"Good morning everyone." Kakashi smiled under the mask.
"Yeah." They all muttured out.
"So, the man we captured is name Kazio, he admitied to breaking into Sakura's apartment." Kakashi started.
"I feel like there is a huge but coming. Naruto said.
"Patience, yes, but from what Ino gathered, he wasn't alone, we sent Temari and Sai to the sandvillage to retrive Sakura, she will be guarded at the Uchiha compound and not allowed to leave until this is delt with." Kakashi layed out the protection plan infront of them
"Why the hell are they after her though." Shikamaru asked.
"Well, it seems that there is a group of individuals who believe our roge ninja friend here got off way to easy, that redemption is not enough of a punishment, so since we refuse to open up a trial for him again after all these years, they decided that taking out Sakura would hurt him the most." Kakashi explained all the information Ino was able to retrive from Kazio. Sasuke was almost seeing red, Sakura was the most precious person to him, and he wanted to rip the heart out of anyone who dared to hurt a single hair on her pink head. Sasuke knew that this wouldn't be over before Sakura got home, and that she was going to want to fight this, fight all this protection details, but the main goal was to keep her safe. Sasuke left when Shikamaru and Naruto did.
"This is such a drag." Shikamaru said, placing both his hands behind his head. For once Sasuke had to agree with the shadow wielder, the whole situation was a drag, he should be preparing for Sakura and his wedding cemerony, not worrying about these indivduals hell bent on destroying him and the one closes to him.
"I'll be happy when this is over." Sasuke said. The other two nodded. Everyone went their seperate ways, Naruto back to Hinata to inform her of the situation, usually this stuff was kept top secret, but Hinata was his wife. Shikamaru went home to wait for his wife to return, Sasuke went back to the compound to wait for the woman who would soon become his wife.
Sakura was laying on her bed when she heard a knock on the door. Getting up to open it she was met with Temari and Sai.
"Hey, what are you guys doing here?" She asked, confused.
"Hey Ugly, you need to come with us." Sai said.
"Is something wrong, did something happen to Sasuke." She started to panic.
"Nothing is wrong with Sasuke, but you need to come home now." Temari urged. Sakura packed all her gear, and head out with the pair back to Konaha. They walked in silecne which made Sakura uncomfortable.
"Why am I going home so quick, whats going on?" She demanded to know.
"Sorry ugly, top secret." Sai said, turning around to give him one of his fake smiles. Sakura was starting to get annoyed why would they not tell her why she needed to return home so soon, and why the two of them where escorting her. If it was something minor Kakashi would have sent word for her to travel back alone. Whatever this is much have been major, and must have involved her. Deciding not to push it further, they all took off into a run.
It took less time then usual for the trio to get home. As soon as she stepped foot on the grounds she was met by a huge man who escorted her back to the Uchiha compound.
"I need to go home!" She prosted when she was taken inside the gates.
"You are home." Sasuke said, appearing from the shadows.
"Sasuke!" Sakura ran into his throwing her arms around his neck.
"Hey to you too." He smiled patting her back with his arm.
"Wait, what do you mean I am home?" She asked, pulling away from him.
"Well, Naruto, Shikamaru and I moved your stuff in here while you were gone." He took her hand and led her to the main house. The compound was huge, Sakura hadn't really been around since they built it.
"Sasuke, why are there guards outside the compound, and why were Sai and Temari sent to take me back?" She asked, hoping he would tell her what the heck was going on.
"Sakura, while you were gone, we went to your house to pack up your things and there was note in paint of your wall asking you to make me leave." He said.
"Oh." She said. It was time to come clean.
"Sasuke, that isn't the first time I have gotten something like that since we went public." She admited.
"You, what, why haven't you told me!" He demanded turning to to face her.
"I didn't think it was a big deal, so i didn't bother mentioning it." She shrugged removing her shoes.
"It is a huge deal! someone is threating your life!" He wouldn't let this go unitl she told him what she knew.
"Listen Sasuke, I started getting letters, notes left on my door, in my office etc, telling me I was basically playing with fire for being the girlfriend/fiancee of the tratior of the leaf." She said sitting down. Sasuke was almost seeing red again, he couldn't believe this was going on for a while and she hadn't mentioned it to anyone.
"Sakura, you are the person most precious to me, you are my life now, so if someone is threating your life, then I need to know so I can protect you!" He tried to keep his calm.
"I realize that Sasuke, and I'm sorry." She reached up to touch his face, her thumb rubbing his cheek. He sat down to explain that the man Kazio, was involved in a group of people who believed he had gotten off to easy, and that taken revenge by hurting his loved one, would somehow bring justice. Sakura listened and to his surprise agreed to the protection details.
"Thank you for worrying for me Sasuke, I love you." She leaned over to kiss him. Sasuke was happy to finally have her home safe where he could protect her.
