Sakura sighed as she opened the gate to Rei and Haru's house. She wasn't sure if she should have accepted the offer to come for dinner but she knew it was because Kakashi was going to be here. Sakura took the time to look at their house and gave it an appraising once over. The exterior of their house was very old fashioned and they had a gorgeous flower garden out front. Sakura walked up to the door and raised her hand to knock when she noticed the note taped on the door telling her to go ahead and walk in. Sakura cocked her head to the side in confusion but shrugged and pushed the door open. She looked around but didn't see anyone, then the sound of a piano reached her. She didn't know that they had a piano. Then the most gorgeous voice reached her ears and she followed it past the kitchen to what she assumed was a den. The door was already open so she walked in.

Rei sat at the piano in a flowing purple skirt and simple black cami with her fingers delicately dancing across the ivory keys. She had a calmed expression over her face and her eyes sparkled with happiness as she smiled at her niece who was sitting next to her on the piano bench. Haru leaned against the wall over where a drum set was and was giving a gentle smile as she looked at her daughter. Kakashi was stretched out in the doorway that led outside with his book in his hands. Shino was standing off to the side and nodded to Sakura as she entered. Rei nudged her niece with her elbow and smiled down at her. Deiara clutched her aunt around the waist and wouldn't let go. Rei's eyes softened and she continued to play and sing. Sakura couldn't identify it but there was something about the woman's voice that drove her to listen and to never turn away. She felt her body relaxing just from her voice.

Kakashi looked up to see Sakura looking peaceful as she stared at Rei. He knew it must be her first time hearing Rei sing. He went back to his book and gave a blissful sigh; this was something he had missed. He looked back up when he felt someone else enter the house and nodded at Yamato as he walked into the room.

Sakura jumped as Yamato walked to her side and smiled down at her. She was confused as to why he was there but her attention drifted back to Rei who quietly finished out the song. Rei ran a hand over her niece's hair and smiled.

"Better?"

"Will you sing another one Auntie?" she heard the little girl mumble.

Rei smiled, "Anything for you."

Haru softly looked at her sister as she went back to the piano and began playing a soft country song that Rei had learned years ago for Haru. The petite blue haired woman turned to Sakura and walked over to her. Sakura's gaze flitted to Haru but it returned to Rei as the woman sang a gorgeous version of 'You're Gonna Be'.

"My sister is an amazing singer isn't she?" Haru softly asked. Sakura could only nod in agreement, "Her natural voice is better but she's doing this to put my daughter in a better mood."

"Wait, natural voice?" Sakura was confused.

Haru nodded, "It's our little special trick. We force chakra into our vocal chords and are able to manipulate the sound and the effect it has on people. I'm not as gifted at it as she is but I don't think anyone could be as skilled as her."

"Beneath the rough exterior she's a cuddly teddy bear," Yamato said quietly.

Haru giggled, "Basically, I'm glad you could make it Yamato. We were beginning to wonder if you were avoiding us."

"I can never avoid family Haru."

Sakura's eyes widened and she turned to Yamato, "You're related to them?"

Yamato gave a small smile, "No Sakura, you already know my heritage. I'm family but not by blood."

"More like by force," Haru said. "Rei dragged his bleeding ass back after a mission one day and made him come over for dinner for forgiveness after almost getting him killed. Our mother fell in love with him and forced him to come back. He eventually ended up being around so much he became part of our rather odd family."

"Odd being a good word," Yamato said.

Rei finished out the song and smiled as Deiara climbed into her lap to hug the woman. Rei hugged her niece tightly and didn't let go till the little girl whined and started squirming. She laughed and got a mischievous glint in her eyes. She then tossed her niece at the group. Yamato easily caught the blonde girl and gently set her down.

"Do it again!" Deiara yelled as she ran back to her aunt.

"So what happened at the academy Haru?" Yamato asked.

