WARNING: SOME LIME. ALSO, THIS IS THE STORY BEFORE MY OTHER STORY "TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE" READ IT!!

Before Time Ran Out

Chapter 1 : Introduction

Today was a normal day, just like any other in Konoha. The birds were chirping, Hinata was stuttering.

Yes, today was as normal as it was going to get. At least, for Haruno Sakura that is. She sighed as she made her way home. She had an all nighter with Kakashi, but hey, she finally learned how to summon Chidori.

Opening her door she sat down on her couch, her head laid back on the cushions of her couch.

For a couple of minutes she sat there, resting, that is until she felt weight push down on the other side of the couch.

She opened her eyes to see none other that her faithful sensei with book in hand sitting lazily beside her. She raised and eyebrow at him, and waited until he finally closed his book and said, " You know, its rude to stare at people."

If possible, her eyebrow rose even further, " so, what are you doing here?" she asked completely ignoring what he had said.

" Oh, me? Nothing, really, I had nothing to do so I came to see my favorite kunoichi under my training. That's all"

" Kakashi-sensei, I am the only kunoichi under your training"

" More the reason to call you my favorite."

She sighed the man was so cryptic he could make a genius like Shikamaru confused. She looked at the time, 10:35, damn she didn't have a thing to do today, all of her friends were out on missions or with their families and she was left here, with her sensei and nothing to do.

" So," she began, " do you want me to make some breakfast?" she asked.

He looked up at her as she stood, the corner of his eye crinkling as he smiled, " sure, I'll help you."

The two of them made their way into her very small kitchen as Sakura began to make some eggs.

He looked at her as she got everything ready and, noticed how her brow creased as she concentrated, how cute she looked to him, but he quickly shook his head dismissing the thought and got some bread out to make toast.

With their backs to one another Sakura asked, " so are you doing anything today?"

He turned his head slightly and replied, " Nope, my day is free, I might take a nap later though."

She smiled as she continued with her work.

Kakashi looked over to his 18, soon to be 19 students and smiled as she turned off the light in the kitchen. He was sitting on her couch and silently reading his ever so favorite book, Icha-Icha Paradise.

He was so into reading his book that he didn't notice her sit down beside him. He was immediately shocked when he felt Sakura lean beside him, her head resting on his shoulder.

He saw her yawn and smiled softly at her childlike innocence that even through her hard life was still able to keep. He wrapped his arm around her shoulders, put away his book and held her close to himself.

Times like these made him happy to be alive. (OKAY JUST SO YOU ALL KNOW, IN MY STORY KAKASHI IS ONLY, ONLY 10 YEARS OLDER THAT SAKURA!)

She cuddled closer to him, inhaling his scent and sighing in contentment. She looked up at him, asking him a silent question without words and waited as he nodded before moving to sit on his lap.

He put his hands reluctantly, on her waist. She smiled to him resting her hands on his chest and kissed him on the cheek, before resting her head on he chest. Her head just above his heart, the sounds of his heart beating sending her into a soft sleep.

He sighed; the two of them had gotten a lot closer over the past couple of months, more intimate with one another. No, the two of them had never had sex, and they were nothing more than close friends, but the both of them knew that there was something lingering between them.

He picked her up and brought her to her bedroom. He pulled back her red covers, and gently laid her down hopeful not to wake her. But, alas, lady luck was not with him as she woke up from her sleep and looked into his eyes.

"Where, YAWN, you going?" she asked groggily.

He smiled his hands still on her waist, " just putting you to bed. I don't think you would like me to watch you sleep, or would you?" he asked in a teasing manner.

She blushed and looked away muttering curses before asking, " so, umm, since you aren't doing anything, would you like to sleep with me?" she asked innocently.

Although, Kakashi being the pervert that he is thought she meant sleeping with each other, and not just sleeping. So, alas the pervert jumped in the air and yelled, " WHAT?"

Sakura giggled and said, " no, not sleeping, sleeping, just you know, sleeping beside one another silly!"

He sighed with relief, shook his head to clear the naughty thought of his inner perv and smiled to her, "I would, but, I don't think its safe to be around you, ya' know, I could get raped." He teased.

Again, the flower blushed and mumbled curses towards the perv before lying down on her bed and pulling the covers to her chin.

He chuckled at her antics and took off his jounnin vest, shirt and pants leaving him in a black wife beater, and a pair of black boxers before getting into bed with her.

She smiled to him and put her hands on his face, cupping it and asked softly, " May I?"

He smiled and nodded, letting her pull his mask off of his face and throwing it behind her. She smiled at him and kissed him softly on the lips, whispering, " you mean so much to me, Kakashi-Kun."

With than he kissed her back, letting he lips linger on hers longer, before gently pressing his tongue to her lips, a silent way of asking permission. Reluctantly, she allowed him to enter her mouth, his tongue gently massaging hers as he got on top of her.

The two of them continued to passionately kiss one another as Kakashi took off her top leaving her only in her sports bra. He pulled away to look down at her, flushed cheeks, bruised lips, and her chest heaving up and down with every breath she took.

He leaned down and gently kissed her again, this time his left hand cupped her breast. She moaned into his mouth as she ran her hands through his hair.

He pulled off her bra, leaving her bare before him, he looked into her lust filled eyes and sighed. He moved off of her and sat up. She too, sat up and looked at him with questioning eyes.

" I, I think we should wait before we go any further. I am still your teacher." He said to her.

She too, sighed and pulled the blanket to cover her chest and said, " Okay, then we will just sleep beside one another. Right?"

He smiled and nodded. The two of them lay beside one another before Sakura pulled his hand and put it around her waist and snuggled her back into his chest.

" I don't know how I feel right now, but, what I know is that I want to be with you." She whispered before falling into a peaceful slumber.

He sighed, kissed her neck and said, " But, do you know how you feel for Sasuke?" before he too, fell into a peaceful sleep.
