--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Team 7 had left konoha and headed towards the sand village 3 hours ago. Their mission was to deliver a package from the Tsunade to Gaara the 5th Kazekage.

As usual, Naruto was complaining about the heat and wanted to eat, while sakura beat him over the head and yelled at him to quit complaining. Sasuke watched what was happening in front of him and silently smirked, and of course the famous copy nin Kakashi had his nose buried in a little orange book and his hand in his pocket.

"Kakashi sensei! It's too hot out here, can we stop for a while? I'm hungry" Naruto continued to whine. Their sensei ignored him and pretended not to notice sakura hit him for the millionth time.

"I'm sure he will learn eventually" Kakashi chuckled to himself. As they continued along the dirt road he heard something ahead of them in the trees and stopped, the others noticed him and stopped as well. The three genin watched as their sensei silently reached down to his weapons pouch and pulled out a kunai, they all followed suit and looked questioningly at their team leader as he slowly put a finger to his lips signalling for them to be quiet.

"What's going on? Has sensei noticed enemy ninja nearby?" Sakura thought to herself, when suddenly 20 or so shuriken were hurled out of the trees at them. Sasuke and Naruto saw them coming and ducked. Before Sakura could react, Kakashi launched at her, wrapping an arm around her waist he threw sakura to the ground, landing on top of her just in time to avoid the shuriken heading straight for them.

"Looks like we got company" Sasuke said as he and Naruto got into their fighting stances, kunai at the ready. Meanwhile, Sakura could feel a red tinge appear on her cheeks as she lay beneath her sensei, luckily he got off of her before he even noticed and helped her to her feet. They both joined Naruto and Sasuke in a fighting stance with their kunai, facing the direction the shuriken came from.

They stood. Waiting. They could feel the enemy's chakra approaching. Sakura could feel something warm dripping from her thigh, she looked down and saw a large cut from the middle of her thigh to the top of her knee. Naruto saw her look down and noticed the cut, he was about to ask if she was ok stopped when 5 sound ninja came at them from the tree's.

"Gah! Where'd they come from?" Naruto asked to no one in particular.

"I don't know, but I'd say they were here to steal the package for Orochimaru" replied kakashi.

"This'll be easy" Sasuke said with an air of arrogance and activated his sharingan.

Kakashi, Naruto and Sasuke attacked the sound ninja while Sakura stood back protecting the package.

She watched in admiration as her sensei took on three of the enemy ninja. He fought with grace and didn't miss a shot. Then she looked towards Sasuke and Naruto fighting the other two enemy ninja. She saw Naruto lose his footing and take a kunai to the arm, but he regained his balance and landed a kunai right in the sound ninja's jugular. Sasuke had no trouble with his opponent. In fact, it looked like he was merely toying with the ninja, he smirked the entire time.

They were almost done with the sound ninja when sakura noticed another chakra coming from behind her. She turned around suddenly and saw two more sound ninja towering above her. "What! How the hell didn't I notice their chakra before?" she yelled in her head as she grabbed a kunai and launched at the ninjas.

She went straight for the jugular of one, but as she was about to strike, he grabbed her wrist and twisted it up behind her back as he and the other ninja laughed. Kakashi and the others heard this and saw the two other two sound ninja pinning sakura down and searching her for the package. Sakura was trying her best to get the ninjas off but they were much too strong and she couldn't overpower them. Naruto, feeling his protectiveness of her coming through, went straight for the sound ninjas, followed by Sasuke. Kakashi quickly finished off the last of his three opponents and went to join Naruto and Sasuke.

"Get your filthy hands off her!" Naruto shouted, as he went for one of the enemy ninja. But before he could strike, the sound ninja that wasn't holding sakura disappeared and reappeared behind him and knocked him out. Sasuke jumped at the ninja that had just knocked Naruto out and threw three kunai at him, though only one of them hit its target, the ninja was distracted by it and Sasuke was able to stick a kunai between his eyes. As Sasuke watched his opponent fall to the floor, kakashi leaped over them both to attack the ninja that was trying to hold sakura still.

"Let go! Get off me!" sakura yelled as she tried everything to get the ninja off her, he moved his hand to cover her mouth but before he could, sakura sank her teeth deep into his hand and drew blood. As he shouted in pain and attempted to get his hand back, he didn't notice a certain silver haired copy nin coming at him with a handful of kunai. Expertly attacking so as to not hit sakura, kakashi slashed and stabbed at all unguarded body parts, finishing off with a kunai through the enemy's jugular.

"Sakura, are you alright?" Kakashi asked once he had removed his kunai from the sound ninja's neck.

