Recap:

" What," Sasuke said coolly, keeping his stoic expression on.

" I have something to tell you."

" Go on"

" Well….."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

" Well…"

Sasuke looked at her impatiently. He waited for her statement, and he figured it wasn't going to come any soon.

Sakura just fell in a trance, and she didn't notice Sasuke was waiting.

Flashback:

" Mommy! Don't leave me!"

Young Sakura looked at her bloody mother on the floor in her kitchen.

" Be safe…" Those were her last words, as she went to a better place in life.

End Flashback:

Sakura blinked away a tear, and Sasuke was getting off the bed. Sasuke felt a tug on his arm, and looked back down. Sakura was holding onto his arm, and wasn't letting go.

" My family…. Died too if that makes you feel better." Sasuke looked at the pink haired girl with curiosity. He wondered why she told him, and also why he… felt like he cared.

" They were murdered too, so don't feel so lonely." With those words Sakura let go of Sasuke's arm, and she walked out of the room leaving a stunned Sasuke behind.

As Sakura walked out of the room, she stood by the closed door, and wiped a tear falling off her pure face. She let out a low sniff, and walked back to her guestroom.

She sat on her bed, as she was in deep thought. She rubbed the pendant, and it felt so smooth, and pure. She wondered why she felt weird when she saw him, and what he has to do with her. She hadn't even done anything for the old lady, so why was she here in the first place? She felt connected to Sasuke, but why?

Thoughts roamed through her busy head, trying to find answers she couldn't quite grasp at. Ever since she came here, she felt as if she was getting weaker like the ninja's here. She couldn't help but think there was a different reason why she was in Konoha, but she just didn't get it.

She looked down at her necklace. Who was the special someone her mother had been talking about a few days before she was killed? Was she ever going to meet this special person? All these complicated thoughts went in and out of her mind, and she didn't hear Sasuke standing at the door, watching her touching her necklace.

She didn't see him, but he had a stern expression on his face.

If she's the special someone…then….

'Then she's YOUR special someone.'

………………

Sasuke just walked out of her room, and went to his own again. He didn't understand. Why was she the person, and why was this thing done in the first place? Both of them were thinking similar things, and neither was close to getting answers.

Knock knock!

Sakura's head jerked up, and started heading for the door. She opened it without hesitation, and saw a lady with dark hair standing there.

" Hi, you must be Sakura?" Sakura nodded her head.

" I'm Shizune. Tsuande-sama has asked for your presence. " Sakura nodded as she headed out the door. Sasuke quickly came out from the shadows near the door, and followed them.

At her office:

" Ahh, Sakura, and Sasuke. Come in." She looked at the two teenagers through all the stacks of paperwork.

" I have called you in so I can alert you in your next mission together."

" The dobe's not coming?" Tsunade nodded her head, as she started informing them on the mission.

"It will be a mission on retrieving information. The person who we are finding the information from is a person who knows the possible location for Orochimaru. He is the son of Orochimaru's ally. The most important person in this mission will be you Sakura." She quickly looked at Sakura. " You won't torture the person, but will do it secretly. He will not be killed either. So I suggest you use your values as a woman as an advantage."

Sasuke slightly twitched, and Sakura nodded. Both of them knew what she was talking about. Sakura was to seduce the man to get the information.

" You leave at dawn, and will pack for the rest of day. I wish you luck," She said the last word while shooing them out of her office. She smirked.

I know Sasuke's already found out, I wonder how he will react.

Tsunade smirked once again while intertwining her fingers in front of her face.

" Aren't you affected in what you're going to do." Sasuke asked as he looked at her for a second, but then looked back.

" No," Sasuke looked at her from the corner of his eyes. " A true shinobi never gets emotions or feelings in between what they have to do. So, no"

Sasuke was amazed at her answer. Most girls would cry over that fact. But here this girl was talking about the ways of a real shinobi.

Little did he know.. he was getting feelings for her.

Out of no where Neji popped in front of the two. " Who are you? And why is someone as pretty as you hanging out with lame-o"

Sasuke growled at Neji.

" Well first of all.. I don't think he's lame, I think you are and second of all…." She smacked off Neji's hand that was holding her chin.

" Get your hand off of me." Sakura took Sasuke close to her, and she was dangerously close to him. She made it look like they were kissing, but only they're cheeks were pressed together. Neji's eyes widened, and so did Sasuke's. He felt himself blushing a shade of red as she le go of him, and started to walk off.

Sasuke just followed behind of Sakura, and glanced Neji his famous You're-dead-tonight- look. Sakura smirked as she went to they're home……
