Prompt #1: She loved life and it loved her right back. Celebrate her passion.

No matter what grueling A-Rank mission Sakura had been summoned on, she always completed her duties as Konoha's top medic. She disregarded her own safety just to make sure her fallen teammate would eventually get back up on his feet.

So when Konoha's newly promoted Jounin ("Congratulations, Sakura!" Kakashi had drawled while clinking his beer glass with Sakura's tea glass) had been summoned by the Godaime Hokage to an A-Rank possibly S-Rank mission, Sakura tightened her hitai-ate, slipped on her worn-out gloves, and strapped on her medical pouch.

Making sure all of the lights were turned off, she locked her empty apartment. She then sped towards the gates of Konoha to meet up with a certain loud-mouth blond and her always late ex-sensei.

As always, Kakashi took his sweet time standing in a slouched position over the memorial stone. He reached out his fingerless gloved hand and traced the cool marble surface, tracing the name that would always be forever etched in the memorial stone. 'Uchiha Obito, the black sheep of the Uchiha Clan.'

Kakashi's lone visible eye flickered over to his other teammate's name, and behind his mask was a slight scowl. He had promised Obito, didn't he? And yet somehow he had managed to break the promise and lose Rin. And his sensei. Kami, his sensei. He didn't even know what had happened except the fact that Minato, or better known as the Yondaime Hokage – Konoha's Yellow Flash to enemies – had sacrificed his life for the village. A true hero, Kakashi had labeled.

Sighing, Kakashi ran a hand through his already messy silver hair and stuck his hand back into his pocket.

"I'm going on an A-Rank mission. Tsunade-sama also said it might possibly turn into an S-Rank if we run into Sasuke or the Akatsuki. I hope it gets bloody. Maybe I might end up with you, Rin, and Sensei if I'm lucky." With a reluctant sigh, Kakashi adds, "I'm already late. Sakura and Naruto are probably mad at me. Ja, Obito." In a puff of smoke and scattered green leaves, Kakashi disappeared.

"Yo! Sorry I'm late. Today a flock of ravens passed by me, and I thought it was Itachi so I was prepared to fi– "

"Liar!" Naruto and Sakura screamed at the same time. Kakashi smiled underneath his mask.

"My, my, Sakura. Your first mission as a Jounin. So how does it feel?" Kakashi asked as Team Kakashi walked past the bridge and out the Konoha gates.

"Well, it feels great to finally be Jounin and be appreciated by many others, so I love it!" She gave him a bright smile, her viridian eyes sparkling happily. She had turned out to be quite the beauty where almost every shinobi in Konoha chased after her, yet she was oblivious to it all.

"That's good to hear," he began while flashing her an eye-crinkling smile. "If you love life, it'll love you right back."

"You're right!" Sakura giggled, unconsciously scooting closer to the copy ninja. Kakashi's free hand that wasn't in his pocket brushed against Sakura's own soft skin.

And so he told Obito that today he wouldn't be careless on the mission, and vowed to protect his comrades, specifically a newly promoted pink-haired Jounin.

Hello beautiful people. (:
