Sensei just be with me! (Kakasaku) (being edited)

Chapter 15- Thank god"

"What's the name of the book were looking for again? Asks one of the ninja.
"Shut up with the loud talking would you?" Ibiki smacks him up the back of the head.
What's this book? I listen and decrease my chakra sign so the can't detect me.
"So 'he' really did it?" One asks. He stresses 'he'. Are they talking about kakashi sensei?
"Hatake that bastared!" Ibiki curses. I am stunned, they are talking about him. I ball my fists. He didn't do it! I shout in my head.

A man who I often see around the building when I'm here comes down the stairs and sees me. He had been standing at the bottom of said stairs with his lackies. They do look as if they could be headed to the archives, as their topic of conversation would hint at. I quickly turn to look at a leaflet on the table next to me.
'Stress and anxiety management ' .... by Dr Sakura Haruno.
Oh the irony.

Ibiki instructs his followers to stop lackadaisically lounging against the wall and with him they go down to the hall that follows the curvature of the building and disappears to the  right.
I begin to track their steps - they aren't so out of heat shot yet that I can't tell where they are going but then Tsunade's voice rings out, I hadn't even made it half way across he lobby.

"Sakura?" She asks her voice questioning. I smile meekly.
"I had just come to talk to you"
She eyes me skeptically as I say this. As if I hadn't being heading in the complete wrong direction!
She asks me what it is I needed her for, cocking an eyebrow and I tell her that I'm looking for an apartment. Although it is an issue of mine I hadn't really been that interested in it while I listened in on ibiki.

"An apartment?" She seems relieved by my motives. "Why?" She asks.
"I need to get away from my crazy mother and plus! All my friends live alone now, or with respective partners" I pause she doesn't seem convinced. Pondering my request while drumming her fingers on her crossed arms.

"Tsunade! How am I supposed to have a love life if I live with my parents?" I whine. Jumping on to a topic I know we've both founded awkward to speak of before.
Tsunade grimaces, probably remembering when I had told her about 'that' disaster. Oh that was so embarrassing. I redden a little in the face.

"Yeah okay I'll look, take care of your self Sakura, your losing weight" she says. I nod.
"Can I take my job back soon?" I ask quickly- she nods and we exchange goodbyes and then she returns to her office and I stand in the lobby.
"Well that was easier than expected" I look down the right curving corridor.
"This way?" I ask myself.

While this exchange wasn't loaded with

Looking back up the imposing staircase I dart down the corridor.
I come to the corner and I can hear their voices at the other end. Glancing around I can see them too. One of the ninjas look up and my direction so I throw my self around the corner again out of sight. I had forgotten to lower my sign.
"Oh god just brake the door down!" Demands Ibiki, his voice deep and chilling. I glance down the hall way again. I see them getting in using the key. As they all walk in I shoot down the hallway, catching the door before it locks. I listen to them. Their empty words on mundane topics bother me, the head of torture talking about such normal things is irritating.

There is a click and a scraping and then silence. I sneak in to the room and there's nobody here. I catch the sight of a book leaning out of the shelf like its on a lever.
"Close control" I laugh at how I would never have gotten the hint. I give them a few minuets and head in. I pull the book out and the trap door spins around. People probably heard that. I scurry down the hallway and find it gets colder the deeper I go in. I jump down a flight of five steps and then I round the only corner. It's a spiral stair case. I am actually quite dumbfounded that this was so extensively designed after the war.
Should I meet anyone on my way down I would be at a very big disadvantage. The stair case spiralled with my dominant right hand too close to the wall to fight.

There was suddenly talking very close by, I cover the signal again and creep down. It's very shadowy and so I crouch down into the shadows. Breathing lightly I listen. Ibiki was talking with a subordinate.
"Lock him up again, no food or water, we'll break him sooner or later." His voice bitter.
"What if he didn't do it? Going to this length could mean trouble, it seems as if he is almost hopeful" Ibiki just laughed at that.

