Chapter Nine - Behind The Crimson Door
"What's the matter? You look like shit..." Kakashi said to the tired looking man, sitting beside him on the stone bench in the lovely garden of Lord Iyagaru Kusari manor.
"Really? Do you think so...?" the man grunted and leaned his head to the stone wall of the manor. "Then you have no idea how my night have been..."
"She ain't that bad... She doesn't toss in her sleep..." Kakashi began.
"But she talks! And... and..."
"And what?"
"And she showed parts... Parts from her more womanly side of her...!" the man said, almost like he have seen someone be killed.
Kakashi glanced at the man.
"You didn't... You didn't do anything towards her...?" Kakashi asked.
"Why would I? She is pregnant and I'm not like a certain man, who would screw his own student, just to satisfied his own needs..."
"Former student..." Kakashi corrected him. "And don't bring this up again, Yamato... I have finally began to forget everything about it..."
"How can you? You have been with her almost every day and you are watching her baby grow inside of her..." Yamato told him. "How can you try to forget something that stupid you did towards her...?"
"Alright... Maybe I haven't forgot it... But I have tried to..."
"Did it worked...?" Yamato looked to Kakashi.
"No... Because someone decided to bring this up again..." Kakashi muttered.
"Well exuse me..." Yamato mumbled and looked away from Kakashi who sighed.
"We need to go back, before she wakes up..." Kakashi told Yamato and looked up to the early morning sky that still was a bit pink and golden. "She can began to panic if she wakes up alone somewhere she isn't used to be..."
"Has she always been like that...?" Yamato asked and glanced to his Senpai.
"Well, not like this... She got worse, when she got pregnant..." Kakashi said and Yamato raised from the bench.
"You can wake her up... If I haven't shown up after breakfast, I have probably crashed in to the nearest broom closet..." Yamato mumbled and began to walk away from Kakashi.
Kakashi tilted his head a little to watch Yamato drag his feets after him and he disappeared around the corner of the manor. He sighed and decided that it was better to wake up Sleeping Beauty before Sleeping Beauty woke herself up.
~oOo~
Kakashi opened the door carefully and walked in to the little room that was more like a lobby then a living room.
He looked to his right to see a shoji door and he slide it open to see the pregnent, pink haired Kunoichi laying entangled in the sheets.
Kakashi couldn't remeber that Sakura had been that messy in the bed when she slept or maybe she was dreaming something that made her sleep a bit stressful. Anyway, he walked in to the bed room and stayed at the end of the bed, looking down to her.
"Sakura, is time to wake up..." Kakashi said and began to tug in the quilt.
"Leave me alone..." Sakura growled and dragged the (entangled) quilt closer to her and hide her head under the pillow.
"You will miss breakfast if you don't drag your ass out of the bed... You know how grumpy you will be if you miss breakfast..." Kakashi told her and Sakura growled once more. "Don't force me to do something, neither of us want to do..."
"You are really a pain in the ass, do you know that...?" she muttered and glanced to him under the pillow. "And I do really hate you..."
"I know that you don't mean it..." Kakashi said and crossed his arms and tapped his fingers on his left upper arm. "If you don't go up know, Yamato will kill me..."
"He is welcome..." Sakura growled and Kakashi frowned.
"Fine, stay in the bed... But don't come to me when you are hungry..." Kakashi walked out of the bed room and out from the little living room and closed the mahogany door behind him. He leand on to the wall and waited for her to change her mind, because he was pretty sure that she would do so.
Suddenly Kakashi could hear footsteps coming his way and he glanced to his left to see who that person in question was.
He was a bit surprised to see that person was just a young man (probably in Sakura's age or even a bit younger) and he was 'stunning' or eye candy (as Ino would put it, Kakashi thought). His messy ebony hair fell over the upper part of his face and covered most of his eyes, but what Kakashi could tell about this mans eyes was that his eyes was icy-blue and expressionless.
The man walked past Kakashi, like he hadn't noticed him and then he stopped.
"I haven't seen you around before..." the young man said with a careless tone. "Are you a new guard...?"
Kakashi didn't look at the young man, when he spoke to him.
"No. I'm the personal guared to Tara-Sama..."
