-Sasuke's POV-
Finally, I lost them.
I sighed as I lay on the grass. Damn fan girls, don't know when to stop. I grumbled angrily for a few minutes before sighing again. If I'm having a hard time, Itachi must be going through HELL. Why must we be so unbelievable beautiful and resistible? I asked that once but all I got form Itachi was: "Because it's God's Will." Speaking of Itachi, what was up with him last night?
*Flashback*
"Good evening, Nii-san," I greeted Itachi once he entered the living room. I raised an eyebrow as Itachi ignored me and headed for the laptop. That's weird, he usually greets back with his usual: "Good evening to you too, Foolish Little Brother."
I cleared my throat. Ignored.
Cough. Ignored.
Fake sneeze. Ignored.
Fine, we'll do it the hard way…
"So, I saw this book about weasels and it said that they were allergic to shrimps…you might be similar to a weasel than just your name Weasel-nii-san." I chuckled and ducked as a book was thrown to my head.
"Ahh, so you CAN hear," I smirked at the glare Itachi threw at me.
"Of course I can hear, dimwit." I blinked at the name he called me. Dimwit? I heard Foolish before but never DIMWIT.
"Sorry, sheesh. What made you so snappy," I mumbled, pouring some wine in the glass. Yeah, he's underage but since when did he –actually the whole world- care? Never.
"You're ignoring me again, Itachi. Stop hurting my feelings," I smirked and waited for the sarcastic remark that I just knew would come. I blinked when all I heard was the same furious typing of Itachi. I sighed angrily and sat down. As much as it makes him seem like a spoiled brat, he despises the idea of being ignored. He was just so use to being the center of attention –courtesy of the fan girls- that it's foreign to him to be ignored. I mean, with this kind of face and body…who would (or can for that matter) ignore him? No one.
"Foolish little brother, stop flattering yourself in your head and get me some wine." I blinked at the sudden intrusion of my thinking.
"What, no please?" I smirked, setting my glass on the table in front of me.
"No." I rolled my eyes before standing up and walking to the small table where the wines were. I glanced at Itachi before putting down the wine and closing it. Itachi didn't even blink when I was suddenly was beside him and gave him his wine.
"So, what are you researching about?"
I blinked at the sentence typed down in Google. List of Best Female Fighters?
"Who are you looking for?" I asked coolly, keeping the surprise off my face and voice.
"No one. Leave."
"Not happening. Now tell me," I asked, grabbing a chair and sitting down on it.
"I'm just looking for a good prey, alright?"
"And you expect me to believe that? Have you forgotten that you're the good one between the two of us, Itachi? Try again." I saw Itachi sigh angrily and glare at me.
"Sasuke, you are testing my patience. Leave before I make you remember who exactly you are talking to," Itachi threaten before typing something else. I sighed in mock surrender before standing up.
"Fine, fine. I'll leave," I said 'defeated.' I glance at screen one more time before blurring.
*End of Flashback*
"Haruno…Sakura. Who the hell is that? And why was he researching about her? Did she do anything to attract their attention? If so, then what did she do that attracted it?" I rubbed my temples when I felt a headache coming. So many questions, none which has an answer. I stood and stretched.
"I hate it when I don't know something," I thought. It was already eight and the bell just rang a few minutes ago. Not that he has to be early; he IS the President after all. He just has a reputation to uphold and he didn't feel like skipping today. Plus, he needs to ask the Hyuuga about the girl and why the Akatsuki are taking an interest in her.

-Sasuke's POV-
"Hey Teme!" I banged my head to the table. I do NOT feel like talking to him right now.
"What, Naruto?" I muttered. I heard (Yeah, heard!) Naruto freeze beside me. I glanced at him in question before returning back to the laptop.
"Naruto? NARUTO?!" I winced at his volume. I'm right beside him, doesn't he know that?
"Teme, you okay? Are you sick? Or…no…it can't be…" Naruto started panting and he fell down, clutching his shirt where his heart is.
"YOU HIT PUBERTY, DIDN'T YOU!?"
BAM!
"ITAI!" Naruto wailed, holding his head in pain. I glared at him, a huge book in my hand.
"Stop being so dramatic, you idiot." I said, "And I have you know that I hit puberty a LONG time ago."
"Not before me."
"Don't flatter yourself. Now, what do you want?" I muttered, scrolling down. Saburo…Saito…Saki…Ahh here it is.
"Sakura? As in Cherry blossoms?" I nodded at Naruto (who had somehow grabbed the chair that was seven feet away from them and sit on it without him noticing).
"Why are you looking through those files?"
"I asked you first. What do you want?"
"I asked you second. Why are you looking through those files?"
