Chap12

That following week, Kakashi helped Sakura pack her things from her apartment, leaving the keys with her landlord.

" I think that is everything." Sakura replied as she closed the moving truck. She barely lifts a thing as she watches Kakashi, Naruto and Ino place all of the items in the truck.

"I will follow you behind the truck to Kakashi house." Naruto announced as he got into his car behind them.

"I will let Sakura ride with me, we need to have some girl talk." Ino stated as she grabbed Sakura to her car.

Kakashi shrugged and jumped into the moving truck towards his house. He was excited that Sakura will be living with him full time and that he can help her move on with her life.

"So sakura, how are you really doing?" Ino asked as she pulled off.

Sakura smiled as she stared at her long time best friend, "I am doing good. Nervous though?"

"Why are you nervous? You have all of us here to help you." Ino replied.

"Well, I am scared that Sasuke will come back. The last time I saw him, I threw a kunai in his back." Sakura admitted. "I don't want anybody to get hurt, especially Kakashi. He is so special to me."

"Do you love him?" Ino asked as she finally pulled into Kakashi's house.

"Yes I do." Sakura smiled.

Sakura noticed Kakashi jumping out of the truck, and pulling down the rail so he could move the furniture that they grabbed from Sakura's house. She took a good bit of furniture such as a loveseat, bed, dresser and lots of clothes. Kakashi wanted Sakura to feel like she was home. So he will let her move some things into their room and then the guest room.

Sakura got out of the car, walked towards the house with a big smile on her face. She knew this would start a new chapter in her life.

~Hidden Midst Village~

"Sakura, I will let you be in peace for a while, but trust I will return." Sasuke stated as he started a fire in the woods and immediately threw a kunai in the air. "Did you bring a report?"

"Yes." An hidden leaf anbu with a wolf appeared, "Sakura-chan is pregnant and she is moving in with Kakashi Hatake."

Sasuke gave an evil smirk and laughed, "So Hatake made his move… He doesn't know that she will always be mine."

"I will keep an eye out if I receive any more news." The anbu ninja bowed and disappeared in the night.

Sasuke smirked as he continued to play with the fire in front of him, while holding a bottle of gin. "I will get you back Sakura, and Kakashi Hatake is as good as dead." Sasuke took a gulp of his liquor, staring in the night sky.

~Kakashi's house~

"Finally you are settled in." Kakashi stated as he fell onto the couch. "Come sit with me." He reached out his hand for Sakura to grab.

"Kakashi, thanks for everything. I truly mean it." She replied as she sat on his lap.

Kakashi smiled as he pulled the mask away from his face and nuzzled Sakura's stomach. "Hey little one. It sounds like you are hungry."

Sakura chuckled as she softly punched Kakashi on the shoulder, "hush."

Kakashi chuckled in returned, "Do you want some food? I can order take out"

Sakura nodded as she removed herself from his lap, "Take out will be nice."

Kakashi nodded as he stood up, "Go and take a bath and I will go and pick up the take out, ramen?"

Sakura nodded as she went towards the back and prepared for her bath. Kakashi smiled and walked out to go pick up the take out.

Sakura went into the new bathroom and started her bath. This was the first time she was alone in Kakashi's house and she was completely alone with her own thoughts. She turned around and faced the mirror as she undressed herself. She still had bruises but it was very minimal due to her slowly using her chakra to heal some of the scars. She touched her stomach, thinking about her unborn child.

"I will protect you little one, no matter what." She stated out loud, looking down at her stomach.

"Oh, are you really?" A voice stated as Sakura looked around the bathroom to see where the voice was coming from.

"Who was that?" Sakura asked as she continued to look around but then turned to the door and saw Sasuke, "What are you doing here?" she stepped back as she bumped to the tub.

"I am here to see my wife… or did you forget that?" Sasuke replied as he stepped closer to her.

"I am not married to you anymore, Tsunade destroyed our marriage license." She yelled in return.

"Tsk Tsk, don't you know you will always be mine and you are pregnant with our child." Sasuke replied as he quickly grasped her throat.

Sakura struggled as she tried to pry his hands away from her throat.

"Oh Sakura, you better calm down or you will make me squeeze harder." Sasuke growled as he tightened his grip and slammed her in the tub. He stood over her as he stepped in the water, still holding her throat. "Do you think Kakashi is going to come and save you? You are just his whore and you are worth nothing." He screamed as he pushed her head underneath the water, causing Sakura to kick and splash to get out of his grasp.

"Kakashi help! Kakashi help!" Sakura screamed until she felt her body being lifted from the water.

"Sakura, Sakura…." Kakashi yelled, to get her attention. "Are you okay?"

Sakura jumped around and looked around, "Sasuke… Sasuke was here."

Kakashi looked around and did notice anything scattering or any force entry in the room, "Sakura, Sasuke isn't here. You must have fallen asleep in the tub because I heard you kicking and splashing while you were underneath water."

" That seems too real, he was here… I felt him." Sakura fell to the ground trembling, letting Kakashi hold her.

Kakashi held her, and started to stroke her hair to calm her down, "Sasuke, you bastard. You traumatized this for way too long. You are even getting to her in her dreams." He thought to himself. As Sakura calmed down, he helped her to get dressed and set out the ramen that he picked up. He noticed that she was still a little shaken up, "Sakura, let's get ready for bed. You need your rest."

Sakura nodded and she followed him to the bed. Kakashi opened his arms, as she laid on his chest, praying for sweet dreams to take control of her mind. Kakashi soothed her, as he stroked her head until she fell asleep.

"Goodnight my cherry blossom" Kakashi kissed her forehead and continued to hold her until he fell asleep.
