Darui's Cherry Blossom 

                                                     Chapter 2

Hiruzen and the group of men following him body flickered to the hospital and went to the ICU waiting room and asked one of the nurses where Dr. Yusuke is.

“Excuse me miss, where is Dr. Yusuke at? I would like to know the results of Sakura Haruno’s test.” Hiruzen asked her.

“Let me page Dr. Yusuke. He is with other patients.” The nurse replied. Hiruzen nodded his head and sat down with A, Killer Bee, and Darui. 

Dr. Yusuke came out a few minutes later, scratching his head.

“Oh, hello Lord Hokage and Lord Raikage. I’m sorry for the wait, some of the patients were being, how do I put it, unruly.” Yusuke said. That cracked a small smile on everyone. 

“I would like to know Sakura’s test results, Yusuke.” Hiruzen said. 

“Can we speak in my office Lord Hokage. I don’t need extra ears listening to the conversation.” Yusuke said. Hiruzen nodded getting the hint. 

The Hokage and the other men followed Yusuke to his office where there was a corner covered with a shadow from the light not hitting that certain area but nobody knows that there is someone there except for the two shadow wolves.

“Sakura Haruno’s test results were inconclusive. There was an unknown DNA strands that were added to Sakura Haruno’s DNA but unfortunately we are still running tests. Good news is that she will awaken in about week. She is in a medically induced coma so that she will heal. The other bad news is Sakura Haruno was raped but we won’t know if she is pregnant or not. I hope it’s the latter of the news.” Yusuke said. 

Hiruzen nodded his and clenched his fists, so Did Darui, Cee, Killer Bee, and A. They all were angry, especially Darui. He can see how beautiful Sakura is and maybe when she is released, maybe just maybe, they can get to know one another.

“I should report this to Lord Danzo. He is very interested in the girl but don’t know why?” The Unknown Root Ninja said but unfortunately he was heard by the Shadow Wolves. 

“Oh no you don’t you bastard.” The Larger of the two Shadow wolves said as he lunged out of the darker part of the shadow and got the bastard Root by the back of his neck and threw him out of the shadow and made the poor unsuspecting Root Ninja at Hiruzen’s feet.

Hiruzen was about to ask Yusuke about Sakura’s other injuries when something unusual happened. A Root Ninja was thrown at his feet and the said Ninja  was bleeding from his neck and by the looks of it, the wounds look like teeth or claw marks.  

“Who did this and who do you think you are?” Hiruzen asked. 

“I can answer that.” An unknown male voice said.  The Unknown male voice came out of the shadows with a smaller wolf. 

“I attacked the bastard. He mentioned a name Danzo and why the bastard is interested in the young girl. My name is Masahiro and I am the leader of the Shadow Wolf Clan. This is my daughter, Nami, and she was the one who alerted the one who has a tailed beast inside him.” Masahiro said.

“That was me. Killer Bee, the 8 Tailed-Ox, is his name Gyuki.” Killer Bee said.

“Nice to meet you. What shall we do with the pest?” Masahiro asked.

“I will send him to Ibiki and Anko. They will interrogate him.” Hiruzen said as he flared his chakra a bit. Two Anbu appeared by his side.

“Lord Hokage Sir. What are your orders sir?” Squirrel asked.

“Take this unknown Anbu to Ibiki and Anko and tell them no kid gloves either.” Hiruzen said as Squirrel and Squid took the unknown injured Anbu to Ibiki and Anko.

“Anyways, Sakura’s results will take some time. As you know DNA Testing takes 2 to 3 months to come back.” Yusuke said. 

“Very well. I will wait for the results. In the mean time, what shall I do to Kakashi.” Hiruzen said to himself.

 “You mean Kakashi Hatake, the man who copied over a thousand Jutsus and techniques, is her Genin Sensei? Speaking of her sensei, where is he and her team?” Cee asked. Hiruzen sighed.

“This is partially my fault. I assigned Team 7 under Kakashi Hatake to a mission to the Land of Gemstones and to the Villages of Crystal Valley and Diamond Lake and Kakashi decided to keep Sakura here in the Leaf despite my orders for the entire team to go.” Hiruzen said. 

“Oh I know the perfect punishment.” Hiruzen cackled evilly. Elsewhere, Kakashi felt a shiver go down his back.

“I don’t want to know.” Darui said.

