Sakura P.O.V
I was awake before dawn came so I enjoyed the warmth of the sun's rising rays. I began to pack my things for a mission I was going to go on tomorrow. Master Tsunade hadn't given me the details yet so I had to go to her office for debriefing today. On my way to her office I half expected Naruto to pop up out of no where and walk with me to her office but then I brought my self back to reality. Instead of Naruto it was Neji who greeted me and began to walk with me to her office. Neji still looked somewhat the same besides the fact that he had gotten taller by a quite a few inches, his long straight brown hair had grown out to his waist, his lilac/white eyes still enigmatic. He had also been promoted up to ANBU captain alongside Shikamaru and I after the Great War. Today I had worn my hair up in a high ponytail with my bangs framing both sides of my face. I wore a black halter top that shaped my breast and figure nicely with my black shorts that ran down just above my mid thigh. My arms were bandaged up just before my elbow, I learned this little trick from another ANBU medic from a previous mission. With the Kyuubi inside me now there are times that too much of my chakra and his mixed would begin to deteriorate my skin the bandages help prevent that with an ointment that I put on my arms. Many were surprised that I was the Kyuubi's next host because no one ever thought I would be but because Tsunade saw I had the best chakra control in this village and I was one of the top Kunoichi here as well, I was fit to be his new host. With his new found power inside me I was one of the most feared shinobi among the nations.
" Good Morning Sakura." , said Neji to me as he began walking beside me.
"Good Morning", I answered back, " Were you assigned a mission also?", I asked him.
"Well I'm assigned with you actually."
Strange Tsunade never sent to captains on the same mission together. Something told me this was not going to be a simple mission. As we arrived we were greeted by Shizune.
" Ah! Good Morning Neji and Sakura. My Lady has been waiting for you please follow me."
Shizune was like a sister to me. When Tsuande took me as her apprentice I began to see her like a mother and Shizune would always look out for me though at first I was not warm to either one little by little they began to get closet to me and now Shizune is one of the last few people who I trust along side with Tsunade.
" Neji! Sakura!", called out Tsunade as we walked in her office it was cluttered with neglected paper work and her room wreaked of sake. She never managed to miss a good drink when it was possible. We stood there waiting as she handed some documents to us. The pictures she handed us were grotesque and vile, it was three children who had been sliced horribly and had been severely injured to top it all off there was a ginormous hole in the center of their abdomen.
" As you can see these three children have been severely beaten and tortured to death. The details are that they were also drained of their chakra and as you can clearly see there is a hole in their abdomen. In other circumstances I would have sent other ninja but this matter is incredibly important."
Tsunade stood up and and stared out her office window.
" Each of these children in these pictures all had a great power within them, for what reason someone may want this power I have no idea but we fear that the Kazekage of the Sand Village is the next target, he may be strong but still we cannot afford to break our bond with the Sand. Neji, Sakura you are to go to the Sand Village bring the Kazekage back here where he will be protected at all hours here within the village."
With that we nodded and left to sort out the last details of this mission.
Normal P.O.V
Tsuande sat there drinking her sake disgusted by the vile acts committed to these defenseless children. She sent her two best shinobi on this investigation because she knew they could handle it but something inside her was telling her they would need extra help. She looked over her files but she knew no other shinobi would be strong enough she couldn't send Shikamaru because he was already on another mission. At times like these she missed Naruto dearly his optimism brought her spirits up even though at times he got on her nerves she still cared deeply for the boy and his loss hit her hard. As she was sorting some files out she herd Shizune yelling.
" Uchiha wait! The Hokage is very busy! Just hand me your paper work and I'll turn them in."
Saskue walked in and Tsunade was hit with a very good idea.
" Here.", said the Uchiha as he walked away after leaving the paper work.
"Uchiha wait!", said Tsunade to him he stopped in his path and turned to face her.
"Even though you've been back only a day and there are still some matters needed to be discussed with you. I am going to send you on an A ranked mission with two of my best shinobi they are both ANBU captains so they are both your commanding officers."
Saskue stood there for quite some time contemplating this offer.
"No.", was all the raven haired ninja said and he turned around and continued to walk out. Tsunade quickly stood and called out to the newly returned rogue nin.
" Saskue you are my subordinate now! You forget I can still punish you for betraying this village."
The raven haired man smirked and turned around to face the Slug Princess. There was great tension between both ninjas.
"As if you can defeat me wench.", said the former rogue nin.
" Do not forget Saskue that I can defeat you.", said the Slug Princess menacingly. Both ninjas glared at each other until the onyx eyed man sighed.
