OMG! A miracle has happened! I have updated this story whitin less than a month from my last update! The world must be about to end!

So, sorry for that, eheh. Here's another chapter, straight out of my notebook. I'm portuguese and I live in Portugal (real though one to guess, right?) and I have Portuguese as a class and I actually wrote this chapter in that class. Boredness is an incredible thing!

To make up to you, my lovely readers, I am already working on the next chapter (yes, I did start it during Portuguese class) and it's gonna have NejiSaku in it. I'm sorry if you don't like/ship that couple, but they'll only be a couple for 3 or 4 more chapters. And also, things are heating up. Turns out that Sakura is not that sexually awkward after all ;)

Now, on with the chapter!

Normal POV

Konohagakure. The village hidden in the leaf. Currently in a state of peace. Well, at least most of the time.

"YOU OBNOXIOUS LITTLE IDIOT!" a certain pink haired kunoichi proclaimed while chasing the said 'obnoxious little idiot' down the main street of Konoha. And that same idiot was running for his life with the most terrified of looks plastered on his face.

"I'm so sorry Sakura-chan, please forgive me" he said, never ceasing his run. "I DON'T WANT TO DIE!" well, this scene is more like the old days. How much time has passed anyway?

Let us find out, shall we?

Kakashi's POV

3 years. 3 freaking years. And I had to spend them on missions with her. I'm not exactly complaining, I mean, I love seeing her fight, she never ceases to amaze me, but not being able to touch her, to truly be with her (AN: not in a sexual way guys-that will come later), it just tears me apart.

Her relationships with Naruto and Sasuke have improved greatly. Everything's pretty much back to normal, except for that little part where Sakura like Sasuke. She's over him now. At least I think (and hope) so.

"Alright Naruto, I won't kill you…Today" she said with a wicked smile on her face. "But ramen is on you for the rest of the month!" she completed.

"Anything you want Sakura-chan!" Naruto said, moving to Sakura's side and putting an arm around her shoulders.

Let's go have after-mission ramen, ok?" Naruto proposed. Sakura nodded her head, Sasuke just rolled his eyes (but went with them anyways) and I wrinkled my one visible eye. Then, just as a happy family, we all headed to Ichiraku's.

Shikamaru's POV

Ah, what a drag. Why did I have to fall in love with Ino? Why did Sakura help me? I mean, I appreciate it and all, she's one of the kindest persons I know, but having Ino as a girlfriend is a pain in everyone's butt. Speaking of Sakura, there she is! And of course, Ino is already dragging me towards her and her team.

"SAKURA!" she shouted right in the middle of the street, jumping on the pinkette.

"For God's sake, Ino-pig, get off of me" Sakura shrieked. Quite gracefully, considering the situation.

"Aw, come on forehead girl, don't be so mean!" Ino whined, pouting. God, why is she so freaking adorable?

"Freaking idiot" Sakura muttered under her breath. I don't think anyone else heard.

"Hurry up, I'm hungry!" Naruto yelled from a bit further down the street.

"We're going to Ichiraku's for lunch." Sakura informed us. "Do you guys want to join us?" she asked. I'd rather not go with them, but Ino, well, that's another story.

"Of course we want to!" Ino said gleefully, letting go of me and clinging onto Sakura's arm. "We have so much stuff to catch up on!" she completed. I saw Sakura grimace and then she looked at me pleadingly. Sorry Saks, you're on your own.

Kakashi's POV

Poor little Sakura. Her state of annoyance (caused by Ino) was more than noticeable.

"So, Sakura, what do you think of your new assistant in the hospital?" Ino asked Sakura.

"I have a new assistant?" Sakura repeated, staring at Ino a bit wide-eyed. "Hmm, I didn't notice." She completed with a shrug.

Ino shrieked. "How could you not notice him? He's one of the hottest guys in Konoha!"

"It's a guy?" Sakura asked, her eyes now completely wide.

"Yes! And he's been hitting on you ever since he started working for you!" Ino shrieked again, completely outraged by Sakura's obliviousness.

"So, that's why it repeatedly offered to bring some documents to my flat in the middle of the night?! I did find that a bit strange." Sakura said, more to herself than to anyone else. Wait, the guy's hitting on Sakura? He's in for the beating of his life time.

"Sakura, Ino, sit" Naruto said, tugging on Sakura's shirt, urging her to sit down.

After the girls were seated, we ordered our food. While we were waiting, we basically talked about missions. Team Asuma had been on an "interesting" mission a while back and we absolutely had to hear all about it.

"Itadakimasu!" Naruto yelled before diving into his ramen. Sakura slapped him on the back of the head for yelling in the middle of the restaurant. Then, she started to eat her own ramen, although not as…eagerly as Naruto.

"So, Sakura, how's Neji?" Ino asked suddenly. Upon hearing her question, Sakura nearly chocked on her food. Well, that's weird.

"How am I supposed to be aware of Neji's current state?" Sakura countered. Well, something's definitely up. Sakura only uses 'fancy' words when she's trying to get out of something.

"I think you know exactly why." Ino responded, a knowing look plastered on her face.

"Why don't you enlighten me, Ino?" Sakura hissed, her anger showing through.

"Well, you see, I talked to Tenten earlier today. Did she or did she not see you and Neji kissing on the training grounds two days ago?" Ino proclaimed, crossing her arms over her chest with a smug look on her face.

"She did not." Sakura simply said.

"Oh really?" Ino countered, smug look still on her face.

"Really. She might have seen me kicking his butt, but she most certainly did not see us kiss, as we did not engage in any activities of the likes, as far as I remember." Sakura said, rendering Ino speechless (at least for a while).

"He has a rather nice butt to kick, does he not?" Ino asked, malicious glint in her eyes.

"Indeed he has." Sakura answered. When she realized what she had said, her eyes widened a bit, hoping no one had noticed the meaning behind her words, but she quickly regained control of her facial expression,

As for me, so such control was in due. If it wasn't for my mask, everyone would have been able to visualize the dumbfounded look plastered on my face. Sakura likes Neji. Sakura likes Neji?! Holy crap!

And just to put the cherry on top of the cake, here comes Neji! Oh, the absolute joy!

So, I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter!

Don't forget to review! (and keep giving me feedback on wether or not I should right a chapter "detailing" the first time Sakura and Kakashi will sleep together)

Thank you!
