“Listen to Your Heart”

Chapter 8

“Despite how I feel inside,
Have to trust it'll be all right.
Have to stand up to be stronger.”

Within Temptation – Pale

________________________________________________________________________

Sakura dashed to Kakashi’s side as he hit the ground, her green eyes weld up with tears. He had pushed his body way past its limit this time. She rolled him over on to his back, she expected to see his face in a relaxed sleeping state but that was not what she found. His forehead and nose where wrinkled up in pain, she didn’t understand it… all the other times he had passed out he merely looked as if he where asleep. But now something pained him even while he was unconscious. She ran her left hand down the right said of his face as she spoke softy to him

“I’ll try my best to end the pain”

For now all she could do was rest, with her body having nothing left to give even to protect her self. She stayed close to Kakashi; he wouldn’t wake up for a few days if not a week from now dew to the strain on his body. She let out a soft sigh as she looked threw the trees as the sun was rising up to start the dawn of a new day. Closing her eyes she lowered the upper part of her body on top of Kakashi’s chest and rested her head, taken a few deep breaths before she two feel a sleep.

Hours later Sakura awoke to be pushed away from Kakashi’s warm body and loud cry of pain. Sakura gave her head a shake before looking back at Kakashi; he was rolled up in a ball with his hands digging at his left eye. She let out a gasp as she quickly made her way back to his side. Kakashi had pulled his mask down as he dug at his eye; blood was now starting to show here and there in a few of the long scratch marks around and over his left eye.

“Kakashi… You need to stop... You’ll only make it worse” came the pleading voice of Sakura

She reached out and took hold of his hands with hers. She didn’t know what was going on but it more then likely had to do with his sharingan that was with in his left eye. Shifting both of his hands to her left hand she tried to gather some of the chakra that she had regained from her short rest. Kakashi squirmed and grunted out in pain as Sakura slowly took her right hand placed it over his left eye. A blue glow of chakra surrounded her hand and she slowly began to let her chakra flow from her hand and in to his eye.

He let out a gasp as he tensed a bit at first but soon fell quiet and relaxed. Sakura took a deep breath as she sat back and looked down at him; it took a few moments for the sight of Kakashi with out a mask on to sink in. He didn’t look his age at all, he looked to be still with in his early twenties… there was no way her was thirty-two years old. Sakura’s green eyes trilled down the lift side of his chin where her eyes feel on to his lips.

“God… I could kiss him…”

Blushing a little a little at the thoughts as she looked away and took her left hand and pulled his mask back up. She took a deep breath as ran her right hand over her face stopping her hand so she could just barley see threw her fingers.

“Man that was a close one”

Digging her heals in to the ground next to Kakashi she pushed her self away from him. She was starting to like him more and more and now even found her self likely the idea of kissing him. Seeing him unmasked didn’t help maters… if any thing it just made it worse. She let out a soft sigh as she let her back rest on tree trunk behind her. She wrapped her arms around her legs and rested her head sideways on her keen caps; she slowly drifted off in to sleep again.

________________________________________________________________________

It wouldn’t be till evening later that day that she woke yet again; she had fallen over in her sleep and was now on her right side. Putting her right hand under her pushed her self in to a sitting pose and looked around her. Kakashi was still a sleep a few feet away from her, she balled her hands in to fist and rubbed her eyes before she got up and walked over to Kakashi. He seemed to be doing ok; Sakura knelt down next to him and rested the back of her hand over his forehead. He didn’t have a temp which was a good sign; she then rested her head on his chest and lessened to him breathing. His lungs sounded clear, he just needs rest she thought.

It was starting to get dark again, Sakura looked threw the trees and up at the sky. It was already starting to change from blue to purple, here eyes drifted from the sky to Kakashi. They would have to move again, it would be to risky to spend the night in the same place two nights in a row when you have people coming after you who want you dead. She let out a sigh as stretched out, she felt a lot better now but was still only at seventy percent. She wasn’t as fast as Naruto when it came to regaining her strength and chakra.

She would have no choice but to chary Kakashi to a different spot tonight. She let out a sigh as she took hold of Kakashi’s arm and pulled him close to her and then jostled him a bit till he was on her back with his legs around her waist and his arms hung limb around her neck. She took a deep breath as she stood up with Kakashi now in a good position to get some where fast.

It was funny sight; Sakura was smaller the Kakashi and the way she was holding him she looked like a little girl who had just won a huge teddy bear at the carnival and refused to let any one help her even though the teddy bare was 2 times the size of her.

