Ari: *out of breath* Now *gasp* the new *gasp* story!

Chapter One Welcome Back

Sweat trickled off her creamy skin. She was breathing hard as she threw a kunai at her target. Pink hair waved with the wind. Emerald eyes stared intensely at their targets.

Haruno Sakura, ANBU Captain, Chief Med-nin, and Konoha's sweetheart was practicing diligently in team 7's old practice grounds. Kunai after kunai hit their target precisely.

With her sharpened senses, she detected a foreign chakra signature from behind her. A kunai swept past the unknown figures head. She looked closely to see an ANBU mask. She visibly relaxed and saw how the ANBU stiffly walked up to her. "Hokage-sama wished to speak with you immediately." Sakura gave a long exasperated sigh. "I'll be there in a second." She said while turning on her heel to gather her forgotten kunai. She turned back to see the ANBU ninja gone. She shrugged and with a couple of hand signs, she disappeared in a whirl of cherry blossoms.

At Hokage Tower

Tsunade was reading through documents when a gust of wind appeared. Tsunade didn't even look up. All she did was give her fourth sigh in a span of thirty minutes. "Sakura, don't give me that look." She then lifted her amber eyes to look at the girl, no, young woman in front of her. Her short pink locks of hair were messy, probably from her training. Her clothing was slightly disheveled and she looked as if she didn't want to be there. "Sakura, I am not calling you in here for another shift at the hospital so calm down." Tsunade saw her relax a little and watched as her apprentice smiled brightly, that same smile that brought men to their knees. She knew how much she hated hospital duty, but that wasn't her reason for being there. "I have heard news that Kakashi was seen near the village. He is coming back from his mission." Sakura's smile couldn't have gotten any bigger. She clasped her hands together, "This is great! It's been so long, too long! I haven't seen him in two and a half years!" She beamed brightly. Tsunade's face soften as she looked at her apprentice. She then frowned, "Sakura, that's not all. He brought Sasuke back." She felt bad as she saw Sakura's shoulders slump and her smile falter a little. Sakura's emerald eyes pierced daggers at the ground. "Sakura?" Tsunade questioned her. Swiftly, she shot her head up and smiled again. "I am just happy Kakashi is finally back!" Tsunade sat back in her chair and looked in her drawer to grab some sake. She poured two glasses, silently offering Sakura some. She gladly accepted as they downed their sake.

Meanwhile (Kakashi's Point of View)

I walked alongside Sasuke as I saw the gates of Konoha approach. I glanced my lone eye in his direction. He looked as indifferent as ever. I looked forward again and thought about all the people I would see. I knew that Genma would probably drag me to a bar and Gai would probably try to challenge me at whatever popped up. I would never admit it, but I missed my irritating friends. Sasuke spoke up for the first time in hours. "Do you think they will want to see me?" I sighed at his gloomy aura. "I would think so, especially a very ramen loving blonde." Sasuke starred at his feet. "That's it, just that dobe. *sigh* It's better than nothing." He said. I wonder how Naruto turned out. Almost three years and I haven't seen him. He was likely practicing as hard as ever. He still had a dream to fulfill (Hokage). The gates were even closer and I was actually feeling nervous. I had no idea why either.

