On Monday, it rained. Kakashi laughed at Sakura when she fell into a puddle during training and she refused to talk to him again. Kakashi suspected her PMS was making things worse.
On Tuesday, it poured. Sakura spent the whole day with cramps that threatened to tear her in two. To make things worse, there was an entire emergency room full of patients needing care and she hadn't had lunch yet and Ino wanted to go drinking with her again and Tsunade-sama was going to be on her case if she dawdled any more and Kakashi still hadn't called.
On Wednesday, there was a thunderstorm. The power went out at the hospital and she had been in the middle of a rather delicate surgery and when she got home late at night, dead tired, she looked in the fridge and discovered that everything had gone bad. And Kakashi still hadn't called.
On Thursday, clouds completely covered the sky. An ANBU mission gone wrong had sent a wave of heavily injured ANBU into the emergency room and Sakura had her hands full with rather horrific injuries and Tsunade-sama was in one of her "moods" again and to make things worse, Shizune was away with Genma and Raidou on a mission and wasn't available to placate the Hokage and as soon as Sakura escaped from the hospital she had to spend an hour clearing out the fridge and while she was buying groceries some rude pervert touched her ass and she beat him down and ended up apologizing to the store owner for demolishing his floor and Kakashi still hadn't called.
On Friday, Sakura discovered that the power cord to her answering machine had been unplugged. When she plugged it in, she discovered a dozen messages from Kakashi, all in varying degrees of sweetness, and the last one went something along the lines of, "Sakura, if I don't hear from you by Friday, I am coming over to set things straight." And as soon as she finished listening to the message, Sakura heard the telltale click of an opening lock and Kakashi was in her apartment. Before he said anything, she had launched herself in his arms and wailed that she was just being stupid and that she wasn't really that mad at him and oh please please let him not be mad and-
Kakashi silenced her with a finger on her lips and told her he loved her.
She kissed him.
When they broke apart, Sakura winced because the sunlight filtering through her window was in her eyes.
The sky was the perfect shade of blue.