"Oh, to my fathers guest..." the young man said. "Well, if you still want your mistress in one pice before you leave this place... I suggest you should watch her more carefully..."
"What do you mean...?" Kakashi asked and this time he looked to the young man.
"Haven't you heard...? Womens have been abducted and... and have been later found raped and killed... Womens that have been guests in this very house..." the young man said still with his careless voice. "Thought you wanted to know..."
With that, the young man walked away. He had not even bothered to turn around when he had talked to Kakashi, who find this young man really weird. Well, everything in this manor was weird.
Kakashi pushed himself away from the wall and turned to face the mahogany door. He knocked softly two times on the door. No answer.
"Sa-... Tara-Sama... Are you ready?" Kakashi asked but received no answer.
`Kuso*...!´
"Tara-Sama!" Kakashi said and knocked once more on the door and he was getting a bit worried when he still didn't get any answer or was he just being silly, to imagin that something had happen to her. She was a Kunoichi for god sake. A pregnant Kunoichi. "I'm coming in..."
Kakashi opened the door slowly and glanced to see if he could see something out of order. When he didn't see anything, he walked in to the room and looked around.
Nothing seemed to be knocked down or be putted to another place. The only thing that was a bit disturbing to him was the shoji door to the garden was 'wide' open and so was the shoji door to the bed room, but no Sakura in sight.
`No...! This can't be happening...´
Kakashi moved in to the bed room, just in case she was laying under the bed, but she didn't. He hadn't expect to find her there either.
One thing was he sure of. Naruto was so going to kill him for this and where the hell was Yamato when you needed him?
Kakashi moved out of the bed room and slide the shoji door closed and moved over to the other shoji door (that was open) and peeked out and took a look out in the peaceful garden, to see if he could find some footprints and unfortunately he didn't.
This was getting more and more disturbing to him and he didn't want to believe in that boys story, even if he right know was doing exactly the opposite.
Suddenly a scraping noise could be heard and Kakashi dragged a kunai out of his hidding waist pouch and trowed it behind him.
A thud from the kunai hitting the wall and a shriek of surprised behind him told him that he had missed, but also that he had find what he had search for.
"You freaking idiot!" a young womans voice yelled to him and he turned around a bit relieved. "You could have killed me, you fucking asshole!"
Kakashi sighed and looked down to her with a soft gaze, while dragging his hand through his unruly silver hair.
"Eh... Warui*..." Kakashi mumbed and slide close the shoji door behind him and saw how she dragged the kunai out of the wall.
"And why are you here? I thought you had left..." she glanced to him and he raised an eyebrow to her.
"Oh... Eh, I thought I heard something... so I was just checking it out..." Kakashi lied to her and this time it was her turn to raise an eyebrow.
"You heard something? And what was that, if I may ask...?"
"I-I don't really know... So, where have you been...?" Kakashi looked up to the towel wrapped pink haired woman in front of him.
"Obviously, I have been taking a shower and if you excuse me... I need to change..."
"Sakura... I'm sorry if I just barge in like that, but you should be careful and maybe not have the shoji open like that..." Kakashi told her and she frown.
"What are you talking about? Why would I want to have the shoji open? It's hot, but not that hot..." Sakura told him and Kakashi gave her a worried face expression. "Are you going to leave?"
"No..."
"No? If you are considering to began to talk about that I haven't anymore to show you, I'm not going to buy it... So leave, now!" Sakura growled and pointed to the door.
"I will not leave and you have your clothes in the bed room and I won't peek..." Kakashi told her and she frowned again.
"Okay, what is it? You look like you have seen someone sneak in to this room..." Sakura said and tugged the big fluffy towle closer to her.
"Um, nothing... You will catch a cold if you don't hurry to dress yourself..." Kakashi told her and looked away from her.
"Um... Okay... I will go and put some clothes on and if it's something wrong, I want you to tell me..." Sakura told him before she disappeared in to the bed room.
Kakashi did a quick look around the little living room and tried to see if he would find some kind of bug sitting one the furniture, fortunately, he didn't find any in this room and he would have to ask Yamato later if he could look for it in the bed room.
The shoji door to the bed room slide open a bit and Kakashi looked up.
"If you don't mind-... What are you looking for?" Sakura said and looked down to her Senpai.
"Nothing..."
