Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto

Kakashi sat lazily on the sofa, picking at the shorts covering slim legs. He watched Sakura rearrange gray looks in a mirror. He sighed loudly and deliberately. Sakura tipped her head to the left and swept agile fingers through the silver fringe.

Kakashi sighed again, and stared at her.

'What?' She asked still preening herself in the mirror.

'Sakura I never knew you were so fascinated with my appearance.' Kakashi stated blandly. Sakura blushed immediately and spun away from the mirror.

'Actually, I was trying to make this state look acceptable.' She replied tersely, trying to hide the growing blush. The last thing she wanted was for Kakashi to catch on just how much she adored looking at him.

Kakashi raised an eye brow, before closing his eyes and letting his head fall back against the back of the sofa. Sakura flopped down beside him.

'You really should invest in a good conditioner you know. It'll do wonders for this mop of yours.'

He gave a soft humph in response, and Sakura rolled mismatched eyes.

'Don't be boring.' She pouted, placing a hand on a slim arm.

'I'm being boring, because I am bored.' He stated slowly, still refusing to open his eyes.

'Can't we go out?' He asked, voice holding a slight whine.

Sakura bit her lip, she did want to get out of the apartment, but she didn't want to risk going outside. They would be both better off staying inside, so nobody would know of their embarrassing predicament.

'I don't think it's such a good idea.' She mumbled, feeling a little guilty she was keeping Kakashi prisoner.

'Aw come on.' He answered sitting up, to fix her with a pleading look.

'We can't, we've told everyone were ill. If we get seen they'll ask questions.' Sakura replied trying to avoid Kakashi's gaze. Kakashi looked thoughtful for a moment, before speaking again.

'What if we go somewhere nobody will see us?'

Sakura allowed herself a moment to visualize places where no one would see them.

'Like where?'

Kakashi allowed a smile to creep onto feminine features.

'Our training ground. Nobody is using it, no ones going to use it today, it's perfect.'

Sakura's heart plummeted slightly. A trip to the training fields usually resulted in training. And Sakura was definitely not up to training, not when she was so down, and not when she was in someone else's body. She was about to give a sharp no when she looked at Kakashi's expression.

She was met with a pleading puppy dog eyes, and she felt her heart stings being successfully pulled. He was using her own sad face against her, and it was working. Another few moments of the pout and her resolve crumbled.

'Ohh fine.' She sighed throwing her hands up.

Kakashi looked sufficiently pleased with himself, and Sakura turned to regard him.

'I can't believe you used my own pout against me.' She mumbled into fingerless gloves.

'Well, I just remember how effective it's been in the past.' He said happily making his way to the door. Sakura sighed before following him.

'Ah, see fresh air does you good.'

Sakura threw an unimpressed look to Kakashi, before sitting down in the shade of a tree. Kakashi moved to stand infront of her.

Now now, we didn't come out here for you to sit and be gloomy.'

Sakura looked up at her body.

'If you think I'm training, think again.' She answered huffily.

Kakashi regarded her silently for a moment, before he quirked his lips into a smile.

'Don't worry I get it, your probably right.' He said.

'Right about what?' Sakura snapped, squinting the lone, dark eye to watch him in the sunlight.

'Right about not being able to handle my abilities, it's perfectly normal, I mean I am amazing.'

Even though Kakashi was being deliberately conceited, and arrogant, the comment still got to her.

'I was thinking more along the lines that it wouldn't be worth my time, you know testing your second hand abilities.' She answered smugly.

Kakashi's grin widened.

'Really?'

'Really'

The two stared each other out, Kakashi with a grin and Sakura trying to keep a smile creeping onto her face.

'I guess it wouldn't be fair, getting beaten by your own body, now that would be really embarrassing.' Kakashi said shrugging small shoulders.

'I could say the same for you.' Sakura answered calmly.

'Besides, I bet you wouldn't last 10 minutes anyway.'

Sakura did rise to that one.

'Alright, you want a fight, your going to get one.' She said rising to her feet, she slowly slipped into a fighting stance.

'I hope you've been watching me closely over the years. Otherwise, you'll have no idea what you're doing.' Kakashi said slowly, Sakura tried to dislodge the heavy feeling that it was a warning.

'Same to you sensei.' She answered a little less confidently.

It was then Kakashi sprang into action, aiming a chakra laden fist at Sakura's body. Sakura let out a small eep, before her body seemed to react automatically flipping backwards in a neat well practiced back flip.

