Ch.7: Just Another Day

Sakura stood in her jounin outfit on the bridge. She glanced at the water beneath the bridge and looked at her watch. '9:30. Why did I come here so early if I know he's always late?!'

'Force of habit?'

'For once, I agree with you.'

Sakura waited for another half-hour. Deciding to go practice her taijutsu, she pushed off the bridge and started to walk towards the forest when a cloud of smoke appeared in front of her.

"Yo."

"You're late." she said, arms crossed.

"Well, I was walking over here when I found a dog with a collar and decided to try and find the owner. I asked around the village and-"

"You can stop now. At least you came up with a new excuse. Come on." Kakashi nodded and they walked towards the forest together.

They stopped when they reached a field. It was covered in snow; the normally lush trees surrounding the area were now bare and also snow-covered. They walked to the middle of the field and faced each other. They each pulled out a kunai from the holster on their thigh and got into a fighting stance. "Shall we?" Kakashi asked.

"Let's."

They both charged at each other, kunai in hand. Sakura threw hers towards his chest when he threw his to deflect it and jumped away. Sakura stood in the middle of the field waiting when she felt a tug on her foot.

Kakashi tried to pull her underground when Sakura poofed, revealing a log. 'Substitution jutsu.'

Sakura appeared from behind a tree trunk. "You'll have to do better than that." she chuckled. Suddenly, Kakashi appeared behind her, a kunai to her throat. Sakura smirked and leaned forward to fall into the blade and from the tree.

Kakashi watched in horror as she did so when a cloud of smoke convinced him otherwise. 'Shadow clone.' he thought as he dodged a shuriken aimed at his face. 'Better keep my guard up.'

"Kakashi, stop holding back. You know I can take you now."

'Does she realize how dirty that sounds or is that me making it sound like that?'

"Fine Sakura, but you asked for it!" He pushed up his hitai-ate and opened his Sharingan eye.

He smirked and leapt from the tree to meet a startled Sakura below. "Found you." he stated with a smirk. Sakura glared at him and took out two kunai, throwing one at him. He caught it in between two fingers and flipped it so it landed in his hand. They charged at each other, sparks flying as metal met with metal.

They were currently matched as Kakashi was still holding back. Suddenly, Kakashi had an idea. "Sakura, how about a bet?"

"Depends."

"I bet I can still beat you."

"I disagree."

"Just what I was hoping to hear. The loser of this match will have to do whatever the winner wants. Deal?"

"Deal. Prepare to lose, Kakashi." she smirked.

"We'll see." he smirked back.

The two separated and leapt back. Kakashi threw a barrage of shuriken at her, but she leapt into the air. She quickly righted herself and landed a chakra-loaded kick at him, hitting him in the ribs. Kakashi felt his bones crack and winced. He let out a pain-filled hiss and stumbled backwards.

Sakura took this opportunity to take a kunai out and she pinned him, straddling his hips with a kunai to his throat. "Told you so." she smirked. In a flash, she found herself pinned under him, her hands above her head with a kunai to her fair-skinned neck.

"You were saying?"

Sakura glared at the man. "Fine, you win."

He smiled. "Thank you."

She blushed. "Um…Kakashi?" Kakashi looked down at the emerald-eyed girl. "What?"

"Y-y-you're still on me," she stammered.

Kakashi looked down to see he was still straddling her small frame. Kakashi blushed under his mask. "Sorry." he said as he ignored the millions of thoughts of them in that position without clothing bombarded his head. He stood and helped her from the ground. She brushed the snow from her uniform as Kakashi held his side protectively.

She looked at him and remembered how she cracked his ribs. "Sorry, let me fix that."

"You don't have to, Sakura." She put her hands on her hips. "Kakashi, you and I both know that your ribs won't heal properly if we left them alone. Stop being such a baby and let me fix it!" she said, her lips adorably pouted in her frustration.

Kakashi nodded dumbly as he imagined all the things he wanted her to do to him with her mouth. He barely registered the feeling of him being nudged to a tree and the push on his shoulder for him to sit down. He just sat there in his fantasies.

Sakura fidgeted nervously. 'I know that I have to fix his ribs, but that means I have to reach under his shirt. What do I do?!'

'Fix his ribs and feel him up while you're at it.'

'Ew!!! Are you sure you're in the right head? Well, might as well get started.' Sakura lifted the hem of his vest and shirt and stuck her hand in. She slid her hand up his right side until she reached his ribcage and traced each rib checking for fractures.

Kakashi was now fully aware of his surroundings and felt goosebumps where her hand touched his skin, followed by warmth. Her thumb unwittingly brushed against his nipple and he shuddered in pleasure. "Sorry about my cold hands." she apologized. Kakashi nodded deftly and she continued her check-up.

She found that she had broken three of his ribs and cracked two surrounding the broken bones. A green glow emerged from her hand as she focused her chakra to her hand and started to heal him.

Kakashi felt her healing him and found he enjoyed the sensation. He felt her chakra course through his body and left a warm feeling in his body as his bones mended. She removed her hand from his clothing and looked up at him as he stood and straightened his clothes. She felt her heart flutter as she watched him. 'Stop it!' she scolded herself.

"Ready?"

"Fine. What do you want from me?"

Kakashi bent forward to get face to face with her. "I want you to spend the rest of the day with me."

She mentally fell over. "What?!"

"I want you to spend the rest of the day with me." he smiled. "Ready to go?"

Sakura smiled. "Sure."

Sakura and Kakashi were walking through the village. It was 7:30 already. After they left the training grounds, they went to his apartment to shower before heading out again. They went around the village, shopping for various items on his list and even stopping so she could spot him in his ridiculous push-up regiment. They had just finished dinner at Ichiraku and walking back to Sakura's place when Genma appeared.

"Hey beautiful!"

"Genma."

Kakashi just nodded.

"So, sexy, the night's still young. How about we ditch Kakashi and grab a drink? Maybe head over to my place for a little treat?" he said as he pulled her into his chest.

She glared at him. Genma's obsession with flirting and the opposite sex was no surprise. She'd even been on the receiving end of some of those lustful stares. This wasn't new at all. "How about no?"

"Aw, come on, cherry blossom, you're breaking my heart." he said, as he placed her hand over his heart.

Jealousy flared in Kakashi. Yes, Hatake Kakashi was jealous and he knew it. What can you say? He really loved the girl.

"Genma, she said no, now leave before I make you." said Kakashi, the threat evident in his tone.

Genma smirked. "You win, Hatake, besides, I think I see a couple of girls who need my company tonight." he said as he ran past them.

"He's such a handful." Kakashi sighed.

"Well, we better get you home before we freeze out here." Sakura nodded and they continued their way.

Kakashi watched as Sakura placed the key into the door and turned the knob. She pushed the door in. She stepped into her warm house and turned back to Kakashi. She leaned forward and kissed him on the cheek. Kakashi stood in shock. "Thanks for helping get rid of Genma, Kakashi. Goodnight," she smiled.

Kakashi nodded and started down the stairs. She watched him as he turned and disappeared down the street.

Sakura closed her door smiling. Shortly after, she heard something down the street. "YES!!!! Whoo!!!"

Sakura was momentarily stunned. 'It can't possibly be Kakashi.'

"…could it?"
