I don't own Naruto, but I do own Yumi she's mine (evil laugh)

Story:Admitting to love

Part nine:S-ranked Criminal Mission prt 1

She waked up from a disturbing sound. It was like someone was yelling at an other. She turned around to hear what made the noise. Her eyes were still closed, but she listened to the voices, she knew when she opened them the voices would stop but there was something deep down telling her she should listen.

"We can't send her on that mission!"

"Off course we can. She's strong enough and the herb will do his job, like always."

Sending who, where? The herb, for my illness? Are they talking about me?

"What is she forgets to take it."

"She won't, she's to scared to become weak again."

"You know what I mean, when she'll turn in her normal self she will take off. "

Weak? Normal self?

"She won't."

"But what if she does. Then what, she knows to much about us, how we work. Damm this girl, I never knew she would cost us so much problems."

Problems?

"She doesn't cost problems, you do. They need a girl there, a girl that can seduce a man, that can kill without any doubt. She's perfect. We trained her well, Kisame."

Seduce? Kill?

She heard enough. They were sending her away on mission. But she still didn't knew any thing about her disease. First that strange question from Yumi, and now this. Turn weak without it? I need to speak Yumi, I need to know what that herb does to me.

She opened her eyes and acted like she just waked up. She knew the two had a fight, but she smiled at them.

"What's up?" She asked with a fake yawn and looked at the two. Itachi looked a little irritated but then his face turned into a little smile seeing her wake up. His mind went back to last night, his tongue playing with hers, just how he liked it.

Kisame looked worried. She saw him looking at her with eyes of a parent that just lost there only child.

"Let's have breakfast." She said to lighten the mood. She knew what was going to happen, at the table Itachi would tell her the mission like he always did. But first she needed to know about the herb, the so called medicine for her disease. She needed to see Yumi.

After she dressed and put her hair in a ponytail like always, all three of them walked out of the motel. She looked at the rising sun, the by passing clouds and dew on the leaves of the tree's nearby. She smiled a little, she always liked the leaves, how they floated with the wind, how they changed color, everything made her feel so calm, and as always by seeing a dew on a leave she rubbed her forehead, like something was there missing.

"Guy's, I need to see someone first okay. It won't take long I promise." She said as she felt she had to know now about the herb. She looked at Kisame that nodded then at Itachi, he didn't looked pleased with her sudden request. After some looks and thought he too nodded and both walked away.

---------------------------------------

"Wake up, you lazy ass." Ino punched Naruto in his stomach. He opened his eyes and saw the blue ones looking straight at him. Some blond fringes tickled his face as he closed them again. "Wake up!" She yelled in his ear.

"Ino, leave it to me." Sasuke said with a smirk. She knew what he was going to do and stepped away from the sleepy Naruto. Ino laughed a bit at the coming event.

"Fire Ball Jutsu!" Sasuke yelled, and a fire ball got out his mouth aiming directly ad Naruto.

Naruto opened his eyes and saw a red fireball coming his way. "Damm you Sasuke!" He yelled and jumped away. He laughed. "Missed me." he said looking at Sasuke.

"You think so? Sasuke smirked and looked at the smoke coming from behind Naruto.

"Wa.. agghhh. What did you do, you bastard!" Naruto yelled back while looking at his butt. He ran to the river and jumped in, the little blame hissed as it went out.

Ino had sat down while looking at the little scene in front of her. This wasn't the first time Sasuke done this. She always tried to wake him up before Sasuke would, but she always needed Sasuke. She wondered how would he get out of his bed without Sasuke doing Fire Ball Jutsu on him. She smiled at the thought.

"So can we leave?" She asked while she got up and looked at the two who were almost ready to kill each other. They always did but this time she didn't liked to see the boy fight, they had a mission, but both ignored her. "Sasuke! Let's go." She hated what she was going to say next but it needed to be done. "If we don't hurry Itachi can disappear again, meaning you can't get your revenge." That did the trick, but it wasn't how she hoped it would. Now she got a evil stare from Sasuke, after that he took of leaving Naruto and Ino behind.

"Wait you bastard we still need to break up the camp." Naruto yelled, in the mean while he graphed his stuff and ran after him, before he was gone he looked at Ino. "Nice going Ino." He said irritated.

