This is the second part of the flashback of how Kakashi and Sakura got together.


"So, what are you gonna do about it?"

Shizune looked between the two shinobi. Kakashi sighed. Shizune felt a little bad for Kakashi because she knows he's not used to dealing with romance.

"I. I don't know." Kakashi answers honestly.

"Would you like to start a relationship with her?" Tsunade asks quietly.

"I mean..Isn't it taboo? I am her ex sensei and we are fourteen years apart." Kakashi answered.

"Thirteen and a half years." Tsunade responded.

"What?" Kakashi questioned with confusion in his voice.

"You two are thirteen and a half years apart if you want to be technical. Not quite fourteen." Tsunade replied nonchalantly.

"Still. It is a big age difference. And the whole sensei-student thing is kinda frowned upon. I mean.."

"Quit your excuses, Hatake. Just because you're afraid to fall in love doesn't mean you shouldn't." Kakashi was quiet at Tsunade's response. "Sakura is good for you."

"I know she is. I just feel like I'm not good for her." Kakashi drank some sake.

"Oh, you're not. You're a late and lazy pervert who would rather read porn than train his students!" Tsunade started and Kakashi just looks at her. "But, I know how much you mean to her. She treats you differently from the other four members of your team."

"How do you know all this?" Kakashi wonders.

"Sakura tells me things." Tsunade smirked. "I also keep an eye on all the citizens in this village. I know things people don't know I know."

"I mean, if I had to be honest, I have thought about her in a different way lately. Well, since she turned eighteen, many older guys have been trying to get with her. They say stuff about her appearance and they're not wrong. She is a beautiful woman who has definitely grown up from the love-struck, Sasuke-obsessed brat she was when we first met." Kakashi told her.

"Do you want her?" Tsunade questioned.

"I don't know. I mean, she seems almost too perfect for me." Kakashi answers.

"Do you want her?" Tsunade's asked again.

"Yes. I do. I want her. All to myself. Fuck anyone else who tries to get her. I want her." Kakashi answers loudly but confidently. Tsunade smirks.

"Good. You gotta fight for her though." Tsunade warned.

"What do you mean? Why is that?" Kakashi questioned.

"I heard that the new medic plans on asking Sakura on a date tonight." Tsunade told him.

"She wouldn't go out with him until he met the team. If anyone in the team doesn't like him for some odd reason, he gets dumped. Remember Tai? Everyone liked him for the first two months and then once he insulted Naruto, Naruto starting hating him and Sakura broke up with him shortly after. She takes her team's opinions very seriously." Kakashi reminds.

"I know. She also takes mine and Shizune's, as well as Yahiko's and her parents." Tsunade claims. "That won't stop her from going on a date every now and then. A date is different than dating."

"I know, but still." Kakashi mutters.

"I think Sakura will say yes. She can never resist umeboshi and anmitsu. I heard he is taking her to get some because Ino told him what she liked. He actually went up to her and asked because he wanted to impress her by taking her to eat her favorite foods." Shizune confessed.

"Well, shit." Kakashi pouted.

"So, you like her and she likes you. You gotta make your move before someone else does." Tsunade told him.

"Why are you trying so hard to push us together?" Kakashi inquiries.

"Because I know how much you two mean to each other. Also, you both deserve happiness." Tsunade simply answers. Kakashi sighs and thinks about everything.

"How did dinner go last night?" Shizune questioned.

"How did you know I actually listened and took her out to eat?" Kakashi raised an eyebrow.

"She took a picture with you and posted it on facebook and instagram. Remember?" Tsunade reminded.

"Oh yeah. Forgot." Kakashi chuckled as he rubbed the back of his head. "Well, looks like I gotta go." Kakashi turned to leave.

"Remember, Hatake. She is definitely worth fighting for. Her little crush on you isn't just a crush. I think it's love. It's a different love that she has for you than her family or the rest of the team. Keep that in mind." With that, Kakashi nodded his head and walked away.


