Chapter 16, dreams, and new additions to the family. And a note.

A few days later.

Sara shoulder itched, she ignored it, she was tired, and cranky. The Shinobi Kakashi keeps giving her worried glances. She ignored him too, or at least she tired to. The endless anxiety flutters around in her belly, they had a routine of sorts now, she would have a nightmare, they would sit and read. Then he would have her train with his pack, so she would be hungry enough to eat breakfast. His little trick was working though, she was at least eating.

Her belly flipped when his hand brushed hers when he handed her the orange juice to go with the sweet pancakes he had once again made. She frowned he was doing that a lot lately, and she knew he could hand her things without touching her. So why the sudden change?
he sits, and they eat in silence.

"You have a guessed" he suddenly announces. She frowned she wasn't expecting anyone. "He will be here shortly."

The word he worried her because she didn't have any male friends.

A knock startled her when she looked, out of the widow she saw Ash blond hair. She bolted up the stairs.

Kakashi sighed as he opened the door to allow Inoichi in.

"Come in, make yourself at home. I'll just go and retrieve her."

Inoichi smiled and waved him off,

Kakashi went up stars she had already changed out of her workout cloths and was out the window, he had to admit she was fast, but she couldn't out run him. He found her just a few yards down the path. He dropped down in front of her.

"Going somewhere?" he asked amusingly.

Sara skidded to a halt. "No. no, no I'm. not seeing that man!"

"He's here on the Hokage orders, he's here to help you"

"I don't care." She moved to move passed him, he blocked her path.

"Sara! Do you not want this to stop?" he asked.

"What kind of question is that? Yes, of course I do."

"Then why wont you let him help you?"

"Because I'm afraid of him!" she yells.

Kakashi sighs scratches the back of his neck. "You're in pain," he says, "Don't think I haven't noticed you using your arm less and less, add the small winces when you sit."

Her face heats up at his words. He figured she was sore from urinating when she wakes from a nightmare.

"What-what if I leave a dog with you? Would you be willing to at least here the man out?"

She appeared to be thinking it over. She nodded.

"Good." He turned and she followed him back, he led her inside taking her backpack from her. He noticed her face was still heated properly embarrassed he thought.

Inoichi sat sipping tea the dogs around him.

"Ah, Sara Kakashi, Pakkun was just telling me about the new exercise he has you doing?"

"Wouldn't call it exercise more like torcher." She says not looking at him.

The mind walker chuckled.

"She's agreed to hear you out if I leave a dog with her?"

"Thetis's fine. I may need you later anyway."

Kakashi nodded, gathered his pack up all but Bull. Who sat by Sara side She hadn't moved yet from the door. He had sealed it so she wouldn't be able to run again.

Inoichi watched her, as he sipped his tea. It was apparent that she was afraid of him.

She rubbed her right arm; he didn't miss the tremors that ran through her.

"Sara, please come take a seat," he says softly gesturing to the chair next to him.

"I'd rather not" she says, looking down, like the floor is the most interesting thing in the world.

"I'm not going to bite you know." He puts the tea down he enjoyed it; he still can't have any of his at the office Anko hasn't taken kindly to being denied a mission. The woman was stumpy too unstable for it.

He watched tilted his head to the side. "Tell me Sara have you read any good books lately? My wife is running out of reading material"

Sara blinked surprised by the question. He wanted to make her feel more relaxed.

"I-I um.. yea, there's this book I'm reading now she might like?"

"Oh, do tell" he crossed on leg over the other, gave her his full attention.

"Well, the Main character Riya, something bad happed to her, she was able to get over it and become strong"

"That sound's interesting" he rubbed his chin "Do you like this Riya was it?"

Sara nodded "Yes, I do, she's so, strong, she overcame what was done to her."

"So, you associate yourself with her?" he asked.

"Well kind of, I guess."

"You sound frustrated?"

"Well, I am Riya, got over what happed to her pretty quickly. I however seem to be tuck."

"And that bothers you?" he asked lightly.

"Well yea, I mean, she overcome it, I'm still….stuck" she rubbed her arm once more.

Bull nudged her slightly, she dropped her hand to pet him.

"You know authors don't accurately write this type of thing; I'm guessing this Riya didn't have time to properly deal with what ever happened to her?"

Sara looked away Inoichi took that as a yes.

"But it's been years since-Since that incident?"

