Sakura's Majikku Mission
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.
Chapter 3
Last time:
"You let her go on this mission alone?!"
"Kakashi she's ANBU now, she can handle it. Besides almost all of those she cut off come here once a week begging me to let them join Sakura." Said Tsunade as her expression darkened thinking of the many times she had thrown them all out of her office.
"Tsunade-sama, I have a request……" asked Kakashi.
Tsunade's eyes widened, his tone of voice was not encouraging, and she had an idea of what he was going to ask. The problem was she wasn't sure what her answer would be…..

Sakura sat panting heavily on the edge of the lake it was getting colder now. Halloween had just passed, it was a noisy event. As usual it was early in the morning about 7 am, she had been up since 4, Sakura had just spent 3 hours training by fighting clones of herself. Sakura had however been slipping into a deep depression over the last month, and it was starting to take its toll on her training.
Deciding she best get in the Great hall before the rush, she got up and made her way to her place at the teachers table. She absently noticed that there was an empty seat next to her today, whereas usually no one sat there at all. Sakura also noted that almost all the students were present, and Dumbledore was standing at the podium. Sakura frowned under her mask, she had a bad feeling about this.
Before she could dwell on it more an owl dropped something onto the table before her. It was a scroll, Sakura picked it up and upon seeing it addressed to her, she opened it. Her eyes widened at the words written there.
'Sorry Sakura, couldn't do anything about it if I wanted some peace. Talk to him. He can help. Also don't kill him….please we need him and you back in one piece……
Tsunade.'
Sakura's eyes widened, 'him? She wouldn't dare send any of them, but then who…'thought Sakura. Dumbledore cleared his throat distracting Sakura from her inner musing.
"Students, as you all know we have one guard already at our school, but now I would like to introduce our second guard Kakashi Hatake."
Sakura shot out of her seat as her ex-sensei appeared in his ANBU uniform, but without the ANBU mask.
Sakura was out of her seat in a flash and was stomping towards Kakashi as she growled loud enough to cause the whole great hall to fall into silence.
"HATAKE KAKASHI, EXPLAIN NOW."

Harry and Ron were talking about the detention Umbridge had given him, when Dumbledore started his speech.
The pair listened to Dumbledore, when suddenly a silver haired man appeared out of thin air.
"What !! that's impossible, you can't apparate in Hogwarts, you simply can't its not possible." Came the shocked voice of Hermione.
Harry looked at the new guard, he wore the same outfit as the female guard apart from his tattoo was on his left arm. He wore a mask which covered his face and neck from the top of his nose down, and covering his left eye was a headband with a curious symbol on it. Not to mention the guy seemed to have gravity defying hair.
Before anyone could contemplate further there was a very dangerous sounding growl that resounded through out the Great Hall, when everyone looked to the source, they saw a dangerous Sakura stomping towards the new guard.
"Mate this doesn't look good…" whispered Ron into his ear. Harry nodded his head in agreement, "Maybe they will fight, and we will see how strong they really are." Joked Harry; not realising how accurate he was about to be.
The pair went silent when a furious and deadly sounding voice sounded in the Hall.
"HATAKE KAKASHI, EXPLAIN NOW."

Sakura looked straight at the Copy-nin, who merely gave her an eye crinkle, which meant he was smiling at her under his mask.
"Tsunade sent me as back up." He asnswered.
"I didn't request any. Return to Konohagakure Kakashi."
"No, sakura" answered Kakashi in japanese.
"Why not, I have no need for you here." She answered back in japanese.
"You need a friend Sakura, you need someone to be by your side, otherwise everything that is gnawing at you will hurt you even more. Tsunade sent me because she knew I could help you. You're falling into a depression."
"Leave Kakashi. Now or I will make you."
"You wouldn't dare Sakura."
"Don't forget Kakashi-sensei I am ANBU now, I can beat you. Now leave before I force you to."
"Sakura enough. We need to talk about this." Replied Kakashi in English signalling he wanted the conversation. Although he had noticeably positioned his body so that he was ready at a moments notice to block and upcoming attacks.
"Wrong answer." Said Sakura. And then she charged.