“Anyways, we should discuss the terms of our treaty tomorrow after we are well rested from this horrible tragedy.” Ay said.

Everyone nodded their head when a knock sounded at the door.

“Come in.” Yusuke said.

A nurse came in the room and bowed to the Hokage and to the Raikage.

“Pardon my intrusion but there are a couple of girls waiting in the waiting room. They are former classmates of Sakura Haruno. Shall I escort them to her room?” The Nurse asked. Hiruzen sighed. He told Ino Yamanaka not until tomorrow. 

“I told Miss Ino that she is not allowed visitors until tomorrow but we are done here today. We should get some rest until tomorrow.” Hiruzen said.

“Very well, Lord Hiruzen. I will be at your office 7 a.m. sharp to discuss the terms. Bee will be with me but Darui and Cee will remain with the girl for the rest of the week and until the girl has awoken.” Ay said. Darui and Cee nodded. 

“I would also like to add my daughter, Nami, as extra protection. If possible, maybe she will become my daughter’s companion.” Masahiro said.

“I appreciate it Lord Masahiro. Is your clan a summoning clan as well?” Hiruzen asked. Masahiro nodded. 

“Yes we are. Our elder, Master Takumi, has been around since the Sixth Paths Era and he might be interested in the young girl. My daughter and I told him about her rescue and what  torment she went through. Needles to say, he his royally pissed off. ” Masahiro said.

“I am too. I want to hunt down Orochimaru, my former student and Ninja from this village, an dhis two cohorts and beat theirs asses and then hand them over to my personal summon, Monkey King Enma.” Hiruzen said. 

“I would like to join you there. Gyuki wants to burn them alive.” Killer Bee said. 

“I am to ask for Kage Summit and I would personally invite each Kage of the village. Raikage, would you like to attend?” Hiruzen asked. 

“Of course but what about the girl, Sakura was it, won’t she need protection if you are not here and what if those idiots try again?” Ay asked. 

“Sakura will go with me to Stone, Mist, Sand, and Rain. I know there is someone else in charge of the Rain Village and I would like to know who ot is and invite them to Konoha for the Kage summit.” Hiruzen said.

“When will you go?” Cee asked.

“Pardon my interruption Lord Hokage and Lord Raikage, but I must be going back to check on some patients and making my rounds.” Yusuke asked sheepishly.

“Oh of course. We should be leaving you to your work Dr. Yusuke.” Hiruzen said.

“I will check on Sakura Lord Hokage.” Darui said. “May I be her guard for the rest of the stay here?”

“Yes you may Darui.” Ay said.

“Cool man. I hope the stay won’t be so drab either.” Darui said with a chuckle.

“We shall take our leave.” Hiruzen said as he and the group left the room.

“We should be going as well. I will go talk to Master Takumi and Nami will stay in the shadows to monitor the girl and protect her from the shadows.” Masahiro said.

“We appreciate it Lord Masahiro.” Yusuke said.

“Come Nami.” Masahiro said as she and Nami faded into shadows. With everyone gone, Yusuke and his nurse left to go make rounds.

With the Hokage

“Before, I forget. To answer your question, Cee-san, Sakura will go with me. She is the nicest and most sweetest child I have ever met besides Naruto Uzumaki. They both befriended each other at a young age and there is something special about them both.” Hiruzen said.

“I almost forgot to ask, where are her parents? Shouldn’t they be here with her because of her ordeal that she went through.” Darui asked. Hiruzen’s shoulder’s slumped and was about to respond to his question when Ino’s voice rang into their ears.

“Sakura’s parents were killed last year and it will be 1 year next week for the anniversary of their deaths. Sakura was devastated. She has been alone since then. My family tried to get her to live with us but she politely refused, not that I blame her. I’m Ino Yamanaka. Thank you for rescuing her.” Ino said.

Darui felt even more bad for mentioning about Sakura’s parents. He too knows what it’s like to be alone. His family is gone except for his nephew, Omoi. He came into Darui’s care after his sister and family were killed in a raid on the village almost 10 years ago. Cee saw the look on his face and so Cee lightly punched his shoulder.

“Hey, you didn’t know. So don’t worry about it.” Cee said. Darui nodded.

“Eh, don’t worry about little miss.” Killer Bee said. 

“Ino, what are you doing here? I thought I told you Sakura is not allowed any visitors until tomorrow.” Hiruzen said.