She landed and looked shocked; she had never been able to do gymnastic moves without thinking about them before.

'It appears, we don't keep our learned abilities, only the body we are in learned abilities.' Kakashi stated.

It made sense, just because Sakura knew how to manipulate chakra to make it a powerful weapon, didn't mean Kakashi's body knew how to. After all, it had taken a lot of practice on Sakura's part to get her body accustomed to her techniques.

'Ready?' He asked.

Sakura nodded, and Kakashi lunged again. She dodged to the side just as Kakashi's fist met with the tree behind her. The wood splintered, and the tree swayed before collapsing to the side. She watched as a slightly pained expression danced through green eyes.

'Hurts the first few times, guess I should have warned you, sorry.'

Sakura didn't sound in the least bit sorry, and smirked wickedly at Kakashi who was nursing bruised knuckles. The smirk quickly faded as Kakashi unleashed another barrage of punches and kicks.

Sakura dodged as best as she could, only being struck slightly once or twice. As she dodged and weaved, she ran through memories of fights in her head. She needed to think of the advantages and disadvantages Kakashi held.

She ran through the advantages first. Kakashi was tall; this had proved beneficial more than once, as he could strike at opponents from a safe distance which they could not counter from. Looking at her frame which stood at only 5'7, she could definitely employ this advantage.

Advantage number two, Kakashi was lean and built for speed and endurance. Although he isn't particularly strong, due to his speed he could wear the strongest of opponents down. This speed also meant he could dodge without much trouble, making opponents miss and become tired.

Advantage number two, Kakashi was particularly skilled in more gymnastic maneuvers than Sakura wished to think about. The amount of times she had seen his lithe body contort into almost impossible moves was far too often to count.

These were the main advantages Sakura could think of at that moment. She was sure there would be more. Besides being a genius and just amazingly skilled at, ninjutsu, taijutsu and genjutsu.

The disadvantages were that Kakashi isn't particularly strong. Now he had adapted to this a learned a fighting style that suite being less strength based. Sakura however, had learnt a style fighting completely based on strength.

Another disadvantage was the fear of exhaustion due to the Sharingan. To tell the truth Sakura was far to terrified to even attempt to wield that weapon. The Sharingan scared her far too much for her to think she would be capable of using it.

The only other disadvantage she could think of right then was his love for porn. She fondly remembered her and Naruto using his love of Icha Icha to win the bell test last time. But some how she didn't think that would work again.

'Are you going to actually try to hit me sometime today?' Kakashi drawled, catching his breath momentarily.

'I'm just waiting for the right moment to strike, then BAM you won't see it coming.' Sakura replied rearranging her shirt sleeves.

'Bam?'

Sakura looked up to see the small quirk on pink lips.

'Yes bam.'

'Alright then, I better be prepared for this, erm bam.' Kakashi replied slipping into a fighting stance once again.

He didn't give Sakura long to respond before he started the steady barrage of kicks and punches. Sakura was finding herself getting into a comfortable rhythm of dodging, that's when it happened. The bam, except much to Sakura's dismay it wasn't her who instigated it.

She let out a small eep as a chakara filled fist connected with her jaw, quickly followed by a swift kick to the gut. She landed on the floor with a dull thud, one hand clutching her jaw and the other on her stomach.

'I do believe that was a BAM.' Kakashi smirked triumphantly down at her. Sakura glared to best her ability as she gasped for air.

'Ok ouch.' She wheezed looking up at him. She watched as the tiniest bit of guilt pulled at feminine features.

'Now you know what it feels like.' He said with an amused tone.

'I'll get you for that.' She mumbled slowly picking herself off the floor. How had she missed that?

'You know if you used the Sharingan you would have been able to see that, and dodge it.' Kakashi drawled.

Sakura froze; he was giving her permission to use his greatest weapon. But did she really want to use it, was it worth it?

'I don't know…'

'You may as well, otherwise you're going to struggle.'

Sakura didn't know whether that was meant to be a compliment about her bodies abilities, or a dig at her ineptness to use his abilities to their fullest. She quickly decided it was probably a dig, he rarely ever used his Sharingan when sparing with her, and he usually reserved it for training with Naruto or Saskue.

She really was at a loss, it was true that the Sharingan fascinated her; it had ever since he used it against Zabuza. But as much as it intrigued her and how much she wished to understand its inner workings, it did scare her. She struggled silently for another few moments.