" Fine but I want my living accommodations free of charge. I do not wish to live in that wretched mansion."
Tsunade agreed to this and both ninjas went their separate ways.
Sakura P.O.V
When I finished packing my things I went to go take a shower. As I let the water run while I undressed myself looking into the mirror I saw the younger version of me from years ago. The girl that was once filled with compassion and determination, she disgusted me because she was foolish and naive oblivious to the fact that she would loose everything dear to her as she got older.
Why did things have to turn out like this? Now that Saskue's back! Why do I keep suffering like this?
Feeling the steaming water run down my back felt good. All my muscles began to relax themselves and my mind slowly drifted to Naruto. As I was wrought with many memories I felt a familiar chakra in my apartment.
Saskue P.O.V
Tsunade's assistant had given me the directions to one of the captain's apartments. As I knocked and waited for an answer and received none I decided to let my self in. The room was dimly lit the floor was black carpet and the walls were painted a blood red, a black couch sat in the center of the room and a plasma TV hung on the wall facing the couch. A black long curtain hung on the window with a red silhouette fabric as well. In front of the couch was a black coffee table with a small bamboo plant in the center of the table. From the bed room I could here someone was in the shower so I waited in the living room for the guy to finish.
About 30 minutes later whoever was showering finished. I stood up and started heading towards the bedroom.
Sakura P. O.V
Who ever was in my house had stayed in the living room the entire time. As I wrapped the around myself I took a kunai out of my pouch. I didn't think the intruder was a threat but still one can never be to careful. The chakra was familiar yet I couldn't tell who it was. I felt the immense power of chakra shift towards my room the shadow began closing in on my room so I threw my kunai to the intruder. It grazed his cheek leaving a slight cut there. I was a bit surprised to find Him here at my house. What could he possibly want.
Saskue P.O.V
As I reached the bedroom a kunai barely slipped by me yet still leaving a slight cut. Looking into the room I see Sakura wrapped in a towel still wet from a fresh shower. She looked like a death angel with her fierce emerald eyes staring straight into my soul, shoe had an incredibly sexy smirk on her angelic face. Her dark pink hair dripping from her shower, her strong, toned, long cream legs that I ached to touch with my hands.
" Can I help you Uchiha.", she spat.
Her figure so mesmerizing to me, I imagined myself walking up to her and pulling her wet body against mine, smelling the sweet scent of her strawberry shampoo, her luscious curves under my fingertips. Her question had brought me back to reality.
"Hn."
Sakura sighed and turned her back to me.
" I said, Can I help you?"
I re-looked at the address Tsunade had given. It was correct but why was Sakura here?, unless this is her boyfriends house? This sudden thought made my blood boil, why though? It's not like I have some type of claim on her.
" I came to speak with and ANBU captain but it seems that I have been given the wrong address."
She turned back around to face me, her face a complete mask.
" Is that so." , she said her eyes never once leaving mine she closed our distance and and looked as if she could see everything I had ever done.
" Well what a tragedy little Uchiha is lost.", she purred.
I glared at her but she never once flinched like she use to when we were kids. How dare she mock me she has no right to I could kill her if I wanted to right now and she would be completely unaware of this. With that I backed her up onto the wall pressing my body against hers at the touch of our bodies we both hissed at this feeling. We glared at each other until without realizing what I was doing I found myself cupping her face with my right hand.
" Let me go Uchiha.", she stated with and annoyed tone.
" Not until you tell me where this ANBU captain is."
She smirked and closed what little gap was left between us.
" You're looking right at her.", she whispered sensuously to me. My eyes widened at this little fact. When I left she was weak and now 6 years later I return and she's in ANBU and a captain at that. Things have changed so much since I left and she's is now supposedly strong I smirked at this thought because now it made me curious to see what she was now made of. With my guard down Sakura switched our possessions and smirked.
" So what can I do for you?"
" Like I said I've been assigned to your mission by Tsunade and I came to get briefed so tell me all the details."
She whispered into to my ear, " Can I get a please."
My blood boiled and I wanted very badly to beat her. Where does she get off to treat me like this she needs to know her place.
" Sakura I'm trying very hard not to lose it so tell me what the details are."
She let go of my hands and walked towards her closet.
"Let me get dressed and well talk in my living room."
With that I walked out of her room and waited for her.
Sakura P.O.V
"I came to speak with and ANBU captain but it seems that I have been given the wrong address."
