"Kakashi! Dammit Kakashi open this door you lazy piece of…" BAM BAM BAM… "Kakashi!"

One onyx eye opened in irritation as the exhausted ninja tried to process just who the hell was waking him up so rudely.

"KAKASHI!" A high-pitched screech sounded outside his door. 'Damn, Tsunade' He thought to himself as he hoisted himself out of bed.

"Coming!" He shouted cheerfully only to smirk when a disgruntled scream met his ears. Oh yea, she was going to kill him. Once out of bed, he adjusted his loose cotton pants to a more comfortable position and slowly sauntered over to the door. Opening it just a crack, he smirked at his Hokage.

"What the hell has been taking you so long?" The angry blonde woman pushed past him in a flurry.

"Well just come on in." Kakashi sarcastically mumbled. He glanced at his leader and realized that she looked desperate. Something was definitely wrong, but why would she come to him when she had countless awake ninja at the wave of her hand. "Hokage-sama what's going on?" He asked calmly. The usually strong Hokage looked like she was about to fly apart any minute.

"It's Sakura." She simply stated, and surprisingly to Kakashi, his stomach lurched. "When I came into my office this morning she was underneath my desk crying. She was bruised and bloody and she didn't even recognize me when I called out to her. She just fought blindly. I'm afraid her body is in some type of shock that won't allow her to snap back to reality. As far as I know any physical touch is perceived to still be whoever did this to her. She keeps screaming for whoever it is to stop touching her. I've tried all I can to snap her out of it, but no medical jutsu I know has helped." Tsunade was crying at this point, but she fixed a steely gaze on Kakashi. "Kakashi, I need you to look over her while she's like this. I can't have her hurting herself or others while she's like this. I gave her some sedative so at least she'll sit calmly enough to stop crying and screaming, but…well you'll see in a minute." The distressed woman walked out of his apartment to signal to someone to come up.

Kakashi stared wide-eyed as they brought his former student into his house. Her body was peacefully cradled by Iruka Sensei but the look in her eyes was that of a wild animal. She kept glancing back and forth between her former sensei and Iruka. It appeared as if she was trying to will her body back into fight mode. Apparently not even the sedative could numb her mind.

"Hokage-sama with all due respect, how am I supposed to watch over her?" The copy nin grimaced as Sakura flailed out in a unwillingly lazy strike at Iruka. The poor man just grimaced as he secured a hold on the girl once again. "Sorry Iruka, you can put her in my bed." Kakashi said without a second thought. He ran a hand through his unruly silver hair. Tsunade was studying him as he watched the man the beautiful girl on his bed.

"Kakashi, I trust you to do this job for me more than I trust any of the other Jounin in this village. She knows you, she trusts you. I want you to be there when she snaps out of it so she's not utterly terrified." Tsunade began to ramble. "Kakashi." She firmly snapped herself out of her tirade of words. "Watch over her." Her amber eyes bored into his as she drove her words home. Then, as quickly as this had been dropped into his lap, the Hokage and her Nin were gone. Sighing, he put both of his hand in his hair and massaged lightly. He looked around his formerly chaotic kitchen and realized that he had nothing to feed her if she was to come to her senses. 'Fuck' He growled inwardly. He didn't want to leave her alone nor did he want to go without food. 'Aha! Pakkun!' He nearly smacked his own face in recognition of his stupidity. He quickly pulled a kunai from his pocket and slashed his finger summoning his ninken.

"What do you want now Kakashi?" The little dog grumbled. He was a grumpy dog by nature but Kakashi just seemed to always bring out the worst in him.

"Pakkun, I need you to watch over Sakura while I'm gone."

"What have you done to the pup now?" The little dog took a tentative sniff. "Wait, no longer a pup is she?" He directed the question to his master. Kakashi smiled. It was true, Sakura was a ripe old age of twenty one. 'Even if she was old she'd still be beautiful' He let the thought slip out into his mind before the realization hit him. 'When the fuck did I begin thinking of Sakura as beautiful? It's as if I'm talking about a woman, not my former student.' Pakkun observed his inner battle with amusement. "You're going to have trouble with this one Kakashi." Chuckled the pug. He sauntered off into Kakashi's room with no further protestation. Satisfied Kakashi disappeared in a cloud of smoke to the grocery store.

Poor Pakkun however, had apparently bitten off more than he could chew. Sakura could see him, but obviously could not make out what he was in reality. The only thing she could see was him. Every time Pakkun moved, she would cry out in agony. It really confused the dog to no end. He actually like Sakura for the brief times he'd seen her and he was pretty confident that she liked him to, but here she was acting like a dog that had been beaten too much to trust a human anymore. It worried the little beast. Deciding against watching her struggle with her own twisted mind and not doing anything to simply soothe the girl, Pakkun jumped onto the bed and scooted towards her on his belly. Think dog that just got into a very big trashcan and tore it to shreds and is now crawling on his belly in submission to you to say sorry This type of movement didn't seem to bother Sakura as much as him directly moving did so he took it as a clue to continue. He got as far as her right hand before she whimpered making him stop and settle down. He pushed his little warm body against her thigh and settled down for a nap, vaguely aware of a small hand caressing his back.

When Kakashi returned home, he knew something had happened. He no longer felt the hatred in the air that he'd felt when Sakura had first been brought in by her friends that she couldn't even distinguish from her mystery enemy. Quietly, he tiptoed to the door that connected his kitchen to his room and peered in. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw a much more content Sakura calmly stroking a very satisfied pug. Trust Pakkun to bring her back. 'Women, they just can't resist the urge to pet.' He chuckled to himself. The sudden noise startled Sakura who began to look around with that scared look again. He rushed to her side faster then she had time to react. He pulled her to him in an unusual act of protectiveness and whispered into her hair. "I'm here, I won't leave you."

"Ka…Kakashi?" Sakura whimpered her voice breaking. Then, she went limp in his arms. She had passed out.

"Well Kakashi, good luck." Pakkun said sincerely as he disappeared to rejoin his family. The uncovered eye swept over the pink hair beauty in his arms and he sighed. Good luck indeed
