I know its been a really really long time since I've updated. The whole time I never forgot about this story. I started it forever ago. I really have enjoyed writing this story and everyone's comments through this whole long time made me feel incredible. I guess just life got in the way moving out of my parent's house into my own apartment. Also working 2 jobs and yeah just stupid adulting stuff LOL. So I figure I'd write 2 chapters and post both at once. :)

Chapter 13: Found

I inched closer and closer to him. *What are those glowing rings around his wrists and ankles? Is that… some form of chakra?* The rings were red with black cloudiness circling within them. They looked of pure evil.

I finally was in front of this man. *If this guy was evil like the others then he wouldn't be bound up like this. Right?* I was nervous to try and communicate with him. I wasn't sure what to expect. He looked exhausted and miserable. And I could tell that someone... had been torturing him mercilessly.

He was high enough off the ground to where I had to look up at his face. Half of his face including one of his eyes was covered with duct tape so I couldn't see all of it. I softly touched his cheek. He was a work of art from what I could see. When I did he slowly opened the one eye that wasn't covered. I startled him and he snorted through his nose. He just stared down at me through his half-lidded eye. He looked so defeated. Like he wasn't even phased that I was there. He looked over at his left shackled wrist and started thrashing his body around like an animal. I could see his muscles and veins popping out of his arms as he tried to break free. But it was no use.

"HEY HEY! Calm down!" He continued to try and see if he could escape.

"STOP ITS OKAY I'M NOT GOING TO HURT YOU!" I reached up for his arms to try and restrain him but he still wouldn't settle down.

*How can I get this guy to trust me!?* I stared off at his chest thinking and I continued to hold his arms. I zoned out on a deep gash diagonally across both of his pectorals. I knew what to do. I released his arms and placed my hands on his chest. He completely stopped moving and was looking down at me with terrified eyes. My hands started to glow green.

I heard him grunt muffled through the tape and he squeezed his eyes shut assuming this was just going to be more torture from another person. I just closed my eyes and focused. The gash slowly healed to reveal his beautiful chest. When I looked back up at him he blinked twice in disbelief. I smiled. I lowered my hands and stepped back from him.

"My name is Sakura Haruno. And… well I don't have much else about me other than that I'm not going to hurt you." His eyes showed that he did not believe me.

"May I remove that duct tape?" He just started at me. He looked a little scared.

"Look I know some of the fucked-up shit going on here, excuse my language, but I know there are ninjas here who have been put under a mind control jutsu of some sort. I can only assume since they have you pent up like this that they weren't able to place the seal on you." He seemed to settle a little, taking in my words.

"Do the names Naruto or Sasuke mean anything to you?" His eyes went wide and he inhaled sharply through his nose. He nodded.

*CHA he is a good guy!* I shot him a determined smile.

"Naruto is free from it. So we have him and Sasuke. And now… ME." I was pointing my thumb to my chest. "As you've just learned I can heal. So perhaps I do have a place in this fight." I blinked twice at what I just said. The man leaned his head forward and closed his eyes almost comically in relief. I looked down at my hands.

*Perhaps I do… What is this… sudden drive in me? This sudden… confidence? * I wanted to be a part of their fight. I knew this now. For sure. 100%. I knew I could learn more quickly about my chakra. I also got a really good feeling from this man before me.

"Can I take off the duct tape now?" I could tell he still felt uneasy about me. But he lightly nodded his head. I stepped behind him and reached for the duct tape. He winced in pain as a tugged the duct tape. It was pulling his hair.

"Geeze this is on there pretty good." I stepped back and put my hand on my chin in thought.

"Hey I know! I can climb up here to get a better reach." If I couldn't get it with my hands I was willing to use my teeth. Once I stepped onto one of the chains to give myself a boost I was instantly shocked and flew back into the wall behind the man. I rubbed the back of my head and stood up. There was red lightening shooting from one of the chakra rings.

"Well, there goes that plan." I walked back around to the front of the guy. He pointed with his head towards something on my left. I looked over to see metal objects sticking out of the wall. I recognized what they were.