"Okay... Well, you wouldn't mind helping me with the kimono?" Sakura asked, while trying to figure out what her Senpai was up to. "Well, I understand if you wouldn't care to help me... You have obviously other things to do..."
"I would loved to help you..." he cut her off and saw how Sakura moved out of the bed room and walked towards him.
He was glad to have her out here with him, so he could keep an eye better on her and the plus was that he could touch her with out she beaten the hell out of him for doing it.
"Don't tie too hard around the stomach... It's really sensitive..." Sakura mumbled to him and he nodded.
"Sorry, about what I said to you... About your stomach, you don't look that... fat..." Kakashi mumbled to her and she glanced to him.
"Eh... Thanks... I think... But you were right... That kimono did kind of show that I was pregnant and it was way to short too, so I bought some new ones..." Sakura mumbled back. "But I guess every kimono I wear will show that I'm pregnent... "
"Perhaps..." Kakashi said and tied the obi and stepped away from her. "Well, if you don't show yourself in profile, no one will ever notice..."
Sakura slapped him over his chest and he chuckled a bit and turned around towards the door.
"Breakfast?"
~oOo~
Kakashi stood outside of the dining hall (he wasn't allowed to enter), leaning on the wall and heard the chatter from Sakura and another woman some years younger then Sakura.
The other woman was just babbling on like a broken recorder and Kakashi could hear that Sakura was a bit annoyed, but the woman seemed to not care about the way Sakura tried to say to the woman (in a polite way) that she wasn't interesed. In the end Sakura gave up and let the woman keep on with her talking.
Kakashi was surprised that Sakura could hold on this long. If it had been someone else, Sakura may had just hit that person or told him/her to fuck off. Being with Sakura was sure amusing in every kind of way.
"Ohayou*..." someone said in front of Kakashi who turned his gaze to that someone.
"I didn't believe that you would wake up at all, Yamato..." Kakashi mumbled. "You still look like shit, though..."
"Well, you haven't spend some time trying to sleep in a broom closet..." Yamato grunted and rubbing his aching back. "Is she up?"
"Aaa... She is right now being terrorized by the youngest daughter of Iyagaru Kusari..." Kakashi told Yamato who looked to him.
"Really? I didn't know that he had a daughter or any child at all..." Yamato said and glanced in to the dining hall and saw a ebony haired younger woman beside Sakura, who looked like she could kill someone.
"And neither did I..." Kakashi mumbled. "I have heard that he was a eunuch..."
"Ouch... That must be a really blow to his pride..." Yamato muttered and looked back to Kakashi. "But knowing that he has a daughter, that is maybe just rumour..."
"Maybe..."
"You looked a bit troubled... Is there something you want to talk about...?" Yamato asked and Kakashi glanced to him.
"It is... But I don't think that would be suited to talk in the open..." Kakashi muttered and Yamato nodded.
"Should we say beside the old maple in the garden?" Yamato asked and Kakashi shook his head, making Yamato look confused to him.
"Somewhere we can have her close and mean time not letting her hear us..." Kakashi told Yamato.
"Is it that bad..." Yamato frowned and glanced to Sakura once more to see her almost breaking the chopsticks in her hand. "We can maybe talk about it later... I think that I need to make a move, before she kill someone..."
Kakashi nodded and watched how Yamato slipped in to the dining hall and Kakashi sighed.
He could hear Yamato bidding Sakura good morning a bit stiffly and Sakura began to talk to him, almost like he was her savior and then he could hear the softly and almost alluring voice of Hinoki.
"Good to see you Deigo-San..." Hinoki said and she putted down her tea cup to the table. "I was just thinking of taking you and your lovely wife down to show you our famous market... Would that be interesting to you? Well, I could absolutely understand if you would find it a bit boring..."
"Well, we would love too... I believe my wife would find it very interesting and I could talk to your husband about the deal..." Yamato said and looked to Hinoki.
"Unfortunately, my husband has been forced to attend to one of his cousins funeral, he will be back tomorrow..." Hinoki said and putted her chopsticks a top of her bowl. "But why don't see this as a little vacation from your business... Please, escort me and your lovely wife around the market..."
Yamato looked a bit concerned, but he didn't let it show.
