Some info first:

#1 This is my first fanfic so I would love to get any critiques or tips

#2 The story will switch between Kakashi's and Sakura's point of view, so be ready (I ship them so hard!)

#3 This storyline/plot actually came to me in a dream (weird right)

#4 So the story will start with the present but in order to make the present make sense, I have to add flashbacks. So you will read pieces of the present that will piece together in the end.

#5 I just hope you enjoy my story and I will try to update as fast as I can so, enjoy!

I do not own ANYTHING!

The Cherry Savior

************************************************** **Chapter 1************************************************* ***

All I saw was a huge flash of green light that lasted for roughly 5 minutes. I watched as a small body hit the ground. My heart stopped as I saw the pink strands escape the tied up cloth. All I could think... Well I couldn't think but when my haze finally cleared the only thought that came into my head was... She's dead... And for the first time, I wanted to be dead too...

My eyes slowly crept open to the sound of banging and my name being called...

Knock! Knock! Knock!

"Kakashi-sensei! You better not be sleeping! I'm gonna break down your door. "

"Ah what a lovely way to wake up."

My spoken thought was interrupted by a bang and the sound of cracking wood. Damn. Not again.

"Kakashi-sensei you're late! You were supposed to meet us for training three hours ago!"

Before I could even make an excuse, a pink bundle popped in behind my door. This is the 5th time this week that she has broken my door. Granted I have been later than usual, she's always the one out of the group that gets sent to wake me up.

"You know you can get older if you sleep all day, Kaka-sensei."

"You sound so peaceful for some one who just broke down a door, Sakura. And will you stop calling me sensei. You became a jounin a year ago; I am no longer your sensei. You're 22, I feel old enough. My name is just Kakashi now."

"Well Just Kakashi-sensei, I will call you what I want and you are old, 35, sleeping all day, not healthy. Anyway what will your excuse be for Naruto today? Another puppy in need of rescue." (glances at clock) "More like 50 puppies."

"Hedge hog, very dangerous situation. So how mad are they?"

"Sai is edging with furry."

"Well they did make you come all this way so wanna make them mad?" (Her eyebrow arched) "There is a bowl of ramen with yours and my name on it?"

"Well it was a long way to your apartment... Ok!"

"Do you think they've gone home yet?"

"Probably."

Ever since Sakura became a jounin, they had gotten a lot closer. He often came to her instead of the hospital (because of his very strong hate of hospitals, which Sakura still didn't understand) and because of the Copy Ninja's track record and his high class missions, he was always at her door step bleeding out of somewhere. They had grown very close over the years and these sudden dinner outings were a usual thing. They always tried to eat together at least 3 times a week. It gave Sakura a way to check on Kakashi and Kakashi a social evening, usually well needed. If you asked them, they would both say they enjoy each others company.

"Here." (he tossed a key next to her ramen bowl)

"What's this?"

"A key to my apartment, so you don't have to break down my door every morning."

"I wouldn't have to break down your door if you weren't always late. But thank you."

She took the shiny key and hooked it on her key ring and then shoved it back in her pocket as she did she stood up and leaned over to Kakashi. Inches away from his ear she breathed out and said very quietly.

"Thanks for dinner sweetie."

Shivers ran down his spine and he held his breath as she kissed his cheek and vanished in a puff of smoke. After a few seconds he let out his breath and glanced over at the check on the table.

"Damn that girl."

My breath staggered as I kept repeating the same words in my head. Get up! Get up! Get up! I fell to my knees when my wish wasn't granted. All I wanted to do was run to her, pick her up and hold her in my arms. But there was a problem. I was still in the fort staring at her from a small window. The fort itself was surrounded by debris and ruble from the earlier fight. I could barely see her from the small window and the crowded battle field. When she didn't move after the 6th minute, I ran out the door and started diving and ducking and jumping over debris to get to her. The more I ran the farther away she seemed...

Kakashi: You broke down my door.

Sakura: Well according to the text you didn't give me much choice.

Writer: Hey no fighting kitties.

'Sakura: Were not fighting just talking with more exaggeration.

Kakashi: By the way why are we centered?

Writer: Cause I like it centered and I thought I would distinguish this dialogue from the story.

Sakura: Make sense.

Writer: Your gonna hate the next chapter.

Sakura/Kakashi: Why?

Writer: Just read and you'll find out.
