A/N: Well here you go, just for everyone that is still watching me waiting for this... love you all...

"Kaigara?"

"I don't want to talk to anyone Sasuke" Kaigara didn't even stop pacing the clearing or look at him. He sighed leaning against the tree and closing his eyes. "I said I don't want to talk to anyone"

"I know Kaigara, but I know that you are just lying" Kaigara froze and Sasuke opened his eyes. She was looking at him with a rather angry shocked look on her face. Sasuke didn't even smirk like he would have normally. He simply sighed and sprung into the tree. "Don't let it get to you, not that I know what it is" He sighed slightly before pushing off the branch and heading back to the compound.

-~- Anywhere Part 8 -~-
-~-A New Beginning-~-

Kaigara had been pacing for what seemed to be hours now muttering things to herself about Kabuto and how annoying Uchiha was. After a while she collapsed at the base of a tree sighing slightly. She looked up at the sky and watched as the blue changed colour slowly matching in with the setting sun. A golden haze was coming from her left where the sun actually was sitting. She could see it through the trees and over the top of the Uchiha compound. The was a rustle to her right and without thinking Kaigara jumped up regretting not bringing her kunai pouch with her. She was surprised to hear a dog bark followed be Akamaru appearing in front of her. Moments later Kiba joined the large dog smiling weakily at Kaigara.

"What are you doing here?" Kaigara's voice was still cold and Kiba was obviously hurt from it, which made Kaigara feel even worse. "Kiba, I'm sorry, I'm just a little...you know"

"Not really" Kaigara sighed. He had a point no one knew why she was feeling how she was. She sighed slightly and turned away from Kiba looking at the sun again. "I, I want to understand."

Silence

"I've been worried all day, Sasuke told me to leave you alone, but, I didn't like seeing you cry like that"

Silence

"I want to help Kaigara"

Silence. Kaigara was listening to everything, she just wasn't in a talking mood. She hadn't shared this with anyone and a small crush on Kiba wasn't going to change that.

"Please Kaigara, let me help"

"What would you know about this, you wouldn't know anything, you're a guy you will just cheer him on, you don't know how much it hurts, how dirty I feel, none of you do" Kaigara had spun around facing Kiba again on the verge of yelling at him. "You will do it to me one day, so will everyone else, I hate you all, I hate everyone"

"Kaigara shut up"

"No Uchiha" Kaigara spun again this time glaring into the raven eyes of Sasuke. Surprisingly his glare softened and his faced returned to its emotionless self. "What are you doing?"

"It's better to let you get it out, then I will have my go" Sasuke lent against a conveniently placed tree. Kaigara begun to shake with rage. She hated him, she hated him more than anything.

"Uchiha Sasuke, I hereby end this pathetic excuse for a mission, I hereby choose to go home and I don't give a flying fuck what..."

"I think thats enough" Sasuke butted in, and in good time, Kaigara was about to blow their cover by saying Orochimaru, which, would have posed great difficulty to get out of. Thankfully, Kaigara now realised.

"I don't think you understand, I'm going home, away from you and where that stupid snake can get to me. I'm going back to that safety of my family" Kaigara was on the verge of crying. She had no family, no one cared about her, she was....alone. "I hate you, I hate you I hate you I hate you I hate you I hate you I hate you I hate you I hate you I hate you" Kaigara collapsed to her knees covering her face and continuing to mutter 'I hate you' as tears fell down her face.

"Kaigara, I think it's time to get back home and for you to get some sleep"

"NO I HATE YOU" Sasuke sighed and looked at Kiba who actually looked...sad. He hadn't seen this dog boy's expression this sullen...ever. Sasuke sighed again and looked at the pathetic form of Kaigara on the floor.

"Then you can go back to him" Sasuke sighed. Kaigara knew who he meant. How she was going to react to his knowing was a different argument all together and one he hoped she didn't want to start with Kiba there. "It's your choice, you can stay here with Kiba and I or you can go to him and I'm sure he will be pleased" Sasuke noticed Kaigara shudder slightly and within seconds she was in Kiba's arms crying onto his shoudler. Sasuke just smiled and nodded his head towards the compound.

