I do not own Naruto.

This is for Kakasaku week on Tumblr.

(Please, forgive any mistakes; I'm not used to write in English!)

Day 4- Public dissaprovment

"I'm such an idiot", she said. "A stupid masochist."

She didn't realize someone was following her. As she continued to curse herself, the one in her thoughts watched every step of hers.

"I'm such an idiot", he said. "A stupid masochist."

Why couldn't she like someone normal? Someone reachable? Her first love, her teammate, was an emo avenger with a superiority complex. She loved him for so many years, and when she finally thought she was free, she just had to go and fall in love again. For her teacher.

He really thought he as free. He had spent so many years trying to avoid this. To display emotions, to feel these emotions, to fall in love. But then, how did this happen? How could he fall in love? For his student.

They walked, thinking about how bad their situation was. If, by some miracle, their affections were returned, nobody would accept them. Kakashi knew how it was to be looked down. People would say bad things about him, about her. He didn't want this for the woman he loved.

Sakura thought about everything her sensei went through. Being a kid during war, watching his teammate die in his first jounin mission, losing his sensei… Now, he was a highly respected ninja, and she didn't want him to suffer, because of her. She didn't want this for the man she loved.

"Yo, Sakura-chan, Kakashi sensei!"

They both jumped when the Hokage-to-be called them. They were walking side-by-side, but were so immersed in their thoughts that missed it. They looked at the boy, so happy with his Hyuuga girlfriend, they envied him. Why couldn't they have the same happiness their friend had?

Shyly, they looked at each other.

And went separate ways.

They knew they couldn't be together.

Later, Naruto went to Kakashi's place. He needed to talk to his teacher about something very important. Something that was bothering him. A lot.

The jounin was surprised by his student question.

"Why are you afraid, sensei?"

"Why are you afraid, Sakura-chan?"

The blond made the question to his best friend. She was surprised he knew.

"Everybody knows how you feel about each other. What are you waiting for? Go get her!"

"But… people may say bad things… about us…about her…"

"And you're afraid of that?" The blond shouted. "Does it really matter that much for you?"

"We're ninja, Sakura-chan! We may die tomorrow. We can die today! Will you let someone you love go just because of what people may say? You are more than that, Sakura-chan."

Naruto's visit was everything he needed to open his eyes. He sighed… he was being so stupid. He loved her. That was enough.

He was going to talk to her tomorrow. Yeah.

Kakashi was, again, surprised by a visitor.

"S-sakura… What…hmmm"

He couldn't finish his question. Actually, he couldn't even remember what the question was, as he got caught in a kiss.

A little of Naruto's wisdom, ok?

Day 5 and 6 will be posted on Saturday.
