Hello readers!
I am so SORRY for not updating in a month! :(
I had writer's block, busy with a lot of projects, etc.
Now I'm back! :D
This chapter may not be so good because I had writer's block and kept deleting and adding stuff. But here it is!
I hope you all didn't die on me!
Kakashi looked at the steaming bowl of ramen with interest. He took a pair of chopsticks, ripped them apart, and his fingers were already at his mask.
"Mmm, this looks good," he said.
All of our eyes were glued to Kakashi. Naruto gulped. Sai, for the first time watched with anxiety. I had a knot in my stomach.
Here we go…
I gulped as I saw Kakashi's fingers reached for his mask. He moved his mask a centimeter in five minutes. I looked at him in disbelief.
Seriously, Kakahi-sensei? Hurry up! We don't have all day you know!
As he was slowly, VERY SLOWLY pulling it down, I felt an arm wring around my neck with an oh-so familiar voice.
"SAKURA, I HAVE TO TELL YOU SOMETHING! COME WITH ME!"
I was tugged so hard that I fell out of my chair and onto the dirt road. I coughed and winced in pain as my back slammed against the road.
"INO, WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?!" I spat at her.
Naruto and Sai were now looking at me, instead of Kakashi.
"Sakura-chan, you okay?" asked Naruto with a weird expression written on his face.
"Guys, what are you doing, look at sensei, not me!" I exclaimed as I sent some green chakra to heal my back.
Naruto quickly turned his head to Kakashi. To his dismay, Kakashi was already done with his ramen and unfortunately, his mask was back on.
"Mmm, that was delicious," he said in satisfaction with his hands clasped together.
"WHAT NOT AGAIN!!" yelled Naruto.
For the first time, Sai did not have his usual expression. Instead, he was staring at Kakashi in disbelief, with his eyes widened.
My mouth was hanging.
Wow, finally a different side of Sai! And how the heck does Kakashi does it so fast!?
I quickly turned and shot Ino a "death" glare.
"Whoops, sorry forehead, were you about to uncover your hot sensei's face?" she blurted out loud.
I felt my face burning red with anger as she said that.
"YOU'RE GONNA BE SORRY, INO-PIG!!" I yelled.
The minute I stood up, Ino dragged me by the ear into the dango shop. She forced me into a seat, and she sat across from me.
"Ow, that hurts, Ino!" I spat.
"Geez Sakura, I just wanted to tell you a little gossip," she retorted.
I crossed my arms and sighed.
Really, Ino? At this time?!
But of course, I'm a sucker for gossip in Konoha…
"Fine, just spit it out," I said in defeat, with my hands up.
Ino grinned in victory.
"Okay, you're not going to believe this!" she said with giddiness. "Tenten and Neji are going out!"
My jaw dropped.
"You're kidding!" I exclaimed in surprise.
She shook her head. "I'm serious! Lee was on his way to the training grounds yesterday, when he saw Tenten and Neji making out! He literally flipped out!"
I laughed, forgetting all the anger I had before.
"That's really something to hear. Neji doesn't seem like the type of guy to go out with someone," I said.
"I know! But, when I talked to Tenten yesterday, she said that Neji had feelings for her since they were genin!" said Ino with a huge smile on her face.
"Really? Wow! Neji's been good at hiding his feelings," I chuckled.
Ino was also laughing with me. We kept laughing until my stomach growled.
Oh great. I was too focused on watching Kakashi that I didn't eat lunch!
"Well aren't you hungry?" said a strikingly familiar voice, which made me shiver.
I was afraid to turn around. I felt my face turning red. Ino just stared at me, but then she waved to the person behind me.
"Oh, hello Kakashi-sensei!" she said with a smile on her face. "Well, I'm going, Sakura. See you later!"
Ino quickly got out of her chair and was waving at me as she left. I put head down on the table in defeat, again.
You're gonna soooo get it one day, Ino.
I heard footsteps until it took a seat across from me, where Ino previously sat. I slowly lifted my head up.
"Oh, hi Kakashi-sensei," I said in a monotone, while rubbing my eyes.
He just chuckled.
"What's so funny?" I asked with a glare.
"You should've seen Naruto and Sai's expression after I finished eating," he said, still chuckling.
Then my mind flashed back to just moments ago. Of course, Naruto's expressions are always priceless, but Sai's, I've never seen anything like it. I began to laugh as I remembered them. Then my stomach growled.
"I have to go eat, Kakashi-sensei," I said. "I'll see you later."
Just as I got up, his hand grabbed my wrist. I stood there for a while, until he said something.
"Eat lunch with me," he said somewhat seductively.
I shivered, because his voice was not muffled like it always was. I managed to turn around. My face began to burn up.
Oh…my…God…
This must be a dream. This can't be happening…
Evil cliffhanger strikes again! :D
Hopefully, I'll send in the next chapter reallyyyy soon. (quicker than a month)
Thanks for sticking to this story! Don't forget to review! :)
