Kakashi leaned in and began kissing down her neck. Sakura moaned and held him close never wanting to let him go.

They'd finally gotten the consent of the village to be together, and they couldn't be happier.

Kakashi picked up the woman and carried her over to their bed before dropping her on it and crawling on top of her.

"K...kakashi..."

Smirking, said man ran a hand down her thigh and brought it up around his hip. She was sexy as hell and there was no way he was ever giving her up.

"Kakashi?"

Ignoring her, he continued his ministrations, hoping she'd stop talking.

"Kakashi!"

He quickly sat upright, eyes wide and sweating. "W-what?"

He heard a giggle coming from his right and looked to see Sakura laughing at his reaction.

He finally realized that it was all a dream and frowned. Damn...

Seeing this, Sakura thought it was because she had woken him up. "Oh stop pouting. I called you three times. It's not my fault you didn't get up."

Kakashi rolled his eyes. Yeah...I heard you call my name...For a totally different reason...

Looking at his clock, he saw that it was 6:30 and his jaw dropped before mumbling, "Oh hell no..."

Sakura watched as he laid back down and brought the covers up over his head, trying to go back to sleep. "Oh no you don't!"

She quickly straddled the form under the blankets and began tugging at the covers. "C'mon Hatake! It's Christmas! Get up already!"

As early as it was, Kakashi got one of his devious ideas and popped his head out from under the sheets. "I'll get up under one condition."

Sakura gave him a confused look before she was suddenly grabbed and flipped so that she was pinned beneath the man.

Her confusion turned into shock and embarrassment as he looked down at her with that sexy smirk of his.

Sakura gulped. "U-um...well, what's the condition?"

Kakashi leaned down to whisper huskily in her ear, "I want a Christmas kiss..."

Realizing that he was just being a horny bastard, Sakura rolled her eyes and attempted to push him off of her, but couldn't seeing as her wrists were being held to the bed, and her waist was being straddled.

Shoot...

Sighing, she glared at her former sensei. "Get. Off."

He smiled at her and shook his head. And seeing as he still didn't have his mask, it simply made her blush deepen.

She gave a defeated sigh. How is it he always got his way...? "Fine. Just get off of me."

Eager to get his Christmas wish, he got off the girl and sat in front of her, waiting.

"Close your eyes."

Nodding, he close his eyes and waited a few seconds before he felt a pair of soft lips press gently against his...cheek?

When he felt this, he opened his eyes and stared at the girl in confusion. Sakura pulled back and giggled. "You never said where you wanted the kiss."

He was about to grab her and steal a proper kiss, but he wasn't fast enough as she jumped off the bed and ran out of the room giggling.

Kakashi was left alone, sitting on his bed, kissless. He could still hear her giggling from down the hall and couldn't help but smile.

Christmas. He never celebrated it. He practically detested it. So how was it that she could make him so happy on that particular day? How was it she could make him so happy any particular day?

He already knew the answer to that...

Shaking his head, he stood and stalked after the girl's laughter. He found her making eggs in the kitchen. Sitting down at the island counter, he asked, "So why are we up at 6:30 again?"

She continued cooking as she replied, "Well first of all, your clock is 18 minutes slow. It's actually 6:48. No wonder you're always late... And second of all, we're leaving at 7 o'clock to make our rounds. The sooner we start, the sooner we can finish."

Kakashi stared at her back as she began filling two plates with scrambled eggs and two glasses full of orange juice. He jumped when he heard a loud noise come from another side of the kitchen. Looking over, he realized it was his toaster. I put my life on the line dayly for my country, I've taught a demon container, and I've battled s-class missing ninja. So why am I still afraid of when the toast pops out of the toaster? (AN: If you leave a review, let me know if you're just like that. I know I am. xD)

After the two finished eating, they went to get dressed for the day and left to start the rounds.

They first went to Sakura's home to pick up the gifts before visiting Kurenai's house, where her team and team seven were spending Christmas. Not to mention baby Sarutobi Ami.

(In case you all are curious, this is what was given. Kiba- Two jumbo packs of beef jerky. Akamaru- A huge-ass bone. Hinata- An expensive lavendar-scented perfume. Shino- A book on caring for different types of insects. Ami- A baby doll. Kurenai- An elegant diamond bracelet. Shikamaru- A marble shogi board. Chouji- A pack of kettle-cooked potato chips. Ino- A new, cute purple skirt and top she'd been begging for.)

