...A FEW DAYS LATER...

Sakura trailed behind Kakashi as he led her down the bustling streets, His pace was slow which allowed her the time to take in where they were going, only to drift away into her own thoughts 'why of all people were my parents attacked…they didn't have anything of value did they? Why haven't the ANBU caught or at least found out how did it…..damn it!' Arriving at a large apartment building, Kakashi stopped, only to feel her body hit his muscular back with a thud.

With a yelp she fell back but Kakashi's hand quickly grabbed her and pulled her in a half embrace, Sakura stumbled out of his grip nearly losing her balance once again. Once regaining her composure, she looked at him a small smile plastered on her face and she knew he could see that it was force. After the incident she found it difficult to smile, it felt so unnatural to her now, so foreign.

Kakashi simply shook his head giving her a smile (A/N: his face is almost fully cover so you can only tell by his eye n . ; ) and pointed to the building ahead of them, it was a large two-story apartment building.

Walking up to the main door of the building, he opened it wide enough for her to pass and she nodded walking passed him and into her new home. Kakashi walked in and passed her, leading her up a flight of stares before turning right and stopping in front of a wood door, a metal plate with the number 16 hanging proudly on it. (A/N: my favorite number is 16! Yay! ok…I'll shut up now . ;) Reaching into his pant pocket, he pulled out a set of silver keys, and slid one into the lock. Turning it, and pushing the door open, and Sakura saw inside the 3-room apartment. Opening the door and walking inside he motioned for Sakura to fallow, it wasn't the biggest of apartments, but it would do.

The door way led into a average sized living room that doubled as a kitchen that was to the left of the doorway and a large counter separated the rooms, there was a hall way with 2 doors on either side leading into the washroom and bedroom. Walking past him into the leaving room she quickly looked around, before facing him, and she was glade that he was there for her. Naruto and Sasuke had to go on a mission right after parents passed away. They had been gone for over two weeks, but that did not surprise her because they both were Jounin ninjas.

Kakashi showed her around the building and told her where everything was before he departed, and once again, she was alone.

……………………….THAT NIGHT…………………………

Sitting in silence in the bare bedroom of her apartment, the lights remained off and the moon's light peering through the open window showed but the outline of her bed and small dresser.

She was in the corner curled up in a ball, her trembling hand held a kunai, for dear life in front of herself. Pale green eyes darting from one side of the room to the other, shoulders are shaking as she whimpers in fear.

…………………..EVENTS PRIOR…………………….

The door swung open as the sound of footsteps swept across the wood flooring of the apartment room, the sound of keys noisily hitting the shiny counter rang through the room.

Kicking off her sandals, she trudged into her Bedroom shutting the door behind her. Not even bothering to take her equipment off, she flopped down onto her soft bed. Letting out a sigh she closed her eyes letting herself fall into what she hoped would be a blissful sleep…but it wasn't…

……………………DREAM…………………………………

Crimson dripped down the walls, a pool of blood lay at her feet. Her Parents bodies, dead on the floor. A single bloody kunai griped in her hands as she stood over them…..but she wasn't alone, no there where other figures. Black figures, their cruel laughter rang in her ears. One-stepped up to her, a sinister grin on his face, he bent low whispering in her ear. "You're next…." The clatter of the kunai falling to the floor rang in her ears.

…………………BACK………………………………

Naruto walked down the dark night streets, his head hung low and his usual excited and happy look gone. It has been a little longer than two weeks since he, thick brows and Sasuke found Sakura unconscious and her parents killed, and even before he could comfort her and say sorry he was dragged into a mission.

Running is fingers through his messing blond hair he let out an exasperating sigh. 'I should go check on Sakura-chan, but it's so late. Damn…what should I do?' kicking a near by rock he stopped, only to find himself standing in front of the apartment building Sakura in now leaving at. He glanced up at the dark night sky and shrugged 'I'll just have to wait till tomorrow to see her' turning to leave he heard acrash coming from inside.

Turing, he darted into the building a kunai in hand. Reaching apartment 16 he placed a shaking hand on the doorknob and began to turn it. But to his frustration the door was locked and silent sobbing could be plainly heard. Slipping his hand into his back pouch he pulled out two sabon needles, sliding them in the lock and turned them until he heard a soft click. Turning the knob, he swung open the door, darting into the house and making his way to the bedroom. Once Sakura came in view, he stopped dead in his tracks, looking down at the girl made his blood boil and his heart sink.

Walking he knelt down before the curled up form of Sakura and he slowly placed his hand on hers. "Sakura-chan….please give me the kunai" lightly prying the weapon from her hands, he slowly bent down and picked her up. Carrying her bridal style to her bed and softly laying her downhesat down on the edge of the bed. after whispering a soft apology Sakuras eyes flutter shut and she fell into another troubled sleep. Brushing a few stands of pink hair from her face he sighed, he was tired but right now she needed him and he would be there for her.
