Peacemaker

Brats

"Alright miss Haruno, from now on you're our pet!"

Sakura gave the two in front of her a flat look, all lingering fear disappearing from her. She forgot that they were only kids right now, not their older and much more dangerous adult counterparts. She raised an eyebrow. "Do I seem like animal to you? I'm human. And I am no one's pet." She said in defiance.

Instead of seeming put off by her clear distaste to them, they had the gall to perk up.

"Where are we anyways?" Sakura decided to ask finally realizing that the two in front of them are from the Land of Lightning, and as far as she knew she was in the Land of Fire.

"We're in an inn at Tanzaku Quarters." Kinkaku, the older one she reminded herself, answered.

Taking the information in, Sakura couldn't help but blurt out, "What does two kids have to do at Tanzaku?" But her question was valid considering this area was meant for adults. A gambling and red light district.

"Wow, miss Haruno sure asks a lot, doesn't she?" Ginkaku asked his brother.

"Yeah, too curious for her own good." Kinkaku agreed.

"Though to answer your question, our father has a business meeting, but afterwards he'll probably spend the night with some whore." Ginkaku said the last part a bit too indifferently for Sakura's liking.

"And before you ask, our father is a highly renowned merchant from the Land of Lightning, owning several mining properties as well some business. A very powerful man with ninja of his own under his employ." Kinkaku casually added, but Sakura could see the underlying threat. So you're now stuck with us or something along those lines.

However, completely ignoring the threat Sakura relaxed. She was still in the Land of Fire. "How long have I been out?"

"Almost two days." Kinkaku courtly answered.

Sakura hummed completely ignoring the two's presence as she unwrapped her bandages.

"Oi, what are you doing?" The two asked in unison.

It was kind of endearing how they spoke at the same time, and even moved the same way. It was like they were linked. Not something uncommon when it comes to twins.

"Getting rid of these injuries." Sakura courtly answered extending the same treatment they gave her.

They glanced at each other before fearlessly leaning in closer to her, curiosity written on their faces. If it wasn't for the fact that they were brats they would have qualified as cute, and who was she kidding? Even though they were brats their current behavior was cute.

Both let out an awed noise as her hands began glowing green, and one by one her injuries faded away. It kind of made Sakura smirk a bit, it was nice being able to impress people so easily.

"How did you do that?" Kinkaku asked.

"Medical ninjutsu."

"I've never heard of that before..." GInkaku noted.

"It's rare, I was taught this by my shishou."

"So you're a ninja?" Both asked at the same time.

"Hmm, yeah." Sakura casually answered.

It seemed to made them perk up even more.

"We're ninja too!" Both declared with wide grins.

"Oh?" Sakura raised an eyebrow at the two.

"Uh-huh," Ginkaku nodded, Kinkaku then looked sheepish, "But we've only really practiced Taijutsu."

"That's a start, I bet you two will be very strong ninjas." Sakura sincerely said.

"Really?" Both seemed surprised.

"Yes," Sakura nodded before eyeing the door, "Good luck with becoming ninjas, and thank you for rescuing me. I have to go now though."

Her statement seemed to make a switch inside them turn off. Instead of seeming carefree, they seemed mad.

"You're not going anywhere." Kinkaku said.

"You're our pet, remember?" Ginkaku asked.

"What makes you two think I'd stay?"

"You don't have a choice. We won't let you leave. There's no way you can fight off our ninja guards with chakra exhaustion. Not to mention that they're from the Uchiha clan."

Sakura wanted to curse. She escaped the Senju clan, only to be screwed over by the Uchiha clan.

"You can't just do this!" Sakura yelled at the two without really thinking about it. They were taking the fact that she owed them for saving her too far.

"We can do anything we want!" The two shot back at her.

"Oh, really? All I see you doing is using your father's influence to try and get whatever you want!"

"Shut up, it's none of your business!" They were full on yelling now.

"Hiding behind daddy's influence, aren't you? How pathetic!"

"Shut up or we'll kill you!"

"Don't you mean you'll order someone else to kill me?!"

The two boys paused. Furry written all over their faces. And Sakura knew she crossed a line the moment their banter turned into a yelling showdown.

They glanced at each other, and Sakura could feel that they were communicating without words.

"If that's how you're going to act..." Kinkaku began, "Then we're going to have to discipline you." Ginkaku finished.

Before Sakura could answer there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Kinkaku stated.

Sakura's breath got caught in her throat. Because there, standing right at the door was..."Sasuke..." she whispered to herself.

"My brother and I were just informed that we'd have to escort you two back to the Land of Lightning, and that your father will follow one day later."

No, he wasn't Sasuke, Sakura realized with growing shock as another figure stood next to the boy. Madara Uchiha. She didn't notice how her heart beat sped up, and that she was hyperventilating, not until she felt herself falling forward.

"Miss Haruno?" She heard the twins ask before she passed out, both her chakra exhaustion, the shock of seeing the boy who looked like Sasuke, and seeing Madara Uchiha causing a toll on her.