I pulled out my little orange companion (icha icha) and began to read. We had reached the gates when I heard Sasuke's breathing hitch. I glanced at him and saw a slight blush. I looked up and widen my eyes when I saw a young woman's creamy leg glisten in the shine of the sun. Toned abs could be seen through the slightly damp shirt that clung to the body of a goddess. I had to take a double take. I finally saw the face that beholds the body. I was surprised to see the pink hair and emerald eyes looking at me. Wait, pink hair? Pink Hair! "Sakura?" I whispered so quietly that I could barely hear myself. I lost the ability to speak. Was that my student? I watched as she smiled brightly, all while running towards us. "Kakashi!" She exclaimed as her arms wrapped around me. "I missed you so much! Naru-kun is probably on his way down here to see you!" She then let go of me. I was still silent, trying to take in the new Sakura. She then looked at Sasuke. "Nice to see you finally returned Sasuke." She said, but not as happy. I watched him flinch at the absence of –Kun. "Sakura." He said. Then a blur of orange zoomed toward us. "KAKASHI-SENSIE! TEME!" Naruto appeared and was smiling his biggest and brightest smile. He crushed Sasuke in a hug then aimed his next hug attack at me. I finally regained my speech and smiled. "Sakura, Naruto, you guys have grown. How old are you guys again? 17, 18?" I asked. Sakura was first to speak. "18, duh." Sasuke looked a little out of place when Naruto faced him and punched him in the gut. "That's what you get Teme for making us worry!" Sasuke, although angry, calmed down. "Oh! I have a great idea! Lets all go out for ramen, like how team 7 used to?" He asked. "I'm in Naru-kun, but you still owe me for last time. I never spend as much money on anything as your eating habits." She giggled out. Naruto blushed and looked at me. "I guess I can't really turn you down." I said. Then we all looked at Sasuke. "Don't I have to see Tsunade?" I pat his back. "I think we can get something to eat before that, it won't be to long." I spoke up. He nodded hesitantly. "All right!" Naruto yelled. He turned around so quickly as he headed to his favorite ramen shop. "Come on Kakashi. We don't want Naru-kun eating all the ramen before we get there." Sakura then grabbed my gloved hand and pulled me along. I felt myself blush. What was I, a teenage boy again? She was my student after all. I looked back to see Sasuke following closely behind.

Ichikaru's Ramen Shop (Sasuke's Point of View)

We had finally made it to the ramen shop when Sakura let go of Kakashi's hand. I was still pretty pissed that she wasn't so happy to see me. What happened to the Sakura who adored me? I know I called her annoying, but what was I suppose to do? I had other things I wanted to do before getting a girlfriend. I had to get my revenge.

Everyone sat down and I was sitting next to Naruto, who was sitting next to Sakura, who was sitting next to Kakashi. "Four bowls of ramen please!" Naruto announced. As we waited for our ramen, Naruto chatted with me and Kakashi. Sakura listened in. but didn't say much.

Our ramen was finally done and everyone dug in. "So Sakura, how is jonin status going for you?" Kakashi asked. She didn't get a chance to say anything when Naruto spoke up. "She is not jonin anymore. Sakura is an ANBU captain!" He shouted with pride. I was shocked, and as far as I could tell, so was Kakashi. "You're an ANBU captain?" He asked. She laughed and slapped his shoulder playfully. "Is it that hard to believe?" She asked. 'Yes' I thought to myself. "Well, well, seems that I have a new favorite." Kakashi's visible eye creased. "Awww, Come on Kakashi-sensei. I am jonin now." Naruto said hopefully. Kakashi gave a slight laugh and slouched as he ate some more.

We were almost done eating when Sakura looked like she was going to freak out. "Oh no, what time is it?" She asked us. I shrugged and so did the rest of the old team 7. "You guys are hopeless. Excuse me, do you know what time it is?" She asked to a random guy. He pointed at himself and she nodded. He rubbed the back of his head blushing. "It's 7:30." He said. She got up from her seat and smiled to the man. "I gotta go guys. I have a shift at the hospital. Thank you sir." She said and hugged him. He looked like he was ready to pass out. She then disappeared in a cloud of cherry blossoms. "Man, she always has to leave nowadays. She is always busy," Naruto pouted. "Well I am sorry to say this, but it is about time me and Sasuke went to see the Hokage." He stated while standing up. "Come on Sasuke." I got up and followed, leaving behind a depressed looking Naruto.

Hokage Tower

Sasuke fidgeted under the intense gaze of Tsunade. Kakashi leaned against the wall waiting for Tsunade to make up her mind. "You do know that you betrayed the village, and that can't go unpunished?" She asked. Sasuke nodded and shifted his weight onto his other leg. Tsunade sighed and downed another cup of sake. "No mission for one year, No leaving the village until trusted and you will be watched all the time by ANBU nin. Got it?" She more stated rather than questioned. "Yes, Hokage-sama." He said with a bow. "Dismissed." Kakashi and Sasuke then walked out of her office. "That wasn't so bad." Kakashi said while Sasuke grunted. Tsunade then appeared in front of them. "Sorry Kakashi, I forgot. You and Sasuke have to get checked at the hospital. Just standard procedure." She said then was gone, probably back in her office. Kakashi and Sasuke simultaneously sighed. "I take that back. That's wasn't so good after all." They then made their way towards the hospital.

