A/N: Hey people wazzup! MD17 is back. You probably don't appreciate me taking up writing space with my gibberish but I have a few favors. I need everybodies help with this. I have a favor.
Boy or girl. This is imperative. Not life or death but pretty dang close.
1-50.
The most number and genders will be posting. I need your help and this will be the only time I'm ordering you to review.
REVIEW!
Next on the list of my life I have another favor to ask. I'm looking for stories. Two that I know of right now.
A Naruto fanfic: Ita/Saku. Kakashi is Sakura's father and I know one particular scene where Kakashi is at the Uchiha house and they are holding a party and the other important clan heads come up to Kakashi because they want to marry her but they all get afraid of Kakashi. Another scene is where Sakura is in ANBU and Kakashi gets all crazy whenever she goes on missions and terrorizes the village. Also Kakashi is friends with Mitoko Uchiha. It's a really cool fic and I hope someone finds it for me. If you do I'll give you a hole bunch of cookies and dedicate the next chapter to you.
Second one is a Inuyasha fanfic:
Sess/Kag AU. Kagome is an amazing singer and joins a band with her sister, Rin, and friend Sango. The band members are Sesshoumaru, Miroku, Inuyasha and Kouga. I know Inuyasha plays the drums and dates Rin later and I remember a scene where he tries to teach her to play the drums. Kagome has an abusive boyfriend that sends her into the hospital before a concert. Her boyfriend sleeps with Kagura, apparently Kagome's dad is rich and that is why he stays with her.
So if you guys see either one or both of them PM and answer the questions above so you can get lots of cookies and a dedication. You feel extra special.
I DO NOT OWN NARUTO OR ANYTHING EXCEPT MY LAPTOP AND THE FOOD IN MY FRIDGE AND TUMMY.
Last thing: Some of you reviewed and seemed confused. Don't worry your probably gonna get a lot more confused before it makes any sense at all. But by the last chapter of the story hopefully you won't be confused. There will be no sequel for this story.
No one moved. Akame stared at Misa and Sakura while Sakura stared at what was around Akame's mouth. Blood.
Misa was the first to speak out, "Akame I missed you."
The leopard took a hesitant step forward then another until he was standing before them both. Keening lowly he stretched his head towards her. In response, Sakura began to scratch behind his ear.
"Where were you?" She murmured.
A low purr was his reply and he leaned into the comforting hand. Akame studied the room before growling and attacking the corner where blood spurted from the jugular where his teeth dug in. The man in hiding gurgled as blood bubbles came out of his mouth and his eyes rolled in the back of his head before he went limp.
Sakura scanned the room as the leopard looked out the window before going up the building. Calling in the nurses she ordered them to go find the Kazekage and their General. Staying with Misa until Gaara and Kankuro showed up.
"Gaara?" She was cautious, "Kai."
When the image stayed the same she pointed towards the corner, "Akame came back and attacked him then left out the window towards the roof."
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Akame had scented the swamps familiar to Mist. Digging his claws into the side of the wall he made his way to the roof. Hiding himself in the shade Akame baited his time until the Mist-nin turned his back. With a dangerous elegance he had learned since his change the leopard pounced on the unsuspecting man immediately ripping out his spine.
Although it would have been wise to leave him alive to get information he wasn't going to take the risk with childrens' life on the line.
And Sakura's, A voice in the back of his head purred.
Sakura could take care of herself, he reasoned with the naughty voice in his head.
Focusing on the dead man before him his urge to eat the man nearly took over before he snapped himself out of it. Disgusted at his more primal side Akame began pacing on the roof around the body only sparing the dead man and glance before turning down wind of the blood.
It was a good quarter of an hour before anyone came up and even then he was wary of them. Gaara held out his hand for the leopard to sniff and once his fears were put at ease he allowed the coroner to study the dead man.
Deciding that the Kazekage had everything under control Akame left to find his Sakura. Finding her where he left her, in Misa's room with the little civilian girl he sat at the doorway but did not come in.
Sakura finished up with Misa, "Just a few more days in the hospital to make sure it doesn't come back and then you can go home."
The little girl squealed hugging Sakura, "Thank you Sakura-chan."
"No problem."
With a final hug and a wave to Akame the two Konoha-nin made their way out. Sakura said nothing to the bloody leopard. The walk was awkward and cruel to the leopard who felt guilt over leaving the kunoichi with no warning, but since he couldn't speak he was ready to take his punishment.
Whatever it might be.
When they finally got to their temporary apartment Sakura turned to him, "Bathe," she ordered.
With a lowered head and tail he made his way to the bathroom and sat outside the tub, mindful of the blood on his body. Her footsteps reached him before her body and the light sigh of hers and Sakura kneeling before the big cat.
