Sakura held Kakashi's face in his hands carefully brushing the tears away. He smiled leaning down to rain kisses over her eyes.

Kakashi smiled, "I'm sorry…."

Sakura laughed softly, "Hey, don't turn into me, now."

Kakashi giggled and froze…usually that would have been more of a chuckle, "Did I just…"

Sakura burst into laughter, "Oh that was cute. Do it again."

Kakashi smirked but shook her head, "Your mom is going to worry soon. We should probably get back."

Sakura stood unashamedly eyeballing his fiancé's exposed body, "You should probably get dressed first."

Kakashi rolled her eyes annoyingly covering her chest, "And people say I'm a pervert…"

Sakura shrugged, "I'm only human. Anyway, there are some chest wraps in the top drawer if you want to wrap up. It's uncomfortable, but it really helps keep them out of your way. Also keeps them perky." He laughed winking before leaving the room.

Kakashi shook her head. She hadn't even been a woman for twenty-four hours, and she was balling like a baby. This wasn't like her. She knew she'd probably be emotional, but she couldn't be crying all the time. Cursing her overwhelming reaction she hurried to get dressed pulling her wrappings probably a little too tight.

Mebuki smiled as her son came into the kitchen. He lifted the lid off of her pot, "Mmm, smells good."

Mebuki shook her head, "Stay out of it. We'll eat when Kakashi joins us."

Sakura nodded moving to sit with his mother, "She shouldn't be long. I left her to get dressed."

Mebuki nodded, "Good, as you should."

Sakura didn't mention that he'd seen quite a bit of his fiancé's new body. His mom didn't need to know that particular tidbit.

Kakashi took quite a while dressing, and Sakura began to think she might be having trouble. He was just about to go check on her when she emerged from the hallway. She now wore her old mask smiling with her eyes like normal.

Sakura smiled. His old clothes fit Kakashi quite well. They were a little baggy, but Kakashi liked her clothes a little baggy. He doubted that changed. She looked quite comfortable with her hands in the pockets.

"What smells so amazing, Mebuki-san?" she asked lifting her face peering over the counter.

Mebuki grinned, "From now on I want you to call me Mom. After all, you two will be married in just a couple months. Did Sakura tell you about the appointment at the tailor tomorrow?"

Kakashi smiled softly, "Yeah, he said dress shopping or something like that."

Mebuki laughed winking, "I don't suspect it's as interesting for you as most young ladies, but it is necessary. Who knows, maybe you will enjoy it more than you think."

Kakashi seriously doubted that but kept it to herself. She didn't think she'd suddenly enjoy the more girly aspects of life just because she had a set of breasts, although she might not mind putting this new body into some lace for her husband-to-be.

Sakura just shook his head at the exchange, "Can we eat now, Mom?"

Mebuki nodded, "Yes, let's eat."

They sat down and quietly began eating. Kakashi's mind was swirling with a million different things. She was sure she was overanalyzing. Why was she dwelling on everything? Crying was normal, especially given her situation, and of course Sakura wanted to give her some space. Still she couldn't help the swirling thoughts and emotions that threatened to burst all over again. Was all of this because of the hormones, or was part of this actually just her?

Sakura watched Kakashi with concern. She hadn't touched her food, and she looked lost in thought, "Are you okay?"

Kakashi looked up startled, "Umm…yeah, I'm fine."

Kakashi reached to get a bite of food to show Sakura she was okay, but when the spoon hit her tongue she froze.

Mebuki looked on with concern, "Something wrong with your food, dear?"

Kakashi shook her head as tears started to form in her eyes again, "No…it's sooo good."

Sakura burst into laughter as Kakashi proceeded to attack her food. Was this how food tasted before? It was better than she could remember. It seemed to blow all of her other senses out of the water.

Kakashi started to laugh at herself between bites, "You know I never believed women when they called some food better than sex, but I think it might be possible."

Mebuki stared at Kakashi for a moment and then laughed, "Oh trust me, it's very possible."

Kakashi looked at Sakura who shrugged, "Don't look at me, I wouldn't know. Never had sex as a woman, remember?"

Mebuki choked, "Can we change the subject?"

Kakashi sighed, "Well, I guess it's time for me to go home. Thank you for dinner, Mebuki-san."

Sakura sighed scratching the back of his neck, "You sure you don't want me to walk you home?"

Kakashi smirked, "I think I can handle myself, Sakura. I'll see you tomorrow."

Sakura nodded before moving forward to embrace the woman he loved.

Mebuki nodded allowing them to kiss softly. She knew the separation would be difficult for them. They'd been together night and day for the last month or so, so it was only natural.

Sakura let his hands brush through soft silver strands. He wanted to memorize the feel, but he knew his mother was standing behind him.

Finally he sighed pulling back, "I've got to be at the clinic first thing in the morning, and by the time I get off work you'll probably be out shopping with Mom. I probably won't see you till evening."

Kakashi rolled her eyes even as they filled with tears, "Don't be so dramatic. I'm not going anywhere. It's only one day."

Sakura laughed reaching up to brush a few stray tears away, "I know. I love you."

Kakashi nodded, "Yeah, I love you too, you big idiot."

AN: So, yeah, Kakashi cries. She won't be a crybaby forever though. The thing about the food is actually based on the fact that women have more taste buds than men. We actually taste food more. So yeah, some food can be better than sex ;)