Haru sighed heavily, "Apparently the children are picking on Deiara for who her father is. You know she's a little sensitive about that. She sees Deidara as a man who loved her unconditional not some monster who hunted down people. It bothers her a bit when people dismiss her and her father. I think once break comes a visit to Aunt Zera might be in order. Though as long as they don't blow up the safe house we will be fine. Oh, Yamato, have you seen Zeherah and Katlina lately? I was told they were allowed to go on missions now but I haven't seen them lately."

Sakura narrowed her eyes as two of the missing-nin they had taken in were mentioned, "They both came back from a mission today," Sakura answered for Yamato.

"Oh, well then they'll probably be here in about…now," the doorbell rang and Haru smiled, "I'm good."

Deiara ran past them to get to the front door. Rei stood up from the piano bench and walked over to them. Sakura got her first chance to look over the woman in a relaxed setting. Her blue hair was pulled back into a loose bun allowing some of the hair to fall out and brush against her neck. Her scar was exposed as well; Sakura internally cringed as she assessed the scar. It was a nasty one and obviously had not been looked at by a medic. She wondered how the woman could have survived that. She looked up when she heard a voice she recognized. A red haired woman and tall buxom blonde walked into the room and wrapped Rei in a hug. Rei squeaked as her face was smooshed into a set of boobs by the blonde. Kiba and Neji walked into the room and waved at Sakura.

Haru rolled her eyes, "Okay all four of you wash up. I'm not having your dirty asses at my table. Now!"

The four disappeared down the hall. Kakashi chuckled and stood up from his spot, "Well, I guess it's time for Sakura's introduction to the family dinner."

000000000000000000000

Sakura was thoroughly confused by her surroundings at dinner. Naruto had showed up and genuinely looked surprised to see her there and explained he came because the food was fantastic and Sakura could only smile at that. She did have to agree with him though; Haru and Rei were amazing cooks. Inner Sakura could only pout as she had realized that Kakashi's old flame was perfect whereas she was not. Her mind went back to the table as Kiba started teasing Katlina, who only threw it right back. She could not understand why the two former missing-nin were sitting at the table and acting so familiar with everyone. What startled her more was when Kiba had leaned in and kissed Zeherah right off her chair. The dinner was making her go crazy with so many unanswered questions. Rei smiled at her as she set a glass of vodka in front of her.

"It'll make things seem less crazy, promise."

Sakura nodded and took the drink, she didn't normally drink alcohol but if she was going to stay here for a while she was going to need it. Kakashi looked at the woman on his right and knew she wouldn't last if she kept drinking from Rei's stock of alcohol. That reminded him, he needed to talk to Rei about her alcohol problem. After Rei had her first drink Haru quickly took the bottle from her sister, knowing that she had a problem. Rei pouted but didn't raise a fuss as Deiara was sitting next to her. Neji looked over at Sakura and couldn't contain his question anymore.

"Why are you here Sakura?" he politely asked.

Sakura stilled and her eyes flittered towards Kakashi before her face got a pink tinge to it. Rei rolled her eyes, "I invited her, sheesh Neji, I'm allowed to invite people to dinner."

"I just didn't know you were friends with her."

Rei smirked, "I still have some surprises up my sleeves, Mister I'll-Never-Date-A-Missing-Nin."

Neji huffed and sat back in his seat with Katlina happily smiling up at him. Naruto gave a soft smile as he glanced at everyone at the table and could only wonder what kind of spell Rei had woven to bring them all together. He noticed the looks Sakura kept throwing at their old sensei and knew what Rei was up to then. He gave Rei a warning look and she shrugged before taking her plate to the sink. Kiba helped her with the dishes this time around as Deiara giggled and took off running outside. Haru rolled her eyes and chased after her daughter, who should be acting her age. Naruto pulled Sakura out of her chair and into the living room.

"So, I see Rei's trying to meddle in people's lives again," Naruto said with a wink to Sakura as he walked to the sliding door that led out back.

Sakura walked over and was shocked to see Deiara lighting a fire pit while her mom shook her head but had a smile gracing her beautiful features. "She said she'd help me."

"You should be grateful for that, most of the time she runs the women away from Kakashi. She's very protective of him especially since she finally has him back."

