~A Family We Will Be~

Chapter 9

As Sakura stands out numbered her heart and thoughts travel out to certain jounins, hoping they find her soon.

"Well Haruna-san, your life ends here" – Kaede starts charging at Sakura.

"I must say for an old lady you planned things out pretty well…" – Sakura said with a smirk.

Kaede and Kano looked at Sakura confused and wondered why Haruna didn't look scared at all.

"The only thing that went wrong on your plan is that you captured the leaf village's 5th hokage's apprentice! – Sakura yelled out with pride.

Right then and there Keiji and Hiroshi both arrived late after securing a bright future for Akio (gold fish).

"Forgive our lateness Kano-sama, we had some matters to attend to first" – Keiji

"Better late than never I suppose" – Kano sighed keeping in mind to find more useful henchmen next time.

"Ah, the Konoha village's hokage's apprentice, huh…" – Kaede said a bit amused.

"You better watch it old Lady, I wouldn't want you to run out of breath…" – Sakura said with sarcasm.

"Oh really? Let's see you try?" – Kaede

Then before Sakura managed to hit Kaede she was tackled by Keiji and Hiroshi.

"Gomenasai Haruno-san, but we have to do what our bosses tell us to do" – Hiroshi

"Hiroshi! Don't apologize to the victim" – Keiji yelled

"Oh I have to at least own manners to live a successful life" – Hiroshi

"Fine whatever just hurry up and perform the jutsu" – Keiji

As they were holding Sakura they performed a jutsu making it impossible for her to move. With Sakura in a kimono it was hard to escape their grasp.

"Good, now all that's left for me to do is diminish your chakra" – Kaede smiled.

At that instant Sakura felt a flow of evil energy within her body. Kaede smiled knowing that Sakura's chakra had disappeared and she took a kunai and stabbed Sakura right in her stomach. Sakura screamed at the pain with rage and anger. Kano then slapped Sakura across the face leaving marks as red as blood on her.

"So Sakura, it looks like this is the end for you and your pretty life" – Kano

"What a shame, your fake husband looked really handsome too; to bad he has a bad choice in women." - Kaede

"Sorry to burst your bubble, but I am not leaving earth until Kakashi becomes my real husband!" – Sakura yelled in disbelief at what she had just said.

"So that's his name" – Keiji and Hiroshi said snickering in their minds that they constantly called him an old man.

Kano then took his kunai and cut off some of Sakura's kimono off till it looked like a mini skirt, revealing as much skin as possible. As Sakura looked into the man's eyes she spotted the hideous desire of lust gleaming from within them.

Then Kano chuckled evilly and started to grope Sakura roughly. Hiroshi and Keiji were still holding Sakura just in case the jutsu came off. They were surprised that Sakura was still able to move her arms and legs. They figured that their jutsu wasn't strong enough for her, but they knew she would give up struggling soon seeing that her knees had started to tremble.

"GET YOUR FILTHY HANDS OFF ME!" – Sakura yelped

"Sorry I forgot to mention that I allow my husband to do whatever he pleases with my victims, as long as they die in the process" – Kaede

"You sick minded monster!" – Sakura

"If you're loyal to this Kakashi fella then that must mean your body hasn't been touched yet" – Kano

"As if I'd let a scum bag like you have your way with me" – Sakura was getting weaker by the minute and she didn't have any more strength left to defend herself, so she spit in Kano's face.

"You know I love the innocent and feisty ones, but play time is over you belong to me now" – Kano laughed and Kaede laughed along with him in the background.

Hearing their laughter in the background triggered something in Sakura which gave her the strength to release herself from Keiji and Hiroshi. Then she made her way over to Kano who quickly backed away when he noticed she was loose, and she punched him right in the gut and managed to kick Kano twice right in the spot between his legs.

"Stupid Husband!" – Kaede growled

With that Sakura turned over to Kaede and started to come after her but then she was once again in the hold of Keiji and Hiroshi. After feeling an entire lifetime of pain on his sensitive part, Kano got up and returned on to what he was planning to with Sakura.

Kano slapped Sakura and then started to choke her.

"Come on little blossom, you belong to me remember so give up already" – Kano

Even though the life very life of Sakura was being choked right out of her, Sakura managed to scream out.

"The only man that can have me is Kakashi Hatake!" – Sakura yelled loud and clear

Then at that moment Sakura felt the grip on her arms and neck loosen and she noticed Naruto and Sasuke beating up Keiji and Hiroshi. Then she heard a voice behind her that belonged to the man her heart belonged to.

