Ok so this is something I thought of while I was stuck in a whirlwind of terror and evil I.E. summer school. This is basically setting up for the fluff in the next chapter.

Disclaimer: I'm so proud, I actually remembered to put this in before posting yippee heh hem. In no way shape or form do I own or profit from any of the things, references, characters or ideas that you have seen or will see in any of my present, past or future fanfiction works, that you have seen in other places, or works of literature or anywhere in general. There I hope that covers it all.

o this means a thought " This means someone is talking even though you all know that I'm just making it clearer"


It starts NOW



She plummeted through the air along with several other boulders tufts of grass, and two other humans.

Well, this kinda sucks she thought as the air rushed past her face.


Kakashi looked down over the edge of the cliff that had just given way from under his students, and watched as Sakura

hurtled through the air.

"Hmm" He murmured as he mused over the possible courses of actions. He saw Naruto and Sasuke bobbing around

already in the water, and Sakura was injured and still falling, (this is a really high cliff people high enough to fall for

several minutes but not high enough to kill you when you land convenient, no?) therefore helping Sakura was the logical

choice...yes logic… riiight.

Kakashi sent chakra to his feet and then leapt of the cliff and down to Sakura in less than a second. He then grabbed her,

careful of her injured arm and rotated in the air so that she was on his stomach and his back was facing the water

below. He then curled the both of them into a ball, and let them fall.

He winced as water slapped his back and he plummeted under, the strong current pulling him a long. He had one arm

wrapped around Sakura's waist keeping her from floating away from him, but his other hand was flailing out next to him

and he felt it make contact with something soft. He glanced over and grabbed the unidentified softness with an iron grip.

He fought as he was swept along the bottom of the river bouncing on pebbles and sharp rocks that cut into his back.

Sakura was underwater, crushed against her pervert of a sensei, in pain due to the arm injured in the battle that had

caused the cliff to fall in the first place, and unable to breath. To top it all of she had been

having a good hair day, but that would all go down the drain once her hair dried in the puffball like shape it always did after getting wet.

Needless to say Sakura was PISSED

This is soooo not ok! Inner Sakura raged Water, you suck, I would kick you're ASS if you had one! And you

Kakashi sensei, you don't get to save me that's Sasuke's job! You better believe I will kick your ass too chya!

Inner Sakura ranted on, flames coming out of every opening on her body, even when she was finally above water,

due to some amazing chakra control on Kakashi's part. Both teacher and student gasped for the much-welcomed air.

Kakash still had his arm around Sakura's waist. They were both bent over Sakura with her hands on Kakashi's

quivering knees

(which were on either side of her body) for support. Sakura proceeded to vomit and cough and hack as her body

attempted to rid itself of all the lake water it had recently ingested, which was a lot.

Kakashi looked down at his nonoccupied hand and noticed a patch of blonde clutched in it. He then realized he was

holding Naruto's hair, and Naruto had a death grip on Sasuke who was pinned underneath him. Kakashi shrugged and

let go of Naruto's hair letting the little blonde land on the Uchiha with an audible "oof". He looked around taking stalk

of the situation and realized that something was odd.

"Hmmm" he mused

Is it just me or does this place seem wider? and why is it that the half of the woods to the left looks deeper than

the half on the left? aw crap

Kakashi realized he had lost his head band in the river and he wrinkled his nose in disgust at his lack of attention to this

rather large detail, but then notice that his nose was cold, that was odd his nose hadn't been cold since he had been a kis

and put on his first...

Double Crap

He glanced down at his neck and thus at a wad of black fabric that was clumped around its base. He looked at Sakura

hoping he could pull it up before she noticed it, but he had no such luck.

Sakura stared gasping for air and Inner Sakura was having a seizure and therefor too busy to say anything. Kakashi used

his free hand to pull the mask up and with a wink and an index finger to his lips he implored her to be quiet.

That brought inner Sakura back she sat up and screamed

Hell no I won't be quiet! Chya finally something I can hold over Naruto and Sasuke's heads OO RAH

Outer Sakura simply nodded

"Can you stand up?" Kakashi asked, starting to feel rather awkward about straddling his student with his arm bordering

sexual assault.

"Oh sure Kakashi Sensei" Sakura said.

"Good" Kakashi said as he removed his arm from around her letting her test her wobbly legs. Sakura looked over and

saw an unconscious Naruto sprawled across the back of a completely pissed Sasuke.

Suddenly her legs worked just fine.

"Naruto get off of him! Can't you see you're hurting poor Sasuke? If anyone gets to do that to him it's me!" Sakura

screamed as she shot away from Kakashi to kick Naruto.


Kakashi wiggled a pinky finger in his ear casually, then pulled a spare headband out of one of the many pockets on his

vest. He then proceeded to tie it on his forehead and slide one side down over the spinning red iris and pupil. He shook

his hair out much like one of his dogs, and with a practiced run of his hand through the silver bush atop his head, he put

it back into its characteristic flying style. He turned his back to the river to face the woods, then he pivoted back to the

river once again and almost screamed as he found Sakura's face so close it seemed twice the size it normally was. Her

middle and index fingers were jabbing into the hard muscle of his upper chest.

"Kakashi Sensei, what is wrong with you?" Sakura screeched as she took several steps toward the bewildered teacher

"You are SO irresponsible how could you just let Sasuke wash away like that? You were just going to let him drown!

What is wrong with you?" Sakura had Kakashi backed up against a tree and was standing on tip toes glaring into

his face. Kakashi had one hand out to ward her off and the other hand behind his neck. He was smiling and sweat

dropping.

Inner Sakura was ecstatic

Chya I told him ! Let's see what he says to that!

"You're right," Kakashi said in his silky voice.

Of course I'm right! I'm always right! OO Rah Inner Sakura bellowed in celebration

"Next time I'll save Sasuke and Naruto and let you drown." Kakashi purred.

bweh Inner Sakura sighed as she collapsed defeated on the ground.

"Oh yeah… well… fine, but you'd better be nice to me Kakashi Sensei I know your deepest darkest secret, and it would

be a shame if Naruto and Sasuke just happened to figure out what you're hiding under your mask hmph."

Feeling very accomplished Sakura stuck out her tongue with a "nyeh", stabbed Kakashi in the chest with her fingers one

more time (for good measure) and swiveled on her heel to march away with her nose in the air. Her dignified exit was

interupted by a

"WUMP" and an "OOF" as she turned to find her sensei flat out on the ground.

"OOOOOO" she squeaked "Maybe I shouldn't have poked him so hard." Sakura knelt to take Kakashi's pulse.

Well there it is. If I get at least a few reviews I'll continue it. In fact I'll probably continue it even if no one reviews it, which is an example of how pathetic my life is. I'm not sure I know where this is going but I do know that I'm not going to add more than two more chapters. I am very proud of you for suffering through this, and I will grovel before your oh so sexy shoes (or sox, or toes if you're not wearing shoes) if you review even if you hate it and want it to die please tell me pleeeease allright thanks for visiting.

Oh btw sorry for the awkward spacing, I'm hoping I'll eventually figure it out.
