Kakashi! He thought closing his eyes, and when he reopened them they were black orbs. "Naruto, follow me now!" He shouted dashing off, and he nodded. "Sakura stay with Tazuna!" Sasuke shouted as he ran past her, and she nodded reluctantly. "Be cautious of any traps Naruto!" He shouted looking around, and Naruto nodded. "Uh right, ok here we come Kakashi Sensei!" He shouted following Sasuke, and Sasuke felt a rush of energy. I was leaning over a tree, and looked really tired. My clothes were ripped, was nearly covered in blood, and I looked really beat up. I had a kunai stuck in my arm, and thigh.

My hair was messed up, and dirty. They finally reached me, and Sasuke sat me down on the ground. He gulped, and shook his head. He couldn't bear to see me like this! "K-kakashi, can you hear me?" He said lifting my head up, and their were bruises on my face. He gasped, and Naruto felt for my pulse. "He's alive at least, just like I knew you would be Kakashi" He said biting his lip, and I nodded slowly. "Sasuke. . . Oh Naruto, what I endured was. . . horrible!" I whispered wheezing, and they gasped. "I can't imagine what Zabuza might have done to you Kakashi, but we will kill him for whatever he put you through" Sasuke said narrowing his eyes, and I looked up at him.

"No, you don't have too. . . Do that just for me, it's not worth dying for. You both. . . Have your whole lives ahead of you! Don't forget your dreams, don't give them all up just to avenge me. . . Ahh!" I said grabbing my side, and Naruto hesitated. "Ah Kakashi Sensei please hang in there, we'll get you to a doctor. We'll get you help, and you'll better in no time!" Naruto said standing up, and Sasuke eyes were watering. "Uh yeah, let's get him out of here. . . Can you walk Kakashi?" He said standing me up, and I leaned over to the side. "Wait where's Tazuna, and Sakura!" I said coughing, and they said in unison, "By the ocean" Naruto said pointing back in the direction they came, and he stared for awhile.

He couldn't see Sakura and Tazuna from where he was! Oh where are they! Maybe they moved over or something. . . Naruto thought biting his lip, and he groaned. Sasuke took my left arm, and Naruto took my right. "In the place where you left us" Naruto added, and I gasped. "You two disobeyed me! I told you to leave with Tazuna, and yet. . . you stayed, why!" I shouted, and Naruto shrugged. "Save you're breath, Kakashi. After all if it weren't for us right now, you'd still be stranded out here by yourself" Sasuke said starting to walk slowly, and Naruto tried keeping in step with him. I looked up in the treetops waiting for Zabuza to appear so I could give him the signal, but where is he! Did he lie to me! Did he take Tazuna and run! I've got to do something, but I can't run! Not when I'm faking being hurt, oh if only one of them realized what happened to me! I thought scratching my head, and when I looked back up I spotted Zabuza.

He was standing on a high, thick tree branch, and he pointed to Tazuna and Sakura. I nodded, and purposely fell on the ground. Sasuke and Naruto knelt down to my aid, and I held my breath. Zabuza disappeared and reappeared in fronnt of Sakura, and he snatched her. She gasped, and Zabuza uncovered her mouth so she could scream for help. "Sasuke save me!" She screamed and Zabuza ran off with her, and Sasuke and Naruto shot up. "Oh shit, it's Sakura! What do we do!" Naruto shouted, and I stopped holding my breath. "Save her dammit! Leave me, now go I'll be alright!" I shouted pushing their legs, and they stood up. Sasuke nodded and dashed off with Naruto quickly behind him. I slowly sat up, and groaned. I know Sasuke's bound to figure out something's up, but will he say anything? How long will it take for him to realize it?

I stood up, and slowly made my way out to the ocean's edge. I glanced around, and saw Tazuna sitting asleep under the shade of a tree. Why the hell hasn't Zabuza taken him yet? I thought rubbing my chin, and I heard Naruto and Sakura screaming. I ran most of the way until they could see me, and I limped up to them. Zabuza had Sakura in his grasp, with a kunai to her neck. Sasuke had his arms folded, not seeming to care much, and well Naruto was cussing and throwing his arms out at Zabuza. "Zabuza! You put her down now! Sasuke and Naruto... Step away from him!" I shouted pointing at him, and they did as they were told... Accept Zabuza. He winked at me, which meant I was supposed to jump on him. Sakura opened her eyes, and started to cry. "Oh thank goodness Kakashi Sensei! Help me, you let go of me freak!" She shouted pounding on his arms, but he was laughing.

I walked up to them, and Zabuza narrowed his eyes. I made a peace sign meaning I was gunna jump, so right before then he's supposed to throw Sakura without hurting her. I ran and jumped up, pulling a Kunai from my leg, but he jumped back, and ran with her towards the woods. "Zabuza what the hell are you doing?" I shouted falling to the ground, and Naruto ran after him. "Go, catch him!" I shouted, and Sasuke looked at me with disappointment and ran off after Naruto. Sasuke found out that was a clone carrying Sakura, but hopefully he won't say anything... I thought sighing, and the real Zabuza came up behind me. "Wonderful performance Kakashi" He said laughing, and I stood up. "Hmm Thanks, you weren't so bad yourself being that you let a water clone do all the work for you" I said turning to him, and he grabbed me. "Well you see Kakashi, this is the scene where I really come in" He said ripping his bondage, and he slid my mask down. I wrapped my arms around his neck, and kissed him.

I slowly backed him up against a tree, and kept kissing him. He let out a deep moan, and we parted lips. "How long till you think they realize what they're dealing with?" He said smirking, and I shrugged. "They probably already know... Or at least Sasuke and Sakura do, I'm never too sure when it comes to Naruto" I said, and he sighed. "Why do you even bother with those kids Kakashi? Hell if I had to babysit I'd hire someone else to do it" He said letting me go, and he wrapped new bondage around his mouth. I slid my mask up, and laughed nervously. "I'm not babysitting them, I'm training them. If you'd have stayed in your village long enough you would've been doing the same thing" I said raising my voice, and he grabbed my throat. "That smart mouth's gonna get you killed one day Kakashi, want that day to be today!" He shouted lightly squeezing my my neck, and I laughed. "What will happen if I say no?" I said smirking under my mask, and he laughed.

He sloftly wrapped his arms around me, and I chuckled. "Zabuza what is with being so soft? I thought you were a demon, not a teddy bear" I said smirking, and he blushed. He thrashed me around, and held me tightly against his chest. So tight that I was short of breath, but I was comfortable. "There we go. . ." I whispered closing my eyes, and he laughed...

Naruto had finally destroyed the water clone, and they were thinking up a plan. "Why didn't anyone tell me it wasn't really Zabuza! Wheres the real one? What about Kakashi, he's hurt all by himself!" He shouted, and Sasuke sighed. "Just keep quiet dobe, Kakashi isn't really hurt!" He shouted, and Naruto looked dumbfounded. "Huh! He's not, well what do ya mean?" He said, and Sasuke smacked his forehead. "That was an illusion, Kakashi is really just fine. Didn't you notice that when he was on the ground he claimed his left ankle was in pain, but when he stood up he was limping on his right?" He said glaring at Naruto, and he still had a blank look on his face. "Maybe both of his feet were in pain" He said shrugging, and Sakura picked up the Kunai. "This is... Kakashi's! This Kunai is Kakashi's!" She shouted waking over to them, and they turned to her. . .
