What The...

Sakura headed to the Hokage's office. She needed to ask about the arrival of some new medical equipment.

Opening the door, she spoke, "Hey, Shishou I-"

Two people turned to look at her. Tsunade and a very handsome man. Sakura then noticed the familiar grey hair and outfit, the mask around his neck... Kakashi Hatake had pulled down his mask.

She gaped at him. Her jaw must have hit the floor. For several moments she gawked at him in complete shock. When she realised this, she cleared her throat and turned around to leave, almost walking into the door on the way out.

Tsunade and Kakashi watched as the door shut, before it opened again and Sakura walked back in.

She was just as shocked the second time. This wasn't some really good dream... Her team leader was sat there without his mask! She was speechless, excited and really annoyed she hadn't seen his perfectly structured face sooner. She had not known what she was missing for all the years he kept it hidden.

"What?" She managed to say.

"We were just sharing some wine," the Sannin said with a grin. "We do so every now and again."

Sakura was so jealous! Seeing Kakashi with no mask once a month or so... Would make her month. This may have just made her year. She couldn't wait until she told Naruto! She wouldn't be able to describe it.

"Sakura?" Tsunade smiled, amusement in her tone as she asked, "Was there something you wanted?"

"Medic," Sakura mumbled.

"You want a medic?" Tsunade questioned.

She might just need one, yes.

Sakura blushed and shook her head. "Equipment... When was the medical equipment arriving?"

"Tomorrow, I'd like you to sort that out when it gets here."

Sakura nodded.

"...Anything else?" The Hokage smiled.

"No," Sakura replied, not leaving regardless.

"You're dismissed."

"Can I join you?" Sakura pleaded.

"Maybe next time." Tsunade smirked.

Sakura looked sourly disappointed, but before she left, she smiled at her teacher. "Kakashi?"

"Yes?" Kakashi smiled back.

Sakura grinned. That just made her year.

When her apprentice left the room, Tsunade smirked. "Remember when I bet that Sakura would be the first to see you without your mask?"

Kakashi nodded.

"I bet she will be the next one to see you without your mask again." Tsunade laughed.

Sakura was going to seize every opportunity she got to see Kakashi without his mask. She was going to tell Naruto and Ino and Sai and everybody else she came across who might be of some use to get him to remove it again. She grinned to herself.

However, when she returned later and found no Kakashi, she pouted, she was severely disappointed.

"You're not going to make that face every time you come in and Kakashi isn't here right?" Tsunade smirked.

"Maybe." Sakura continued to pout. "Why were you drinking together anyway?"

"As I said, it's a little tradition we do every once in a while," Tsunade answered simply.

"And he always takes his mask off?"

"Yes," the Sannin smirked. "It's disrespectful not to in front of the Hokage, don't you think?"

Sakura smiled at her mentor. "That respect should extend to the Hokage's apprentice, don't you think?"

Tsunade laughed.

Sakura continued to smile, waiting for an answer.

"No."

Sakura pouted.

Author Notes:

This is very similar to my "Oh My" story. I was even lazy and used a very similar cover for it. Once again, it's all just for a bit of fun :).

Thanks for reading!