Sakura nodded in understanding, the village had wronged them and Danzou had tried to kill them. They ran and became missing-nin, when they were finally found they willingly came back as long as two other missing-nin they had been with were allowed to come. Hence why Zeherah and Katlina were allowed into the village.

"I'm very protective of everyone Naruto, not just Kakashi," Rei smiled at Sakura. "He's on the roof if you want to go talk to him. I gave him some alcohol so by the end of the night he should be a little tipsy and his guard will be down. That's when you make your move. If he starts making excuses kick him off the roof and I'll deal with him."

Sakura gave a small smile, "Thank you for doing this."

"No problem pinkie, I know he'll be happy with you. I've been around when he talks about you and I see it in his eyes. You'll be good for each other, but do something for me."

"What?"

"Heal him, he's gone through too much to do it alone."

Sakura nodded and jumped up onto the rooftop to see her former sensei reading his perverted book once again. Kakashi grinned at her and waved the sake bottle in her direction. Sakura rolled her eyes and sat next to the man as he poured her a drink. Sakura leaned back on her hand and looked up at the night sky. It was beautiful, there was not a single cloud in sight.

"So how did she manage to get you to show up for dinner?"

Sakura smirked, "She dangled a delicious little treat in front of me."

Kakashi raised an eyebrow at her, "Really?"

"Yep, she said it was delicious tasting too though she said I couldn't borrow any of her fig leafs because they wouldn't fit."

Kakashi sighed, "Sakura…"

"Just hear me out for a second," Kakashi closed his book and didn't speak. "I know we probably shouldn't but I can't deny what I want. I had held myself back because I thought you and Rei were together," that statement elicited a chuckle from the copy nin. "I realized after a while that you two were just oddly close and I knew then and there that I wanted to be as close to you as she was. I wanted to be the one. I don't care what anyone thinks, I…I just wanted to confess for once even though in the back of my mind I fear this will end up exactly like before," Kakashi knew exactly what she was talking about. "I just can't deny it anymore—"

Kakashi placed a hand over her mouth, "You talk too much Sakura." He replaced his hand with his mouth to keep her silent. Sakura sighed and ran her hand into his hair to pull him closer to her. Kakashi pulled her over to straddle him and continued the kiss. He pulled away to see the reddened lips and hazy gaze. He smirked, he was good.

"Now Rei will stop teasing me about wanting you," he said with a chuckle.

Sakura raised an eyebrow, "Really?"

"She's rather annoying isn't she?"

"I'm persistent not annoying!" Rei yelled from the back porch. Some not so well hidden laughs followed her comment.

Kakashi gazed up at Sakura, "Want to get out of here? You're place is closer."

0000000000000000000000000

Sakura groaned as she felt the warmth leaving her body. She rolled over to see Kakashi sitting on the edge of her bed slipping his shirt on. She glanced at the clock and it read 5 am, why the hell was Kakashi getting up so early? Kakashi leaned back down and kissed her on the forehead. She wrapped an arm around him and pulled him down so she could kiss him. Kakashi smiled into the kiss and pulled back.

"I'm sorry but Rei and I are leaving on a mission, well we should have left now but I couldn't pull myself away from you."

Sakura sleepily smiled, "I think she'll forgive you just this once."

Kakashi nodded, "It's supposed to take us a few weeks so I'm sorry to rush off."

Sakura landed back onto her bed with a soft thump, "I'll be waiting right here when you get back."

Kakashi pulled her towards him one last time, "I'm going to kill Rei but I'm glad I finally have you."

Sakura inhaled his scent and tightened her grip on him, she couldn't believe this was real. He said a quick goodbye and left a lingering kiss on her lips. Sakura sighed as she pulled her comforter back onto the bed. It had been an amazing night and she couldn't imagine spending any more nights without him by her side. Her dreams had come true. She finally had him. She rolled over and clutched the pillow she had, it smelled like him. Her day off was beginning perfectly and all she wanted to do was fall back asleep. She did have to agree with Rei though, a fig leaf would not cover that man.

