"I..." Kakashi was coughing in between his words.
"Iloveyou" He said it too fast.
"What?" Sakura couldn't hear what he had said, he was speaking too fast.
"I mean... What a view!" Sakura sunk horribly, she expected something more than what a view.
"I like you." Kakashi frankly told her. Sakura's eyes remained, she stoned for a while.
"Actually I kinda knew you did... Your actions were a little too obvious weren't they?" Sakura told him. True, Kakashi couldn't hide things very well, not his emotions, thats why when something cropped up he would always disappear from sight and only until he was done with his quiet time then he would make his appearance again, usually in his usual slouchy manner.
"..." Kakashi was staring outside of the window, What a view... he said.
"Well cute puppy face, it's not really in my place to say this but, I think you deserve a chance at me for all you've done." Sakura smiled slyly. Sure, she didn't mind being with Kakashi.
"Perhaps when you recover, we'll talk about it. For now, just get better." Kakashi then disappeared. Sakura sunk horribly again, this time she sorta puffed back against her pillows. Sakura wondered why Kakashi kept looking out of the window. She turned her head towards it and realised so.
"What a view..." She whispered under her breath.
Meanwhile...
"Itachi, I'm reassigning you with the same mission. This time spy on her, make sure she has fully recovered. And I want her back, with no injuries, clean of anything. Do you hear me?"
"Wakata[understood, Orochimaru-Sama."
"And don't forget, you are indebted to me. I saved your neck while you were fighting with that Kakashi, do not fail me this time or the punishments will be severe" Orochimaru then licked his lips with his dreadful tongue. He had been spying secretly on Sakura. Oh how he longed for her, never tried to really harm her at all. Her beauty had taken over his consciousness, he loved to have her here, only she might not want him here. A deal, he was prepared to make. Hard deal, painful to him, but worst for her. He hoped she still clung to that thought, for without that emotion, his plans would not succeed.
He stared at the pale moonlight again, wondering why a fifty year old legendary sannin, who was an exiled ninja, loved a seventeen year old medic nin. History seemed to repeat itself, she was like Tsunade, except much better than her. As he admired the pale moonlight, words escape and formed on his lips,
"What a view..."
A week later...
"Can I go now! My wound is gone! I'm OK! For the ninth hundred and ninety-ninth time!" Sakura shouted at the medic nin. They weren't too convinced about her wound healing so fast but in actual fact, Sakura had healed herself too. Only they didn't know. Tsunade knew what Sakura did and grinned, she always knew Sakura couldn't stay in one place forever. Tsunade made her appearance in Sakura's room.
"You guys stop fretting over her already. She's healed as you can see." Tsunade ordered the medic nins but one spoke up.
"But a deep wound like that wouldn't heal in one week! It's like a strange phenomenon! We need to run tests!" At the word of tests Sakura's eyes widened.
"Well, Sakura, how about telling them what you've been doing all this while?" Ouch, Tsunade-Sama knew of her healing herself moments.
"Erm... Err... You see eh, I was very... very bored you see and I err... I err... sorta healed myself?" The medic nins gasped.
"You doubted our abilities?"
"No! It wasn't like that but I wanted to get out of the hospital fast! You have no idea, the pain and suffering of a little pink-haired girl who has to stay in bed all day! Imagine the horror of stoning!" Sakura was fumbling with her words, she really wanted to get out. She was looking at Tsunade with pleading eyes.
"Under the orders of me, the Hokage, I thereby announce that Sakura is healthy and ready to be discharged. No questions will be answered, no comments will be entertained!" Tsunade had a certain sharpness in her tone. With that, she left the room. Sakura was hitting the air in triumph. Now she can go outside and taste the fresh air! But of course she needed to go back home and clear some stuff up.
The medic nins apparently had a certain look of disappointment, they had actually thought Sakura was going through a strange phenomenon of fast-regeneration. Sakura danced, hopped and skipped home. She was almost too happy to be free. As she reached her room door, she noticed a piece of paper stuck the door. A note probably. As she read it she raised an eyebrow in excitement.
The note read as follows:
Sakura,
On the day you're discharged please meet me seven pm at Ichiraku Ramen, I have lots to discuss with you!
Signed,
Naruto.
As Sakura read it, a certain feeling of disappointment came. She expected the last word to be Kakashi, not Naruto. But she couldn't possibly refuse right? Naruto was her good friend. But before she unlocked the door, she noticed ANOTHER note.
Sakura, I know that you'll be having dinner with Naruto today, so could you please meet me ten pm at the bar for a drink?
Signed,
Cute puppy face
Sakura's heart almost jumped in excitement. Kakashi admitted he was 'cute puppy face'. After giggling for about a few seconds she unlocked her door and to her surprise, found her place to be extremely clean, cleaner than before.
