Hey well I spotted a mistake in the previous chapter…you see I accidentally said Kakashi was twenty nine years old when he should be twenty five. I'm sorry for the mistake but please remember he is only twenty-five! :] (Gomen ne Kakashi-san!) (Teehee…decided to make the poor guy a tad bit younger xD)

Sorry for the lateness I hope you enjoy!

Chapter four: Troubled Morons

"I hate Konoha…" Sakura sighed as she sat through her last period of the day. She knew very well that Tsunade would punch her into next week if she even thought of fighting but…her whole body itched to start one.

"Alright class History is finished for the day! Make sure you read chapters four and five in your text books! Oh and the usual people plus Sakura need to go see Kakashi-sensei before you go home!" Sakura brought her head up from her desk to lightly glare at Jiraiya-sensei.

"Why the hell do I always have to see that masked freak," The pinkette shoved her books into her messenger bag before slinging it over her shoulder and walking out of class. Jade orbs narrowed when a broad shoulder touched her arm.

"Hey Sakura-chan! Shall I walk you to Kakashi-sensei's room?" Sakura closed her eyes and her vein popped once the blonde boy's arm snaked its way around her waist.

"Uzumaki…you have one second before I literally rip your arm off," Naruto gulped and immediately removed his arm though he stayed close to the irate girl.

"I ain't staying in this hellhole," Sakura smirked before shoving Naruto away from her. She could see Kakashi waving to them a few feet away and she stretched her legs a little before cracking her neck. Kakashi was a little confused by the wicked smile he was getting from his female charge…

"What is she-" Before Kakashi could finish his sentence the pinkette sped past him with an impressive amount of speed. He blinked once and she was already jumping out of the first window she could get to.

"Why is my life cursed with these adorable children?" Kakashi sighed before scratching his neck and telling Naruto to wait with the others while he looks for Sakura.

Naruto watched his sensei lazily walking through the corridors. He was confused and scratched the back of his head. "Meh…free time for us!" The blonde boy grinned and ran into the classroom to inform the others.

Sakura inwardly laughed at her sensei's bewildered face as she jumped out of the closest two storey window. Once she reached the ground she broke into a sprint to get as far away from the damned school as fast as she could. Once she was at a considerable distance she slowed down to a walk, observing her surroundings closely.

"Huh…there's a park here…might as well hang here for now," The pink haired delinquent walked farther into the park, looking for a spot without too many people. While she was looking around she heard a shriek and her eyes narrowed a little.

"Hm? Seems like a couple of idiots are having some fun," A wicked smirk broke out on her lips as she shoved her hands into her skirt pockets and lazily searched for her 'entertainment of the day'.

"Hey pass the bitch to me!" Sakura's ears perked at the sound and so she followed it deeper into the park where the trees began to thicken. She inwardly laughed at the chosen spot…If these guys wanted to hide so badly then they were probably doing something real bad.

"Aw she thought she could be a hero and come to the rescue! Haha!" Sakura hid herself behind a thick tree before observing the scene with sharp emerald orbs. She frowned a little at what she saw.

There were three guys ganging up on a girl that looked to be around her age. The girl's blouse was partially ripped and so was her skirt. The bruises that marred her face told the pinkette they've been at it for a while. One thing that confused Sakura was why the victim wasn't trying to escape the boys.

"None of my business…and this looks like it'll have a foul ending with those perverts," Sakura was disappointed by what she found and with uncaring jade orbs she noiselessly left the scene, not really caring whether the girl escapes or…gets taken advantage of. She wasn't some kind of heroic figure anyway.

Once Sakura was almost out of hearing range the victim screamed out a sentence that stopped the pinkette's movement.

"Do what you will to me…but let this child go! He's only seven years old!" Sakura looked up at the sky peeking through the trees and lazily scratched her neck. The look of utter boredom was still playing on her features.

"A seven year old you say?" Sakura brought her head down and her bangs shadowed her eyes. Sakura grabbed the apple green hair tie around her wrist and fixed her hair into a messy ponytail.

"Unforgivable," Sakura's head snapped up and revealed burning emerald orbs. She was never one to get involved with other peoples business but there were a select number of things that she truly despised in this world. Things that she would never ignore.

Sakura cracked her knuckles and turned back to the direction of the beating…on the bright side…this gave her a reason to…let out her frustration.

