Author's Note: Took a little longer than expected but here's part three in our pair's time line. I hope that you enjoy and if you want me to continue on please let me know and I'm sure that I can think up a combo of fluff and humor for you.

He was late. The story of his life, however, when it came to being late with the Hokage he could always look forward to an earful (worse than his days with Team 7 I'm afraid).
Kakashi stopped outside of Tsunade's office door; he had already taken a detour stopping by Sakura's office only to find it vacant much to his dismay. To say that he had just returned home from a two week mission would have been a lie; he had been home for at least five hours and figured that was ample time before gracing the fifth with his presence.
A sweatdrop appeared, however, when he read a poorly written sign (the words almost illegible and running downhill toward the edge of the cardboard that it had been written on) hanging from the door knob. By some act of Kami, he was able to decipher its meaning—DO NOT DISTURB.
Kakashi figured that the fifth must be taking her daily nap, while her paperwork collected drool after she had passed out from a few too many hits with the good old sake bottle. He was about to turn and go when he heard what appeared to be three muffled voices from within; his dog ears tingled when he made out the familiar laughter that always brought a smile to his masked face, his kunoichi.
Throwing caution to the wind, he quietly turned the knob and opened the door just enough so he could get a better understanding of what could be taking place…
There sitting at what appeared to be a poker table was none other than Sakura, Shizune, Tsunade, and Tonton too! Kakashi's one visible eye widened as he took in the scene before him.
"Mou…Tsunade-Shishou…" began Sakura, taking another shot of sake, holding a set of cards in her hand, before grinning at her shishou and Shizune as well, "that makes three times in a row," she stated with no remorse, her arms reaching out to collect the chips on the table.
Tsunade took a big chug from the bottle of sake at her side and groaned, "Sakura…" she began, wiping her mouth with her sleeve, "…I'm afraid that I've taught you too many things…"
Shizune sweatdropped as she watched the rest of her chips slide across the table and into Sakura's arms, "…Well…I'm out…" she stated with a sigh, looking between the fifth and her apprentice.
"Ne, Tsunade-Shishou…" taunted Sakura with a grin, "what happened to me doing your paper work and you skipping out for the day when you won?"
Tsunade slammed her fist onto the table (insert Tonton go flying off the table) before rolling up her sleeve, a serious expression on her face, "I won't lose this time Sakura!"
Sakura had her arms latched onto her chips, checking to see if any happened to fall on the floor from Tsunade's outburst, "Mou…Tsunade-Shishou, you'll break the table," she grumbled.
Kakashi continued to watch on in awe, especially when Sakura cleared the table with a grin plastered on her drunken face.
"I…" began Sakura, in all her drunken glory as she raised her arm up high and pointed with her index finger toward the sky, "beat you…" she continued, quickly lowering her arm and pointing straight at her mentor, she exclaimed, "Tsunade-Shishou!"
And that folks was all she wrote for her face made contact with the table top as she passed out…and now Kakashi knew why his kunoichi did not drink in public…
-
Sakura sighed before opening the door that would reveal her next patient. She really hated yearly exams; so far she had had the great pleasure of seeing just about every ass in Konoha. Some she didn't mind…while others had just been disturbing…hell, Lee ran out of the room when he realized that she was his assigned nurse.
Thankfully she was down to her last patient, who just so happened to be penciled in for 10:00 and the clock in the hallway read 4:20…
She sweatdropped, oh Kami wouldn't be so cruel…she slowly pushed open the door to reveal…
"Yo, Sakura."
She hung her head in defeat before silently closing the door behind her. Yes, Kami was in deed cruel to have given her Hatake Kakashi for a patient; a man who loathed hospitals and anything sterile.
"…Kakashi…" she greeted with a dead pan voice as she looked at him sitting on the hospital table, reading the current copy of his distasteful little book series.
He lowered his book, noting how her shoulders were slumped forward and the look of dread on her features.
"Rough day?" he questioned, watching her as she picked up his medical chart and noticed the look of horror that she was currently trying to mask.
Silence.
Sakura's eye nervously twitched as she read the chart. Hatake Kakashi: Needs To Be Updated For Following Shots. The twitching increased tenfold as she noted that he didn't need just one, but many…
Kakashi had decided to go back to reading, it wasn't like she hadn't seen his body before so he figured that whatever the exam consisted of shouldn't be a problem. No need for alarm…how wrong he was…as her shadow loomed dangerously over him from behind, the readied syringe in hand…
(Forget Icha Icha Tactics, Move onto Haruno Sakura's Tactics:
Shot 1. Stab him from behind, he'll never know!
Shot 2. Kakashi, I love you! Hug him until he's blue!
Shot 3. Kiss him and tell him how proud of him you are…he doesn't know you still have a syringe in your pocket).
3 Shots and 10 Minutes Later…
"If you'd just stop moving we'd be done now!" cried Sakura, having lost the good nurse act and now going straight for the kill, both of her hands having been stopped by him as he held onto her wrists.
"I liked you better when you were trying to seduce me," informed Kakashi, a sweatdrop appearing, holding onto both of her wrists and watching her glare daggers at him as he let out a sigh.
"One more Kakashi, that's it!" she exclaimed, menacingly, freeing one arm from his grasp and panting heavily.
5 Minutes Later And A Hole In The Wall…
Sakura pulled her fist out from the newly made hole in the wall and slowly turned her head toward her victim (insert Psycho music) syringe in hand.
Kakashi's visible eye looked horrified, as he slowly began backing up from the death glare that his kunoichi was sending his way. He held up his hands in front of himself and laughed nervously, "Ne Sakura-chan…why don't we take a moment to analyze the situation…calmly might I add."
Sakura rolled up the sleeve of her medic jacket, her eyes locked on target, "Hai, I have and my job is to get this last shot into you so you don't get lock jaw," she stated through grit teeth, her aura deadly, "Although, I'm beginning to think that lock jaw would be the least of your worries…"
3 Minutes Later…
Sakura stood on her tip toes and gently kissed his masked lips, her right hand resting on his shoulder as she gently rubbed his arm with her left, "Mou…you're the worst…but good news is, I don't think it will cut of the circulation to her heart…" informed Sakura with a smirk, her finger on her chin in thought, "…shouldn't anyways…"
"…That's not very reassuring Sakura."
Kakashi looked at his limp arm at his side and sighed; damn Hyuuga Neji for teaching Sakura chakra point techniques and not teaching her how to release them! If he died tomorrow, the Hyuuga was so out of his will; wait, had he been too lazy to write a will? Hmmm…well, if he had written one, see one Hyuuga Neji: Swift Kick In The Ass.
-
Sakura walked down the street along side of Kakashi who (you guessed it) was currently engrossed in Icha Icha making their way from the hospital since her shift had ended for the day.
"Ne Kakashi," started Sakura, turning her attention to her companion a smile appearing on her face.
"Hai?" he replied, briefly looking away from Icha Icha to let her know that she had his attention.
"Do you want to go out to eat with me?" she asked, her hands clasped behind her back as they continued walking.
Kakashi shot her a happy eye crease, "Hai, that would be nice Sakura-chan."
While they were deciding where to eat Sakura couldn't help but notice the Hyuuga heiress peeking out from behind a tree; she followed her gaze which fell on one loud mouthed blonde.
"Kakashi," whispered Sakura as she discretely motioned to the two in view.
Kakashi looked over his book and found what Sakura had noticed, a smirk appearing on his face, "Ah Sakura-chan, you're not thinking of playing match maker are you?"
"Me? No no…" she informed, "but we would."
Kakashi did not like her way of thinking, especially when he felt her give him a push toward the would be Hokage while she crossed the street to give the timid girl a nudge in the right direction.
5 Minutes Later All Together Now!
Sakura was currently standing next to Hinata while Kakashi stood along side of Naruto (book in hand, no need to raise their suspicions).
