Chapter 10

Sakura and Ino had become fast friends after Ino had found out about Sakuras life thus far, Ino had flinched at the talk about Gaara making the blonde angry at the pain Sakura went through. Ino had taken to Sakura and her strong will of wanting Ino to finish out school this being heard by her father made him over thrilled about the talk, Ino had dropped out due to having Hana a few years ago she hadn't wanted to continue that was until Sakura told her she should. Hana found Sakura to be like an auntie and wouldn't leave her side, Ino couldn't help the laughs she got as her daughter would jump into Sakuras lap at every chance she got. It had been four months since they had started their new-found friendship, Ino had this effect on Sakura making her more talkative than she had been. Bring out that hidden away girl Sakura never got to be, she started to wear makeup and dress more like a girl than she had before. Ino was good for Sakura just like Sakura was good for Ino, Sakura had become so close to Ino that at one point in time Inos father had said Sakura could move in if she wanted. Laughing it off like he was joking she didn't think much of it that was,until Sakuras father became someone she couldn't be around anymore.

He started to monitor all her calls and internet usage or on the most extreme moments of his weakness, he would fallow her around her mother would scold him telling him she was sixteen. The man didn't listen and would relentlessly demand that she stay home that her schooling be changed to online classes, he at one point said he didn't want her to go to college. At this Sakura became unable to handle him anymore, she snapped at him in a heated argument over her wanting to graduate early.

"I'm leaving I can't take this any more, your telling me I'm not allowed to go to college are you insane!?" Sakura yelled at her father her fist had hit the wall as her anger got the best of her, this making her mother flinch and her brothers back away.

"I demand you go to your room I'm your father I say what happens here not you!" Yelled an equally pissed off Kizashi darting his hand out as he grabbed her wrist, to yank her to her room her mother's eye went wide at the grip he held on her baby girl.

"Kizashi please calm down this isn't you?Whats gotten into you?" Mebuki cried out trying to get her husband to stop this whole mess.

"She is to never leave this house, I don't want her near any one I don't approve of and that means that slut friend of hers Ino." He snapped his head back to glare at his wife who know held Naruot back along with Hinata's help.

"You let her go dad right NOW!" Naruto bit out in his loud voice but this time it was filled with anger.

"Sakura is to never speak to Kakashi again nor is she to spend time outside of this house, I am her father I say what goes tell the day she turns eighteen she belongs to me and her mother!" Yelled out Kizashi slamming his fist into the wall and dragging a distraught Sakura to her room, throwing open the door and pushing her in as he closed it behind her and locked it.

"She is to not leave her room for anything other than dinner and bathroom brakes that's it, PERIOD!" Kizashi narrowed his eyes at Mebuki who was in tears as he walked off towards the front door, slamming it behind him as he left going kami knows where.

Sakura sat on her floor asking her self how this could have happened and then it hit her, Kakashi had come here for her and her father must have figured it all out by now. Sakura couldn't help the whimper that came from her lips she teared up not able to stop them from falling, she could hear Naruto yelling at their mother and Mebuki whimper in the back ground. She thought on this she was almost seventeen she would be locked in her room for a year and some months, this didn't sit well with her at all she could easily take down the door thanks to her strength. But in the end she didn't want her mother to lose two children, she bit back her tears that had not yet spilled out and came up with a lie she knew she could tell her father. Later that night he had come home unlocking the door to her room he walked in, he sat down at her desk eyes fixed on her as she stood there motionless.

"Father?" Sakura said in a sweet tone of voice, trying to hold down the bile that threatened to come up at her lie.

"Yes Sakura?" Her father whispered out sounding remorseful.

"I promise you I will never speak to Kakashi again, but I would like to keep my friendship with Ino. She's been an amazing friend to me since I got back, I promise I wont disobey you again just please let me keep her as a friend." Sakura cried out she sank to her knees in trying to keep the lie going she shed tears that made him wince, he looked at her searching for any sign of deception but when he found none he smiled.

"I knew a hard parenting hand would turn you around, you keep your promise to me and you can see Ino anytime you want. But if you lie to me just once Sakura Haruno I promise you this, I will lock you up in this house for the rest of your natural boy life am I clear?" Kizashi said in a stern tone making Sakura flinch visibly, Kizashi smirked thinking he had won this little war.