"I've been itching to fight all day," With a wicked grin the pinkette sprinted back to the fight and stopped just a few feet from the group.

"What do we have here, hm?" Sakura smiled as she asked the innocent question, the same question that got everyone's attention.

"Get lost pinky! Don't ruin our fun," The tallest boy sneered at Sakura before continuing to rip the girl's blouse off, showing more and more of her bra underneath. Sakura's face scrunched up in disgust.

"Oh I'm not here for the girl so you can keep her…just hand over the child," The boy with a baseball cap glared at the pinkette as he tried to intimidate her by walking so close that their noses were touching.

"Hm…now that I look at you you're pretty sexy huh pinky? Wana play with us too?" The guy shoved Sakura against the nearest tree and began trailing his palm up her leg. Sakura closed her eyes and sighed.

"I'll ask one more time…where's the brat?" Sakura opened icy jade orbs that seemed to pierce straight through the boy. He felt a sudden chill run down his spine but ignored it and proceeded to slowly lift up her skirt.

"Fuck that kid…just sit back and relax babe," Sakura could feel his hand reaching for her backside and shook her head at his stupidity.

"Fools," With that Sakura grabbed his offending hand and pulled him closer to her before slamming her knee harshly against his groin. The poor guy had the wind knocked out of him and was about to double over in pain. Though before he could fall to the ground Sakura immediately grabbed him by the shoulders and followed it up by slamming her knee into his face, knocking him out cold.

"Wasting my time…" Sakura sighed before sourly mumbling a few words under her breath. The pinkette stepped over the unconscious boy and walked straight up to the tallest delinquent, who was currently busy with the girl.

Sakura waited for him to notice her presence and got irritated when he didn't so she tapped him lightly on the shoulder. The boy let out a growl of irritation before turning around…

"Rude bastard," Sakura allowed the boy's face to get oh so friendly with her fist. The amount of strength she placed in that single punch had caused the boy to skid a few feet away from them.

"Ah…s-so s-s-scared…" Sakura narrowed her eyes at the shaking female who had slid down the tree trunk and hid her exposed body. The pinkette scoffed and walked past the girl and walked a little farther into the forest. She kept her ears open for any sign of the child.

"Stop your bloody crying! I will seriously beat you to death," Sakura's head snapped to the left and her vision was filled with red.

"Not if I beat you up first," With that whisper she ran in the direction of the voice and stumbled upon a small child covered in dark bruises and a delinquent laughing at his misfortune. Emerald orbs widened in slight horror at the scene in front of her as a painful memory resurfaced.

"Tsubaki…"

"Tsubaki! Hey you get away from her! Tsubaki!"

"Saku-chan…ugh…"

"Tsubaki…Tsubaki hold on please…"

Sakura shook her head and clenched her shaking fists. The angered female grabbed the troublemaker from the back and slammed him against the nearest tree. The boy was too surprised to say anything as she sent a fist straight to his gut.

"Beating up a child that can't even fight back," She threw an uppercut that created a sickening crack in his jaw.

"Unforgivable!" Sakura turned and took a few steps away from the guy as he slid down against the tree. Though before he touched the ground she turned back around and sent a harsh kick against his chest, definitely cracking a rib or two…maybe three.

"That should be all of them," Sakura stared at her shaking hands and cussed under her breath…she hated this. The pinkette closed her eyes and took in a few deep breaths in order to calm herself down. After a few minutes she let her features ease back into their usual uncaring look.

"N-Nee-chan…" Sakura watched the child's struggle to get up; calculating jade orbs noticed the way his shins gave out as soon as he was standing.

"Hey kid, how the hell did you get into a brawl with these older boys huh?" Sakura crouched down to the little boy's level and watched his big sharp eyes harden a bit.

"They were annoying that nee-chan so I went to save her," Sakura was surprised with his answer and couldn't help but chuckle at the determination burning in his orbs.

"Well next time try to pick on guys your own size, ne?" Sakura gave the boy a genuine grin before ruffling his tousled hair.

"Hm…nee-chan's quite pretty when she laughs…I thought you was just some scary old hag!" A vein popped on Sakura's forehead and she ruffled the kid's hair a bit harder than usual, to which he complained to.

"Itai!" Sakura laughed at the kid and turned around in her crouch, motioning for him to hop on her back.

"C'mon kid let's get you to your hero," Sakura adjusted the kid on her back a little before walking back to the crying girl. Once she was standing in front of her she put the kid down and took off her white polo, leaving her in a fit black tank top. Sakura stood there for a second and watched the girl sobbing into her arms, hair falling out of their ties and bruises sprinkled on every visible part of her skin. A tired sigh left the pinkette's mouth.

"Put this on and take the kid home," Sakura dropped her white polo onto the girls' head and gave the kid a small pat on the head before turning to leave.

"W-wait! T-thank you….s-s-so much for saving me and the child…" Sakura scoffed and glanced back at the girl trying her best to keep up the grateful smile.

"Don't thank me. I didn't do it out of kindness…actually I would have normally just left you alone with those thugs. Now stop your annoying sobbing and tend to that child…he needs more medical care than you do," Sakura sent the girl one last glare before making her way out of the forest.

"E-Either way…I'm grateful,"

-X-

"Damn…those idiots weren't even a challenge…wasted my time,"

Sakura sighed and continued to walk along a random path in the park as she scowled at the ground beneath her. She clenched her teeth when images of the beaten kid from earlier flashed through her mind…which in turn brought up memories she did not want to remember.

"Saku-chan…I'm really glad I met you…"

Sakura's head bowed and her fists clenched in barely suppressed rage.

"Saku-chan look at the lake…isn't it pretty?"

She picked up her pace and began to walk faster as the anger and misery shook her entire being. Her fists itched to throw a good punch…in fact she felt sorry for the first sucker who gets in her way.

"Saku-chan it hurts…but please I don't want you getting hurt too so you need to learn to…"

Sakura was so lost in her pained memories that she didn't notice the hand on her shoulder until she was immediately spun around. Sakura's eyes widened for a split second before they narrowed and began to burn in anger. Without think she sent her fist flying…

"Please Saku-chan learn to control your…temper!"

"Tsubaki…" Sakura instantly came to her senses and stopped her fist just an inch away from a very familiar…masked face? The man behind her fist gave her a nervous chuckle before cautiously putting her fist down for her.

"Sakura I came to drag you back…in peace," The pinkette was confused at first but when she finally came to understand what he meant she immediately snarled and turned on her heel. Kakashi watched with mild concern as the fiery blossom began to storm off in the opposite direction form school.

"Piss off sensei," Sakura used her hand to comb through her short tresses as she walked farther away from her 'sensei'.

"Sakura," Kakashi's voice had lost all humour and gentleness. No matter her shock, she didn't falter in her steps, though she did register the small amount of fear blossoming within her body. If she had to compare that tone of voice she'd say it felt like an army general of some sort had called her name.

"Fuck off old man. I ain't going back to that hell hole," Sakura folded her hands behind her head in a carefree manner, knowing full well that he wasn't going to do jack shit about the situation. No one ever did.

"Haruno, get back here now before I make you. Your choice," Sakura clenched her teeth at the potent taste of fear that began to fill her mouth. Her body stayed firm as she walked on as if without fear…but her mind screamed to escape. She had only felt this kind of fear rarely and it worried her even more that it came from such a lax looking guy like Hatake Kakashi.

But Sakura being Sakura, she wasn't going to take orders from an asshole with a retarded eye patch…

"Shove it up your ass," Just as the last letter of that last word left her lips she felt a barely noticeable gust of wind and her eyes widened in fear. Acting on pure instinct the pinkette immediately dropped into a crouch and watched in horror as a strong fist had been in the place of her head. Without another thought she kicked her leg out in a sweeping attack, following it up with a swift uppercut to the man's chin…all without missing a beat.

"Don't make me laugh…Sakura-chan," Sakura watched with raging orbs as her fist missed their target. She had also seen the quick palm that reached around with insane speed. Before she knew it she felt like a rock had been slammed against the back of her neck.

"Fucking…Bastard-" Sakura couldn't finish her sentence as flashes of pain ran through her body all at once, causing her world to darken in no time.

"I have never hit a girl like that before…" Kakashi sighed as he caught the limp girl in his arms, adjusting her in a way that made it look like he was giving her a piggyback.

"Well…all my little darlings had been all male…until now," Kakashi smiled fondly at the short petal locks that draped over the space between his neck and chin."

