Sakura hums quietly while looking over his medical records. Kakashi finds his uncovered eye drawn irresistibly to the messy bun piled atop of her head, obviously done in a hurry. Her hair, once a vibrant shade of bubblegum, is now a pale floral color. Messy tendrils escape the red ribbon tied in her hair and frame her face. All in all, she is still the same endearing Sakura she was before.

Kakashi stands and, smiling, brushes a thick strand out of her eyes.

"You still wear a ribbon?" he asks teasingly.

She grimaces, reaching for his hitai-ai. "I'm going to have to take a look at that eye of yours, Hatake-san." He is surprised into complacency, and behaves himself while she pokes around.

After a particularly careless prod to check for inflammation of the eyelid, Sakura smiles glibly. "You still wear that mask?"