"Yes father I promise not to go against your orders." Sakura said calmly looking at him with her faked sad eyes, her father smiled at this getting up from the chair at the desk he went to hug her.

"I love you Sakura that's all I just want whats best for you, and that's not a Hatake trust me on this one ok." Kizashi said as he hugged her close to him stroking her hair as he did so.

"I love you to dad." Sakura said holding back the anger and making her voice as sickly sweet as she could.

Kizashi wasn't the wiser as he let his daughter go walking out of her room down the hall to his and his wife's room to sleep, that's when Sakura walked down to were Kakashi once slept and tried to open the door. Only to find that his room had been cleaned out and turned into a study room, Sakura held back a sob has she fell to her knees confused and upset as to what to do next.

Naruto had heard the conversation and had called Kakashi to inform him of what was happening, Naruto was a major supporter of his sister and his ex brothers love he wanted them happy. So Naruto being the goofy guy he was held Kakashi with a plan they were both sure would work out, or at least they hoped it would work out. Naruto hung the phone up only to hear sobbing coming from Kakashi's old room, he slowly got up to see who it was and there lay Sakura curled into a ball crying. He bent down resting his hand gently on her shoulder only to have her flinch away from him, his eyes darkened with anger at the man he called father knowing this was his fault.

"Sakura?" Naruto whispered her name softly trying to get her to sit up to talk.

"..hic.." Sakura only sobbed more sounding defeated with every shaky breath she took, her body wrecked with shivers as she sobbed harder and harder.

Naruto was in shock his sister the once strong girl he loved and adored was now broken, crying and gasping as her body shook violently from her sobs. Toya must have heard something from his room he came walking in with a comic book in hand, but dropping it as he saw his sister curled up Naruto by her side trying in vain to sooth her sadness. Toya walked over to his twin sister picking her up into his arms, they walk out of Kakashis old room and into Toya's room shutting the door behind him.

Naruto and Toya hugged Sakura in the most protective and loving hug she had ever felt, Sakura's sobs lessened after about an hour of crying and shaking from her sadness. Naruto reached out brushing her hair way from her pale swollen face, he grimaced at the site that was before him. Sakura's eyes were pale and distant her cheeks flushed and stained with tears that had been cried, her lips swollen from biting them to the point that blood was staining her teeth. Toya was as shocked by her look as Naruto but a bit more so since he didn't know why this was happening, when Naruto pulled out his phone to dial a number he had never seen before he was struck with the reality of what was going on.

"Ino I need you to come here and pick Sakura up now." Naruto whispered into the phone, Toya cocked his head in confusion of why Naruto asked Ino to pick up Sakura.

"I'm on my way but what happened?" Ino questioned over the phone sounding worried.

"Just hurry up please." Naruto said in a serious voice he hardly ever used.

"Naruto why are you having Ino come by?" Asked Toya in a stern voice sounding almost like his own father.

"We are getting Sakura out of here Moms already agreed before dad came home, Sakura just had to lie to him like we knew she would just to keep the peace." Naruto said in a hushed tone a serious look plastered on his face still, than came a knock at the window of Toyas room.

"Ino come in but be careful." Naruto motioned for her to crawl through the window pushing it opened for her to enter.

"Okay so is anyone going to tell me what the hell is going on and why is Sakura crying like that?" Ino whispered in an annoyed tone at the other blonde looking to her friend in Toyas arms crying and near passing out.

"Bad things went down I will tell you on the phone tomorrow but I need you to get Sakura to your place, dad's hit the all and she needs to be out of his reach for now I will walk you and her back to your place." Naruto walked over to Toya pulling Sakura up into his arms, as Toya grunted his displeasure of this he too stood up.

"I'm packing her a bag before you walk her out of here, I may not have been thrilled that she was back but now I understand why she left. I love her she my sister and I will do anything I can to help protect her, I'm going to walk with you two down to Inos I can't just let you take the fall by yourself." he told Naruto as he walked out of the room and into Sakuras picking up enough clothes for her to wear for months.

