Gone Forever

~~~~~~~~~~~~~Author's Notes~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Read Me!! – I would like to take this time to point out that I have AADD, comprehension problems, dyslexia and spelling problems. I dropped out of collage and lost my job because of this. I'll be upfront with you all. I am not comfortable having people pointing my mistakes out where people can see them it makes me feel no more then an inch and feel as if I am stupid. I don't mind if people PM or e-milling me about them... I would just like some dignity is all.

"Gone Forever"

By Kayathewolf

Chapter 1

It was late; the sun had just got done setting as a storm rolled in to the Leaf Village. The soft hiss of the rain and the scent of it hitting ground did nothing to calm a young women standing near an open gate to the village. Her pink hair hid her face as her blood shot green eyes tried to find movement among the trees. She clinched her fist as she hung her head

“It won’t be for that long Sakura; we’ll be back before you know it”

Said her mother’s voice from inside her head. Sakura lifted her head to the sky; tears and rain mixed as it feel down her cheeks. It had been three months now, what happen to then... where they alright? She closed her eyes as she turned and started to make her way home to her emptily house. Once she was in side she slowly made her way to her room where she shut the door and rested her back on the door and feel to the ground crying harder then she had while she was out side. Sakura brought her keens close to her and hid her face with in them.

She had fallen a sleep on her floor and didn't wake till she heard some one bounding on her front door. Sakura sat up and ran her right hand down the front of her face as she looked over at the clock. It was eight am who on earth was coming to see her so early? She thought as she grabbed a robe and made her way to her door. Sakura opened the door to find one of her friends standing there waiting for her. Shikamaru stood their on hand in is pocket as he rested in the door way and knocked with his other hand. Shikamaru looked sadder then normal and before Sakura could ask him any questions he spoke to her in a sad cold tone

“Lady Tsunade has scent me to get you, she wants to talk you now... Sakura its not good news...”

He cut him self off as he heard her give a sniffle 'how troublesome... ‘He thought as he sighed “I'll take you there if you want Sakura” he said as she looked up at him. She nodded and let him in to the house. She hurried back to her room and grabbed a decent looking out fit and threw it on and came back to living room to find that Shikamaru had only walked in the door and was just standing there

“Ready to go?”

He asked her and she nodded her head and they left as she took the door knob and closed the door.

They walked side by side not saying a word to one another; it was a forty minute walk from her house to the Hokage complex. Shikamaru walked her all the way to Tsunade's office door, he gave a sigh and open the door and lead her in to the room

“Lady Tsunade, I have brought you Sakura just as you had asked. I'll leave you two alone”

He said before turning and leaving just to two of them with in her office.

Tsunade sat behind her desk like she always had when she came to see her but this time was different she didn't have her normal look to her, she looked said and distressed about something. With a sigh Tsunade stood up at her desk

“I regret to inform you that we have gotten word to day from the Sand village that they have found two people that match your mother and fathers profile. They where found yesterday evening. Form the sound of the letter that was scent they are not a live any more.”

She paused and walked out from behind her desk and up in front of it rested her but on the desk

“I am truly sorry Sakura”

'This couldn't be happening' Sakura thought as she looked down and cried not caring that she was a ninja and was not suppose to so her true emotions to others. She brought her hands up to her face and wiped her tears away moments later

“W.. who killed t..them?”

She asked as she looked trying her best to not look like some little kid. Tsunade stood once more and looked over the letter and the report before she spoke

“At the moment there are no leads as to whom it was”

She handed Sakura a copy both of the pieces of paper. Sakura made to leave but Tsunade's words stopped her dead in her tracks

“If need any help or just want to talk... remember that you have many friends to lean on in your time of need Sakura, you don't have to go threw this alone”

Sakura nodded her head and with out another word left the office and walked her self home.

With in a few days everyone with in the Leaf Village knew that Sakura's mother and father where dead and that there wasn't much if any info to go on, Sakura didn't leave her house for the first week, she cried all the time and would sleep doe long hours some times day. After the eighth day she forced her self to get out of the house and get some fresh air, she changed her out so that now she wore her normal ninja out. She let her long pink hair just hang around her face she didn't feel in the mood to do much of any thing with it at the moment and she could really care less what people thought about her look.

