A Secret Cherry Blossom! Shhh! My Secret Comeback... To Konoha!

Kakashi insinuated Zak's father had killed her once as in stopping her heart from beating and stopping her from breathing. Is Kakashi really here for something personal, or did he came for Yeazakura? Will they be alone, or will there be a scene?

“How dare you say that?! I demand you take it back at once!” “What do you want me to take back? The sour truth? I just can’t believe how you’ve brainwashed-” “Sensei! Father!” Both men turned to the young girl’s yell. Kakashi was slightly surprised, but her father was furious, “Sakura-chan? Why-” “Why aren’t you home with your mother?! I told you to stay with her!” Sakura walked past her father ignoring him completely, “I’m not listening to you anymore father, I know the truth now!” she said with her eyes closed, as she tried to keep the tears of anger away she turned to her sensei. “Sensei, is it true that’s she’s back for good? That’s she alive and well?” Kakashi had no words for this as these were questions where no answers existed for. An older man stood in the hall, “Lady and gentlemen, why are you making such a fuss?” The Hokage had his hands in his pockets as he strolled towards the concerned company making a racket, “All of what you’ve heard is a miss understanding.” “What?! I’ve had 5 messengers at my door all telling me my daughter is alive and in Konoha!” The Hokage sighed, “Yarichin, it was all a misunderstanding. She has been sighted near Konoha, but no one is sure if she is even alive. That’s why we need the finest ANBU, Kakashi-san? Please come with me.” The speechless Kakashi proceeded after the Hokage but not before he looked over his shoulder towards Sakura, her eyes were uncertain of what was happening. He smiled as far as you could see and she nodded.

A silent tapping on the door distracted Zak from her mind breaking gaze outside the window, “Who is it?” She didn’t bother to even look over her shoulder as the door slid open, “It’s just me Yeazakura-chan.” “And me…” Her mind echoed, ‘That voice…’ quickly she turned around head first with her eyes shut slightly, she gulped as well as breathing heavily. When she was fully turned around she slowly opened her eyes, and saw… Nothing. The room was empty and the door closed. ‘Again, am I hallucinating? These are some heavy meds…’ she thought, and before even having the chance to think twice two maniacs jumped her and squealed, “Yeazakura-chan!!!” “We missed you sooooo much!” The duo hugged Zak and squeezed every bit of sense out of her. “Air…A-air!” Zak pointed weakly towards her throat, her lips were turning purple as she yelled with the last bit of breath she had, “KOTETSU! IZUMO! LET GO OF ME!”

The door of the office opened slowly, revealing a weakly lit desk and examining table. “Kakashi, I need you to take an ANBU team and go out of the village.” Kakashi choked, “But, why Hokage?” Kakashi feared the worst, like the fact she might actually be sighted outside the village, dead. “It’s just a distraction, she’s safe. But we need to convince the third party of otherwise.” Kakashi slowly began to understand as he strolled inside after the Hokage, the older man wiped the dust of the seat and table and said, “Do you remember the legendary sannin, Kakashi-kun?” the old man said as he pointed towards the seat and desk, the jounin slowly nodded and sat down on a chair across the desk. “this used to be the office of Tsunade-sama, although she hardly ever used it. I’m thinking about passing it over, giving it to another young experienced medical nin.” Kakashi glanced at him, “How does this concern me and Yeazakura?” the Hokage smiled as he sat in the big chair, “It concerns the both of you greatly…”

“I can’t believe you’re back! And that you’re breathing!” Kotetsu hugged the girl, she placed her hand on his arm but didn’t respond, Izumo felt the tension, “Zak, tell us what happened…Where were you?” Zak’s heart was throbbing in her throat as she recalled memories that weren’t there before, “Kei, who are you?” The men looked at each other and mouthed the word ‘Kei, what the hell?’

“So, you’re willing to do it? I understand if you don’t want to, it’s quite a difficult task but that’s why I chose you.” the Hokage awaited his answer but Kakashi avoided his gaze, if he were not to do this particular mission someone else would. And that would mean he would never get to see Zak again, and that’s the last thing he’d want. He stood up and looked the Hokage straight in the face, “I’ll do it!” with those words his stomach starting churning because before he would leave on his ‘mission’, he would get to see Yeazakura, one more time. The Hokage smiled bright as he saw in front of him, a flash of a young eager boy with the same hair and mask, and the same ambition. The little boy and the young man would do the same and everything to save a young girl’s life.

Kotetsu placed his hand on her forehead, “She doesn’t seem to have a fever, but there are two strange spots on each of her temples.” Izumo looked closer, “I’ve seen these before, she’s been under treatment for memory loss, probably suppressed by traumatic events.” “Well, they’re emerging right now. What do we do?” Kotetsu asked as he held her close, her lips murmured words, not relevant as a sentence, Izumo stood up and searched the room, “We have to record everything she says, it might come in handy.”

“Father,” Sakura almost whispered, “why are you so determined upon getting Yeazakura back?” She prepared herself for any kind of abuse, but not for this. “She’s my daughter… That’s why.” silence struck the young girl, she stopped in her tracks as she looked at her father. “But…I thought you hated, no, revolted Zak?! You always said you could never be proud of a girl like her. And that you always wanted a son first! You degraded and abused and, and!” between sobs she tried to continue speaking, “You killed her!” Those words struck him like lighting, “No! That was an accident! I never meant to hurt her like that…Please, forgive me?” he said as he placed his hand on his youngest daughters cheek. Sakura breathed heavily “Incident comes first, and it’s not me who’s going to forgive you! If she’s even alive, Yeazakura ‘might’ give you a second chance! If you do it right this time old man, maybe people will start to like you.”

“Another miso-ramen please! Make that a double!” the boy almost stood on his bar seat, the man smiled and nodded, “A double miso-ramen, coming right up!” A young man heard this cry for food and stepped inside, “Yoh! Naruto-kun, what happened at the first exam?!” the boy turned his head quickly, “Iruka-sensei! Damn I’m so happy to see you!” the boy jumped at the man as he hugged him, for he was his father-model. “Let me guess, you ordered out of your price range? I’ll treat you tonight on whatever you like!” “Sugoi! I’ve got so much to tell you about the exams and stuff… Like, did you know Sakura-chan has an older sister?!” the boy said. The tanned young man was speechless, his mind was in peace but his heart was raging.
