Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto

A/N I don't think I ever planned for this fanfic to be so long, but after the last chapter I'm happy to have found a way to get information across to the characters. :) So It took me until now to realize that I had been spelling Konoha wrong, so I fixed the title so that it would be spelt properly..

Sakura's POV

I stood there silently looking at my parents grave. My father had died when I was a baby, my mother never told me how. Just that he died protecting us, us all she would whisper afterwards when she thought I had stopped listening. She always did things like that. Saying one thing, then continuing quietly after. Sometimes just loud enough so that I could hear, other times it just seemed to be her mouth moving while she thought the words.

Gaara stood silently behind me. After asking someone to cover for us, he showed me how to sneak out of the orphanage during the daytime. He let me lead the way to where I wanted to go, following silently, never saying a word.

I felt a tear escape. I reached up to wipe it away. Only to feel some fabric there first. Gaara had moved closer and used his sleeve to wipe the tears again. I leaned into him slightly, moving my head upwards to look at the sky. 'Well mom, I think I have figured out what you wanted me to know. The fact that you were never just another person leading a simple life. Maybe now I can figure out the truth behind dad's death as well. I know that you would love to know that I have made other friends as well. That those in the orphanage are nothing like what they are made out to be. One day I will be happy again as you always wanted me to be. I love you mom. I always will and I never forget you.'

I felt Gaara's arm around my waist as he pulled me closer to him. It seemed I had let a few more tears escape while I was thinking. "I have something you might want to see."

He took me hand, pulling me behind him slightly as he led me away from the graveyard. We walked through the woods a bit before he pulled me into a clearing. Inside the clearing was a rock. He brought me over to it and pointed out one of the names closer to the bottom of the list. I traced my mom's named that had been carved into the rock. He pointed out another name the shared my last name. I looked at the first to see that my dad's name was carved into here as well.

I heard some crashing from the bushes. I heard a bark, and felt something hit my leg. I looked down to see Akamaru looking up at me. I looked around to see if I could spot Kiba. A glance at Gaara's face told me he was ready to kill. "Calm down, its the dog of an old classmate of mine."

"Akamaru, where did you go?"

Akamaru gave a little bark, as I leaned over to scratch his head. A branch snapped and I looked up. "Sakura, never expected to see you here."

Choji and Shino had come out of the bushes. "Hey guys." I said heading over to them. Gaara grabbed my hand. "It's okay they're old friends. Where is Kiba.?"

He loosened his grip but didn't let go. Choji picked Akamaru up. "He had to go somewhere, but his sister won't classify where, so the two of us decided to take care of Akamaru while he's gone. Where have you Tenten, and Ino been? We figured you guys went away for the summer, 'cause you all just disappeared."

"We're living in the orphanage now. We moved there pretty quickly, and haven't had a chance to tell anyone."

"Oh," Choji looked disappointed, "I guess it will be harder see you guys from now on."

"Not so much. It seems that sneaking out isn't to hard. I have a favour to ask of you."

"What is it?"

"Keeping an eye out for anything weird. I have a theory, but I need some more proof, and

we don't get much information inside the orphanage."

"We would love to. Sorry but we have to get going. Kiba's sis wanted me to bring Akamaru in

for a check-up, and Shino and Choji were helping me find him."

"Bye." I said.

They all said their goodbyes while keeping a close eye on Akamaru. Gaara looked at me,

"They all change when they find out your in the orphanage. Neji was beaten up by some old classmates when they saw him once."

I looked at him in surprise, "But the only difference is that we have no family left."

"That's the problem. Rumors circulate after you enter the orphanage. Almost as if you become something that should be feared."

He pulled on my hand slightly walking back towards the city and the orphanage. "That rock that you showed me, what is it for?"

"A commemoration of all those who have died in action. Proof that your parents weren't just simple workplace people."

I nodded as we went back towards the orphanage. It was the kind of proof that we needed so that we would know that we were on the right track. The files we found belonged to our parents, and didn't fall into their hands by mistake.

When we got back to the orphanage we found the rest of the group sitting in my room holding the files. Sasuke looked angry, and was being held down by Tenten. "What happened?" I asked indicating the situation with Tenten and Sasuke.

"One of the files said his bother is part of a group called the Akatsuki. While the older files contain information on criminals that have been caught, these files were newer. The only information in them was a little amount collected. Basically we know that the members of the Akatsuki are looking for something and our parents were most likely killed while trying to take them down."

I looked at Ino as she relayed the news. When we first looked through the files, we never did look at dates, and had stopped part way through the file after finding repeats. We had more information, today was proving to be a good day for us. "Gaara showed me something. Proof that our parents died while fighting for the village. Proof that they were ninja's, or some kind of special police force at least."

Sasuke looked at me. He had calmed down slightly and had a look of concentration on his face. "Once, I heard part of my father's conversation. He said 'It's not a police job. It is outside of the city send out a squad.' I didn't hear past that because Itachi grabbed me and told me to forget what I just heard. He had told me the same thing on other occasions when I heard about police work."