"I would be honoured to, Hinoki-Sama..." Yamato finally said.
"Excellent... Be ready to leave at eleven O'clock... and don't be late..." Hinoki said.
Kakashi smirked at this. This was almost the perfect oppertunity to talk to Yamato while keeping an eye on Sakura.
~oOo~
Yamato looked down to the two womens on each side of him, one was clinging in to his arm like she possessed him and the other one was just walking beside him (still holding an arm in his), but she was far to interesed in the market.
Yamato glanced back to the silver haired guard that followed them in a careless stroll behind them, along with three of the guards from Iyagaru court.
He gave Yamato a raised eyebrow and Yamato cursed him inwardly.
"Hinoki-Sama, would you have the honour to show my wife the market more closely... I need to do some buisness alone..." Yamato said to the ebony haired woman that clung in to his arm possessively and she smiled to him.
"Oh... Of couse, Deigo-San..." Hinoki said and let go of his arm and looked to the pink haired woman beside Yamato. "Tara-Chan, your husband want some time on his own. Would you mind to join me and take a look around...?"
The pink haired woman looked to Hinoki and then up to Yamato, who nodded his approval.
"Why not..." she said to Hinoki and let go of Yamatos arm and both of the woman walked away from Yamato, followed by the three guards. "So, what has happen...?"
The silver haired guard appeared soundless beside Yamato and he glanced down to him.
"Well, apart from that this place is more then just creepy, a lot I would say..." the silver haired guard said and Yamato frown.
"Like what?" Yamato asked and they began to walk slowly along the crowded road.
"When I walked out of the room after have waking Sakura up, I encountered a strange young man... He told me something really disturbing..."
"Disturbing? In which way?" Yamato looked up to the silver haired guared who was pinching the bridge of his nose. "Kakashi...?"
"He told me that people have been killed... Well, actually not just any sort of people, womens to be more correct..." the silver haired Kakashi said and frowned a bit. "They had been raped and murdered and he more or less gave me a warning... To keep Sakura under close watch..."
"Why haven't we been notified about these murders...?" Yamato asked.
"I don't know... These murders on those womens could be connected to the court of Iyagaru... Because these womens was their guests" Kakashi mumbled and Yamato looked worried to him. "They could have it covered up, in just a short time... Like that time with the former lord..."
"You are kidding, right?" Yamato said and Kakashi shook his head. "This is going to be much more then just an assassination..."
"And there is more... I got a bit worried, so I walked in to the room again and find Sakura nowhere. The shoji door to the garden was open and I find it a bit odd, but didn't care to much about it..." Kakashi told Yamato who nodded. "And then Sakura came out after have taken a shower and I told her to not have the shoji door open like that and she told me that she hadn't open it..."
"She hadn't open it...? And before you ask, no I didn't open it before I left..." Yamato informed him. "Any sign of an intruder?"
"Nothing... Not even a bug, well I only checked the living room and I want you to check the bed room before you go to bed tonight..." Kakashi told Yamato who nodded once again.
"What about Sakura? Should we tell her?" Yamato asked and looked to Kakashi who was watching the pink haired woman beside a booth.
"No. I don't want her to be more worried then necessary..." Kakashi mumbled and Yamato didn't look to sure about his decision.
"Kakashi, she is after all a part in this mission... We can't let her stand in total darkness to what is happening..." Yamato told him. "If someone is after her, she must be notified about it..."
"You don't know her as I do..." Kakashi snapped to Yamato, who stopped to glance at Kakashi.
"Well maybe I don't, but at least I know that she wouldn't want to be left behind..." Yamato told him and Kakashi stopped too and turned around, looking a bit annoyed. "She isn't a that little Genin anymore, she is Jounin and even ANBU... You don't need to protect her like that..."
"I don't want her to know, because I want to protect her... It's more that she..." Kakashi looked down to the cobbled street and bit his lip. "She gets upset for very little and before the last mission she was bleeding..."
"Bleeding...?" Yamato looked a bit baffled.
"Aaa... From that place..." Kakashi nodded downwards.
"Oh..."
"Anyway, before we left for that mission with her, I consulted with Kurenai about it... She told me that my pregnant friend should take it easy and don't get to upset about thing that she would find upsetting... And telling her a thing like that, is upsetting for her..." Kakashi mumbled.
