Something I should have mentioned in the previous chapter is that the characters in Kunoichi will not always be Naruto characters. They could be some of the girls that were in the same class as Sakura, Hinata and Ino, but for the purposes of this story it doesn't really matter. But not all the chapters are OCs. The next chapter is based on a Naruto kunoichi. I'll try to get one chapter for each. Can you guess which character the next chapter will be about?
Thanks to BlueDragonGirl1 for proofing the story.

'Play hard to get,' she thought to herself as she swirled the clear liquid in her glass. 'Make him work for it, don't let him see you're working on him. Control.'
"Control," she muttered inaudibly to herself, taking a sip of her drink. Enough drink to make her flush, but nowhere near enough to make her lose herself.
This was not what she had been expecting. When she had thought of espionage missions she had always thought of fine houses and grand balls. Mingling with the rich and powerful. Lifting priceless artifacts right out from under their noses. Or tricking lords into telling her privileged information.
Not waiting in some dingy bar for some thug that got lucky. She should not even be here yet. She was not prepared, not fully trained. She needed more time.
Konoha did not have that time.
She had been the only kunoichi available that fit the tastes of the target. The village was just too short after Orochimaru's attack.
Damn snake bastard.
She angrily slammed her cup down. Taking a deep breath she calmed herself down. She had to be in control. Hard to get, just the way he liked them, but showing just enough interest to keep him interested.
The kunoichi from her training class had always swarmed in to congratulate a fellow year mate when she had lost her virginity. There were some for her class who had sex with men that they simply liked or thought was cute. She had been waiting to find someone she loved. She had thought she had a year left.
She had never imagined her first time would be a grimy inn above a grubby bar.
She would not be bragging about this.
"Damnit," she grumbled and proceeded to take another swig of her sake. She wished it was not watered down.
She wished more that she was not even here. But she couldn't change the fact that Konoha needed her. This village that raised her and took care of her needed her to help them. That was the only thing keeping her from bolting out the door.
She would repay them for the kindness they showed her and her year mates.
She resisted the urge to slam the cup down again. She was beginning to think that the wait would be harder then the actual act. Too much time to think about things better ignored.
The door opened, allowing the waning light of day to enter the dank bar for a few second before being cut off. She resisted the urge to turn around and look.
'Control,' she repeated once more in her mind, as she felt his eyes land on her. After a few moments she felt him approach, and hoped that it was her target coming towards her.
"Hello there, little lady. Would you mind if I took a seat?" the man spoke. She slowly turned her head and made a show of making it look like she was 'inconspicuously' looking him over.
It was her target. She resisted the urge to say 'finally!'.
Instead she simply stated with a fake slur, "No ones stopping you," and took another swig of her drink. The target gave a wide grin and sat down.
She watched him through the corner of her eye. He was not ugly. She felt no better.
She briefly wondered if it would be easier if he had looked like one of the guys she crushed on.
"So why is a lovely women such as yourself drinking all alone in a bar, hmm?" he started.
Instead of rolling her eyes, she played the roll she had been given, " 'Cause he's a two-timing jerk who can't finish anything he starts," she grumbled. After a beat she added with a glare "All men are." She proceeded to knock back half of her remaining drink.
The target gave an indulgent chuckle, "Well, little lady, I assure you I finish everything I start."
The guy was a slim ball and she wanted to punch him. Instead she scoffed, "Prove it. I've certainly got all night."
"As you wish my lady, but first let me get you another drink," the target drawled, "I've got all night too."
She certainly hoped it didn't take her all night to get what she needed. She already wanted a shower.

I would also like to mention that this is the third rewrite of this chapter. The first was much better. Even if my computer crashes and all my back ups screw up and deletes this for some reason, I will not be rewriting this damn chapter again!
