A/N Alright everyone with chapter 1 of the story but before that I want to get a few things cleared up. For starters I have not seen the whole Naruto series I have only seen up to when they meet Lee and Neji and friends, so if I make a mistake like I did in the prologue with the kazekage thing please feel free to email me and I will correct it in the next update making the story that much better okay? Second I got some reviews but nearly as many as I wanted but I figured I should start the fic first but you people have to understand reviews are my inspiration and if I don't them get I stop writing so if u want the story to continue you have to review. Alright now that I got all that worked out on with the story

Everything for Nothing

Chap 1

Sakura's P.O.V

"Argh this is so boring" Konohamaru yawned

"Ya it is" agreed Udon "but it's our job so stop complaining"

"Both of you shut up your giving me a headache" Moegi snapped

'Only those three could make a C-rank mission harder than it has to be' Sakura sighed as the three genin continued bickering.

"Look guys if you stop arguing the trip will go way faster ok?" Sakura said at last pleading they would agree.

"Sorry Sakura-sensei" Moegi apologized "but this really is pointless work for ninja I can't even imagine why it got a

C-rank I mean walking a guy no one has ever heard of, just twenty miles from the village"

"I can see why your saying that, but we are going through hostile territory that's why it's a C-rank mission" Sakura explained "actually this reminds me of my first C-rank where we had the same mission, same route, same destination" she finished with her eyes closed trying to remember more.

"Ya but I still don't see the-..."

"Why did you stop... oh you have got to be kidding me" Sakura exclaimed

Directly ahead of them stood a boy with flaming red hair and piercing blue eyes that Sakura instantly recognized as Gaara of the sand.

"Konohamaru, Udon, Moegi I want you to take our client and run back to the village as fast as can understood?"

"Understood" came swift three reply's then they were gone retreating as fast as possible

"Alright Gaara if you want to go after them now you have to go through me first" said Sakura

After a moments pause the icy reply came "what ever gave you the idea that they were our target, no Sakura we are after you"

"We" Sakura asked quizzically

"Ya we" came the answer from behind her

Sakura whirled to see a blonde haired boy wearing an orange clad outfit blocking her escape route.

To both the sand ninjas utter amazement Sakura burst out laughing saying "Oh Gaara how sad that you had to bring back up just to deal with little old me" while trying to look as harmless as possible.

"Oh you think your funny don't you, you think your so good huh" Gaara spat "If you want to know he's only here to carry what's left of you back to our village after I'm done with you"

Just at that moment Naruto yawned "Now that you mentioned it Gaara I am a little tired today she's all yours"

"Damn right" growled Gaara still infuriated by Sakura

And with that Sakura vanished a second before Gaara followed it had begun. Both moving too fast for the normal person to follow Naruto laid occasionally seeing flashes of light from kunai meeting kunai.

After a few moments of this it was over Naruto heard one of the kunai hit its target and both ninja reappeared watching and waiting for the hit to take effect. When the kunai wound opened it was not Sakura as Naruto had expected who fell ,but Gaara bleeding from a deep wound to his neck, Gaara had died before he even hit the ground.

Naruto was in temporary amazement long enough for Sakura to make her way to him and cup his chin her hand gently.

She smiled at him smugly "I'll still let you surrender if your scared"

A/N- I know the chapter was kind of short but the chapters are going to get longer as I go. Also about me killing off Gaara please don't flame me for it I just couldn't keep him in the story. So remember if you want the story to continue REVIEW
