KPOV

Sakura and I stood right outside of the entrance to the place I'd hoped I'd never have to return to. I especially didn't want her to be with me, but I didn't even ask her to stay behind. I knew she would never agree to being left behind when it was her baby that had gotten kidnapped. She appeared to be cool and calm, but I knew she was ready to take heads off. I was too. NO ONE touched MY little girl without my permission.

We each took out one of the guards and made our way into the building. I could hear the baby crying down the long hall. Sakura's eyes flickered when the cries intensified. I nodded at her and I barged into the room with Sakura right behind me. I immediately tackled the man holding my daughter when Sakura snatched her from him arms. Mishi looked up at her mother with tearful eyes, noticed who it was, and smiled at her.

"Kaa-cha'," she whined happily.

I was shocked. Had she just said that?

"Mishi-chan. Mommy's here."

I put a kuni to the man under me's throat.

"Who is your leader?"

He chuckled," I'll never talk."

I lifted my hitai ate and he gasped as I send him into the Mangekyo Sharingun.

For the next 72 hours you will know the pain of death.

In the black and white world, the man screamed.

We started to walk out of the building and suddenly the entrance was blocked by an army of ninja.

"Sakura, stay behind me."

She held Mishi closer against her and moved just as I did. A man with long green hair came out of the crowd and smirked.

"Hatake Kakashi. I was surprised that you were able to escape. Welcome back."

"Hakudo Kishumaru."

He nodded.

"I was even more surprised to learn you had a child. As far as I knew, you weren't married."

"That's none of your business," I growled.

"Funny, I hadn't seen you as the type to have a bastard child."

Sakura tensed behind me.

"Aw, that must be your lover. Unusual hair. A very common thing in the old Whirlpool Country. Did your village take in refugees, Kakashi?"

"Also, none of your business."

He chuckled.

"No matter, either you will come with us peacefully or I WILL kill your lover and child. It would be a shame to loose such a treasure. The child already is very gifted. And she has the sharingun. That WAS a shock."

"I won't let you use me and you will NOT hurt them."

He sighed and took a step closer to us.

"Come come, don't be such a pain. Come with us and they will go free."

"Don't believe them, Kakashi. You know they're lying."

I nodded.

"I know, Sakura."

"Either you come with us or they die. This is your last chance."

I sighed and looked over my shoulder at Sakura. She knew THAT 'bored' expression.

"Well, in that case..."

Sakura ran at Hakudon and dropped a punch right in front of him.

"The answer is STILL no!"

We ran passed the ninja and into the forest.

"Sakura, go ahead of me. Get Mishi out of here incase they catch up with me."

She shook her head and I glared at her.

"Dammit, run, Sakura, or Mishi-chan will be in danger!"

After a moment she nodded.

"Hurry home," she begged and I nodded.

She went ahead of me and I sighed. That had been close.

Too close.
