OK!

So!

New Chapter as promised!

Got a little lazy, so the first part is from the last chapter.


Chapter 3 -Changing Plans!

For once Kakashi had all of his paper work in the day he got it. For once he didn't feel like reading any of his beloved 'Make Out' books, and for once he was looking for something, ANYTHING, to take his mind off the coming task of asking Sakura out on a date.

He would even gladly accept one of Gai's ridiculous and tedious challenges right about now.

Every time he had a free moment his thoughts would travel to the appealing way Sakura looked the morning he had drawn out her name, then to the smirks of Izumo and Kotetsu as they jotted down his unlucky draw on their clip boards. Then his mind would go to the encouragement of Gai, and then it would jump to the daunting task ahead.

He shook his head in dismay. What was he going to do about this predicament?

Kakashi sat up on his bed, then lazily got to his feet. it had only been a few days ago Sakura had scolded him about his posture, telling him he would get scoliosis if he kept standing like that. He shook his head again...

"Time for a walk I think," he mumbled to himself.

Thoughts buzzed around his head as he wandered Konoha. His feet carried him without any conscious thought of where he was going.

As he passed by a small cafe, an angry female voice broke him from his thoughts.

"NOT HAPPENING INO!"

Ino sounded very smug as she responded to her screaming friend, "Why not? Its not like you want to be alone with Kakashi right?"

Kakashi raised an eyebrow at the mention of his name. His curiosity now piqued, Kakashi lent very inconspicuously against the wall of the small eatery, and pulled his favorite volume of "Make Out" out of his pocket.

"Come on..." The blonde coaxed, "It'll be fun, and this way you don't have to be alone with him."

"I-I think its a good idea..." a timid voice this time.

"See even Hinata thinks its a good idea, come on Sakura..."

Kakashi froze. Did word travel that fast? Did she really want to avoid being alone with him that badly?

An inaudible mumble flowed to Kakashi's ears followed by Ino's shrill voice.

"Listen bill-board-brow. It was bad luck that you drew your sensei's name. I would have freaked too if I had pulled out Asuma-Sensei's name, but make the most of it. Have a bit of fun with it."

He heard a frustrated sigh, "I suppose. Its going to be incredibly awkward though..."

Kakashi couldn't help but smirk a little at this, he silently promised himself he would make it as comfortable as he could for her.

"Well," he heard Sakura groan, "I guess its time to go find the man in question so I can get this over with..."


She could have sworn she had felt Kakashi's presence as she walked towards the exit to the cafe. Ino had promised to take care of the bill this time, but it would be Sakura's shout the next. She felt like she was carrying a massive weight on her shoulders, and that conversation hadn't made it any better.

So Hinata had drawn out Kiba, and Tenten had drawn out Neji. Sakura mentally kicked herself... after finding out who everyone else had drawn, Ino had neglected to share with everyone the snippet of information concerning who she had been lumped with. Instead the focus had been on Sakura's unfortunate situation.

At that thought the weight seemed to grow heavier.

Ino had insisted on choosing a club that had only recently opened that they would be able to enter without adult supervision. Of course if Kakashi-Sensei was present it wouldn't matter anyway.

The blonde 'pig' had also insisted on surprising each of the girls with outfits for the night. This was actually more of a concern to Sakura then the date itself. Knowing Ino she would choose an outfit for her that covered the least amount of skin possible. Something that was sure to get her noticed. Thankfully though, Sakura wouldn't be alone in the 'nearly naked' department. Tenten and Hinata would also be joining her.

Sakura had been so deep in thought she hadn't noticed the silver haired jonin that had stepped out in front of her. With a solid thump her head collided with the mans vest and she began to fall backwards.

A strong hand placed on Sakura's hip, righted her and she found herself gazing up into the deep, dark, single eye of the man she had hoped to avoid for the next few days.

"Uhhh..." she mumbled, "Sorry Kakashi-Sensei, I wasn't watching where I was going."

The rose that grew on her cheeks made the corners of Kakashi's mouth rise and made his eye crinkle up in the corner a bit.

"No problem Sakura, actually I was looking for you."

Sakura stiffened as panic flooded her body. Had the girls started talking already? No doubt the gossip queen pig had been behind it. That girl couldn't keep her mouth shut.

Kakashi noticed her stiffen under his lingering hand and couldn't help but smile a little, "Sakura, I was wondering..." He began, "Would you go out on a date with me?"

Sakura's bright green eyes widened with shock. This hadn't worked out the way she thought it would, "Wh-what?" she stuttered, confusion evident on her face.

"You see, I kind of pulled your name out this morning. So if you would kindly help me finish my mission I would be grateful."

The look on Sakura's face was straight and unreadable and for a few moments Kakashi was very worried about her. Then all of a sudden, Sakura began laughing. She actually laughed so hard her eyes watered and she doubled over clutching at her ribs.

When she calmed down some Kakashi frowned and scratched the back of his head, "Well I'm glad you found that amusing," he could feel the embarrassment welling up and attempted to squash it down with all his might.

"I-I'm sorry Ka-Ka-Shi Sensei," she said between gasps, "I'm not laughing at you, I swear " she ran a finger under each eye to clear away the tears caused by her fit, "Its just... well... I drew out your name this morning too and I've been panicking about it since."

This was brilliant for her. She would now only have to go on two of these dates rather then four with two different people.

"I see," he said watching her closely.

"Well, that lifts a weight off my shoulders. I'll go on a date with you Kakashi-Sensei, but would you do me a favor?"

Kakashi watched her suspiciously and nodded.

"Ino has... planned, I guess you could say, a group date with Tenten and Hinata as well as their respective dates at the club that just opened down town. Shes organizing outfits and everything, so if your not busy tomorrow night..." Sakura's face grew hot as she waited for a response. The words 'date' and 'Kakashi' just didn't fit together for her, and the idea of him saying no to the group date made her freak out and wonder what else he had planned.

Kakashi chewed on the idea for a few minutes. He already knew everything so his consideration was only an act. He already had everything planned out, and so far everything was going completely according to plan.

That was until the ANBU black op member appeared beside them, making them both jump.

"Lady Hokage wishes to see you both."

Then he disappeared.


As Sakura entered her small apartment, she unzipped her boots and kicked them off so hard they hit the opposing wall with a loud thud. On her way to the kitchen she removed her forehead protector and dumped it on the kitchen counter. The 2 bar stools she had bought to use as kitchen chairs sat against the bench and with a scrap they were dragged along the floor. Today had been tiring. It was originally supposed to be her day off and somehow it turned into this.

After they had received the summons from the ANBU member, Sakura and Kakashi made their way up to the Hokage's Tower, discussing various topics along the way. One of these topics happened to be what time Kakashi was going to pick Sakura up from her home. She fought hard telling him that he didn't have to do that ect ect. However Kakashi continued to push until he got his way.

"Then its settled. I'll pick you up from your apartment at 6pm."

Sakura had only been able to bring herself to grunt in response.

It wasn't long after this had been decided that they reached the Hokage's tower and were shown up to the office of the 5th Hokage herself, Lady Tsunade. However what Tsunade had to tell them didn't please Sakura at all. In fact it made her day so much worse. It now turned out she would have to go on four dates with the copy ninja rather then her originally perceived two. This was because they had drawn out each others names, and to make it fair for everyone else that was made to take part.

Sakura had reluctantly accepted this and when Tsunade had released her she headed home.

Now as she sat on the bar Stool in her very quiet kitchen she realized how big a problem this was going to be. Four dates with Hatake Kakashi. One of the most sought after bachelors in Konoha. People were going to talk. This was going to become very interesting indeed.


WHOOOOO done with this chapter. Enjoy guys!