“I just wanted to put some flowers in her room.” Ino said sheepishly.

“And what about you Miss Hinata Hyuga.” Hiruzen asked. Hinata’s name had the Cloud Ninja stiffen.

“I just wanted to give the Dr. some healing ointment that I developed.” Hinata said. 

“You developed healing ointment? Does your father know?” Hiruzen asked. Hinata shook her head.

 “No he does not. Although, I think he does know about me making the healing ointment bur hasn’t said anything to me yet.” Hinata said.

“Very well, I will give Dr. Yusuke the ointment and see if it works on some of Sakura’s wounds and Darui will take the flowers Miss Ino. You can see her tomorrow during visiting hours.” Hiruzen said. 

Ino and Hinata nodded. Ino handed the flowers that were in a vase to Darui and Hinata handed her ointment to Hiruzen who gave it to Darui.

“Give the ointment to Dr. Yusuke when he comes to see Sakura later.” Hiruzen said and Darui nodded. 

“Good night Lord Hokage and Lord Raikage. Enjoy the rest of your night.” Ino and Hinata said as they left the hospital to go home.

“I think we should retire for the night.” Hiruzen said.

“I for one agree with you, Lord Hokage.” Cee said.

“Good Night Lord Hokage. Sleep well.” Ay said as he and his entourage left the hospital and went to the hotel assigned to them all except Darui. He remained behind at the hospital with Sakura.

“Good night Darui-san.” Hiruzen said as he left the hospital and retired for the night.

Darui left the lobby and went to Sakura’s room where he saw that Nami, Masahiro’s daughter, was sleeping on the foot end of Sakura’s bed, he silently chuckled and closed the door behind him quietly. Darui also noticed that most of the swelling went down on Sakura’s face, if only a little bit. A knock sounded at the door.

“Come in.” Darui said. Dr. Yusuke came in with a nurse behind him.

“Hello Darui-san. I’m here to check on Sakura.” Yusuke said.

“Ok but a Hyuga girl gave me this ointment and said it’s a healing ointment and the Hokage said to give it to you to try on Sakura.” Darui said as he gave the ointment to Dr. Yusuke and put the vase of flowers on the window sill. Nami woke up when the doctor came in and retreated to the shadows until they left.

“Let me try the ointment out.” Yusuke said as he held the ointment in his hands and donned some gloves, dipped his fingers in the ointment and spread a little bit of the ointment on one of Sakura’s bad bruises on her face and to everyone’s amazement, the ointment worked and healed the bruise down to a lighter shade.

“Amazing! This is simply amazing.” Yusuke exclaimed. Darui couldn’t believe it either.

The nurse checked Sakura’s vitals and rewrapped the bandage on her face and checked the cast on Sakura’s arms. 

“Everything is normal Dr. Yusuke.” The Nurse said.

“Very well. Good night Darui-san and please try to get some rest.” Yusuke said.

“I’ll try but can’t guarantee it.’ Darui said.

“Eh, same here.” Yusuke said as he and his nurse left the room.

“Sakura please get better soon. No one should have gone through what you just did. I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy except for those who hurt you.” Darui said as he sat in a chair that was located next to her bed. Nami came out of the shadows and curled up on the end of Sakura’s bed. 

A Week Later

A week went by and nothing changed in Sakura’s condition. Cee and Darui often swapped to protect  Sakura. Yusuke said that she was healing nicely and should wake up any time. Ino and Hinata came by to see Sakura to bring Sakura some company even though she is unconscious and change out her flowers.

Sakura groaned from the pain. She opened her eyes for the first time and noticed that it was dark outside and also noticed that there a dark skinned man sitting in the chair next to her bed, sleeping.

Sakura tried sitting up but she couldn’t. she had no strength and also noticed that she had a cast around her right arm. 

“What happened to me?” Sakura said to her self but she was heard by the dark skinned man that was sitting in the chair next to her bed.

“Let me get the doctor and the Hokage and they will explain to you.” The Dark Skinned Man said.

“I need water.” Sakura groaned. The Dark Skinned Man gave her a glass of water and she drank from the glass that was handed to her.

“Thank you sir.” Sakura said.

“Your welcome. I’m going to go get the doctor now.” The Dark Skinned Man said.

“Ok. Thank you but do you know who’s dog this is and why it’s sleeping on my bed?” Sakura asked.

