Here's the next chapter I tried hard on the fight scene but I dont think it was my best. My grammar checks are still having a dispute lol. I hope it came out ok. Please enjoy.

After the first innital tension between the two Kakashi and Sakura were able to eat breakfast in peace. There meal was easy and held allot of talk about the "weird" things that had been happening around her. She talked about the attack the night before, the gen- jutsu, the fact that Tora was an asshole. Sakura was beginning to feel as if life had painted a large bulls eye on her forehead. Kakashi understood that she needed comfort. Real comfort that sexual tension would not help with. So with that cue he scooped her up and threw her on his couch slipping his shirt off and laying behind her. She had protested immediately but when he put on a movie she understood. He was ordering her to take it easy as he put a throw pillow under her head. This was encase she decided to nap which he would allow as long as she was within his arms. This reminded him of the time she had gotten sick and in her delirium she bumped into Kakashi. He had taken her home and forced leek soup down her throat then held her in his bed until her fever broke. He noticed she was searching his living room as if something was off. His Icha Icha collection was missing and he knew that she would not find them because he no longer had them. When ever page reminded him of her he decided that it was time for them to go. Sai had surprisingly taken them only to give them to Hinata as a joke. Naruto in retaliation beat him for it later. The location of said books were currently unknown to him and that was fine with him. He had walked Sakura home after dinner and was rewarded with a kiss on the cheek and a smile.

When she had entered her home she found a stack of mail waiting for her. Within said stack were four letters. She read the first two from Jinse, and Shin they were dropping out due to stress the attacks were causing. The second was from Komaza saying he had tried to stop by but she wasn't home and he was glad she was ok. The third had no name on it but it made her scared. A few pictures were enclosed. One of her trading blows with Shino. Another of her date with Kotaru she was bent back with a smile on her face right before Ino had shown up. The final one was of her tucked into Kakashi's shirtless side as she slept. All the letter said was 'So beautiful at your most vulnerable. When I hold you tonight will your eyes be the same?' Her eyes widened and she began to think about who could have taken the pictures. She wanted to run but that seemed dangerous. She couldn't stay because she wasn't sure if the culprit was a maid or not. Hokage tower was to far away by herself. Naruto was on a mission with Sai. Hinata was a the Hyuga mansion which was further away than the Hokage tower. Then it hit her the Inuzuka's. She had a dog whistle Kiba had gotten her when they were on a mission so she could call Akamaru for back up. Three short whistles would bring Akamaru to her if he was within a fifty mile radius of it. So she blew hard three short bursts hoping that Akamaru would at least show.

The window broke as an explosive tag went off behind her throwing her forward. She had swung her legs over to land in a crouch glass was embedded in her back she could feel the blood sliding down her back. Her chakra still hadn't restored herself thanks to the revival jutsu's side effects. She would have to hope for rescue and heal when it was life threatening. A figure appeared through the smoke and rubble he was cloaked and wore a blank oval mask. Spotting her he lunged forward with a Kunai in hand. She parried with a table stand to his head from the right. His arm lifting and blocking the small table that broke on impact. He turned fluidly towards her thrusting his Kunai at her gut. Using the table legs as tonfa she blocked it wedging the Kunai within the hardened wood. She swung the other leg at his ribs barely missing and catching a knee to the chest sending her back wards. Using her momentum from the strike she did a back hand stand whipping her left foot to his chin and landing on her feet in a defensive pose. The figure didn't seem fazed as it gave a low sweep that she countered with a twisting jump sending her left foot against the side of his head. This threw him into the back of a couch breaking it in half. Again he stood unfazed and brushed his coat clear of debris.

He charged her again ducking under a right hook as he delivered an uppercut to her jaw. She retaliated with a a piece of broken furniture to block his kick to her ribs. This sent her through another window embedding more glass as she landed in the back yard. Her summons was no where to be found and that worried her. Who could get rid of something so powerful? She had no idea and she didn't have time to think about it. He had leapt forward with a katana in hand trying to impale her from above. She gathered what chakra she had into her knuckles and thrust them forward to meet the oncoming blade. The contact caused the assassin to loose his hold on the hilt and shattered the steel. She griped the whistle around her neck and blew it again with three short puffs. The assassin was on his feet again and had produced another Kunai. She couldn't afford another chakra laced anything if she was going to be able to heal after. She ducked the next swing and thrust her head up into his chin trying to break the mask. She was cut off with a fist to the gut causing her to hear a crunch. Two broken ribs were threatening to pierce her lungs now. As she coughed he landed a foot against her knees forcing her to land on her side.

