Chapter Four

Disclaimer: Once again, I've forgotten the disclaimer
I do not own Naruto or any of the characters. I think I forgot the disclaimer in the last story as well.

A/n: Inner Sakura will be in this chapter, maybe future chapters as well . So she will appear in bold.

Run girl, run. He's catching up. And we both know you'd love him to catch you.
Now is not the time for you to pop up and distract me, I'm trying to concentrate.

Seeing as I'm you, we are both trying to concentrate.
Now is not the time to get smart either.
No my fault that we're smart.
After all this time, I really need to you be quite now.
Suite yourself.
I will.

Damn it, there I was with a gloating silver haired jounin pinning me to a tree. Not the most attractive spot to be pinned to, guess I'll have to compromise. I just stare at him, but not a obvious stare so that my eyes are popping out. A give in to me stare sort of thing. He slowly moves is arms away from the tree, letting me move until he saw the slight grin on my face as I was about to move, and pinned me back into the tree. Damn my smile.

"I don't think so, that stare wont work on me,"

"Give it time, it will," I winked at him.

"Will it now,"

"Hell yeah!" Now, I was going to take advantage of the situation, I moved my body closer to his. So we were touching and he looked down at me. I'd love to able to read his mind, so many secrets he must hold. I whispered next in his ear in the softest tone I could "You never did tell me what would happen if I lost the bet," He loosened me against the tree, and I was gone in a scatter of petals. I managed to get myself a good distance away, I turned my head around to see if he was gone, yet he was still there in his original position. At least five minuets and yet no sign of Kakashi, which is unusual. I made my way to the hokage monuments, the sun was slowly setting. A wonderful sight. Now I actually get the chance to relax and think about my feelings.

So… Kakashi the new love interest?
What the…?
So he is then.
Well… you should know.
Yeah, but say it.
Say what?

Don't get cocky, you know what you have to say.
Kakashi…I'm not even sure what I feel for him, infatuation, lust, or maybe…
Say it… if I was real I'd hit you by now.
I don't think it is.
Damn it. Just say it all ready.
Shut up.
Not until you say it
…
JUST BLOODY SAY IT.

"YEAH SO WHAT IF I MIGHT LOVE HIM!" I shouted, but I think it was a bit too loud.

"So…who do you love then?" Damn it, I would of preferred it if Naruto or Sasuke were behind me. But noooo it had to be Kakashi didn't it?

"Why are you so interested?"

"Aren't I supposed to be?"

"Well, no actually,"

"You're saying a friend shouldn't be interested in another friend's love life?"

"Depends on what part," I finally turned around and looked at him, giving him a small smile

"As I was asking, who do you love?"

"I'm not telling you and no, it's not you," Why did it hurt so much to say that? I blinked and in a puff of smoke, he was gone. Did I do something?

A beautiful sunset turned into rain, it was coming down pretty damn hard. I couldn't even move myself, I was frozen on the spot. This feeling inside of me, it's something I've never felt before. There was this urge to go and see him, but my body wouldn't move. I managed to turn around and look at Konoha, even astounding in the rain. Standing there in the rain wasn't the most appealing thing to do, but it was calming. And even though I was drenched right the way through to my skin, I didn't care. I just had to see him. I made my way slowly to Kakashi's apartment, but I just couldn't make myself go there. I slowly pushed myself to go up there. I knocked on the door lightly, but he still heard it because he opened the door.

"What do you want Sakura?"

"I-I-I-I … errrr ," Was I blushing? I could feel my face going red, but before I knew it, my arms were around his waist. Was he going to return my embrace? Before I knew it, his arms were around my neck and he gently pushed my head against his chest, he pulled me in softly and shut the door. He let go of me and sat down on his sofa waiting for me to join him, I nervously sat down next to him. Why am I nervous? I'd love to know.

"You're shivering, why were you out in the rain?" His voice was just above a whisper. He starting playing with my pink tresses.

"If I knew the answer to that question, I'd tell you," I looked up at him and smiled "I'm shivering because I'm cold, thought you'd work that out,"

He delicately pulled me closer to him again, with me wrapped in his arms. It was so comfy here, his body heat making my own body feel warm and tingly inside. I never wanted to let go of this feeling ever again. I was worn out, getting more tired by the second. So there I was snuggled against my old sensei, and enjoying it. That sounded so wrong, but felt so right.

