A/N: So, this is Part 2 of the previous drabble. Told you, I'd have this in a few hours. ;) Enjoy!


Frustration
(Part 2)

"Damn who?"

Her head snapped sideways at the familiar tone that just popped out of nowhere. Her eyes widened as she caught silver.

"K-Kakashi-sensei?" She managed to stutter, trying to hide her embarrassment and frustration. "What are you doing here?"

Her voice immediately changed as he walked closer to her. She didn't expect her sensei to be appearing at this hour just near her apartment when she almost blurted out his name in frustration.

"You didn't answer my question." He said coolly.

"Why do you think I'd want to answer your question?"

It was coming back. She was pissed all over again. But why would she be pissed, when he was already there in front of her? Didn't she want to talk to him? Didn't she say she missed him? Then, why would she still be mad at him?

Kakashi just stared at her, looking all smug beneath his annoying mask. He didn't really know what's wrong with Sakura, but he had a hunch.

He noticed how annoyed she was ever since they had dinner at Ichiraku, but deliberately trying to hide that annoyance in her face through talking animately with her fellow teammates. He talked to her once in a while during the dinner, but eventually, the atmosphere becomes silent again and Naruto would talk nonsense again, just to eliminate the awkwardness. Kakashi would sometimes glance at Sakura and catch her with a slight pink on her cheeks, playing with her ramen using her chopsticks.

"Sensei?"

Kakashi snapped back to reality. Did he really space out just thinking about Sakura blushing?

"Uh... Huh? Oh, yeah."

Damn it, he thought, why am I acting like this when I'm near her?

It's true. Every time he saw her, he would think what to do. And that wasn't normal. Especially with Haruno Sakura. She was his student and why would he think about what he needs to do? It's not like he has... feelings for her, right?

"If you're just going to stand there and waste my time, then I should just go in."

She turned her back on him and started walking towards the building when she felt a hand pulling her arm. Sakura turned her head and glanced at the man behind her sideways, puzzled at the sudden action.

Kakashi immediately pulled back his hand and fixed it at his side. He, too, was surprised at his sudden action. He looked down, and then at Sakura, and muttered, "Sorry."

Sakura faced him again, clenching her fists at her side. "You're frustrating!" She said angrily. "Why are you doing this? Avoiding me, not talking to me. When we do talk, it's not how it used to be, it's only small talk. You don't even look at me. What the hell is wrong with you? You can tell me anything, and you know that. I missed how it used to be, Sensei."

Sensei.

He flinched at Sakura's words, especially the last one. He looked down at his feet, then at Sakura.

"You wouldn't understand Sak-"

"Then, make me understand!"

She was furious. He can't talk to her like this. He knew it. There was only one thing he could do.

He stepped closer to her, watching her reaction. She stood there, staring at him, but when he was only a foot closer to her, she paled and her eyes widened. Kakashi knew that he was already invading her personal space but decided to ignore it. He continued to move closer to her until he was a few inches away from her.

Her eyes widened when he propped her chin on his index finger and brushed his masked lips against hers. He pulled away before things get off hand.

He moved his face closer to her ear and whispered, "See you later, Sakura."

Her heart was beating rapidly. "You... Wait, Kaka-"

Just before she could even finish her statement, he disappeared into a puff of smoke.

Sakura stared at the empty space in front of her. What the hell did just happen?


Kakashi appeared in his apartment a second after he teleported from the scene. He knew that was what he could do, but was it really necessary? No, it was necessary. He needed to know what he really felt for her. And he already knew the answer.

I'm attracted to her.


Out of frustration, Sakura slammed the door of her apartment shut. The nerve, she thought, pulling a trick like that without telling me anything...

She laid on her bed, thinking about the things that happened recently. She was feeling a lot of things at the same time, frustrated, embarrassed, angry, surprised... giddy?

Why would she be giddy after all that? No way!

"Argh! Why do you always give me with these feelings, Kakashi?!"


A/N: Tell me what you think. I don't know what to think. HAHA. Read and review! Thanks :)