Back to school we go Sakura-chan-oh sorry you're unconscious,"

-X-

"Sakura…"

Groggy emerald orbs tried to open but were immediately shut as the pain from her neck throbbed horribly. The pinkette bit back a groan as she tried to ease herself through the ripples of leftover aches but to her dismay it still stung like shit. Memory quickly caught up with Sakura when her mind lingered on the pain and her sharp green orbs snapped open and her body jerked into a sitting position.

"Kakashi…that fucking bastard! I swear…when I get that old man's address I'll-"

"Sakura-chan…I'm right here darling," Sakura's muttered threats were cut short as a slightly nervous Kakashi waved to her, with one hand scratching the back of his neck. Her eye instantly narrowed and without knowing, was already barring her teeth at the man. Kakashi could only sigh at this turn out…but he was expecting it.

"You," Kakashi cleared his throat, acting innocent before signs of a grin showed on his masked features. This confused Sakura.

"Sakura-chan…why don't you say hello to your after school group first, ne?" Sakura's eyes narrowed and still didn't understand what he meant…that is until she looked around and noticed her surrounds. She was in a classroom…with four other guys.

"What the hell…Tsunade never told me anything about this shit!" Sakura jumped off of the desk she was currently situated on and turned to glare at the boys.

"Don't mix me with these shit-heads," Sakura spat her words out harshly before grabbing her bag from the corner and heading for the door. She heard a loud sigh and a few sniggers but didn't turn around.

"Sakura-chan, I'd do what Kaka-sensei says if I were you!" Sakura glanced back at the loudmouthed blonde that she knew as Naruto before turning back to the door.

"Kakashi-sensei isn't really an idiot Haruno-san…no use in unnecessary violence," This time it was that Hyuuga guy and she couldn't help but twitch in annoyance.

"Sakura, we both know I can force you to stay without much effort so please just behave-Oof!" Kakashi acted on instinct and immediately threw his arms up to block the harsh kick sent his way. While holding onto the girl's leg he began to think of how glad he was that she was wearing shorts…

"Don't you ever imply that I am weak!" Kakashi was confused at the blind rage this girl was feeling, and he realised that he had hit a nerve with his careless statement.

Sakura growled before ripping her leg out of his grasp and mustered all of her strength into her right fist before cocking it back, finally letting it fly towards that annoying masked face. Kakashi had to act fast so he used one hand to push back against Sakura's shoulder while the other grabbed onto her oncoming fist…though what he didn't expect was to be dragged back. He soon realised just how strong this teenaged girl really was and he inwardly groaned at the thought of a second Tsunade.

During the whole ordeal the four boys watched in amusement and in awe as they witnessed Gaara's right hand girl in action. Sasuke's calculating gaze fell upon Neji and wasn't surprised when pearl-orbs stared back, both knowing what the other was thinking. Naruto and Shikamaru could only stare at their gang leaders with confusion before going back to the scene at hand.

"Sakura…Sakura calm down. I was just stating a fact and do not, in any way see you as a weak little girl. The fact that you've managed to drag me back with sheer force can justify that…" Kakashi spoke calmly, mumbling the last sentence but thankfully the girl stopped her attack and settled for glaring at him.

"I'm still going to get you back for knocking me out at the park sensei…but right now I want an explanation!" Kakashi rubbed his temples and stared back at the girl with kind eyes.

"This is a little programme created by Tsunade-sama and Jiraiya-sama called No.1 Delinquent," Kakashi gave Sakura a grin as she took in the horribly lame name of their special programme…

"Why the fuck is the name so retarded?" Kakashi chuckled and continued to explain.

"Well long story short…Tsunade and Jiraiya were drunk when they came up with it and well this is basically a programme that takes in the roughest delinquents, helping them breakaway from their past and gradually leading them towards the right path…and all that cheesy stuff," Sakura was dumbfounded…why the hell she was here again, she didn't know.

Sensing her confusion and inability to speak for the moment, Kakashi turned towards the boys and began the introductions.

"Anyway, you're group mates consist of Hyuuga Neji, Uchiha Sasuke, Nara Shikamaru and Uzumaki Naruto…well isn't this going to be fun?" Kakashi crossed his arms as he stared cheerfully at the blossom, waiting for her response.

Sakura looked over the boys and her nose scrunched up a little…

"So…I'm basically stuck with troubled morons?"

"Yep!"

"Fuck,"

-X-
