Chapter 1: Name
"Oi, Sakura!" Naruto, a girl with long blonde hair tied in a pigtailed, waved to our main character, Sakura Haruno. Sakura wasn't our 'normal' teenage girl… she had a big problem. Even though she's the smartest one in class (and maybe even the whole school) she forgot how to like boys after her first love Uchiha Sasuke.
Sasuke was an arrogant bastard, so is stated by Naruto, Sakura's best friend. Since they met Sasuke, Naruto has been desperately trying her best to protect Sakura from his evil clutches, that one time, Sakura had even slapped her. A lot of girls (and some boys) have fallen for the dark haired Uchiha, but Naruto was not the kind of girl to succumb to darkness. Unfortunately for Sakura, Sasuke moved away 3 years ago, and that's when Sakura had her "illness".
"Oi! Did you know!! Akiyama-sensei has gone to pregnancy leave!! That means we'll have a new teacher! I heard he's a guy and a pretty good-looking one too!…" Naruto kept babbling on. Apparently they were attending an all girls' school. Most students along the corridor were already noisy at fussing over the news, however, the Sakura who had lost the instinct of liking the male species, wasn't interested at all…
"Yeah, yeah… Naruto, I'll see you tomorrow…" And Sakura went back home, alone, even though she could have gone with Naruto, who lives in the same neighborhood. Sakura shivered, almost regretting that she didn't bring Naruto along. It was extremely cold since snow has been falling for a few days now…
She hanged her coat and went quickly up to her room after saying hi to her mom. Being an only child, it was kind of an obligation to take care of her parents, specially now that her dad was away working abroad. Deciding that she was going to study, she sat on her study table, accidentally peering out the window, to the empty house next door.
"Okay, thank you for the help…"
Sakura's ears perked up… the "empty house" wasn't empty anymore. She thought that she should welcome her new neighbor, so, instead of going the usual way(which is the door) she climbed out of her window and out to a tree at her neighbor's house.
"Ooopsie…" She said as she hoisted herself up a branch. Sakura was a bit mischievous and she paid for it…
"DAAAISYYY!!!" She screamed as the poor little branch broke. She landed surprisingly on her white haired neighbor. Good thing he caught her on time… but still, the snow was too thick and they fell down.
Sakura gasped as she felt the warmth of the white haired man below her. She looked down, accidentally meeting his mysterious black eyes. She quickly got up and dusted herself. Blushing, she hadn't felt that much embarrassment in a while.
"A-ano, sorry… I'm Haruno Sakura, your next door neighbor, nice to meet you…" She said as she held out her hand to him. He took it, saying "Hatake Kakashi, yoroshiku…" and he stood up. Without a word, his tall dark figure started to retreat.
Something seemed odd about Sakura. As if a switch somewhere in her body flicked, and she had a warm fuzzy feeling inside. No… she didn't want him to go…
"Would you like to come over for dinner?" was the best she could do. She didn't know why she said that… she just acted… on instinct. 'Perhaps I like him' she thought to herself. However, thinking back, she actually forgot what it was like to 'like' someone… since the day Sasuke was gone…
"Are you okay? You look all flustered…" Kakashi said to his new friend. 'That's right' Sakura said to herself as dizziness took over her. She wasn't as athletic as Naruto and she went out to the freezing cold without wearing any gear. It was inevitable… though, the last thing she remembered was the darkness of space… in his eyes.
"Black!" Sakura almost screamed. Looking around, she realized that she was back in her room. Maybe it was a dream, "Besides, that guy was dreamy enough…" she thought out loud. She stood up, looking at the stars from her window. 'So it's night-time huh…'
Smelling something good coming from downstairs, she immediately went her way towards the kitchen. 'Mom's cooking something different I guess… Wha-wait, did I just call that guy dreamy?...' She asked herself; lost in her own thoughts. She forgot how to 'like' men after all, so in truth, she didn't really know what she was feeling.
"Hmm, a dream… but I… I guess I want to see him again." She said out loud as she entered the kitchen. "That's great mom, what are you…" She looked at the cook to see the same darkness that pierced her earlier. 'So… it wasn't a dream!!'
"Dreaming of your boyfriend, ne… Sakura-chan?" Kakashi heard what Sakura was saying and smiled at her as he cooked their dinner. "Your mom's gonna be out for a while… She was going to buy you some medicine so she told me to eat ahead… with you, if that's okay…." He said in a carefree tone.
"Ah… no, I mean, it's okay to dine with you, Hatake-san." She said as she amazed at how he cooked their meal. Even so, thoughts flocked her mind. Why did her mother let this 'stranger' so easily into their home? Besides that, the two of them were all alone, and now he's cooking! 'What if he put poison in there!! And…'
"Just call me Kakashi, ne, Sakura-chan." Kakashi said with a slight cheery tone. He was amused at something that Sakura didn't know… 'No way! Maybe my thoughts reflect on my face! But, all my classmates said they didn't… Oh but maybe…!!' Her thoughts were once again interrupted by the so called stranger.
"Ne, Sakura-chan, can you hand me that plate over there" He said, putting out his hand. A smirk evident on his smooth face… probably he did put poison in the food!?
Anyway, dinner was ready and Sakura was just sitting there, not touching her food. Kakshi was already digging in though…
"Ne, Sakura-chan…" Kakashi said after gulping down some water, disturbing Sakura's thought that composed of 'Poisoned food…'. "Did you know…" Sakura looked at him in horror. Maybe he really was a psycho killer…
"I'm your new homeroom class teacher"
"EH!!??" Sakura stood up, which didn't surprise Kakashi much. 'So he's the new teacher!' Sakura thought, not believing a word that Kakashi said.
"Ne, Sakura-chan, you're 2-D right? Well, your Homeroom, Mrs. Akiyama, had her pregnancy leave, so at the span of her leave, I'll be her substitute." He said before shoving a spoonful of his 'creation' in his mouth. Everything fit in place, the new neighbor and the new teacher... but Sakura didn't belong… or so she thought.
"Sensei…" Sakura asked, finally having the courage to eat Kakashi's work. "I told you to call me Kakashi, Sakura-chan." He said without looking at her. "Anou… I just wanted to ask… Why do you always say 'ne, Sakura-chan'?" Sakura calmly said.
"It's because..."
"I like saying your name."