"Hinata-chan, how are you?" greeted Naruto with a big grin on his face, never noticing the poor girl in front of him who was currently turning bright red.
"F-fine…" she began, oh the stuttering is starting, it was going to be a long night.
"Ne Naruto, I was asking Hinata if she wanted to join me for ramen, but since you're here, and Kakashi too, why don't we make it a double date?" offered Sakura, trying to conceal her grin.
"Sakura-chan, that sounds like a great idea, but is it really fair to have Hinata-chan be stuck with Kakashi for a date?" questioned Naruto, scratching the back of his head.
Sakura mentally slapped her forehead, while Kakashi sweatdropped, Kami he really was dense…
"Not you and me, you baka!" exclaimed Sakura before knocking Naruto upside the head while Kakashi let out a sigh and Hinata started to fret over the bump that was appearing on his head.
-
It was September 15, a day that Sakura had remembered since she was 12 years old, for it was the day of the infamous Copy-Nin's birth. Today he would be turning 37 and he was currently late for his own birthday get together.
She sighed; leave it to Kakashi who can't even show up on time for his own birthday gathering. Finally the door opened and Kakashi walked into the living room of his apartment to meet three sets of eyes staring at him with malice.
"…Yo…" he began, holding up his hand in a lazy fashion, before scratching his chin in thought, "why are you three here?"
By three, he meant Naruto (who was sitting on the couch eating ramen, believing that he would starve before they got to cut the cake), Sakura who was sitting along side of Naruto holding a magazine in her hand that must have been at least ten years old (it was that or Icha Icha, tough decision), and Sai who was currently drawing something on his pad in hand.
"Ne Kakashi, you must be getting old," informed Naruto, slurping up the remaining noodles in his bowl, a Cheshire cat grin appearing on his face, "you can't even remember that today is your own birthday?"
Kakashi sweatdropped, there was that 'old' bit that just had to be brought up. He glanced over at his kunoichi who appeared to be unfazed by the entire comment as she arched an eyebrow in his direction.
"You could have at least tried to be on time for us," informed Sakura, setting down the magazine on the coffee table before her, "I even baked your birthday cake too."
Kakashi let out a sigh and rubbed the back of his head nervously, "Gomen, gomen you see…"
"I ran into a lost dog on the side of the road…" started Naruto with a grin, only to be interrupted by Sakura, "who needed help finding its owner and I couldn't walk away from it until I found the little old lady who owns it."
Sai looked up from his drawing with a small smile, noting their grins, and Kakashi's slumped shoulders as he hung his head in defeat; yup they knew him too well.
So now that the guest of honor had graced them with his presence, their party began as Naruto helped himself to another piece of Sakura's homemade strawberry cake.
"Sakura-chan, this is SO good!" he managed in between mouthfuls, food flying at the helpless Sai who was just so lucky to have taken the seat across from him.
"Arigatou, Naruto," replied Sakura, before taking a bite of her own piece and then glancing over at Kakashi.
His plate was empty and she couldn't help but sweatdrop, how he did it, the world may never know…
"This is from me," informed Naruto, holding out a wrapped gift toward his former sensei and trying not to grin.
Kakashi took the gift and slowly unwrapped it, to reveal…
"Icha Icha: Diaries," he read out loud, his jaw dropping as his fingers ran over the lettering of the book, "I haven't even heard of this title…"
Naruto rubbed the back of his head and grinned, "Yeah, well the perverted old man owed me a favor."
Sai held out his present to Kakashi and waited as he watched his team captain open it to reveal a framed drawing of Team Kakashi. He had gotten their faces perfectly, and it was drawn from a photo of the three that had been taken the year before, with all of them sitting under a cherry blossom tree. Naruto sat on the left with a grin, Kakashi in the middle sporting his classic happy eye crease, and a smiling Sai on the right, while Sakura had her arms around Kakashi's neck from behind with a smile of her own.
Their team had become more like a small family and Kakashi gave Sai a look that said more than words could possibly.