"So, you are telling me that Sakura was about to lose it...?" Yamato looked worried to his Senpai.
"Maybe... I'm not surprised if she was about too, she was in distress and I worked her body kind of hard... Her body was telling her to take it easy and I don't know how much it will take before it will happen to her again..."
"So, did Kurenai say something more about it...?" Yamato asked and glanced to the pink haired woman that had been dragged away to the next booth.
"Nothing more then that she should take it easy for couple of weeks forward..." Kakashi mumbled and Yamato sighed.
"She is more or less not fitted for this mission...?" Yamato asked and Kakashi nodded slightly. "This is great, she will just get in the 'way' as it's right now..."
"Do you still want to tell her...?"
"No, I guess not..." Yamato sighed once again. "This is your fucking fault! And I'm the one who is suffering, because of it..."
"I seems to have that effect on you..." Kakashi smiled. "Oh! And maybe you should buy Sakura something. It would look strange if you come back with empty hands..."
"I deeply hope that Heaven still has a place left for people like you ..."
~oOo~
"What about that one...?"
"I don't know... Too much laces on it..."
"It would look cute on a little new born girl, don't you think...? My first born daughter looked like a walking crotcheted tablecloth-..."
The pink haired woman beside the chuckling ebony haired woman, look down to the baby-pink dress on the table.
She wasn't actually enjoying this. She had (when she was much younger and Sasuke still was alive) chattering and giggling with Ino about this kind of moments, when they would look at baby clothes and other stuff like that, with their man (that was Sasuke of couse). And how everything was just perfect in their little fantasy world.
But standing here now in the present, with this woman that was more interested in the boys passing them then in the baby clothes and with an annoying father to this thing inside of her, that didn't care a shit if the child would turn out to be a goldfish instead of a human child, was more then she ever would believe could happen to her. What had happen to her dream? Her perfect fantasy?
She hated this.
"Tara..."
The pink haired woman turned around and saw a brown haired man behind her, holding out something that looked like a dark pink colored bag. She looked surprised to him.
"What is that...?" she asked him and he looked a bit troubled.
"Well... It is... It is..." he mumbled and got unnoticed elbowed in the back by the silver haired guard behind him. "It is a gift... to you..."
"A gift...?" she looked up to the brown haired man and then back to the bag in his hand.
`Why would Yamato even care to buy a gift to me...? If it isn't something else then just a gift...´
"Thank you, Deigo..." she mumbled and took the bag from Yamato's out reach hand.
"You are welcome..." Yamato said, sounding exactly as troubled as he looked like.
"Oh! Look at the time! We should hurry back to the lunch, I'm sure that your wife is starving by now..." the ebony haired woman suddenly said and looked to Yamato. "Would you mind to escort us back, Deigo-San...?"
"I would love to, Hinoki-Sama..." Yamato said and the woman Hinoki grabbed Yamato's arm and he looked to the pink haired woman. "Tara...?"
"Oh... Please, go ahead, I will catch up with you later..." she told Yamato who nodded and began to walk away with Hinoki.
She turned her head back to the baby clothes.
Somehow she was enchanted by this small clothes and she somehow, wanted to take a closer look on this clothes, alone. Feeling the soft fabric in her hand.
"Are you consider to buy something?" a deep soft voice said behind her and she jumped in surprise.
"Kakashi? God, you almost gave me a heart attack there..." she barked to him and he gave her a soft smile under his mask. "And no... I was just looking..."
"Looking, huh...?" the silver haired Kakashi mumbled and peeked down to the baby clothes over her head. "Will those really fit? They look kind of tiny..."
"That's the point... Or else they wouldn't be called baby clothes, baka*..." she growled to him.
Kakashi tilted his head, almost like a dog that was looking at something curiously and then he grabbed her shoulder.
"Well if you aren't going to buy something, we need to go back..." Kakashi told her and she bite her lip.
"Kakashi pick out something..." she suddenly said to him and she felt how his hand on her shoulder softened.
"E-Excuse me...?" he stuttered and he looked like he had find out that some one had burned all his signed Icha Icha. "Sa-Sakura... I-I..."
"I want you to pick something... I can't decide what I want..." the pink haired Sakura told him and frowned slightly.
