Kakashi was sitting on the edge of the dock, watching as the waves made the colors of the setting sun drift together. Sakura was acting funny today and he couldn't figure out why. Something was different about her today. Like she was trying to hide something from him. With a sigh Kakashi stood and walked back to the house. It had to be getting close to dinner. His walk was cut off when he heard a very disturbing conversation.

"What do you mean he wants to take out Kosnanowa at the party?" one of the men asked.

"Tidus thinks that he will be more vulnerable that night." The other said. "Look, all we have to do is sneak into the party and kill him."

"Yeah I got that but why Kosnanowa? He's no one special."

"Yeah I know, he's not really going to kill him either."

"They why the hell are we going there?"

"Kakashi Hatake is here, and for some reason Tidus wants to take him out. He thinks that if he makes an attempt at an assassination he can bring him out so he can kill him."

That was all Kakashi needed to hear before he was running back to the house. "Oh, Kakashi good you're home. Dinner's almost ready, do you think you could go and wake Sakura-Chan up?" Nami asked when he walked into the kitchen.

"I will, but I don't know how long we can stay Nami, I just got a lead on the mission." Kakashi answered simply as he walked back to Nami's room and through to Sakura's. sakura was laying down on the bed, the blankets pulled up to her waist the red medical top she always wore laying beside the bed, and she was wearing a black strapless top that only covered her breasts, and was being held by one strap that attached with a metal ring. He hair was flared around her in a pink halo with a few strands in her face. Unable to help himself, Kakashi walked up to the bed and knelt beside her. Moving very slowly he reached out and stroked the side of Sakura's face, moving the hair behind her ear. She looked so beautiful asleep, he didn't want to wake her, but right now he had too. "Sakura." He called softly. Part of him hopped that she wouldn't wake, but she stirred and rubbed her eyes while she stretched. "Welcome back." He said with a smile.

Sakura looked up for a moment before her eyes traveled over to him. She smiled a bit and looked back up at the ceiling. "You're either here for one of two reasons." She said.

"Oh?" Kakashi asked innocently. "And what might they be?"

"You're either here because you wanted a peep show, you we have a lead." Sakura glanced over at him and gave a small smirk.

Kakashi smiled and pulled his head band up off of his eye. "I knew this was going to come up eventually." He said with a sigh. "Tidus is gong to try and bring me out he's gong to fake an assassination tomorrow night." He said with a smirk.

"Why would Tidus want to kill you?" Sakura asked sitting up in the bed. Kakashi shook his head. "What do you want to do about it?" Sakura was beyond worried.

Kakashi smiled at her the worry was plain as day on her face. "How opposed are you to breaking and entering?"

There was a full moon. That was good; they could see where they were going without a light. It wasn't hard to find the place. It was positioned in one of the worst parts of the village. The walls were covered in grime and blood, the road was cracked and in some places the cracks ran up the walls as well. "This place is pretty run down. Are you sure this is where he is?" Sakura asked when they landed on the roof where Tidus was supposed to be.

"Positive. Tidus likes to hang out in dumps." Kakashi got down on his knees and removed a letter bomb from his pack. "Get back." Sakura and Kakashi leapt back as the bomb went off, and made a hole for them. They jumped down through and immediately took in their surroundings through the smoke.

"Well, Kakashi! This is a surprise." A male's voice said. Sakura looked over at him, he was tall about five foot eight, with long dark brown hair. His dark eyes caught hers and she was unable to look away. "And you brought a gift! How nice." He all about sneered.

Kakashi stepped between Sakura and Tidus. "Play your tricks on me, but not the girl." He hissed. "She doesn't belong to you."

Tidus looked up at him, and smirked. "Then she belongs to you?"

Kakashi winced at the question. He would love for Sakura to be his, but he didn't think that was gong to happen anytime soon. "No, she belongs to herself." He said shielding her body from Tidus' eyes. Kakashi eyes the men that were closing in from the sides. He'd be damned id he let them touch Sakura.

Tidus sighed. "I have my tricks, and you have your sight, I will use the gifts I have on her if I wish." He finally said. "Kakashi I'm bored, what can I do for you?"

"You know damn well." Kakashi said taking a swipe with his kunai at one of the men that were straying too close to Sakura. She was still in a daze from that genjutsu. "Damn it Sakura snap out of it!"

Sakura shook her head, and looked around. Kakashi was in front of her, and there were about twenty men closing in all around the. Fuck! Kakashi had seen her come to, and nodded once. He and Sakura jumped out of the circle of me so that they were facing them, Tidus behind them all, and Sakura was careful not to meet his eyes again.