Hospital (Sakura's Point of View)

I looked at my chart of patients and grunted.

Why do I have so many patients?

Because we are awesome that's why!

You again? Ugh,

Don't be like that. Besides, you should be more than happy to see Kakashi back. Man, he is one tasty piece of ninja. *Drools*

Kakashi is my ex-sensei, no matter how *cough* good he looks.

I'm your inner, I know what you want. I know you want a sweaty Kakashi on top of you grunting in passion while he ...

Oh stop it you pervert.

You mean we are perverts. *laughs*

I walked into a wall not paying attention and rubbed my forehead. Then I heard the intercom come on. "Doctor Haruno, you are needed at the front desk." Great, more patients. I walked to the front desk and she gave me a slip of paper. It read, room 243 Uchiha Sasuke, room 244 Hatake Kakashi. You got to be kidding me. I thanked the lady at the front desk and headed to my first new patient, Uchiha Sasuke.

I stared at the number 243 on the door in front of me. I took a deep breath and walked in. Sasuke was sitting on the plastic covered table with a look of indifference on his face. He looked up at me shocked for a half a second. "You're my Doctor?" He asked. "I suppose so. Looks like you need a regular physical. Take off your shirt." I said. He took off his shirt with ease. "…now the pants." I said with no emotion. He then blushed and took them off. "Step on this scale please." He did so, and followed all of my orders like a puppy, not saying a word.

The exam was almost over. All I had to do was ask him a couple of questions. "Have you been sick in the last month?" "No." "Are you subject to any type of disease?" "No." "Do you have any allergies?" "No." "Are you sexually active?" He paused and blushed a deep red. He hesitated then looked at the wall opposite of me. Why was he making this difficult? "Sasuke, are you sexually active?" He then answered a quick, "No." I sighed and closed his chart. "Everything seems to be in order, any questions?" He finally turned towards me. "No." Ugh, why was he being difficult? "Nothing at all, not even about the sharingan that you cherish so much?" I said. He scoffed and crossed his arms. "Like you could do anything about it." I then turned red in anger. "You shouldn't underestimate me." He then unfolded his arms. "Fine, I am seeing a little blurry, can you fix it?" He asked like he already knew the answer. "Probably." He scoffed again as I walked up to him. My hands glowed with chakra over his eyes. He closed them instantly and I searched through his eyes. "Nothing I can't fix. Just some swollen things here and there, now, don't move while I do this, or talk for that matter." I said while I worked my magic. He stiffened and I ignored it.

I finished the last of the repair. I stepped back and watched as he opened his eyes. "Don't use your sharingan for at least a month. I don't want all of that hard work going to waste. You can go now, but please put some clothes on first." I joked. He blushed crimson red and grabbed his clothes. He stopped for a second and turned towards me. "Thank you, Sakura." I smiled at him for the first time. "Your welcome."

He finished dressing and left without another word. I shrugged and walked to the next room labeled 244, where Kakashi was hopefully still waiting. I walked in and he straightened up. He looked bored stiff at me. "Finally," He said with a fake exasperated sigh. "I was beginning to wonder if my poor doctor died on me." He chuckled as well as I did. "Sorry Kakashi I have been swamped lately." I said with a shrug. "Sakura, when did you start calling me Kakashi?" I sat there wondering for a bit. I wasn't sure when I did. "Sorry, do you want me to call you Kakashi-sensei, or Kakashi-kun?" I asked and he waved a hand in the air, as if he was dismissing the thought. "Actually, I was wondering when you could teach Naruto that?" I giggled. "Naru-kun can be a little thickheaded. Now take off your clothes." He looked shocked, "Oh no Sakura, not until you take me out to dinner." I blushed and laughed. "Kakashi, just take it off and step on the scale." He did so as I ogled at his chiseled chest. I mentally slapped myself and forced myself to look at my chart.

