Chapter 3

Kakashi's POV

"Sakura?!" my day just kept getting better and better, tons of overdue mission reports that I had to finish and give to Tsunade, and now seeing my ex-student kissing Yamato!

"Kakashi-sensei?" her face went crimson red as she shot up off of the log.

"What the heck are you doing?!" rage was building up inside of me and I didn't even know why.

Why should I be jealous if Sakura was kissing some one? It's not like she was my student anymore, but I still felt the need to protect her from the outside world.

I managed to sustain my anger, "Sakura? Can I talk to you over here please?" I shot a threatening look at my Comrade.

"ermm, sure Kakashi-sensei" She avoided eye contact with me until we got half way up a nearby tree.

She looked at me sheepishly, then seemed to blurt out "Kakashi-sensei! I didn't actually kiss him! It was a dare to kiss him on the cheek, he didn't know about it!" she turned her attention back to the floor as she went quiet once again.

"You should know better, Sakura. What would the people of Konoha think if they saw that? And stop calling me Kakashi-sensei, im not that old! Oh and I need your latest missions report" I couldn't even in her direction, let alone look her in the eye.

"so that's what you think? I don't see what's wrong with dating some one older than me! I wouldn't care if the world was against us, as long as we loved each other. ." she trailed off and began to fiddle with some stray hair, eyes still fixed to the floor.

"Sakura, look that's not what I meant, I just don't want you to get hurt" I softened my tone, realising that I had upset her.

It went silent, the gennin had snuggled into their tents as the harsh cold had crept in. The silence was killing me, I wanted to say sorry but I couldn't speak, I wanted to comfort her but my body just wasn't responding. Instead it kept me bound to the branch. But I had to do something, I had to. I lifted my arm slowly and gently placed my hand on her shoulder.

"If you hadn't noticed already sensei, you're the one hurting me right now" she jumped of the branch we were balancing on.

I swear I could see tears in her eyes as she walked over to Yamato.

"I think you should go Yamato-sensei, my team and I have training to do early in the morning" She stood up and handed a wad of paper to Yamato, presumably the mission report.

She looked up at me, then stormed of into the tent swiftly. I cursed myself for upsetting her, half of what I said wasn't even true, then why had I said it? I sighed and looked up into the starry night, now hoping I wasn't going to get an earful from her ex-mentor, Tsunade.

"I guess ill have to hand in the mission reports tomorrow morning" I looked at pages of writing in my hand and begun to hop from branch to branch in the direction of my house.

When I eventually got home, I pulled the key out of my left pocket and unlocked the door, I slid of my shoes and half-heartedly placed the reports on my desk. Stretching my arms I collapsed into the arm chair and drifted into a deep sleep.

What seemed like only and hour of decent sleep, I was woken abruptly by an exhausted Kotetsu.

"Kakashi" he stopped and took a breath "Tsunade ordered me to come and get you for a mission because all the other shinobi are on missions or are busy, so you are one of the only ninja left for the mission" he gasped for air, then straightened himself up.

"What? What time is it?" I stood tiredly out of my chair and walked over to the handy clock on my desk.

"Kakashi, its 8:30 In the morning, you better get to Tsunade's office swiftly, trust me" he rubbed his head tenderly and disappeared in a puff of smoke.

I sighed, and ran my hands through my hair. I knew it would be an easy going mission, but still, I really wasn't in the mood for travelling or anything besides sleeping to be honest. Then again, explaining to Tsunade why I was late really wasn't what I needed right now. I made up my mind and grabbed the paper on my desk, grabbed my keys and strolled over to the door. Making sure the door was shut properly I took of in the direction of the Hokage's tower.

A few minutes went by until I finally reached my destination. I knocked and opened the door slowly to reveal a rather ticked off Tsunade looking at me.

"Am I late?" I said as innocently as possible, trying not to anger the Hokage.

"Half an hour late, kakashi" she rested her chin in the palms of her hands and looked up at me "I'm going to brief you about your mission, then you leave straight away, got it?".

"I got it" I nodded to show I understood, then listened to the briefing.

After about ten minutes I left her office in complete disbelief, two days travelling either way and three days escorting an Heir to a neighbouring village. That wasn't the problem, the problem was who my partner would be. I quivered and trudged defeatedly to the main gate. . .