Naruto,Ino and Toya walked down the road with a sleeping Sakura in Narutos arms, she had succumbed to sleep moments before leaving the house sobbing even in her sleep. Naruto held her tight trying hard not to grit his teeth in anger, all they could do was protect her all they wanted was to let her live. So Naruto and his mother talked and come to this little conclusion that her being away from everyone would be best, that her father had become to over protective and needed time to cool down.

"Naruto what do you think he will do when he finds out Sakuras gone? I mean wont he go right to Inos and find her?" Toya asked in an all to concerned voice making Naruto flinch thinking about it, than Ino spoke up to calm them down.

"Actually guys we are going out-of-town for a year to Tokyo in a few hours my dad needs to help out a company that just started up again, I forget the name but it used to be a big company a long time ago. So really there is nothing to worry about we live in like an hour Sakuras already got her stuff with my dad, so no worries right I will call your mom and you Naruto-kun when we arrive safe and sound." Ino blushed slightly at Naruto who's eye brows rows at his new nick name.

"I understand Ino thank you and please do I don't want to lose contact with either of you." Naruto smiled with a slight blush on his tan face even Toya noticed this but kept it to himself to ask at a later time.

Naruto, Ino and Toya arrived at the house with Sakura still fast asleep in Narutos arms Inos father stepped out of the house, his eyes shone with something the boys never had seen from their own father. Pride he had pride for his daughter who had helped a friend in need making a good point to her own child, that when life gets you down and you think you got no one around look to your friends for they shall be there for you.

"Ino sweetie I'm so proud of you for helping out Sakura don't even have enough words to tell you how proud I am, you Ino have proven you're a good friend and mother to show your child this that's being an adult." Her father cooed out as he hugged her to him pride written all over his face and in his actions, he turned and held out is arms for Naruto to place Sakura in them he did just that.

"Naruto I got the call from Mebuki about this a few hours ago I will let Sakura know when she wakes whats going on, I am so sorry that your family is going through a rough patch and do hope it gets better." Inoichi told the blonde with a bright smile hardly seen by anyone outside the home.

Naruto nodded his head in understand reaching out he patted Sakura kissing her on the cheek and started to walk away, Toya did the same with a simple wave of his hand they were both gone. Inoichi looked down at the pink heard girl in his arms and felt an instant bond with her, he would protect her while she was with him and his family. Ino yawned and dragged Inoichi back into the house grabbing the last bit of what they needed, bringing it out to the car making sure Sakuras things were in the car as well.

An hour later Kizashi awake to see his daughter gone from their home his heart clenched at least until he and his wife talked, she informed him of her choices on the matter Kizashi put a hole in the wall from anger. This made Mabuki want to leave and not for a few hours but for good, her husband's anger was becoming worse with the switch in power over at his company. The boy who had attacked Sakura a few years ago and taken his father's place at the head of the company, and was doing all he could to make the Haruno family suffer for taking Sakura way from him. His threats weren't all at work either he made it so they couldn't pay their bills on time or that the houses mortgage wasn't being taken care of, Sasuke had told Kizashi all he had to do was give him Sakura and all would be done. Now he couldn't do it he couldn't give Sakura to him to save his home, what would he do should he tell his wife yes he would tell her and she would understand.

"Mebuki I need to know where she is, if I let Sasuke marry her our financial problems will be over with." He blurted out trying to get his wife to stay with him saying anything so that she would understand the tight spot he was in.

"He said what!?" Mebuki yelled slamming her hands on the table in a fit of anger.

"He threatened to keep my pay from us, to take the house cause we can't pay the mortgage Mebuki we are in so much trouble with money right now." He cried out trying to talk her into this telling her it would be a great idea.

"She's not something to be sold off as black mail payment, I refuse to let you have her to sell her off to that rapist!" Yelled Mebuki as her face came with in inches of his face as she screamed how stupid he was.

Mebuki packed up her two sons and Hinata who was clueless about everything that was going on, she just went along with what her adoptive mother said tailing behind Naruto and Toya to get into the car. She sat next to Toya making Naruto flinch at the cold atmosphere in the car, he had dated her for a year before things ended for them in a bit of a disaster. He had pretty much been everything he could be for her the perfect boyfriend, but the lack of emotion from her made the relationship fail. Hinata at one point of a kissing match had whimpered out Toya's name, this made Naruto resent him a bit but not enough to hate him or Hinata for that matter.