Afterwards, I gave him the same mandatory questions I gave Sasuke. "Have you been sick in the last month?" "No, unless you mean sick as in … yes." I gave Kakashi a look. He put his hands up in defense. "What? I was just telling the truth." I continued with my questions. "Are you subject to any type of disease?" "Nope." He said happily. "Do you have any allergies?" "If you consider Gai as an allergy, then yes." I rolled my eyes and continued. "Are you sexually active?" He looked at me intently. "Is that a request?" My mouth dropped open. "Hatake Kakashi!" I shouted. He laughed huskily and smiled. "Sorry, I couldn't resist. You should have seen your face!" He said with another laugh. "Real funny, now answer the question." I said dryly. "In how long?" He asked seriously. I blushed and swallowed the lump in my throat. "6 months." He scratched his chin. "Nope." He finally said. "I need some sake. What is with my patients today? Now any questions concerning the sharingan?" He tilted his head. "It has been a little slow, why, can you fix it?" He asked with a hint of hope. "Let me see to find out." He then proceeded to move his hair out of the way of his eye. I walked up and had green chakra emitting from my hand. I placed it over his eye. "… Interesting…" I felt and saw his fingers move restlessly. I stepped back and he looked at me intently. "So..." He asked. "I can fix it, just tell me this, did you use your Mangekyo Sharingan recently? Preferably, more than twice?" He tilted his head. "Yes, how did you know?" I giggled at his face, although, all I could see were his eyes. "Well, the swelling is really bad, worse than Sasuke's and it also looks like something in that eye of yours tore." I said pointing at his eye. "I guess I can fix it now, but you won't be able to use it for a month, can you live with that?" He nodded and I got to work repairing it.

I was finally done, and utterly exhausted. He opened his eye and smiled. "Already feels better. Thank you Doctor Haruno." He joked. I played along and grabbed a sucker. "Here's some candy for being such a good patient." I smiled and he shook his head. "I believe that the wonderful Doctor deserves it." I shrugged. "Suit yourself." I unwrapped the sucker and stuck it in my mouth. I sucked on it thoughtfully then turned around to write on the chart. "Looks like you are good to go." I turned back around. He was looking at the ground. "Something wrong?" I asked. "Uh, no." He said. I pulled the sucker out with a pop. He flinched and I frowned at it. "You sure?" He nodded and stood up with a stretch. "Well, I think I will sleep in tomorrow. What about you?" He asked. I laughed. "I don't know about that. I haven't been able to sleep well lately." I said. I saw the questioning look he gave me. "Well, Naru-kun snores." His eye widened. "You and Naruto?" I couldn't help the loud laugh that escaped me. "Lord, no! *giggle* He has been staying over lately because he complains his house has no food. He ends up eating there, that he just stays the night." He still looked a little concerned. "What about your parents?" It was my turn to look at him curiously. "Kakashi, they died a long time ago. Remember, Orochimaru's first attack on the village?" He looked guilty. "Sorry Sakura, I guess I forgot." I then rubbed my chin thoughtfully. "I don't think I told you?" He looked hurt. "I didn't want anyone to worry. We had bigger problems." I reassured him. "Well I gotta go, my shift ended a while ago, and I'm not getting paid overtime." He laughed huskily at me and it made me shiver. "Alright, See you later Sakura." With that he disappeared. That man … you gotta love him.

Streets of Konoha (Kakashi's Point of View)

I walked down the dimly lit streets thinking about how much my students have changed. Naruto was a jonin level ninja, and Sakura, an ANBU captain and top med-nin. I liked our little banter we had going on in the hospital. I usually hated the hospital. Then again, she made it all uncomfortable with that sucker thing she was doing. I wasn't sure that getting an erection from my ex-student was a wise thing. Watching her suck that sucker between her cherry red lips almost killed me. She looked so innocent when she did it. Almost like she didn't know it was killing me. I shouldn't think to hard about it. I just need sleep, and probably a cold shower.

