Don't Let Me Go
Rated 'M' just in case.
Kakashi and Sakura have never really talked to eachother in years. Just a "hello" on the streets nothing more. Slowly growing apart. When Tsunade sends them both on a Mission They slowly relized how much they missed out on each others lives and how much they truly missed each other. Step by step they grow closer together.

My first ever fan fic ever. please enjoy! ^___^
A messy pink haired girl with a loose bun slumped on her desk. Sleeping on a pile of papers, scattered all throughout her desk. Her mouth parted open al little with a small line of drool seeping out her soft pink lips, landing on one of her patients files forming a small pool of her saliva
Walking down the hall to Sakura's office was a blonde long haired woman with amber eyes forcibly opening the door with an echoing bang.
"I WASN'T SLEEPING!" Sakura spring up, a pen and file in both of her hands. Staring at the amber eyed woman.
"Oh, really? Then what is that wet blob dripping from the folder and from your mouth, hm?" Tsunade glared at the finally awakened pupil raising a brow at her.
"Uh." She started but gave up when she saw her giving a murderous look in her eyes. "Okay, okay. I give up. Sorry Shishou, I had too much paper work and you know how it is. It get's piled up. Then they give you more and more every time. Like they want to See you suffer." Defeated, she put her head down facing towards her lap.
Sighing "yeah, you're right. Just don't become hokage, they do the same thing to you. The job is a pain in the ass, if you ask me." Grumbling at her job
"Hey Shishou?" looking up at her teacher
"Yes?"
"Shouldn't you be doing yourpaper work? Shizune came here ad asked if I had seen you." Leaning backing her chair arms crossed over her chest and legs crossed Sakura gave a smirk to her teacher feeling like she had finally caught Tsunade with her "game"
"Wipe that smile off your face Haruno. You know what? I can give you more work to do." Tapping her finger on her chin as if she was thinking. "I have an Idea! You can get your little butt down to my office and do all my work for me. Don't forget to put a henge." she said with a sweet voice.
"Okay, I'm sorry. I won't tell where you are. I was just wondering how you sneak away from Shizune and where do you go to get some free time?" Wondering about her sensei.
She stared straight into her pupils eyes "There's no way I'll tell anyone where I go even if I'm done being Hokage."
Frowning again "okay shishou." Sakura gave up with a sigh. She really wished she would have told her, she always has been bothered and found by people. It's like they're watching her every move. They always seem to know where the hell she is at every damn moment. Even when she's in a tree outside Konoha, or in her bathroom, or even a place she has never been to before. Someone always seems to know her and need her for something. She tried relaxing at the top of the Hokage monument, but no everyone always seems to know when the hell she is every freakin' minute. She was getting annoyed with all the interruptions and always desperately hard to find a quiet place to relax where no one in the world ever goes to or knows about.
"Hey you, go home." Snapping Sakura out of her peaceful little fantasy "Take a week off. You need it. You look like shit you know."
"Really, You mean it?!"
"About you looking like shit and the week off." she raised a brow "yes." she smiled at her wide eyed pupil "oh, and when you come back you're going on a mission. You need to go out more often. I'll have a partner with you. Don't worry now I'll call you up and tell you about it when your week ends." she reassured her.
Sakura jumped on her pulling her into a giant bear hug and giving a little peck on the cheek before running off and screaming "I LOVE YOU SHISHOU. I promise I'll be ready when I come back. Oh, and I also promise I won't look like shit either." she gave her a wide grin over her shoulder.
Jumping into her warm shower she quickly relaxed and slowly scrubbed herself down, cleaning all the dirt off of her body. After rinsing she jumped out grabbed her towel, dried her off and wrapped it around her. Entering her room she quickly put on her over sized shirt and cute small shorts, plopped onto her bed. Putting her covers over her shoulders and hugging a pillow, she fell into a dreamless sleep.
Sun shinning from the window and shining onto her bed. She slowly awakened. She took a quick shower and changed into her regular outfit, a red shirt and her black shorts, but left out the skirt. She ran down stairs and grabbed a slice of toast and plopped it into her mouth. She looked through her cabinets and refrigerator noticing that everything was empty except Naruto's ramen when he comes over for a visit. 'Damn Naruto, when you come over you always have your food, I live here and have none.'
'Time to go to the market.' on her way there, there were tons of people go to and from their destinations. She bumped into people and a regular "oh, I'm sorry" and "excuse me" just to be polite to all these people.
