Bound By Torture
Chapter 7
"Gaara! Kakashi-sensei and Sakura-chan are missing!" Naruto yelled as he burst through the door to the Kazekage' office, completely ignoring the receptionist who was screaming at him to stop and verify his appointment. Gaara looked up from the papers he was currently working on to stare at Naruto with a look of pure confusion, Sai walked in and seeing Gaara's face began to laugh. "What's so funny Sai?" Naruto asked turning to stare at the young artist with a look of contempt. "There's nothing funny about Kakashi-sensei and Sakura-chan being captured by the enemy!"
"That's not what I'm laughing at dip-stick." Sai managed to get out between laughs. "I'm laughing at the look on the Kazkages face right now."
"Naruto why don't you have a seat and explain everything to me slowly and in detail." Gaara said moving the papers in his desk into a pile that was out of his way. "Is this about the camp that is suspected of hiding on the outskirts of Suna?"
"Yes it is." Yamato answered as he and Sasuke entered the room after dealing with the receptionist. "Kakashi-senpai, Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke, Sai and I were assigned to find the camp and figure out what was going on and determine what to do about it." Gaara nodded, "Kakashi-senpai is the team leader on this mission, and he decided that we should split up into 3 groups of two, Sasuke and Naruto, Kakashi and Sakura, and Sai and me. We went in three different directions to cover more ground, but we all should have passed each other a few times in our search. While we ran into Naruto and Sasuke a few times, neither of our teams had seen, nor heard from Kakashi-senpai or Sakura, leading us to believe that they were either captured or killed." Yamato finished, hating having to say that there was a possibility that his team mates could be dead.
"I see." Gaara said looking thoughtful, "Has any trace of them been found?"
"We found a kunai in the sand in one place, we have it marked." Sasuke said "Naruto show Gaara the kunai and your kunai and show him they're different." Naruto did as he was told, and explained while Gaara examined the kunai they'd found.
"And what do you think this kunai means?" Gaara asked never taking his eyes off of the kunai in his hands.
"We're not sure, but it's like no kunai I've ever seen, I think it's specially made, maybe even made by the ninja who was using it. It also supports my theory that they are planning a take over of a village or starting a village of there own." Yamato said.
"Why would this kunai support your theory about them though?" Gaara asked looking up at Yamato.
"Because every village had there own kunai, even with slight differences, none of the villages have the same kind of kunai, this new kind could be the kind they're planning to establish as there own." Yamato explained and watched as a look of understanding came over Gaara's face.
"How long do you believe the Kakashi and Sakura-chan can last in captivity and under torture?" Gaara asked.
"A couple weeks at most, but they'll be extremly weak and may have lost all sanity if they last that long. It's hard to say though, they're both extremely strong and smart, and they may be able to formulate an escape plan or send us a message of some sort. But there is still a strong chance that they won't come out alive." Yamato answered looking grim.
"How much do we know about this camp?" Gaara asked.
"You know everything we know Kazekage." Sai answered.
"What do you suggest we do?" Yamato asked.
"Keep looking I'll send my best trackers out to help you. You can either spend the night here, or you can go out and continue to search, I will brief my trackers and you will meet them at the entrance to Suna tomorrow morning at 6. You're dismissed." Gaara sounded very official as he dismissed them and called his receptionist into his office.

"Kakasi, wake up, come on wake up!" Sakura was trying to wake Kakashi up and as far as she could tell he was either a very heavy sleeper or unconscious, she hoped for the first. She punched him in the arm hard once and his eyes fluttered open, staring at her wearily. "Kashi you have to get up, I heard them talking and it didn't sound good, they were talking about there next chance to capture Gaara! They said it would be tomorrow during some public event that he would be attending." Kakashi blinked at her, one minute he had been peacefully sleeping the next she'd been talking at full speed.
He understood everything she'd just said, and he could see the panic rising in her eyes. "Sakura, Gaara will be fine, our team has most likely noticed our absence by now and are searching for us. Either they'll find us or we'll escape, but no matter what I won't let them hurt you if I can stop them." Kakashi wasn't sure was he was saying all this, but he felt like it was the right thing to say at the time.
"Kashi" Sakura hugged him tight, "What are we going to do if they don't find us and we can't escape?" Sakura asked.
Kakashi held her tight, giving her the reassurance she needed; he could feel her tears on his neck as she silently sobbed. He whispered reassuring words to her and held her tight, and she calmed down to the point of where she could talk. "We need to get out of here soon though; I don't know how much longer we can last, or how much longer they'll let us last."
"I know, but I thought all night and I can't come up with a single plan that we could use." Sakura said scowling lightly.
Kakashi coughed "I have one, but I doubt you'll go for it." He refused to meet her eyes and instantly she knew his plan.
"No! No way in hell are going to use that women to get us out of here, I would sooner die than see you and her together in any form." Sakura said glaring at him.
"It could be our only chance Sakura; we need to get out of here." Kakashi said trying to reason with her.
"No! No no no! I won't let that bitch steal the man I'm in love with, no fucking way. You know me Kakashi we will find another way, but that way is not it." Sakura said, looking him right in the eyes. After a few moments of silence on his end she realized what she had said, turning bright red she looked away from him.
"Hey Sakura look at me." Kakashi said trying to get her to mover her head back around.
"I'm really sorry Kakashi I didn't mean to say it like that, I didn't mean to say it at all…" she trailed off turning an even brighter shade of red.
He put his and on her chin and turned her head so that she was looking right at him, her eyes sparkling with unshed tears. "Sakura, I won't say I love you right now, because I'm not sure if I do. I won't lie to you right now and say it, but I think I'm starting to fall for you, but I don't necessarily love you, not in the way you love me."
Kakashi said watching Sakura carefully, picking his words with great care. Tears began their slow decent down her face and she tried to pull away but he kept a strong hand on her. He leaned in and kissed her, trying to tell her everything he couldn't say out loud with one simple motion.
She couldn't help but kiss back, she did understand what he was saying, but it still hurt in ways she couldn't even begin to explain. She loved him, that much she was sure of, but what if he didn't fall in love with her, what if he was wrong in thinking he was falling for her.
Kakashi could sense her fears, he doubts, her worries, and he tried to assure her but her mind was too stubborn to understand everything he was pouring into the kiss, he didn't even completely understand. But he was sure the Sakura was the most amazing woman he had ever met and that she was perfect in every single way he could even imagine.
Please review and tell me what you think!!