'Trust me.' Kakashi stated firmly.

Those two words made up her mind, and she nodded reaching for the headband. It was worrying how much trust she had in him, if ever he said trust me she would do about anything.

It seemed weird being able to see through both eyes again, everything seemed that little bit fuller and brighter. She blinked a few times adjusting herself.

'Ready?'

It was incredibly crazy she decided. Messages and thoughts were sent to her brain far too quickly as she tried to dodge and counter. She could see and comprehend things she never usually could in battle till afterwards. It was all a bit too much.

She found herself more on the offensive now, landing a fair few glancing blows and every now and then a solid one. Kakashi looked a little more hassled than previously as he created clones off himself.

Sakura glanced around at them all. She could see, she could barely believe it but she immediately knew which were fake, and which the real one was. She began with the closest clones taking them down with ease, till she reached the real Kakashi. She slipped past the kick aimed for her gut. Everything seemed to stop at that moment. She could see the slight quirk of surprise and amusement on Kakashi's face.

There was a dull thump as her fist connected soundly against the small jaw. She quickly regretted as she belatedly though of the bruise that would definitely develop.

There was a stunned silence as Kakashi rubbed his jaw gently, still looking fairly surprised. Sakura straightened slightly and grinned.

'Oh yes ladies and gentlemen that was a BAM!'

Just as she was laughing and about to do her victory dance, a shiver shot through her that took her breath away. Kakashi picked up on it in an instant.

'You ok?'

Sakura struggled to reply still trying to catch her breath.

'Yeah…Just a strange feeling.'

'Kind of like you breath being taken away?' Kakashi asked leaning in toward her.

'Yeah, how did you know?'

'Just an effect the Sharingan can have some times, kind of my body reminding me its there.'

Sakura closed her eyes and fumbled for the headband, yanking it back down.

'Do you mind if we stop now?' She asked quietly, fiddling with the fingerless gloves on her hand.

'It's ok; you won't be near exhaustion with it…' Kakashi said with a reassuring tone, but Sakura didn't feel all too reassured.

'I just want to stop ok?'

'Ok, just calm down a little…' Kakashi replied brushing the dirt off the pink training skirt.

'How can I be calm? It's not my body I'm putting strain on! If you got ill because…' Sakura clamped her mouth shut as her throat tightened, and tears threatened to make an appearance. Silence prevailed, until Kakashi sighed slightly before offering a gentle smile.

'I'm sorry, let's go back ok?'

Sakura sighed in relief and joined him as they began to walk back to the village.

'Lady Tsunade?' Shizune asked fretfully.

Tsunade flicked her gaze up at the women from the paperwork infront of her.

'Yes.' She asked tiredly, beginning to shift through the papers once more.

'Erm don't you think we should perhaps help Kakashi and Sakura. I mean it looks doubtful their ever going to change back.'

Tsunade sighed and allowed her weight to fall back against the back of the chair.

'This is something they have to work out on their own, I can't change them back and what use is it if they don't discover this desire on their own?'

'I know it's just taking them a while.'

Tsunade smiled at Shizune's response.

'Well denial is a strong thing; we often ignore what's right infront of us.'

'Do you think they'll work it out soon?'

With another wicked grin Tsunade answered

'Eventually, they won't be able to ignore it.'

Sakura couldn't sleep. It was terribly annoying because she was exhausted but seemed incapable of drifting off to dreamland. No matter how many times she twisted around, sighed, shuffled and shifted she could not find a comfortable position to settle in to allow sleep to take over. She growled and sighed pathetically for the hundredth time when she heard a soft noise.

She stilled and strained to identify the noise that was coming from the other side of the door. It sounded suspiciously like someone trying to start up the gas for a cooker. Sakura's curiosity got the better of her and she slid out of the bed. She crept to the door, and gently pushed it open.

Only one soft light was illuminating the kitchen, and it revealed a small figured crouched infront of the cooker repeatable clicking at the gas switch. Sakura had to contain a giggle as the figure jumped at the ring finally lighting up. The petite figure straightened and turned to regard Sakura.

'Hope you found that funny.' Kakashi grumbled regarding the pink locks in his fingers, checking none had been singed.

'Hilarious.' Sakura giggled padding toward him.

'What are you doing?' She asked bemused.

He sighed and moved to pour more milk into the pan, and to grab another mug.

'Hot chocolate.' He stated as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. Sakura raised a silver brow as she looked down at him.