"Bring her" Sasuke entered the house followed by Kiba carrying Kaigara. Akamaru had decided to lie down outside. Kiba set Kaigara down but she refused to let go so he sat next to her watching Sasuke the whole time.

-~- Later -~-

Kaigara finally sat upright and looked at Sasuke who sighed and closed his eyes. Kiba snuck a glance outside and saw the sun had well and truly set and there was a wonderful view of the full moon shinning in through the window.

"Now Kaigara, would you care to explain?"

"No" Kaigara pushed herself away from Kiba and glared at Sasuke for suggesting such a stupid thing. "I don't wish to talk to anyone, I hate you all"

"Kaigara" Kaigara's eyes went wide at Sasuke's voice. Once again it was the cold tone that made her crumble, the thing she was afraid of, it was amazing how a voice could do that to her. "Explain" Kaigara nodded and closed her eyes looking down at the ground.

"I got a note from Kabuto yesterday, he said that he missed me and he wanted to see me again and tell me what Orochimaru was planning to get Sasuke and I back. I agreed to go and see him but when I got there....he had no information."

"Continue"

"He asked me..."

"Kairgara" Kaigara's eyes went wide. Her mind flashed back to the hut and Kabuto sitting there watching her. Sasuke had sounded like him and the unwanted memories came back. Kaigara turned to Kiba almost forced him to hold her close, not that he minded.

"He asked me....t-to take o-off my c-clothes"

"HE WHAT" Kaigara jumped away from Kiba as he exploded. Kaigara looked at the floor keeping her attention from everyone.

"Kiba, please"

"Sorry, Kaigara, come on" Kiba opened his arms and Kaigara headed between them liking the safety she felt with Kiba. "Can you continue"

"I'm sure you can guess what happened" Kaigara shook her head and tears begun to fall. She turned her head so her sobs were muffled into Kiba's shoulder. "I feel dirty, I hate myself, why, why do I let him do that"

"You have no power over Kabuto, neither do I, neither did I, the only one that has that is Orochimaru"

"And Kimimaru, he did to, until he got sick" Kaigara snapped at Sasuke who nodded. Kiba now looked confused but decided to ignore it.

"Kaigara, do not go and see him again"

"I can't help it, if I calls for me again, I can't not go, he will..."

"Kai, you will have to trust me" Kaigara nodded slightly before snuggling further into Kiba's arms and falling asleep. She didn't get much the night before. Kiba watched her a moment before remembering Sasuke was sitting there.

"I'll take her up to her room, then leave"

"No" Kiba blinked at Sasuke who had turned his attention outside. Kiba sighed guessing that Sasuke wanted him to leave now. "Take her to her room and stay with her, she needs someone she cares about now, and I do not qualify for that" Kiba nodded slightly and lifted Kaigara bridal style. "If anything happens..."

"I understand" Kiba nodded to Sasuke before carrying Kaigara upstairs. He headed into her room and laid her down covering her with a blanket before sitting in the corner of the room watching her. He sighed slightly still a little very confused with the situation.

"Kiba, come back and hug me" Kai's voice was quiet and tired. He did as she asked lying down with his arms around her as she drifted back to sleep on his chest. How she could trust a guy after what had happened to her was a miracle.

-~- 1 month later -~-


Hey,

I've been here in Konoha for 2 months now, or at least about that. Sasuke seems to have given up keeping me and Kiba away from each other and I finally think I'm ready.

I wasn't ready...after that night, because, I just didn't feel right. I was to scared of getting hurt and Kiba understood but now, I think I am finally ready to get in a relationship. The, now, 7 notes I have received from Kabuto have been answered by Sasuke each time, I believe he is getting annoyed at that.

As annoying as Sasuke is all the time, I should thank him for it. But then again, we will wait and see what he has to say about Kiba and I, I doubt that will be a walk in the park. I might talk to Sasuke first, see what he says.

Well, this was short lived but I have people to see and places to go. Laters!

Kai closed the little book and headed down into the lounge room where he saw Sasuke sitting seemingly asleep. Thanks to all of Kabuto's messages he hadn't been able to get much sleep. Training, missions, Kabuto and Orochimaru were taking a toll on him. Kai sighed and sat in front of him smiling weakily.

