It's a bit short but it's only the first chapter. I rated this story T just to be safe. This story is also a work in progress.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or it's character's just merely borrowing them for my story.

"Phew, another long day at the hospital." Sakura sighed as she wiped her forehead and preceded to clock out and head home. The hospital had been increasingly busy the past week due to all the rouge ninja lurking around Konoha.

Rumor had it that most of the rouge ninja were actually from the Sound village and that they were looking to ambush Konoha in the hopes of knocking out most of it defenses. Luckily enough the ninja that were sent out weren't as highly skilled as the ninja of the leaf. Most of the ninja had been taken out and the leaf had suffered quite a bit but were still victorious. The remaining Sound ninja admitted defeat and fled back.

Now that the mini war/battle is over those who were not injured or atleast not badly injured were expected to clean up whatever mess had been made. "Busy day Sakura?" "Sensei, what are you doing here? shouldn't you be at home resting?" Sakura gasped as she was caught off guard, but upon hearing who talking to her from the other side of the road she quickly turned a glare on said person as she walked over to him. It was Kakashi who was standing there, one hand in his pants pocket while the other was holding open one of his infamous books. "Maa, i'm just going for a little walk. No harm to any of the injuries I have attained during the battle." Kakashi explained having held up his hands in mock surrender in the middle of his explanation.

"uh huh." Sakura said raising an eyebrow in suspicion, not quite believing that as being the whole truth. Having had the man as her sensei, comrade, and friend for years she has learned to sorta read between the lines. So she stood there, arms crossed over her hospital uniformed chest as she shifted from one foot to the other and fixed Kakashi with a look that clearly said ' I know you better than that now spill it '.

After a good minute or two of the stare down Kakashi finally sighed and began to explain his true motives behind his "little walk". "Alright fine. The real reason i'm not at home resting is because Iruka is being his mother hen self, being that Naruto and I were both injured and I was hoping to run into you. I need to ask you a favor." During his little confession Kakashi's demeanor had slouched from it's original relaxed state.

Sakura had watched her sensei through his explanation. Her stance changed to a more relaxed one and a small smile formed on her lips at hearing Iruka-sensei being a "mother hen". It was a well known fact that Iruka was basically a father figure to Naruto even if they are only ten years apart. So anything involving Naruto was immediatley sent to Iruka, which caused a whole slew of parental emotions to erupt from the man. It was also a well known fact that both her sensei's were in a very commited relationship thus the "mother hen" attitude towards Kakashi as well.

"Ok, so what is this 'favor' you wanted to ask me?" Sakura asked. Hands on her hips with a slight smirk on her lips. She had a high feeling she was gonna enjoy this. "Hmm yes well, you see Yamato's birthday is in two weeks and well he hasn't celebrated his birthday in the twenty-six years he's been alive. Which by the way don't tell him I told you. He doesn't know that I know he never celebrates his birthday. Anyway back to what I was saying before. I need you to find out what it is he has been wanting. I plan to throw a surprise party for him but I need to know what to get him and I can't ask him myself because he'll get suspicious of my motives. So can you please use your manipulating woman powers and find out what he's been wanting?" Kakashi the great copy-ninja of the leaf who rarely gets embarrassed had just embarrassingly admitted to needing help with something as mediocre as a birthday present. But what's done is done, he explained his favor and now he just has to wait for her answer.

Sakura just stood there stunned. The pink haired kunoichi in the six years she has known her sensei, couldn't recall a time she had seen him embarrassed. She quickly recovered not wanting to make it more uncomfortable for the man. So she plastered on a huge smile and answered her sensei, completely ignoring the "manipulating woman power" part.

"Of course I'll help! Yamato-Taichou is as much a part of our team as the rest of us. Twenty-six years without a birthday party is way too long! We have to make sure his twenty-seventh birthday is the best ever! So who are you inviting and is there anything else I can do to help out?" She asked , hands clasped and emerald eyes wide with excitement.

"Hmm well i'm not quite sure. Actually I haven't even discussed anything with Iruka yet. How about we meet up in say two days at Ichiraku's and discuss the plans then?" The silver haired jounin shrugged nonchalantly looking boredly at the pinkette. "Yeah sure. Sounds good. See you then." Sakura said as she turned to head home thinking of how she would get the information required of her.
