…………….silent promise…………….

The door to the room creaked as it was slowly pushed open, allowing light to illuminate the dimly lit area. A figure lingered in the doorway, his eyes scanning the room only to rest on a huddled form.

Sakura still form sat in front of the marking on the floor, her arms drew her knees up to her chest, and her head bowed allowing her hair to form a curtain of pink around her face.

"What do you want Kakashi-sensei?" she asked, trying to keep the quiet sniffles from disrupting her calm, impassive voice.

The tall silver haired figure stood in the doorway, his hands buried deep within his pockets and his posture was rather slouched. His ever-famous mask covered half his face, hiding his grim expression and his hitae headband dipped unevenly down on one side to cover his prominent shirigan eye. An eerie silence overwhelmed the room as he continued to watch her. Her muffled sobs snatched him from his overbearing thoughts. "Sakura…I'm here to take you back to the hospital, you should be resting…."

She could hear his footsteps as he approached her. Kneeling beside her he placing his hand softly on her shoulder. She flinched at the contact and averted her eyes like she was ashamed with herself. He drew back his hand, looking for a moment before standing again.

"Sakura I know you are going through a hard time and I want you to know I will always be there for you...but…I cant help you unless you let me."

She slowly raised her head and looked up at him, her face pale and her cheeks raw and tear-stained, her eyes red and sore. If Kakashi wasn't wearing his mask Sakura would have seen the very faint smile that graced his lips, he extended his arm.

"Come on Sakura, let's get you back to the hospital," his melodious voice was gentle in communicating the rather urgent suggestion.

Placing her delicate hand in his, he hoisted her to her feet, and slipped his arm around her slim waist to steady her.

Sakura look up at his face before her eyes closed and her body went slack, his other arm slipped under her legs to lift her up. Carrying her bridal style he walk to the door and opened it, glancing back over his shoulder at the living room he made a silent promise. 'Sakura…I'll make sure who ever did this will pay.' Looking down at her unconscious form cradled in his arms, her eyebrows knitted in what appeared to be pain, and he knew that what had happened must be repeating itself over and over in a horrible nightmare. His hand subconsciously brushed across her back, giving a sigh he turned around.

Closing the door behind him he quickly made his way to the hospital, silently hoping that the murder won't change the sweet, righteous girl into a cold and distant person. Murder has done that to many people, Sasuke quickly came to mind. He dismissed that reference quickly and concentrated on the task at hand. She already had to face so many hardships in her life. So many burdens always seem to be placed upon her.