"I'm looking for someone," I replied. Hyuuga told me that his father had the record of everyone in Konoha. He had the name of everyone. From middle age people to babies. He even had the record of all the DOGS living here. I know, paranoid much?
"Why are you looking for her?"
"How do you know it's a girl?" Naruto gave me a look of disbelief.
"Seriously? What kind of parents would name their baby boy Sakura?"
"I don't know. Parents who were drunk?" I muttered. Naruto and I stared out in space for a bit before nodding our heads and shrugging.
"Possible. But seriously, why are you looking for this girl?"
"Because Itachi was researching about her too," I answered. I raised an eyebrow at the screen. Name not found? That can't be right. Itachi would never research on someone who isn't from here.
"How 'bout you try in the boys section?" Naruto said, snatching the laptop from me, "Who are you looking for?"
"Naruto, Sakura Haruno is obviously a girl. You said it yourse-"
"Found it. Sakura Haruno." I blinked at the laptop screen. The name: SAKURA HARUNO was in bold in top of probably should been a picture of her…him…it? Nevermind.
"There's barely any information about this…person," I muttered, scrolling through the file.
"That's odd," I heard Naruto mutter beside me.
"What is?" I saw Naruto shrug and sit straighter.
"Well, you know how the Hyuuga are. They would never let anyone in Konoha unless they have all the information they want from them. They ask everything. Who are your parents, your GRANDPARENTS, what school did you graduate from. They even will ask which HOSPITAL you were born in! They're just weird like that, but it's because of that weirdness that nothing happened to Konoha. So why would they let someone, who they have little to no information about, walk around the streets of Konoha? Let alone come in?" I nodded at his explanation, my arms cross. You know, when Naruto wants to, he can be really smart. Too bad the only time he does want to is when it involves either his family or Konoha. He's a genius if it's both. Naruto grabbed the laptop and typed something.
"So, what are you going to do?"
"Honestly, I don't know," I muttered, running a hand through my hair, "the main reason why I'm researching about this person is because Itachi was researching her. And if she attracted Itachi's attention then she probably also attracted the Akatsuki's attention. I want to know exactly WHY."
"And so?" I huffed and rubbed my temples.
"Let's continue. Try to dig up more information about her," I said, grabbing the laptop form Naruto.
"Well, it looks like we don't have to worry about her attacking Konoha. She's been here since 2007," I muttered. Yes, I was worried about Konoha. How can't I? I've been living here ever since…well I was born. And God knows that that's a LONG time.
"So?"
"So that means that if she was planning on attacking Konoha, she would have probably done that by now."
"What if…what if she's trying to stay hidden, you know? Trying to keep a low profile, keep people from suspecting her," Naruto said, taking a sip of his drink after talking.
"You have such a mysterious mind, Naruto."
"Hey, it could happen." Naruto said, shrugging.
"Could but it isn't."
"And how sure are you?"
"One hundred and one percent."
"Fine, whatever."
All was silent when Naruto suddenly ask,
"So why was Itachi researching about this girl?"
"Were you not listening!? That's whole reason why I'm researching about her!" Naruto brought his hands up as a sign of surrender.
"Okay, okay! Gosh…"
And again everything was silent.
"So, how are going to find her? We can't find any information about her in Konoha records. What more in…Google." My eyes widen and I sat straighter. Naruto, you're a genius! Like hell I'm saying that out loud!
"Wow, what's with that face? That's your I-suddenly-realized-it face," Naruto said, inching away from me while I just smirked at him and typed down a website.
"You're right-
"I am?"
"If we can't find her in Konoha records…" I trailed off, typing her name in the search bar. My smirked widen when her name appeared. Bingo.
"Who says we can't find her in other records?" I clicked her name and this time, I wasn't disappointed. A picture appeared (Wow…pink hair.) and everything about her. I mentioned Naruto to come nearer and showed him the laptop.
"There."
"HOLY SHIT!"
I glared at Naruto as the soda Naruto SPIT at me dripped from my hair.
"What's your deal?" I muttered, grabbing the towel from my bag and wiping my face.
"I know that girl! I saw her when I was at my History Class!"
"So, she schools here?"
"No. I saw her walking pass our school. I didn't recognize
e her uniform though. Never saw it in my life. But yesterday, while I was getting chase by my fan girls, I jumped over a wall and I saw a girl who had the same uniform, and strangely had the same eyes as Neji, and-"
"Wow, wow. The girl you saw had the same eyes as NEJI?"
"Well not really, when she wasn't glaring at me, it was more of a…pearl color while Neji's looks like one of a blind person. But dude, when she was glaring at me…Damn, I don't which was scarier. That girl's or Neji's and yours combined. Anyway, she asked me why I was at her school."
"We have a school near here besides Akatsuki High?" I asked, raising an eyebrow. Naruto shrugged,
"I guess we do."
"Do you remember the name?"
"Wait…she said it…it was…God...Me…Godaime High! I think…" Naruto scratched his, his face crunched up in concentration.
"It's okay Naruto, I don't want you to burn any brain cell, so you can stop thinking."
"Hey!"
"But isn't Godaime the school who got first place?"
"Yep!"
RINGG!
"And there goes the bell! See ya, Teme. I got to get to class," Naruto said, grabbing his bag from the ground and putting back the chair.
"Since when do you care about class?"
"Correction: Gym Class."
"Ahh. No wonder," I muttered, closing my laptop and putting it under the table. I don't have to worry about anyone stealing it. The Council had a room in the library just for them and only the Council members can get in. Reason being because we have the keys.
"How 'bout we discuss this with the other members after class, Sasuke? I think we have a better chance of finding about her if we work together." I nodded and waved at Naruto before doing my rounds. I hate it when I have rounds. It's so boring, nothing really happens.

-Sasuke's POV-
I sighed tiredly and stretched. Oh, that feels good.
"Teme!" I winced and rubbed my ears.
"Dobe, this is a library. So shut up. And you're late," I muttered, turning to face him.
"Doesn't matter! Check this out!" I moved to give space while Naruto grabbed a chair. I stared at the laptop screen.
"What am I suppose to be looking at?" Naruto rolled his eyes at his best friend.
"Look," Naruto said, pointing at date of the crime, "this crime was made on August 23, 2007. TWO DAYS after Sakura came."
"So? It could be just a coincidence."
"Fine!" Naruto threw his hands in the air. He typed something else and grabbed my laptop and opened it.
"One week after the last crime, the SAME accident happened. A couple were found dead with BITE marks on their necks and not far away were strands of PINK hair," Naruto said.
"Naruto, that doesn't mean anything," I said. What is up with this guy?
"Dude, would it kill you to let me finish?!" Naruto pointed to another accident.
"There, another accident where this time two teenage couple-" I coughed awkwardly. How to say this…
"Actually, Naruto…That was…" Naruto froze before glaring at me.
"Don't tell me…Sasuke! You promised not to!"
"Hey! In my defense, they attacked me!"
"By what!? A pink purse!?"
"Maybe…" I mumbled while Naruto shook his head.
"You know what? Nevermind. All the signs of her being a you-know-what is there!"
"Right there, it states that she is a master in Martial Arts. Her speed, agility, stamina are all off the charts. Blah…blah…blah…Ahh here! When angry, her sclera seems to be turning red and her pupils forms a cross. Though it also says that all the information they had gathered were all base from observing her, so they don't know if it's actually true or not."
"Naruto, this doesn't prove anything yet!"
"Hates: Direct sunlight, wolves, VERBENA!" (1)
"And BLOOD. How can she be if she hates BLOOD?!"
"You're brother hates blood."
"He's a different matter. He's weird."
"Why can't you accept that she is a va-"
"Because it's impossible! If what the information said was true, that she was here for five years already, then I, or maybe even Itachi, would have already smelt her! And why would the Hyuuga let her in if she was!?" I yelled, slamming my hand on hand the table.
Naruto stared at his best friend, who was panting a bit and glaring at the table, his eye flashing red. Naruto smirked; this isn't about that at all…
"You're scared, aren't you?" Naruto grinned when I flinched.
"What are you talking about?" I muttered, standing up.
"No, no. This is what it's all about. You're scared of this girl."
"You're ridiculous, Naruto. Why would I be scared of this girl?" I mumbled, my voice going softer by every word.
"Well, I don't know. Because she had manage to hide from you or because she caught your brother's attention. Or MAYBE it's because…you think she's stronger than you."
CRACK.
BAM!
"Hahahaha! Chill Teme! I was kidding!"
"You better be!"
"…Or was I?"
BAM!
"Okay, okay! I was!" Naruto laughed, throwing his head back. I glared at him at Naruto with hate. Stupid blonde idiot. I sighed, rubbing my temples. I walked to the window and stared at the sky. Yeah, Naruto was right. He was scared that this girl was stronger than him, I mean, look at her abilities. Everything was off the chart, according to Naruto. He wanted to see if it was true.
"What are you thinking about?"
"I want to find this girl and test her abilities myself. Problem is, I don't know where this Godaime school is. Maybe it's in Google Map."
"Sa-Sasuke…"
"Keep quiet for a second, Naruto."
"Seriously, Sasuke. I don't think-"
"Shh!"
"Sasuke, I don't think you need to find this school anymore!" I blinked at him before letting my eyes glance at where he was pointing at. My eyes widen at the figure leaning on our gate.
"Haruno…Sakura."