"Yes, that's true, but you have had a resent trauma that led you to reopen the old trauma." He explained.

Sara looked away.

"Its not going to go away on its own." He shifts slightly making the chair creak drawing Sara's attention back to him, "Kakashi tells me the nightmares have gotten worse? That your using your arm less, and less?"

She folds her right arm across her chest. "I know the pain isn't real, but it doesn't seem to go away."

Inoichi concerns grows, he knew how bad that brake was, he had been the first to attend to it. Thought he wasn't proficient in medical ninjutsu, he knew enough to ease pain assess the damage and stop the bleeding.

"May I take a look?" he asked. He doubted she would let him. Her face pinched she drew her lip into her moth, her eyes grew wide. Even more fearful.

"It's alright, Sara, you don't have to let me. I'm not here to hurt you I'm here to help you." His tone was soft gentle. "I could help with the pain and your nightmares if you allow me too, you are capable of overcoming this."

Sara watched him she hadn't said a word.

"H-How, how would you help?" her voice trembled, but she obviously wants help, her fear is preventing it. Lying to her wouldn't help.

"A mind-walk."

She sucked in a breath, moved further away from him, she stood her back against the sofa, Bull had followed, nudging her with his nose.

He stayed completely still.

"I would view the dream, then bring you to it and we would both slowly pick it apart bit by bit. You wouldn't feel any pain. In the long run it would help you understand why you fell the way you do, and why the sudden bed wetting."

Her face heated up at that. He saw the shame wash over it.

"I can only help you if you let me."

"W-will the nightmares stop for good?"

"That depends on you. I'd like to say yes, they would. But it's down to you to confront the fear and overcome it"

"Then what's the pint of letting you do a Mind-walk."

Inoichi could hear the frustration in her voice. He could understand it.

"There's no answer I can give that will satisfy you, all I can do Is offer my help, if you take it the bed wetting may stop the nightmares may lesson, the pain may subside."

Sara was quiet for a long time, Inoichi waited, she rubbed her arm, glanced down at Bull.

"I-I don't want to be alone wh-when you do this."

"That's fine, I'll need Kakashi's help anyway, you're a civilian and will need monitoring despite me using my own chakra."

Sara nodded.

"Kakashi!" Inoichi called, he didn't rase his voice, he new very well that the copy-Nin could hear them.

Rather than puffing in, which would startle Sara he come down the stairs.

"Sara has agreed to a Mind-walk, but she wishes, that she not be alone. Do you mind supervising?"

"Of Corse not"

"Good." Inoichi stood slowly, keeping his muscles relaxed.

Sara tensed.

"Sara lay down for me on the sofa please." His tone was soft, calming Coxing.

She hesitated. Glancing at both of them. she slowly walked around the sofa a Bull following her, Inoichi saw Kakashi discreetly signal to Bull to, restrain, gently.

Sara sat on the sofa, watched as they both moved around in front of her, she stroked Bull's head, who looked like he was enjoying the affection.

She slowly laid down, before she could protest it or stop it Bull jumped up laying on her, he gives her face a lick. His way of apologizing no doubt.

"H-hey Bull get off of me!" she, panicked.

"It's alright Sara, he won't hurt you, I need you still that's all." Inoichi says coming to stand at the top of her head.

He made the hand sings quickly, placing his hand on her head, she fell to sleep.

Bull whined.

"She's just asleep" Inoichi says, "I need her to go into REM sleep before I can start."

"Down Bull." Kakashi says giving the big dog a treat. "You did good."

"Kakashi, do you know where the book she is reading currently?"

Kakashi nodded and left to retrieve it. Inoichi knelt down checked her vitals. They were stable. Beside him Bull sat, Inoichi smiled giving the dog a pet.

Whilst he had the opportunity Inoichi excambed her arm, as far as he could tell, there was no new damage. His chakra probed, the pins that were put in. they remained stable. But he wasn't a medic, he couldn't see any physical reason for the pain, which meant it was all mantel.

Kakashi came back downstairs, Inoichi stood excepting the book.

"Thank you Kakashi, let me know when she enters REM sleep."

The copy-Nin nodded and knelt beside her. Kakashi had done this more then once on fellow Anbu.

Inoichi sat at the table and began to read.

Miya wanted the world to swallow her whole, her face was beet red. Turns out having Genma stay with her was harder than she thought it would be.

