Anna's POV

I sigh as I walk into the village.

"Anna, guess who we just saw." Izumo says to me excitedly.

"Who?" I ask him.

"Naruto and Jiraiya." Kotesu says to me and I look in their direction shocked.

"Which road?" I ask them seriously.

"Right." They both say to me and I grin.

"Thanks." I say and I run down that road and I sense Naruto in front of me a ways ahead and jump on his back surprising him. "Naruto!" I say hugging him and he laughs.

"Anna!" He cheers.

"Anna, where the hell have you been? You only appear once 6 months ago, you and Kakashi-Sensei have been gone." Sakura asks me and I grin holding up a peace sign.

"Sensei has been training me the past 3 years." I say and I sense shock from Naruto and Sakura.

"Seriously?" Naruto asks as he sets me down.

"Yeah." I say to him and we head to the Hokage office.

"Anna." Tsunade says to me annoyed.

I give her a closed eyed smile. "Hey Tsunade, been a while." I say to her.

"Yeah, now apologize." Tsunade orders me.

"No." I say to her with a snort of annoyance.

"This is still going on?" Sakura asks with a sweat drop. 

"Yeah." Me and Tsunade say to her and I just shrug and head to the window.

"Kakashi came by earlier, said your training was done, I hope it was successful." Tsunade grumbles to me and I just smile.

"Yep, I bet I could beat Lee now." I say with a grin. 

Tsunade talks to Naruto and Jiraiya while I sit there beaming happily when Shikamaru and Temari come in.

"Temari, Shikamaru, look what the cat dragged in."  Sakura says to them.

"Is that? It is, Naruto." Shikamaru says to him shocked and I pout.

"What am I? Chopped liver?" I ask with a small pout.

"We saw you six months ago." Shikamaru says to me and I just pout.

"So rude." I say rolling my eyes.

"Wait, so does this mean, we're fighting you Shikamaru?" Naruto asks him.

"No, you won't find your opponent in here, check out there." Tsunade says to him.

I open the window and I climb out to sense Sensei. "How did you get here so fast?" I ask him and he chuckles amused.

"Kakashi-Sensei." Naruto says shocked.

"My, Naruto, you've grown." Kakashi says to him.

The two talk and I roll my eyes at Kakashi's glee of a new perverted book.

"Anna, you should be more enthusiastic about this." Kakashi says to me and I just raise an eyebrow.

"Not really." I say and I climb back inside.

"Wait, so am I fighting you Sensei?" Naruto asks him as he comes back inside.

"Well, your partially right, I'm fighting, the three of you." Kakashi says to me, Sakura and Naruto.

"Really?" Naruto asks him shocked. "Wait, right now?" Naruto asks him.

"Your right, you just got back, your tired, you should take a rest, well, ja ne." Kakashi says and then he's gone.

"That bastard." I say and I walk to the door.

"I wonder where he went." Tsunade says wondering.

"He went to go read that new book." I say to her with a shrug.

"Oh, Anna, stay here." Tsunade says to me and I groan.

"Damn it." I say and I fall back while the others leave.

"You didn't accept your Jonin vest before you left with Kakashi again, Gaara put in a really good word for you." Tsunade says to me and I raise an eyebrow.

"I'm Jonin?" I ask her.

"Yes, you and Neji did save Gaara and Fuu in the last Chunin Exam, he said you both were Jonin material." Tsunade says to me as she walks over and hands me a vest. "You have grown up a lot Anna, its surprising to see how well you filled out, I'm sure Kakashi had a few lewd thoughts while training you." Tsunade comments and I smirk.

"I kicked his ass before he even tried." I say and she laughs.

"Well, go catch up to the others." Tsunade says to me and I nod.

I head after them while sealing the vest in a scroll.

"Anna, how have you been by the way?" Naruto asks me with a warm feeling.

"I've been good, I trained with Kakashi the past 3 years and got super strong, I bet I could beat you in a spar with Nin-Jutsu Naruto with how confident I am." I say to him with a grin.

