Hey everyone, Im gonna keep this short because I know you are all dying to know wether or not Rayne sleeps with Yoro. Well, here it is:

CHAPTER EIGHT: Complications

'Im so sorry Kakashi ' was her only thought as she felt him move their bodies to the bed.

Yoro wasted no time in undressing himself and was soon as naked as the day he had been born. Once he was undressed he turned to Rayne and entertained himself by feeling the curves and softness of her body with hungry hands. Her small frame, so much like Hinata's, seemed like a gold mine to him and soon couldnt contain himself. She shuddered as he yanked off her undergarments and clamped her eyes shut. 'I cant do this...But I have too, if I dont I'll fail the mission...I cant, I-'

His hands were too rough and his touches to hard. Kakashi was never like this, he was always gentle. He had understood, he had known what Tsume had done during the two months she had been held prisoner those few years ago. Yoro knew too. He had read her file and knew all about the rapes. But apparently he didnt care, didnt think that it was a good enough reason to be gentle and loving.

She was about to scream at him to get the hell off of her when she got an idea. One that would save her and the mission. Her mind, even when trying to block out memories and feelings, was able to come up with a plan. She thanked her grandparents and her brother for all her training as she remembered the seals she would need for this plan to work.

She forced herself to wrap her arms around his neck and kiss him. While her lips moved so did her hands. She formed hand seals that Naruto was extremely familiar with and suddenly, standing in the back of the room was a naked copy of Rayne. Some more handseals and the real Rayne and the fake Rayne had switched places. Yoro had no idea that he was now, for lack of a better word, groping a shadow clone and not the real Rayne.

As soon as she was off the bed and out from under Yoro she threw on one of his shirts and bolted out the door quietly. With the silence only a trained kunoichi could possess she ran through the halls, making her way to her room. She was so caught up in blocking her mind from that of her shadow clone and trying to repress memories from the longest two months of her life that she didnt see anyone else in the hall until she ran head on into him. She snapped out of her thoughts and almost fell backwards but was caught by a pair of strong arms before she hit the carpeted floor.

She looked up and was shocked to see Kakashi. In a second her shock turned to relief and she threw her arms around his neck. She hadnt realized that she had been shaking since she had switched places with her shadowclone and was surprised to find that she was crying. Rayne hated crying and saw it as an emotional weakness in her when she did. It wasnt like she was sobbing, but her breathing was shallow and tears slid down her beautiful face quietly. She had always been a silent cryer, since she was little. This time was different though, she didnt care that Kakashi was there to see her cryShe was just happy that it had been him that she had run into, and that it was his arms around her and his voice telling her to calm down.

The truth was, she needed him. She needed him to be strong when she couldnt and she needed his chest to cry into when memories hurt too much.

"Rayne, what-" Kakashi stopped his question when he looked down and saw that she was only in a shirt. A man's shirt that wasnt his. She was naked underneath a man's shirt. He pulled away from her as the thought hit him and he took a few steps back.

"You slept with him," he accused, it was not a question and his usually bored voice was tainted with surprise and hurt. In a thousand years he had never thought that she would've slept with him. He was sure she'd have pulled away. But here she was, naked except for that bastard's shirt and crying. He assumed she was crying because she had slept with a man she didnt love. He knew her enough to know that sleeping with Yoro wasnt something she would have done just because she wanted too and that it would have upset her. But still, she was the woman he loved and the thought of another man touching her, no less sleeping with her, made him angry. She was his. His love. His world. Why did it seem like every other male in existence, save Asuma, was after the one woman he loved?

When she had first come to Konoha many men had hit on her, attempted to flirt and had asked her out. She had politely declined all invitations. Kakashi had glared at any man who had dared come near her when they would get together to just hang out, when they had still been just friends. Pretty soon he had a sense of protectiveness towards her and then he began to think of her as his Rayne. He had ever since.

"No, Kakashi I-" Rayne looked stricken. He thought she had slept with Yoro. She knew thats the way it must look but, she had hoped he would have known better, known her better. She tried to explain through her tears but he wouldnt give her a chance.

"I cant believe you actually slept with him. You were pissed that I kissed someone so you go and have sex with a criminal to get even?" This was the conclusion his hurt heart came to. She had wanted to get back at him. Thats why she jumped at the chance to sleep with Yoro. All his previous logical thoughts fled as he turned from a smart shinobi to a jealous lover.

Rayne seemed to get even paler and could have easily out ghosted a member of the Hyuuga clan. "You think I would sleep with another man because you kissed someone?" she asked him in disbelief.

"Thats what you just did, isnt it?" his voice was hard. She stared at him, her tears coming to a slow stop. She quietly wiped them away, trying to gain some composure.

Damn, and she had thought herself tough. Well, it seemed that she had softened- having kids and a family would do that to ya. Why did she just feel like a bundle of raw emotions lately? After a moment she turned her head away and spoke in a cracked voice that was depserately trying to be strong."No, I didnt. I couldnt. He was so rough and he...he wasnt you. He made me think of Tsume and I-I just couldnt. So, I made a shadow clone and then used a replacement jutsu. I'm sorry I reacted the way I did to a kiss. I'm sorry I hurt you when I pushed you away." Sh esaid the apology without even thinking about it. She needed to let himknow that she was sorry, that she loved him. She knew she was wrong to push him away like she did. She had been looking for some flaw in him, some mistake in what she saw as perfect. He was too perfect, he hadn't hurt her and that was surprising to her. She had been waiting for him to prove what she felt was fact. That a man couldnt love her. That there would always be some alterior motive. But she suddenly realized her mistake.