“I will let the Hokage tell you.” The Dark Skinned Man said. “Oh, by the way, my name is Darui of the Village, Hidden in the Clouds. What’s your name beautiful?”

Sakura blushed. No one has called her beautiful except for her father but that was until he died.

“My name is Sakura Haruno. Nice to meet you.” Sakura said.

“I will be right back.” Darui said.

“Ok.” Sakura said.

Darui left Sakura’s room and went to the nurse’s station. 

“Excuse me, but could you page Dr. Yusuke and the Hokage. Sakura has woken up from her coma  and has questions while I will go alert my boss of the development.” Darui said as he left to go back to Sakura’s room when the nurse nodded her head. 

Darui knocked on Sakura’s door and walked in when she said that he could enter the room. 

“I’m back. I had to tell the nurse to alert the Dr. and the Hokage while I would alert my boss.” Darui said.

“How would you do that?” Sakura asked.

“By doing this.” Darui said. Darui went through some hand signs and puff of smoke revealed a Shadow Clone and sent his clone to go alert Ay, Killer Bee, and Cee that Sakura woke up. Sakura looked amazed.

“Wow. That’s awesome. My teammate Naruto can do them and boy can he make them.” Sakura said. 

“That’s awesome although this is a Jonin-Level technique.” Darui said with an eyebrow raised.

“I didn’t know that but it’s still cool though.” Sakura said. 

A knock sounded at her hospital room door.

“You can come in.” Sakura said and the door opened to allow Dr.  Yusuke, Hiruzen, Ay, Killer Bee, and Cee in the room.

“Hello. Sakura, how are you feeling?” Yusuke asked.

“I feel fine but I am still in pain. Does anyone know what happened to me? Why is this dog in my bed?” Sakura rambled on with the questions.

“I can young one.” Masahiro said as he came out of the shadows of her room. 

“My name is Masahiro of th Shadow Wolf Clan and that my dear, is my daughter, Nami, laying on your bed.” Masahiro said as he sat by Hiruzen’s feet.

“Oh that’s cool but what does that have to do with me?” Sakura asked.

“My daughter alerted these men to your horrific attack and brought them to your rescue. The blonde haired man with the dark skin carried you after his partner could do nothing for you.” Masahiro said.

“Oh thank you Darui-kun.” Sakura said. “Darui-kun? Already.”  Was what everybody thought including Darui. 

“Your welcome Sakura but it was Nami that alerted my boss’s brother to you and yor attackers. I threw a Kunai at the one that was about to kill you and that’s when they disappeared. And we brought you here.” Darui said.

“But still thank you Darui-kun. I also have a question Dr. Yusuke?” Sakura asked.

“Yes  Sakura.” Yusuke said.

“How serious was I hurt. I know they hurt me but I don’t know where. I know one of them injected me with something before I passed out and after they…….” Sakura couldn’t finish her sentence but the men got her point. 

“Unfortunately Sakura, it’s true and we can’t isolate what was injected into you. We are waiting on confirmation what it is and it will take 2-3 months to get the results in.” Yusuke said somberly.

“Did he….release inside of me?” Sakura quietly asked.

“Yes and we have two unknown males semen samples from rape kit. I’m so sorry Sakura.” Yusuke said. 

Sakura didn’t say anything, she just started crying. Nami sensed her tears and curled up on Sakura’s lap, whimpering.

“We’ll be back later Sakura-chan.” Hiruzen said.

“Don’t leave me Darui-kun. I don’t want to be alone.’ Sakura said.

Darui nodded while the others left the room. Masahiro left the room via the shadows.

Sakura fell asleep, although she would wake up in restless fits. 

“I vow to find these fuckers and kill them for harming this beautiful young girl.” Darui thought.

The next morning

Sakura woke up but she was still feeling tired because of her restless sleep.

“Good morning beautiful. Are you hungry? How are you feeling.” Darui asked from the chair.

“Good morning Darui-kun. Yes I’m hungry. I’m feeling much better than this morning.” Sakura said.

“That’s good. I’m glad your feeling better.” Darui said as he rang the button for a nurse.

“Yes.” A Nurse replied.

“I would like some breakfast please and could you get doctor Yusuke for me. I need to ask him something.” Sakura said.

“Of course dear and Dr. Yusuke will be right with you.” The Nurse said. 

“Thank you.” Sakura said as Darui let go of the button for her. 

“Thank you Darui-kun.” Sakura said as she stared at the ceiling.

