Kakashi could feel his heart thumping so hard in his chest that it felt as if it could burst from him any moment, not from nervousness or fear but from excitment and impatience.The hand that rested on the armchair sweated greatly but yet he gripped onto the material, feeling that if he didn't he might very well float away he was so lightheaded. His top teeth bit down on his bottom lip and he could begin to taste blood.His foot made a thumping sound as he repeatively tapped it on the carpeted floor.His eyes, not covered by the headban he usually wore, lay unfocused on the floor ahead of him.A constant ticking of the clock above echoed throughout the small waiting room inwhich he, well,waited.Void of any other person, Kakashi sat alone in a small chair surround by four tall blank walls.
He suddenly snapped to reality when the sound of the far door opening rang in is well tuned ears.He immediatly rose to his shaky feet as his once unfocused eyes widened in anticipation, completely directed on the small back that exited the far room and entered the waiting room. Pink hair glistened beautifully under the lights built into the ceiling, as it was tied up into a loose ponytail which allowed many stray hairs to fall onto her soft shoulders and back.She wore a spaggettii strap black top that showed her well defined arms and shoulder blades.And the knee length red skirt she wore seemed to wave as she walked.Shutting thedoor behind her, she turned around to finally face him.
His heart stopped when her expression showed nothing.Giving no clue to what the answer that they had come here for may be.A sudden sinking feeling filled him as if his heart had litteraly fell into his stomache at the possibly of a no.But then her face changed drastically, her eyes clouded with tears of joy and a huge smile lite up on her face.Kakashi's breathe came back to him in huge waves and he began to inhale deep intakes to fill his lungs with the air needed due to the fact that his heart had suddenly remembered how to beat once more.Slowly ,as ifhis moving in any way would somehow change her expression back into the blank one she wore earlier or worse, make her cry, he nodded his head questionally.
"Yes!"She cried, tears pouring down her cheeks, as she furiously nodded.Kakashi laughed shorty, almost like a snort, a huge smile appearing on his maskless face as well to perfectly match her own.Feeling his knees, already weak, transform into pure jelly when he stummbled slightly to grab the chair beside him before he fell over completely.Squealing in excitment, she ran towards him, as he opened his arms after caughting his breath.Leaping into them, they tightly embraced her as her slender legs wrapped around his waist.Kakashi laughed as he never thought he was ever capable of,as Sakura hugged onto him as if he was her lifeline.
"We're gonna have a baby, Kakashi."She whispered.Kakashi squeezed his eyes shut as relief ran through him, feeling as if the heavy burden of waiting had been instantly removed from his shoulders.No more waiting.They knew the answer to the question both had been dying to know.After the first year of trying with no success he was beginning to worry that thier dream of having a family would remain just that.But now, now all doubt had been lifted and his vision had once again become clear.
"Yeah, we are."Was all that he able to respond when the lose for words hit him like a tone of bricks.
But almost within a blink of an eye, the once white room that surrounded the expecting parents turned pitch black in an instant as the lights completely vanished.Gasping, Kakashi felt Sakura being ripped from his strong arms which embraced her and swiftly dragged away into the infinate darkness.Frantically , he turned around in circles trying to her, but without success.HIs cry out stuck in his throat as any sound no matter how small failed to peice the death silence.
"SAKURA!"Kakahi screamed out, finally finding his voice as his body shot straight up in an abrupt wake from memories.Finding that the surface below him was soft and warm.Suddenly he felt a strong hand stop his movements then a gentler one rest on his sweatly back.
"Just calm down Kakashi.Take deep breathes."His eyes, wide with terror, sharply turned next to him to see Iruka sitting beside his bed in a visitors chair.An expression of worry painted on his face.Kakashi's bare chest rose up and down frantically trying to feed oxygen to his heart that beat madly in this chest, faster then it had ever beat before.His head was spinning as a result giving the feeling of lightheadness.His vision wasn't as clear as he wanted it to be, but even through the fog he managed to see his old friend beside him.His silver hair fell over his Sharigen, effectivly covering it at the absence of his headband and mask, but failed to ease the sharp pain the shot threw the gift from Orbito in waves."It's going to be alright."Iruka's voice, usually soft and comforting, provided nothing but an irriatation at this moment.