That's when heard a snarl she almost cried with relief looking up to see Kiba and Akamaru. Akamaru had a piece of cloth hanging from his mouth as he bore his fangs. Kiba tilted his head back with pride in his eyes. She had called him when she was in trouble. Not the Uchiha's, not a Hyuga, or anyone else! The wind was tousling his hair and the moonlight was illuminating his muscular silhouette. He was what she imagined sin to look like personified at that moment. The assailant had prepared for the medic but not the Inuzuka and was clearly debating a tactical retreat. Kiba guessed as much but wasn't planning to allow him to live that long. He had brought harm to the woman that held his heart and he would be damned if this asshole was going to get away with it. A howl was heard behind them as Hana and Tsume arrived with their own ninkin. The whistle wasn't specific to just Akamaru and Kiba Sakura was extremely lucky in this case because Hana could help the healing process.

"Pup rest now and let us take care of this you really gave them hell." Tsume laughed as Hana knelt to Sakura examining her glass filled back. The smell of her blood had both excited and enraged the Inuzuka heir. Her whimpers as Hana began to remove glass shards fueled his desire to rip the man apart. The assassin was no fool, he could handle one Inuzuka and his partner but three and their pack that was suicide especially when in the open and they could gain space and speed easily. So like any assassin he with this knowledge he fled. Kiba wasn't about to hesitate his pursuit until his mother stopped him.

"Watch over her. Hana and I will track him." Tsume was gone before Kiba could protest. Looking back at Sakura he grimaced as her scent hit his nose. Watching her heal her ribs through her tattered shirt was almost painful. There sat his intended beaten to the point she had called for help. She clutched the whistle in as if she thought letting go would cause her reality to change. Kiba walked to her back with a sigh as Akamaru lay beside her. He noticed how ridged her wounds were. Leaning forward he cleaned each gash with tenderness. He knew she wouldn't mind and would later heal the wounds herself. She was trembling visibly and when she looked at him her eyes pleaded with him to tell her she wasn't weak. Her fingers tightening around the whistle. With a sigh he pulled her into his lap and held her close. What came next was unexpected and no matter how he fought it he would not regret his decision.

Kakashi's scent had been on her and it was thick which meant prolonged contact. This sparked a possessive growl. He would wash away that smell right now and he'd be damned if she would stop him. Akamaru had smelt it to and tried to distract Kiba with a whimper to no avail. Without warning he got up cradling Sakura to his chest, and brought her into the house then the bathroom and started the water. He ignored her shrieks of protests when he almost ripped her shirt off tossing it aside along with her pants, and arm warmers. He slapped away her hands that attempted to cover herself and finished removing her undergarments. She still had his scent and it pissed Kiba off even more. He wanted to take her right then and there but he would control himself. Depositing her in the over sized tub her began the task of cleansing her of Kakashi. She had begun to relax for him not enough to allow any contact with her chest or hips which she kept trying to hide from his view.

"Sakura I have seen you naked on missions that provided no other option. It's pointless to hide your body from me when all it does is hinder thee progress of tending to your wounds." He growled becoming frustrated.

"I know." Was her weak response as she brought her knees to her chest clutching the whistle. "Why did Hana and Tsume come as well?"

"That whistle is specific to just Akamaru and technically your not suppose to have it still." Kiba watched her clutch the whistle tighter to her chest as if he would take it from her. "Relax I dont want it back. I'm just explaining that its an heirloom. Only the heir is suppose to have it. If an Inuzuka or their ninkin hear it the come immediately because the heir is in trouble."

"Why would you give me something like this? You could get into big trouble." She turned to look at him in shock.

"Because if anything ever happened to you I would be in trouble." He let the water drain as he rolled his eyes. She stood up as he threw a towel at her, and wrapped it around her.

"Yeah I Tsume can be pretty scary when she wants to be." Sakura smiled at him remembering when Tsume had declared Sakura was her pup after Kiba brought his last ex home to meet her. Tsume had become enraged as accused the girl of being a whore cheaper than a breath of air. Kiba hadn't argued about it because Sakura then crossed from Hana's room to the kitchen and her scent had caused his head to snap in her direction. Tsume had used this opportunity to declare that Sakura would be her pup one day which made the girl he brought home furious.

When she had called Tsume a name that Kiba couldn't remember to this day he and Tsume got a shock. Sakura jumped the counter and knocked the woman through the wall and Kiba through the one behind him. She told Kiba that any woman who would disrespect his mother obviously wasn't good enough to bring home, and she was ashamed of his choice in women. To bad she didn't know that his choice was her. He just hadn't realized it at that point, and it took a competition for him to realize this. No matter how smart he thought he was he knew he was a moron.

"Sakura, you were with Kakashi today right?" He asked feeling like he was prying.

"Yeah?" She answered and looked off to the floor.

"You should go get dressed." He sighed as he pushed her out of the bathroom earning him a smile. He sent Akamaru to Tsunade to inform her of the situation.