"Kai?"

"Sasuke"

"No"

"What?" Kai sighed and closed her eyes. She heard Sasuke laugh slightly so she opened them again and saw him shaking his head. "What are you laughing about, do you really enjoy ruining my life?"

"No" Sasuke laughed again before sitting forward. "I was joking, go on ask" Kai eyed him slightly before blinking. Sleep really had taken a toll on him. He was laughing and being nice, but this was time to take advantage of it.

"Why are you being nice" 'wrong question' Kai mentally slapped herself but waiting for Sasuke answer. After nothing but silence for 5 minutes Kai gave up. "Fine, I want to date Kiba."

"The Mission"

"It won't interfere, I will even start going to see Orochimaru-sama"

"I will hold you to that, now get out of here" Kai nodded and stood up heading outside into the fresh air for the first time in 3 weeks. It didn't take long for Kai to find Kiba who was training with Hinata and Shino in a clearing he had showed her. Kaigara waited until the right moment where she proceeded to jump from the bushes latching herself around Kiba's neck. Kiba screamed at the sudden added weight and collapsed to the ground.

"Kai?"

"Heya Kiba" Kai smiled sweetly standing up and brushing herself off just as Shino and Hinata stepped out. "Hey guys, Kiba fell down and screamed" Kai turned to Kiba and smirked before holding out a hand. Kai heard Kiba grumble something before standing up.

"Come on Hinata, give these two a moment" Shino muttered turning on Kai and Kiba. Hinata nodded and turned following him. Once they were far enough away that Kaigara couldn't sense their chakra she turned to Kiba.

"Thats the most I've heard Shino talk, since I got here"

"Why did you come out here?" Kai was shocked, and a little worried. Kiba seemed angry at her for coming out to say hello. She sighed and closed her eyes looking away, she even shuffled herself slightly so she was further away. Kiba noticed this and quickly pulled her in for a hug. "I didn't mean that, I mean, you haven't been outside in 3 weeks, and now, you are outside, I was just wondering why"

"I can't sit inside for the rest of my life" Kai muttered still feeling odd. Kiba smiled weakily resting his head on hers. Silence filled the clearing as the two stayed motionless. "I-I'm sorry K-Kiba" Kiba jumped and looked down at Kaigara.

"Don't cry Kai" Kiba knelt down in front of her and wiped the tears that had already fallen down her cheek. "Come on Kaigara, please don't cry" Without talking Kaigara bent down pulled out a kunai from Kiba's kunai pouch and closed her eyes. "Kai, what are you doing?" In one short movement the Kunai left Kai's fingers slicing through a bush. The sound of it hitting a tree followed.

"Kiba, come with me" Kai led Kiba in the direction of the Kunai and stopped before a rather pathetic looking blonde shinobi trying to pull the kunai from the tree. Kai smirked seeing it pierced through his jacket right next to his neck. "Uzumaki Naruto" The blonde jumped and turned to Kaigara and Kiba eyes wide.

"I wasn't spying on you, I wasn't I was just training, and I didn't mean to come across you guys so I was just leaving and then this Kunai just appeared out of nowhere and if I had of taken one more step I would have been dead, it would have cut through my neck and..." Naruto continued rambling on as Kaigara watched eye brows raised in sheer confusion.

"Naruto shut up" Silence filled the area as Kaigara rubbed her head as if fighting back a headache. "You have been following me since I left the Uchiha compound, I don't care, get out of here" Kai turned and left the area heading back into the clearing.

"Kiba, can you" Kiba nodded to Naruto and moved forward to take the Kunai lodged into the tree. After removing it they both looked where it had been seeing a deep hole. If the tree had have been thinner then the kunai it would have gone straight through it. "I don't want to get on her bad side"

"Naruto?"

"Yeah?"

"What do I do about Kaigara, I don't know what to do"

Kaigara sighed waiting for Kiba to come back. She had guessed Naruto had asked for help removing the kunai, she had got it rather well lodged into the tree. Finally he emerged placing the Kunai back in his pouch. He sat next to Kai as silence filled the area.

"Kai, would you like to...go out to...dinner with me?"

Finally something happening between them... sigh