"So, you like pinky then?" Genma questioned with a glass of water in front of them. Kakashi came and woke Genma up, considering that it is about 9 in the morning. Genma was not in the mood to talk, but once he saw it was Kakashi, he gave in.

"I mean. She is definitely different from all the other women I know."

"I know. No one else can fricken cause the Earth to shake with just one finger." Genma stated. "Well, other than Tsunade, but still." Genma smirked.

"I have had thoughts about her." Kakashi admitted.

"Oh no. You had dirty thoughts about your ex student? Shame on you, Hatake!" Genma joked.

"I'm serious. This is weird. I haven't thought about a girl this much in a long time. Actually, I don't think I've thought about a girl this much. I had a dream about her last night! A dream!"

"Wow. Make your move. Make her yours." Genma simply stated.

"I gotta make the move perfect though. I gotta plan something so great that it'll blow her away." Kakashi told his best friend.

"If you need any help, I'm right here." Genma smiled, making Kakashi smile too.

"Thanks. Means a lot." Kakashi drank his water and thought about how he would get his girl.


"Sakura-Chan. Wait up!" A young medic ran up to Sakura as she was about to leave the hospital.

"What's up, Kiyoto?" Sakura smiled at the fairly new medic.

"I was wondering if you wanted to go on a little date tonight and get some umeboshi or anmitsu or something." Kiyoto blushed as he tried to ask Sakura out.

"Umeboshi or anmitsu? They're my favorite! How did you know?" Sakura questioned.

"I heard from Ino. I wanted to ask you out and she told me what foods you like." Kiyoto responded.

"Oh, how nice. I think I can go out for a bit tonight. How about you pick me up at seven tonight, 'kay?" Kiyoto smiled and Sakura left.


"A date? With Kiyoto?" Tsunade questioned., a bit shocked that Sakura actually said yes.

"Yeah. Tonight. He's taking me to get umeboshi and anmitsu." Sakura answered.

"Why? I thought you liked Kakashi!" Tsunade thought.

"That doesn't mean I can't just go out with a friend tonight. Besides, I don't think he likes me that way." Sakura admitted.

"What makes you say that?" Shizune asked, confusion plastered all over her face.

"I don't know. Kakashi seems like the person who doesn't chase women fourteen years his junior." Sakura confessed.

"Thirteen and a half years! You two are only thirteen and a half years apart." Tsunade told her. Sakura just rolls her eyes.

"Cause that makes it better." Sakura snorted.

"So, you're just gonna give up on him?" Tsunade demanded.

"Well, I mean. I don't know. I always fall for the guys who seem so out of reach." Sakura said sadly.

"Sasuke was a lost cause from the start. Kakashi is different. He isn't out of reach. Fight for him. You'll be fighting a lot of his stupid fan girls, but you'll just kick their asses anyway." Tsunade smirked.

"Oh you have no idea. Half the chicks at the hospital hate me because I'm his personal medic. I've known the guy for seven years! He trusts me and he knows I won't do anything that might make him feel uncomfortable at the hospital. Hence why I do most of his checkups at my place. Well, him and the rest of the team." Sakura told her.

"And half of the village. Dammit, Sakura. They gotta get over their pathetic fear of the hospital and you're not helping." Tsunade berated her.

"Sorry. I just want them to be comfortable." Sakura defended herself.

"Listen. Don't give up on Kakashi so easily. I know how much you like him. It's been, what? Almost a year? This isn't a crush that'll go away so easily." Tsunade told her. "Besides, half the village thinks you're together anyway.

"Unfortunately, we're not." Sakura sadly admitted and sighed.

"Not yet." Tsunade smirked, making Sakura look at her questioningly. Sakura didn't even bother asking her because she knows Tsunade won't give her an answer anyway.


"I don't know why you keep doing this, Lady Tsunade. If they are meant to be together, they will." Shizune told Tsunade when they were the only two in the room.