"I'm glad you feel that way Sakura…" – Kakashi

"Kk-Kakashi…" – Sakura said in quiet sobs

Tears started to swell up within Sakura's eyes, those weren't exactly the words she expected to hear from Kakashi but it meant a whole lot to her.

Kakashi looked at the frozen and cruel form that Sakura was put into and no words can describe the burning fury that poured leaked out of him. While Kakashi was beating up Kano he started to confess to Sakura about his feelings.

"Sakura, I'm sorry" – Kakashi

Sakura looked at Kakashi confused and her heart felt as if he was rejecting her.

"I'm sorry I let this happen to you…" – Kakashi said while punching Kano repeatedly

"But Sakura I love you, I've loved you for a long time now, it just took me a while to say it to you" – Kakashi said with all the tender love he had for this beautiful woman.

Sakura looked up at Kakashi and her heart over flowed with happiness.

"So Sakura, I promise that I'll never let anything like this happen to you ever again." – Kakashi said throwing Kano hard into a tree.

Kakashi walked over to Sakura and caressed her cheek gently being cautious not to hurt her anymore than she already was.

Sakura then leaned forward and kissed Kakashi ever so passionately and lovingly that she had forgotten the wounds and scars on her body.

Meanwhile Naruto and Sasuke were fighting against Hiroshi and Keiji. Sasuke had gotten Keiji on the ground and he was about to give the final blow when Hiroshi ran over to Keiji to protect him.

"Hh-Hiroshi…what are you doing? Run while you still can" – Keiji coughed painfully.

"No, how many times do I have to remind you Keiji!" – Hiroshi said with tears in his eyes.

"I have feelings for you Keiji and if anything else, I will follow you to the ends of the earth" – Hiroshi

Keiji finally understood the feelings that Hiroshi felt inside were not a joke.

"Keiji, I know the reason you joined Kaede and Kano's squad was because your family was in need of money, so you don't really want to hurt anybody you're just trying to help your family…" – Hiroshi said sadly

"Hiroshi…" – Keiji

"When I found that out about you and how generous and kind your real self was my heart could never let go of you" – Hiroshi cried

Naruto was crying secretly in the background hearing such a touching story.

Hiroshi then looked at Sasuke with pleading eyes.

"So if you're going to kill him, then kill me as well!" – Hiroshi

"Fine then, works for me" – Sasuke

"Sasuke NO!" – Naruto

"Hey what are you doing?" - Sasuke

"Can't you see they've been deceived by Kaede and Kano and they had no other choice so…" – Naruto caressed Sasuke's cheek.

"Let them find happiness with each other like me and you" – Naruto smiled

Sasuke loved Naruto smile and he understood now where the 2 enemies were coming from, and how could he possibly say no to Naruto.

"It's you and I, dobe" – Sasuke

With that the 4 of them each got on good terms with each other after realizing their situations. As for Kaede she totally lost her sanity.

"I HATE LOVE AND BEAUTY, LET'S DESTROY IT FROM THE WORLD!" – Kaede laughed maniacally.

"What are we going to do with her?" – Keiji

"Already got it covered, Naruto…" - Sasuke

"RASENGAN" – Naruto

As the mission finally came to a fitting end, the 6 of them headed for the village. Having Kakashi with Sakura, Naruto with Sasuke, and Keiji and Hiroshi, the 3 pairs looked forward to a better life within the gates of Konoha. Love embraced each individual differently and revealed to them the truth behind their ways.

"Um Kakashi?" – Sakura blushed while being carried on Kakashi's back.

"What is it?" – Kakashi

Sakura kissed him on the cheek making him carry her bridal style and continued on kissing her.

"Behave yourselves kids!" – Naruto laughed while latching himself onto Sasuke's arm.

"(GASPS) KIDS!"- Hiroshi

Hiroshi and Keiji made a decision to start a new life and business Konoha together, not to mention they got pretty acquainted with the members of team 7.

"Speaking about kids…" – Keiji

"WE LEFT AKIO IN THE TINY POND" – Hiroshi said frantically

"Don't worry, there will be time for us to adopt a real one" – Keiji said while hugging his newly found lover and companion.

"AWWW" – Naruto, Sasuke, Kakashi, and Sakura.

Then Kakashi looked at his future wife to be and whispered in her ear.

"Someday, we will have children and a happy family we will be" – Kakashi

Sakura liked the sound of that.