"Not a chance." Naruto says to me challengingly.

I grin with a challenging look. "There is a chance." I say to him.

Naruto falls back to talk with Temari and Shikamaru.

After a while, we're standing at the meet up spot, waiting for Sensei, yet again, like always.

I sit on the fencing, bored. "Can he get here already? I'm so bored!" I complain.

"He's always late." Sakura says to me.

I just groan in annoyance as I jump down. "This is such a pain, I hate waiting." I say to her.

I sit down and Kakashi gets here.

"FINALLY!" Naruto yells at him. "YOUR SO LATE!" Naruto yells at him.

"I got lost on the path of life." Kakashi says to us with a nervous tone.

I cross my arms over my chest as I get up. "Really now?" I ask him and he chuckles nervously and we head to the old training grounds where our first test was.

They reminisce and I just wait for the test to start and once it does, I jump back up into a tree, holding the branch above me.

I sense Kakashi's moves as Naruto and Sakura fight him and I locate him in the ground and I jump out of the tree with a flip and I land a crushing kick to the ground, sending him flying up out of the ground and I hit him with a water bullet Jutsu and he crashes into the forest.

"Nice going Anna." Sakura says to me and I just smile and we head after our Sensei.

I sense something ahead and I walk right through Kakashi's Gen-Jutsu, not a care about it.

"Anna." I hear Sasuke's voice call out to me and I roll my eyes.

"Yeah no, doesn't work Sensei, you can screw yourself in your masturbation corner." I say biting my lip, drawing blood and the sounds wear off.

I smile as I walk with Sakura and Naruto.

"Are you taking this seriously?" Sakura asks me.

"Yes." I say to her with a simple shrug.

Multiple things happen until Naruto comes up with a plan and we defeat Kakashi.

"We beat you Sensei." I say to him grinning.

"So you did." Kakashi says to us, Tsunade comes out, announces us as Team 7 and I finally get to go home to my apartment.

The Next Day

"Say what?" I ask seriously as I place my hand on Tsunade's desk.

"Gaara the Kazekage, has been captured by the Akatsuki." Tsunade says to me in a grave tone.

I growl. "I'm gonna kill those sons a bitches if they even lay a hand on him, I'll kill them all." I mutter as I push past Kakashi and out the door, on a war path.

"Anna, you have to wait for a plan of action." Kakashi says to me.

"No, I'm not waiting for that Kakashi-Sensei, I already left those siblings once with out a goodbye and I'm not leaving Gaara in the hands of that damn Akatsuki, he's gonna die and I'm not gonna allow that, so either let me continue on my war path and not get hurt, or get neutered getting in my way." I say to Kakashi and he immediately moves out of the way.

"Ok, calm down." Kakashi says to me nervously.

I head to the gates and Izumo and Kotesu immediately get out of the way at the furious black aura around me.

"Ok then, I wonder what crawled into her breakfast." Kotesu asks nervously.

"I don't know, but stay out of her way." Izumo says to him.

I make a three days journey to the sand in 1 day, clearly pissed as I push Baki aside as I enter the Hidden Sand.

"Anna." Baki says shocked.

"Where the hell is Kankuro?" I ask him.

"The infirmary." Baki says to me and I nod and head there and I shoulder past the old couple and the doctors.

"Who is this?" The old lady asks.

"This is Anna Ward, she has a very hot temper." Baki says to her.

I just grunt and I walk over to Kankuro.

"She is a childhood friend of the Sand Siblings, she's very protective of them." Baki says to her again.

I rest my hand on his forehead and he's burning up severely and I tch, angrily. "What the hell happened to Gaara and Kankuro?" I ask in a commanding tone.

"Kankuro went after Gaara after he was capture by a bombs expert and another Akatsuki member, Kankuro was poisoned and Gaara is gone." Baki says to me and a fierce look appears in my eyes.

"And what the hell were the rest of you doing? Gawking?" I ask them.

"No, Lord Kazekage told us to stand down and let him handle it." Baki says to me and I growl.

