"Oh how touching. You remember my name. I thought someone as famous as you wouldn't remember me Ms. Sakura..." his voice was dripping with sarcasm.

"Sasuke..." she whispered, slowly walking forward, then freezing.

Suddenly he was in front of her, hands grabbing her shoulders, and spinning her til her back slammed against the very beam he had just been leaning on. Eyes filled with hatred and malice gleamed at her and she shrank back. She heard Kakashi and the men go to move but Sasuke stopped them with just one hand gesture. His hands snaked up her shoulders and loosely encircled her neck. Kakashi stopped in his tracks, eyes helpless.

"That's what I thought."

He turned his interest back to Sakura. She felt tears swelling in her eyes as his fingers roamed her skin. He pushed the shoulder of her sweater away and let his fingernails graze her skin and she felt the tears slip out and slide smoothly down her cheeks. She knew he was smiling that sadistic smile of his. His hand roamed down her side, crying helplessly as he did, to the hem of her shorts. She cried out in terror as that night from so long ago came back full fledge and she screamed. Sasuke laughed as her screams echoed around them and took pleasure in the look of hate coming from Kakashi.

"Shhh dear Sakura. If you don't stop screaming then I will have to stop you myself. Now do you want that?" he asked as his hand on her throat tightened and she gasped.

She stopped screaming as she realized what his words meant. She looked over his shoulder and saw Kakashi straining to keep his cool. His eyes were closed and his fists clenched as were the others. She knew her eyes were pleading with his to help her, but she knew he couldn't, not without herself getting harmed as a result. She also knew that Sasuke was enjoying this in a way only he could. She felt his fingers circling her skin at the hem of her shorts and couldn't help when more tears leaked out. Her lips were clenched together, silenty screaming, and holding back the many cries that she was too afraid to utter. After what seemed like hours she felt his fingers stop, though the hand still remained at her throat, and he turned back to the men.

"Now, I'm betting you are all wondering why I am here?" he asked in a snarky tone.

"Watch your tone boy." Asuma clipped out.

"I think I shall do as I like. Because what we have here is that you are in possession of what is mine."

"She is not yours." Genma growled out.

"I courted her, I mated with her, I claimed her. She is mine."

Sakura gasped as she watched Kakashi's control snap. She felt the hand around her throat ripped away and watched as Sasuke flew through the air and land on his back a few feet away. Kakashi was on him, throwing punch after punch in quick succession. She watched for a split second as Sasuke's face became a mass of blood and lumps. She went to dash forward but the others beat her to it as Gai circled his arm around Kakashi's neck, only to be met with an elbow to the face. He stumbled back clutching his nose, while Genma slipped his arms under Kakashi's armpits and yanked upward. Kakashi was drug back kicking and screaming while Asuma swooped in and knelt down next to Sasuke. Sakura rushed forward to where Genma had him pinned and threw herself into his chest. She felt Kakashi's wild heartbeart and drew back and lifted her small hands to his face, cupping it, and looked into his eyes.

"Please stop...please." she whispered.

She saw the hatred drain from his eyes as he looked down at her. She flicked her eyes to Genma and he released his arms slowly. Sakura waited, silently hoping that he didn't just go right back to beating Sasuke, even though she knew it was what he deserved. She almost let out a sob when she flet his hands slide up her arms and come to rest on her shoulders and pulled her close, her hands slipping to wrap around his back, hands clenching handfuls of his shirt. She listened to the wild heartbeat finally settle down into a slower more stable rythem. She felt safe, like not even Sasuke could peirce her bubble right now. She pulled back, raising one hand to his neck and pulled his lips down to meet hers. He kissed her back with such a ferocity that she felt the raw need awaken deep inside her. She knew Kakashi could feel it too and almost groaned into his mouth when his fingers slipped up to her neck and deepened the kiss.

"Sakura."

She pulled back, unwillingly, at the sound of Asuma's voice. She looked over and saw that he had Sasuke standing with one of his arms twisted behind his back and Asuma also had an arm snaked around his throat while Sasuke struggled. Placing one last kiss to Kakashi's lips, she pushed herself up and slowly went to stand in front of Sasuke. She felt the hatred in her swell with each step she took toward him and her fingers clenched into fists. Finally standing in front of him she looked into his eyes, the eyes she had feared for so long, and realized he couldn't do anything to her anymore. She knew there were only a few things left to do and she looked at her friend to show him she knew what she was doing. Asuma released Sasuke, who fell to the ground panting, and stepped back but not very far.

"Sasuke?" Sakura stooped down til she was eye level with him.

His eyes flew to hers and she could see the hatred and evil pulsating in his eyes. She placed her hand under his chin and slowly stood, taking him with her. Once he was standing she placed a hand on his cheek, she could feel Kakashi's stone cold stare on her, and slowly stroked her thumb across his cheek. She then dropped her hand and turned to walk away. Sasuke lurched forward and without so much as a second thought she turned around and pulled her fist back and punched him right across the face. She smiled as curses and blood flew from his mouth as he jerked backwards. He went to come at her again and her other fist snaked out and hit him again. She knew the others were watching on in shock, but she only had eyes for Sasuke. She watched him straighten up and she knew he was going to make one last attempt. He rushed her, and in the last second, she let herself drop and her fist shot upwards into his stomach. She watched as the breath was knocked out of his and she felt her anger take over. Hands shooting out to his shoulders, she propped him up, and brought her knee to his groin. Gasps and spittle tinged with blood flew from his lips. Her knee made contact three more times before she let him collapse at her feet. Though the shock was evident on Asuma's face as he moved forward and bent to secure Sasuke again. When his eyes met hers again, she spit in his face.

"Get him out of here." she said in a clipped tone.

Asuma lead Sasuke away and Gai and Genma followed. Sakura took a deep breath and closed her eyes as the last of the tears that she would ever shed over Sasuke fell down her cheeks. Bringing her hand up, she brushed her bangs back out of her face and turned around. She froze when she saw Kakashi standing there, staring at her in a way that she wasn't sure she had seen before. His onyx eye bored into hers and she felt her breath leave her lungs as he walked towards her. His hands reached her before the rest of him did and they cupped her face with such gentleness, contradicting the hardness of him, and pulled her lips to his. She pulled back, for a split second he looked afraid that she was rejecting him, and ripped the mask from his face and snaked her fingers into his silver hair and pulled his lips back to hers. His tongue stroked her bottom lip and without even hesitating she opened her mouth. His tongue dominated hers and she groaned into his mouth as his hands squeezed her backside. The need she had felt deep inside herself reawakened and she ripped her lips away from his, panting.

"What is it? What's wrong?" he asked.

"Not here." is all she could manage before attacking his lips again.

Kakashi did not need to be told twice. Slipping an arm under her legs, he swept her off her feet and began making his way towrds their trailer.

Sorry for the long wait but life is just...well life. The lemon you have all been waiting for will be in the next chapter. Enjoy!