The two stayed and chatted for a few minutes with the two teams before departing towards the Hyuuga compound, where Gai's team were staying.

When they got there, Sakura was immediately glomped and hugged to death by Lee, making Kakashi somewhat angry. But he was broken out of his jealousy when Gai came up to him and challenged him to a snow-man making contest. Knowing he would never let him live it down if he didn't accept, he began the competition, using a jutsu he copied from an old enemy he faced on a mission once. As much as he wanted to make it a regular old snowman and have it over with, he used his chakra to mold as many details as possible to make it look like one of his old teammates. Sakura.

Once he was done, he looked over at his rival to see him attempting to make a ball for the bottom portion. Clearing his throat, he watched in amusement as Gai's jaw dropped at his "snowman".

He hung his head low in defeat and sulked back into the house, leaving Kakashi to watch the teens socialize about upcoming events. He caught a few details about a party that night and how the rookie nine were invited. It was apparently being held at TenTen's house at 7.

He already knew what Sakura's answer was gonig to be so he simply tuned them out the rest of the time, and leaned against a nearby tree, trying to replenish the wasted chakra. He couldn't stop staring between his former student and the sculpture. They both looked beautiful, but he felt that even though they looked alike, nothing could compare to the real thing.

After waiting for ten minutes, he watched as they said their goodbyes and as Sakura kissed Lee on the cheek for the gift he had given her.

Wait...WHAT?

Kakashi's yes widened to the size of saucers when he saw this. She just kissed him! Yes, it was just on the cheek, but none-the-less, she kissed him! He had to make a deal and then struggle with her all morning to finally get one, yet she freely planted one on that bushy-browed kid just for giving her a small gift! What the hell?

When she reached the tree he was standing at, Sakura saw his shocked expression and realized that he was both appalled and slightly upset. Getting confused, she asked, "Kakashi? Are you alright?"

Kakashi shook his head and said, "Yeah. Peachy. Listen, why don't you finish up your rounds. I think I'm gonna go to the memorial stone."

Sakura's eyes brightened as she replied excitedly, "Let me go with you!"

He simply turned his back to her and began walking away while answering coldly, "No. I'd rather be alone right now."

She was hurt by this as she called back to him, "Well then I'll just come by later when I'm done."

Kakashi stopped in his tracks and turned to glare back at her while saying, "Don't even bother." before continuing on his journey to visit his long-gone teammates.

Unknown to him, a single teardrop fell down Sakura's face at his coldness. He had never treated her like that. He'd never even been mad a her before. Why was he acting like this now? Was it because she hadn't given him his gift yet?

Quickly wiping the tear away, she decided to visit him like she had said anyways. She'd get to the bottom of his childish attitude later. But for now, it was Christmas. She had other friends to visit. She still had Iruka, Tsunade, Naruto, Sasuke, and Shizune. Naruto was still probably in bed, and Sasuke was probably somewhere in the village, sulking. So she started with her three sempai's first.


What the hell was that? He acted like such an idiot! He couldn't believe how cold he had just sounded and how hurtful his words must have been. What was wrong with him?

Sighing, Kakashi continued his journey to the memorial stone to visit Rin and Obito. He wasn't surprised to find a large pile of snow laying on the top of it when he got there.

After brushing the frozen water off, he read over the two names he had come to see.

"Alright you two. I need your advise. I just acted like a jealous teenage boy that just had his girlfriend stolen away by another. And now I feel really quilty and want to make it up to her, but I don't know how. I mean, I'm still pretty upset that she just kissed this guy, but I don't know whether to just shake it off or ignore her the rest of the day."

Suddenly, a pile of snow from a nearby tree branch, fell and covered the jounin. Sighing, he continued, "I guess that was supposed to knock some sense into me huh?"

He shook most of the snow from his hair and began patting down his clothes. Maybe he was acting childish. He stayed at the memorial for another ten minutes before he felt something cold touch his nose. Crossing his eye, he saw that it was a small snowflake. He then got the feeling that it was some sort of sign, but then he realized how stupid tht sounded and turne to leave. But once he turned, he stopped in his tracks when he noticed a feminine figure a few yards away.

He could already tell who it was, with the bubble-gum pink hair and the obvious chakra signature.

He stood there as he watched the figure walk towards him. Once she was right in front of him, they simply stared at each other until Kakashi realized what she was probably waiting for. An apology.

Sighing, he closed his eye and said, "Sakura...Please don't be upset with me. I don't know what got in to me back at the Hyuuga's. I guess it was just my time of the month, huh?"