It hit her like a punch in her stomach. She knew this could happen, but it was better then the two of them fighting. She felt broken, Sasuke never liked her because she took Sakura's place in the team but Naruto became a good friend of hers. Now she lost that too. She got her stuff and Sasuke's bag he left behind and ran after the others.

---------------------------------------

"Yumi? Yumi, are you there?" Sakura asked as she walked in the drugstore. She walked to the counter, there was nobody. "Yumi?" She asked again but didn't received an answer. She walked past the counter and opened the door that led to a staircase. She knew she was being brutal to just walk in without permission but she didn't had much time and had to find a answer to her question.

"Yumi? She asked again.

She walked up the staircase and found a little apartment above the store. It was small but comfortable. There weren't much furniture but instead a lot of plants. On a little table stood pictures of people. She took one up and looked carefully. This must have been her daughter. Damm I really look like her, no wonder she toughed I was her. She walk through the living room and opened a door. The door let her to the bedroom. The sheets lied untouched on the bed. I guess she didn't slept in her bed. She walked back to the living room. There's no use staying here, Itachi and Kisame are waiting. She waked down and closed the door behind her.

---------------------------------------

In a corner, in a little restaurant two people were talking furious to each other. No one really looked up. It wasn't there business, and how it sounded it, they didn't want it to become there business.

"I still don't think we should sent her, Itachi." Kisame looked more worried then he ever did. He had this strange feeling something terrible was going to happen to her. He didn't knew what or when, but it had to do with the mission Itachi was going to give her.

"She can handle it, she done it over a thousand times, don't worry." Itachi said. Itachi saw her first kill, she did a perfect job, no one saw her leave with him and no one heard him when he got killed. It was perfect, and this time it would go like always, unseen, silent and perfect.

"Hey." She walked to the table they were sitting at. They always ate in the same restaurant, at the same table and always ordered the same food. It bothered her, she always wanted to sit somewhere they haven't sit yet and always ordered thing she wasn't familiar with.

"Waitress!" Kisame winked at her to come and take Sakura's order.

"What will it be miss?" She asked gently, and looked at Sakura who couldn't decide what to eat. She wasn't hungry, she was worried about Yumi, and food was the last things she wanted right now. But if Itachi would send her of for mission she would have to eat.

"Mmmh, I would like a sandwich with cheese and tomatoes and a coke." She looked up to the waitress and smiled.

"Come right up." She said and walked away.

"A sandwich and a coke? What's up?" Kisame said and looked at the girl. It made him worry even more. The mission and now Sakura that just ordered a sandwich.

Itachi moved a little in his chair. It was last night he was thinking about. He kissed her but she seemed to ignore it. She liked it, otherwise she wouldn't have kissed back. But why the change so suddenly. First the visit to a person. How could she already know someone we just arrived and now the food. What with that? He looked at her, she looked back and gave him a forced smile.

Why is he looking like that. Is it about the mission he will give me, or about last night. Damm I wish it never happened. I like it but it wasn't him I thought about while kissing him. It was that strange boy. Come to think of it he kinda looks like the boy. Maybe he has an younger brother. Should I ask? He never spoke about family, well actually no one, does I don't remember mine, Kisame doesn't like to talk about his, but what about Itachi? Why won't he talk about his?

"Sakura?"

"Sakura!"

Ripped out of her thoughts she looked up. "Yes?" She said and looked at Itachi who looked irritated because she didn't react before.

"I'm sending you on a mission." He said and tossed a map to her. She opened it and saw a picture of a strange looking man. She then looked at the rest that was in the map. There was a little profile about him. She scanned it over. Orochimaru. What a creep. His skin it's so white, and those eyes so ugly like they belong to snake.

All the S- ranked criminals had there so called missions. They needed to take them, if they didn't they would be slaughtered. These mission where mostly to kill ANBU soldiers or hunter nins. But some times it was an assaults on one of there own. Even the S ranked criminals had rules, and the first was that you couldn't kill another. If you did, your name would be placed on the death list. And like it says you will be dead soon.

Orochimaru had killed enough S-ranked criminals to get killed. A lot tried to kill him but never survived the fight. He was to strong, people even told others he was a god and couldn't be killed. But one found out he could and send this mission to Itachi. Itachi and Sakura were both feared by Orochimaru and it would only take one of them to take him down. Itachi decided it was up to Sakura.

"Do you take it?" Itachi asked. It wasn't really a question. Off course she would take it, she had no choice. She nodded and ate her food that the waitress brought a few a minute ago.

