Second chapter, yadiyadiya...disclaimers...Remember to R&R! :D
Chapter 2
The silver haired jounin leapt over rooftops and followed the couple. He just witnessed how Sasuke managed to control Sakura with just a twirl of his Sharingan. Sakura was definitely not lying. He landed softly on the rooftop in the Uchicha residences. He could hear Sakura screaming something undecipherable and Sasuke shouting angrily.
"What did you say to him. Look at me Sakura."
"I told him I wanted to borrow something…"
"What did you say to him, Sakura. Don't lie or I will make you suffer."
"I just wanted to…borrow…a…book…from sensei…"
"Look at you Sakura. You are so foolish. You still call that old man your sensei? If you want a book, I will buy one for you. You don't need to venture out of here for it."
So that's what he's been doing, keeping Sakura imprisoned, Kakashi sat on the rooftop with his orange book at hand, listening into the conversation below him.
"He's not old! He's got silver hair, that's all!" Kakashi was glad that at least someone sees through and appreciates his hair-do.
"Don't protect him. You can't protect him for this long. I'm going to get some sleep, you better not wander off on your own. I don't want my wife to be contaminated with some pedigree who thinks they have pure blood."
"Sasuke, what if I want to venture out. This isn't what you promised when you came to me all those months ago."
"Sakura, are you that dumb? I lied to you obviously. Even Karin is smart enough to obey me and stay home. Weak."
Kakashi only just managed to understand what he just heard before he had the time to leap to another roof before he was shaken off he resting spot. I was just getting comfortable there…
He heard a loud slap and a loud crash as if someone just jumped right through a wall. Wait, that just happened. As he watched the pink haired jounin run into the night with Sasuke shouting "Weak" behind her. Silently, he followed her to a small opening in the forest where they used to train. He spotted her sitting in the middle of the opening and quietly sat down beside her.
She nearly jumped when she felt someone sit beside her. Had her not first glanced at the person, she would've sent him or her flying straight to Suna. She just sat there, immobilised. Kakashi watched her as she weep.
"You know you can just divorce him."
"It's not that simple. He threatened me. He threatened me with my family. It's not like the Sasuke I know all those years ago. It is as if someone is in his own skin."
"Sakura, come with me." He took her by the hand and led her to the Hokage's office.
"Come in." Tsunade was tired from her day's work. There wasn't much on her mind now but sake. She was shocked to see Kakashi come in with Sakura, holding hands. Kakashi quickly took back his hand and kept it to himself. He explained the situation to Tsunade.
"I see." Tsunade only just managed to cough up those two words after listening to this intense amount of information. No one is going to boss around her apprentice like that, not even that Uchiha boy. She noticed just how fragile her apprentice was, standing beside her former sensei, as if she's lost all hope in the world. "Kakashi, can you let Sakura stay at yours for the time being? I can't think of who else she can live with for now."
Before Sakura can object, Kakashi agreed. She can take care of herself perfectly. She is after all a medic. On the other hand, Sasuke would probably be extra mean to her now after what she did. She bashed a rather big hole in his nice wall, slapped him pretty hard on his pretty face. She strolled alongside Kakashi in the quiet streets of Konoha. The peaceful warm night wind gently ruffled her hair, teasing its soft and silkiness. Why does Kakashi always make me feel better? She slowed to ponder, feeling as if time was dripping by slowly like it never wants to leave.
He welcomed her to his apartment and offered her tea. He noticed how nervous she was as her eyes darted around the apartment, expecting someone to come out any moment and take her away. He set down two cups of tea on the tea table and beckoned her over to the sofa. She followed his beckoning and sat beside him, face with a blank expression. Sakura felt a strong pair of arms pulling her head into a rather muscular shoulder where she sobbed the night away. She welcomed the warmth and a soft scent of…Kakashi? Having known him for so many years, she still cannot find a word to describe that unique scent of Kakashi. Surely she can recognise it, but she can't describe it in one word. It's a sort of smell that is clean crisp and simple; there isn't much to it, but it's such a nice scent that one can just breathe in and feel a whole lot better than before. I guess Kakashi isn't just a copy-nin after all…she thought as she drifted off to a slight doze.
Kakashi watched the young medic fall asleep in his arms. He would be such a dead man if the angry Uchiha finds him in this position, but it felt too peaceful to move her. So he spent the night on the sofa with her, reading his orange book until he was too tired to read and just let it sit on his face while he slept the night away.