Quickly just before the last few minutes of light where gone; she jumped in to a tree and started on her way back to the Leaf Village. She would again try and get to her home village to tell them what she had found out before someone tried yet again to kill her. She had been luck so far, Kabuto must still be quite upset over losing his leg or maybe he was trying find a way to get it back so he wouldn’t need a page leg or some one to chary him around. She let out a soft laugh to self at the thought Kabuto looking like pirate with a page leg.

Sakura leaped down from a tree many hours later she was with in six miles of the village now, she let put a soft pant as she slowly let Kakashi go and rested his back a tree trunk. Standing up she starched and tried to take a deep breath but forcing it only made her cough. Her green eyes feel on Kakashi who was still out cold

“I hope you don’t mind…. If I take a rest… we’re almost there now” she said softly

Sakura sat down on the ground and put her left hand in her back pouch and pulled out a canteen of water and drank from it. She had run for hours and had almost made it the other have of the way to her village before the light of a next day. Sakura let her self fall backwards; she now lay on her back. Taking a deep breath she closed her eyes to rest once again.

Sakura wasn’t a sleep for long when she felt some one getting close to Kakashi and her. She laid there as if she was still a sleep but pulled a kunai out of her leg holster and hid it under her body. Who ever was coming might be taken by surprise with this she hoped as she waited for the person to show them self.

Finally someone jumped down out of a tree; a guy was wearing a black cloak and had a white mask that looked like a monkey with red lines under its eyes and had gouge over the right said of the face. He was closer to Kakashi then Sakura; his hidden eyes looked from Kakashi to Sakura. He didn’t know what was going on, Kakashi and Sakura new better then to sleep without someone standing watch and the Anbu new it. He slowly bent down and checked on Kakashi. It was then that Sakura attacked; she swiftly turned and lunged at the Anbu member who just jumped back and out of her rang in the blink of an eye. Sakura feel to the ground with a thud and scent some dust in to the air around her.

Sakura readied her self to strike again when her green eyes feel on the Anbu member, standing up she adverted her gaze from the Anbu member who sided stepped and got close to Kakashi and Sakura again.

“What’s going on here Sakura?” the Anbu member asked

Sakura let out a soft groan as she looked over at the masked man in front of her. She knew his voice but can’t seem to remember who it was. She stayed quiet for a brief moment before she answered him.

“Please… I must get to Lady Tsunade at once… we where attacked on are mission… I have info that Lady Tsunade needs to know at once”

Her voice low but full of urgency; The Anbu member titled his head in thought. She put her weapon away and held her hands where he could see them. He gave a nod to her and walked up to Kakashi, he let out a sigh as he bent down and picked him up. The Anbu member pulled him close and whispered in to his ear, he knew it was useless to talk to him because he more then likely cant hear him but he spoke to him any ways barley above a whisper.

“You own me ‘BIG’ time yet again Kakashi”

He moved Kakashi so that he was hanging over his shoulder before he looked at Sakura

“Do you have enough strength to make it back to the village?”

She nodded her head; the Anbu member jumped up in to a near by tree and waited for her to join him before they went on there way to the village.

________________________________________________________________________


It only took them two more hours to get to the village gates, as they landed on the ground in front of the gates Sakura came to a stop to catch her breath. The Anbu member looked at her for a moment then at the desk near by the gate, Kotetu and Izumo sat there and watched as the Anbu member came up to them.

“Back already? That must be a village record there” Kotetu said as h laughed

“I don’t think he got that far Kotetu… That’s Kakashi he has over his shoulder you dumb ass” Izumo said as he hit Kotetu on he left shoulder.


The Anbu member just shook his head before looking back at Sakura. She was hunched over panting, the Anbu member let out a sigh at the site of her like that. She must have gone threw a lot to end up like that. Sakura wasn’t like she was when she was younger, she was no longer defenseless little girl that stood back and let others take care of her.

“Kotetu… Izumo see to it that Kakashi here gets to the hospital to be treated” the Anbu member said

Kotetu and Izumo quickly made there way from behind the desk and around to the Anbu member before Sakura could speak.

“No… He goes with us to see Lady Tsunade…” she said in an angry voice as she lifted her head to look at them.

“Lady Tsunade will see him later Sakura… Kotetu Izumo get going” the Anbu member said

He let Kakashi slip from his shoulder and in to Kotetu and Izumo grasp. He turned to Sakura who was now walking up to him, her right hand balled up in a fist ready to hit him. She didn’t care who this Anbu member was, she would make him pay for thinking he would be able to split her up from Kakashi. The Anbu member just shook his head and started walking away but stopped.

“Look I am taking time from my own mission here to help you out, the lest you can do is not be so dame troublesome Sakura… Now come on I’ll take you to Lady Tsunade” the Anbu member said as he started to walk away again.