At first no one even paid her much attention or even looked at her but as she got closer to the Hokage compound she could see people talking and whispering about her behind their hands. Had Sakura been back to her normal self the people that where talking about would live to regret it. She made her way up the long set of steps out side of the compound and was about to open the door at the top of the stairs when she heard a voice speak to her

“Ah Sakura, 'we' where wondering if you where doing alright. I am glad you’re out and about”

Said a male voice from next to her. Sakura turned her head to see her sensei just sitting out side a window on the roofing reading a book. Kakashi always had a book with him for as far back as Sakura remember him; he always had a book that he would read during there training. She sighed at first before she spoke

“Hello Kakashi sensei, I am sorry if I had worried you or the others... I just need some time to deal with it is all”

She said taking a step closer to him. With out looking up at her Kakashi nodded to her as he flipped a page in his book. It was always heard to tell his feelings. He wore a mask that covered his face from his nose down and he wore his hand band over his left eye to hide it from other people. Kakashi let out a sigh as he closed his book once he got to the end of the one chapter. Standing he slipped it in to his white ninja weapon bag on his backside. He starched out his arms before turning to Sakura “Tsunade’s been wanting to talk you, no there is no leads on what happen just yet” he said as he looked at her face some looking hopeful at his words at fist “No its about something else or so she has told me” he said jumping over to her and looking down at her. He gave a slight smile and opened the door for her.

They walked side by side down the hall till they got to Tsunade's office, before Kakashi opened the door Sakura asked him a question “Why are staying around... or are you also invaded with what Tsunade has in mined” He gave a sight nod but didn't say a word and opened the door and let Sakura in fist. Tsunade sat behind her desk yet again but this time she was looking over papers and books. She looked up briefly “Ah just the two people I was looking for... Sakura I hope you are faring will?” she asked as she tossed a book to the other side of her desk. Sakura nodded

“Yes, I am feeling better”

She said softly still keeping an eye on Tsunade as she rummaged threw papers

“Ah yes... here we are”

She said pulling out a paper and laying it on top of the others on her desk

“That’s good; I have a mission for you two... Do you feel up to going on a mission Sakura? “

She asked slowly at the end of what she had to say. Sakura nodded again

“Yes”

Was all she said. Tsunade had a smile on her face as she looked from one to the other

"Good, this is Good... it will just be the two of you this time, no need to bring Naruto or Sasuke with... they would just get in the way sadly. You two will be going to the last remaining strong hold of the Hidden Sound country. Some of the people left from when Sasuke killed off Orochimaru have reorganized and plane on being where Orochimaru has left off. You will gather info on ho many people they have and what there adjective is. Once you have this out you are to report back here at once”

She said before handing them a map and there mission info. Kakashi took all the info and lead Sakura out of the room.

Once he shut the door behind him he gave his head a slight shake before he spoke

“We'll leave first thing tomorrow... lets say around seven am? Pack your weapons and some money for the trip; we have a good 3 day journey to and from that place”

Sakura nodded and they split up and went there own ways. She went right home and began to pack her bag. She threw a few outs in there her hair brush, her wallet, some ninja foods and a blanket. She let out a sigh as she looked at the clock it was only three in the after noon. She could only hope that Kakashi would be one time this mission, he is always late by and hour or so. She plopped her self down on her bed and looked up at her ceiling and then turned over and grabbed a few Kuna’s and sat up in her bed. Maybe she would train for a bet before she lifted to go on her mission to get back to her normal self. She put the few Kuna’s in her holster on her leg and got up off her bed and left her house.

She made her way to training grounds 3 where team seven had first started, she stood in front of one of the wooden targets and took out a Kunai, and she held it at first but then whipped her arm forward and let it fly. It hit with a thud on the target, she was a bit off but that’s what she had came here for. She threw another one and it with a thud as well. Every time getting better and better then last one. As she threw her last one she felt as if she was being watched by some one. The last Kunai hit with a thud, she stood there for a moment before dashing to the target and ripping one of the Kuna’s out and throwing it at a near by tree and heard it hit the tree with a thud. It was then that she heard something from behind her. Some one was be hind her, she could feel the person behind her and as she went to turn around the person grabbed her by the back of the head and held a Kunai close to the back of her neck

“You should be resting not training Sakura!”

Came a male’s clod voice. He let her go and she turned to look at him, it was Kakashi that had caught her. She folded her arms over her chest

“Oh and what are you doing out here hmm? Look at the firefly's?”

She asked Kakashi's one viable eye narrowed a bit but he didn't replay to her question. He simply turned and said

“Go home and rest... we have a long journey and we will get no where tomorrow if you’re sleepy and beat from being out here”

And with that he disappear. Sakura pulled her kunai out of the target and put them all back in her holster and made her way back to her house it was starting to get real late now and Kakashi knew what he was talking about.
