She had become accustomed to it.

The waiting period for her team leader to show up, with a terrible excuse and an eye blink for a smile.

'Well, he can just take his time,' Sakura thought passively. She sat on top of the gate, a large medical tomb in her hands, fresh reading material from her Master.

There was a sound of leaves and a, "Yo!" behind her. Kakashi stood with his winking smile, looking down at her.

"Ready?" he asked.

"Ready," she answered.

"New book?"

"It passes the time."

"Ah."

No excuses were said, to which she was grateful.

I decided I wanted to do a drabble inbetween my chapter work for my story 'Repairing the Damage', since I'm on hold for a bit, having trouble contacting my beta.

A friend suggested Sakura/Kakashi because it's a challenge, and we both love the couple!

I'm totally open to drabble suggestions, give as many as you please!