"Y-You herd that?"

Genma similes. "Kinda hard not to darling."

Miya groaned and hid behind her hands.

"There's nothing to be ashamed about, darling. It's human nature."

"Human nature or not you weren't supposed to here me." She whined, hint of shame creeping into her voice.

"Hey," Genma pulled her hands away from her face. He looked somewhat amused, along with some concern. "Darling, come on, there's no need to be ashamed."

She looked away, "I-I'm sorry, I-I can't control myself, sometimes, it-it must have been frustrating for you to hear me?"

"Well, I won't lie, it was, but it's your home, your allowed to do as you please." He dropped her hands tilted her chin up to meet his gaze. "What is it darling, something bothering you?"

"I-I just us, I mean, you know what I did last night, sometimes I can't,…..control myself…..I'm worried I'll cheat on you.."

It was her biggest fear, she could never have a stable relationship with any man, because she would always end up cheating on them. Not by choice ever. She tried to be faithful, but each time the men couldn't keep up with the bedroom demands, so, she would go looking elsewhere. It still shames her to thinks about it.

"Oh, honey," he says cupping her face. "there's something I need to tell you too." He lets go of her face run's a hand down his face. "I'm a shinobi, and as such sometimes I have seduction missions."

"So, you'll be cheating on me too?"

"No, it's a mission nothing more than that, but I need to know If you would be ok with it?"

Miya thought about it. "Y-you sleep with other people on mission, to-to what gain information?"

"Yea, mostly sometimes to torcher, now I don't like doing it, but if the mission requires it then I have too."

"Ok, so,…..what-what about me? Can-can you deal with me not been able to wait?"

"Yes, absolutely though they will be conditions Miya, I don't like the idea of you offering ya self to just any one. You can sleep with whoever you choose to but, not drunk. You will remember who you slept with no shaming yourself ever."

Miya nodded

"I can't believe we are even talking about this. I mean the last guy I went out with…wasn't so happy called me a whore."

"Shinobi roll differently sweetheart. We know not to waist life. We only get one." Genma grinned. "So, are we a cupel now?"

Miya blushed. "Y-Yea, but um."

"Relax darling no rush, we will take things slowly ok, how about a real date tonight yea?"

"Sure, that sound good."

Alright then pick you up at eight"

Miya smiled, this man, this incredible man didn't judge her in fact he still wants her, even after she told him, that she might not be able to wait for him. She really wanted this to work, she really wanted him.

No one has ever made her feel like this not even Sato.

She was a little curious about what he did during those seduction mission, she wondered how good he is in bed.

Heat pooled at her core.

"Undress me with those pretty eyes all you want darling," he grinned bent down locked eyes with her, removing his Senbon, he kissed her, Miya felt how soft and gentle his lips brushed hers, she parted her lips, she felt him smirk against her own, his tongue plundered her moth, she let him. A small moan escaped her. He pulled back and chuckled.

"Now, you can make as much noise as you want." He says "Just remember to drink the pink tea." He gave her one last quick peck and in a puff he was gone.

Miya huffed, "That man, he already knows how to get me all hot and bothered." She stood, headed to her bedroom, reached in to the toy draw, and smiled. "Maybe I can be happy." She mused.

Genma, puffed into the Hokage office took up position.

"You late Genma?"

"Ah, sorry Hokage-sama it won't happen again."

Minato hummed not looking up from his dally onslaught of paperwork "Will this relationship, compromise you?" he asked tone light. Minato knew Genma, Knew the reputation he had gained, he knew none of it was true. He was asking not as his Kage but as his friend.

"No, it won't, like I said it won't happen again, I-I was late because I slept in, I have been on guard, since Miya's ex broke into her apartment."

"I see," Minato put down his pen, "I may have a solution but it's an experiment of Kushina's and it's not perfected yet, but she wants someone to try it out. You my friend fit the bill."

Genma grimaced "What-what does it do? It not going to blow Miya up is it?"

"Ah, no, you will be the main contributor Miya a secondary since its her home. It will alert you to anyone who enters, unfortunately it can't distinguish against civilians and shinobi, but the seal is only set to alert you, nothing more. That's why it's an experiment."

"That seems tame for Kushina?"

"She did try to make it talk but that didn't end so well…" he trailed off, "Trust me it's better this way."

Genma nodded. "Then I'll take it thanks."