"Hey Naruto showed me one of them before! He threw it into the wall just like that, right next to my head!" I started to irritably fake laugh. Still not amused about that. I walked over and yanked one out of the wall. As I was walking back over I examined it more closely since this was my first time ever holding one. I could see blood on the tip of it. When I approached the man, he looked down at it painfully. I observed the gashes on his body once more.

"Wait so… they used these to…" I pointed at the kunai knife and then at him. He squeezed his eyes shut and looked away from me.

"I'm so sorry sir. I'll find a way to get you out of this." I walked behind him and began to cut the tape from behind his hair. Then I walked to the front of him and held the knife under his chin to start cutting the tape off his face. He looked away from me again and squeezed his eyes shut.

"Stay still. I'm sorry if I nick you by accident. If I do I'll heal it." Finally, I cut the tape enough to where I could peel the rest off with my hands. I revealed his mouth first. He took a deep gasp in through his mouth and started panting. I went to remove the tape from his covered eye but he pulled his head back.

"N-No?" I asked. He shook his head 'no'. I stared as his face as he kept breathing through his mouth. He was gorgeous. He shifted his eyes to me.

"Sakura, you said?" He said between breaths. I nodded.

"Thank you, Sakura." He said. I smiled and blushed slightly.

"And your name?" He finally caught his breath and turned his head towards me. He smiled a cute smile with his eyes closed.

"Kakashi Hatake."

"So, Mr. Hatake, how do we get you out of this?" He looked down at himself and blushed. Realizing his nakedness and I am up close and personal to him.

"It's okay sir, I'm not looking. Not to mention I'm a nurse so I've seen it all."

Suddenly we hear the door I came in turning and a loud crash. Startled I dropped the kunai knife and looked over my shoulder at the bottom of the dark stairs. Kakashi looked there as well with serious look on his face.

"Sakura hide."

I jumped and looked back up at him. He didn't break his stare from the stairs.

"What? No!" I didn't want to leave him. What if his torturers are returning? I couldn't bear it. He looked down angrily at me. He gave me the same look that my teacher or Father would give when I talked back. I listened and grabbed the kunai knife from the floor and clumsily ran behind him. I found some wooden boxes to sit behind. I brought my knees to my chest and clutched the kunai knife.

I heard arguing in the distance.

"What kind of stupid door was that!?"

"Who cares we're in. Now get off me."

"I can sense him!"

"And I can sense her. Now MOVE."

"No, you move!"

"Come on you dobe if you make us fall again I'll -GAH!"

I peeked over the wooden boxes. I hear some tumbling down the stairs and a loud crash again. There landed Naruto face first on the ground and Sasuke on his ass. Sasuke started rubbing his hip and Naruto peeled his face from the ground comically. Sasuke glared over at him and Naruto squinted his eyes back at him.

I inhaled loudly. "Sasuke!" I ran over to him with a huge smile on my face and stars in my eyes. He stood up and looked into my eyes with a confused look on his face. It felt like I was running over to him in slow motion. He blinked and I heard his voice in my head.

*I've been asking you where you were. *

A shot him a confused look back and landed in his arms. He looked down at me and slightly blushed. He leaned his body back a little and held his arms out from his sides. He didn't return my embrace. I buried my face into his chest and breathed in his smell. I didn't care if it was weird. I didn't care if he knew I was doing this. I missed him so much. I thought I would never see him again. I looked up into his dark eyes smiling and he returned my stare with an uncomfortable look.

I released him and looked over at Naruto. "Uh oh…"

"What?" Sasuke then looked over at Naruto as well and his eyes grew wide.

"I know this look…" I said.

Naruto was intensely looking over at Kakashi. I could feel an angry energy coming from within him.

*Shit we can't have him snap again.* I said to myself.

"Sensei…what the fuck have they been doing to you…"

"Sensei?"

"Teacher. He is our teacher." Sasuke responded to me. He looked very angry himself. I could see in his eyes he felt bad for Kakashi. I could tell he held high respects for this man.

"It's so good to see you two." Kakashi said. Once he spoke Naruto and Sasuke ran over to him.

