I know Halloween's past but I came up with an idea on Halloween so here it is. And a late HAPPY BIRTHDAY! to Anko! Woo!


Surprise Me

Kakashi and Sakura are in for a surprise this Halloween...


Chapter 1 - HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANKO-CHAN

Sakura felt like she could sleep for days, but she knew it wasn't the case.

She knew that after such a long party, lasting over 36 hours of many events, such as dancing, acts, drinking, gifts, more drinking, throwing up in the corner and more dancing, a good night's worth of rest was all she needed so she could resume training with Team Kakashi tomorrow in the early hours of the morning.

Sakura rolled over, closing her eyes and pulling the blankets over her, ignoring the fact she had just over an hour and a half to sleep.

Kakashi-Sensei sure was strange at the party. He just seemed to talk to Jiraiya for a while and then disappeared. He came so late and then left about an hour later, Sakura thought as she began to dream, I wonder if something was wrong. It was Anko's 30th birthday party. And tomorrow is Halloween. If only I knew what was going on in his head...

B-b-beep. B-b-beep. B-b-beep. B-b-beep. B-b-beep. B-b-beep. B-b-

Sakura hit her alarm clock.

"Already? I swear it's still only 4am," She grumbled, her short pink hair in a mess and her pajamas completely screwed up around her body. She sat up, rubbing her emerald eyes as the focused on the dark room. Her hands felt for the drawstring of her curtains and opened them, the sun rising over the Hokage mountain, meaning it was about 5:30am to 6am.

She yawned, stretching her arms above her head.

"Maybe Kakashi-Sensei won't be late this morning," She thought aloud as she got up and gathered a towel and fresh clothing for the day. A smirk spread across her face at the thought. "Yeah right..."


Kakashi couldn't remember how long he had been standing there. It probably would have helped if he knew what the time was.

He came to the memorial stone every morning at the exact same time, but each day he would stay a little longer. Just staring at the memorial stone constantly.

"Ohayo, Kakashi-sempai," Yugao Uzuki said as she came to Kakashi's side.

"Ohayo, Yugao-chan. Are you here to see Hayate again?" Kakashi asked, the brown haired woman coming to his side. It was strange. Generally, people waited until the sun was risen or as it set to come see the memorial, but Yugao came at dawn. Kakashi lost track of when he actually did get there, but there were usually a few hours before dawn where he'd stand in the dark.

"It's been 6 years. It doesn't feel like it at all," Yugao said, holding her ANBU mask in one hand at her side.

"No. It doesn't," Kakashi replied, noticing tears start to swell in the young ANBU's eyes.

"If only that didn't happen. If Orochimaru didn't convince the Kazekage to side with him, a lot of lives would be saved and so much trouble wouldn't have happened," Yugao sighed, a tear falling down her soft cheek.

"I've thought that many times, Yugao-chan. But every time I do, I know that if it didn't happen, something worse probably would have," Kakashi explained.

"I guess you're right," Yugao sighed as a few more tears streamed down her face. Kakashi gently wiped them away. He knew what it was like to loose someone. He had had more than his fair share.

"You don't need to cry, Yugao-chan," Kakashi tried to smile but failed. She gently leaned on him and he wrapped a thoughtful and warming arm around her.

"Why, Kakashi? Why do they have to die like this?" Yugao asked. Kakashi thought about it for a moment. There was silence for a long time before Yugao looked at Kakashi. "Kakashi?"

"I don't know..."


OMG! Kakashi DOESN'T KNOW SOMETHING!

This won't be continued if I don't get reviews. :P

You know what to do!!