"Sometimes they just need a little push to help them. If that means I gotta send them on a mission, so be it." Tsunade drank her sake.

"You can't be serious!" Shizune exclaimed.

"I am. I really don't want to send them though. They need to get together in this village."

"Why? Why does where they get together matter?" Shizune raised an eyebrow.

"I don't know. I guess because Konoha is where they met, spent most of their time and memories together. I guess it would make it better. Oh my gosh. He should ask her out where they first met! Wouldn't that be cute?" Tsunade put her hand out because she had an idea.

"They technically first met in the classroom when they were first assigned a team though and he arrived late as ever." Shizune pointed out.

"Fine. He should do it on the roof where they were first introduced to each other." Tsunade rephrased it.

"How do you know all this stuff?" Shizune wondered.

"I make Sakura tell me things. One of the many benefits of being hokage." Tsunade grinned. Shizune sighed.


"Alright, guys. I'm leaving in a few minutes." Sakura called out as she walked into the living room to get her shoes. She is wearing a short black dress with black 4 centimeter heels. Her whole team is in the living room watching TV.

"Why? Where ya going? Got a hot date tonight?" Naruto looked at her, now seeing she is dressed up.

"Yeah. Hence why I'm dressed up." Sakura told him. Naruto just rolled his eyes.

"What's his name, address, phone number, job, blood type, family life, social life, and where's he taking you?" Sasuke questioned. Sakura smiled and shuck her head.

"His name is Kiyoto and he works at the hospital." Sakura put a shoe on. "I left some information on the counter. There is some money if you guys wanna get a pizza or takeout or whatever." Sakura stood up straightening her dress.

"Are we gonna meet him? We better meet this punk before he takes you out." Naruto demanded.

"Yes. You will. He's picking me up in a few minutes. It's a good thing all five of you are here."

"No kissing or showing any affection at all. Not even a goodbye kiss on the cheek. Nothing." Yamato told her.

"Yes, dad. I got it." Sakura smiled. Her team always looks out for her. It's nice to have people like this.

Knock. Knock. Knock.

"Oh. That's him." Sakura ran to get the door. "Hi, Kiyoto." Sakura smiled.

"Hello, Sakura. Ready to go?" Kiyoto asked.

"Hold on. Let me get my stuff. Come on in." Sakura invited him in. She took him to the living room while she went in the closet.

"You must be Kiyoto. Nice to meet you." Kakashi shuck his hand, but he squeezed his hand a little harder than usual. Kiyoto winced in pain.

"Hi. You all much be her team. Nice to meet you all." Kiyoto said politely.

"Have her back by 8:00, no later." Sai told him. Kiyoto gave him a weird look.

"I'll..try my best to." Kiyoto answered unsure.

"No. You'll make sure, or else there will be some problems." Sasuke threatened. Kiyoto sweat dropped and gulped.

"Listen here, you little shit. If you do anything that makes Sakura feel uncomfortable in any way, shape, or form, I will find you and cut your balls off. Do NOT touch her in anyway and give in to every single one of her demands. This is gonna be your one and ONLY date with her, got that?" Kakashi threatened quietly, but loud enough for the rest of team seven to hear. Kiyoto gulped again and nodded his head. Kiyoto was shaking a bit.

"Alright. Let's go. Bye, boys. See you later." Sakura told him. Kakashi gave Kiyoto a death glare and the couple left.

"Wow, sensei. Who knew you were the jealous type?" Naruto joked and nudged him in the side. Sasuke smirked and Yamato grinned.

"I'm not jealous. He doesn't deserve to go on a date with her." Kakashi folded his arms across his chest.

"You just met the guy today. You can't tell if he's bad yet." Naruto told him.

"I just met him and don't like him. Just by looking at him, he's not right for her. Sakura deserves better." Kakashi informed.

"Like who? You?" Sasuke asked.


A/N. Yeah. There is facebook and instagram and cell phones in this story. Konoha has modernized, so yeah. In case you didn't figure that out in earlier chapters.
