Sakura shook her head, "I don't know if I saw him. Gai-sensei and the others along with some other people had escaped and were carried off back to the buildings with the wounded, but Kakashi-sensei wasn't amongst them."
"He has a large leather collar around his neck."
Sakura shook her head. "I didn't see anyone like that."
Kyo looked back at the fire with fear. Sakura went back to glancing around, looking for any sign of her sensei.
"I'm going to take another run around this fire," Sakura said taking off.
Kyo nodded at her, but remained where he was. He reached into his back pocket and pulled out a large sapphire. He looked up at the fire, holding the jewel tightly in his hands, and began forming seals.
"Everyone, move out of the way!" he shouted.
The villagers looked back at him.
"Please, unless you want to be killed!"
They glanced at each other and ran behind him. Kyo finished the seals and the ground around him rose up, both mud and ashes, and fell upon a part of the fire. A large hole of about 8 feet wide was created. Kyo wasted no time and ran through.
Sakura heard the noise of the mud over the fire and looked around. She saw Kyoshiro run forward after mud fell on a part of the fire, extinguishing it. Running back, she looked in the large hole and saw the still standing, burning buildings, but practically no path.
He won't make it. It's too hot, she thought worriedly.
Sakura stared intently at the opening. The heat started to get to her, but she didn't stop. A dark spot appeared in the flames and she figured it was the heat still getting to her, so she blinked. "No way," she whispered.
Two figures came into focus. They half stumbled, half ran to the opening. The villagers around her saw them and ran forward. Kyoshiro emerged with a teenage boy leaning on him. They collapsed outside the hole. People helped them get farther away from the heat.
Sakura ran over, "Where's Kakashi-sensei?"
Kyo looked up and back at the hole. "He was behind us," he coughed.
The opening was still the same size. One of the buildings near it collapsed. The flames from it rejoined the ones that were on the edge. Sakura ran to the edge of the flames. The heat forced her to stop 6 feet away.
"Kakash-sensei!" she screamed.
The deafening roar didn't allow it to go far. Sakura held up her hands to shield her face and looked between her fingers, but she didn't see any objects along the fire's edge. There were no shadows, no movement, no nothing. Hands grabbed at her arms and pulled her back. She half-heartedly fought against them, but eventually found herself back with Kyo.
"Sakura-san," a voice croaked.
She looked over and saw golden eyes looking up at her.
"I gave him my collar, the jewels on it naturally protect what's around them." He took a shaky breath. "As long as they don't run out of chakra, the jewels will keep him safe."
She stared at him.
He looked tiredly back. "I promise, he'll be safe. Those jewels have saved me many times."
Sakura nodded and smiled. The stress of the day was showing on her, but she did her best to hide it. The boy nodded and closed his eyes, completely relaxing. Kyo sat up, his breathing somewhat back to normal. Two men with a stretcher came over. Sakura helped them pick up the boy and place him on the material. Both she and Kyo followed the two as they carried the coughing boy to Sora. The walk back was in silence. At first, the streets were deserted, but the closer they got to the medical areas, the more active it became. When Sakura's guards found her, they held their weapons aimed right at her. She glared at them.
"You know the rules by which you were released," one of them stated. "You were not supposed to leave our sights at any moment."
"My friends were in danger," Sakura retorted quietly.
"You could've waited for us," the guard replied.
"You would've held me back."
"Enough!"
They all looked at Kyo. He was glaring between the kunoichi and her two guards. The medics with the stretcher were already gone.
"Sakura is right, you would've held her back. The guards are right, you should've stayed in their sights." He looked at the guards who had stood straighter with his agreement. "What you two need to realize is that her comrades were in danger of dying and Sakura had to help them. Right now, one of her friends is missing. It'd be best not to get on a kunoichi's bad side when that happens. Especially when she's the medic."
"It makes no difference. She broke her agreement," one of the guards said.
Sakura's fist clenched.
"Sakura," Kyo warned.
She continued glaring. "I don't see why Kakashi-sensei wanted to help those in this village when all they do is try to kill those that want to help them." She turned around and walked back to the buildings with the wounded.
The guards ran up and flanked her. She ignored them and continued walking. Kyo shook his head and looked back at the northern fire.
Naruto looked out at the room. They had guards surrounding them and the corner they occupied. The others they rescued from the other cells were with them as well. Many wounded ignored them, but those who did look at them looked at them with fear, and mainly anger. Only Sora had cleaned their burns and gave them any medicine.