'It always helps me sleep.' He explained finally before turning to the pan to stir the milk.

'Ah, you can't sleep?' She asked even though it was obvious.

'No, and by the looks of it neither can you.' He answered eyeing the milk.

'My mum always makes me hot chocolate when I get home from a mission.' Sakura said fondly, moving to lean against the counter next to Kakashi. Kakashi gave a warm look in response, before moving to tip teaspoons full of chocolate powder into the two mugs.

Sakura smiled as she watched him turn off the gas and grab the handle of the pan, gentle pouring the contents into the two mugs.

After throwing the pan into the sink he pushes the mug toward her. Sakura's smile widens as she takes the hot mug in her hands.

'Thanks.' She says softly, and watched as Kakashi nods in response. He pads toward the sofa and Sakura follows quietly. Just as both get seated Kakashi jumps up again.

'Oh, almost forgot.'

Sakura throws him a slight look of confusion as she watched him rummage through the fridge. Just as Sakura thought the fridge was beginning to swallow him he emerged, with a triumphant look on his face, holding a bottle of whipped cream.

Sakura let out a low laugh as he marched back to the sofa.

'It's not the same without it.' He stated as he began to douse his mug with the cream, he quickly attacked Sakura's mug before she could protest.

'Hey that's enough do you want me to get fat! Or more to the piont you to get fat?!' She laughed trying to pull the mug out of reach.

'I don't mind gaining an extra few pounds.' He said with a smile playing on his lips.

'Well I do, so go easy on that stuff.' Sakura retorted, a laugh still tangled in her throat.

'You would just have to train a little harder, work those love handles off.' Kakashi joked.

Sakura wanted to slap him all over again, how could he insult her but she still find it funny. To her horror she realized she actually liked it. She actually enjoyed his teasing, and found herself wanting him to do it more often. Before she realized what she was doing she grabbed the cream and squirted it onto of the pink hair infront of her, and grinned as she sprayed it onto his face and down his back. She could despair about the damage it was probably doing to her skin and hair later, right now it was just too funny.

Kakashi's hand along with his mug froze midway between the table and his mouth. He made a small shocked laugh before placing the mug back down and regarding Sakura.

Sakura grinned she was in for it now.

'Oh, your going to wish you hadn't done that.' Kakashi said before grabbing at the can of whipped cream.

Sakura through herself back and used her long arms to hold the can above her head, and out of Kakashi's reached. He made a few more futile attempts to grab at it, then with a feminine growl sat back on his heels. Sakura beamed at him through the dim light, she was winning for once, too bad it was only because she was in his body.

Kakashi appeared to have a light bulb moment as he fixed a wicked grin at Sakura. Before Sakura knew what was happening she felt herself curl into a ball reflexively, trying to get away from the sensation of Kakashi tickling her. She was laughing too much to really think of a plan to get away, and she was in too much of a muddle to register Kakashi yanking the can out of her grasp.

She gasped as the cold cream sprayed onto her, she grabbed at his wrists in an attempt to stop him, but it didn't stop the onslaught of whipped cream. She did all she was able to do, she rolled. They landed with a loud thud on the floor, Kakashi underneath Sakura as she reclaimed the can and sprayed it at him. The can sputtered its dying gasps and Sakura shook it violently but to no avail.

She threw the can to the side and looked down at the frazzled cream covered copynin. Both were breathing heavily and regarding each other quietly. Sakura allowed herself to think of all the things Kakashi was to her, to everything she felt around him. She forgot that it was her own face she was staring down at, she forgot she was in his body and he was in hers. All she could seem to think of was how much she wanted to…

She felt herself leaning down, her eyes dangerously close to closing. She stopped when their noses barely brushed holding herself still relishing in the closeness. She took in the glazed expression in green eyes and the soft exhale of breath on her lips. He was so close.

It was then both of them seemed to snap back to reality. Green eyes widened and Kakashi quickly turned his face away, Sakura shot up onto her feet and moved back a few paces.

'I'm sorry; I don't know what that was.' Sakura whispered apologetically looking down at the ground.

Kakashi sat up slowly looking at the discarded mug on the coffee table.

'Don't worry, the sooner we change back the better.' He replied.

'We really should get cleaned up; you can use the shower first.' He said still refusing to look at her. Sakura nodded, getting up to shakily walk to the bathroom.

As soon as she was inside she let the breath she had been holding, and sank to the tiled floor, letting out a frustrated whisper.

'Smooth move Haruno.'
