Kakashi sat up quickly rubbing his eyes as if this was all a dream. But She was... He Didn't have the guts to actually admit what he thought.. she was alive now and that's all that matter to him now. He got up slowly out of his chair, still trying desperately to make sense of the situation. Was I dreaming, is this a dream? A Million thoughts ran though Kakashi's head, but the only thing he really cared about was that she was awake and alive right now.. Finally reaching Sakura's bed, to him it felt like it was a million miles away, he lifted his hand from his side and as if to see if she was real or if it was just his mind playing cruel tricks on him. As soon as his hand-made contact with her face he instantly knew this wasn't a dream. She Really was really in front of him. She was alive and breathing. Kakashi let Out a sigh of pure relief. He took his hands away from her face and placed it over her hand and looked up into her eyes.

"Sakura.. this is all -" but Kakashi's voice was cut off by the sound of a clearing of the throat from the corner of the room. Kakashi hadn't Even noticed him, the boy who had cause all of this distress. Not even thinking clearly kakashi released Sakura's hand. He only had one thing on his mind now. To cause sasuke just as much pain they went through. With such ease kakashi was right in front of sasuke, literally centimeters away from his face. Sasuke casually Stepped back and looked up at kakashi.

"i loved her you know." Sasuke said quite morbidly.

Kakashi was slightly taken a back by this, "if you loved her so much, why did you hurt her?" Kakashi said accusingly

"because i was jealous, jealous of the fact that she got over me, i regret ever being rude dickhead to her but i didn't know any better, i lost everyone i ever loved at a young age-" sasuke started looking down sadly "after losing my parents and.. my brother, i..I Just didn't know how to love again, what i did was.. unforgivable but i don't know how to handle these situations, I know that i can act like such a total asshole and can act like a hard-ass, but underneath all of this hard skin is just someone who is just lonely and need a bit of guidance..."

The next thing Kakashi did was unbelievable, he hugged Sasuke. Not in a romantic way, but rather as if to tell him that he wasn't alone anymore. "Sasuke, what you did was wrong, she -" Kakashi voice caught in his throat "She could of died and I'm not the one who you should be telling this to, you broke Sakura's trust as well as practically almost raped her, the person you should be apologising to is lying right there" Kakashi said pointing at Sakura who was staring at both of them.

"Sakura-" Kakashi started but was interrupted by Sakura "Sasuke, I loved you for so long and you just threw it in my face, you knew how I felt about you and you just made fun of me"

"Sakura.. I'm sorry I.. never knew it would cause so much pain and seeing the pain I've caused you.. I hate myself for what I've done, I really don't expect you to ever forgive me but I hope someday you can" Sasuke said walking towards the door.

"Sasuke .. wait" Sakura replied "Look I don't hate you and I just need sometime."

Sasuke gave a sad smile and walked out the door. Kakashi stood half between the door and Sakura's bed not sure whether he should leave or say something, but he didn't have to make a decision before Sakura began talking again. "Kakashi.. -"Sakura look straight at Kakashi, he knew, she didn't have to say a single word he just knew. She needed him. Kakashi walked towards Sakura and climbed next to her and just held her in his arms, kissing the top of her head lightly. "Everything's going to be okay, you're okay now." Kakashi soothed. Sakura sobbed softly.

After Kakashi was sure Sakura had fallen asleep he got up out of her bed, walking over to the chair next to her bed and sat down silently. Kakashi picked up his Icha Icha paradise book, with a smirk on his face he opened the book and quietly read to himself.

After a few days of Sakura being monitored in the hospital she was allowed to leave. Kakashi was right next to her, hand in hand as the walked out the front door of the hospital. Kakashi walked Sakura home, making small chat and laughing at how bad their luck had been so far, but Sakura could swear in that moment she was the most happiest just being alone with Kakashi with no obstacles made up for all the times they had been in danger or apart. Kakashi stopped abruptly and pushed Sakura backwards, Sakura flew back and hit the pavement luckily not hitting it to hard. Just as Kakashi had pushed Sakura a kunai zipped past Kakashi's face slicing through his mask ripping the material as well as his skin, which now had blood trickling down his cheek.