"I-I'm fine" she replied timidly. She noticed kakashi's eye dart down to her leg and back up to her face, she looked down to see what he looked at and then she remembered about the cut on her leg from earlier. Kakashi was in front of her in one stride.

"What happened there?" he asked.

"I guess I caught it on a rock when you tackled me" she replied.

"Hmm, I'll get that bandaged up, sit down." Kakashi said as he reached into his pack. As he was rummaging through his pack, sakura noticed that it was getting dark and suggested that team 7 make camp first.

After they set up camp, Sasuke had set off to find more fire wood and Naruto had gone in search of a river to wash off in. Sakura had made herself comfortable against a tree and kakashi had appeared next to her with the first aid box.

"Sakura, I'm going to have to cut away your shorts, ok?" kakashi asked in a comforting voice.

"Umm ok" Sakura said nervously.

Kakashi got a kunai out and began to cut away her shorts. Being self conscious, sakura slowly started to bend her knee, in order to bring her leg in closer to her. Of course, the copy nin noticed this and in a flash he had one strong hand gripping her shin and another strong hand gripping her thigh just above the cut.

"Sakura, your leg needs to be straight. Now keep it out straight or I will have to tie it down" kakashi said, then glanced at her as he firmly pushed her leg down. Sakura went red as he did this and tried to disguise it by looking at the branches above her, kakashi chuckled at this which made her go even redder.

He managed to get her shorts off and cleaned the wound and sakura kept wincing, as he bandaged her leg his hand lingered a few seconds at her inner thigh, making her go red again.

"Thank you sensei" sakura said once he'd finished bandaging her leg.

"Anytime sakura. Hey where have the boys gotten to?" as if on cue, Naruto and Sasuke traipsed into the camp dripping wet, Naruto grinning like a Cheshire cat and Sasuke looking ready to kill while carrying damp firewood.

"Umm do I want to know?" kakashi asked with his visible eyebrow raised.

"Heheh" Naruto laughed sheepishly with a hand behind his head.

"The idiot pushed me into the river" Sasuke said moodily and sat by the fire.

"Hey sakura, your leg ok?" Naruto asked sitting down next to her and kakashi.

"Yes Naruto, my leg is fine now" sakura replied.

"Well I don't know about you guys, but I'm going to get some sleep" kakashi told them as he went over to his sleeping mat, next to sakura's.

Naruto and Sasuke did the same, as they too would need their energy for tomorrow's journey. Sakura too laid down on her mat, which was closer to kakashi's than she left it. She thought about it but she was too tired to bother about it so she let the darkness consume her.

Kakashi sat up on his mat, and saw that all three of his students were asleep. His eye looked over sakura's sleeping form and he thought to himself "wow, she's so cute and innocent when she's asleep. You would never guess she had anger issues" kakashi chuckled to himself. As he watched her sleep, he noticed that she was shivering slightly, he couldn't just let her lay there shivering. So he moved her mat close to his and laid down next to her, he put one arm behind his head and his other arm around sakura's waist. She soon stopped shivering and he inwardly smiled, but he was surprised when she snuggled into him. He knew she was still asleep because her pulse was slow and steady, but he was still confused as to what caused her to do it.

What she did next shocked him even more. She fidgeted a bit, snuggling further into him, and whispered sleepily "Ka...ka...shi". His eye widened a bit, he thought to himself "What the...is she dreaming about me? Why?" his confusion cleared as he let darkness consume him until morning.

"Hmm this is warm...wait, I was freezing earlier...and I don't remember sleeping against a brick wall" sakura thought to herself as she woke up, it was still dark.

She opened her eyes, they were a bit blurry but she could not mistake the rising and falling chest in front of her face. She looked down and saw an arm around her waist, her eyes followed the arm up to the shoulder and then up to the sleeping face of...Kakashi! "Omg! What's he doing?! Why is he so close?" sakura thought frantically to herself.

"Well at least it's not Naruto or Sasuke" she thought calmly.

"And you're not exactly uncomfortable" innersakura commented.

"But still! This is my sensei I'm snuggling with" she argued.

"Just remember, he started this, you're not doing anything" inner sakura retorted.

"But..."

"No buts. Enjoy it damn it, don't make me come out there!"

"Grrrr"

"Ooh come on, he's totally hot, you are loving this"

"Well maybe a little bit"

"Haha I win this argument" inner sakura gloated.

Kakashi stirred, fidgeted a bit, and was still again. Sakura was enjoying this, she snuggled further into her sensei, unconsciously he tightened his arm around her and she fell asleep again.