"I don't have time for this, Mr. Yoshida!" Sora yelled at the man standing in front of her. "I cannot empty out a single room in this building just so you can isolate them in there! I don't have the room. Both buildings are full! They are fine right there in the corner. Now, if you excuse me, I have patients, and unless you want to help with the dying, I'd suggest you leave!" She walked around the tall man and went to the closest patient.
Naruto saw the man's mouth move, but he spoke too quietly to be heard. Sora didn't make any notion that she heard, paying attention to the patient only. The man said something again, but Sora still ignored him. Rage came over the burly man's features, but he turned around and stormed towards the door. Two medics came in with another stretcher. The medics and the burly man passed. Naruto saw him look down at the patient and saw his face light up in shock, but he quickly hid it and continued out the door. Sora glanced over and saw the stretcher. She directed them to the open area near their guards. The patients had abandoned that area when they realized that they were the prisoner ninja.
The medics set the stretcher down and carefully transferred their charge off of it onto the floor. Sora sat down by the boy as the medics left.
"Hey, it's him!" Naruto said loudly.
Sora looked up. "What?"
Tenten stepped on Naruto's foot with a glare. "What are you talking about, Naruto?"
He looked in confusion at Tenten. "Isn't he the one that-."
She dug her foot harder into his and he cringed just a little. "No, you're thinking of someone else back home, you moron."
Naruto got the message and looked back at the boy, "Oh, he does look a lot like him."
Sora watched them in confusion, but went back to checking her new charge.
"Ms. Sora?"
She looked and smiled when she saw Kyoshiro walking towards her. He smiled back, but looked over his shoulder. Sakura walked in with the two guards still aiming their weapons at her. The directed her over to the corner. She obliged, but the other ninjas could see the anger radiating off of her.
"What's going on here?" Sora demanded, walking over to them.
The guards stopped walking. "She broke the agreement that freed her."
"What'd she do?"
"She wasn't supposed to leave our sight, not even for a moment. She ran off and we couldn't find her for well over 10 minutes. Who knows what she did. We can't trust her to be free to roam around anymore."
"She went after her friends!" Sora said.
"We don't know that for sure."
Sora looked at Sakura's glaring face, then at Kyoshiro, who shrugged sadly. She sighed. "I can't believe you don't trust her."
The guards motioned for Sakura to join her friends. The guards that had formed the half ring around the others parted and she walked through and turned around, glaring at the two that had been keeping an eye on her before she ran off.
"Why don't you go make yourselves more useful now that you don't have to watch me," she spat.
They stiffened. "We don't take orders from the likes of you."
Sakura's glare deepened. Naruto was the closest one to her and he backed away slowly. As the two guards left, Sakura swung around in anger and punched the wall. The room grew deathly silent, all eyes on her and the large hole she had created. The other ninjas, including Neji and Sai, backed as far away from the pissed kunoichi as they could. A few people stared through the hole from the room next door. Sakura glared at the guards that had raised their weapons towards her.
"Sa-Sakura-chan, you didn't use any chakra, did you?" Naruto asked.
"No," she replied calmly.
The blonde backed away a little more.
Sora sighed. "Why did you have to create a hole like that? You guards are no match for a pissed kunoichi, so you might as well put your weapons down. She's not going anywhere anyways."
The guards ignored her.
Sora sighed in exasperation. She looked at Sakura, "Did you find Kakashi?"
Sakura looked back, sadly. "No."
"He was behind us when we were coming close to the edge of the fire, but he never came out," Kyo said quietly.
A cough sounded from behind Sora. "He has my collar, he should be safe." More coughing.
She looked back at the newest patient. He was coughing quietly now. She looked back at the Konoha ninjas. All of them had their heads down. Sora rubbed her eyes.
"He should be fine," she said more to herself.
Sighing again, she turned and walked to another patient. The noise in the room never started up for another five minutes. Those who did talk, whispered. They all feared Sakura's anger.
"How are we to know if he's alive or not?" Naruto asked quietly.
Sakura finally sat down. "I don't know," she replied. "I can't see how he can survive that. The fire was so hot; I couldn't get close to it. It was a complete ring of flames."
"It's Kakashi-sensei," Naruto said with a smile, but it wasn't as whole hearted. "He's survived falling off that cliff, those rapids, that waterfall, and nearly drowning. I bet he's survived this."
The others smiled sadly.