“Your welcome Sakura-chan.” Darui said. Sakura blushed.

“Sakura, how old are you?” Darui asked.

“I’m 12 years-old. I graduated from the academy about four months ago. How old are you, Darui-kun?” Sakura asked.

“I’m 21. My partner, Cee, are both Jonin and we both protect the Raikage and his brother, Killer Bee.” Darui said.

“Oh wow. That’s awesome. I’m only a Genin. What’s it like in Cloud?” Sakura asked.

Darui was about to answer when the opened. It was a nurse with a tray of food. Dr. Yusuke followed a minute later.

“How are you feeling Sakura?” Yusuke asked. 

“I’m feeling fine Dr. Yusuke but I have a question to ask.” Sakura said.

“What is it.” Yusuke asked.

“Is there any chance that I could become pregnant rom all of this?” Sakura asked. 

“it’s early to tell.” Yusuke said. Darui clenched his fists but nobody noticed.

“Ok, thank you Dr. Yusuke. Is there any possibility I can be released?” Sakura asked.

“You can be released this evening. We just have to run more tests.” Yusuke said.

“Thank you Dr. Yusuke.” Sakura said.

“Your welcome Sakura. Enjoy the rest of your day.” Yusuke said.

“Same to you Dr. Yusuke.” Sakura said.

Dr. Yusuke left Sakura’s room, so Sakura could enjoy her breakfast. Darui stayed in the room to keep Sakura company.

4 hours later

Sakura got released from the hospital. Sakura was glad for it.

“Darui-kun, isn’t you boss still here?” Sakura asked. Darui nodded.

“Yes he is. Why do you ask?” Darui asked.

“I want to ask him what it’s like in Cloud. I want to learn moe about Cloud and all the other Villages and countries.” Sakura said and Darui was about to respond when they heard Ino’s voice.

“FOREHEAD-GIRL!” Ino screeched as she came running up to Sakura and Darui. Darui grumbled about Sakura’s forehead being beautiful and hope Sakura didn’t hear him but she did. Sakura giggled and Darui blushed.

“Ino-pig.” Sakura greeted. 

“Did you just get released from the hospital?” Ino asked.

“Yes I did. Darui-kun here is escorting me home so I can recover there.” Sakura said.

“That’s amazing. Do you mind if the Teams come over. We are all worried about you.” Ino asked. Sakura looked at Darui who shrugged.

“Alright but only for an hour.” Sakura said.

“Awesome. I can’t wait to tell them teams. I have to go Forehead.” Ino said as she rushed off. Sakura growled and Darui chuckled.

“Anyways let’s get going to my house so I can get comfy before company comes over.” Sakura said as she and Darui continued to her apartment, which is quite large for herself but you never know when she is going to need the room.

Along the way, Sakura and Darui ran into Genma and Raido who were escorting the Raikage Ay, Killer Bee, and Cee.

“Sakura-chan, you’ve been released.” Genma said. Darui gave him a small glare which was caught by his boss and friends.  

“Yes Genma-san. I will probably be ready to start training again in two months-three months. Dr. Yusuke gave me an order to rest until I feel up to training again but  I need to take it easy until my arm heals.” Sakura said.

“That’s good Sakura-chan.” Genma said.

“We have to get going now Genma-san. Lord Raikage would you and your companions come to my apartment. I have a few questions for you.” Sakura said.

“Of course brat. Let’s go. You boys are dismissed.” Ay said as Genma and Raido left via a body flicker.

Sakura lead the way to her house with Darui, Cee, Ay, and Killer Bee following her. They got to her apartment when Sakura noticed the Genin teams were there. Sakura sighed.

“Looks like it will have to wait until tomorrow to ask the questions I wanted to ask you.” Sakura said.

“Nah, we will stay here. A bunch of brats won’t stop me.” Ay said.

“Eh, ok Lord Raikage.” Sakura said as she shrugged and walked up to her door that had her friends surrounding it.

“Hey guys.” Sakura said. 

“Hello Sakura-chan.” The group replied except for Neji who was glaring at the Cloud Shinobi behind Sakura but that didn’t go unnoticed by Sakura.

“Neji-san please do not glare at my guests/saviors. They were the ones to rescue me.” Sakura said as she gave Neji a look. Neji just hmped.

“Can we go in Sakura-chan. My mom made you a basket.” Choji said.