"Meaning sending others on 'business trips' rather than stating it out for us to understand."

I was about to begin explaining everything to the group when Kakashi knocked on the door calling Gaara and I to go downstairs.

Kakashi's POV

Shizune came later that day. I had told her that it seemed Gaara knew as much as Sakura, but neither had passed on what they knew, so both needed to be taken away as soon as possible. She went back to talk with Tsunade about the newest situation. She came back within the hour. She told me to call Sakura and Gaara down.

I brought the two downstairs with me. The group of teens were all hanging out in Sakura's room just sitting there. Sakura looked like she was about to start talking about something when I told her that both she and Gaara were needed downstairs for a check up. Shizune had come with their medical records and needed to check something. Sakura said that they would be right back, but I knew they wouldn't come back upstairs, and that they would be leaving the orphanage soon.

Inside the nurse's office both Sakura and Gaara sat down. Shizune sat behind her desks with Gaara's and Sakura's folder in front of her. These folder though, were not medical folders, both held a stamp showing that the folders belonged to the police. Sakura's eyes widened when she saw the folders, Gaara's eyes held no emotion, showing no change.

Shizune sat up straight, giving both a look of sorrow. "Both of you have been found guilty of murder. The deaths of your parents, originally claimed to be accidents, has more evidence pointing to the two of you as the cause of the accidents. Your are to be moved to another facility for know and may be able to return when it is concluded so. I realize that you did not mean to kill your parents. Both of you will be placed inn the Konoha Asylum until you have proven that you can become part of society again. You have ten minutes, under the eyes of Kakashi and Gai to find clothes and say bye to your friends."

She nodded at me who walked them outside, handing Gaara over to Gai and following Sakura back to her room. Inside everyone sat, talking about nothing. She walked over to the closet grabbing a few things before handing them to me. I inspect what I was handed. The few items of clothing went into a bag I had pulled out for her. Anything I didn't approve of went on the bed. When Gai came in with Gaara she looked at the group.

Sakura's POV

I walked over to Ino and gave her a hug, "If there is anything in my room that you want to borrow, you can use it, I don't care what it is."

I walked over to Tenten and gave her a hug as well, telling her the exact same thing. I looked at Temari and Hinata, putting an arm around each of them, I said "Keep the two of them in line for me will ya. They do get into trouble if you let them. In return you can also take anything out of this room for your own use.'

I hoped they all got the message to take the files and stuff out of my room. Neji had a look of concern on his face. "Don't worry about anything Neji, I'm fine. Plus if you do want to wear some of my clothes as well, you must let the girls take a bunch of pictures for me."

He scowled at me. I walked up to him giving him a quick hug. Gaara just stood there. I gave a quick wave as we were ushered out of the room. We were led downstairs to a couple of police were waiting for us outside. Gaara moved closer to them and I grabbed his hand for comfort. They led us through the streets towards the outskirts of the village. We both knew where we were going, but my hand squeezed Gaara's as we got closer to our destination. His hand tightened around mine in comfort. I moved closer to him. As we walked through the doors we were led to an office that was rather plain with no pictures. The name on the plate said Anko and nothing else. Behind the desk sat a tough looking woman with purple hair. I didn't let my eyes linger on her hair for to long, having naturally pink hair I was used to people staring at me, even though I hated it. She looked at me, her eyes lingered on my hair. "I'm Anko, the head of this facility. You will have to dye your hair, that colour will be to much for some of the other patients. You will be living on the floor for teenagers only. There is one other person on the floor that you will meet later."

She pulled out a hat from her desk and handed it over to me. Picking up our bags off the floor, she looked through them before nodding. I pulled my hair up on top of my head so that it would be hidden by the cap for now. She led us down to floors taking us through security. The area she led us to held an old couch, a couple different books, and doors. She opened one door and said it was Gaara's room as she placed the bag down. She walked to the room next to his and placed my bag in it. She took the hat back from me saying that I would get some dye soon. But I would be fine down here, so until my hair was dyed I would have to eat down here.

I heard a door slam behind me and turned to see a familiar face. "See Kiba, I told you that some new friends would be arriving after you ate. Now that they are here you better behave."

The woman holding Kiba looked exactly like Anko, leading me to believe that they were twins or something. She let Kiba free and left the room. I walked over to Kiba as the police, and Anko left the room leaving us with Kiba. I walked over to him with a smile on my face.

A/N It is true when they say that stories have their own minds. I never expected anyone to end up in a place like this, yet here they are. I managed to get two chapters up today. :) Plus this is a longer chapter. :)

It may be a bit before the next one goes up, unless I manage to find some time during Spare to write a chapter, because I now have choir, and have to tutor in math (I figure its worth 3 percent no matter how annoying it is) as well as class. At least its only 3 classes per semester this year, and not the five I had last year.

Please review and look for the next chapter. :)