She noticed a big mop of silver hair, he gave her an eye crease and his trademark "Yo."
She smiled back at him "Hi, Sensei"
They both walked on. Sakura was a little hurt because she never really talked to her sensei. All they did was this, bump into each other in the streets and say "Hi." nothing more. She really hoped she could have a conversation with him like when he talked with Sasuke with training or at least train her. Or like with Naruto, he still talks to him too and he also trained him. She really wished he could have taught her some Genjutsu or a ninjutsu. Something that would make her feel appreciated from him. Hoping she might run into him somewhere and have a conversation like in Ichiraku's or somewhere…different.
'Why am I acting like this, I don't care about him. He never paid any attention to me when I was a genin why would I suddenly care now. '
'Relax Sakura he's not important to you just forget about him, its your week off from work. Relax damn it.'
'You're right I passed Anbu and now currently working as a head medic. The top medic in Konoha, now surpassing the Hokage. I should be proud of myself.' Making herself plaster a smile.
To bad for being pleased with herself.
She clenched her hand into a tight fist and gritted her teeth.
"Damn you." She walked off silently into the streets.
She purchased her food and got home. Fully stocking her refrigerator and cabinets. She lay on her couch and stared at the ceiling 'now what?" continuing to stare at the ceiling, as to find an answer.
Jumping off her couch. Running towards her room she put on her ninja gear. She jumped off her balcony and onto the roofs "this is so much faster."
Finally she reached the training grounds. She stretched and did her warm up, 500 sit ups, 200 push ups and an hour of running non-stop at full speed to get her ready for the mission coming up. After finishing she worked on team combat. She made a clone of herself, making it into Kakashi. Then summoned her friend.
"What do you need me forrr darrling?" the tiger purred
"Hey, Byakko just watch my back and help me get this thing down"
"No prrroblem"
"Remember, this is just training so relax a little ok?" hoping to calm down her hungry tiger
"Trrraining, got it"
They went to their positions Sakura and Byakko on a tree branch and the clone on the field waiting for them. Byakko jumped swiftly from branch to branch succeeding on making no sound. It sounds exactly like the wind ruffling the leaves. The tiger made her way around the trees like stalking a pray it hides in the bush waiting for an attack.
Sakura jumps down a few meters from the clone and came charging with her fist in the air. Like a second Sakura stares at her tiger in the eyes. Byakko understands the signal and comes charging at the enemy with her mouth wide. She leaps up from behind and claws the enemy in the face while having her sharp teeth sinking into the enemy's leg.
With that the clone 'poofed.'
"Great job on going for the leg. Smart girl." Smiling she went up to the tiger and patted her head.
"Grr."
"Hey what's wrong?" her tiger glared at her "Oh, I'm sorry Byakko I'll always call you by your name from now on" She crouched down to eye level with the tiger and gave her a reassuring smile and patted her on the head and gave her a hug.
"Good, now remember that from now on and for that you'll take care of my cubs for today. The tiger sat there and smiled up at her while being petted
"Hey, what now. I have to watch those trouble makers!?" with a screeching voice
"Look I disciplined them a lot while you weren't with them, they'll listen to you. Just threaten them that you'll tell me, they'll listen"
Sighing "Fine."
At the house Sakura took a shower, changed her clothes, lay on her bed, and closed her eyes for a while. She was getting ready to take a nap. "Sakura-chaaaan!" she heard by her balcony door. Taking a peek, noticing blonde hair.
"No, No, NO! Not now! Why me" grumbling at the person outside of her room
"HEY Sakura-chan!"
"HEYNaruto!" mocking his voice. "Stop yelling I heard you the first time damn it!" hitting Naruto over the head.
"Sorry, Sakura-chan. I just missed you that's it." rubbing his head where a bump was forming.
"Ugh, sorry Naruto. Jus a long tiring day that's all." walking up to him and healing his bump.
"Ah, thanks Sakura."
"Why are you here Naruto?"
"Why, I can't be with my old friend?" pouting at her and giving his big puppy eyes.
"Ok, what do you want to do?" looking at the boy crossing her arms over her chest.
"Let's eat RAMEN!" With his big bright eye's looking at her.
"Ok, but we eat here. I still have a lot of them here you can eat as much as you want."
Gasping "Whoa! So I can eat all the ramen here?" mouth hanging wide open and drooling.
