The love of men and a woman

Kohona waited for Sakura and Kakashi to return, but there was no sign, no rumour that she was traveling back home to Kohona. Patience wasn't a virtue of Sasuke, when the days went by and nothing of Sakura or Kakashi, the more irritated Sasuke became.
"Teme cool down a bit, will you. We don't know where Sakura and Kakashi are. Perhaps they didn't hear the good news yet." Said Naruto with confidence in his voice. Sasuke looked at Naruto: "Are you sure dobe that they come back. What if Sakura found someone else? What is Kakashi is that person." The thought of Kakashi and Sakura together, made Sasuke sick to the stomach. "Hell no Teme, Kakashi sees Sakura as his daughter and Sakura see him as her father. As soon as Kakashi hears about the good news, he tells it to Sakura and takes her back home, so she can marry you and give him lots and lots of grandchildren." Naruto was so sure of that, He never saw the truth. He was right about the kind of relationship of Sakura and Kakashi. But Kakashi held no big love for Kohona.
Meanwhile somewhere in Rain country. "Kakashi my love are you alright?" Konan looked worried at her lover. He was not himself. He always looked for danger and wanted to protect her 24/7, next to Sakura. Konan didn't mind it a bit. Sakura was a little sister towards her and Konan knew how Kohona treated her and Kakashi. Kakashi looked up towards Konan and pulled Konan on his lap. "There is something off, my blue flower. It doesn't make sense that Sasuke wants to marry Sakura now. I'm afraid, that when we don't show up at the gates of Kohona, they will search for us." Konan saw the worry in his eye. She kissed him gently on the nose and whispered "don't worry, Sakura will be protected. We will not let you go, without a fight." Konan and Kakashi stayed seated in each other's arms and looked at the stars.
In the Hokage tower sat Tsunada looking in to the distance. An Anbu approached Tsunada. "My lady. I bring you news. There is still no sign of Sakura and Kakashi, but there are some activities round Rain Country. The Kage's of the allied countries went without a good reason to Rain Village. There are rumours about a female they want to protect. They say that she is like a Goddess, kind and caring and just as powerful." "What kind of power? "Asked Tsunada. "Nature listens to her and does her bidding. The animals protect and help her." "Hmm, keep your eyes and ears open. If you have more news I want to hear it." Ordered Tsunada. Would that be you Sakura? Why didn't you tell us? Well I know why. I'm so sorry. What have we done?
Sakura was walking in the forest by herself. She needed a few plants; what didn't grow in the greenhouses at the base. At the time no one was at the base so she went alone. She knew that in the forest she was safe. She did leave a note just in case. Well it is nice to be one my own again in the forest. Yes it is nice, we love them but sometimes they are a handful. And now we can look for the plants in peace. O look there is one! While Sakura was picking the plants she needed, she was greeted by differnt animals. She even healed a wolf cub from a nasty cut on his flank. Sakura was in her own world and she didn't notice that it was getting dark. The Akatsuki on the other hand did notice that it was getting dark and that Sakura wasn't back yet. Pein received a message from an Anbu that a Kohona Anbu was seen at the border, collecting rumours round Sakura. The rumours were lucky only about her abilities and not the way she looked. Finally they felt Sakura's chakra approaching the base.
Sakura entered the base and went straight to her lab. She needed to take care of the plants. When she made sure that everything was all right. She went to kitchen. She knew that it was past dinnertime, so she just wanted to make a quick sandwich. It's quiet, it's too quiet. Yeah, I don't like it. O boy were in trouble aren't we? Yep, start practicing your puppy dog eyes. Remember the last time we did that! Yes, but do really want them to shout at us. No, o boy. Should I do a pouty lip as well? Perhaps a few tears. Good idea. I always have good ideas. Just keep telling yourself that end perhaps someday you will believe it. Meanie. Dahm, feel all that chakra coming towards us. Wow they were really worried. Perhaps we should do things differently. No puppy dog eyes, no pouty lip no tears and get the hell out of here.
Sakura was glad that she discovered many secret passage's at the base. She was tired and hungry and wasn't in the mood for overprotective lovers. Unfortunley for her, Madera knew about the passages too and the sneaky bastard was waiting for her. Yes he was worried about her, but he knew that she could take of herself. But he also knew that Sakura was unaware of the Anbu of Kohona at their borders.
