I changed the rating to T because I decided not to do any lemons in this story. It takes up too much time for me to really think of a good sex scene for me. SORRY!

Thank you all who reviewed. Thank you even more to the ones who weren't rude. I understand I have rushed this story. I also understand that some of the sentences I used may not have sounded quite right and I apologize. I'm just a dumb, dyslexic redneck who happens to enjoy manga and despises my spell check because it's WRONG half the time! I'm not going to rewrite all of the last few chapters unless it is requested. I'll just take my time from now on and try to fix mistakes in the plot and grammar, ect. Arigato, ja ne!

KPOV

I sighed and turned around to face the enemy who had followed me.

"There is no escape, Hatake," the green haired man snarled.

"Now that I don't have to worry about Sakura and Mishi anymore, we can finish this, once and for all."

Hakudo smirked and unsheathed the sword on his back.

(A/N: I suck at action scenes, so if the fight is lacking, use your imagination, please!)

I gathered the chakra I needed for my jutsu in my hand and prepared myself as Hakudo ran at me, sword poised to strike.

"Chidori!"

He dodged and laughed.

"You think you can get me with that again, Hatake? Think again!"

The sword nicked my side as I jumped back. He swung again and I ducked, turning and efficiently tripping him. Before he could recover I copied Lee's technique and Hokudo's eyes widened.

"Front Lotus!"

He gasped when his ribs cracked and pierced his lung. I jumped away from him and picked up his sword. He chuckled.

"If you kill me, you will become the leader of the Eta-Naru Gun."

I put the point of the sword at his heart.

"Good, then I can order them to disband."

He chuckled," It doesn't work like that. Your father tried the same thing. Look where that got him."

My eyes narrowed.

"My father committed suicide."

"Not hardly," he said before pulling himself upward, sending the sword threw his chest. As he took his last breath, his breath turned green and climbed up the sword. I tried to pull it out of his chest but it wouldn't budge. The deathly breath reached my arm and I felt chills all up my spine. It grew and covered my entire body and I groaned as it seeped into my skin.

Suddenly I was very cold.

-X-

(A/N:"X" is just an indication that there is a location and/or time change, not a POV.)

SPOV

I waited in Konoha for an entire week, worrying about Kakashi. He hadn't shown up and he hadn't sent word. Tsunadae had sent a team to look for him, but had not allowed me to be a part of that team.

"If something happens on this mission, do you want Mishi to be left without a mother and have a missing father?" she growled at me.

I hadn't argued anymore with her.

Mishi stirred in her crib so I went over to her and picked her up.

"What is it, Mishi-chan? Do you want a bottle?"

She spit that out and pouted at me.

"'Tou-sa'," she whined.

I sighed and rocked her until her eyes started to close again.

She'd been asking for him for days.

"I know, Chibi, I miss Otou-san too."

I put her back to bed and went to the kitchen to fix myself something to eat. I'd been doing that a lot lately.

And I wanted peanut butter on fried pickles, kind of like when I was pregnant with Mishi-cha...

I closed my eyes and prayed for Kakashi to hurry home and to be safe when he returned.

I heard sounds like cooing in Mishi's room while I was eating my peanut butter and crackers and slowly walked down the hall to my daughter's room.

"... -ve you, Mishi-chan. Tell your kaa-chan I love her to-"

"Kakashi?"

He sighed and turned around to look at me. I gasped. His shaingun...

"It's still there, it's just a different color now."

"Where the hell were you?"

His eyes matched. They now were both his natural silver. I noticed he wasn't wearing a mask anymore either. His wardrobe had changed too. He wore a pair of slim black pants and a black long-sleeved turtle neck with a sword on his back. His hitai ate was GONE.

"You're leaving, aren't you?"

He didn't respond, which was all the answer I needed.

"Don't. Don't go. Whatever it is, we can fix it!"

He shook his head.

"This you can't fix, Sakura-san. No one can."

I closed my eyes.

"What happened, Kaka-chan?"

He sighed.

"They were right, Sakura. I am THE Hatake. And I can't fight it anymore."

"Kakashi, you don't have to leave. We'll find a way to end this curse!"

His eyes hardened.

"The team Konoha sent after me? I killed them. All of them. Even Anko and Genma."

My eyes widened. Genma was his best friend and Anko had been equally close to him.

"Don't go. Not like Sasuke did before. Please."

He smiled sadly and kissed my forehead.

"Take good care of our baby."

As he turned to leave, I yelled," babies."

He turned back to me.

"I'm pregnant."

"You're sure."

"Not possitive, but almost. I'm having the same craving as I did when I was pregnant with Mishi and I did the math, I'm late. Kakashi, please, stay here and stay with our family."

He shook his head.

"Take care of our children, Sakura. You're a great mother."

Before I could blink he was gone.

"K-Kakashi... wait... please... Kakashi!"

I felt sick to my stomach. Had Kakashi, of all people, just left and betrayed Konoha?

Had he just left me?

I wiped my face and made my decision.

No, I wasn't going to let another one of my precious people leave like this.

I quickly gathered Mishi's things and wrapped her in a blanket. The Hokage Tower was officially closed for the day, but I knew my way around without being seen.

I made my way to Tsunadae's room and looked at her. She was asleep, but I pushed her shoulder.

"Tsunadae. Baa-chan. Granny Tsunadae."

She grumbled and sat up.

"What is it, Sakura?"

I can't explain it, but please, take care of Mishi while I'm gone."

"Gone? Sakura, you can't leave the village without permission. You aren't even a shinobi anymore," she scolded.

"I have to go after Kakashi."

"I have a team-"

"Well, your team is dead, Baa-chan! Kakashi killed them when they caught up with him."

She frowned.

"That can't be true."

I nodded and handed her my daughter.

"He told me himself that he was responsible. I'm going whether you like it or not. You can be helpful, or you can declare me a traitor. I promise I'll come back."

She sighed and looked at her grand daughter.

"Don't make a promise you can't keep."

I kissed Mishi on the cheek and went back out the way I'd come in.