Kakashi did love her. He truly did and she had been the one to mess it all up, not him. He had just been the one who wanted to try and love her, the one who wanted only for her to love him back. And she did, she really did. But she now felt as if she had screwed things up so bad that they couldnt be fixed.

Her sudden apology and contimplating silence surprised Kakashi and for a moment he was just as quiet as her. He took a step forward, his fingers brushing her cheek but stilled when she stiffened. It was then that he thought about what she had said. Yoro had been rough, he had made her think of Tsume. He felt his anger flaring once more as he thought of Yoro and had to take a breath before speaking through semi-gritted teeth.

"Are you okay?"

She nodded slowly and took a breath before finally turning to look up at him. "Im sorry."

He knew exactly what she was talking about and couldnt help but relax and grin. "I thought I was supposed to be the one apologizing."

She allowed the corners of her lips turn up into a small smile and she took a step forward, closing the gap between them. He wrapped his arms around her waist as she reached up and pulled off the beard he had been wearing to cover the bottom half of his face. Rayne pressed her lips against his tentatively, all too aware that they were bruised from Yoro. Kakashi had noticed that her usually red lips were slightly purple and was careful to be gentle.The thought that just a little while ago, Yoro's mouth had been on top of hers pissed him off and he had to check himself to make sure he didnt hurt her.

He was used to having to take things slow with her, to let her relax in his arms and feel safe. Since she had comeback from Tsume she had changed and was jumpy at any physical contact from anyone but the kids and, most of the time, him. So, he had learned how to get her to relax, to trust he wouldnt hurt her. He also knew how much she hated her 'weakness' and resented that she couldnt train herself to get rid of this particular involuntary reaction. Some men would have been annoyed by it, but he took secret pleasure in the fact that he was the only one who knew just how to touch and hold her. Things like this made him feel...needed, loved. He and her could understand that memories could be painful and they both had their share of regrets but, they had also confessed these to eachother in the privacy of their dark bedroom at night. This made them closer, kindred spirits in pain, but both looking ahead, not hard to do with those beautiful faces of their children.

Their quiet, peaceful moment was ruined when they heard Yoro's door open two halls away. Rayne pulled away and grabbed his hand, dragging him into Kotetsu's old room. She winced when the door squeaked as she opened and closed it. But it seemed no one heard, thankfully. The room was still empty since no one new had rented it out and they listened intently for the sounds inthe room next to them. Rayne's. There was a quiet creak as the door was slowly opened and then there was the sounds of drawers being pulled open, papers ruffled and muttered curses.

"There is no evidence or anything. And shes definately not here. The Boss wont be happy," a male voice finally spoke.

"Yeah, I heard she used a shadow clone on him while they were doing it. He only found out when he saw his shirt missing. Thats a harsh blow to a guy's ego. Especially with one the size of the Boss'," another voice offered.

"He's pissed. Apparently she tricked him and stole his buisness papers when she took off in his shirt."

'Buisness papers?' Kakashi and Rayne shared the thought as soon as the man had mentioned it. Any buiness papers of Yoro's would be evidence andthen their mission would be over and they could go home.

They turned to look at eachother and then simultaneously their eyes drifted to the shirt. The papers had to be in a hiden pocket or something. Rayne unbuttoned it and began feeling the seem (sp?) and lining. Kakashi had to swallow hard and turned his head so that he wasnt staring at her breasts. Rayne noticed this, and even in a situation like this one managed to smile at him and roll her sapphire eyes before returning to her little search. A second later she felt something that could be a flattened scroll. She ripped the shirt open and a small white bundle fell out of the material and onto the floor.

Kakashi bent and unrolled it. His eyes scanned and smirked. Yes, smirked. "Mission accomplished."

Green trees flew past her, the brown branches whipping into her face and leaving a spiderweb of small cuts. Air forced itself in and out of her lungs at a desperate pace, trying to supply much need oxygen to her burning muscles. But Rayne took no notice of any of this, she had to concentrate on one thing only: Getting back to Konoha before Yoro and his men caught up with her and Kakashi.

She stole a glance over to her right to find he was keeping pace with her frantic jumping. His left eye was shut tightly and his face no longer boasted a beard. He knew the men would be uncertain for a moment when they realized he didnt have a beard or wrappings over his eye and that moment would give him time to either kill them or run. Rayne felt herself fill with that aching worry as she watched him. She knew if they got caught he'd try and save her and not care about himself. She wondered if he knew she would do the same for him. Her eyes kept straying to him, even with the maddening pace they kept, she had to constantly prove to herself he was still there, with her. He was facing straight ahead, focusing on the path ahead of them, trying to see through the smothering mass of greenery. But he suddenly turned and caught her looking at him, their eyes locking. His gaze softened when he looked at her, and she felt that familiar question pop into her head, she wondered if he knew what she was thinking. If he knew that she was worried and even a little frightened by the fact that there were ten ninja after them, not including Yoro and that they were still four hours away fom Konoha.

"We'll make it," he called to her suddenly, his voice firm and confident. His tone left no room for doubt and she found herself believing him. Of course he knew what she was thinking. He was Kakashi, he could read anybody, she shouldnt have even had to think if he knew her thoughts. And despite the hopelessness of their situation she allowed his words to calm her fears slightly and ease her heart beat some.

That is, until she felt the sharp burning pain in her side and heard the whizzing of kunai and shuriken shooting past her head. She cried out as the kunai embedded itself in her waist and missed the next branch, blind with pain. She went crashing down through the trees head first, hitting several think branches on the way down and the wind rushed out of her lungs sharply. The hard, unforgiving ground rushed up to meet her.

The last thing she heard was Kakashi calling her name right before the world went black and quiet.