"Of course he did, that's Gaara for you, he wants to protect you, but how is he gonna do that when they capture him? Kankuro is a puppet Master, Gaara is a Jinchuriki, if your insane then go ahead and stand down, that's fine, totally fine, but I'm gonna rip you limb from if Gaara and Kankuro go to sleep forever and I'll enjoy every second of it." I say and he gets very nervous at that.

"Ok, now hold up a minute here, you can't go around giving threats like that." The old woman says to me and I glare in her direction. "You aren't even from the Hidden Sand Village." She says to me.

"I was born here and then kicked out at five because someone threatened my parents and me, if you have a damn problem with the way I'm acting, go fuck yourself because Kankuro, Gaara and Temari are my friends, I don't give a damn on how your gonna try an stop me, because you sure as hell don't have a way to capture me and keep me down." I say to her with a low growl.

"Don't speak to me like that you incompetent child." The old bag says to me.

"I will speak to whoever I want, however I want, I only do what I can to protect those who are dear to me, I will screw everyone to hell to protect them." I say to her and I sense shock from her and the old guy. "Now, which way did you find Kankuro?" I ask Baki.

He gives me the coordinates and I nod.

"You guys focus on trying to save Kankuro, I'm gonna see if I can't do anything to find Gaara." I say to them.

"Right, thank you Anna." Baki says to me and I nod and head out of the room.

I head to the roof and I close my eyes so sand doesn't get in them again.

I summon scouting foxes that I trained since they were pups to track. I pull out something of Gaara's from my pouch as I run my fingers along it, sadly.

"Anna." Bell says to me as she rubs her head against my leg.

"What's wrong?" Shiro asks me.

"Gaara has been captured by the Akatsuki, see if you can't find this scent and track it, once you find it, report back to Fox Canyon, then tell Legacy to summon you here." I say to them as I bend down, letting them sniff the sand in the jar. 

They can track Chakra, not scent, they can find any trace of chakra, easily and track it back to where that main chakra source is.

"Alright, we've got it." Aka says to me and I nod.

"Then go, but be careful, I don't know what's on the way." I say to the five of them.

"Right." They say and take off running and a fast speed.

I hold the small jar in my hands and I frown sadly as I sit on the roof, where me and Gaara would always sit at night when we were kids.

I sigh sadly as I look up towards the sky, remembering how he would always explain what the nights looked like.

Two days later 

I sit in Kankuro's room, very worried since he seems to only be getting worse.

Sakura comes in nd I look up at her shocked and she gets to work on Kankuro while me and Temari are worried messes, but don't show it, obviously.

I sense the old bag go for Kakashi and I stop her in a split second. "I already gave you a warning not to stop me from doing what I can, don't make me give you another warning to stay away from my teacher and my team." I say to her in a low tone and she just tchs in annoyance at me while a dead set look appears in my eyes and she stops resisting me and I let her go.

"Thanks Anna." Kakashi says to me with relief and I just nod.

"This kid is something else." The old guy says to the old bag.

I go back over to Kankuro's side and I push him down for Sakura who continues to extract the poison.

"Its gonna be ok Kankuro, just relax, please relax." I say to Kankuro in a soothing voice and he grunts, but he relaxes a lot as me and Temari calm him down.

"Anna, you don't look good right now." Temari says to me.

"I'm worrying the crap out of myself, of course I'm gonna look awful and I'm gonna start to get hysterical, why do you have two brothers who are complete idiots?" I ask her and she hums in agreement.

"You have a point." Temari says to me and Sakura finishes and I release a sigh of relief while Temari's back hits the wall.

I relax a small bit as I sit down, thankful that, that part is over.

"Temari, remind me when both boys are back, to give them a nice long lecture about asking for help." I say to her.

"I'll tell them myself." Temari says to me in relief.

"Ha, maybe it'll stick if we both lecture them." I say to her as an amused smile graces my lips.

"Maybe they'll make us worry less." Temari says to me.

"Yeah right, they'll make our stress levels sky rocket." I say to her.
