Decisions of Love. Chapter six Missions.
"The hardest thing in life is to know which bridges to cross and which to burn." -Unknown!
I walked into the house my three inch black lace up high heels clicked while my carnation colored hair swayed behind me, rubbing against my Navy blue crop top and lime green 'booty' shorts. I could feel the stares of my 'team mates.' I didn't bother to acknowledge them instead I brushed them off and started analyzing the task at hand.
The horrid, unpredictable mess this house had become. It looked as if a zoo had been kept here, and they never bothered to pick it up before they left... Or died. Dust coated every inch of the house, if you walked somewhere you would imbed imprints of where you went... I wouldn't be able to escape if it showed them the exact route I took.
I started with the ceiling, I grabbed a broom and got all of the cob webs off of the ceiling and the beautiful crystal Chandelier, this place was very nice but it hadn't been taken care of for the past thirty years, leaving it in inhumanly remains. I tied my bubble gum locks in a pony tail and pinned the rebellious strands that popped out in a side braid and pinned it to the right side of my head.
I started cleaning off the walls with water and a washcloth, they already looked better. The medium yellow started to become visible to the average eye as I cleared away the dirt, dust, and every now and then dried blood. I pondered the History of this house, before coming to a decent conclusion;tonightwhen we go into town I'll ask a civilian.
After an hour of laborious work, the living room was clean and I was half way through the kitchen, Lynx hadn't talked to me but I knew he and team Hebi besides Karin and Juugo were watching me. I'd thrown a kunai at them when I was tired of their stares, it surprised them from the tree perched outside the open kitchen window.
After my little action Suigutsu left, but the other two; Uchiha and Lynx remained and I appeared behind them. "Why are you staring at me... Do you not have anything better to do? Train, leave?" I asked while I stood vertically to the, my left shoulder facing them, while I turned my face to address them.
"I'm not leaving Sakura... Not in tell you prove to me your safe, here." Lynx said while he sent the Uchiha a glance and a glare that held envy and questions in it.
"Well you wouldn't be Satisfied even if I was wrapped in bubble wrap, so you mies well spare yourself and leave." I said in as much of a caring tone I could muster to my ex love, he was starting to irritate me.
"I'll staytonightand leave first thing tomorrow." Lynx said but did not make eye contact with Sakura, or the Uchiha.
"Good." I said before turning my attention back to the matter at hand.
"Answer the question, why were you staring at me!?" Sakura restated her question while her patients decreased by the minute.
"Curiosity... Why are you cleaning?" Sasuke stated and then asked me.
"So we don't spend a week in that! Have you even been inside! That is not a safe living condition." I said before I jumped down through the trees and with my Speed I had worked so long on, I was in front of the house and I walked through the door again. I focus on the Kitchen again, the ceiling and walls had been done and I started on the dust covered wooden cabinets and countertops. I took the plastic cover off of the beautiful wood, sending dust flying everywhere as I coughed to exhale it out of my lungs.
After an long day of cleaning, I had done it, the impossible! I cleaned the whole house and rid it of all the Dust, Cob webs, Spiders, and any dirt. I'd filled three trash bags up of dust and dirt, and one trash bag of old newspapers, I was almost done collecting the Newspapers when I read the title of one. It read:
SLAUGHTER HOUSE. The article was about this house, apparently on New years Eve a murder showed up and slaughtered the whole family over thirty nine years ago. No one knew who the murder was but Sakura had a hunch it was either Oruchimaru or the Akatsuki. She continued to read; the family was the mayor of the town and his young wife, two twin daughters and a seventeen year old daughter.
There was never a reason to why they were murdered or why their bank account was found empty a few days later, but it didn't seem coincidental to Sakura. She threw away the newspaper, deciding not to think much of it, before she trashed all the trash bags in the dumpster down the street.
Karin still hadn't returned, from Shopping and Sakura could only guess the girl forgot the time. Sakura still needed to go shipping herself, and decided she would do that now it still wasn't to late, she hoped a few stores would be open. Sakura walked to her room, smiling a tired smile and held herself in a proud manner, while she glanced at the clean, dust, dirty.. Blood free house.
She changed into faded Black shorts that went two inches above mid-thigh, she liked these shorts aside from her others because they were slightly modest, but also a rebel look and a 'try any thing and I'll kill ya!' message. She switched her green sports bra to a nice pink and black lacy lingerie bra, that matched her panties. She slid a Red crop-top with a black rose design on over her bra, the crop-top stopped a few centimeters above her belly button and loosely hung around her thin stomach in small ruffles, and cascaded to meet her shorts hem in the back.
Sakura played with her hair a few minutes before she straightened the ends, and curled a few strands underneath her hair to give it volume, she slid in to Earrings that dangled only half an inch off her ear, a modest yet rebellious look, Sakura had designed the Earrings herself, she laced drugs into them, she could easily insert the drug into someone's food or drink, in a seduction mission or if they were really pissing her off.