"Yeah Sensei we've been looking for you! I'm so glad we found you."

"Let me guess… your Sharingan. I knew they wouldn't attempt the jutsu on you either. Just like me." Sasuke said. Kakashi nodded.

"Yeah we knew you would still be good! They'd be stupid to try that jutsu on the famous copy-cat ninja." Naruto said hopefully.

"I am so weak right now… I couldn't sense if it truly was you guys. That's why I told Sakura to hide." Kakashi said.

"Wait so Sakura is here too!?" Naruto said.

Kakashi nodded. I walked over.

*He must've been so focused on Kakashi he didn't even notice me run over to Sasuke.*

"I told you I could sense her too Naruto." Sasuke shot back angrily.

*Wait so what he said earlier… he was trying to speak to me telepathically asking where I was since he could sense me in the building. So why couldn't I hear him? And how does he have this ability with me now?* So many questions about mine and Sasuke's relationship that I just couldn't ask or worry about right now.

"She said she was helping you two." Kakashi softly said. Naruto shot me a big smile and Sasuke put his hand on his hip and smirked.

"Yeah I changed my mind you guys. Long story short I came here to find you and got myself lost in the process. And then I found him. Then you guys showed up." I looked down sadly.

"I-I'm sorry I changed my mind before. I wont this time. I promise."

Naruto walked over to me with a big smile.

"Thank you." He said.

I looked over at Sasuke and he coughed a little out of surprise. He was looking down at my hand.

"Sakura where did you get that?" His eyes grew wide for a moment in surprise when he seen I was holding a kunai knife. I held it up in my hand and stared at it. I looked at the blood on it once more then up at Kakashi. Naruto was also looking at it in surprise. Naruto then redirected his eyes to the distant wall on my left and seen more kunai knives sticking out of it.

He ran over and ripped the three additional knives out of the wall. He inspected each one of them. They all had blood on them.

"Kakashi Sensei is this what they have been doing to you!?" Naruto yelled. The gashes on his body made it apparent. He threw one of the knifes at the shackle on Kakashi's right wrist and red lightening shot from it. It electrocuted Kakashi's whole body and he seized for a moment. His neck went limp and his head fell to his chest.

"Oh my gosh, Kakashi Sensei! I'm so sorry!" Naruto yelled as he ran back over. Kakashi was panting heavily.

"Normal tricks…won't work…on this." He said between breaths.

"He's right Naruto look… that's no normal chakra." Sasuke said.

"It looks like pure evil." Naruto said.

We all paused in thought as we stared at Kakashi. All of us were trying to figure out how to free him.

"This is bullshit I'm going to break those chains no matter what. Kakashi we are not leaving without you that's a promise!" Naruto yelled. He jumped towards Kakashi.

"Naruto no!" I yelled. But it was too late Naruto already landed on the chains and he got shocked. He flew back into the wall behind Sasuke and I.

"Same thing happened to me when I touched them as well." I said. He stood up slowly with his hand on his back. I could see the aggression in his eyes.

"Naruto stay calm…" Sasuke said. But it was too late. I could see the fangs in Naruto's grimace.

*Oh no its happening… he's transforming. * I knew we couldn't allow Naruto lose himself right now. The nine tails chakra can't come out right now. He will go berserk again and cause a scene.

Suddenly I am picked up bridal style and Sasuke jumps far away from Kakashi to keep us at a safe distance.

Naruto jumped again onto the chains confining Kakashi. The red electricity from the evil chakra shocked him and he flew back into the wall once more. But this time he held on a little longer. When he stood to his feet and his eyes were a fierce orange-red color. Flashbacks hit me. He had those same eyes that he had before when he seen Sasuke all burnt up.

*He is starting to freak out because his Sensei is like this.*

He goes again. Jumps on the chains in an animalistic manner and held on for even longer. This time he bit down onto the shackle around Kakashi's left wrist. A bright flash of light sparks and the shackle breaks. Kakashi's left arm falls limp in front of him. Naruto is flown back onto the wall once more.