“of course Choji-san. You will have to thank your mother for me.” Sakura said.

“I will. She was very upset that it happened to you.” Choji said.

“She is too kind. I am going to move on from this. I will not let anything bring me down anymore. I will get stronger and on my own terms.” Sakura said as she pumped up her uninjured arm.

Everyone cheered and laughed. Sakura opened her door and allowed her guests to enter her home.

“Wow Sakura-chan. This place is big. How many rooms is it?” Darui asked.

“It is 5 bedrooms and 4 ½ baths. Lord Hokage gave it to me after my parents died last year. He has been my rent or me until I get enough money to pay my own rent. I couldn’t be happier. I love this place.” Sakura said as she sat on one of the couches with Darui sitting next to her, which she kinda of blushed and that didn’t go unnoticed by Ino or any of the girls.

“So Sakura-chan, how does it feel to be out of the hospital?” Shikamaru asked.  

“So glad to be out of there. Being attacked was troublesome.” Sakura said mimicking Shikamaru who mocked glared at her. Everyone chuckled.

“So Cloud Shinobi, how did you come across Sakura-san being attacked.” Neji asked only to get slapped in the back of his head by Hinata and the other girls.

“Neji-nii-san/Neji!” They exclaimed. Neji grunted. Ay, Killer Bee, Cee, an Darui smirked at Neji’s misfortune.

“We were obviously walking down a path that was leading us to the Leaf Village when a cute little wolf pup came out of the woods from the shadows, Shikamaru perked up at the mention of the wolf pup coming out of the shadows of the woods, and was barking or growling at us, trying to get our attention. Us being humans didn’t understand the cute little wolf pup except for my brother, Killer Bee. He understood the wolf pup because he is a Jinchuriki. When bumped fists with the young wolf pup, he understood what the wolf pup wanted. He stood up and pulled his twin swords out and rushed into the woods where the wolf pup told him to go. We rushed behind him and were appalled by what we saw. To men stood over Sakura and one of the men as about to kill her when my right hand man, Darui, threw one of his Kunai knives at the attacker to stop him from killing Sakura. The other one wanted to fight but the one that was going to kill her stopped his buddy and they both disappeared. My left hand man, Cee, ran over to see what he could do which wasn’t much, so he recommended heading to village as fast as we could without injuring Sakura any farther. Darui carried her on his back. We brought her to the village and here we are today.” Ay said.

“I have a question for you Lord Raikage?” Shikamaru asked. Ay looked at him.

“What is it brat.” Ay said.  

“When you said a wolf pup came from the shadows of the woods, did you mean a Shadow Wolf.” Shikamaru asked. 

“You must mean my daughter, Nami, Ay.” Masahiro said as he came out of the shadows in  Sakura’s living room with his daughter, Nami. Everyone jumped except Sakura, Darui, Cee, Killer Bee, and Ay.

“Yes. I meant Nami.” Ay said.

“Hello Sakura-chan.” Nami said. 

“Hello Nami-chan.” Sakura said and the girl all cooed at Nami’s cuteness.

“Sakura, Master Takumi will be coming in two months to meet with you.” Masahiro said.

“Who is Master Takumi, Masahiro. If you don’t mind me asking.” Sakura said.

“He is the elder of the Shadow Wolf Clan. He in eager to meet with you and so is y wife and other fellow Shadow Wolves.” Masahiro said.

“That’s awesome.” Sakura said.

“We should get going Sakura, we still have to meet with our senseis.” Ino said. “We should a girls night in a couple weeks.”

“That sounds good. I could use it.” Sakura said. 

Sakura’s friends left but Darui, Cee, Killer Bee, Ay, Nami, and Masahiro stayed. 

“I will see you on another day Sakura. I leave Nami in your capable hands. Have a god evening.” Masahiro said as he left via the shadows.

“What did you want to ask me Sakura?” Ay asked.

“What is Cloud like?’ Sakura asked.

“Cloud is wonderful. Not full of trees like the Leaf is but we do have our special places. Like obviously, the Raikage Tower, the hospital, and etc.” Ay said.

“I will have to visit Cloud some day. I have always wanted to go to visit the other villages and learn more about them.” Sakura said as she yawned a bit.

“I hope my test results come back normal and there is nothing wrong with me.” Sakura said while the others nodded. 

“We should get going. You look tired Miss Sakura.” Killer Bee said.

