Chapter 18: Pain
Running a comb through her tangled pink hair, Sakura hummed a little tune gently to herself. She and Kakashi hadn't left the apartment the entire day before, and it was now five o'clock in the afternoon.
Glancing behind herself in the mirror, Sakura saw Kakashi dozing peacefully on the couch…clothes-less.
Sakura's cheeks flared a bit as she grinned and tore her eyes away from just under his hips, to continue straightening herself up in the mirror.
"He's so sweet…", Sakura whispered to herself quietly, setting her brush down and turning the water on in the sink gently to let it warm up, "Putting up with me like this…not that he doesn't totally love it.", Sakura giggled quietly, "And I can't complain much either."
Sakura was wearing a pair of tight, dark blue jeans, and a black laced bra. She was tired, really tired (duh she was with Kakashi XD), and was taking her sweet time with getting dressed for the…late afternoon.
When the water had finally warmed to a nice temperature, Sakura bent over the sink and carefully claimed handfuls of water onto her delicate face. After washing her face completely, Sakura shut the water off and groped the air for the towel rack.
She finally found it, and pulling a fluffy white towel off of it, she dried her face and looked in the mirror. Her face was now smoothly clean, but her hair was messy again from getting wet. Damn.
Brushing her hair out once more, Sakura then brushed her teeth and applied a small, but just enough amount of mascara and eye liner to herself.
She had taken a shower just a bit earlier, so her legs were shaved, soft, and shapely.
Sighing contently to herself, Sakura looked back once again through the mirror, Kakashi wasn't on the couch.
"Eh?", Sakura wondering quietly, exiting the bathroom and shuffling in the living room, "Kakashi?"
Where'd he go?! Sakura stepped out onto the deck, there was a nice, 20 foot drop below, she doubt he just jumped off to go for a walk. Coming back into the house, Sakura searched the kitchen, bathroom and finally Kakashi's room.
He wasn't anywhere.
"Oh God.", Sakura stopped dead in her tracks, "Did something happen to him?!"
Tearing through the house again, Sakura called his name louder and louder, "Kakashi?! Kakashi!"
In the back of the house, Kakashi's room, Sakura suddenly heard the front door slam shut. A cold fear shot through her body, as a figure appeared quickly in the doorway of the room…
"Sakura, are you ok?", Kakashi asked, confusion in his voice as he looked at Sakura innocently, he was fully dressed in his usual outfit.
A fifty pound weight seemed to be lifted from Sakura's chest as she glared at Kakashi, storming up to him, "Where were you!? I was freaking out Kakashi! I thought something had happened to you!"
Kakashi still looked a bit clueless, "Sorry, Sakura. I was just stepping out to get the paper."
Kakashi held up the comics from that days newspaper innocently.
A sweat drop rolled down Sakura's head.
- - - - - -
By six o'clock, both Kakashi and Sakura craved to get out of the house. So they decided it's be nice to go out for dinner, and maybe go for a walk afterwards in the park.
Infact, they did just that. They went out for Chinese, and once they were full enough that they felt like they'd burst, Sakura forced Kakashi to allow her to pay the bill and they left the restaurant and headed for the park.
"Kakashi, why…", Sakura started quietly, once they had walked smoothly a little more then halfway through the public green park.
"'Why' what?", Kakashi asked, letting his masculine arm slip around her waist, his revealed eye swinted in a cute smile.
"Why…would Sasuke be so upset about, 'us'?", Sakura murmered quietly, looking at her feet.
Kakashi was silent for a moment, then answered, "You know…I'm not sure."
Sakura looked both shocked and disappointed, "Do you think he's…jealous, mabye?"
Again, Kakashi remained silent as they walked on. But just as he was about to answer Sakura, Kakashi stopped walking, abruptly, so that Sakura alongside him stopped as well.
"Wha?-", Kakashi cut Sakura off by putting his index finger to his masked lips in a motion to be quiet, but he whispered deeply to her anyway, "Someone's joined us."
Obeying in being silent, Sakura listened intently to the quiet air around them. Kakashi was definitely correct, there was another chakura present, an unfriendly one as a matter of fact. How did she not sence this before?!
Sakura glared into the darkness of the trees around herself and Kakashi, slowly, they pulled they're kunei from their pockets.
"Who is it…can you tell?", Sakura whispered under her breath, her ears and eyes alert.
"I can hardly believe it…but yeah.", Kakashi growled quietly at first, but as the sentence ended Kakashi quickly raised his voice and lunged behind Sakura, hurling his kunei into a nearbye bush. And as he did, Sakura whirled around just in time to see a man pounce from the bush in a shriek of pain.