Remember Saskue saying that to me made me want to kick his ass, he really doesn't think I have what it takes to be ANBU. He's so full of himself like he would know what I'm capable of now he hasn't been hasn't seen me for 6 years. I wasn't planning on telling him shit until he mentioned that Tsunade had assigned him and fir her I'd do anything. I put some black sweats on and a white spaghetti strap once I brushed my long pink hair I walked out to the arrogant ass hole waiting in my living room. He was sitting on the couch with his head laying back looking up to my ceiling.
" Would you like some tea?"
"Hn.", was all he said.
Still with the same short answers well some things never change. I walked into my kitchen and put some water in a pot to heat up. Then I went back to my living room and turned the stereo on the song Emergency was playing I looked back to Saskue and saw that he was staring at me.
" Take a picture it lasts longer." I said to him. I smirked and internally was laughing at him. I couldn't let that one slip by me. His face was a complete mask and I couldn't tell what he was thinking. When the water was ready I went back to the kitchen got to mugs and prepared the tea I walked back to the living room and sat on the couch with Saskue (Need I mention I sat far away from him!).
" Okay well our mission is to go to Suna and bring the Kazekage back here to Konoha so he can be protected within our walls. If you're wondering why the reason is because there have been some killings going on 3 children were murdered and drained of their chakras the thing they all have in common is that they have all had a demon within them and were very powerful. Tsunade believes the Kazekage is their next target so that's were we come in."
This was the first time that I had actually taken the time to really look at him since he got back. His strong features in his face gave him such a mature and handsome look. His lips perfectly balanced out those high cheek bones, his flawless features, and his eyes which I had always loved, so dark and endless I could loose myself within then them. I felt my heart beat accelerate so I looked away from him. My inner me was yelling to me.
Sakura get a hold of your self girl! Remember he ditched you for POWER! He doesn't deserve you you're better off without him you're strong and independent. Keep it together woman!
" What time will we be meeting at the gates?"
As I was about to answer his question my phone rang. I got up to answer it and herd a screeching yell on the other side I knew who it was as soon as she screamed.
"What Ino-pig!", I said rather harshly even though she was my best friend I still got annoyed by her sometimes.
" Shika proposed!", I smiled at the news of this then herd a grunt come from my living room.
" I'm so happy for you Pig. I'll call you back later alright I have to take care of somethings is that alright?"
" Yes Yes I'll be waiting Billboard brow!"
With that she hung up and I went back to my other pain in the ass.
" What did she want?" he asked.
I raised and eyebrow to him and thought whether I should tell him or not.
" Well Shikamaru proposed to Ino.", I said with a smile on my face. I felt joy that my best friend had found happiness but then felt a pang of sadness, everyone seemed to be finding happiness but me even Hinata. I remember when I asked her 3 months ago about how she felt with Naruto not being with us anymore. Her answer left me a bit surprised.
Flashback
" Hey Hinata?" I said to her as we were walking back from Naruto's grave.
"Yes Sakura-chan."
"How do you feel about um Naruto you know being gone?"
She stop and turned to look at me she smiled and went on to saying.
" Well yes I am sad that he is gone but I know that he isn't gone. He isn't dead."
I looked at her with such a confused face. I mean I'm not that smart but still I mean he is well yeah gone. She laughed gently and continued.
" He still lives within me and Reiko and this village as well. He fought very hard for this village since he became a ninja and wanted so much to prove to this village he was worth something and he did. With time the villagers came to respect him and admired him they still do and he will forever be remembered. I am proud to say I am his wife and friend I am proud to wear Uzumaki as my last name. My love for him will never die and I will live and continue on what he believes in."
I smiled at this and we continued our walk back to the village.
End Flashback
Saskue sat there gazing at me for a second I thought I saw longing in his eyes but then his eyes went back to being dark and empty. He reached over to me and put a strand of my hair behind my ear then cupped my face. My heart began to accelerate and I enjoyed the warmth his calloused hands gave off. My eyes closed at his touch and I felt him pull me closer to him when I opened my eyes I was meet with onyx so deep and endless I wanted to loose myself in them and never come out. Then I remembered all the pain he had caused me and I felt my eyes water at this thought I blinked to hold back tears I would not shed anymore. Pulling away from him I said to him.
" We meet at the gates at 5 A.M sharp"
With that he stood up and walked to the door and I followed behind him and as he opened the door he turned around and pulled me into a fierce embrace. His action caught me off guard and I stood there frozen not knowing what to think or do. The last thing he said before leaving really made me angry and confused.
" I will bring you back Sakura. I swear. Don't ever forget I still care about you."
Oh Goodness here we are at the end of this chappie! Awww *tears*
Well lets see what happens next between these two and why is this killer taking all these demons? Please R&R No flames though!