"Where's Sakura!"Kakashi cried, remembering the strange dream he had, praying that in was only a dream.He swiftly shifted from the hospital bed so the Iruka's hand slipped from his shoulder, and with surprising ease pushed himself off the bed.It must only be the the Sharigen that was used too much yesterday...Yesterday.His gaze looked up, however, when yet another hand once again stop his attempt to move towards the exit.This time he say Genma gazing at his with strange sadness..Kakashi never say this look on his face before.
"She's gone."He spoke sofly, almost hestitantly as if his words would trigger strange behaviour of Kakashi."Koji took her."Kakashi swallowed the lump in his throat, as his mismatched eyes narrowed considerably, remaining unfocused even though he looked right into Genma's eyes.Damn it.Kakashi mentally cursed.How dare Koji, what does he think he's playing at?
Genma shifted nervously as Kakashi's eyes gained life again, knowing that Kakashi was planning to do something stupid."Then you're standing in my way of getting her back."Kakashi replyed calmly, as he made an attempt to move around his friend that stood before him, but Genma's hand stubbornly stopped the movement.
"I'm sorry, Kakashi.But Tsunde gave us strict oders to remain here untill she can sort this out.Also to stop you from doing anything stupid. like charging into Stone singal handed."He replyed.Kakashi chuckled deeply with false amusment, taking Iruka and Genma aback.
"Getting my wife and child back falls under stupid actions, now?"
"You know I love Sakura.She's like a sister to me."Genma replyed.Kakashi calmly shut his eyes, nodding slowly signaling that what he spoke of was true."And I'm totally in agreement to majorly kicking this guys ass, but Tsunde's on the phone with Stone Hokage as we speak.She'll get this whole mess sorted out."
Tsunde's fist pounded angerily on the wooden desk infront of her, successfully creating a rather big crack ratiating through it.
"What the hell do you think you're playing at!"She cried into the phone she held in her hand.
"Tsunde I assure you that this lastest news about you're student comes as much as a surprise to me as it is to you."She heard the male hokage of stone speak calmly through the other end.
"What the hell is that supposed to mean!You're telling me that you so little control over your country to not know when my Pupil is kiddnapped into your borders!"
"I am very willing to provide all my support into this matter and get Miss Sakura home and safe but you're going to have to coroperate with Stone Shinobi."
"Coroperate?It is my understanding that you and you're neighbouring counrty sand has betrayed us, and now you're expecting me to coroperate with the enemy?"Tsunde snorted with a false amusment.
"Betray? What are you talking about?"Tsunde sighed
"Is of no use to deny it now."
"I'm not denying anything Miss Tsunde, me and Sand have always had a treaty with Leaf you know this."
"Don't 'miss Tsunde' me! I want you to find Sakura Hatake and have he returned to Konaha by 3:00 today or I'm going to have every singal Anbu and Jounin hunt YOU down and heads will roll!"Tsunde slammed the phone down, sinking into her large chair with a heavy sigh.
Sakura entered the large bathroom built into the room, shutting and locking it after her.She looked around, hating the differences that this bathroom had from hers back home.Not seeing the blue and pink toothbrush that she kept in a cup on the sink for herself and Kakashi.Or the flower wallpaper she had convinced Kakashi would be perfect for the bathroom.There was no soft carpit beneath her swollen feet as she was so use to feeling every morning, must most of all she hated that this strange room didn't seem like Kakashi scent.How she missed him.He must be worried sick by now at her absence.
Her gaze shifted down to the new clothes Kana had gave her, that she held in her hand.Grateful to be able to get out the revealing hosiptal gown that she presentally wore, but hesitate to if the clothes of a skinny women would fit over her large stomache.Setting the pants down she held theshirt up to examin it.Surprised to find a, yet pretty...