Sakura made u turn to the right and straight in Madera's waiting arms. "Hello Love, missed me?" Madera asked before he started the kiss her senseless. Well that is one way to do it. Sakura snuggled closer to Madera and moaned of the intensities of the kisses. "O I do love those wonderful sounds you make." "Hmmmm, Madera, stop it." Moaned Sakura. "O, No my cherry blossom, I'm not planning to stop any time soon."
After a heavy kissing session. Madera took Sakura to the living room. "Sakura my love, listen very carefully. Anbu of Kohona has been seen at our borders. And he was collecting information, about the woman we are protecting." Sakura became quiet and pale as a ghost. While Madera was explaining everything to Sakura the others came in the living room. When they saw Sakura sitting on the chair pale as a ghost, their worry and yes they were a bit angry, washed away. "Sakura?" said Pein. "Don't worry; they will not take you away. The Anbu doesn't know that we are protecting you. And we will make sure that they never find out." Sakura looked up and just said: "How?" Pein sat beside Sakura and wrapped his arms around her. "There will be a start of new rumours. The woman we protect is going to travel back home. The Anbu shall follow the rumours, but he will find nothing." "See, my love. They will not take you away from us. "Said Madera. Sakura could just nod.
Sweet? What if Sasuke doesn't believe the Anbu? Well the first question is, will he hear it. What is he hears it. If he hears it, it will not be sure that he will come to us and is he come's. Well not onley the Akatsuki will protect us. Kohona can't do a thing. It's not Kohona what worries me the most. It's Sasuke and if Sasuke comes so will Naruto. And, and ….. O sweet, Naruto is an idiot. He is your protection not worthy. I always believed that he was the reason we couldn't get a date. Or that everyone believed him about the time's he had to safe us. Sigh, but I still care about him. Perhaps Zetsu can find out what he was doing all along. We will ask him that in the morning. Sakura fell asleep and this time she didn't had any nightmares.
Around midnight, Kakashi and Konan returned from their mission. After the debriefing. Pein told them about the Anbu and the plan to get the attention away from Rain. Kakashi could only pray that Sasuke or Naruto would hear about this. Kakashi knew dam well that thanks to Naruto Sakura didn't had a fair change at the Leave-village. And he told this to Konan and Pein. "Kakashi, my love. You need to tell Sakura that. She needs to know the truth." Kakashi and Pein looked at Konan worried. "But will that not hurt her more, sis?" Asked Pein. "Well, yes it would hurt her. But she love's Naruto as a brother and didn't see that he was the one who was causing her trouble. Well next to the bastard, that is." Stated Konan. "Alright." Said Kakashi. "I will tell her that in the morning."
The next morning Kakashi took Sakura out for a walk. He told her what Naruto was doing to her back in Kohona. Sakura sat under a tree and started to cry. Kakashi held her close and whispered how proud he was. How she was the most beautiful, strong and powerful woman in the whole of the world. After a half hour Sakura stopped crying. Looked up to Kakashi and gave him the most beautiful smiles her ever seen. She hugged him back and told him how lucky she was to have him as a father. She would never let him down.
"Sakura, please be care full when you go out. Just watch your back and take one of the man or Pakkun with you." Asked Kakashi. "All right dad, I'll take Pakkun with me when I go out." Said Sakura. "Why not one your lovers?" Asked Kakashi. "Because sometime they drive my insane. And looking for plant and herbs while they are kissing the living daylights out of you is quit hard." Stated Sakura. Sakura looked with a huge smile on her face, when Kakashi started to chock on thin air.
That bastard, he ruined our life. I'll rip his demon out of his body with my own bare hands. I will force feed him Ramen until he explodes. No we will do nothing like that. Why not he deserves it. No we will tie him on a chair and pull his hairs out one by one. We will burn the ramen for his face. Well get a Karin clone and let him sit on Naruto's lap and let tell him that she loves him. She will tell him that she is pregnant. And then a Hinata clone will appear and let her tell him that she hates him. O my Kami, I love you. Forget the Akatsuki marry me instead. After that remark inner and outer Sakura started to laugh.
Back at Kohona. Naruto got scared. He didn't know why or how. But something deep inside him told him that there was hell to pay.
