Ah...heh. I realized I haven't done a chapter in like a few months but I got a favorite on the story again so I felt the muse pulse back into me. Enjoy and Review!!

The silver haired jounin could feel circulation bind up in his arms as the rope held him tightly to the tree. The ropes burned a light blue glow and Kakashi could tell that these were no ordinary ropes.

They were chakra binding ropes, maybe even chakra sucking ropes. He could feel his energy deplete but being who he was—a ninja—he never gave up. Though he didn't let his energy waste by struggling.

The two side kicks had stuck back with him leaving the leader and Sakura alone. Kakashi knew it. He had seen the look in that man's eyes and being a man himself the copy nin knew exactly what was going on. His headband was covered over both eyes and he felt a connecting sucker- punch to his jaw. He gritted his teeth as he heard Sakura scream. A gloved hand gently wandered to his pocket… a small crack came as a foot kicked his hand. Kakashi gasped withdrawing his hand as the foot lifted.

"No use trying anything, Hatake."

One of the man's grisly voice hissed at him. Sakura's screams grew louder and it was obvious she was in dire pain. Sakura… Kakashi was left panting as attacks came at him unknowingly. He could just barely hear the swishes in the wind of a foot or fist however, he would lack the space to move. Sobs of the young pink haired girl grew softer making Kakashi hold his breath trying to hear her. His own heartbeat throbbed in his eardrums making him tightly squeeze his eyes trying to make the pain numb away.

Kakashi had to do something. His arms once again tensed against the ropes though their grip was like an iron vice. 'Haha, you like that Hatake?' Kakashi hissed under his breath making a tense face under his mask. Was Sakura…was she…still alive? The men started to leave where he was.

Kakashi tensed again, they wouldn't go after her again? What if they took her? He listened hearing footsteps drown out of Sakuras cries and whimpers. They left her. Bastards.

Taking a breath the silver haired ninja relaxed and held his hands behind his back. He hoped this would work…

A loud buzzing noise came from behind him, his hands glowing a light blue, making incredibly high pitched noises. The jutsu of a thousand birds. A large crack came from behind the man making a large hole in the tree trunk making the ropes that binded him loosen. In half a second he was up on his feet, his headband above both eyes.

Stealthily, the ninja glanced around. No sign of anybody. The forest was silent of humans… the cries of a young girl making nature stir around them.

Kakashi turned the tree leaving the ropes behind as he blinked in the clearing. There was a tiny pool of blood but Kakashi suspected it wasn't from a skin cut. Not too far away was a young girl naked about the forest.

Her pale fair skinned body glittered off the moonlight that was dwindling down. Pink hair was scattered all over the hidden face of the ninja. Her legs lined hairline rivers of blood that pooled from the bottom of her apex.

The man fisted his hands and quickly took off his black under shirt revealing his face. He cared not anymore. With the case that his pupil was in he would take any risk.

He moved closer trying to block out the fact that she was naked. He knelt his eyes soft and sad a voice escaping him just barely audible,

"Sakura…. I… I-I'm so sorry."

The ninja lifted her head the pink mess sticking to her cheeks and in between her eyes. She cared not that she was naked though tears streaked down her face as her limbs trembled gently.

Kakashi hesitated but let his arm wrap around her and take her closer to him as she smelled like sweat and heat.

The girl was speechless her breath catching over itself as she felt the pain between her legs keep throbbing. Feeling the touch of another humans skin upon hers made the young girl jerk back gently and whimper in fear her eyes squeezing shut. Sakura had barely any energy to move without hurting a sore spot. Though she could sense a feeling within her grow warmer. She was literally and physically warm though mentally she was shutting out the world, her mind gone blank and cold. She grabbed onto whatever was warm and Kakashi's chest was warm enough. A smooth substance of a shirt started to pull over her head and she could tell Kakashi was trying to get her dressed. She willingly agreed, her tears still shedding as she shivered.

The black shirt came down to her mid thigh the sleeves too long and the neck piece looking like a turtle neck as it hung loose around her collar bone. It smelled like Kakashi… And for a moment Sakura hesitated her frame shaking gently. Her body sat rigid held up by her sensei. What if… he tired that one her?

What if this man she had known and trusted so long tried to pull the stunt she had never thought was possible. The girl inwardly kept repeating the word 'no' her head shaking a little. She couldn't bare to think of such things.

Mentally scolding herself she knew that would never happen. She breathed in and out shakily her legs still trembling. The tears still fell as if they were on autopilot her mind on cruise control. She was physically battered although inwardly she felt worse.

However, she couldn't think of it much longer. The more she thought, the more she started to shake, and finally she let out a sob.

Kakashi let his hand grip tighter on her shoulder, holding her shaking frame. The jounin felt automatically obliged to do his duty to his teammate. Sakura needed help now. Physically and especially mentally. He blinked carefully until his eyes closed gently his mind thinking thoroughly. He still had to worry about Naruto and Sauske. Those ninja had spoken about getting to his other teammates and eliminating one—Sauske.

Opening his eyes Kakashi gently pulled his forehead headband down on the Sharingan. He knew what to do.

Carefully, he let go of Sakura whose eyes were still closed, her frame continuing to tremble. He swiftly pulled out a kunai and a paper bomb and sloppily wrapping it against the weapon. Being a jounin Kakashi wasn't at all of a loss. He had taught his students well, and they grew to be acknowledgeable. Or at least he hoped.

His body jumped to a tree his feet sticking to the tree skillfully as he rapidly climbed it until he reached the top. He was at the canopy and he could feel the paper bomb get dangerously hot. With up most strength he threw the kunai unto the blackness of night.

By the time the knife had exploded Kakashi was already off running toward the Hidden Leave Village a trembling teammate in his arms.