"Your on your own. You'll leave first thing in the morning. There's a little map where you can find his hide out." She nodded again but didn't looked up. So I still have time to go see Yumi.

After they paid for the food they left. Sakura didn't said anything after she find out about the mission and Kisame and Itachi weren't really the talking types. For the first time the silence didn't bother her, she was thinking of last night and the boy in her dream.

---------------------------------------

"Sasuke! Sasuke just take a break." Naruto yelled they had run the whole morning. "Sasuke!" He yelled again. But Sasuke didn't looked back and speed up his ran.

"Sasuke!" He yelled again, this time he stopped, but it wasn't because of Naruto. He looked at the big sign. Lurea. Finally made it, now I just have to find Itachi.

"Finally, let's take a break." Naruto said as he leaned his back against a tree. He closed his eyes and enjoyed the sun warming his face.

"Naruto?" Sasuke asked. He opened and searched for Sasuke. After a little scan he found him sitting on a tree branch.

"Yeah." What could he wanted they were in Lurea and finally taking a break.

"Where's Ino?" He asked and looked around. Naruto opened his eyes.

"She was just behind us." He said and started to get the point. If she was behind them why wasn't she her taking a break like the them. Damm, she lost us, Sasuke had the map and I ran after him like crazy. She must have lost us while she was breaking up the camp.

"Damm, it's all your fault." He yelled at Sasuke.

"Why is it my fault?" Sasuke spat back.

"You left in such a hurry. She must have carried you bag too and became to slow then she lost track of us and got lost." He said while re-thinking how they left. It was in such a hurry because Sasuke got furious, he ran after him without thinking of Ino. He thought she followed him. But she didn't and now she got lost.

"We need to go back to find her." Sasuke said and was ready to take off.

"No we don't, first we find a place to stay." Naruto was being smart again, he saw Sasuke's face and smiled a bit Sasuke knew he was right. If she was wounded they at least had a place t nurse her. In a small town like Lurea wasn't a hospital, so it would be foolish to find a wounded nin and then to place to take her to.

"Fine let's go." He said and walked in Lurea.

---------------------------------------

"Naruto………….Sasuke!" She had been calling for hours and her voice hurt from the yelling. She lost them when Sasuke ran of, Naruto vanished behind him and before she got up from packing her bag they were gone without a trace.

"Where are you guy's?" She whispered more to herself then to the ones she tried to find.

She didn't liked to be alone, she had no idea where she was. She always followed Sasuke and Naruto. Sasuke held the map like always as Naruto scanned the area for enemy's. She basically just followed them as a third wheel. She wasn't great in battle and Naruto and Sasuke always needed to safe her. Now she was alone, no one to help her, and she had no idea in which direction they left. She called out again, but like expected no answer. They will noticed your not there, they will come back for you. She needed to think about something that gave her hope. She smiled when she toughed about the kiss, Sasuke cared about her and would find her.

She always loved him, and it broke her heart when Sakura said she loved him too. She felt so guilty for kissing Sasuke. She won, but she knew Sasuke loved Sakura. But then again Sakura was no more, and she was. Maybe he forgot about Sakura, maybe he liked Ino now she was in his team. He didn't liked Sakura when she teamed up with him, and it was the same when she took Sakura's place. She just hoped Sakura didn't left to much damage in Sasuke.

A tear rolled down her face. Sakura look what you made me do. I'm crying because of you, damm all because of you. Why did you have to get sick, why did you have to disappear. More tears came down and she fell on the ground. I miss you Sakura, I miss you so much.

After two years she finally admitted she missed Sakura. She always missed her, at the ceremony she didn't cried. Instead she cursed Sakura. Although they weren't friends anymore, she longed to see the smile of that pink haired girl. She never mend the insults she always yelled at her. It was just a game the price was Sasuke. And even when Sakura was gone she had won. Sasuke loved Sakura, but she didn't cared, she just wanted her friend back. Just like old times. Sasuke could be stolen, she didn't cared she just wanted her friend back.

Darw-Angel:

It sucked, I really hated this chapter I tried to put some SasSak in it but it turned out it couldn't not even some little SakIta. Well things are changing a little in the story and maybe Sakura will kick Orochimaru ass. Hahhah. Well, I don't know I have a lot of ideas what to do with next chapters. Keep reading and please review.