Minato reached into his draw and pulled out a scroll and tossed to Genma the man caught it easily.

"Now" Minato pushed away from his desk "Since you're late the others nominated you to accompany me."

"Where are we going?"

"The orphanage."

Gemma grimaced but excepted his fate. Minato placed his hand on the Mans's shoulder and flashed to just outside of the orphanage. The children would be started if he suddenly appeared inside.

The snow was still falling gently the children played outside, making snowmen, snow angels and was that an igloo? Happy squeals as they had a snowball fight.

The Yondaime watched with a small on his face. This was piece this was what minting that pace was all about.

He had given Genma enough time to regain his equilibrium.

Entering through the gates the children stopped there playing to murmur among themselves.

"Hokage-sama is here"

"Someone get Gran."

"He's so cool"

"I want to become a strong Ninja like him."

Minato smiled, waved as he walks through the sea of children.

"That's enough children" came the stern voice of the caretaker.

Minato noted that she was looking far better than his previous visits, since she now has the help, she needs the stress and worry as eased the woman health has returned.

"Your wife is already here Hokage-sama, she's waiting for you."

Minato nodded, and followed her into the house.

There where more children inside, some baking in the kitchen some making art's and crafts.

He gave a small wave to the teen Seth, who looked alarmed at his presence.

The Anbu that had been tasked with keeping an eye on him has reported no Ill will towards the village, or any lasting effects of Danzo.

Approaching the top of the stars he could here Kushina's voice, filled with warmth and laughter, it filled his heart with such joyfulness.

"I'll leave you alone, if you need anything please don't hesitate to aske." She bowed and left.

Genma positioned himself beside the door.

Minato entered. The scene that greeted him made his chest fill with joy,

Kushina sat on the floor playing with Aoi. She looked up at Minato, he saw some of the light had now returned to her eyes. When she was told that she couldn't have more children some of that light had faded. But seeing her now so happy, gave him such happiness he could barely contain it.

"Honey come over here" Kushina backend.

So, he did, he sat on the floor next to his wife, the girl Aoi was sat playing with some doll's Kushina had brought.

"She's beautiful Minato. Oh, she so smart, too." She cooed.

The small girl, looked up at him with big bright violet eyes, and smiled up at him. "Hokage-sama play with me?" she beamed.

Minato chuckled and excepted the doll she held out for him.

For the next hour he played dolls drank imagery tea, much to Kushina amusement, he enjoyed every minute of it.

"Can we take her home now?" Kushina asked.

"Tonight, we need to talk to Naruto first."

Kushina nodded he himself was excited. His family, was about to grew by one.

Inoichi closed the book, it was as he thought the author had not given the character enough time to heal. But he could see why Sara liked it.

"Inoichi, she's in REM sleep." Kakashi says. Inoichi stands places the book on the table, he heads over to the sofa and knees down as Kakashi stands.

"I shouldn't be too long, however you know what to do if her vitals become unstable?"

Kakashi nodded.

Civilians were extremely sensitive to a Mind-walk, its very intrusive, not to mention a strain on there senses.

"She'll likely have a migraine, I'd suggest a dark room, and pain killers, when she wakes."

Inoichi didn't miss the hint of worry, that lingered in the Copy-Nin's lone onyx eye.

"She'll be fine Kakashi, she can get past this." The Mind-Walker reassured.

As expected Kakashi didn't say anything. Inoichi smiled as he saw the blush creeping up behind his mask.

Rather than embarrass the man further, he let it be.

Inoichi inhaled once, before making the hand signs for his clan jutsu.

Placing his hand on her head, he had to be careful not to overlord it, if she went in to shook, she would kick him out before he had even begun.

As always, a large brain stood in front of him, he paced his hand on the stem, and slowly coxed her mind to open up to him, forcing it would only hurt her.

Quite fitting that he found himself in a library, shelves lined, with scrolls and books each one a memory.

He walked the along the rows and rows of shelves, until he came across a cracked shelf. Ah there it is, he thought, there where two items sat on the shelf and he had to remind himself she wasn't' a Shinobi, if she were, he would expect two or three shelves like this. He picked up a scroll the other was a book, he felt the grief and loss, and new that the scroll was about the accident in the academy and the loss of her friend.

He carefully placed it back on the shelf.

He picked up the book, felt her pain her fear and her anguish. He knew this was the traumatic event he was looking for.