"Maternity Shirt?"Sakura whispered to herself in shock.Kana did say that she was married, maybe...Sakura shock her head.This kind women was nice enough to give her clothes, she shouldn't mess with her busniess.So she slipped the gown from her body and put on her fresh clothes.Relieved to no longer have that good awful hospital clothes on and instead now wearing proper black pants that fully covered her legs down to her bare feet and loose shirt that fit her condition perfectly.She never had a kiddnapper that gave her fresh clothes, a nice room and plenty of anything else she desired before.She was beginning to think Koji really had a thing for her and it wasn't just revenge for the death of his brother be Kakashi's hands.Even if it might have started out like that.
Her gaze turned to the far door when she heard a knock.She could immediatly sense the presence of Koji and it made her extremly nervous.But just for the hell of it..
"Who is it?"She asked as she stepped outside of the bathroom.
"It's me."She heard his reply as if he knew she could recongize his voice anywhere and she was waiting for his visit.It sickened her that he thought he knew her so well.
"Go away."She replyed coldly and made her way towards the bed.Needing to rest her tired feet from standing way to much.
"But you must be hungry my love.Allow me to feed you."
"Hell no, you're not 'feeding' me!"She cried although she was starving.And in her present condition it wasn't good to go this long without food."I'm not hungry.Besides Kakashi will be coming to get me soon and he'll feed me thanks."She snapped and gratefully sank to the surprisingly comfortable bed which was neatly made with Baby blue sheets that shined in the light of the window.
"Do not be course with me my luv, but I fail to believe that that bastard has the capablity of caring about you that much."Sakura shut her eyes in frustration, trying with all her will power not to kill him.
"Shut up, you don't know anything!"She replyed threw clenched teeth."You're a delusional freak who can't find a girl of thier own so they kiddnape them!"She snapped, gasping in surprise when she heard the door open.Swallowing nervously as he entered the room, she managed to appear calm to him, or atleast hoped she did.He didn't bother shutting the door surely knowing her escape was imposible while the barrior Jutus still stood.Sakura was relieved that Koji stopped his advances before he reached her bed, but confused as to why the man fell into silence, merely staring at her that gave her chills.
"What? Stop staring at me!"She snapped.
"It angers me that you willingly permitted Kakashi's hands, hands the have been permiatly stained with blood, to touch you."Koji growled in anger, Sakura noticed that his hands clenched into tight balls at his sides as he spoke.
"Kakashi's my husband, I love him."
"Only I am permitted to touch you like me, me who you love and loves in return!"Sakura suddenly felt his hands roughly grab her bare shoulders in amazing speed from where he once stood.Sakura gasped as a sharp pain shot threw her stomache, resulting in the pain she felt in her arms to become unimmportant.
Koji noticed her face crunch with pain and immediatly releaed her from his grasp, retreating back in fear that he had injured her.He watched her shoulders hunch over as her hands wrapped around her swollen stomache, crying out as crippling pain shot through her body.
"Sakura I-"Koji was cut off when he was suddenly roughly thrown from where he stood, back untill his body slammed against the already pretty messed up wall.
Kana now stood firm between Koji and Sakura.
"Kana?"
"Keep where you stand, Brother.!"She order, backing towards where Sakura shoke with pain."Sakura, what's wrong?"She asked without removing her sight off the visably shaken Koji who did as she toild and didn't move.
"I'm having contractions..the baby."She spoke threw each deep laboured breathing.She stroked her stomache as the pian ended. for now.
"Koji."She whispered,nervously."Please, you must stop this.Return Sakura back to Konaha."
"I cannot."Koji whispered.
"Damnit Koji, do you realize what you're doing! You're endangering the life of Sakura and her unborn child!But you're endangering yourself.Kakashi will come, you can be sure of that.Tsunde will bring Anbu.!Uou cannot fight off the entire Leaf country Koji!Not even with you're eye.!"Kakna pleaded, Koji hung his head and remianed silent for a short time.
"Then let them come."He whisperd finally and turned to leave.
"Koji!"Kana cried.
"Call a docter Sister."He replyed before he disappeared.