Last but not least, was Sakura who held out an envelope with a red bow; his visible eye widened wondering what she could have gotten him, before taking the envelope from her hand and slowly opening it to reveal…
"A reserved ticket to the grand opening of Icha Icha Tactics Movie 2?!" he merely squealed in perverted delight, "They've been sold out for months, and this is…" his visible eye widened in surprise, he had to make sure that he was reading it right, "a front row seat…"
"Hai, hai…" informed Sakura, waving her hand like it was no big deal, toward his astonished form.
"How did you…" words could not be formed, while visions of Icha Icha danced in his head.
Sakura merely winked, "Let's just say that Jiraiya-Sama owed me one for not telling Tsunade-Shishou that he was spying on her in the bath house over the summer.
-
The Hokage in one of her drunken states of mind had come up with a wonderful idea in order to honor Konoha's shinobi: Party By Numbers. The social would be held for all of the leaf village's shinobi regardless of age; however, the fun part came on the night of the party when their dates would be revealed.
Every ninja in the village had been given a number and had been told that it was mandatory to attend and dress up.
Sakura looked down at the lottery ticket with the number 43 that was firmly in her hand. She was currently wearing a red sleeveless oriental styled dress that had gold cherry blossom petals covering it and hugged her form and wore small high heeled open toed red shoes. Her hair was currently pinned up the shorter pieces resting by the sides of her face.
She was quietly observing the guests as they began to arrive, noting how most of the men let out irritated sighs and pulled on the collars of their shirts.
"Yo."
Sakura turned to find her favorite elite jounin dressed up in black pants and a white buttoned long sleeved dress shirt (mask included of course) standing along side of her.
"Ohayo," she replied, turning to face him with a smile on her face and her hands clasped behind her back.
"You wouldn't happen to be number 27 would you?" he questioned with a sound of optimism.
She shook her head, "Gomen, I'm afraid not. I'm number 43."
Kakashi let out a sigh, his hands in his pockets and his shoulders slumped forward as he looked toward the arriving guests and watched as their odd exchange of numbers began.
"Nani?!" rang out from across the room, as both turned their attention toward two screeching blondes.
The pair sweatdropped, watching as Naruto pointed at Ino with a look of sheer horror and Ino wagged her finger in his direction yelling out that this must be some kind of sick joke.
"…That's one girl that I don't have to worry about getting, thankfully…" commented Kakashi, standing along side of his kunoichi.
"Hai," replied Sakura with a sweatdrop, watching as Ino went off ranting and looking for punch and Naruto commented that there had better be ramen at this event or Tsunade-Baa-chan was going to be hearing about it.
The couples were now growing as people were finding their dates; another voice rang out over the sound of the music that had begun playing.
"Ah Tsunade-Sama! Let us show them our youthfulness!"
All eyes went toward one man sporting a green suit (spandex had been ruled out, those who failed to comply would pay the consequences) and pointing his finger upward as he looked back toward his selected partner who was currently ordering another shot of sake.
"I'll show you youthfulness…Shizune, who thought up this stupid idea?"
Shizune, sweatdropping, holding Ton Ton in her arms—what? Ton Ton needs socializing too. "…Uh…that would be you, Tsunade-Sama…"
Tsunade muttered something incoherent before slamming her fist on the bar, "More sake!"
"…Well that takes care of that worry…" informed Sakura who couldn't help but feel better, yet sorry for her shishou who, by her own rules, would be stuck with Gai for the next three hours.
"Kakashi," a voice appeared from behind, as both turned to see Genma putting a hand on his friend's shoulder.
"Genma," greeted Kakashi, raising his right hand toward said man with senbon in check.
"Look," began Genma, twirling the senbon in his mouth, "you happen to know who has number 43? Because I'm telling you there aren't many women left that I would really want to take home with me if you know what I mean," he stated with a grin as he elbowed Kakashi in the side.
Kakashi's visible eye unconsciously widened as he looked toward the kunoichi on his right who was currently smirking.
"Ne Genma," greeted Sakura with a smirk on her face, "I'm number 43," she informed, holding out the lottery ticket for him to view.