"Yes, only if you help me take care of Byakko's cubs" trying to even it out from bothering her.
"Okay, I love those little guys! They're so cute!" trying to hide the fact that he just wants the ramen, but will help her out.
"Liar. What about the time when they pissed on you?" Sakura raised an eyebrow at it comment.
"Uhhhhh"
"The time they pooped on you."
"Uhh"
"The time they bit you. Oh, my favorite. The time when they tricked you to jump off my second story balcony trying to see if you could land on your hands doing a handstand?" she gave him a hard glare and crossed her arms over her chest.
" Hey, it sounded believable and yes I did it, you saw me" he copied Sakura with his arms and turned his head like a mad little kid.
Snorting "Yeah, believable to you. Yes, but who snapped both of their arms and had to heal it?"
"HEY! At least I made it." he yelled and remembered "I never thanked you for that." his voice softened. He pulled her into a bear hug "thanks."
Calmed down by his sudden action "No, thank you Naruto" her voice softened like a faint whisper.
"I don't know why Naruto, but my day felt like crap. I really needed that a lot thank you." she hugged him back
"Yeah, ok. Ramen time!"
They both ran down stairs and ate. Sakura, a couple of onigiri. And Naruto, most of the ramen in the cabinet.
They both finished their lunch and Naruto headed towards the door to leave.
"Hey, I thought you would help me out when the cubs come!?"
"Sorry Sakura. I lost track of time. I have to go meet with Hinata at her house before she gets mad at me." He explained
"Ok, just don't break her heart." she warned "you guys make a cute couple." saying it with a sweet voice.
"Thanks Sakura I promise I'll make it up to you" he opened the door and left with a click.
"Ok, bye" she said to him. But never answered back.
Looking up at the clock "Damn, it's only 3:00. Ugh" She went to look at her calendar. Her eye's widened, tears fell from her cheeks.
"Damn it! How could I forget!" she clenched her fist and punched her wall making a hole.

...
It was the day her parents died.
The two young tiger poofed and slowly approached Sakura with worried eyes. "Sakuwa what's wong?" the little baby cub looked up at her.
"Yeah, why you cwying?" the other one asked
"Hey, I gotta go, tell your mom I said I'm sorry and please go back to her."
Both tigers looked at each other "uh, ok." they both disappeared then heard another poof.
"Hey! You said - what's wrong Sakura?" Byakko worried about her owner.
Sakura didn't answer her, she just kept sobbing.
She looked around and room and obsered where the girl was standing and took a look at the calender"Oh, I'm sorry Sakura. I forgot it was today. You can pay me back later when you feel better" Byakko understood what was happening.
"Thanks but can you stay with me please?"
"Sure"
She grabbed her black hoodie and put it on, walked out her door and too the memorial. Putting the hood on, she put her head down to hide her tears streaming down her face.
She approached the memorial and felt someone's presence then disappeared. She stopped right in front of the stone. Tears began streaming down her puffy cheeks. Silently she stood there and kept her hand on her parents' names that went on for 2 hours.
"I'm sorry"
She sat on the ground leaning on the stone with her legs crossed looking down at the ground while her hands slightly touching the ground looked dead to her because of the way she felt.
In the forest sitting on a tree a man wondering why she was there. Being curious he sat on a branch observing the pink haired woman. He saw her standing there touching the name 'or was it names?' he though. 'Who is she visiting?' he was curious about his old student. He saw her sit and lean on the stone looking at the ground. He looked at her eyes, which held many, many emotions but right now he saw none. Just eyes. She looked….dead to him. Her body was slumped 'why the hell is she like this?' being even more curious about her.
Sakura finally had the energy to stand up. Placed her palm against her lips and running it over the names. Looking at the sky "I love you"
'Eh! Did she have a boyfriend I never knew about?' Kakashi thought to himself
Slowly she walked away and still felt the presence from the beginning but didn't care about him. She just ignored him like what he did to her these pass years. While passing the tree he was on, she stopped right next to it. She kept her head straight not bothering to look up. It was silent just the whistling of the wind, rustling of the leaves could be heard.
"Leave me alone." Disgusted that he sat there for hours watching her. Not even bothering to say a "Yo" or "Why are you here?" he just left her there and stared at her, nothing more.
"I didn't think you'd find me here. I was very sure you wouldn't-"
She vanished
Leaving a shocked copy nin behind.
'Byakko' - white tiger... so yeah. You get it right?