"Sakura, we... We should go back now..." Kakashi said to her and looked a bit anxious.
"Just pick something...! Please... Sensei..." she mumbled and he glanced down to her.
"Don't call me that... I don't deserve to be called that by you..." he whispered in to her neck and she felt how her skin began to react to his warm breath, by producing goose bumps. "Don't force me to pick something to your child, something you probably would trow away anyway... It's your child after all..."
"If you... If you feel like that... Could you at least pick something as my friend..." Sakura mumbled and he gave away a sigh.
"I guess... I guess I could do that..." he told her, sounding a bit tired and walked up to her side and looked down to the many clothes in front of him. "Why so many different colors? I can't even remeber my own mother dressing me up in those kind of colors..."
Sakura giggled slightly and looked up to him.
"You know... Things have change since when you were born..." she told him and she received a snort from him. "That really reminds me how old you really are..."
"Don't be so cheeky..." he muttered to her. "What about that one...?"
"Honestly... Do you want it to be dressed in that color?" Sakura said and frowned.
"You told me that I was old, so how is I suppose to know what is 'chic'..." he told her and Sakura shook her head.
"But I don't want you to dress it like Naruto..." Sakura said and saw how he glanced over the table once more. "Just don't pick the boring black one... or the white with laces..."
"Is it you or I who was going to pick...?" he asked her and looked down to her blushing face.
"Gomen*..."
"Alright, that one will do..." Kakashi suddenly said and told the seller what he wanted and Sakura was (somehow) pleased by his choice.
"I like it... It's very... natural..." Sakura said and looked down to the little soft beige babybody with a panda bear on it, before the seller laid it in a bag and Kakashi tugged up his wallet. "What are you doing...?"
"It looks like I'm paying..." he told her and she blushed.
"You didn't have to..."
"Well..." Kakashi gave the money to the seller and handed the bag to Sakura. "...I have more money then you and it is not more then fair that I should pay for this..."
"I don't know what to say..." Sakura mumbled a bit embarrassed.
"A thank you would do just fine... Should we go back then?" Kakashi asked and Sakura nodded and they walked back to the manor.
~oOo~
"I'm soooooo tired..." Sakura sighed and fell to her back on the bed, beside her slightly stiff Taichou.
"It's only eight O'clock... You shouldn't be tired..." he said to her and glanced to her.
"But I am... This whole day have been so tiredsome..." she yawn and glanced back to him. "I should thank you again for your gifts... It was a very... good thing to have..."
"You should thank Kakashi... He was the one who thought it would look good if I had been gone alone to buy you a gift..." he mumbled. "And he was the one picking those thing to you..."
"Oh, really? Well that would explain those panties... But I liked the bra, it didn't fit yet though, but I guess it would do sooner or later..." Sakura said with a soft smile and her Taichou smiled back.
Sakura was actually in a really good mood, even if she was tired and she looked to her Taichou once more.
"So, what would our next move be...?" she asked him and he sighed.
"Who knows..." he said a bit weary. "Sakura, you should be really careful... We don't want-..."
"I will be just fine, Yamato... You don't have to tell me to be careful..." Sakura told him and he sighed again, but much deeper this time.
They were quiet for a while and the only sound that could be heard was the tapping sound from the bamboo fountain out in the garden.
"You know... I'm still standing firm about what I offered you, almost a week ago..." Yamato began and she looked to him. "If you wanted to be a part of my life..."
Sakura forgot to breathe for a slight moment and when she began to realise that she needed air, she took a very deep breath.
So he hadn't been joking back then. He had really asked her to come and live with him and Kakashi had also told Yamato that she was pregnant with someones child and it still hadn't scared him off.
Most pregnant single womens that Sakura had encountered with during her days in the antenatal clinic in the hospital, had told Sakura that most men hadn't even spare them even a glance and not even after the child was born.
So why was Yamato offering her to stay with him? Right now she didn't know and it did annoyed her somehow.
She liked Yamato, but only as a friend and if he liked her in another way, she couldn't do much about it and to be honouest, she was a bit flattered. But she couldn't say yes to his offer, even how much she felt that she needed comfort and a safe place to return to, it wouldn't be with Yamato. It was with someone else.