"Sakura run! Go find help!" Kakashi yelled through dodging more kunai's which he dodged smoothly. Where the hell are these coming from. Kakashi looked at Sakura.

"Go..."

That was all Kakashi needed to say because Sakura was up and running as fast as she could to find help.

Sakura ran towards her house, she knew that Jiraiya lived next door to her. By the time she reached his house, she was gasping for air, running up to his door she beat on it with all her strength, well what was left of it anyway. A quite annoyed Jiraiya answered the door, his face softened when he saw it was Sakura.

"Sakura! Glad to see-" Jiraiya started was cut off quickly.

"No time Jiraiya" Sakura blurted out "Kakashi..needs help"

""Where is he?" Jiraiya asked instantly concerned. Sakura told Jiraiya where they had been, before Jiraiya left he told her to find Naruto and the rest of her team. The both left in different directions.

Jiraiya ran as fast as his legs would take him, finally arriving he noticed that Kakashi was nowhere to be seen. What the hell. Jiraiya looked around, there definitely was signs of struggle and Jiraiya crouched and examined what looked a lot like blood, is that..blood. What the hell happened here. As Jiraiya was about to get up, he was pulled from the side and pulled behind a bush.

"What the -" Jiraiya got out before a hand covered his mouth.

"I'll only take my hand off if you promise are quite" Kakashi said.

"KAK-" Jiraiya started but stopped himself and started to whisper. "Kakashi, what in hells name is going on?"

"It's that kid that follows Orochimaru, Kabuto.

"What does he want?" Jiraiya asked curiously.

"I have no idea, but all I know is that I don't need this crap now!" Kakashi said quite irritably.

Kakashi peeked through the bushes to where he had seen the kunai flying from, leaping from behind the bush he reached into his side pocket and grabbed several kunai and flung them ion Kabutos direction. As soon as Kakashi was in the air he was back on his feet again, this time behind a tree. He looked behind him at the bush where he and Jiraiya had hidden. Jiraiya must have moved because when Kakashi looked there was no sign of anyone. As if on cue Jiraiya popped up next to Kakashi giving him a fright.

"JIRAIYA" Kakashi yelled quietly "You gave me a fright"

Jiraiya gave out an inaudible laugh and looked at Kakashi in amusement. Kakashi leaped up into the tree he was standing next to and landed on the first branch, Kakashi tried to look for any signs of movement and before long he caught movement just a few trees ahead of him. Kakashi looked down at Jiraiya and pointed to where he saw the noise coming from. Jiraiya nodded in understanding. Kakashi leaped to the next tree, Jiraiya following close behind. Finally reaching where they saw the movement they were met with familiar faces, Sakura, Sasuke and Naruto. Kakashi smiled lightly at them. It was good to see there faces again. Even Sasukes.

"Kakashi!"Naruto chirped brightly

"Hi Naruto, Okay firstly we're dealing with Kabuto, you remember him from our last encounter with Orochimaru, yes?" Kakashi began.

"Yes" They agreed in unison

"Okay well that's who we are currently-" Kakashi started but stopped mid sentence when he heard a sudden whoosh noise, Kakashi's eyes scanned the trees to assess where the Kunai was coming from, he didn't have to look very far because there Kabuto was standing out in the open, that stupid grin planted on his face. Kakashi turned back to his team and for the first time noticed that the kunai hadn't just been a random throw to get their attention, it had a specific target. Sasuke. Sasuke had been the target all along. I don't understand. Kakashi rushed over to where Sasuke was gripping his chest.

"I guess you're wondering why I came to kill the boy" Kabuto spoke to no one in particular. "It's quite simple actually, he would of gotten in the way, you see we need his brother alive and since Sasuke has such a vendetta against Itachi, we have to get rid of him, lord Orochimaru will be pleased to hear of his death."
