Recap-
Swallowing the pain reliever, she set to work on setting the broken bones and healing most of her wounds with such calm, it was unnatural for a child of her age. Once finished, she cleaned up her mess and dragged herself towards her bedroom where she promptly entered the vast realm of both dreams and nightmares.
Chapter-1
Just outside the window in the young girl's room, unknowingly to her there was someone watching her. The person just happened to have been a ninja that just returned from a mission when walking down a road only to hear someone being beaten. The ninja decided to take a quick look and see what was going on and got there at the time the young girl went sailing into the wall.
The ninja who happened to be a chunin, perched himself on a tree branch right outside a window and was about to look more deeply into the matter when a deathly pale, underweight child half dragged and half limped into the room and flopped on the bed. The silver-haired chunin snuck in the room through the window and checked the vital signs of the girl.
She was just barely surviving and she was severely malnourished if he was to go by what he knew. Picking her up very carefully so as to not cause any more damage, he went as fast as he could to the hospital to see if they could do anything for the girl. While transporting the girl though, she started to stir as if she was waking up only to snuggle into the warmth of the chunin's back.
Upon arriving at the clinic, the silver-haired chunin looked around the lobby and was not surprised to find very little people here. Walking up to the desk, he waited for someone to come and help him. He did not have to wait long though, for a blonde doctor entered and came to help him.
"Konichiwa, Kakashi-san, might I say I didn't expect to find you here at this hour," said the blonde doctor happy to finally have someone to talk to "what might I ask brings you here at this late hour?"
"Konichiwa, Sanji-san, I have a young girl with me who, from what I can tell, needs some hospitalization." Kakashi said as he turned around to show the doctor the girl clinging to the back of his shirt.
The doctor took one look at her and said "Well I can certainly try my best with healing her injuries and checking her over for anything else." before prying her from Kakashi and walking down the halls of the hospital into a room. Once in the room he placed her in the only other unoccupied bed in the room, the other bed containing a small boy with golden blonde hair and three whisker-like markings on his checks. After he put the girl down, he paged two nurses to come and help him with the child.

"Kakashi-san, I've just finished checking over her and she was doing pretty badly despite some obvious signs of an amateur attempt to heal her, but she is stable now and should wake up in a couple of hours."
"Thank you very much Sanji-san. I should leave now and report to the Hokage." Kakashi stood and made as if to leave the building when the doctor stopped him.
"Kakashi, do you know of any relatives of the child whom I can contact?"
"No, I'm sorry Sanji-san but I do not." And with that, said Kakashi turned and left.

A quiet click sounded as the door to the room shut. A blonde about the same age as her inhabited the room in which the pinkette was currently residing in also. The nurse who had just been in the room had been checking on a pink haired child who just arrived that morning and a blonde boy as well. The pink haired child had been sleeping since she came in and everyone was waiting for when she would wake up.
The door once again opened but revealed a group of several people instead of the regular nurse. The group consisted of the Hokage, a silver haired chunin named Kakashi, Sanji, a petite young jounin with caramel colored locks and fiery emerald eyes, and a middle-aged woman with hair the color of brunt honey. The group walked in and surrounded the sleeping pinkette before commencing to talk about the said child.
"Yes, the report I filed was accurate, Hokage-sama," said Kakashi who was now clean and much more wake and aware. "I got there just in time to see her beaten across the room into a wall by who I am assuming to be her father."
"You lie. Her father is the kindest, gentlest men I know." Spoke the young women in a heated whisper.
"I will arrange for the matter to be looked into and until then may I suggest that the child stay with Takure-san at her place." The Hokage said in a finalizing tone, looking at the two.
"Hai, Hokage-sama." The two murmured, dejectedly.
"Is that all right with you Seku?" the Hokage glanced at the female jounin questioningly while the others looked hoping for a no to be the answer.
"I'm sure Ryo-kun will be alright with it." Said the blushing caramel haired female.
"Alright then, it is settled. Sakura shall stay with Seku and Ryo until this matter is settled." The Hokage then glanced at the young child before walking over to young the young blonde boy who seemed to have awoken sometime during the conversation.
"You will pay for this Kakashi and so will you as well Seku for taking away my daughter." The middle-aged women glared at the two before walking out the door.
Kakashi looked up from the young girl at Sakura's mother as she left before turning back to the remnants of the same group. Seku was staring sadly at the doorway as she murmured something under her breath to the leaving woman.
Turning back to Kakashi, Seku smiled and said as she glanced at Sakura, "Well looks like I get to chill out with this little cutey for a little while. I better go and get a space ready and explain it to Ryo before I have to take her." She turned to leave and was about to day goodbye to the occupants of the room when a noise came from the corner of the room.
"What was that Kakashi?"
"So it's true?"
"So what's true, Kakashi?"
"That you guys are getting married?"
"Yes. The wedding is at the end of the month."
"Have you sent out invitations yet?"
"Yes."
"I wasn't invited then, I guess?"
"No, and you know why Kakashi. Now please... just please, Kakashi. I must be going." Seku said before walking solemnly out of the room.
The Hokage had left a while ago after Naruto had fallen back asleep, leaving Kakashi and the two sleeping children in the room alone. Kakashi stood beside Sakura's bed clutching at the sheets with his eyes misty as a solemn mood set over the room. Unclenching his hand, he smoothed out the bed sheet and walked out but not before a tear slipped out and landed on the sheet of Sakura's bed.

T.B.C.
So turns out that Kakashi and Seku have a bit of history. Well to bad history always was my worst subject.
Anywayz sorry about the super long time of not updating. It's just that everything just deemed it necessary to throw all this drama and crap into my life along with some majorly unneeded writer's block, so I was kind of hurting. Today I finally got some inspiration and decided to type up at least one chapter for you guys and update since you guys rock so much.
Well review and stick around for later chapters if you want to see what's going on with Kakashi and Seku. I don't know when I will update next but I am going to try to work on getting chapters up faster. So until next time…
