The Land of Waves Pt 3

SAKURA'S POV

"Sakura-Chan."

I frowned.

"Saaakuuuraaa-Chaaaan!"

The frowning became more intense.

"WAKE UP!"

"HOLY FUCKING SHIT!" I yelled, jumping right out from underneath my blankets. I glared at the energetic blonde in front of me.

"What are you doing up so damn early?"

"We're training Sakura-chan..." I shook my head.

"Correction. You're training, I'm sleeping." I dropped my head back down on my pillow and closed my eyes. I was about to fall into dream land with cotton candy, chocolate, marshmallows- but something wet and cold was dumped on me.

"WHAT THE FUCK!"

It went silent.

"Sakura-chan, I told you, we are TRAINING!" I shot up and punched Naruto into next century.

"SHANNARO!"

"Byeeeee Tsunami-chan and Inari-kun ~!" I chirped happily, walking out of the doors with my Team to go train again, excluding Naruto.

"Ne, ne, Kaka-sensei," The silver-haired Jounin looked at me. "-where's Naruto at?" Before Sensei could answer Sasuke-kun cut him off.

"Pfft, that dobe ran off on his own somewhere else."

"Aa," For some reason, I had anger bubbling in my chest. Towards, Sasuke-kun? "-but if you didn't realize, that question was directed towards Kaka-Sensei!" I glared at Sasuke while everyone, Tazuna and Kakashi-Sensei, looked like they just saw a ghost. Sasuke looked like his dog just died. I was even surprised myself. Didn't I have an undying love for Sasuke-kun? I've never once been angry at him, for no reason none-the-less.

"Hn." I turned away from everyone else and sped up my pace. Why was I so mad at him? Fuck. I clenched and un-clenched my fists at my side, itching to punch something. Or to be more specific, someone.

'No bad thoughts Sakura. You L-O-V-E Sasuke-kun! L-O-FUCKING-V-E!'

'I don't know what the hell you're talking about but, I got someone else on my mind...' I glared at Inner. Inner slowly backed away into the back of my head.

'Good girl.'

'Bite me, bitch!'

Ignoring Inner's comment, I kept on walking until we reached our destination. I sat down at a nice place on the grass in the shade, right against a tree. Leaning against the tree I closed my eyes.

"Sakura?" My eyes shot open at the intruder of my relaxing time. Kakashi-Sensei.

"What?" I snapped. He flinched at my tone.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling okay?" He bent down to my level on the ground and felt my forehead. My face went red.

"What the hell!" My stomach was acting up again. Kakashi, now alarmed, asked me,

"What's wrong?"

"My stomach feels tingly, again...This is REALLY starting to piss me off!" I added. He nodded and then held his hand to his chin, in a thinking position. He tapped his chin while in thought.

"I don't know what to say about that one. Because it would seem that you don't like Sasuke-kun anymore.." He scratched the back of his head nervously, possibly afraid that I might punch him in the face, really hard. I pinched the bridge of my nose and sighed.

"Well, then, that sucks, ne?" I snorted. Kakashi sat down beside me on my left. It was an awkward silence for a while.

"Ahem..." I looked up to see a chicken's ass, in my face. Oh sorry, I mean Sasuke...

"Yes? You are blocking my, um...shade? Yes, you are blocking my shade." I lifted a delicate pink eyebrow up at Sasuke. He fidgeted, something you never see an Uchiha do. EVER! His face had a light blush across the bridge of his nose.

"I-I-I...hn."

"Sorry, I don't speak Uchiha-ness-ess-esssss..." I stated innocently. Kakashi chuckled lightly. I earned a glare from the U-fucking-chiha Sasuke. Oh do I feel honored! Note sarcasm.

"Wha~t~ever! Your wasting my time, bitch, leave!" For once, Sasuke listened to me and walked away to go train. I sighed happily closing my eyes, once more. It was very peaceful. I actually forgot that Kakashi was there!

"Heheheeheheeh ~" Kakashi giggled like a school girl. I opened my eyes and turned to Kakashi.

"Why do you giggle while reading that? I would think you would be crying, cos', you aren't getting any action like that, at all..." I smirked.

"Sakura-chan...I think you're jealous."

"You think I'm jealous because you have to masturba_?" Kakashi cut me off.

"Oh Kami, please don't even go there."

"I just did, whatcha' gonna do about it?" I said, in that uh-huh-bitch-you-just-got-BURNED-voice.

"Has anyone ever told you how annoying you can be at times?" I ignored him, a little hurt.

"Has anyone ever told you how much of a creep you can be at times?" It went silent for a few minutes.

"Why yes, yes, they have." He stated proudly. I moved away from him slightly.

"I'm bored."

"Hi bored. I'm Kakashi." I glared at the side of his head, trying to burn a hole through him. Hm, maybe if I concentrate hard enough, it'll work.

"Sakura?" I blushed.

"G-gomen..." With nothing else to do, I climbed up the tree I was previously sitting in front of, and sat on a nice, big, branch. I leaned against the tree trunk and stared out into the clearing where Sasuke was training.

"Wait, where the hell is Tazuna?" I asked.

"I'm right here, sweetheart, why you miss me?" I turned to my right and look down to see the old geezer himself. Tazuna. I made a face of disgust.

"Hell no."

"Now, now Sakura. You must treat the bridge builder with respect. Okay? Okay." Kakashi said, as if he really cared. Pfft, my ass.

"Trust me, I am."

"Yeah and how are you doing that..?"

"By not punching him into next year."

"Aah..."

I hopped off the branch and stalked off to take a little walk and to stretch my muscles out. Little did I know, Kakashi was right behind me.

NO ONE'S POV

Sakura got to her destination. The bridge. Only to see all the bridge builders on the ground, motionless.

"Oh my Jashin-Sama... Giichi-kun!" The pinkette ran to the spot that Giichi and herself, usually worked at. He wasn't there.

"G-Giichi-K-K-Kun...?" She started to shake in fear. A hand grabbed her shoulder and she almost died right there. Actually, she fainted. So Kakashi picked her up, being the guy that grabbed her shoulder, and carried her bridal style, back to Tazuna's, where the rest of the gang was.

While walking Kakashi couldn't help but look down at his pink haired student. Yeah that's right, his. He thought she looked cute with her silky pink hair and emerald-green eyes. So... Innocent. What the hell was he thinking?

"Oh Kami, I really am a creep." Kakashi shuddered. He kicked the door open, startling everyone in the room.

"What's wrong with Sakura-nee?" Inari asked with a worried expression. The dark-haired boy ran over to Kakashi and Sakura, who was still unconscious in his arms. Kakashi looked at Inari for a couple seconds before looking at Tazuna with a stern look in his eyes.

"Everyone at the bridge was attacked," Everyone froze. "-Zabuza's back."

"Shit." Tazuna swore under his breath. Sakura started to stir in Kakashi's hold. Her eye's flashed open in fear. Sakura's emerald eyes darted all around the room.

"Where's Giichi-kun?" She started to struggle in Kakashi's grasp, trying to escape from him. This only made Kakashi's grip tighten on her.

"Sakura, calm down!" Sakura flinched.

"K-Kakashi, you're h-hurting m-me..!" Sakura winced, tears threatening to spill out of her green eyes. He let go of her completely making her fall on her butt. She hissed.

"What the hell is your problem!" Sakura yelled, running back to their shared room. The sliding door slammed shut. Kakashi stood there, stock still with a terrified look on, what you could see of, his face.

'What have I done?'

Was the last thing he thought before he heard a scream.

Her scream.

SAKURA'S POV

I wasn't even in the room for more than 5 seconds, when someone was thrown through the window. On instinct I screamed. Who the fu_?

"U-uhhhn..." The person groaned. I moved closer to the man. He was older, maybe around Tazuna's age. Light brown hair with a white headband around his forehead. My eyes widened.

"G-Giichi-kun?"

"S-Sak-kura-a-Cha-an?" His eyes widened slightly. He was covered in blood. At the same exact time, Kakashi and Sasuke burst through the door, breaking it in the process.

"Sakura!" Sasuke yelled running to my side. Tazuna ran in right after.

"Giichi!" Tazuna came to Giichi's side and lifted him up.

"T-Tazuna... I-I..." He grabbed Tazuna's shirt. "Zabuza... Bridge... Ugh.." Giichi started coughing up blood.

"Tsunami-Chan; get Giichi out of here, clean him up, and address his wounds! "

"Hai!" Tsunami ran in, Inari in tow. Inari rushed in and hugged me, tears streaming down his face. Tsunami, with the help of Sasuke, carried Giichi into the other room to wash him up and to bandage him.

"O-oh Sakura-nee, I thought something happened to you! I wa-as so s-scared!" He held onto me even tighter, I thought I was going to pass out from lack of oxygen. I rubbed his back in a soothing matter.

"It's okay Inari-Kun.." I reassured him with a bright, fake, smile. What the hell did I know? Kakashi, who was also there, gave me a sympathetic look. Obviously he could tell I wasn't so sure myself. I always was a bad liar.

"Inari-kun," Inari looked at his mother, Tsunami. "-let's go get you ready for bed, okay?" Inari was about to protest but I butted-in.

"Otouto, go on. Listen to Kaa-chan! Maybe, if you listen, I'll stay up with you and we can stargaze on the roof?" Inari was out of the room in 3 seconds flat, telling his mom to 'GET A MOVE-ON!'. I chuckled at his antics.

"I'm just going to have a shower, okay Kaka-Sensei?" I looked at Kakashi, he hesitated before saying,

"Do you want me to join you?"

"..."

I stood there, my mouth agape and a huge blush covered my face. Did he really just say that? Kakashi's eye twitched.

"Shit. I did NOT mean to say that! Fuck, fuck, fuck..." Kakashi muttered over and over again.

"Are you flirting with me Kakashi-SENSEI!" I emphasized the last word. I just wanted him to know that we were indeed, teacher and student.

"Sakura, I was just joking... Can we pretend I never said that?" Kakashi literally pleaded to me. Haha, the Hatake Kakashi, A.K.A. the Copy Cat Ninja, was begging to a 14 year-old girl, with pink hair, none-the-less! Dayum.
I raised an eyebrow at him.

"I don't know Sensei, it sounded as if you really wanted to... You really are a creep!" I forced myself not to laugh.

"Oh Kami-sama, Sakura you know I didn't mean it like that!"

"Did I?"

"Um... Yes?" I gave him a disapproving look.

"What if I told," I paused. "-Naruto-kun?" His eye went as wide as the moon.

"NO!"

"Hmm?" If Kakashi wasn't Kakashi, he would have started crying.

"Please Sakura-chan, don't do it!" I rolled my eyes.

"Fine whatever..." I started walking to the bathroom again, with my clothes and a towel with me. I wasn't going to have that incident happen, again. I was about to close the door, but Kakashi interrupted me.

"So do you want me to join you?"

"PERV!" I threw the closest thing to me, at him. Bad idea. That just happened to be one of my favorite pairs of panties. It was really lacy (What can I say, I love lace!). Kakashi picked the clothing article off his face and smiled, his famous eye crinkle in place.

"Aw, so cute Sakura-chan ~! Who would have thought that you would wear lacy lin_" I cut him off by slamming the door.

"Um, Kakashi..." I called from inside the bathroom.

"Ah, Sakura! Are you asking me to come in and shower with you?"

"Dream on."

"Ouch. That was harsh." I couldn't help but smile at him.

"Aah, but I do need you to pass me my, uh... underwear?"

"Do you really want your own Sensei to touch your panties? Not to mention its all cute and lac_!" I slammed the bathroom door open, in nothing but a towel. Not to mention, it was just below mid-thigh. Shit.

"Fine! I'll get it myself!" I walked over to him with a blush on my face, and my arm out stretched.

"Panties, please." Kakashi had the darkest blush I have ever seen, on his face. His headband was off so it was a lot more noticable. He looked really... Cute? Oh Jashin-Sama, what am I thinking!

"S-Sakura?" I focused back in on Kakashi and saw that he placed my underwear in my hand.

"A-arigatou..." I tugged at the bottom of the towel while walking back into the bathroom. Once in, I closed the door, and dried off. I tug my panties on and then my PJ's, a black tank-top with a large Uchiha sign on the back, and red pajama bottoms, which were a size too big, and walked out of the bathroom with a towel around my neck. My pink hair was all messy and my face was all flushed from the heat of the shower. I opened the sliding door to go into the kitchen/dining room, all the while, Kakashi had his eye's on me.

"I'm going to go star-gazing on the roof with Inari-kun. So if you want to, you can join me on the roof. Not in the shower." I heard him chuckle before I left to go to Inari's room. I walked up the stairs and turned to my left to see Inari's door slightly open. I peeked through to see him sitting on the window seat with a blanket wrapped around him.

"Inari-Kun? Do you still wanna star gaze...?" Said person turned around with a smile on his face and nodded.

"You betcha' I do!" I giggled and grabbed his hand. Carefully, we climbed out the window and grabbed hold of the ladder on the right side of the window. He went first and I went second. We made it safely to the roof and found a nice spot to lay down on. Inari and I shared the blanket he had, which was surprisingly large enough to cover us both and at least 2 other people, and star gazed. Only recently have I started to star gaze almost every night, at my house. I haven't been able to here because I've been ridiculously busy.

A few hours passed by and I brought Inari back down to his room to put him to bed. He was already knocked out cold within the first hour. I left him the blanket and climbed back up onto the roof. I laid down in the same spot as before. I closed my eyes for a few seconds. Then something warm engulfed me. I opened my eyes in surprise, only to see Kakashi wrapping a blanket around himself and I. It was like the same one as Inari's except it was black, while Inari's was blue.

"So you decided to take up on that offer, ne, Kaka-Sensei? Or did you just come up here to be so damn close to your female student, who, by the way, in fact, is only 14 years-old!" I stated smartly.

"Are you accusing me of being a pervert because I want to spend time, possibly closer and in a blanket, with one of my favorite, female, students?" He mocked a hurt tone.

"Eh, Kaka-Sensei, I am your only female student!"

"Right you are." He agreed. I laughed and accidentally moved in closer beside Kakashi. He tensed a little and so did I. After awhile he put an arm around my shoulders and pulled me in, so I was leaning more on his chest. He rested his head on the top of mine. My face went red for the millionth time that day.

"Sakura, you're blushing..."

"No shit Sherlock." I snorted. I could feel him roll his eyes at me. That's how close we were. Not that I'm complaining. I closed my eyes. It was so peaceful.

"We should head back down before you catch a cold."

"No." I grunted. "I like it like this... It's really... Comfortable..." He sighed.

"Yeah, yeah."

I fell asleep.

Review please.