He opened the book and noted the new pages not warn by the years of her old memory's, I Wonder if Shin attacking her has added to the book, interesting, no wondered her nightmares have become more frequent.

He didn't need those memory's so he flicked further back, found the one that started it all.

He channels his charka though the book, and felt the memory open up to him.

He viewed it from her point of view, for her the day was like any other, she walked around an a hot summers day.

He didn't want to waste time viewing the whole of her day, so he skipped forward.

To the pint where she bumped In to the old veteran Shinobi, Sara didn't see him coming, Inoichi did, just in view of her sight, he saw the man stagger culch at his own head.

When Sara bumped into, she apologized. Asking if he was alright.

The man lost in his own mind grabbed her arm and broke it.

It was her scream that tore the man out of his demented mind, he picked her up took her to an abandoned ware house.

He let the memory pic up there.

It was dark, she could smell her own blood, her arm hurt so much. He had left her for hours, she couldn't hardly move, bits of dried blood, fell from her arm the bone poked through the skin, torn flesh red angry, she sobbed, any movement caused torrents of pain.

The door to the abandoned building opened reveling the man grey hair rubbery skin. Dead eyes.

"Now then let's fix you up, shall we?" his tone was coxing as he approached.

Inoichi felt her pain it took him to one knee as the man tried to fix it, over and over again.

Sara wasn't conscious for some of it, something Inoichi was thankful for. No wonder her phantom pain still lingers.

"Please, no more I-I promise I won't tell anyone it was you please…."!

"No, no, no, no, they will know it was me. I have to fix it.."

"Please…"

Sara was sure she would never use her arm again, she was sure she was going to die, here.

The man pushed down on the protruding bone; Sara screamed. More blood came out. Bone grinding against bone. The pain was agonising.

"Stop squirming, will ya," he slapped her across the face.

He saw Minato and himself enter through the door, Minato engaged the man as he was once again lost in his own mind.

Inoichi tended to Sara. He stopped the memory there, he knew what happened next.

He stood back in her mind scape.

He placed the book down, and summoned Sara. She blinked owlishly up at him.

Looking around curiously, "Is this my mind?" she asked in wondered and awe.

"Yes, part of it anyway."

"It's a library?"

"It's different for each person, for me it's a meadow filled with flowers."

"Oh, how fascinating" she says tilting her head to the side. "Are you ever tempted to see what other people are?"

Inoichi chuckled "Yes, quiet often but it would go against my effects if I peaked at everyone's not to mention intrusive."

"Ah, true I guess."

"Alright time to move on to your nightmares." He says noticing how her mind stiffens, fear takes hold. "I'll be with you all of the time, and you won't feel any pain." He reassures.

Her mind relaxes slightly, but he is reminded how fragile civilian minds are, he could easily brake her with a flick of his finger.

He turned away from her making hand sighs a door appears he beckons her, she hesitantly follows him through.

He led her to her nighties upon arriving he found them in the abandoned warehouse Sara followed and froze at the sight in front of her. She grabbed her arm.

"There's no pain Sara, I control what you feel." He says, softly.

The first thing he noticed was it wasn't the old Shinobi it was Shin, the second thing he noticed was despite been in a building it was raining. Ah the bedwetting. He mused.

This is easy to pick apart, compared to what he normally did this was a walk in the park. Though he new it wouldn't be easy for Sara.

"Let's get started shall we?"

He would and could help her, so, for the next few hours he helped her talk through what she felt, how she could deal with it better, each time he re-winds the dream back and they watched it again, and again. Until she felt like the dream could no longer harm her.

Her mind was traumatized by the original event having Shin strike her had triggered the old event, to resurface. When he played the dram back again the rain had stopped, her fear had lessoned.

He was confident that the bedwetting would stop now.

The arm, that was trickier. He wasn't surprised when she would still feel the phantom pain. He knew because he felt it for her.

He would need to do more work with that, but for now, she'd done enough, he could feel the mental drain, she was mentally exhausted.

Kakashi sat and waited, it was all he could do, he checked her vitals again, she was stable. He didn't like the worry for her that sat in his chest. She was a mission plane and simple.

Yet he was drawn to her like a moth to a flame. He had never met anyone who captivated him more then she has.

An hour past then two. She remained stable throughout.