He then began laughing nervously, but stopped once he realized that she was still simply staring at him with blank eyes.

He hated when she did that. He could usually read her eyes, but whenever she put her barrier up, her eyes went blank. Almost like she was dead. And she knew that he hated it. That just made it worse.

They continued to stand there, looking at each other. Kakashi closed his eye once more and sighed. "I guess I probably deserve the silent treament...I shouldn't have been so cold to you. You didn't do anything wrong. But seeing as you're pretty pissed at me, I should lea-"

He was cut off when he felt a sharp sting on his right cheek, making his face turn to the left.

Did she just...?

Kakashi opened his eye and looked at the hand that was still in the air from the attack. He then brought up his own hand to his now hurting cheek in shock. He'd been slapped by many woman and Sakura would always end up taking the pain away for him. But he had never been smacked by his pink-haired beauty. Sure she had punched him and broken a few bones, but never had she smacked him.

He continued to hold his cheek and stare at the girl in shock. "U-um...I guess I sort of deserved that too huh...?"

He expected her to say something like, "Yeah. You did."

But what she did next surprised him even more.

She hugged him.

Kakashi looked down at the top of the girl's head in confusion. Ok...She shows no emotion, then she slaps him, now she's hugging him? Maybe he should take her to Tsunade to get her checked out...

"Sakura...?"

The next thing that happened made his heart break.

He heard her begin to sob.

"P-please Kakashi...don't ever ignore m-me...Y-you can yell at me and get as upset with me as you w-want...Just please, don't leave me alone...I hate it when you're mad at me...But I h-hate it even more when you don't even want to be near me..."

Kakashi's eyes softened. She was already lonely for Christmas. And other then her parents, he was the closest thing to family she had probably ever had. Sure, she could go to Naruto and Sasuke, but Kakashi had gotten closer to her in the years that they had been gone, and even when they came back, he was still considered closest to her.

Kakashi didn't realize what he was doing until after he had already wrapped his arms around the poor girl. But even when he realized it, he didn't care. He wanted to hold her damnit! Was that so wrong?

He burried his nose into the top of her head. He'd been such an idiot...He wanted to make it up to her. He just wished he knew how to.

Sakura began calming down and snuggled closer into his chest. Yeah, he was an idiot. The whole fire country knew that. But she still loved him. She couldn't imagine life without him. She'd be too lonely.

Kakashi suddenly felt a chill run down his spine and remembered that it had been snowing ever since she had come along. How is it that he had completely forgotten...?

He leaned back and looked at the girl. He realized that there were streaks running down her cheeks from her tears and quickly took his thumbs and wiped them away, making her smile. He wanted to sigh in relief at seeing this. He was afraid she'd be mad at him for quite awhile. But apparently that wasn't the case.

Sakura smiled when she felt him wipe away the evidence of her tears. It was sweet of him, and it just made her admire him even more, no matter how stupid he was sometimes.

"Sakura...I'm so sorry...I promise to never ignore you again...it's not that I didn't want to be near you. I was just too afraid to face you at the time. I didn't want to start yelling and fussing at you like a child. I would have never guessed that you would rather me do that then leave you alone."

He noticed Sakura's eyes soften, as well as her smile. "Kakashi...Thank you for understanding. I really appreciate it..."

Deciding to lighten the mood, he closed his eye and smiled while replying, "No problem. I just never would have thought you'd want to spend sooo much time with me..."

He waited for the pain to come in some part of his body, but his eyes popped open when he felt her kiss the cheek that she had previously abused. When she pulled back, she giggled when she saw a mix of emotions in his eye. Shock, embarrassment, satisfaction, confusion, and relief.

She then decided to mess with his mind and stood on her toes to whisper in his ear, "But of course. I love spending time with my sexy sensei..."

She then quickly transport away, leaving a bunch of sakura petals to fall to the snow-covered ground.

Kakashi simply stood frozen in his spot from shock. Was she flirting with him? Did she really just...?

Shaking his head, he thought, No...No way...she was just messing with me...right? She couldn't possibly mean what she said...right? Right?

He let out a frustrated yell and made a few hand seals to transport to the exact place he knew she would be. His place...


Once the two were finished playing around and teasing each other, they had decided to take Naruto his gift and bring him along to spend Christmas with Sasuke. As much as the Uchiha tried to act like an ass, it was plain to see that he was grateful for his friends stopping by to visit.

