Chapter 3 - Far Away
The moon hovered high up in the sky, casting its light over the village of Konoha.
Some people where out to have a good time, others where home with their families, friends or lovers.
But a particular pink haired kunoichi lay alone in her bed, the moons silver lit forcing its way through the window and up on the kunoichi.
She turned her head towards the nightstand to see a slightly maltreated wooden frame on it. She reached out for it while she took herself up and grabbed the frame with her hand.
Behind the cracked glass she could see three kids and one adult. One of those kids was herself in her Genin-age, the other three where her team mates and Sensei. She looked so happy in that picture, carefree, beautiful and in love. She gazed at the black haired boy with the annoyed face to the blond with the I-will-kick-your-butt face.
She smiled to herself. She wished to go back in time to make everything undone and to make sure that Sasuke never had to meet that Orochimaru and not to let Pein destroy Konoha so Tsunade could live a longer life. To sum up, she would gladly risk her life for that wish so she could be happy.
Her gaze stoped at the silver haired man who smiled faint out of the picture in the frame.
" I did it for you..."
She looked away from the picture and put it back on the nightstand and dropped back on to the bed and start to hug the pillow hard.
" Hell you did... " she grunted and start to look up in to the wooden ceiling a bit annoyed. " I will never forgive you, never..."
A suddenly knock on the front door, made the absent-minded kunoichi jump.
" If it´s you Naruto, you have made your way up here in vain..!" she called out.
" Sakura it´s me... Can we talk?" the familiar female voice said.
" Ino... " Sakura get herself out of the bed, headed to the door and opened it. " What do you whant, Ino? If you are going to drag me to a bar somewhere I´m not interested..."
" Darned! Way do you always say no!? We miss you..." Ino told her at the doorstep. " Anyway, can I come in?"
" Yeah, sure..." Sakura walked away from the door to let Ino step inside. " Make it quick, Ino -pig..."
" Hai Hai, Forehead..." Ino said and made herself comfortable in the sofa.
" I said quick..." Sakura looked at Ino who seemed not to have listened to her.
" It became a girl!" Ino said happaly.
" What!?"
" A girl..! Actually two girls..." Ino said afterwards.
" I don´t understand. Will you take it over?" Sakura looked sheepish at Ino.
" It´s about Shikamaru! He have become a daddy to two adorable little girls! Isn´t that wonderful!" Ino cried happy, jumped out of the sofa to hug Sakura.
" Yeah, really wonderful..." Sakura said not really that interested. " Wasn´t he the one who said he wanted just two kids, firts a boy, then a girl..?"
" Who cares! Let us celebrate!" Ino looked at Sakura.
" I told you. I don´t want to be dragged to some stupid bar..."
Ino gave Sakura a devilish smile.
" Prepare yourself Sakura -Chan..." Ino smirked.
`You are so dead, Ino!´

" It´s unusual to she you out here and besides that, drunk..." a brown haired man said to a pretty drunk silver haired Jounin.
" I´m not drunk..."he told the brown haired man.
" To deny the fact is the first sign... You are drunk, Senpai." the brown haired man watched his friend take another sip of his saké before he pour the rest of it.
" It´s not like I need a baby sitter, Tenzou..." the silver haired man said and waved to the waitress to get him another one.
"I preferred you call me Yamato..." the brown haired man said rolling his eyes. " And I really think you shouldn´t have another one, Kakashi."
" And that is your concern?" the silver haired Kakashi looked at Yamato who didn´t answer. " I thought so... Thank you..." Kakashi took the saké from the waitress.
" Well I´m not the one who will have a killing hangover tomorrow..." Yamato told him.
Kakashi snort at Yamato and started to drink the saké.
" You are acting like a spoiled child..." Yamato mumble.
But Kakashi didn´t pay any attention to Yamato, but to a soft female voice who made his mind go crazy.
He looked at the way the voice had come from and Yamato followed his gaze, with a astonished look at his friend.
" What is it with that look of yours?" Yamato asked him.
" What look?"
" That look you gave her... You almost look like a abandoned puppy who is longing for a hug..." Yamato told him.
" Really? Well I do really need a hug..." Kakashi sighed.
" Don´t look at me... And I don´t think she will give you one either." Yamato looked at Kakashi who had pulled his mask over half of his face and was now wobbling his way towards a booth in a corner. " Oi, Senpai! Don´t go...there... Kuso..!"
" Kanpai!" a group of friends called out and lifted their glasses to a toast in front of a rather annoyed Shikamaru.
" Now that you have had your toast... Can I go home now?" Shikamaru said to the blond female beside him.
" Oh no no... You will only have your first child once in your life and that is worth celebrating!" the blond woman said to Shikamaru.
" Well you know Ino, he got two first born..." a man with a wild look and untidy brown hair said. " So... Should we double it up?"
" Oi Kiba! Temari is going to kill me if I come home drunk!" Shikamaru told him.
" Yeah, after she have come home from the hospital and that will be in three days." Kiba laughed.
" You really don´t know have scary she can be..." Shikamaru mumbled.
The pink haired women only could shook her head and feel sorry for Shikamaru. The next thing she could see was not what she had expected or hoped for.
`What the hell!?´
" Sakura -San..? Isn´t that your Sensei?" Lee asked and pointed towards the wobbling silver haired man.
" I will go to the rest room!" she burst out, smacking both her palms in the table making it creak and rushed her way from the booth.
" Did I say something wrong?" Lee asked, looking confused at his friends.
" Lee..." TenTen sighed.