The fight broke out, and Sakura knew she was on her own. There were ten men for her, and ten for Kakashi. This was gong to be fun. Sakura palmed the Kantana that hung at her waist, but she didn't take it out, not yet. It was a close combat fight, and the whole time Sakura could see Tidus circling, watching her as she fought. Sakura did a round house kick and as the guy fell onto his back she slammed a kunai into his skull. One down. Two more men came at her, swords blazing. She jumped out of the way of one, slicing her side from the other. Throwing the kunai that lay in her hand she took another one down, he fell into the other guy, and while the chaos was going on Sakura snapped his neck. Three down. Another three came at her, and circled her in. Sakura smirked and used the jutsu she had used at the festival, changing herself into a cloud of pedals. She danced around the three men, they were mesmerized just like they were supposed to, and she slit each of their throats. That made six, and Kakashi was making quick work of his numbers as well. Sakura said nothing as the four last ones came at her. These guys scared her a little. They were huge, three times the size of a normal man, one carried a ball and chain, one a sword, one a club with spikes, and the last brass knuckles.

They all came at her, all at once. She dodged the sword and the spiked club, but as she went into the air to get out of the way, the ball and chains wrapped around her ankle, and pulled her down into the brass knuckles. Sakura let out a hiss of pain as the knuckles went deep into her stomach, and she could feel the ribs crack. She transformed the lower half of her body into flower pedals and escaped the ball and chain, and momentarily losing the feeling of the broken rib bones. She danced her way out of reach and thought quickly. She had a few kunai left, and plenty of chakra, but she was gong to need that in the end to heal Kakashi, and herself. She removed the kunai from her pouch, she had six, taking a deep breath she leaped down and lodged three into the guy with the sword and three into the guy with the club, killing them. That left only two the big one with the brass knuckles and the one with ball and chain. She turned to face them, and they were smirking, and she knew that she was pretty much fucked.

Sakura took out her sword and went on the attack to then guy with the knuckles, but as she swung it back to attack the man with the ball and chain ripped it from her hands, and she was smashed in the stomach again with the knuckles. She felt the blood pool in her mouth, but she didn't let it out, not yet. As the guy with the ball and chains attacked, she tried to clear her vision. The guy swung out the chains and they wrapped around Sakura's body trapping her, she still didn't open her mouth, as the man grabbed both balls and held her in place, the one with the knuckles approached her, he was about to throw a punch when Sakura spit all the blood that was in her mouth in his eyes, causing momentary blindness. With him preoccupied she ripped the chains from the guy, and using the heavy weight balls at the end, swung them time and time again into the man until she had unraveled herself and the chains fell to the ground. Gathering chakra to her foot she crushed the guy's neck, killing him.

Sakura was about to turn and face the last man when two bulging arms wrapped around her torso, forcing all the wind from her lungs, and she almost passed out, but she kept her eyes open. She was out of breath, and faint, and by now she was unable to fight. When the man with the knuckles had grabbed her he not only knocked the wind from her, but broke an arm, and three more rib bones. Coughing, and trying to drag air into her empty lungs she looked up, barley conscious and saw Tidus in front of her.

"Sakura." He said her name like a lover, and she resisted the urge not to puke. "You will make a fine addition." He said. Sakura's eyes were getting blurry and she no longer fought the sleep. She let it take hold, as she slipped into unconsciousness.

Kakashi watched as the last one fell, and looked around for Sakura. Fear and white hot adrenalin surged through him when he saw her unconscious in the arms of the enemy. He removed a kunai and hissed. "Let her go Tidus, she's not the one you're after."

"Not likely Kakashi, she's an amazing fighter, and . . ." Tidus trailed off and his eyes looked over Sakura's body, hunger and lust swirled as he reached out and stroked her cheek. " . . . she will make a beautiful wife." He said with a smile. "I will take her form you, and you can consider your debt paid." He said. Tidus let go a hideous laugh as he and the rest of men disappeared in a cloud of smoke.

"AAAAHHHHHHH!" Kakashi hit his knees; fists slamming into the ground had enough to make dents. He had let her down, he had let Sakura not only get hurt, but now she was kidnapped. He was going to seriously hurt himself if anything happened to her. Realizing that he was wasting time Kakashi jumped to his feet and began running after them, the trail was still fresh. He followed them to the sea. He could see the ships, Tidus had many, he jumped on one, but he knew that Sakura was not on it immediately. He would have to hide out and wait to find out which one she was on. Damn him. Damn Tidus to hell and back.
