"I want to be switched to my old team I said!"
Tsunade arched a perfect brow at the arrogant 20 year old infront of her. It was tru that the Senju's hated the Uchiha even more so than the Hyuga. Personality crash prehaps? Or was it the fact that these damn Uchiha seem to think the world was endebted to them because of their cute little eye tricks? She could tear this kid in half.
"Shutup." She hissed menancingly.
His teeth came together with an audible snap as he felt her aura fill the room. It was laced with alpha athaurity, his basic instics bristled with fear at the look in her eyes. He took a subconcscious step back. He may be Sasuke Uchiha, the next genereation Sanin, but she was the original in the flesh. His eyes would help him put up a good fight but she had 50 years of experience on her side; not to mention she was used to fighting with Uchiha.
"You will do as you are TOLD. I said no, the team has rejected your offer anyways."
She saw his eyes widen in suprise at this, his face took on an angry look and without further questioning he stormed out of the room.
Your in for a big shock Uchiha, I didn't just teach your female team mate medicinal jutsu, surely you've seen what she can do when shes mad. Stupid boy.
Sakura threw her head back and laughed, Naruto sputtered on his Ramen. Shikamaru had just asked the knuckle head ninja wether or not he even knew how to please a woman.
"N-Hinata-chans not like that!"
Kakashi was chuckling on the other side of Naruto.
"All women like to be pleasured Naruto, not just sexually you know. How about paying her a compliment every now and then. Boost her confidence, flowers go a long way. One of the many things my own blonde team mate drilled into my head." Shikamaru grumbled.
Naruto turned thoughtful, and she laughed harder at his thinking face. It looked as if her were constipated.
"Moved on pretty quick Haruno." A deep voice barked behind them.
Sakura froze, her isides turning to ice at the sound of his voice. It had been two weaks since the change, and team 7 now got along better than ever, she spent almost everyday with Naruto, Kakashi, and Shikamaru. They got along fabulously, and everyday she would find herself alone with the shadow ninja, talking about mortality and morality, of their number days and what would happen if they lived past 25. Naruto and Shikamaru had become great friends, mostly because the latter helped the other imrpove by throwing himself into training with him and offering him opinions and suggestions on his battle skills. Being a genius, he was able to tear down Naruto's defensive walls and show him why his suggestions would work and merely that they suited Naruto's fighting capabilities. Whilst he and Kakashi bonded on their own time, their souls were alot alike. Losing their captains as young shinobi, watching comrades fall even after being procliamed a genius and a prodigy and not even being strong enough to defend all they loved.
He was so important to them now, he was their missing link. His warmth helped chase away all these years of mourning that they had done over the same man who dare insult her; standing right behind them.
She turned and glared at him, noticing Shikamaru's arm lazily thrown over the back of her chair. He did this to include her in the conversation of course, not to make a move on her. But before she could defend her honour, someone else stepped in.
"Your loss Uchiha." Shikamaru said bluntly, moving his arm to her shoulders.
She looked at him, dumbfounded but as soon as she saw a wink meant only for her she smiled.
Sasuke glared at Shikamaru before direction his gaze to her.
"You said no to me." He hissed.
"She has every right to you bastard, shes her own woman. Ill stop talking to you after this, I would be careful what you say next." Shikamaru said quietly.
He was talking about her she realized with a start, he had such faith in her ability he didn't doubt for a second she could handle Sasuke on her own.
"Shutup Nara, she was mine first. You don't know her like I do." Sasuke snapped.
She slowly got up from her chair, turned to Sasuke, and frankly slapped the man across the face. She used a teensy bit of chakra, but hey; sometimes you don't know your own strength.
He went flying into a tree across the street, his eyes incredulous as they stared at the young medic infront of him. Her emerald orbs narrowed in distaste at they stared at him.
"I am not yours. You do not own me, nor will you speak to me with such disrespect. My team mates demand the same. Youare a shinobi of the village hidden in the leaves, stop acting like a goddamn child and wake the fuck up. I don't kno what goes on in that thick skull of yours, but YOU dumped ME, YOU left this team. We didn't make you go. YOU took us for granted the entire time. Since we were genin, you never wanted this team. And now you know we're the best you would ever get. Well you can just go fuck yourself you stupid prick." Sakura snarled, losing her cool at the end of her rant. With a huff she turned back to her team.
"Lets go, we have a vacation to get to."
That had felt amazing, she couldn't beleive that she not only hit Sasuke, but she damn well put him in his place without hesitating. Social humiliation would make an honest person out of anyone. She just hoped it applied to him, or else he would find himself in a world of hurt. Tsunade style.
Speaking of the Godaime Hokage, that beautiful woman had done for them the kindest thing in the world.
Flashback.
"It seems the Uchiha has put in a request to change back teams." Tsunade said to team 7.
The raven had been in earlier to tell her his request and had left so she could talk to the team privately.
"What?" Sakura said in a low voice.
Kakashi shook his head, while Naruto burst out laughing. Shikamaru however, was studying Sakura's reaction. She saw this out of the corner of her eye, and she wanted to prove that she had moved on.
"Tell that TEME we say NO." She snapped.
Tsunade smirked at her apprentice. She had rasied a fine young woman indeed.
"I will, though I'm sure he'll go on a rampage. Now I know I told you no missions for 7 weeks, but im going to send you away anyways. Theres a small island I send emotionally distraught teams to for weeks at a time to relax and bond and rebuild their relationships. Im sending yours, and Kurenais team there. Ever since that poor woman fought in the war she hasn't been the same."
Shikamaru stiffened, and was about to open his mouth when the Hokage flicked her wrist impatiently.
"Sautobi-kun will be watched by none other than myself and Shizune. Well mostly Shizune. She is in capable hands Nara-san."
"I was going to suggest my mother, she would have beat me if I didn't at least throw her name out there."
Sakura watched him with curious eyes. She knew he visited Kurenai often, but she often wondered about his relationship with her son Sarutobi. Seeing him protective... well it was just another attractive trait for her.
"You are dismissed team 7. I will let the Uchiha know your descision, you may want to get out of town before he finds you. Lunch is on me at Ichirakus, just for you Naruto. Consider this whole thing a congradulations on your success as a new team." Tsunade smiled at them.
End of flashback.
After each going home as grabbing their packs packed for a week, and meeting Kurenais team at the gate they headed off; all the while her eyes were locked on the shadow user that walked ifront of had a funny feeling that this next week was going to be ... interesting to say the least.
Suddenly his eyes met hers over his shoulder, and she diliberately met his stare. She blushed when he smirked at her, before turning back to Naruto who was prattling on about camp fires and fishing.
The way her heart skipped was a novelty to her, his eyes did sinful things to her heart...
Oh yes, this week was sure to bring a mirad of surpises her way. And for once, she feared none of the unexpected.
So. Another chapter, another twist. Looks like you guys lucked out. I threw my back out, right at the top of my spine. Oh yay. So im bedridden fot the next 4 days, my laptop is my only source of comfort now. Sigh. So I hope you enjoy this chapter, and many to come. MUCH LOVE.
