Out of Sight But Hardly Out of Mind

Chapter Two

Kakashi lay in bed, just looking at Sakura as she slept, thinking about everything that had happened. He thought about the village and what was going on there right now. He thought about his best friend Genma and what he was thinking of them right now. He wondered about Naruto and how much they had hurt the poor kid.

Sakura opened her eyes and smiled up at him; he smiled back and scooted closer to her. "Good morning sweetie." He said and she smiled. "Aren't you forgetting someone?" she asked and Kakashi put his hand on her growing belly. "Good morning baby." He said and they both smiled.

She was in the fifth month of her pregnancy now, and she was starting to show. They couldn't walk down a street without being stopped and congratulated. It was nice, for both of them, it was almost normal. Kakashi and a Sakura clone made most of there appearances now, he didn't want her going out while she was with child. Though when she came back, there would be some noticeable differences he thought with a laugh to himself.

Sakura sat up in bed and smiled over at Kakashi, "I need to grab a shower, I have quiet a few appointments today and I want to get them done as fast as possible." Kakashi nodded and put his head back on the pillow.

Since they'd arrived here Sakura had really made a place for them in this little village. Her medical clinic was a relief to all the people since there last doctor had died a few years back. Sakura was happy to be taking care of people, and where ever she and Kakashi went she always tried to learn more about medical jutsu.

The people here were nice, and they'd both made small groups of friends, nothing as close as back in Konoha, but it was still nice to have friends.

But, Kakashi thought bitterly, it wasn't perfect. There wedding picture was of there henges and all the other pictures to. They could never truly confide in their friends, never really tell them secrets. Sakura could never really take full pride in her clinic because no one knew it was hers. It was a half life in a lot of ways thought Kakashi. And this baby was going to change it all. They wouldn't be able to hide there identities long after the child was born.

They'd talked about there options when they got to that point, but no plan had been made. Neither of them really wanted to leave here, even if it was a half life. At least they were together, and that was all that mattered.

"Report." Tsunade said to the anbu who had just walked into her office. She was pacing and obviously in a bad mood.

"We believe that Kakashi is the only one on the run right now. We're also assuming that Sakura is immobilized somewhere for some reason. The Sakura that's been with Kakashi has been a clone. My team took the new anbu member that's blood limit is chakra viewing and we can tell it's just a clone. But a good one that Kakashi's helping support to, we think it may even be Kakashi's clone transformed into Sakura. But we're not sure yet."

Tsunade nodded her head and sat down to think. "Send me Naruto please." She said and the anbu left to go find the recently moppy blonde. She pondered what could have immobilized Sakura, who was probably one of the most talented healers to ever live. Maybe she's contracted some incurable disease, no, she thought, not likely, and even if Kakashi would have brought her back. Then it hit her, like a punch to the face, she gasped.

Naruto choose that moment to walk in. "What's wrong granny?" he asked sounding concerned, but Tsunade didn't even notice him, her mind was reeling.

"She's pregnant!!" Tsunade yelled jumping up, and Naruto scratched him head in confusion, "Sakura's pregnant!" She yelled at him like it was written on the wall or something.

Naruto looked even more confused, "She's pregnant with Kakashi's child then." He said and sat down in a chair. "This just keeps getting worse and worse, at least the elders had been willing to forgive Kakashi and Sakura if they were to come back and divorce. But now they can't Konoha doesn't let you divorce once there's a child born into the family. Sakura and Kakashi really can't come back now." He looked at the floor, more depressed then usual.

Tsunade stood there and thought, she couldn't decide what to do. "I'm going to see the elders Naruto, I'll see if I can get them to cut Kakashi and Sakura a deal." Naruto just shook his head and sighed.

"They're not going to and you know it. I don't know what we're going to do now. They're going to be declared official missing-nins now, even though they already think they have been. This is horrible, everything just going wrong. And the worst part is I bet they're happy that she's pregnant, I bet they can't wait to see its smiling little face." Naruto said as he tried to imagine the scene but came up empty.

Tsunade sighed and agreed she knew the elders were going to be pissed when they found out Sakura was pregnant. But they had to be told, and maybe Tsunade could reason with them, she still had a few tricks up her sleeve. "Naruto, round up all the people who are involved in the Kakashi and Sakura thing and brief them on this new news. Make sure you call back any teams that went out in search of them and I want everyone briefed together." Naruto nodded and walked out the door leaving Tsunade to her plotting.