“I am tired Killer Bee but that doesn’t mean I want you guys to leave. I want to cook dinner for us but with my arm being broken, I can’t do that. Some ramen sounds good right about now.” Sakura said.

“I can go get us some. Where is the Ramen shop?” Cee said.

“It’s a Ramen Stand an it is called “Ichiraku Ramen” That’s Naruto’s favorite place to go.” Sakura said as she kinda of had a thoughtful look on her face.

“Oh, what would you like then?” Cee asked.

“3 Miso Pork and 1 Chicken Ramen please.” Sakura said as Cee looked at her funny.

“Ok. I will be back in a half hour with our food. What would you like boss, Killer Bee and Darui?” Cee asked.

“I would like 2 large bowls of pork Ramen.” Ay said.

“I would like 2 large bowls vegetable Ramen.” Killer Bee said.

“I will have what Sakura is having except for 1 Miso Pork and 2 Chicken Ramen.” Darui said.

“Ok I will be right back.” Cee said.

“Wait Cee-san, do you want some money for my meal.” Sakura asked. Cee shook his head.

“No thanks, Sakura-san. I got this.” Cee said.

“Thank you Cee-san.” Sakura said as Cee walked out of Sakura’s apartment.

“We will probably be leaving tomorrow morning. We have to get back to the village so we can discuss the alliance we have with the Leaf Village now with the council and get approval from the Lightning Lord.” Ay said.

“Indeed, we might have to and we should hold a parade in both villages to celebrate the alliance.” Killer Bee said.

“That sounds like an excellent idea Lord Raikage.” Sakura said.

“Then it’s settled. After we get back to the village, I will arrange a meeting between our Daimyo and then send out word when we get his approval. I will send word to Hiruzen.” Ay said.

“That sounds great Lord Raikage.” Sakura said.

“Call me Ay, brat. Being Lord Raikage make me sound old and I’m not old.” Ay said.

“Call me Sakura then. Not brat.” Sakura said. Ay let out a loud laugh. Darui and Killer Bee joined in and Sakura huffed.

Cee came back with the food and raised his eyebrow. He was confused why everyone was laughing and Sakura was pouting.

“Ok? What did I miss now?” Cee asked.

“Nothing Cee-san.” Sakura said as Cee handed her food and then passed everyone else’s food to them.

Everyone ate in silence. Sakura kind of enjoyed the peace and quiet until she let out a loud burp and everyone looked at her.

“Excuse me.” Sakura squeaked out. Everyone just laughed. Sakura turned red.

After everyone was done with their dinner, Killer Bee cleaned up. 

“Thank you Killer Bee. I would have done it myself but I can’t.” Sakura said.

“It’s not a problem. Happy to help.” Killer Bee said.

Sakura tried to yawn quietly but she couldn’t because it was caught by Darui.

“Are you tires Sakura-chan?” Darui asked.

“I’m a exhausted to be honest but I didn’t want to be rude.” Sakura said.

“We were thinking of leaving anyways so you can rest.” Ay said “But it was after we all ate and before we leave, check to see if there is anyone else in the house.” 

Ay nodded to Cee who checked to see if anyone else was in the house with his sensory skills. Cee shook his head in a side ways position which means no there was nobody else but them in the house.

“That’s a negative boss. There is no one but us in Sakura’s house.” Cee said.

“Thank you Cee-san.” Sakura said.

“Not a problem Sakura-san.” Cee said.

“Well, we bid you a good night. Darui, you will stay here in case of another attack.” Ay said. Darui nodded his head.

“I bid you gentlemen a good night as well. I hope to see you in the morning for breakfast.” Sakura said. 

“Of course we will be here.” Killer Bee said.

“Goodbye Sakura.” Ay said as he, Cee, and Killer Bee walked out Sakura’s front door. 

About three houses away from Sakura’s house, someone was lurking in the shadows, watching Sakura and Sakura’s house with a sinister mile on his face.

Hey guys. Sorry for the wait. It took me awhileto get this chapter up. I apologize for that. There were many days that I couldn’t typeor think of hat to writ next. Ugh the struggle. I also have an announce ment to make. 

I will not be updating anytime soon. I work a full time job where I get no time for breaks half of the time and when I do get time to write, I don’t know what to write. 

I hope you guys can forgive me :-/. If you guys don’t forgive me, it’s no water under my bridge. 

~Love, Carolyn