The drug wasn't deadly but it would knock you out for a night ...possibly two. Sakura didn't bother with make-up she gets enough attention as it is, adding more beauty would only draw unwanted men to her. Sasuke had informed them an hour ago that when the sun sets they would go to a local bar and 'gather' information, 'gather' meaning interrogate innocent civilians.
Sakura just wanted to get out a bit, she'd never been to this village so she wanted to shop a little, try the foods, and have fun, this was a Mini vacation for her. She still hadn't opened the Scroll that Lynx delivered to her, nor had she spoken with Lynx for the past few hours. Hopefully he's gone!
*Yeah like he ever leaves!* Sakura's inner roared with furry, that seemed to make the outside Sakura have furry as well.
Sakura shook it off before she grabbed her black lace up shoes and pulled them on her well toned and muscular calfs', she sat on her blue bed sheets while she twirled the scroll between her fingers. She was very lenient to open the scroll, but after a minute of waiting she decided 'What the fuck!'
She slid her small thumb over the rough material, before she dropped the rest of the small scroll, and the paper rolled down wards onto her lap. She held the top with her thumb and index finger while she read through her new mission:
Mission target: Uchiha Sasuke.
Objective: Bring him to Konoha, willingly. Use whatever means possible if it comes down to it, good luck Sakura-chan.
Deadline: Eight months, if this mission is not completed in Eight months kill the Target, if not possible to kill return home.
Additional comments: If he hurts you in any way, come home!
Sighned- Naruto U. Tsuanda, and Hatake Kakashi.
Second Mission.
Akastuki Hunt. If you and your temporary team engage Akatsuki fight with everything you've got. Provide your team with necessary information.
Sakura smirked at these missions, they were perfect for her predicament. She could now own more Akatsuki and bring Uchiha back, she doubted the last one a little but she'd give it her all, and Succeed. She rolled up the Scroll and tucked it into her ninja pouch, which she put back into her travel bag. She didn't think she'd need much protection tonight, if it comes to it she can use Tiajutsu, or Ninjutsu.
She walked out of her room, fingering the hem of her shorts, while not paying attention to the ongoing Arrogant Uchiha heading her way. Her mind was to busy to comprehend everything at the moment. The only thing she could comprehend was how unbalanced she felt, well maybe because she was laying ontop of a slightly inpain and pissed Uchiha.
Sakura rolled off and thanked him before she tried to walked out of the small hallway. Before she was completely standing she was pushed back into her room, and the Uchiha followed her in. "Sakura. We're leaving for the bar in ten minutes, there's two bars to cover. You and I will go to the one that I know has information while the other three will go to the other." Sasuke informed the girl that had tripped again, and again he saved her from falling just this time he stayed upright and held her arm tightly.
"Your clumsy." Sasuke said while he pulled her up.
"No I'm distracted." Sakura said still trying to process the missions, yeah they weren't exactly bad but being out of the village for so long and with a team she didn't trust none the less the repetitive Akatsuki attacks on her. She was in a bad situation, But she was in no situation to just give up and go home, she decided she wouldn't tell Team Hebi she got a mission to be with them, instead she'd stay stoic and act as if nothing changed.
Would it be so bad if... I don't know... We made friends with them... Allies for the time being or... For a while... We could get their lives on track. Her Normaly angry and impractical inner put up good thoughts, Sakura decided to think about those later, tonight she was going to interrogate and shop!
"Why are you distracted?!" Sasuke snarled slightly at the innocent girl, his voice bringing her out of her inner's thoughts.
Or not! God he's so GRUMPY! Her inner ranted before Sakura shut her out.
"O-Oh umm... Nothing, just worried that's all." Sakura cursed herself for stuttering and for dropping the act.
"Stop Acting Sakura. It makes you look... Bipolar." Sasuke said with a smug arua around him and a even smugger smirk settled on his face, after he Saw the carnation color haired girls reaction. Her head shot up and she had a small blush on her cheeksm it sorta complemended her, her eyes wide in surprise before they turned to a small half hearted glare.
"I guess I need more practice, maybe then I'll be as stoic as the infamous Uchiha Sasuke." Sakura said a hint of playfulness in her voice, Sasuke didn't take it so.
"Is that a insult. That's pathetic." Sasuke rasped at her, as her glare intensified.
"No. It was a joke, not everyone's trying to attack you. Just some of us." Sakura said trying again, in a more clear way with a small smile that Sasuke hadn't seen in so long, and Sakura hadn't used sense her last Ramen meal with Naruto and Kakashi-sensi.
The thought of her two team mates made her frown, the smile was there one second and gone the next. "You really do look bipolar... Switching expressions like so." Sasuke said pointing to her pained face.
"Ha... good to know." Sakura said with a fake smile she did so well around enemies, and people she didn't like or when she was irritated.
"I said stop acting." Sasuke said angrily as his ex-team mate, why did she have to use a fake smile, it was stupid he saw right through it. He knew she wanted to be in Konoha with her friends and happy family, but for some unknown reason to himself he couldn't let her go.
He didn't plan on letting her go either. Not in tell he figures out these unknown feelings slowly bubbling inside of him.