"I-I need some air..." she suddenly said and pushed up from the bed and walked out of the bed room, leaving a confused and even a bit surprised Yamato behind.
Yamato could hear the mahogany door close and he sighed.
Well, he had never been good with womens and obviously not with pregnant womens either. But with Sakura it was a bit differently, he liked her and he cared for her in the same way that he knew Naruto and even Sai cared for her. Well, maybe a little more then just a sister thing. She was attractive (he had notice), but that didn't mean that he would do the samething that his perv to Senpai had done to her. It wasn't really his thing to seduce a poor young woman to have sex with him and knocking her up and then let this poor young woman take this heavy burden all alone.
No, he wasn't like that and he was the one that would 'correct' his Senpai's mistake, by asking Sakura to be a part of his life, because his coward to Senpai wouldn't do it. Do it to protect her.
But Sakura was obviously, not intesested in her Taichou (why would she?). She was interested in someone that was either dead or alive and Yamato was pretty sure whom that man was, that man that still was alive.
~oOo~
Sakura walked down the lonely halls in the manor and she was a bit annoyed, confused and still even a bit surprised by his offering.
She needed to be alone for just awhile and think this throught carefully.
Sure, she was a bit tempted by his offering. She was sure that he would take care of her and even the child, but that was all he could give her. Just a home and a shoulder to cry on, but not love and she wasn't sure that the other one could give her love either, but she felt (oddly enough) things for this man, things she hadn't felt since Sasuke and he was (most likely) the father to this unborn child.
But still she didn't love him, she wouldn't accept that. He was too laid back and even annoying for her to even like him at all. He wasn't even her type for the first of all. The second thing was that he was her Sensei and third He didn't liked her or the child she was carrying.
A soft moan could be heard and Sakura stopped in her track and turned her head slightly to her right.
A crimson colored door that she never had seen before, stood slightly ajar and Sakura was about to walk away when she heard someone speak.
"...Ginrei..." a womans voice could be heard from the room with the crimson door. "What a strange name..."
Sakura recognized that voice at once and she decided to see what that woman was up to, if it could be to any use in the mission, Sakura wouldn't feel so useless to the 'boys' anymore.
She pressed herself up against the wall and peeked in to the room behind the crimson door. What she saw shocked her gravely and she didn't know if she wanted to stay or run. And in the same time she was confused.
In front of the graceful, ebony haired woman stood a silver hired man with his mask down and he kissed that womans lips with such passion he never had kissed Sakura with.
She wanted to cry. She wanted to cry so badly that she let out a croaking sound of pure devastation.
The silver hired man broke from the kiss and he looked at the door with his dark grey eye and the woman placed her soft palm on his cheek.
"Just a cat... Don't bother..." she purred to the silver hired man and she leaned in to kiss him again.
Sakura dragged her hands to her mouth and tried to stop herself from breath to fast and heavy, but it was no use and then she could see how the woman eyed back to the door and she gave away a smirk.
She had seen her!
Sakura pushed herself away from the wooden wall and turned around to run back to her room. She tried to rub away the tears, but it was no use. It kept on coming how much she just wanted it to stop.
`Why am I crying? I shouldn't be crying... He can kiss who ever he wants... But why can't I stop crying? Chikishou!* I hate her, I hate that woman...! How could you... Sensei...´

Kakashi finds out something that annoyes him and he has a little talk about it with Yamato. Sakura (on the other hand) is trying to be a bit 'civil' with Kakashi and is trying to 'bond' with him in some kind of way. Yamato trys again with his offer to Sakura who (once again) reject his offer on her own way. And now Sakura is faced with a new problem.
It may contain some spelling errors...
I was amazed that chapter 8 was a little more then 8000 words! It's the most I have write ever and I often just write about 4000-6000 words (and I think that is a lot) lol! Anyway, hopped that you enjoyed this chapter!
And some notes;
When I writes the text 'like this' it means that the person in question is thinking. When I writes like this the person emphasis just that word and when I writes like this that means flashbacks.
Mini Japanese dictionary and little more;
Baka* = Idiot
Chikishou* = Damn it!
Gomen* = Pardon (your pardon)
Kuso* = Shit
Ohayou* = Mornin'
Warui* = Sorry