"Hokage-sama, why did you let Kakashi go, why not me or Sasuke or Sai." Whined Naruto.
Team 7 had somehow found out that Tsunade had given Kakashi permission to join Sakura on her mission. As a result Tsuande had Naruto, Hinata, Shikamara, Chouji, Lee, Neji, Tenten, Sai, Kiba, Shino, Ino and of course the Uchiha all in her office moaning and protesting against her decision.
"I agree with Naruto why send Kakashi to help Sakura, he's ANBU. You should of sent another Jounin. It's a waste of Kakashi's time having to babysit Sakura. Why even give her such a high rated mission." Said Ino loudly. Tsunade's rage grew when she saw everyone in the room nod their heads in agreement.
"Call her back Tsunade-san, if this mission calls for ANBU, Sakura is going to get herself killed." Said Sasuke.
Tsuande had had enough.
"ENOUGH !!" She yelled effectively silencing everyone in the room.
"Now listen up and listen good because I am going to say this once. Sakura Haruno is not weak. In fact she is stronger than any of you, and of the best ninjas in Konohagakure. That last week she was away, Sakura was taking the ANBU entrance exams after being refered by myself and Shizune. Sakura passed the exam with flying colours. I sent Kakashi because out of all of you, he is the only one with the right rank, and he didn't betray her."
Tsuande was about to continue, when Naruto opened his mouth.
"We never betrayed Sakura though." He said
That was the last straw for Tsuande, she errupted.
" YOU DIDN'T BETRAY HER ? YES YOU BLOODY WELL DID. ALL OF YOU. WHAT IS THE ONE THING YOU SENSEI TAUGHT YOU FIRST WHEN YOU WERE ALL GENIN? TEAMWORK, TRUST!! YOU IGNORED THAT COMPLETELY WITH SAKURA, YOU THOUGHT SHE WAS WEAK AND THEREFORE YOU SAW FIT JUST TO DO AS YOU PLEASED AND WHO CARES THE EFFECT IT HAS ON HER. SAKURA IS ANBU, SHE IS DEADLY AND STRONGER THAN ANY OF YOU COULD EVER BE. NONE OF YOU EVEN THOUGH TO TELL EVEN THOUGH YOU KNEW IT WAS WRONG. AND YOU UCHIHA SAW IT FIT TO THREATEN EVERYONE IN KONHAGAKURE WITH DEATH IN ORDER TO HIDE THIS SECRET. THE ELDERS ARE FURIOUS WITH ALL OF YOU. SUCH DISHONOUR FROM OUR NINJA IS UNACCEPTABLE. THEY HAVE GIVEN ME PERMISSION TO GIVE ANY PUNISHMENT I SEE FIT. SO HERE IS YOU PUNISHMENT EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU ARE HEREBY STRIPPED OF YOUR TITLES OF JOUNIN AND ARE PERMANTLY DEMOTED TO GENIN UNTIL SOMEONE MAKES ME CHANGE MY MIND. FURTHERMORE IF ANY OF YOU LEAVE KONOHAGAKURE WITHOUT MY PERMISSION YOU WILL IMMEDIATELY BE LABELED AS MISSING NIN, THEN HUNTED DOWN AND KILLED WITHOUT QUESTION. NOW GET OUT OF MY OFFICE BEFORE I THROW YOU OUT. "
They all opened their mouths to object, but faster than they could blink, Tsunade had punched then all out of her office via the window. Well at least were the window and wall used to be.
"Shizune, we need to fix another wall…." Called Tsunade to her assistant, the only answer she got was another groan.

The Great hall watched n interest as the argument developed. They all heard her say "Wrong answer." Then she ran at the silver haired guy with her fist raised.
Dumbledore's eyes widened and he immediately cast a spell to encase Sakura and Kakashi in a huge dome, in order to protect the students.
The students and all the faculty watched in sheer amazement as her fist missed the man by a millimetre and instead hit the ground. What shocked them was that when her fist hit the ground the floor shattered into a million pieces and a huge crater formed where the girl stood.
"Bloody Hell….. that strength!" Whispered Ron is a choked tone. Harry merely nodded his head since he had seemed to have lost the ability to speak. Their attention was drawn back to the battle as they hear the clang sound as the two guards blocked the others Katana blade.
Inside the dome Kakashi and Sakura were glaring at each other.
"Sakura, stop this I don't want to hurt you."
"Really you're just like them. You'll just betray me like they all did." She screamed back in his face, before putting away her katana and charging at him with charka infused fists
Kakashi stiffened 'how can she think that, I would give my life to protect her, yet she thinks I will just betray her. God knows what is going on in that head of hers, out of the three of them, she was always the hardest to figure out what she was thinking.' Thought Kakashi.
Kakashi came back to him senses to barely avoid a punch by Sakura. 'Right that's it I've had enough, time out Sakura' thought Kakashi.
As Sakura attempted to punch him once again, Kakashi spun around to put her face to his. Using lightening speed Kakashi moved his headband to reveal the Sharingan and he immediately pushed Chakra into it.
Sakura gasped as Kakashi turned and she found herself looking straight into the Sharingan. She felt her body slump and fall forward and her mind give way as the power of the Sharingan knocked her out cold.
Kakashi bent slightly lower to the ground and caught Sakura's limp body over his shoulder, with a clang her ANBU mask fell off her face and to the floor. Hermione gasped 'she doesn't look much older than us….' She thought.
Dumbledore deemed it same to remove the barrier. Looking at Kakashi, who in turn hoisted Skaura up a bit more on her shoulder and with her spare arm scrathed the back of his head.
"Sorry Dumbledore-san, we'll have the mess cleaned up by morning, but right now I need to Talk to Sakura alone for a while."
Dumbledore merely nodded. Kakashi bent and retrieved Sakura's mask and then walk through the Great Hall and out the Doors into the castle; leaving a stunned student body and faculty behind.
As Kakashi walked up the stairs towards the quarters Dumbledore had assigned them, his thoughts strayed to the young unconscious woman who was currently thrown over his shoulder.
'Sakura when you wake up, we are going to have a very long talk…even if I have to tie you down with Chakra strings.'
