"Hmm… beautiful sunrises always put me in a good mood," Sakura thought lazily, holding a cup of tea. "And I can see it so much better here, rather than my parents house. I'm glad I decided to move out after all." Her thoughts were then interrupted by abrupt knocking on her door. She wondered who would be here so early. Putting her tea on the table, she went to go answer the door. The impatient knocking started again, but she managed to open the door before it stopped.

"Oh, Kakashi-sensei." She greeted the man at her door.

"Sakura, I thought I told you to stop calling me that, I'm no longer your sensei." He grinned, or at least she thought so. It was hard to tell with that mask.

"Sorry." Sakura motioned for him to come in. He nodded his thanks and stepped in. "Would you like some tea, Kakashi-sen-" He glared at her, though not angrily. Or so she hoped. "Kakashi."

"I'd love some, thanks." He closed his visible eye and sat on the couch. Sakura disappeared into the kitchen. When she returned, Kakashi was reading one of his Icha Icha books. She sighed. Go figure.

"You know those are just porn, right?" She asked, setting down his tea on the coffee table.

"Hmm? Yeah, why?" She sighed again.

"You're hopeless, Sensei. Oops," she giggled, "I mean Kakashi."

He grunted, but put down his book. She suddenly realized he'd have to take off his mask to drink his tea. She imagined all the times her, Naruto, and Sasuke tried to get him to remove it, to no avail. He obviously saw that she was waiting for him to do that. He smirked, picked up the tea, and drank it through the mask. Sakura's mouth fell open. "Kakashi!" He laughed. "You're a dick!"

He just raised his eyebrow. "Am I?"

She laughed. "So, is there a reason you stopped by? Or do you really like my tea that much?" He stood up.

"Tsunade wants us in her office. But we still have time anyways." She raised her eyebrows.

"Oh really? Says the guys who shows up late for everything. What time did she want us there, exactly?" Kakashi checked his watch.

"Oh."

"What do you mean, oh?"

"We may want to leave now." Sakura sighed. He chuckled. "Better late then never."

Tsunade sighed. She glanced over the two shinobi. "You're late." She murmured.

"Sorry, Hokage-sama." Sakura apologized, but Kakashi just read his book. Not that she was surprised.

"Anyways. I have an A-ranked mission for the two of you." Tsunade stated.

"Just us? Don't shinobi usually do missions in groups of threes or fours?" Sakura asked.

"Well, you are both jonin, and very capable jonin at that. You should be fine. Here are the details." Kakashi shut his book and put it away. She handed him a few papers, but continued explaining anyways. "Reports have been coming in from a small village in the Land of Fire reporting many people gone missing. I want Kakashi and you to work undercover to see what's going on." Sakura gulped. She'd never done undercover work before. But judging from Kakashi's relaxed stance she assumed he had. "We think a rogue ninja by the name of Daichi is behind it." Sakura nodded. "You will leave tomorrow at six." The Hokage concluded.

"Mmkay." Kakashi mumbled. Sakura shot him a look, but he didn't notice. Tsunade then shooed them away, claiming she had work to do.

"What do you think our cover is going to be?" Sakura asked once they were outside.

"I don't know, really. But I think we could make up something tomorrow. I've been tired all day, so I'm gonna go nap." Sakura laughed.

"Ok. See you at the gates at five."

"Mmkay. Wait, didn't she say six?"

"Nope. She said five." Kakashi didn't look convinced.

"Alright. Five, then." He started to walk towards his house.

Sakura chuckled. Maybe, just maybe, he might just show up on time now.

Mmmmh um hi ^^'