Sakura's eyes widened at the sight of the man with the kunei implanted in his left arm, "It-It's him!"
Kakashi's eyes narrowed and he crackled his knuckles, "Shiro Kazazume. It's been a while."
As blood oozed from his arm, Shiro glared back at Kakashi, to Sakura, to Kakashi, and back to Sakura, and again, back to Kakashi, "Not long enough Hatake.", he rasped, cradling his arm and yanking the blood soaked kunai out, "So hows this bitch been Kakashi? Huh? Oh wait, don't tell me. I'll find out for myself."
Sakura gasped and took a shaky step back, Kakashi's eyes narrowed and he flew forward, pulling out two more kunai and tossing each of them forcefully into Shiro's thighs.
Shouting out in horrified pain, Shiro had no more time to react, because Kakashi was now holding him up by the collar of his shirt, "Would've thought you'd try this shit at my home Shiro, but I see in public is just as good for you."
Slamming his fist hard into Shiro's jaw sent a stream of blood through the air. Kakashi didn't stop there, throwing Shiro into the trunk of a nearbye oak, Kakashi lunged out with blow after blow, to his jaw, face, gut, stomach…thick blood covered the grass around them.
Sakura just looked on, horror struck. Kakashi…she had never seen him…with such, such…blind fury, in all her life of knowing him. And now, he was beating this man, killing him.
Out of unknowing fear, Sakura dropped her kunai, and ran a few steps forward, "Kakashi!", she called desperately.
Whether it was the horrible moans of pain from Shiro, or the beating of Kakashi's fists, Sakura's voice did not reach Kakashi's ears.
"Kakashi!", Sakura shrieked, tears filling her eyes. She couldn't let Kakashi kill him, "Kakashi STOP!"
Finally, Kakashi heard her, and, still grasped onto Shiro's colar, Kakashi looked over his shoulder at Sakura. His devel intended eyes quickly softened when he saw Sakura's tear stained face.
"Ka-Kakashi, please. S-Stop. I've never seen you this way be-before. Pl-Please, stop.", Sakura sobbed, lifting her hands to cover her fear stricken face.
Kakashi turned his head back around, and looked at the pitiful site before him. Shiro was more then three quarters dead. Two of his ribs were broken, and his nose. Three teeth were on the blood stained grass at his feet. And blood also completely covered his once handsome face, his arms, stomach and clothes, everything, was completely submerged in his own blood.
"I vowed to slaughter this man, Sakura.", Kakashi said quietly, looking at his blood covered fists, "If he ever came near you again."
Letting go of the grasp Kakashi had on Shiro's shirt, Shiro slumped dully to the grass below, moaning a bit.
"It-It's just…", Sakura cried quietly, "Kakashi, please, you looked so terrifying…"
Kakashi calmy walked to Sakura, and embraced her, "Sakura, I'm, sorry I scared you.", Sakura held him back, "But rememeber, I promised to never let anyone hurt you Sakura. And I will not brake that promise."
Sakura nodded quietly, but suddenly Kakashi grabbed Sakura's arms forcefully, squeezing tightly. Sakura gritted her teeth together, "Ouch! K-Kakashi, what are you?-"
Looking up, Sakura cried out in shock, as she was starring into the face of Shiro, unbeaten and healthy, and looking quickly over his shoulder, Sakura was horrified to see Kakashi, as the one dying at the tree's trunk painfully.
"How..What?!", Sakura shrieked, as Shiro grinned evily and their surroundings dissolved around them, "What's going on?! Kakashi!", Sakura screamed, as along with the surroundings, Kakashi began to disappear, and in the place of him, a large mattress.
"Hope you're ready.", Shiro smirked like the devil, and his slowly dragged Sakura to the mattress. Horrified, Sakura faught and pulled back, "No! NO! Kakashi! KAKASHI!!"
Sakura seemed to be imoble, no matter how hard she tried, her body just seemed as though it were allowing Shiro to force her on the mattress, tear her clothes off, loom over her…
"KAKASHI!!", Sakura shrieked, shooting up from the couch. Nightmare. Sakura's heart pounded. They had gotten home from they're walk over an hour ago, and Sakura felt like taking a nap once inside.
Lunging into the room, Kakashi questioned worriedly, "Sakura, what's wrong?"
"Ni-Nightmare….", Sakura breathed, "It was just…and nightmare..."