At the gates of Konoha, Rei smirked as she saw Kakashi walk towards her with his nose in his mandatory orange book.

"Well I'm guessing someone got laid."

Kakashi rolled his visible eye at her, "Are we ready?"

"I've been ready but I guess you already know that. So, how was the pinkie?" Rei asked as she waggled her eyebrows.

Kakashi ignored her and went back to his book that he wasn't reading. He couldn't focus on any of the words. His thoughts were on a certain pink haired kunoichi that he had just left.

000000000000000000000000Two and a half weeks later

Naruto paced in his office, Kakashi and Rei were supposed to have been back four days ago. He was beginning to seriously worry that something was wrong. He had called for a few select people to go on a recovery mission to bring the two valuable ninja back. Sakura stormed into the room breathing heavily as she looked at Naruto with a worried look. Haru, Zeherah and Katlina were right behind her. The three had apparently bonded with the pink haired medic during the time Kakashi and Rei had been gone. Naruto was please about that but his more important thoughts were on the mission.

"Kakashi and Rei have yet to come back and I'm done worrying. I'm sending you four out to find them. They actually aren't that far from here, they were hired to take out a gang that was threatening some villages. It was only supposed to take at the max two weeks. Now go."

Sakura nodded and everyone rushed out of the room. Everyone grabbed their packs that they had left outside the room. They had, had a feeling as to why Naruto had called them with such urgency and they had come prepared. Haru took the lead as they headed off to find her sister. Sakura was worried sick for Kakashi, she knew he could handle himself but it didn't stop her from worrying.

"We'll find him, don't worry," Zeherah calmly said.

It only took them a few hours running at top speed to make it to the village where Rei and Kakashi had last been spotted. Haru ran across a few rooftops but then suddenly stopped and spun around to her right. She jumped over to the next roof and they could all feel the bass from the club. Haru looked around a few generators on top of the building and her eyes widened. Her delicate fingers grabbed the small anklet that she had given to her sister when she turned twenty.

"They're here," Haru said as she pocketed the anklet.

The three women nodded and as a group they jumped off the roof to sneak inside the club. Each one stayed close to the others as they walked across the rafters at the top of the building. Zeherah crouched down and looked at a far wall where two buff looking guards were guarding a door. The buxom blonde nodded to Katlina and the two dropped down next to the guards and quickly knocked them out. Sakura dropped down next and threw open the door. It led to a set of stairs that led down to a basement. Haru dropped down and locked the door behind the four of them. Sakura felt for any presences and noted four of them. Two were obviously weakened. She silently directed them down the correct hallways and they stopped outside an iron door. Sakura channeled her chakra into her fist and slammed it against the door. It flew off it's hinges, hitting a goon in the process. Rei's head snapped up and she brought her leg straight up between the legs of the man in front of her. He fell to his knees and she quickly head butted him, knocking him unconscious.

"Haru untie me now! We need to get out of here before more show up."

Haru rushed to her sister while Sakura could only focus on the image of Kakashi in front of her. He was unconscious and looked worse than Rei, who was littered with cuts and abrasions. Kakashi had a head wound that had apparently been bleeding for a while. She untied her man and lifted him in her arms with ease. Sometimes being abnormally strong had it's benefits. Rei leaned on Zeherah for support as she limped out of the room.

"You guys took for fucking ever, I'm gonna kill Naruto for not sending you guys sooner," Rei lost all the strength in her legs, "Fuck that ankle is going to be a problem." Katlina came over and supported Rei's other side as Haru took up the rear of their group. "There's an exit down the hallway that will lead to a tunnel that can take us to outside the village, only problem is the goons heading our way."

Sakura looked up and tightened her grip on Kakashi's limp body as ten men moved into their path. One man in a crisp clean suit stepped forward and smirked at them. His eyes lingered over the women as if visually stripping them for his own entertainment. Rei growled at him and felt her sister slyly press the hilt of a sword into her hand.

"Well if this isn't a surprise, and here we thought we'd finally be able to break them. Guess we will just have to break all of you."