I looked over in fear and he stood back up once more. Such an angry intense stare was in his eyes. Now orange chakra from the nine tails was emitting from his body slowly dancing around him devilishly. His fangs were larger. I attempted to run over to Naruto to see if I could calm him down and Sasuke put his arm in front of me.

"Don't. It's working." I look up at Sasuke like an innocent child and he looks down at me seriously. It's like he could read my thoughts. I huddled up close to him in fear of Naruto's mental state. Sasuke rested his arm on my shoulder and basically held me in place so I wouldn't try to interrupt Naruto again. My eyes grew wide and I blushed. He didn't want me to move but I also could feel that it was because he was worried about my safety too. The energy of the evil chakra and Naruto's chakra was causing strong winds and electrical currents. It was like an indoor storm.

I heard one of the shackles break again and I squeezed my eyes shut. I tugged onto Sasuke's clothes.

"That's it Naruto… two more." Sasuke said quietly to himself. The room was glowing with red electricity and the wall Naruto kept being thrown into had a huge concave in it. His next jump I hear the last two shackles break back to back. Sasuke instantly jumps from my side and catches Kakashi. I run over and Sasuke lays him down gently. I sit down on my knees and lean over to examine Kakashi. Naruto was standing looking over us and then he closes his eyes and collapses to the ground. I crawl over to him and see that he has returned to his normal self. His wounds from the electrical shocks were healing. His mouth was bleeding from biting the shackles but that was resolving on its own too.

I crawled back over to Kakashi and looked over his body. He looked up at me through a half-lidded eye and smiled. He allowed me to peel off the rest of the duct tape from his face that was covering his other eye. There was a scar over it. He kept it closed. Sasuke was also sitting on the ground with us. He was quiet. I looked up at him and seen that his cheeks were red.

"W-What's wrong Sasuke?"

He was just staring at Kakashi's face blushing with wide innocent eyes. Kakashi looked over at him and let out a small chuckle.

"He's never seen my face without my mask on." Kakashi said with a smile.

"Naruto is going to be mad." Kakashi said with that same smile. I looked over at Naruto and he was sleeping quietly.

"These two have been bugging me for years to take off my mask."

I laughed and looked up at Sasuke. His arms were crossed and he was looking away with a child-like scowl on his face. His eyes were closed but his cheeks were still red.

"What's wrong Sasuke? Are you taken back by Kakashi's beauty?" I said with a laugh. I mean its true. Doesn't matter who you are -anyone would find this man gorgeous.

Sasuke opened one eye and looked down at Kakashi.

"Oh stop it." Kakashi said to me, still holding that same gorgeous smile. He went to sit up but winced in pain and laid right back down. Sasuke and I both looked at him worried.

"Wait Kakashi… let me heal the rest of your wounds." I placed my hands on his chest and closed my eyes. My hands started to glow green and my chakra danced over his whole body. Slowly the gashes on his skin started to steam and heal. Once I was done I took my hands from his chest and he sat up easily. He inspected his body.

"Thank you, Sakura." He said. He looked over at me and smiled.

"We need to get out of here." Kakashi said seriously. Sasuke nodded.

"But… not like this." He said comically looking down at his naked self.

"Right." Sasuke nodded. He ran over to Naruto's book bag on the floor and dug through his clothes. Sasuke pulled out a pair of scrubs and held them up for Kakashi to see.

"A little short, but it'll work." Out of respect I closed my eyes and Kakashi stood up. He changed into Naruto's scrubs and I stood up. He looked pretty funny the pants and shirt were too short for his height so it looked like he was wearing capris and a minor crop top. I kept my comments to myself and Kakashi rubbed the back of his head.

Sasuke picked Naruto up off the ground and flung him over his shoulder. He looked over and Kakashi and I.

"Let's go."

xxxxxx

I hope everyone liked my two newest chapters. There was an old comment I read that said something like "For the love of God let Kakashi be good." As everyone has now discovered he definitely is! (or is he?). Lmao jk. It was literally perfect I loved it lol. I don't think I could ever make his amazing self evil.
