She sat in the tree suppressing her chakra and waited for them. Anbu Training ground 3 was outdoors behind the Hokage's Tower. Half building jutted out of the cliff wall, random trees growing here and there. It's where the 4th Hokage had trained with Jiraiya.

They came into view, a few minutes later walking side by side talking casually.

She narrowed her eyes at them. They knew each other. The taller of the two sat down on a rock at the base of the cliff while the other looked around a bit, presumably for her.

"If she isn't here already she will be soon." The one that had been looking around said.

"She is here, she is in that tree over there watching us." The taller one on the rock pointed directly at her.

-Serves you right for judging them without seeing their abilities first-

She teleported from her tree beside the taller one sitting on the rock.

"You both know me don't you, outside of Anbu." Again, another statement.

They removed their masks. Shisui Uchiha grinned at her while Sasuke Uchiha scowled at her.

"Fuck me." She facepalmed, then grit her teeth in frustration.

"I'd love to, are you free tonight?" Shisui gave her a heart thumping grin while Sasuke rolled his eyes and continued to scowl, but instead of at her, at Shisui.

"Why you two, there isn't anyone else? I'd rather be with newbies than two Uchiha." She closed her eyes in frustration.

"Aww come on Sakura," Shisui purred, "We are much better than new recruits, we actually know what we're doing most of the time."

"I didn't even want to be here. The Hokage told me it was this or a string of D-rank missions for the rest of my life." Sasuke murmured.

"No one else will work with you Sakura, you're stuck with us. I would like to add, I volunteered." Shisui smiled again. He took her hand and kissed it.

She kicked him across the field.

"Love hurts." Shisui mumbled and got up to walk back to his new team.

"So, where's the captain?" She asked looking from one to the other.

Sasuke growled low in his throat but didn't say anything, Shisui just laughed and winked at her.

"No." She turned as she felt him coming closer.

"Itachi." She growled, like Sasuke had.

"Sakura, address me as Captain anytime we are in Anbu gear, you are no longer a Captain." His voice was cold and emotionless.

"I need to see how you interact with your new teammates, Sasuke spar with her." He wouldn't even look at her.

"First blood wins." she called out to Sasuke as he walked away from her.

"I was your first blood remember Sakura?" Sasuke gave her a knowing smirk.

"They say your first time always sucks but with you it was down right terrible, good thing I had nothing to compare it to." She pointed at the field again and waved at him with a shooing motion.

Shisui was grinning again, did he ever stop?

-Freaking weirdo if you ask me, hot, but weird-

They faced one another on the field and made the sign for friendly spar. Shei flickered to Sasuke's right and jabbed him in the side, but as she moved to jab him on the other side Sasuke blocked it with his scabbard. A kick to the head, flipped over by a foot, round and uppercut to the face, met with a shin then forced the the ground, kunai to the throat, a knick, two drops of blood.

"Not bad Sakura, I forget how good you are with a scabbard and a blade Sasuke. Now genjutsu." Itachi told them.

She throws a smoke bomb and stands still then, her hands are a blur as she casts a three layer genjutsu.

Sasuke's eyes had jsut began to spin red and she looked at his lower lip. He bit it, he was nervous. Had her's worked?

Sasuke started howling in pain then she heard him shouting , "Release! Release!"

"Sasuke, you're pathetic." Itachi said tone drab again.

She had won that round. She released her genjutsu and smiled to herself, fuck yeah.

"This time, Shisui will be joining the fight. No rules except, no killing blows, no torture genjutsu, in other words, nothing permenant. You attack one another." Itachi told them, and they nod.

Securing her hair in a ponytail, with her katana on her back she cracks her neck.

"Go." Itachi commanded.

She teleports to Shisui and he flickers away, Sasuke comes from her left cutting upward with his katana and she grabs his sword with her chakra infused hand not letting it go, pulling him in for a hit to knock him out when Shisui flickers behind her, she ducks and he punches Sasuke in the face.

Sasuke growls and launches himself at Shisui who body flickers to Sakura with a one handed sign called forth a murder of crows that swarm and caw at her, she teleports to the side, Shisui rushes her through his murder and she blocks a kick to her middle, grabbing his foot and flipping him over , she lands on his chest with her knees and his breath is pushed out of him.

Before she can get off of his chest Sasuke shoots chakra wires around her and she falls to the side, arms behind her back, pushing chakra to her fist making a chakra blade she cuts the wires before Sasuke can cut her head off with his sword.

"Hey! No lethal blows Sasuke! What if she hadn't moved in time or cut the wires!" Shisui was pissed, and he had liked her on top of him.

Sakura was already running and jumping into the air coming down on Sasuke with a chakra punch that threw both of the men away from her in a cloud of dust and raining rocks. She stood in the middle of her little crater shaking rocks and dust from her clothes like a dog and bounded up the side to meet and deflect two of Sasuke's poisoned kunai, sliding under him- just like last time- and throwing two kunai of her own. One stuck in his thigh and he fell.

"Lethal poison ." Sakura picked up one of the kunai he had thrown. "He said no lethal force. This was a test of skill." She brought the kunai to her nose and sniffed. "Strychnos toxifera ".

"This would have killed me almost instantly, or Shisui, what the fuck is wrong with you?" She picked up her other kunai and threw it at him, he went to dodge,but was too slow and it stuck into his other thigh.

"What, did you poison your kunai too?" Sasuke's brow was furrowed.

"Foxglove." She came up to him, hands glowing green with healing chakra and pressed them over his heart. "You'll be fine now." Bending down slightly she gripped a kunai with each hand and ripped them from his legs. He grunted and glared at her.

"We're done for today. Meet by the river grounds tomorrow at dawn" Itachi told them as Sakura started stomping away.

"Hey!." Sasuke called after her, "aren't you going to heal my legs?"

"Fuck no." She flipped him off and teleported home.

"I like her." Shisui grinned at him.

"I hate her." Sasuke continued to glare at the spot Sakura had been in just a moment ago.

"Hum, could have fooled me." Shisui laughed.

"Enough." Itachi said as he stared off in the direction Sakura had gone.