"Bastared" I whispered. The men stood in silence for a minute.
"He has too much faith in that girl, she'll never break the rules" Ibiki spoke solemnly
"we'll crush that faith"
I ground my teeth at this. An over powering desire to protect my sensei washed over me.
Oh how familiar a feeling!
They walked into a jail cell. The door shut and I released a breath in frustration. What have they done to him? How has it ended up this way?

I tip toed down the hallway, the walls constructed from a metal that had a dull sheen- the dim lighting casting a smokiness a dingy and downcast atmosphere. There was a tiny fogged window on the wall I stared at it, he was behind that door. My heart swelled and beat uncontrollably. I couldn't see him very well but I don't care. There is sudden shouting and muttered replies. I look away from the door and when I did I heard a deadly slap. Gasping I clasped my hands over my mouth. There was a grunt and nasty retort.
I couldn't imagine how much pain he'd feel with out his chakra.
The back and forth of muttered voices is driving my anxiety sky high. I couldn't think of anything I wouldn't trade to swap my position for kakashi's. He's innocent- he would never betray the village- his home on such a scale as to warrant such a punishment.

I kept my ear to the door trying to follow along with the voices- ghosts of a conversation I can't comprehend. A few minuets later the interrogation team storm out, I cling to the door as it swung back and cracked me against the wall. With out a back ward glance they marched up the spiral stares. They expect the door to close with but I slip out from behind the huge heavy door and The door clicks shut with me inside. With surprised relief I am now inside the cell. Caution thrown to the wind- would I be able to get out I didn't care.
Kakashi's body slumped forward over his lap, his arms strung up in thick rope, tied to the back of the chair. The low ceiling light casting a harsh spotlight on him, the room drowned in dark shadows beyond the reach of the light.

"What do you want now!?" He curses, his voice altered, a depth resonating with anger.
I wordlessly rush to his side. His shirtless body adorned with pre-existing scars and fresh flesh wounds. I tip my fingertips brush gently off his shoulder. His head was hung and his hands bound behind his back. He looks up and his eyes grew wide. He surges forward but is restricted by the rope.

"Sakura?" His voice sent a chill down my spine.
"Yes" I gushed. Blood trickled from his wounds. Placing my hands over his most serious cuts I heal them quickly. I'm flustered- I can't waste time- I need to heal him, but I have the urgent need to kiss him, to wrap my arms around him to tell him I'll get him out.
His eyes sparkled a little and I couldnt help my self. I slide down his mask and hastily grab the back of his neck and plant a burning kiss on his lips.

"Thank god" he breathed between kisses. I scoot closer to him pressing my chest against his. I could feel his heart beating rapidly. He was pulling on the ropes- trying to be closer to me. I wrapped my hands around his neck and engulfed him in a hug.

"Everything will be fine, I'll sort this out" he promised. I laughed a little and sank back to sit on my ankles.
"I think this will be a little more difficult than stopping a childhood fight between Naruto and Sasuke."
He nods and looks at me for a moment in silence.

"I feel so stupid, that I couldn't have prevented this from happening. " He says a sullen expression taking over. I shook my head quickly, my throat stinging- and my eyes beginning to water. I can't cry! Not now, I can't afford to have him worry about me. He needs to see me confident he needs me to be strong for him.
"No, I trust you" I tilt his chin up. "You've been such a great friend and teacher, no matter what happened or what will happen I trust you" There was something about they way he looks that turned me on a little. I laughed a little at myself. Shifting a little in my position, a little uncomfortable. He apologises as all of a sudden I hear a thunderous stride pattern approaching from outside the confines of this jail cell.  The angry shouting all too familiar.

"Shit!" I say loudly and interrupt Kakashi's sentence as he had begun to speak.
"What?! He says looking a little worried.
"It's Tsunade-sama" I whisper as if she can already hear us.