"Sakura," Annoying voice… go away "Psst, Sakura wake up,"

"Five more minuets," My words slurred out.

"You're gunna be late for your hospital shift if you don't wake up,"

I was immediately up for this, I remembered where I was. In Kakashi's apartment, on his sofa. CRAP, I SPENT THE NIGHT HERE!

"DAMN IT!" I shouted. I shot up. Kakashi was sat there laughing at me.

"Need something?" He asked

"Yeah, can I used your shower and can you go back to my place and get me some clean clothes?"

He looked away for a moment, "Err sure, keys?"

I threw my keys at him and made my way to his shower. Only a quick one today, plus I didn't want to smell like a man. I shoved my hair into a messy bun and waited for Kakashi to come back with clothes. It was a good couple of minuets so I wondered out with a towel wrapped around myself to see where he was. As soon as I left the safely of the bathroom he came back. He slowly came towards me and gave me my clothes then turned away. I ran back into the bathroom and I could hear him chuckle to himself. He brought me my jounin uniform, and matching black bra & panties. Typical. I shoved my clothes on and made my way to the hospital. "Thank-you!" I ran out of his apartment.

"Nearly late again Sakura," The receptionist Kata said with a smile.

"Nearly isn't the same as me actually being late," I smiled back at her.

"Ahh Sakura, your first job is to give old man Kaden a sponge bath," Another medical nin came down the hall, Saskia

"You're joking me,"

"Nope,"

Today was going to be a long day.

Today just dragged on and on and on, I'll have nightmares because of that old man, I don't even want to think about it now. I was more than happy to get out the hospital when my shift finished. I wonder if they have those nice muffins at the bakery today…Wouldn't hurt to see if there was any, making my way swiftly to the bakery when something silver and spiky came into view.

"You look like you've seen a ghost,"

"Well… how would you feel if you had to give an old man a spo-, never mind," I smiled at him

"Ooooh, can I have one?" He grinned under his mask

"I'm not going to give you one, but this rather large nurse has a thing for you. She'd give you one," I playfully poked him in the stomach.

"Where are you off to then?"

"I'm in the mood for some muffins, you coming?" I slowly walked off

"Sure,"

We were only moments away, but why did it feel as if it took hours? Now when I stand next to him, I go all warm and weak at the knees. Whenever I'm away from him, my heart aches so much. I've just had a thought, if he goes on one of his long missions, what will that feel like? Torture maybe? I snapped back into reality and realised I was outside with a muffin in my hand.

"You owe me," I heard voice

"Owe you for what?" I looked at him, yup I'm confused

"The muffin, you were too much in a dream world I had to pay for it,"

I grabbed hold of his arm and gave it a small squeeze. "Thank-you Kaka-sensei, I knew you loved me more," I winked at him

It was a small whisper but I heard something like "Yeah I do,"

I didn't let go of his arm, I just held it. We carried on walking through Konoha, we just happened to see Naruto & Sasuke on they way. They are never separated these days, unless Naruto is with Hinata.

"KAKA-SENSEI! LET GO OF HER!" Naruto…

"If you look more closely Naruto, I haven't got hold of Sakura, she has hold of me," I quickly let go "Sakura, you were keeping my arm nice and warm,"

"Haha.. Not funny," Earned him a small jab in the stomach.

"Where are you two going then?" Sasuke kept staring at me

"Oh, we were of to the river for a make out session, wanna come?" Teasing them was so much fun

"Kaka-sensei…you're not really. Are you?" Naruto glared at Kakashi

"Hmm, wanna come?" Smiling under his mask

"Now, if you don't mind, we're going," I grabbed Kakashi's arm again and pulled him away, to the direction of the river.

We were out of sight so I let go and couldn't help myself but blush, "I'm gunna go now, I'll see you later,"

"Aww, and I was looking forward to our make out session,"

"Haha… but you can have a hug," I wrapped my arms around his waist, while his arms went around my neck. I couldn't help but look up at him, this was getting comfy, too comfy. I let go and in a scatter of petals I was gone, leaving him a lone. Again.

A thank-you to Meg, always trying to un-distract me and make me write my chapters. I really appreciate it. The girl is awesome and is a superb author. I wrote my chapter four, time to write yours.
