Someone asked me to try to write a story with more then one chapter, so here it goes! Also I know this isn't really how he comes back, but I can make it so he comes back how ever I want him to come back. So there!

Chapter One- Finding Out

"I will run 500 laps around Kohona to prove my love for you!" A boy with a childish bowl cut proclaimed.

"Lee stop it." A pink haired girl said. "No running laps for me." But it was to late Lee had already given her a wink, and run off.

"Poor Sakura, she has had to deal with stupid men all day since she was 13."

"Very funny Tenten." Sakura said.

Tenten started laughing, "See I'm used to Lee, also he isn't quite as bad as Naruto." Tenten got up from the bench she was sitting on, put one of her hands in a fist, pointed the other one at Sakura and yelled, "I'm gonna be the future Hokage!"

Sakura started laughing at Tenten's impersonation of Naruto. "He isn't that bad Tenten. Really he's gotten better." Just thinking about her favorite blond haired idiot made her smile turn to a frown. Both of them had left her. She stood up, grabbing the bag of groceries she had put down when she had ran into Tenten and Lee. "Sorry Tenten I have to go. My ice cream is going to melt if I don't get it into the freezer soon." She waved and walked off.

They had really left her. Sasuke had left to go become stronger with the help of Ochimaru, and Naruto had left to become stronger with the help of Jiyara. She was left here in Kohana. She hadn't felt this lonely in a long time. Most of her friends where either enjoying their down time with their cell mates, or training with their cell mates, or going on missions with their cell mates. She couldn't do anything with her cell mates, because they were all gone. Even Kakashi seemed to have just disappeared. She saw him occasionally walking around Kohona, but they never talked. Sure she was training with Tsunade to become a medic nin, but still.

She sighed as she unlocked the door to her apartment. She had moved out of her parents house a while ago, saying that she needed to be out on her own. Now she almost wished she hadn't. She missed her mom's cooking, and her dad's stupid joke making at dinner. "I need to do something." Sakura said to herself out loud. "I need to do anything to get my mind off what's been going on lately."

"Is this what you usually do when you walk into your apartment Sakura? Not notice that someone is sitting on your couch, someone who obviously doesn't belong here. What have I been teaching you over the years?" Sakura turned around, already having gotten out a shuriken. She sighed in relief when she saw it was only Kakashi.

"Thank God it's only you Sensei. You scared me." She turned around and started unloading things on to the counter of her small kitchenette. "Do you want something to eat? Drink? Would you like some tea, I could put on some water right now if you want." She opened a cabinet, taking out a kettle not even waiting for Kakashi's answer.

"Sakura."

Sakura blatantly ignored Kakashi and opened more cabinets. "I'm sorry I only have green tea. I could go ask Ms. Takeheshi if she has any iced tea, it's so hot out because of the summer. So hot, I feel so sorry for people out training in the afternoon. Even with the trees for shade that heat outside it must be horrible. Those poor-"

"Sakura." Kakashi said, with a tone could cut steel. Sakura felt a slight pressure and looked up at Kakashi. "Sakura, they found traces him. In the South Eastern region of Grass country."

Sakura opened her mouth to say something then closed it again. Her eyes started watering. She leaned on the counter to support her weight. She was glad Kakashi had taken his hand off her shoulder, because if her hadn't then she might have fallen under the weight. "Who told you?"

"I can't tell you that Sakura. Your not even supposed to know about the traces of him." Kakashi said.

Sakura walked over to her couch and plopped down. She hung her head, and rested it in the palm of her hands. "Is he okay?"

"I don't know." She felt the weight shift next to next to her. "I'm sorry."

She looked up at him, "What are they going to do when they find him?"

He looked Sakura straight in the eye, and replied calmly, "Do you really want me to tell you what they'll do to him?"

Sakura put her head in her hands again, rubbing her temples. "No. I mean yes. I mean no. I mean... I don't know."

"He'll get Ibiki. If you thought that the first part of the exam was torture then what do you think they'll do to a traitor?"

Sakura started sobbing, "Kakashi, you can't let them do that to him. You can't!"

He put an arm around the shoulders of his student. "I can't do anything to stop them." He took his arm off of her and stood up. "Not that I don't want Sasuke back here. He's a threat to Kohana. Maybe you should pray though that either he doesn't get caught, or Ibiki gets to sick to interrogate him." He went to the door and opened it, but stopped half way through. "I'm not just here to teach Sakura, I'll listen." Before she could say anything, the bearer of bad news left.

Like it so far? I'm so happy, I know where this story is going so it'll be more then one chapter! YAY!