A few days had passed Sakura, Ino and her other two family members had made it to Tokyo safely. They had finally finished unpacking their things when a knock was pounded on the front door of the house they were renting, Inochi went to answer the door when it flung opened and in walked the one and only Kakashi Hatake.

"Kakashi!?" Sakura yelled out surprised about him being the one at the door, her face lite up for the first time in a couple of days.

"Inochi I assume everything is to your liking?" He asked the blonde man as he walked past him and stood in front of Sakura.

"Yes Mister Hatake, and might I add what a surprise it is to see you here." Inochi inquired his eyebrows raised.

"I came to see Sakura too you know Naruto called me and told me what was going on, I was thrilled to find out that she was going to be here with you. I would like to offer Sakura Haruno a job if she wants it that is, it involves going to college to become a nurse?" He said looking to her with a tinkle in his eyes as she nodded her head yes over and over again, he smiled at her scooping her into his arms for a long hug that was way over due.

"I missed you to Kakashi a whole hell of a lot." Sakura cried out as he squeezed her some more she let out a strangled laugh, as he pressed his face to her neck and took in her sent.

"I have so much to tell you blossom I cant wait to catch up with you, but for now I need to take my leave and Inochi let no one near my Sakura do you understand?" Kakashi said with an edge to his voice making the other man straighten and nodded his understanding.

"I swear no harm will come to her while she is here." Inochi said standing straight as if he were a military man taking orders from a general.

"Good Sakura I will see you later and on that I take my leave good day Inochi and family, blossom be safe alright." Kakashi did his little eye crinkle that she hadn't seen in quit some time, waving his goodbye he walked out he front door shutting it as he left the house to get back to work.

"Well he's a lot of fun." Ino joked out loud making both Inochi and Sakura loosen up and laugh at how stiff Kakashi looked in a suit.

Kakashi walked out to his limo getting in the back as his driver drove away the sent of Sakura lingered on his shirt, making him visibly relax for the first time in three years now. He sighed thinking of all the things he was going to have to tell her, and worried about the things she would tell him. His driver took his time getting to the office seeing as the famous Hatake was known to be late to everything, he had picked up that habit when Sakura moved away to that damned school. He had just never really been the same since she left more quiet and kept to himself, he had started to read what he would call romance novels but to everyone else it was porn. He got a kick out of the looks people would give him while he walked around with his Icha Icha books in hand, the whole office had been in an uproar the first time he had done this woman would gasp in horror. Men would smirk and ask which book he was on, all of this was just fun for him but he knew the hard work he did with his father's company was worth it so when the book went away everyone knew it was serious time.

The driver had stopped the car putting it into park as he got out to pull the door opened for his boss, Kakashi had beat the man to it though he never liked having people tend to him like that. The man had been his friend for years so having him as a body guard and driver was a bit awkward at first, his friend snorted at him in annoyance once more at losing to him but shrugged it off.

"So that was Sakura?" His tall male friend with a bowl cut hair style and bushy eye brows asked, his bright smile nearly blinding poor Kakashis good eye.

"Yes I have a request for you and one of your students." said Kakashi leaning against the car folding his arms over his chest.

"Oh and what can we do for you sir?" The tall man asked still trying to blind Kakashi with his smile.

"Guy I want you and Lee to look into protecting Sakura and the Yamanaka's, Inochi is a strong man and can protect himself but having three girls that can't fight under his care I'm not thrilled with." Kakashi said looking at the man known as Guy who to his horror was now smiling even brighter.

"I will do this for you my most youthful of friends, my student and I will keep your youthful family same." Guy said in his normal booming voice making Kakashi wince in pain as his ears felt like they could bleed.

"Good now let's get going I have people to scare with my choice of reading." Kakashi said with a smirk and an evil laugh left his masked lips.

A/N: well I hope you all liked this chapter and yes Sakura is now sixteen years old and yes her father was an evil jerk, but Karma will get to both sooner or later. I look forward to your Reviews and I loved reading the ones that I did get I am happy your all happy with my story.