On the third hour, Inoichi snapped his eyes open. The ash blond, blinked several times, before his pupil-less gaze landed on Kakashi's

"All went well." He says, standing rubbing his head.

Kakashi knows Inoichi well enough to know if he uses his own chakra the man suffers a migraine.

"She may suffer residual effects from the nightmares, but with in a day or two you should see an improvement."

Kakashi nodded, glancing down at her.

"She should wake soon, again a dark room and painkillers if you have them." He moved away from the sofa and sleeping Sara. Kakashi followed him to the door, shaking hands with the man.

"Any problems summon me."

"Thank you Inoichi, the bed wetting was becoming a problem"

"No doubt, it should be better now." He smiles, and leveas Kakashi.

The snow is falling heaver then it was a few hours ago, Kakashi closed the door, headed back to the sofa, he scooped Sar up in to his arms and headed upstairs, Bull followed the large dog grabbed her book, Inoichi had left on the table.

Kakashi laid Sara down on the bed in the spare room Bull put the book gently on her nightstand.

Kakashi turned and closed the curtains, they were black out once.

He allowed his eye to adjust to the now dark room, he placed the covers over her. She looks like a sleeping puppy, he thought.

He left, patting Bull on the head, the Bull dog licked his master's hand.

"Stay protect," he ordered. Bull panted heavy the only way he could verbalise his answers. "Good boy."

Naruto, felt incurably hurt, his chest felt tight, the ache wouldn't go away no matter how much he willed it too.

The boy cried, he cried, and cried. His cobalt blue eyes swam with tears of despair.

How could they? He asked himself, how could they get a little sister, aren't I good enough?

He angry wiped away at his tears, as he dashed through the snow-covered street. He knew he didn't have long before his dad found him, his dad always finds him, no matter where he hides.

But he had to run away he had too because they didn't love him anymore.

The cold stings his whiskered cheeks but he doesn't care, he doesn't care that his mom and dad don't love him.

The tears flow faster, blaring his vision, he doesn't see the civilian, that was in his way, he barrels in to them. They both roll.

Somehow, he lands on something soft

"Ow"

The person underneath him shift, he looks up, to see bright green eyes and orange hair.

"Oh, hey Naruto?" she halts looking at him "What wrong?" she asked.

Naruto wasn't' expecting the nice lady form the library and Sara friend.

"Hey, kid what's wrong? Are the villagers been mean to you again?" she asked a look of anger crossed her face but it wasn't 'directed at him.

"My-My-My mom and Dad don't love me anymore." He walled. Latching on to her coat he cried.

Miya felt a surge of panic go through her as the villagers stop to star at the scene Naruto was causing.

Miya tilted her head at the crying boy she wasn't' good with kids,

Oh, Kami, oh, Kami, what do I do? Where the hell is Sara when I need her.

"Err, kid, come on it's ok, I'm sure that's not true."

Naruto walled more,

"Okay, okay kid, let's go, and get some hot chocolate huh? You can tell me what's wrong."

Naruto sniffed, but nodded, he got up off Miya who stood dusting snow of her red coat. She held out her and for him to take.

The boy took her hand, she led him to a small tea shop. She thought the owner wasn't going to let Naruto in, but he appaired to think better of it.

She ordered coffee for herself and hot chocolate for Naruto.

He looks so solemn, Miya thought.

"So, what's all this about?"

At first, he didn't answer he looked away stubbornly.

"Kid, I'm not Sara I don't know how to pry information out of kids, other than giving them sweets." She paused "Do you want a sweet?" she asked.

Naruto looked up at her and nodded Miya gave him one.

"Now spill,"

"My mom and don't. they-they don't love me anymore"

"Why do you say that Naruto?" she asked gently.

"There getting a new kid a sister."

"Oh…" it suddenly dawned her Miya that Naruto thought he was getting replaced.

"Naruto, don't you want a little sister?"

"No" he crossed his arms and puffed out his cheeks Miya thought it was so cute

"Well, I didn't want a brother ever but I got one. Though he acts way older than me, I even call him Big bro. even though I'm the oldest."

"You-Your mom and dad didn't get rid of you?"

"No!" she frowned hearing the last words of her mother. Get out I don't want a whore In my hose.

Miya shook her head, "No, look there not replacing you Naruto, they think you will make a great big brother who will protect his little sister. I mean you are strong right?"

"Yea. Yea I am I'm going to be Hokage ya'know." He looks down with a saddened face, "But doesn't that mean that they will love her more than me?"