Genma's face lit up as he twirled the senbon once more, "Well, aren't I lucky?" He questioned before patting Kakashi on the shoulder, "You know, three hours is a long time Sakura, we could always go somewhere else, and sneak out the back and all if we get bored."
Kakashi was watching the odd little exchange before him, as Genma snaked his arm around Sakura's waist and complimented her on how beautiful she looked and she mentioned that he looked handsome in his own attire. Kakashi was about to say something when a familiar voice rang out and caused him to sweatdrop.
"Arriving!"
Everyone turned their attention toward the noisy brunette who was currently standing in the center of the room wearing a black dress short sleeved, knee length dress and grinning like a mad women, "Who has number 27?!"
Sakura grinned at Kakashi, "Ne Kakashi, don't you have number 27?" she asked, innocently.
Genma grinned before giving him a wink, "Have fun with Anko, Kakashi, hope she doesn't beat your head in if you don't say or do the right things," he wished him luck before leading Sakura toward a corner of the room.
She turned toward him and waved before giving him a grin, "Have fun Kakashi."
"Don't be shy!" rang out Kakashi's date, "Number 27 step right up!"
Kakashi glanced over toward Naruto who was currently eating ramen in his dress suit, while Ino sat next to him and shoveled a bowl of ramen into her mouth as well in order to avoid conversation. He couldn't help but think that Naruto had been the lucky one…and that as he glanced over in Tsunade's direction to find her passed out on a table, with Gai oblivious to her drooling as he continued onward about youthfulness in the spring time, that she had the right idea—find the sake as quickly as possible. His one visible eye managed to spot his kunoichi who was currently dancing a little too close to one senbon twirling jounin; yup, the sooner he found that sake the better.
-
They were currently standing at the training grounds sweatdropping at Naruto's retreating form who was heading, where else, for ramen of course and informing all of Konoha how many bowls he would consume today.
"Naruto and his ramen," muttered Kakashi, before looking over at his kunoichi who was currently standing along side of him.
"Hai, the day that Naruto doesn't have ramen for breakfast, lunch, or dinner is the day I'm taking him to the hospital to run some tests," commented Sakura, before bending down to pick up her pack and head home.
"Sakura?"
"Hai Kakashi?"
"I'd liked like to teach you something, if you don't mind learning from your old sensei that is."
Sakura rolled her eyes, "I'd love to learn something new from you," she replied, setting her pack back on the ground.
"Now don't be too eager, I'm afraid that it's simple ninjutsu today and nothing more," he replied, noticing her reddening face, from embarrassment or anger one can never tell, holding up his hands defensively.
"You pervert!" she exclaimed, her eye twitching nervously as she watched him hold out his hands in defense and give her a nervous chuckle.
"Kidding, kidding," he began, sweatdropping, before becoming semi-serious once more, "No, seriously Sakura, I do want to teach you something."
"Alright," she replied, with a sigh, "well, go ahead…teach…" she informed rather flatly.
Kakashi's shoulders slumped forward as he let out a sigh in defeat, "Try not to sound so enthusiastic, I know I'm not as great as Tsunade-Sama…" he muttered, his ego now had been totally deflated.
"Mou…Kakashi…" began Sakura, taking his right hand in her own and smiling, "you'll always be my favorite sensei; Tsunade-Shishou is just a little different because she's my mentor."
"You want to be a busty drunk who passes out at her desk?" he asked in a deadpan voice.
Sakura let out an exasperated sigh before throwing her hands up in the air, "I give up!"
Kakashi grinned and ruffled her pink locks, "Ok, ok…can I teach you something?"
Sakura looked up at him and gave him her undivided attention, "I would like that."
"Alright, I'm going to show you a summoning technique," he informed, getting right down to business.
"A summoning technique?" she questioned, arching an eyebrow, she stood along side of him and turned her head to face him.
"Hai, I'm going to show you how to summon Pakkun," he replied, looking over at her with his own visible eye.
"Pakkun?" she started, "You want to share your nin dog with me?"
"Why not? I already share my heart with you."
Sakura looked down with a blush appearing on her face, "…Kakashi…" she whispered.
"Now hold your hands like this and I'll teach you the seals."
"Hai, like this?"
Kakashi looked over and shook his head, "No…more like this…"
"Ah, ok. Got it," she replied waiting for the next hand seal.
"Then this…"
Sakura copied his hand signal, "Hai…"
"And then this one…"
"This?" she questioned, looking over at him, while trying to master the sign at the same time.
Kakashi walked over and stood in front of her, taking her hands in his own he perfected the desired seal. "Like this, alright?"
"Hai, so it's this…"
"No, it's…" he looked up with his visible eye widening, "Sakura are you laughing?"
Sakura shook her head quickly and tried to fake a serious expression, "No sensei," she informed, as she looked back at his hands holding hers, while he sweatdropped, "So it's this one…"
"Hai, Sakura," he replied, watching as she went to the next seal, "Good," he continued and then she hit the third seal and he carefully moved her fingers to the right position, "There," he informed.
"Ok so it's this, this, and this," she replied, performing the three seals that he had taught her.
"Correct."
"Alright, what's next?"
"Next is one more seal, which looks like this…"
"Right, um…can you do it again?" she asked, trying not to laugh, hand seals were tough especially when your teacher has lightning fast fingers and second long demonstrations.
"Hai."
Sakura sighed, as she watched him take her hands once more and create the seals, "Like this, Sakura-chan…"
"Oh…" she leaned forward…
Sakura nearly burst out laughing as she and Kakashi hit heads, "Gomen," she whispered, her upper body shaking from the laughter she was trying to stifle.
"…Do you laugh when training with Tsunade-Sama?" he questioned, trying to conceal the grin that was making its way to his face.
Her eyes widened in surprise, "Are you kidding me? If I took time out to laugh I'd have been dead years ago," she informed in a highly serious tone, "My first day of training was don't get hit by chunks of earth as they're being hurled at you and then she'd consider our next lesson."
Kakashi sweatdropped, as he watched her take a deep breath and create the seals perfectly, "Very good Sakura, now the last step, you want to say—
He blinked when she took hold of his right hand and flipped it over so that his palm was up and outstretched before placing her palm over his own…
"Kuchiyose no Jutsu!" Sakura exclaimed, raising her hand as a puff of smoke appeared in Kakashi's outstretched hand.
"Yo, Kakashi," greeted Pakkun as he looked up, to find Kakashi in awe; he blinked and turned his head to find Sakura standing there.
"Ohayo Pakkun," greeted Sakura, waving her hand at him and a smile on her face.
"Yo Sakura, I see that Kakashi taught you the summoning technique. How many tries did it take you?"
"This is my first time," she stated in a carefree voice, and sweatdropped, watching the nin dog's jaw drop open, "What?"
"It took Kakashi at least five times to summon me when he first started," informed Pakkun, before shooting a grin up toward his owner.
Kakashi's shoulders slumped forward and he hung his head in defeat mumbling, "I didn't expect her to get it on the first try…she couldn't even get the hand seals right…how could she possibly…ugh…I'm getting old…"
Both Pakkun and Sakura sweatdropped in response…
-
Sakura fell backwards onto the bed in her hotel room, it felt so good to relax after a long day. The mission had completely taken its toll on her body and she longed for nothing more than to take a hot shower…
However, things never go as planned as she heard the adjoining door knob turn and the door open to reveal Kakashi standing in the doorway.
"Yo," he gave her his regular greeting as he closed the door behind him and made his way toward the bed.
Sakura let out a sigh and looked up to find him looking down at her his one visible eye in a happy eye crease.
"You look happy," she commented, not being able to suppress the smile that made its way to her face.
"I just have a question for you is all," he replied, still standing over her bed.
"A question?" she answered, blinking in response, "What question?"
"Since Naruto and Sai have already returned to Konoha, do you want to go out with me?"
Sakura arched an eyebrow at him, "You mean like a date?"
"Hai, if you want to call it one," Kakashi informed, with a shrug of his shoulders, his hands in his pockets as he watched her sit up.
Sakura sat up with a grin, "You know this will be our first real date."
Kakashi sweatdropped hoping that this 'date' wasn't going to bankrupt him…
Thank Kami for giving him a woman who is just as cheap as he is!
Both were currently occupying a pair of stools outside of a food cart eating udon. The stand owner smiled at the pair in front of the counter before him.
"You two make a lovely couple," the old man said with a grin, observing their odd exchange, whose compliment either went unheard or just unnoticed.
"This one is too spicy, here you eat it…" informed Sakura holding out the said piece of spicy food in between her chopsticks toward him.
"Hai, hai…" Kakashi replied, pulling down his mask when the old man turned around to tidy up the grill.
Sakura watched him chew before fishing around in his own bowl and holding out a piece of tempura that had somehow found its way in. He mimicked her actions and held out the piece of tempura in between his chopsticks. Sakura couldn't help but smile as she leaned forward and opened her mouth to take away the dreaded tempura that she knew plagued Kakashi's taste buds.
"Arigatou," he stated, watching her as she chewed and swallowed the distasteful little piece that had somehow managed to infiltrate his bowl.
"Doo itashimashite," she replied and blushed as she watched him rub his napkin over her mouth and smile back at her with his happy eye crease before returning to his bowl. She looked back toward her own bowl, the blush now fading, knowing that it was times like these why she loved the infamous Copy nin…
But she could always find a way of asking herself what exactly it was about him that made her love him so, especially as they now stood outside of an adult bookstore displaying the promo for the latest Icha Icha merchandise and he proceeded to act like a complete and total baka in front of the window. Her eye began to twitch when she overheard a young boy asking his mother what was it that the man found so interesting in the window, and his mother inform her son that he didn't really need to know what was so interesting. Kami knows Sakura still hadn't figured out what was so interesting in all the eleven years that she had known Kakashi…
After having led Kakashi by the hand to their next destination, Sakura now opened the small box in her lap to reveal several manju cakes as they both occupied a spot underneath a tree in a secluded park.
"Here," she informed holding up one of the decorated small cakes and leaned forward holding it out toward him.
Kakashi grinned and complied by lowering his mask and taking a bite. Sakura arched an eyebrow and waited for the verdict.
"Well?" she questioned, not hearing anything positive or negative and hardly ever being able to read his facial expressions. Sakura went to open her mouth once more and get an answer when she felt the delightful dessert enter her mouth, her eyes widened as she chewed.
"You tell me," replied Kakashi as he watched her bring a finger to her chin in thought before swallowing.
"Hai, they are good," Sakura began before licking some of the sugar from her lips, "you know, this was really fun…minus you freaking people out by stopping to gawk at Icha Icha on main street…"
Kakashi sweatdropped and rubbed the back of his head nervously, "It wasn't that bad…"
Sakura's mouth nearly dropped open, "Are you kidding me? Did you hear what one woman told her kid when he asked what you were doing? She said that only dirty old men stand in front of that shop window."
Kakashi's sweatdrop grew as his shoulders slumped forward in defeat. Sakura grinned before leaning forward and kissing his cheek.
"Should you be kissing a dirty old man in public?" questioned Kakashi still trying to recover from her comment.
"You tell me," she replied, before leaning forward once more and gently kissing his lips.
She grinned when she felt him respond and smiled within the kiss before breaking it, "No, you're right, I really shouldn't be kissing a dirty old man in public, he might get the wrong idea," she informed before leaning back.
Kakashi let out a defeated sigh before bringing his hands up to cup the sides of her face, "Too late now," he stated with a smirk before covering her lips with his own once more, his smirk growing as he felt her arms wrap around his neck and her kisses upon his lips.
Kakashi's note to self: Asking Sakura out on a date has its perks.

Thank you so very much for reading, yes this one is a lot shorter than the other two but I have more ideas if you'd like to see this timeline continue, just say the word!