"You worried me, stupid." Turning away she twisted the pump and water poured out. Waiting until the water was lukewarm and just under halfway full she motioned for him to enter.
Akame looked at the water then at her then back at the water. Whining he climbing over the railing of the tub and smoothly plopped himself in. Forcing himself not to jump out he allowed the pink-haired kunoichi to lather up his fur and wash away the blood.
As soon as she was done and all the suds were rinsed he quickly got out a shook himself dry, his semi-long hair on his legs nearly dragged against the floor. Before moving towards a sunny spot near the window he got out the desert hare he had caught for her and gave it to the Leaf-nin with a slight tail wag.
She slid to her knees, "You are such a dog, with your wagging tail and hopeful eyes, yet those eyes tear me up inside and remind me of Kakashi."
Sakura had just turned 17. Looking at the people who had come to celebrate her birthday with her she smiled at Naruto and Hinata. They were such a cute couple. He had been talking to Sakura earlier about proposing to Hina-chan as he called her in a year or so.
"Neh Sakura-chan what do you think?" His big blue eyes so hard to resist.
"You should, you both love each other so much. She's crazy over you Naruto. Snatch her up before Hiashi hides her away from you." She chuckled at the forlorn expression that swept over his usual happy features.
"You're kidding right Sakura-chan?" Poor boy, she thought with a inward smile. "Sakura did Hiashi tell you to say that."
"What did I tell her to say Naruto?" Hiashi, the Hyuuga clan head, came up.
"Nothing Hiashi-sama," Naruto paled and turned to look for Sakura but she was already in a conversation with Kiba and Tsume.
"Are you gonna marry my boy Sakura-san?" The brash woman's teeth glinted as she smiled.
Giving the Inuzuka head a good-hearted laugh she replied easily, "Are you ever gonna give it up?"
"Not anytime soon, settle down and maybe I'll give up."
"Settling down means that I need a good man and as sweet as Kiba can be I wouldn't put him in the category of a good man more like a bad boy." She sent the male in discussion a sly smirk reminiscing about their wild sex life together.
Wrapping his arms around her waist he nibbled on his ear, "I have the perfect birthday present for tonight."
"What might that be?" A new dark voice came into the conversation. Immediately letting go of Sakura he put a sheepish smile on his face and turned around.
"Well I got her favorite chocolate from the Land of Eddies. Let me go that right now." The young man ran away from the one-eyed ninja. Tsume walked away with a fanged smile in the direction of Inoichi and Shiba.
"Kakashi stop scaring all the boys off," Sakura fixed the Copy-nin with a hard glare but as usual he was unfazed.
"They are pervs."
"So are you," She scoffed.
"I'm not after you." Kakashi's gaze softened, "I don't want you to get hurt anymore than necessary."
"I've already been hurt."
He shook his head, "You are still young and after this everything gets worse, so just enjoy everything now get in a few flings but don't take the relationship serious. Wait. And then act."
He put his large hand on top of her head, "You're a beautiful woman and men will only see you as a trophy, at this age anyone of the male species is stupid, so don't put to much into what they are saying. You deserve so much better than anyone of them could give."
"You sound like my father, he told me almost the same exact thing a while back." She smiled at him brightly, "But thank you for the advice Kakashi, I believe you completely."
Her words always had a special place in his heart, Sakura being her only female student. She was always special and a better ninja than Naruto and Sasuke combined, her lack of extra power or kekkai genkai made her a better ninja than the others, including himself, his eye wasn't even completely his. It was Obito's and in some ways Kakashi saw his female student surpass him and become an even greater ninja than he could ever believe.
"At least you're smarter than the boys." His eye crinkled.
Even though he still felt the need to protect her, he was pretty sure that if it ever came down to it she would be the one protecting him.
"Let's go get some cake, Kashi." Sakura walked towards the large group.
The pair made their way over to the others and were welcomed by friends and colleagues. Chocolate cake was passed around and people stared at Kakashi waiting for his face to appear. Things were good and everyone was happy.
The calm before the storm never seemed so cruel.
A/N: I'm dedicating this last sentence to the 9/11 victims and their families. My mother lost friends in the attack and it was a horrible thing. So I pray to all those who need it and who deserve it.
On the other hand I pray for the innocent Muslims that were affected by this cruel act and hope your situation gets better. I'm not a Christian or a Muslim. I am a person who understands pain and cruelty and I HATE the ignorant people who use religion to justify their means as both Christians and Muslims do.
When all is said and done just go out knowing you enjoy life. Whether it be today, tomorrow or fifty years from now. Get over the bigotry and make a new friend. Make yourself a better person.