Miya's face softened "Oh, no sweety they will love both of you." she reached out patted the boys cheek, "Who couldn't love you, your so cute."

Naruto batted her hand away. But he smiled. "Dad, said, that but it hurt ya'know.I thought it was like the villagers pretending to like me , I thought, they were only pretending too, and once they got another kid they wouldn't want me."

Oh boy was this brining back memories Miya thought, she remembered how jealous she was of him, oh the things she would do to get rid of him she even tried to mall him somewhere. The guilt rose up in her, all he ever did was love her. Some siter I turned out to be, she thought bitterly.

"I think your mom and dad love you very much. Maybe they wanted to give you some one to play with."

He fiddled with his thumbs "Do ya, do ya think I would be a good big brother?" he asked looking up with those sad cobalt eyes,

Miya smiled "The best." She says ruffling his hair. "Now drink up."

Naruto nodded and grinned she watches him as he drink his hot chocolate. Her heart melts. Though thinking of her brother.

Maybe I should write to him it has been a while.

Miya saw a woman with red hair enter the shop she was looking directly at Naruto.

"Hey kid, think your mom is here."

Naruto turned around and waved.

"I gotta go now, but um. Thanks for the hot chocolate and ya know been nice to me"

"Well we are friends right?"

Naruto grinned, and held his fist out to her she pumped fist with him.

He got up of his chair and rushed to his mother who wrapped her arms round him. "Where have you been I've been so worried about you ya'know."

"Sorry mom, but ya know what I'm ready to be a big brother now."

The redhead stood. She mothed the words "Thank you" to Miya, who smiled and waved.

"Oh, is that so Naruto, well in that case you can help me pick out some stuff for her ok?"

They left Miya could no longer here them.

She drank the coffee and paid for both of them. She gathered up her things and headed out into the snow. She shivered.

The snow was getting pretty deep now, but Konoha was still a bustling place to be a little bit of snow didn't stop the villagers. Besides the shinobi would clear the paths if it got too deep.

"Been a long time ain't it sugar plum" the sickly sweet voice says.

Miya dropped her bag on to the snow-covered ground. An arm is linked through hers. She can't' speak. She dear not speak.

"Lets walk shall we." It wasn't a question the tone of voice told her it was an order. Miya squeezed her eyes shut to stop the tears.

Why, is here? How is he here. Genma help me.

The sound of bone cracking lingered in the air, the scream that left he dry throat, faded into nothingness, the pain in her arm was so intense tears sprang to her violet eyes. She gripped it tightly. A blinding pulse, behind her eyes caused her to let go of her arm and clutch at her head.

She rolled to the side, something soft nudging her back on to the bed.

She couldn't open her eyes, the pain was so intense she panicked, confusion, set in, she didn't know where she was.

Was she still in the wheelhouse? Was her arm still broken? Is that why it hurt so much?

She had to get out. She had to get away. She rolled away from the soft thing that nudged her, her legs dangle off the floor, she pushes herself off, landing on the floor, unsteadily on her feet.

She tries to force her eyes to open and glimpses a door. She sees a tall shadow move in front of the light, from the door.

"Woe, Sara!" two hands settle on her shoulder, she flinches, pulls away ducks under the man's arm. She heads for the door, her right wrist is captured she can't help a small yelp, her arm still hurts.

The man's grip slackens but not enough to pull away from this time.

"Easy, Sara, your safe." The man says. She tugs and pulls but he doesn't let go.

There's an audible sigh, as she is picked up, she gasped and struggles, before been placed on what she guessing is a bed.

"No!" she hollows "Let me go, I proms I won't tell." She hisses as the man grabs both of her wrist, and pines them to the bed, he straddles her.

Sara struggles increase, she tries to open her eyes again but the room is dark, she can't see much other then the shadow of the man holding her down.

Fear fills her, fuelling her struggles despite the pain in her head and arm.

The man says nothing as she struggles, soon her struggles lesson, as she realises, she's not going anywhere.

"Your safe," he says again. "Bull, light," he commands Sara flinched at his tone.

Behind her eye lids she sees light, pain throbs in her head, she groans. Still despite that, she forces her eyes open, seeing silver, and black, she blinks, tries again, a face come in to focus, before she had to close her eyes again.

