Sakura sat on her bed, dazed. She had been surprised when Kakashi had talked with her and made her feel a bit better about this whole, fucked-up situation. She slowly got off her bed and began searching for clothes.

"I hate life"

She got out a pair of black training shorts and a dark green shirt that made her eyes sparkle a lighter emerald green. As she was leaving, she grabbed her purse, fully knowing that Kakashi would try to leave the check with her.

To say that it was a beautiful day would be an understatement. The weather was perfect. Warm, but not hot. She walked her way towards the ramen stand while humming to herself.

"Sakura-chan! What are you doing here!"

"Ehh, Naruto! I should have known you'd be here. I'm waiting on Kaka-sensei. He promised me some ramen."
"Whaaa! You think he'll treat me to some ramen too! Oh yeah! Tsunade-sama wants to see you! I just went to talk to her"

Naruto happily slurped up some ramen, and speckles of soup hit Sakura on the face.

"Dumb a—"

"Sakura, a lady should never curse like that"

Sakura rubbed her head gingerly as she saw Kakashi sitting next to her.

"Just get me some ramen, old-timer."

Kakashi grimaced and ordered them ramen.

'Old-timer? Sigh'

The three of them were eating when a chuunin interrupted their meal.

"Haruno Sakura?"

"What do you want, punk?"

"Uhh…Tsunade-sama requests your presence at once"

Sakura groaned and kicked the stool in frustration. Without a word, she waved to Kakashi and Naruto and started walking towards the tower.

"Neh, Kakashi-sensei…I think something is wrong with Sakura-chan"

"Well you see Naruto…that's the problem with women. They always have mood swings. It's best to just get out of her way"

She put her hands in her pockets and watched the dust come up because of her dragging feet. She looked up and saw Sasuke, but as soon as they made eye contact Sasuke started walking away faster.

'Yeah? Fuck you too'

She kept going in a worse mood than ever. When she reached Tsunade's office, she was in the worst mood of the year, and it got worse.

"Sakura, I'm assigning you on a mission. You leave tomorrow at 12. You'll be going with your old team. Details are with Kakashi."

Sakura didn't even say anything, but began walking out.

"Sakura? Are you okay?"

"Hai, shishou"

Before Tsunade could say anything, Sakura was gone.

The team left at 3 P.M. thanks to Kakashi's tardiness. Sakura twirled a kunai around without paying much attention to the boys. She thought of the team she was working with at the moment, her old team. It had to be one of the most effective teams around. Kakashi was one of the elite ninja, the great copycat ninja. Naruto was the dedicated, unyielding ninja with the power of the nine-tailed demon fox. Sasuke was the last remaining heir of the power of the Uchiha's Sharingan. And to everyone's amazement, Sakura was one of the top medics in all of Konoha, only exceeded by Tsunade and Shizune. Her chakra control was unmatched and she had changed completely from the young genin she once was.

Their mission was simple. Go undercover into three different events/parties, extract information on who murdered Daisuke, an important informant of Konoha, and kill the people who were responsible. Mist ninjas were suspected to be involved.

Sakura sensed the incoming chakra before anyone else.

"EVERYONE SCATTER"

She quickly threw herself on the ground to make small scratches all over and began to force herself to cry. Alarmed, Sasuke tried to go and help her but was stopped by Kakashi. He watched in horror as three ninjas surrounded Sakura.

"Hello, dear. Might I ask if you have seen any ninjas around?" said the nearest ninja.

Sasuke then noticed that Sakura had transformed herself to take on the appearance of an ordinary civilian.

"The—They pushed me to the ground and threatened to kill me if I tell you…you are the ninjas of the Mist, are you not?"

More tears slipped from Sakura's eyes.

"Yes, we were ordered to assassinate them. Don't worry, we'll keep you safe," said another ninja with a smile that only meant one thing.

He approached Sakura, extending a hand.

"Thank yo—oh! Is that them?"

Sakura shrieked and pointed in the opposite direction. The three ninjas faced the direction she pointed, bewildered.

"It was just a rabb—"

Three senbon needles found their way into each ninja.

"You guys clean up"

Before Kakashi, Naruto, or Sasuke could come out, Sakura was already walking away.

I think I'm going to discontinue this? I feel like it's not really that great=/
