Chapter 20 (Saiya POV)

I looked around; there were a lot of trees everywhere.

Suzuki was looking at Kakashi, who was looking at me. I felt awkward; two men who have feelings for me, but I couldn't return the feelings to one of them. I can't describe the situation, but it was AWKWARD.

"Kakashi, where are we?" I asked.

"If I calculated correctly, we should be right outside Sound Country," he said quietly.

"Then let's get a move on," I said, trying to get out of Kakashi's arms, but he held on to me tightly.

He took off, Suzuki was following behind closely. At the speed they were going, we'd be in Konoha within 24 hours. But they were low on energy and chakra.

I felt my eyes close; I fell asleep.

(Kakashi POV)

I took a look at Saiya; she'd fallen asleep.

"Let's take a quick five minute break," I said quickly.

Suzuki nodded once.

I examined her wounds; her wrists were the worst. Just looking at them made my own wrists tingle. This shouldn't have happened. I should have been there for her.

"Kakashi, you love her a lot don't you?" I heard Suzuki say.

"Yes I do," I replied.

"And, she love you too right?" Suzuki asked me.

"Yes…so she says," I replied confused.

"I'm happy for you," Suzuki said quietly. "But if you hurt her, you will be sorry."

"I understand Suzuki," I responded just as quietly. "I understand that she sees you as an older brother."

"She does?" he said shocked.

"Yes, she holds you in very high esteem," I replied. 'I think.' I thought to myself.

We fell silent and continued out journey. Fourteen, nonstop hours later we arrived to Konoha and went straight to the hospital.

When she was admitted, and they took her to the ICU, I made a promise to her and myself: that I would protect her always.

(Saiya POV)

"Saiya, come to me my love," a voice hissed in the darkness.

"Where am I?! Who are you?!" I yelled, turning around and around, but all I saw was darkness.

"Right where I want you," Orochimaru hissed into my ear.

I turned around and saw Orochimaru.

I screamed.

I woke up sweating.

"Saiya! Are you alright?" Kakashi said, rushing to my side.

"I'm okay," I said shakily. "It was just a bad dream."

Never the less, he pulled me into a hug.

"Come on, now go to sleep," Kakashi insisted. "You need to concentrate on getting better."

"But after that nightmare, I don't think I can go back to sleep," I shook my head sadly.

"Alright," Kakashi sighed defeated.

"How long has it been?" I said, changing the subject.

"It's been a couple days; you just love the hospital don't you?" Kakashi teased me.

"Oh yea, how about I just move in," I said sarcastically.

"What was your dream about?" Kakashi said abruptly.

I shook my head and turned away, a little ashamed.

"You don't have to tell me if you don't' want to," he said quietly.

"It's not that, just, please don't overreact," I pleaded. "It was just a dream."

"Alright," Kakashi replied.

"Don't' do anything rash," I added quickly.

"Okay fine, now tell," he said a little impatiently.

I turned to face him, and sat on the edge of the bed. Kakashi sat next to me and put his arm around me.

"Orochimaru had me in the dark, with no one else," I said quietly. "He said he loved me."

Kakashi said silent and I could tell he was in deep thought.

"What did he do to you while you were there?" Kakashi said quietly.

I told him about the ropes; I told him how Kabuto and Orochimaru sexually assaulted me and almost raped me. I told Kakashi how Kabuto changed my clothes when I first got there. I told him how they had the entire cell fireproofed, and how Orochimaru knew I was coming.

"Kakashi, there's a mole in the ANBU," I finished quietly. "He still has a spy in Konoha."

A/N: So, there will be a lemon soon, which is why this is rated M. I haven't written a lemon in a really long time, so I don't know how good it will be. My teachers haven't posted grades yet /: So I'm really pissed about that. And I'm having a mental breakdown. Enough of my ranting. Thanks everyone for all of your support and love! Keep reading my lovelies (:
