"Sakura…"

He kept moving forward and she took step after step backwards, until her back hit the rough surface of the wall. His palms ended up on the wall on either side of her pink head, effectively preventing any escape she might have had in mind. She just didn't understand why he was doing this.

"Kakashi-sensei…"

He lowered his head until their noses nearly touched. Looking at her through hooded eyes, he whispered, "Don't tell me you don't feel it."

"F-feel what?" she asked, her eyes closing of their own volition.

One gloved hand went to his mask and he pulled it down achingly slowly, until the entirety of his face was revealed to her partially open gaze.

"This," he whispered, and without further hesitation, he pressed his lips to hers…

Sakura awoke with a jolt and immediately wished that she hadn't. And then she realized exactly what she had just thought and shook her head furiously, trying to rid herself of the mental images her dream had stirred up.

He was her teacher, for crying out loud! Well…ex-teacher was more appropriate, and they were in the same rank now, but still. There were just some lines one did not cross. Even in when in Dreamland.

But try as she might, Sakura couldn't erase the image of his unmasked face, his lips, his hooded gaze, smouldering with barely suppressed passion.

As if she could feel the pounding of his heart underneath her hands-

Sakura buried her head in her pillow and groaned.
