Prompt: Sakura being more late than him.
Notes: I'm not entirely pleased with this one. Actually, not at all. But i guess at least it makes more sense than the last one…
And by the way, about that. I DON'T TAKE DRUGS. DRUGS ARE BAD FOR YOU.

When Sakura started arriving later and later for training, Naruto thought nothing of it. She looked tired and bedraggled, but she was working hard at the hospital. It was all probably catching up to her.
Regardless, when he saw her arrive with her hair all over the place, clothes rumpled, and angry red marks over her collarbone, he had to comment. "You look like hell, Sakura-chan. Who attacked you?"
She turned red and started yelling at him, and Naruto had to wonder why she was so angry at him. And when Kakashi-sensei arrived, she turned her rage on him too, yelling obscenities about how guys had it easy.
Poor Naruto was very confused.
The next day, Sakura was over two hours late, and he was left with only Sai for company until Kakashi arrived, and Naruto gaped.
"What happened to you?"
Kakashi's mask was lopsided, his vest missing, and his hair tangled, but he just smiled and said, "You see, Naruto, when a man and a woman love each other very much…"
Naruto wrinkled his nose. "Ew. Who would even like you? You're a pervert."
"It turns some women on." Kakashi's eyes gleamed. "Speaking of, where's Sakura?"
As if on cue, she arrived with a flourish, tossing back her neatly brushed hair. She looked refreshed and energized today, for the first time in months, and Naruto smiled at her.
"Got some sleep, Sakura-chan?"
Sakura nodded. "And a good shower. I finally had time," she added meaningfully. Naruto didn't get it. She looked at Kakashi in exaggerated surprise. "Wow, Kakashi-sensei. What happened to you?"
"Nothing too exciting," Kakashi said offhandedly. Sakura's smile dropped.
"Okay, training time!" She cracked her knuckles forebodingly. "Who's first?"
Naruto pushed Sai forward. He just smiled, because that was what Sai did. As he walked over to Sakura, he said, voice ringing out clearly through the training guards,
"So. Who 'tops'?"
Poor Naruto still didn't get it. At least, not until, at the end of the day, he heard Kakashi whisper to Sakura,
"This time, why don't we take a shower together? Save some time."
And she replied, "Go screw yourself, Kakashi."
Naruto almost fainted dead away when Kakashi said, "Why bother when I have you to do it for me?"
