Chapter 3: The first mistake

The time passed by without Sasuke being there. He said he'd come back soon but 7 months has passed and the only contact Sakura and him had was with letters. Well, at first.

She was really sad and tended to send a letter 1 time a week, without any respond most of times. She got tired of it and started to send 1 letter every 3 weeks or more.

Anyway, it's not like she was feeling as empty as the first days. she does have a lot of work at the hospital. Tsunade count on her with a lot of stuffs. Naruto is really busy too, way busier than she ever thought he could be, from that little hot-headed boy. She smiled at the thought of Naruto become a great adult. He never failed to be an awesome person at any time in his life. But responsabilities started to knock at his door and he seemed to handle it pretty well contrary to what she thought. About Kakashi... Welll, they're spending pretty much time together since that day. Hanging out with him wasn't new, but this one defenitely felt different, it felt good to know someone was by her side. Kakashi's fun to hang out with and he doesn't complain when she's talking too much. And Sakura can't lie to herself, she's pretty conscious that she's talking wayyy too much. She used to be a bit embarrassed when she realized that the first month all she had to talk about was Sasuke. But he never said a thing about that. Well he mocked her, but even if she was making the pouting face, she couldn't help but laugh.

Sakura POV.

The door was ringing, i went to open it and found Kakashi right in front of me.

" Yo Sakura, i was wondering if you had time today.

- Yes of course, what is it?

- Well i'm a bit bothered to implicate you like that but i'm really annoyed. Tsunade gave me tasks.

I laughed, - Wow, you're getting old Kakashi!

- I-..., he blushed of frustration, Tsunade asked me to take care of children from the academy, i tried to argue that i was a ninja not a babysitter and then..., he did a facepalm, ...You know how Tsunade can be.

i giggled, - Well well.. i don't understand why you have to do that while Iruka is there.

He pointed his finger at me, - exactly! and that's when the problem starts, because Iruka is sick. And try to guess who this son of a- Iruka told Tsunade to implicate of taking care of children for two days?

- you?

- Yes! But i never had children to take care of and... Well... Maybe, you as a generous woman could help, he showed himself with his finger, this desperate man.

- Let me think if i have anything to do today... Or beg me? " i looked mischievously at him.

He took a serious look, walked into the house to have his face right in front of me, having his face really close to mine, i could feel his gaze while he gave me his advice

" You won't have me on my knees for you, Sakura, you're taking this way too far, i'm the older teacher here... remember? "

I was feeling my cheeks burn and my breathing was getting faster than it ever did, i was paralyzed by his presence.

" Ye-ye-yeah... " i gulped. He then took a step back and smiled. " then i guess it means you are fine with helping me? "

" it-It's not like i could say no.., i tried to look somewhere else to not focus on him anymore, you look very desperate."

We went to the school. There was a substitute teacher but it didn't seem like she could handle the kids. they were noisy and annoying i couldn't help but scream at them once and for all. They kept calm after that, playing less loudly. I had nothing to do there, i was just a backup for Kakashi when he needs anything...

" Sakura it's crying what should i do ! " he said running to me with a child in his arms. i settled it down. He was not good at all and that was laughable.

Normal POV

There was a lot going on Sakura's mind that she didn't realized yet. She was having fun but fun isn't all.

She was helping Kakashi with the Children tasks, actually after she showed Kakashi how to handle kids, she just sat down on a bench. She could watch over him and... eventually run to him if something was really messed up.

There was a moment since Kakashi didn't ask for Sakura's help. She could enjoy the sunlight. That day was a really sunny and beautiful.

She took a look at everything around her, but then she just stopped. She watched Kakashi play with some little boys, running around, catching them... Laughing... Something about his smiling eyes made her stare. He took a look at her as well and realized she was looking right at him, even if she seemed like daydreaming, he took the chance to wave at her. She sat up straight and realized she was staring, then smiled and waved back at him with a grin on her face.

...

" Sakura, should i walk you home?

- ye-yeah thanks Kakashi." they started to walk.

- I'm the one who should thank you, i wouldn't have make it if it wasn't thanks to you.

Sakura blushed - Oh it-it was really nothing you know...

- Stop being so humble, you make a great job. Where did you learn to handle kids though?

- Well, i guess Naruto? he's like a little kid don't you think ? She laughed

- I wouldn't talk like that about our future Hokage" he said that with a serious look

Sakura didn't know what to say anymore she felt a bit bad but didn't want to admit it, she was searching for something to say but couldn't find anything as her cheeks were turning pink from the shame. Kakashi took a look at her and started to giggle

" Sakura, it was a joke."

She turned her head to him with red cheeks, giving him a glance before she made a pout and crossed her arms from frustration. On the same moment they reached the front door.

" Are you going to sulk forever? " Sakura didn't want to answer, she was playing with Kakashi and just wanted him to say sorry for making her look like a dork. She opened the door and entered her house.

" Bye bye Kakashi " She said while closing the door but she didn't expect him to stop the door with his hand. She turned around from surprise to find Kakashi's face really close to hers. She blushed really hard but didn't step back.

" I guess bye bye means yes i'm sulking forever. " he said with a serious look on his face again.

" Hm-hmmm... " She couldn't help but look at his lips multiple times moving inside his mask, she could sense every movements his mouth did while speaking, it was like something was attracting her.

He took a step back " For punishment you will give me a drink. This way you'll have to see me even more while you play the little mute girl "

Sakura just nodded, she didn't know what to do, she felt warm and didn't want him to go anyway. Kakashi sat down while Sakura was making tea. He was enjoying the tease. He smiled looking at her preparing the tea from afar. When it was ready, she just came back and poured the tea in the glass in front of Kakashi. She did as well for herself.

" So, still trying to keep it silent, Sakura ? " He said while he was looking at her, his hand under his chin. Sakura felt really weird inside, she didn't want to speak but she loved to hear him talk. He took off his smask to sip his tea while she was just staring at him, almost forgetting her own beverage. She would stare at his mouth moving on every word. She didn't realize but he finished his tea by the time she was gazing.

" Ok, i did get my drink and you're still silent, so i guess all i'm left to do is go back home "

He got up and as soon as he was going to walk away, she got up as well, all she could see was his back when she put her hands on his shoulder.

" No-wait "

He turned around to face her and again they were pretty close. They both were sharing an intense gaze before they broke it to kiss passionately. He put his hands in her back to keep her close while she was playing with his hair and their tongue were moving at pace. He blocked her on the wall while they were taking off their clothes one by one...

...And after she gave her first time to him. She knew she did wrong.
