The Black Leaf (Part 2)

Chapter 19: Hidden Cloud Revenge

The next day we woke up early and Kakashi walked me to the main gate where Iruka and Tenzo waited. Hikku was getting Naruto and Guy was getting a map from Lady Tsunade. We waited on a bench, and I could see the incertitude on Kakashi's visible part of his face.

I took off my necklace and put it on his hand. "You need to bring this back to me," I told him looking directly into his visible eye. "You cannot die in battle Kakashi, you better came back to me."

"I will," he said and took his necklace off. "You save this for me, then." He put the necklace on me and hugged me tight, I could hear Naruto and Hikku coming our way. A few minutes later, Guy arrived and we were ready to part. Kakashi and I, walked towards them and I could feel his grip get tighter on my hand as we got closer to the gate.

"Ready?" Tenzo asked looking at me.

I nodded and turned to face Kakashi who wrapped his arms around me. "I love you with all my heart, Izumi Uchiha," he whispered in my ear.

"Please take care of yourself," I whispered back. I pulled away to face him, I wanted to see his face one more time. I uncovered his Sharingan and pulled his mask slightly down. I caressed his face with my fingers, and he smiled. I pressed my lips on his for a soft, gentle kiss, which he returned. "I'll see you in three weeks," I said as I pulled his mask back up.

I turned to face the men and they all stared at us blushing with embarrassment. Kakashi walked next to me and looked at all of them. "You guys are taking my wife and my unborn child with you. Please bring them back to me," Kakashi pleaded. I felt joy in my heart the moment he said those words. I looked at Kakashi and smiled, it was in moments like these that I knew I made the right choice by marrying him. 

"You got it captain," Hikku said.

"You got nothing to worry about Kakashi-sensei" Naruto smiled, "we'll watch over them."

"Don't worry Kakashi," Iruka said.

"That's right Kakashi, you stay safe, we will protect your wife," Guy said giving Kakashi a hug.

"Captain," Tenzo came and shook Kakashi's hand, "no need to worry about them, you take care."

Kakashi nodded and gave me one last hug, and kiss on the forehead before we walked out of the gate.

We walked for three days, and I was surprised to see how much the men were watching over me. Offering me food, water, breaks, it was starting to irritate me. "I'm just pregnant, I'm not dying or anything," I finally told them, "I can keep up very well."

"Yeah she is actually really fast," Hikku said, "faster than Kakashi even."

"No way!" Naruto exclaimed. "Is it because of the Sharingan?"

"No," I said, "it's a technique I learned from my brother Shisui."

"We are almost there," Tenzo told us.

I sense a familiar chakra and stop leaping through he trees. I activated my sharingan and looked around. Once I had sense the woman I deactivated my eyes and jumped down.

"What is it Yams?" Hikku landed next to me, the rest of the men landed in front of me.

"An enemy?" Guy asked getting ready to fight.

"She is not your enemy," I said walking past the men. "Why don't you come out, you want me don't you?" I said loud and clear for the AMBU woman to hear me.

She leaped from the tree and landed a few feet from me, the men tried to move put I raised my hand stopping them. As soon as I lowered my hand three AMBU members leaped out of the woods as well and stood behind her.