Sakura was forcing her way through the crowd in the bar and was almost at the rest room when she found herself facing a silver haired man.
" Why are you running from me?" the man asked her.
" I´m not running from you! I needed to use the rest room, if you excuse me..." Sakura said to the man and tried to get past him. " Will you get hell out of my way?!"
" Not until you have said why you are running from me..?" the man proceeded on.
" Well, everyone would run away from a drunk perv!" she told him and all of a sudden she find herself up against the wall by the silver haired Jounin.
`Did I make him mad?´
" So I´m a drunk perv now, am I...?" the Jounin whispered.
His hands was holding her wrists up against the wall and his alcoholic breath filled Sakuras nostrils. His drowsy eye was looking in to hers. He pressed his body against hers and he started to lower his face towards her face.
`Is he...Is he going to kiss me, with the mask on!?´
" No... No way! Get the hell of me!" Sakura roared at him and start to break herself lose from his grip. " You are a so dead, Kakashi!"
Kakashi looked quite alarmed at her when she with all her force hit him in to the wall, making him to brake some ribs and his jaw.
" You..! You drunk and sick son of a bitch!" she called out and was now in to her next blow.
" Mokuton No Jutsu!" ( Wood Release )
Sakuras fist get grabbed by a branch and she turned around.
" Yamato -Taichou...?" Sakura looked at the brown haired man behind her.
" I think that is quite enough, Sakura..." the man told her and began to release her from the Jutsu.
" Tsk... Didn´t I tell you... If you ever touch me again, I would send you straight to the hospital!" she said to the silver haired Kakashi ( who lay doubled on to the floor ), before she wakled past Yamato and out of the bar.
Yamato bent forward to pick up his friend and he supported him, while they slowly but steady headed out of the bar to the hospital.
" Senpai, what did you do to her? She could have killed you..." Yamato looked troubled at his friend. " Don´t blame the booze for this, but did you or did you not?"
" It... It depends on how you mean it..." Kakashi moaned painfully. " I belive it´s... what you think it´s..."
" So you did offended her." Yamato said not looking at Kakashi. " Serves you right"
" I guess so..." Kakashi moaned, still canned.
***
" What has happened to you, Kakashi -Sensei...?" the blond haired man asked the silver haired one, while looking at the mans scratch -marks just above his right eyebrow and cheek.
" You would never belive me if I told you..." Kakashi told the blond haired man.
" Well, I doubt that... You can´t surprise me any more, Sensei..." the blond haired man said.
" In that case... I was in a bar fight last night and..." Kakashi began.
" I don´t belive you..." the blond haired man said at once.
" I told you so, Naruto..."
" Hmmm... Anyway, we are still waiting for one more to co..." Naruto were cut off by the door hitting the wall.
" I´m sorry for being late!" a pink haired kunoichi yelled and looked at the two present man in the room. " Oh... I´m sorry... I will wait outside..."
" No need to, Sakura -Chan..." Naruto said to her. " What I´m to say to Kakashi -Sensei, concerns you as well... Please close the door and listen to me."
Sakura did as she was told and walked forwards, to stand beside Kakashi.
" You look tired, Sakura -Chan. Did you slept badly?" Naruto asked her.
" Something like that..." she told him, not looking in to his or Kakashis face.
" Kakashi -Sensei did also had a bad night. What a coincidence..." Naruto smiled to them.
`You have no idea...´ both Sakura and Kakashi thought.
" Well then... I have decide to make you two my new counsellor... Please accept my offer." Naruto said to them.
Kakashi was not surprise to hear this, but Sakura was in a total shock.
She wasn´t ready for this. She hadn´t been by Narutos or Kakashis side for so long, so way should she be by theirs side now?
" I´m sorry Naruto... I just can´t..." Sakura told him. " To many broken promises, to many bad memories... I can´t..."
" Sa -Sakura -Chan..?"
" I just can´t Naruto! You can ask me anything els! But not that..." she said with a squeaky voice. " We are so far away from each other... You should have notice that by now..."
And with that Sakura left the office, leaving the door open.
" Sakura!" Naruto called after her.
" Leav her, Naruto... You can´t force her to do something she dosen´t want to..." Kakashi told to him.
" But Sensei! You want her back as much as I do! This was our chance!" Naruto looked rebellious at Kakashi.
" So she was your surprise? Well, I guess it was a good plan, but you did never consider her feelings towards us." Kakashi said making a depressed Naruto, looking even more depressed. " But I´m afraid she is right about onething. We are far away from each other nowadays..."
" I will get her back to us! I will never go back on my word, that is my nindo!" Naruto said with a grin.
Kakashi looked at him and smiled under his mask.
`Even if you fail, Naruto. I will make sure to get her back. I can´t just let her go, without she knowing my fellings for her. Even if that means loosing my life to save hers.´
" Let us go, Naruto. I will buy you ramen."
" Yay! Ramen, ramen!" Naruto shouted.
`Well, he is still that 12-years old little boy I knew.´
Kakashi followed Naruto out of the office and closed the door behind them.
Now he knew what he had to do, but how he would do it on was another question.
Author note:
Well it´s still not much KakaSaku but the story have just begun. Be patient.
I have been a bit of tired when I wrote this chapter, but I really hope that didn´t effect the text or the story... D
Again I´m apologize if my English sucks.
And some notes;
When I writes the text `like this´ it means that the person in question is thinking. When I writes like this the person emphasis just that word and when I writes like this that means flashbacks.
Do still feel free to ask me if something is bothering you. I will answer.
Take care!
