Getting ready

~Sakura's POV~

Today is the day.

Today is the day for the exchange.

The Uchiha's had called me and filled me in on the plan. But for a weird reason, I feel like something bad will still happen.

I was currently at the Uchiha Mansion, discussing the plan with Faguku-San one last time before having to go. We only had one hour left to get ready. "Now, I want you to stall them for as long as you can. The police will come and arrest them." He said. His eyes were intense. "Now this" he said as he grabbed a case "Is what you're going to exchange with the kidnapper." He pushed it towards me and watching my every move, like a hawk. I slowly opened it and saw money. Thousands and thousands of them, stacked up neatly in small piles. I picked one up and noticed something odd. I looked at Faguku-san with curious eyes. "Yes, you're right. This is fake" he said. I nodded and placed it back in the case, then carefully closing it. "Wouldn't that be dangerous, Faguku-san?" I asked. "What do you mean?" He replied, confused. "If they happen to notice that it was fake, let's say when I hand it over before they give Mikoto-san, wouldn't it be a little...." I said as I struggled to find the word. "A little...?" Faguku-san repeated. "Risky?" I continued. He thought about it. "Yes I would say that it is...risky. But say that they take it, the real money, and kill you and Mikoto. Not only do they have the 1 million, but the Uchiha company will go down. You die, which will have the Haruno business to hold a grudge. And......Mikoto dies too." He replied. I was speechless. Faguku-san was known not only for being the leader of a known company, but for being in the police force and being leader. His plans were quick and clever. But I know that at some plans of his, he needs to sacrifice some things. I guess one on those plans are like this. "And that's why we have Sasori, Sasuke, and Kisame following you. So that if by any chance you are going to be killed, they will come and protect you" he continued and folded his hands in front of him. "I don't need protection, Faguku-San" I said. He raised one of his eyebrows. "Are you saying you can handle a full grown man with a weapon in his hands?" He asked. I nodded. He thought about it. "And if he has a gun?" I was speechless again. I could dodge but I wasn't good with my aiming skills. "Sakura, those men will likely have a gun. You can't fend them of with a measly knife." He said. "Anything can be a sword if you polish it enough" I replied calmly. "Oh?". I smiled and took to another case. I did the same thing he did a few minutes ago: I pushed it to him. He opened it and his eyes went wide. "This is....." He said as he was lost of words. "Hai." I replied. "And you can actually use this?" He asked. "Hai." I repeated. "I'll believe it when I see it. Come with me." He said as he closed the case and was halfway out the door. I stood up and followed him.

We walked down the long halls in utter silence. Then we entered a room. Inside it was were people would likely train to get better at using a weapon. I observed every inch of the room.

Some training dummies in the corner...probably for hand-to-hand combat?
Dummies with holes in em'........obstacle courses..........some targets......probably for guns.....and a shelf full of weapons.........hmm...........interesting

"Come here, Sakura" Faguku-san ordered. We stood by a dummie. He carefully took out my knife and handed it to me. "Show me what you got, Haruno" he said with amusement. I nodded and started slicing.