"That's strange..." Sakura read both notes carefully again and found that on the back of Kakashi's note, there was a P.S.
Oh yeah I helped clean up your room while you were gone
Sakura was shocked. Who would actually go this far for a girl! She smirked and plopped gently on her bed. She found it extremely comfortable, probably because she had to endure a week's worth of sleeping on rock hard beds. It was already five pm, she had two more hours for dinner with Naruto and five more hours for a drink with Kakahi. She decided a short nap would and she fell asleep, not knowing that the original ten ANBU members who were guarding her at the hospital were near here, disguising at the windows, door, bathroom, bed, wall, around the building, they were following the Hokage's orders, protect her twenty four hours round the clock.
At about six fourty-five, Sakura's alarm bell rang. She opened her eyes slowly and her eyes adjusted to the bright lighting. Somebody had turned on the lights. Sakura immediately got up and took the Kunai she kept always under her pillow. As her mind raced back, she realised why. Slowly she put down her weapon and she said out loud
"You know, my stuff aren't for you to touch, even if you are ANBU."
A voice soon replied, " It was dark, you don't expect us to watch out for you in the dark" But another voice soon replied to that voice,
"Idiot Yamato, we ARE supposed to watch out for her from everywhere, even in the dark, you're damn pampered." Sakura confused slightly, but all the more, she shrugged and got herself neatened up. After that she left her room and locked it up. She then headed to Ichiraku's Ramen to meet Naruto. As she approached her destination, she saw an orange figure and she knew it was Naruto. Naruto waved at her, a gesture of saying hi.
"Mushi mushi Naruto-kun!"
"Haha hey Sakura-chan! How have you been?"
"Better than ever. I got so much to tell you!"
"Haha ok but dinner's my treat!"
When Sakura heard 'dinner's my treat' she almost gasped too loudly.
"You're finally treating me! When did you get the cash! You always ask me out and I have to end up paying for your bills!"
Naruto just grinned widely and sat down.
"Ano, Old man! Give me the usual and give Sakura THAT ramen!" Sakura wondered why Naruto referred the ramen as THAT ramen. Ichiraku grinned and whipped up two bowls of different ramen. He served the both of them and said, "Enjoy!"
Sakura looked at the 'weird' concoction before her. She had doubts, like whether it was poisoned or not.
"Itadakimasu! Sakura, don't worry it's not poison! Just try it out!" Naruto urged her to do so.
Sakura slowly picked up her chopsticks and dipped into the ramen. It gave off a lavender kind of smell, which was unusual because lavenders were never in a recipe before. She lifted her noodle up and put it in her mouth. Seconds later she had a very happy expression. As she slurped up her noodles, she told Naruto,
"There's dango taste in the ramen! How did you do it! And there's a lavender smell to it... Tell me all about it!"
Naruto explained to her that he took the lavenders for Ichiraku and bought some Dangos from Sakura's favorite Dango shop. Ichiraku had carefuly squeezed the tiny petals dry of their source of the nice smell, the water in the petals. Although it was hard, Ichiraku could do it with his culinary skills, he then filtered the natural fragrant water and cooked it with the noodles. But the noodles were the special ones. Because Dango's were made of almost the same ingredients, Ichiraku mashed the dango up until it was puree form and mixed it with the noodles and made sure the taste was evenly spread out. He then cooked it with his usual ramen soup with the fragrant water. The result was simply fantastic. Although the noodles gave out a weird colour.
Sakura enjoyed her meal thoroughly and told Naruto of the phenomenon incident at the hospital. She also told him about the ANBU members. Naruto was worried for Sakura, knowing Itachi might be back.
"Sakura-chan... If anything happens, just speak into this necklace. This necklace, as you know, was given to me by Tsunade. What others see is just a mere necklace from the First Hokage but it is not just a necklace. The stone has actually telepathic powers, which you can communicate through it with the previous owner. You also heard that if others wear it, they will die. But not unless the previous owners wants them to. So right now, I wanna give you this necklace. And if anything happens, just talk into the stone like you want it to, then the message will be transmitted to me. Otherwise, I won't hear anything else" With that Naruto untied the necklace and gave it to Sakura and helped her wear it.
"Thanks Naruto!" by that time it was already nine-thirty. And Sakura had something on at ten. It would take about thirty minutes to reach the bar. So Sakura told Naruto that she had something on and she left Ichiraku. She loved the dinner so much, it was probably the best ramen she had ever tasted, with her favorite Dango mixed with the noodle in perfect proportions, it turned out great.
