Chapter 10: Sakura

Hinata is going out with Gaara and Naruto is going out with Tenten and Sasuke is going to break up with me. Dinner finished quicker than Sakura had wanted it to. Naruto waited for Sasuke before he left but he went with Sakura to the kitchen. "I don't think we should be together."

"Alright." She said as he walked back out of the kitchen. He and Naruto were first to leave. Sakura didn't mind much that they left. Gaara stayed and helped then clean up then he left. Hinata and Sakura watched a movie before they finally decided that they were tired and needed to go to sleep. Sakura awoke to the sound of clashing and clanging coming from down stairs. She checked to make sure that Hinata was still asleep. She was. So Sakura grabbed the sword from the wall it was hanging on. She walked down one step at a time. More clashing came. She got to the living room and cornered the person in there. She had the sword up to his throat.

"Damn it Sakura you need to make more noise when you do this." Kakashi said as he made her lower the blade. "We have to go. Now! Tsunade is going to stay here. She is going to make sure that Hinata is safe. Get packed. Only pack what is necessary. Don't leave any pictures of your self. We have to leave right away." She dropped the sword and ran up stairs. I can't believe this is happening again. They always manage to come when ever I get comfortable. She got the suit case sitting at the top of the closet. She grabbed a piece of paper from the bed side table. She wrote Hinata a quick note. 'Hinata I am so sorry about this. I can't stay any longer. Kakashi and I have left. We won't be back until Tsunade says it is safe to come back. Don't tell anyone. I will call you when I can I will make sure I come back eventually. Good-bye Hinata.'

She shoved some clothes in the bag and rushed back down the stairs. She grabbed the sword from the ground and rushed to the car where Kakashi sat waiting. It was a silent car so they didn't wake anyone up. Tsunade went into the house to stay and make sure that no harm came to Hinata "I am so sorry Hinata." She whispered into the night. She looked at her clock. Midnight. Why is it always so late when we leave? Oh, well I guess I can't complain just go Kakashi I don't want them to hurt anyone here just make them follow us away from here and we'll lose them out of town. Come on man drive! He thoughts screamed at her. She looked at him and he took off speeding down the street to the nearest high way exit. They got on the high way and took off faster then she could ever remember going in her life.

Memories of the night that her parents died flooded through her. "Sakura when we get to the place we're going you have to run and hide don't come out until you're mother or I come and get you. If we don't come to get you. Run as fast as you can and as far as you can. In every town you get to look for a man named Kakashi and woman named Tsunade. They can help you and they will protect you if we can't. I love you Sakura."

"I love you to daddy." She looked at her dad for the last time in her life. She tried to remember a time where they were all happy. The last time she could remember that was of Christmas the year before she turned nine. The snow was falling out side of the cottage being warmed by the fire. She looked outside and smiled when her mom said her name. "Sakura. Do you want to open your presents or just look out the window?" She ran over to her mom and gave her the biggest hug ever. Her mom laughed and handed her the first present.

"Sakura!" Kakashi yelled and she snapped out of her fantasy and looked at him.

"What?" She yelled back.

"Listen I know that you didn't want this to happen but you can't keep focusing on the past we need you to not remember those incidents because you know that's how they track you is through your thoughts. You were thinking about them coming back and that's why were running now. Don't think about them or anything else about your past and we can get through this." He said while keeping his eyes on the road making sure to avoid all of the other cars on the highway. When there wasn't any other cars around they stopped at the nearest rest stop and traded sides. With in minutes Kakashi was asleep. Every now and then she would check and see if he was still alright. Every time he was alright only he never moved. She thought he wasn't going to wake up for a moment or two because he didn't breathe.

"Look who's finally awake." She said when he snapped his open.

"Ha-ha. Very funny keep your eyes on the road missy."

"Oh, by the way Tsunade called your phone I didn't hear it until it was already a missed call and she hasn't called back since."

"Thank you. I guess." He said and made her pull over so he could drive again.

"Pushy pushy. Alright." she said as she pulled over and then waited for him to get out so she could climb over the center console.

"You couldn't have done that the easy way?" He said as he got in.

"I'm not easy Kakashi you should know this by now." She laughed.

"Look who's the perverted one now."

"Still you Kakashi."