Naruto and Sasuke argued most of the time, and during one of their quarrels, Kakashi and Sakura made their quick get-away.

Now it was 5 o'clock and they were sitting on his couch back at his place. They were drinking hot chocolate and talking about the party TenTen was having that night.

"C'mon Sensei! It'll be fun! And everyone'll be there. Including Gai."

Kakashi stared at her like she was stupid. "You just gave me even more reason not to go tonight..."

Sakura laughed and said, "You two are just like Naruto and Sasuke. And Ino and me. You might act like you annoy each other, but ya'll still love each other too much to hate one another."

Kakashi glared at the girl and mumbled, "That word love had better had been meant in a brotherly way."

Saraku smiled and rolled her eyes. "Oh please Kakashi. You still have your queer moments."

She then took one last sip from her drink before setting the now empty cup on the coffee table. When she sat back against the sofa once more and looked at the man next to her, she laughed at his expression. He had taken his mask off when they walked in the door, so she could clearly see every part of his face.

He looked scared and disgusted at the same time.

Sakura giggled and continued joking on him. "Oh c'mon Sensei...It's high time you came out of the closet."

Next thing she knew, Sakura was pinned to he couch, with a silver haired beauty on top of her. Gulping nervously, she asked, "U-um...Kakashi...?"

Said man smirked and lean down to whisper in her ear, "So you think I'm gay huh?"

Wondering what he was going to do, she nodded her head. "Y-yeah..."

She suddenly felt lips against her neck, making her gasp. He then mumbled against her skin, "You shouldn't have said that..."

She was about to ask why, but instead moaned when he began sucking at a certain spot on her neck. "Let me just show you how straight I really am..."

Kakashi couldn't believe what he was doing. It just wasn't like him to take it this far. But she had questioned is orientation! Never question a straight man's orientation...

...Unless you're willing to accept the consequences of coarse...

He began kissing down her neck until he reach her collarbone, where he began nibbling. He was delighted to hear her moan at the action.

He then ran a hand down her thigh and brought it up to wrap around his hip. This was turning out like his dream...at least before she woke him up...

Sakura was shocked when she felt him lift her leg to wrap around him. Things were really starting to get heated up and she didn't know whether to be excited or scared. Sure she knew he was just playing around with her, but usually when he joked with her like this, he never went this far. He'd usually hold her or at most whisper dirty things in her ear. But she never imagined he'd hold to his word when he said them!

She let out a pleasured groan when she felt his hand travel down her back and under her shirt. (AN: It's her back I tell you! I swear!)

He then stopped all movement and moved his mouth back to her ear and asked, "So...do you believe I'm straight now?"

Not wanting him to stop, Sakura shook her head stubbornly. Kakashi raised his brow in amusement. Apparently, she was just as much of a pervert as he was...

But he couldn't continue and he knew it. If he went any further, he was sure that he wouldn't be able to stop. And he just couldn't do that to her. Sighing, he got off of her and stood, looking down at her. He smirked at her appearance.

She was flushed and her shirt was wrinkled and pulled up just above her belly-button. Her eyes were full of lust and half-lidded and her chest was heaving with each pant that left her lips.

And to top it all off, there was a nice red mark right in the juncture between her neck and collarbone.

He shrugged at the girl and said, "Well then I guess I'm gay."

He then turned and began walking towards his room to get ready for the party tonight.

Sakura sat up and watched in shock as he began walking out of the room, but blinked in confusion when he stopped right at the doorway.

Without even turning to look at her, he said, "Oh. And before you start getting ready, you might want to check that cherry on the side of your neck. People might get suspiscious."

He then dissapeared down the hallway and into his room. Sakura continued to stare at the spot he had previously stood before understanding what he meant. Her eyes widened.

He didn't...

She ran as fast as she could to the bathroom and looked in the mirror above the sink. Sure enough, there was a nice, big hickie on the side of her neck for the world to see.

Kakashi put his ear against his bedroom door and began counting down. 3...2...1...

"HATAKE!"

He quickly locked his door, in hopes that it might hold her back somewhat.

He was wrong.

Sakura broke the door down and looked straight at her former sensei. Oh was he in for it.

Sure she was a medic and could heal many things. But hickies were a totally different story.

Kakashi smiled nervously and said, "Guess what! I decided I would go to the party tonight, just for you! Isn't that great? A-aren't you happy?"

He watched as she stepped closer and began cracking her knuckles.

Oh boy was he in for it...