I continued walking until my apartment came into view. I sighed and was relieved that my bed was only a few yards away. I got to the door and shuffled for my keys in my pocket. I had finally found them and put them in the key-hole. It was already unlocked and I just stood there thinking. I shoved my keys in my pocket while simultaneously pulling put a kunai. I walked in and did a chakra search. I felt a familiar presence and walked towards it. On my couch, was a sleeping Genma. "Genma, wake up." I hissed out. He sat up quickly and looked shocked. He squinted his eyes in the dark and had the look of relief pass over him. "Oh, it's just you." He smiled and stretched. "It's just me? Why are you in my apartment?" He laughed and cracked his neck. "It's good to see you to. Anyway, I came here earlier. I heard you got back and was going to go out with my old drinking buddy. Little did I know, he would only yell at me." He pouted. I was still angry and folded my arms, kunai still in hand. "I'm tired and I just got back, I went to the hospital and all I want to do is sleep." I stated with a bored tone. "One drink and I will let you go." I scoffed and put the kunai away. "Why would I do that?" He smirked, meaning he had a plan. "I will tell Gai that you are here and he will do the rest." I hated that smirk. I wanted to wipe it right off. "Fine..." I said beaten. His smirk changed to a smile and he pulled me out of my house. "Great!"

We had been walking to the usual watering hole while he made small talk. I wasn't really in the mood and wanted to sleep or even shower. I was sure I smelled as terrible as I looked, but that wouldn't stop Genma. Heaven forbid he doesn't get a drink in his system. ( XD )

We made it inside and took a seat on a bar stool. "Just like old times." He said in a reminiscing tone. "Yeah, except I actually came on my own free will… sometimes." He grabbed at his heart in fake agony. "That hurt Kakashi. Right here." I couldn't help but laugh at his ridiculousness. "So, what's new around here?" I asked while he ordered two drinks. "Well, a lot. Hmmm, Gai has a girlfriend, but I don't think she is all there. I mean who would be with that guy. Oh, and Kurenai is with Asuma finally (he is alive in this)." I nodded thoughtfully, but was still a little creeped out that Gai had a girlfriend. Kurenai and Asuma weren't as shocking. Probably because I had always seen them getting together and now they finally did. "What about you, still chasing girls to young for you?" I asked with a hint of humor. He looked dazed as he thought about it. "Well, there is this one girl I met after a mission in stone. I was wounded pretty badly and, well, she nursed me back to health. Literally. She is funny, sexy, young, smart, and strong. Only problem is, she turned me down." He still in a dazed state said while sipping his sake. "Does this girl have a name?" I asked, curious to know if I knew her. He smiled, "A name that just matches her. Sakura." He said with glazed eyes. I almost spit all of my sake out on him. "Sakura Haruno?" This was unbelievable. She just kept popping up in the last six hours. "Yes, why?" I wiped the sake of my chin and wasn't sure what to say. "Well, for one thing, she is my ex-student." I said as if I had a right to do so. "Seriously?" He said, a little freaked out. Then his face turned into a wicked grin. "Does that mean you two are close?" That wicked smile never vanishing. "I don't know? I saw her today. Well, she was the first I saw today, but that isn't the point. Why do you like her again?" I could see why, but I just had to make sure. "Like I told you before, she has got it all. Not only that, but she is the most wanted nin in Konoha. What's not to like?" He said as if it were the most common thing in the world. It was a lot to take in. She, most wanted? What was going on in Konoha? I mean, she was beautiful when I left, but she was 15. You can't think of a 15 year old that way. Right? I must have looked like a weirdo because the next thing I knew was Genma's hand waving in my face. "Sorry, did you say something?" He shook his head and poked me in the chest. "Don't tell me you are getting defensive? Maybe, because you like the cherry blossom?" I winced at his pet name and shook my head 'no'. He laughed slightly while going for another sip of sake. "Well, if I were you, I wouldn't mind taking her off the market." He smirked and I felt dizzy. "Genma… she is my ex-student." He chuckled with a dangerous glint in his eye. "So? I think it's kinda kinky. Man, we would be playing teacher all day, if you understand what I mean?" To say I was shocked was an understatement, I was horrified. How could he think that way? He had some serious problems. I cleared my throat and set my sake down. "End of discussion. I had my drink and now I am free to go, right?" I gave him a warning look and he turned back to his drink and sulkily nodded. I stood up and said my good bye's and left. God, I knew what I would be dreaming about tonight. Stupid Genma.
