Darkness Falls

Chapter 7

Konoha Main Gate, 7:50AM

Sakura had imagined multiple scenarios for her first mission outside of the village as she and the rest of Team 7, minus Naruto, approached the main gates with Tazuna in tow. Experiencing life outside of the village. Meeting new and interesting people. Romantic time alone with her Sasuke-kun, and maybe even sharing a kiss with her obsession.

What she wasn't expecting was to come across her blonde team mate being pinned against the wooden post of the main gate, with his mouth being assaulted by a woman with purple hair and a fanned pony tail. Dressed in a tan trench coat and a full body mesh outfit, that miraculously covered her lady bits. The entire scene made her blush at the intimacy the two were showing.

"Anko, what are you doing here?" Kakashi asked in an annoyed tone.

'That's Anko?' Sakura mentally asked in shock, as she looked over the woman who had now broken her kiss from the blonde and was glaring at Kakashi.

'She looks hot!' Inner stated as her outer self looked over the woman. 'I don't know who I should be more jealous of. Naruto-kun for kissing her, or her for kissing Naruto-kun!?'

'Damn it Inner, we're straight and we love Sasuke-kun!' The cherry blossom ranted in her mind. 'I don't care what you think!'

'If we're straight, then why were you curious about kissing Ino?' Inner smirked as she brought up long forgotten memories from before she had ruined her friendship with the blonde girl.

Sakura could only blush at the memory. While she claimed her first kiss would belong to Sasuke, in reality she had already had her first kiss with her best friend at the time nearly four years ago. It was a spur of the moment thing that both girls had tried and had left both of them confused. For her part, Sakura didn't hate it and as such, didn't know what to do afterwards.

"I am here to see my mate off." Anko grinned as she held Naruto close to her body, allowing him to feel her assets as she pressed her chest into his, causing the teen boy to smirk at her antics. "After all, he is going to be gone for so long."

Naruto could only snicker as his Hebi-hime fake pouted.

"Your mate?" Kakashi inquired, confused with her wording.

"It's exactly as it sounds Taida-sensei." Naruto smirked, earning a glare from the masked jonin. He was really starting to hate that nickname the blonde had labeled him with.

"You really need to up your standards, Anko." The silver haired man stated, with a tone of disappointment.

"Let me guess, you would prefer if I were with duck ass over there?" Anko scoffed as she gestured towards where Sasuke was.

"Pfft, like I would want some weak whore." The emo grunted before he felt a sting on his left cheek.

Before anyone could react, Anko had skillfully thrown a kunai at high speeds, just grazing the raven haired boys cheek, drawing a line of blood before she disappeared and appeared behind Sasuke with a second kunai to his neck, a sadistic smile on her face before she leaned in.

"You ought to show more respect to those around you." She whispered. Normally, she would lick the blood to induce more fear, but felt the Uchiha's blood may be as spoiled as him and get her sick. "As it is, I already see over a dozen different ways to kill you right here. All of them extremely painful."

Despite himself, Sasuke shivered in fear of the woman's words.

"Do not threaten my student, Anko." Kakashi glared at the snake mistress as he approached to defend his prized student.
