Chapter One: The Mission
Author: JazzyBell
Genre: Hurt/Comfort, Angst, etc.

Sakura glanced around the office of the Hokage wondering where Naruto and Sasuke were and why only her sensei was there. It was odd since under normal circumstances he was always the last to arrive. She supposed her puzzlement showed on her face since the Lady Hokage addressed it immediately.
“This is a mission only for the two of you. I’m giving you a choice as to whether or not you will accept it since it will put you in a position that could possibly change the dynamics of your teamwork forever.”
Sakura glanced at Kakashi-sensei whose body tensed suddenly with the woman’s words. She supposed it would since Kakashi had been drilling into them the importance of teamwork. It was something her team was still working on and anything that could set them back with the volatile relationship between Sasuke and Naruto. She was certain a setback was something that he wouldn’t want to risk.
“A woman came to me a few weeks ago concerning her daughter. She’s gone missing.” Sakura immediately wondered if the girl had run away but the Hokage’s next words shot down her theory. “This is not the first instance of something like this happening in her village. Girls between the ages of 9 and 13 have been disappearing out of the village for months now.”
Sakura frowned wondering how she and Kakashi investigating a kidnapping situation would affect their teamwork.
“I sent out a team and they have located some of the missing children. They were sold to a brothel that caters to men who like younger girls.” Sakura gasped earning a look of disapproval from the woman. Sakura immediately straightened her back and determined she would not say another word. “I want you, Sakura Haruno to allow yourself to be captured so that you may infiltrate the operation.” Sakura froze unable to reply. Thankfully her sensei took that moment to speak up. The man was good for some things.
“Since we know where the base of operations is why can’t we use force to go in and get the girls out?”
“We don’t know if this is the base of operations or merely a part of it. That’s why we need Sakura to go in and gather as much information as possible before we make any extractions.”
“And where do I come in?”
“The way things work with new girls is that an auction occurs. Whoever makes the highest bid on the girl is her main customer. Anyone else that wants to…use her…has to go through them first.”
“That hardly seems the way to make any money.” Kakashi mused.
“It is when said ‘main customer’ has to pay a hefty monthly fee to keep his girl untouched.”
“Ah.” Kakashi said.
“So…Kakashi-sensei is to bid on me.” A part of Sakura relaxed at this bit of information since she knew that no hard would come to her as long as she was with her sensei.
“He is. However, that doesn’t mean that the two of you won’t be watched. In fact, I know you will be so you will be expected to act accordingly.”
Act…accordingly? Did she mean that she’d have to….
“Lady Tsunade, she’s just twelve.” If they were talking about something else she would have said that she was almost thirteen but they weren’t. As it was she couldn’t breathe nor could she make a sound. She couldn’t even think.
“I know that, but someone has to do it.”
“Have you asked—“
“The most suitable candidates for the mission would either be you and Sakura or Gai and Tenten.”
Kakashi mulled that over in his head. The other two kunoichi close to this age rage was a Yamanaka and a Hyuuga. There was no way the clans would allow such a thing—at least not at this age. So that left…
Kakashi flinched at the other choice. It wasn’t that he didn’t think Gai wouldn’t be able to do it but something like this would probably damage the man beyond repair. As much as the man exasperated him he would protect him from as much as he possibly could. As reluctant as he was to admit it…he was a friend. Kakashi glanced over at Sakura to see she had turned into stone. Inwardly he sighed. This really wasn’t going to be his day. “What if you sent me with…Tenten was her name right?” It made sense to send to virtual strangers on the mission so that when they came home things would be easier to deal with since avoidance would be possible.
The Hokage answered her question by looking at Sakura, “Sakura how would you feel about going on this mission with Gai?” The command in the older woman’s voice broke Sakura out of her daze and caused her to answer promptly.
“I wouldn’t want to do it.”
“From what I gather you wouldn’t want to do it at all.”
“This is true. I wouldn’t, but if you sent me on a mission of this nature…I wouldn’t come back as scarred if it was with someone I knew. Someone I trusted.”
Tsunade turned back to Kakashi and spread her hands open as if to say ‘See’. “I picked the two of you first because Haruno is a smart girl. I know she has the ability to handle this. And you, Kakashi, are a man with a lot of scars.”
‘What’s one more?’ went unspoken.
“The two of you can deal with this better than the others.”
“I have no problem with this mission,” Kakashi lied, “as long as Sakura doesn’t.” He expected her to back out of it but sometimes Sakura had the bad habit of surprising him. Why couldn’t she surprise him by showing some actual ninja skills?
“I have no problem with this mission, Hokage-sama.”
She didn’t know where the words came from. Maybe she angry that Kakashi had the ‘anyone but Sakura attitude’ or maybe she just wanted to prove to her sensei that she could do it since it was obvious that he didn’t think she could. It was, admittedly, a foolish reason to accept a mission. However, for some reason she sensed that her sensei did not want the other man to go on the mission. She had met Gai sensei once at the chunnin exams. The man was all different kinds of disturbing. She had to admit though his disposition was sunny. She couldn’t imagine him doing something like this with his student. Perhaps that was why Kakashi-sensei was so willing to volunteer. Maybe they were friends.
Or maybe he was just the filthy pervert she always thought he was.
There was one that that she knew for certain was that she there was logic behind the Hokage’s decision. And maybe she was a bit flattered to believe that the Hokage thought she was capable of this mission.
And maybe she was only thinking about any of this to keep herself from panicking.
What had she just done?