"K-Kakashi?" she breaths. Relief flooded through her, she wasn't' in the wheelhouse.

"Mmm, it's me" he says loosening his grip, but not getting up off her just yet.

"Wh-What happened?"

"You let Inoichi walk through your nightwear, remember? He said there would be residual effects." He says, "I guess you thought you were in your nightwear?"

Sara nodded, winced, Kakashi shifted his weight, and released her hands before he got up off her.

Sara laid there for a moment before she sat up, she winced at the throbbing pain in her head.

"Easy" he says "The jutsu it's self is why you have the headache. Here" he hands her a cup of water he had waiting on the night stand; she takes it in her left hand. He holds out his other hand two white pills sit in his palm.

"Pain killers,"

Sara takes them without a fuss. She hands the glass back to him.

"S-Sorry, Kakashi, I-I thought I was somewhere else"

Kakashi nods, Sara rubes her right arm, willing the pain to go away.

"After the jutsu it's disorientating for a while, but Inoichi says that the nightmares won't be as bad now. There's already some improvement"

"Huh?"

"You may have woken up panicked but you didn't louse control of your bladder."

Sara made on O shape with her moth, he was right. She was amazed, at how simple it was, Inoichi had pointed out the rain in the dream. And how her body responded to that.

"Woe that man is a genius"

"Indeed, he is," Kakashi agrees.

Sara turns her head silty closing her eyes as more pian assaults her.

"You should rest, even if you don't sleep, I know how painful those headaches are."

"Yea, your right,"

"Do you need anything?"

"Um, no thank you."

Sara shuffles back on to the bed. "Do you need a dog?" he asked.

"No, I just want to lay in the dark for a while."

He leaves taking Bull with him.

Sara lays down, in the dark her headache lessons but doesn't go away, she holds her right arm cross her chest, feeling the old brake. She caresses it softly, telling herself that it's ok, it's not broken.

She must have dosed off at some point when she wakes up she realises that she hasn't had a nightmare. No something else had woken her, she felt a breeze, sees the curtain move like someone had just stepped through her window.

She screams the figure stills.

Kakashi is suddenly there. Pinning the intruder to the wall. The pack sound the bed.

"Fuck Kakashi it's me!" she hears a man hiss.

"Light" Kakashi orders Pakkun turns on the bedside lamp.

Sara sees Genma been held at Kunai point.

"Genma you know better then that. And this isn't my room." The copy-Nin says as he backs off.

"I'm were and I wasn't thinking!"

"Obviously. I could have killed you if I hadn't of smelled you first."

"Sorry ok? Look something happed to Miya"

"What about Miya?" Sara asked.

"she's missing, I can't find her we had a date, when I went to her place, I found this." He pulls out a letter from his flack jacket, "Some of her stuff gone too."

Sara noticed how worried the man looked.

He handed her the letter she read it.

Sorry Genma things aren't working out, don't look for me I've gone home

Sara frowned it looked like her friend's handwriting, but she placed her hand to the edge of the paper and channeled her chakra thought it. She winced. The pain in her arm had yet to fade.

"It's not hers, she didn't write this, she tried to write something else here look" the two men came around the bed to see, sure enough something was scribbled out.

"It says' Genma help me" she looked up at them "She didn't leave of her own free will, she was taken"

Genma sowre, pulled of his bandana. "Sato"

Sara hands the letter to Kakashi who sniffs it.

"The cent it's not just hers it's the same form the apartment the night she thought someone had gotten In, it smells of sex and drugs."

Miya was gone, taken and from what she told Sara about Sato she was very worried for her friend.

I'm so, sorry that took so long, I wasn't meant to take that long of a brake. But COVID messed me up for a while my dad was really ill, (Thought was going to louse him) then, my laptop died, it just puff and died, and I didn't back anything up, so I lost quite a lot of work, I had to rewrite this chapter again. And it took me longer this time around.

All in all, I'm better now. I have a new laptop, and THANK YOU so much for the reviews, they kept me going.

Ok, so Miya yea, Sato has her but…I'm sorry things will get pretty dark with her,

Oh, how do you like with what' s happing with Kakashi Sara? Do tell so I know how fast to move it along.

And Minato and Kushina have a new addition to the family. I love Aoi, and couldn't just leave her out of the story.

I haven't started on the next chapter yet, but I thought I had better get this one out since you have all waited so long.

Hope you all are safe and well.
