Here's the first chapter of the one-shots I've been mentioning… sorta in Crimson. Check out my other stories plz… although they may not be complete, I do tend to update quickly lately. Prob. the fact that I have nothing to do all day… Well, onto the story :)

He was regarded as the town's own pervert but truly, he studied his books to be able to perform when the time comes. Sure, he's had other love affairs but those were completely random and there was nothing behind it.
He's always wanted to tell her that he's been watching, that he knows how to heal her, and that he loves her, but it's not right. She was his student and many times she's expressed that he's like a father figure in her life. Nothing more.
So he watched. He guided her like a good sensei should and never acted on his desire. That was until he saw her silently crying to herself after failing to heal a small child that had a run in with fire.
"Sakura," the copy nin comforted while squatting. "What ever happened in there, it was Kami's decision. She decides when it's time."
"That's not the point," she whispered. "Two days ago I helped that little girl with getting her kitten down from a tree and took her home. I may not have known her, but I did. She was a little ball of life and I couldn't save her."
"Sakura, I'm sorry. Come with me, I can help."
She slowly nodded her head and Kakashi took her hand and they walked down the street to his apartment.
---------------------------------
Kakashi turned the key and they both entered the neat and quaint room. Sakura sat on the couch and he headed towards the kitchen to make her some tea. After some time he brought out two hot steaming mugs with tea. Offering her one, the silver haired nin sat beside the pinkette.
His presence was enough to calm her down and the tea certainly helped. Silently they said all they needed to and Sakura was starting to see Kami's way.
"Kakashi," she started. All the work he didn't do to calm her was completely gone and tears started to well up in her eyes.
"What-What if I'm not able to save Naruto or-or YOU on a mission? How-How could I ::hiccup:: live with myself?"
"Shh. Shh. Shh." He whispered. Taking the sobbing woman into his arms, Kakashi started to hold his ex-student close. "You will succeed. And believe it or not but we're not about to just leave you. I promise I won't." It was his silent vow to himself. As long as his secret love was alive he'd protect her.
"Bu-but what if I can't?!"
"You will."
Sakura continued to cry and hiccup herself to sleep in her former mentor's arms and the pain started to wash away.
----------------------------
"Mmm."
Green puffy eyes slowly opened as they took in the surroundings. A strong but soft heater lay beneath her as she curled up further onto the unknown heat source. A few low grumbles made her eyes openly widely as she recognized her comfort as her ex-sensei.
Instantly Sakura tried to get off her former mentor, not because she didn't like him, but because it was not acceptable in society. Secretly the pinkette had a crush on him but Tsunade she made it clear that the whole "mentor and student" thing was completely forbidden while training with her.
In order to force those feelings down, Sakura would always comment on how much of a father he was to her. She never caught the glint of pain it would cause him when she said it, but it never occurred to her that he would think of her in that way.
Strong arms stayed in place as she tried to squirm herself out. Opening his eye from the constant movement, Kakashi quickly released his grasp on the young woman making her fall to the ground.
"OW!"
"Gomen. I thought you wouldn't want to be so close to your 'dad'."
"Che. Yeah… sure... dad… that's it," she mumbled out.
"Hmm? So you don't think of me in that way?"
"Huh? I mean. I only think of you in that way," she rehearsed like the many times before.
"Oh," he sounded slightly down. "Well, I should take you back to your apartment. We don't want Tsunade to lose a bet thinking we actually were together."
"What are you talking about?"
"You mean you don't see any of the bets written in by some of the Anbus?"
"No… I always stay out of her Anbu sealed scrolls. Last time I did that I had triple shift at the hospital with only soldier pills to eat." Sakura shivered remembering the incident.
"Well apparently there are silent bets with the Anbu squads, saying as they are placed throughout the town, on who will get together and what not."
"Baa-chan is betting on us!!!"
"Actually against us…"
"She kept telling me that my crush on you was forbidden and was wrong in the eyes of society! I was keeping quiet for nothing!"
"Well I guess it's not a secret anymore."
Now realizing what she just said, Sakura turned a very dark shade of pink and Kakashi smirked under his mask.
"So you like me."
"Eeto… yeah…"
"Hm. Well I guess there's only one action to take."
And before she should ask what, Kakashi had pulled his mask down and had pulled her on his lap.
"I don't like being taken advantage of! If you're just going to use me to get yourself off at night then you can-"
Kakashi muffled her rants with a deep kiss. He snaked one arm around the small of her back and the other to hold her head. Sakura broke the kiss for air. Kakashi chuckled when he saw her eyes slightly glazed and her cheeks pink.
Yeah, Tsunade may of lost, but she should've known better.

Okay, so that was the first chapter of my series of one-shots. They will remain only kisses and nothing more. Maybe hints of what happened after but seriously, just this is good for me. :)
Yeah… this one was short but they'll get better over time. :)… hopefully :P
The first person to Review and tell me the couple they want will get what they wish! As long as its different then a KakaSaku fic… I won't do two of the same pairings unless a fantastical idea comes to me :) This will be the rule throughout the whole series but the deadline is a week… cuz well… I plan on updating in weekly intervals. :)
Please Review!