Sakura sped a little. It did take thirty minute to reach the bar provided she walked fast enough. She looked at her watch, twenty-five minutes had passed and she had only five minutes left. She was still three blocks away. This time she ran, worried she might be late. As she ran her eyes focused on the ground, she had wanted to do something also. She had been trying to train to run and navigate by sound. She would as she ran, focus her eyes on the floor and occasionally drag her feet a little so that the echoeing sounds will bounce back and the sound will project an image on her brain to help her navigate. It was hard but she thought that as she ran, she could train too. But her training was a failure because as she was reaching the doorstep she bumped hard into someone and bounced back, making her lose her balance and fall.
Except she didn't quite fall. Someone held out their hand on her back so she would land on it, and the person helped her up.
"My my, if it isn't Sakura. Didn't you know? Nobody runs with their eyes on the ground." That familiar voice made her look up.
"Eeek! Sorry I thought I would be late!" Kakashi grinned. He had been waiting by the entrace and saw her in the distance running in a funny way, looking down while running.
"How about a little advice? Don't look down on the floor, shut your eyes. It's easier to focus on the sound." Sakura was shocked. How did he know that she was trying to do that!
"Ok enough with pondering how I know. Let's get inside." Kakashi kept his hands to himself. He remind himself too that no touchy touchy tonight! They sat at a nearby table and Kakashi ordered Sake. Sakura just ordered a lemonade soda pop.
Kakashi was slightly uncomfortable. He could feel the ANBU presence all around him. It was rather irritating, but he had no choice either. Sakura herself was irritated. She needed to break the silence so badly. Did he not know that girls have to talk practically every second of their lives!
"So...how was dinner?" Sakura asked Kakashi.
"I didn't have any." Sakura raised an eyebrow. To have alcohol on an empty stomach increased the corrosion rate of the stomach walls. She quickly snatched Kakahi's sake before he could take it to drink.
"You're not having any until you eat." Kakashi scowled. Seeing that his Sake was at stake, he ordered a few plates of sushi. He ate all of them up. That was when Sakura scoffed in satisfaction and gave him back his Sake.
"Gaa! My Sake!" Kakashi took it willingly and drank it slowly, as if savouring it like he had never tasted it before.
"Hey umm... Thanks for clearing up my room..."
"It's a cute puppy face's job to do that while his cherry blossom is whining away at the hospital."
"Since when did I become yours!" Sakura scowled. It was mean of Kakashi.
"Since when was I cute puppy face?" Kakashi smiled at her, but she couldn't see the smile, not under his mask.
"How about we take a walk?" Kakashi offered. Sakura simply nodded and waited for him to pay the bill. Kakashi walked with her through the park and a series of trails he was leading her to. Although at first he did promise himself 'no touchy touchy' but he couldn't resist. His hands slowly but carefully touched Sakura's as a gesture that he would like to hold her hand. Sakura gave in and Kakashi held hers tightly. Sakura looked up at him and did not see any falter in expression, partly because he had his mask on, another because his eyes were always so slouchy looking.
"Could you take off that mask? There aren't any other girls to chase you around and its night time, who would go hunting for guys at night!"
"Prostitutes?" But whatever it was, he took off the mask for her, just for that one night, and perhaps many other nights he thought.
Sakura loved his face, he was handsome, the pale moonlight shone on his face, emitting a bright glow about him. Somehow she loved tonight, it seemed like a great night.
"Listen Sakura, you know if you aren't ready, we can take things slow. You know, it's like weird because I'm your sensei but things are like twisting?" Sakura merely shrugged and replied,
"We'll see how things go first" As if Kakashi's mind took over his body, he swooped down to kiss her. His hands trailed from her hands to her waist, pulling her closer to him into a much more passionate kiss. Sakura though shocked at first, soon gave in and submitted. After all, she thought Kakashi deserved a chance to win her. Sakura gently broke the kiss and not knowing what to do she just simply walked on. Kakashi stood there motionless. Had he just done what he promised he wouldn't do! He went touchy touchy! Kakashi smacked his face and dragged his hand down his face, so stupid of me...
Seeing that Sakura was walking off he skipped a few steps and caught up with her. Soon a view came into sight and Sakura's head went sideways, as though puzzled.
"Isn't this our first training grounds?" Kakashi nodded in reply. Sakura skipped towards the three wooden posts and grinned. It was the middle post where Naruto was tied up to, and Sasuke had offered him food. The place where they had the bells test. A few months back they had the same bells test and this time they managed to retrieve it.
Kakashi then suddenly kneeled down before her, and took out a small box. There he opened it up before her and Sakura's eyes twinkled with shock and excitement.
"Will you be mine?" Sakura, lost for words, stoned for a moment. But soon she nodded her head in agreement. Kakashi was mentally dancing with triumph. He took out the necklace from the box and helped put it on for Sakura, and then he hugged her tightly.
"I won't let harm get to you again... I promise..."
These words repeated and echoed in a joyful and tearful Sakura. Tears of joy...
"I promise..."