"Oh I'll sure as hell break you for what you did to him," Sakura spoke through gritted teeth.

Zeherah released Rei and took Kakashi from Sakura's arms as the woman cracked her neck and gave a devilish smirk. The man narrowed his eyes as he watched her pull her on her gloves. His eyes snapped open when he felt her fist connect with his stomach.

"Damn, we should have formed a team with her a long time ago," Rei mentioned.

Sakura smirked at that comment and kneed the man in the head to knock him out. The rest of the men scattered as quick as they could. They weren't going to fight against some scary chick. Zeherah and the rest rushed past her as they escaped into the tunnel. Sakura was worried sick about Kakashi the longer it took them to get out of the tunnel. Katlina had eventually hauled Rei onto her back as the blue haired woman passed out from her injuries. Haru took the sword from her sister's limp hand and dashed down the hallway with Sakura taking up the rear to protect them. Haru kicked open the door at the end and cursed. They were surrounded by big, buff buffoons. Zeherah cursed, they were at a severe disadvantage with the two dead weights they were carrying. Sakura growled and pulled on her glove out of habit. A growl was heard and everyone's attention was snapped to the side as Akamaru jumped out of the treetops and landed on a couple bad guys. Neji landed on the opposite side and quickly knocked a few men out. All of the men dropped to the ground either dead or unconscious in a matter of seconds.

Sakura darted towards Zeherah as she looked over Kakashi carefully. He was unnaturally pale and his skin was clammy to the touch. His head wound was still bleeding.

"We have to get back quickly, he's lost too much blood."

"Am I dead?"

"No but we should be."

Kakashi groaned as he tried to move his body. His body didn't want to cooperate with him. He sighed and turned his head to see gorgeous blue hair pulled back to reveal a happily smiling face. She waved a sake bottle at him, "Want some?"

"I need to get you away from the alcohol."

"Nah, I'm good for now. My liver ain't corroded enough yet, though I would suggest not worrying about me. You've had a certain pink haired beauty at your side these past few days. She hasn't left in a while, I made her accept the food Haru brought her so she didn't collapse from exhaustion. She finally fell asleep a while ago though," Rei kicked off her blankets and walked towards the door. "I'll leave you alone 'Kashi, treat her well. You both deserve happiness."

Kakashi sighed as she closed the door and turned his head to the right to see Sakura clutching his hand while she slept at an odd angle with her arms and head resting on the bed. His joints popped and protested as he sat up. None of his muscles wanted to cooperate with him but he was determined to make them move. Sakura stirred and she glanced up at him sleepily. Kakashi smiled underneath his mask.

"Hi Sakura."

He grunted as Sakura threw her arms around him in a desperate hug. He wrapped his uncooperative arms around her as much as he could. He inhaled her fresh scent and gave a small smile, he was glad to see her again. She was more precious to him than he was willing to admit. He stilled as he felt her cheek grow wet. Why was she crying?

"Sakura, what's wrong?"

"I was worried that I was going to lose you. I can't stand the idea of losing you. I lost Sasuke, I almost lost Naruto and you had just become mine, I didn't want to give up my happiness again."

Kakashi placed his hands on her cheeks and wiped her tears away, "You're never going to have to give up on your happiness. I will always be here for you," he said as he pulled her in for a kiss.

Sakura laughed as she rubbed her eyes to rid herself of the tears, "I guess we will just have to see what happens huh?"

Outside the room Rei smiled. Naruto nudged her shoulder and smirked at her, "Well?"

"I'm happy for him, he needs someone in his life besides us."

"So do you Rei."

"Nah, I'm fine with messing around for now. I'm not in a hurry to settle down though Haru keeps saying that I'll know that guy before I even climb in his bed."

"You will," Naruto said as he smiled gently at her.

Rei smiled, he always made her smile, "That reminds me, the one you love is showing up soon isn't he?"

Naruto blushed, "Yea, Gaara will be here in a few weeks for my celebration."

"Well you going to tell him?"

"We'll see what happens."
