Enjoy.
"Kakashi. We need to talk, man." Genma walked in Kakashi's apartment with Gai and Asuma. Jaciel was there.
"What do you three want?" Kakashi asked.
"Jaciel. Leave." Genma demanded.
"No. This is Kakashi's place. Not yours." Jaciel told.
"So? This is our business, not yours. Leave now before I fucking hurt you. I am not playing." Genma said angrily.
"Leave, Jaciel. I need to talk to them." Kakashi sighed.
"But, Kakashi. You are my business." Jaciel told.
"Damn, bitch. Let the man breathe! He deserves some privacy." Genma shouted.
"Please leave, Jaciel. It won't be long." Kakashi asked. Jaciel begrudgingly left. "What do you want?"
"You're making a mistake marrying her, Hatake." Genma got to the point.
"Why's that?" Kakashi asked.
"We know you're not as happy as you say you are." Asuma told.
"How would you know that?" Kakashi asked, a bit surprised.
"We're your best friends, Hatake. We know you. Jaciel is completely wrong for you. She's actually wrong for everyone." Genma claimed.
"Look. I'm going to marry her. In two weeks." Kakashi said. "And, I want you three to be there."
"I'm afraid that won't happen." Gai said this time.
"Why not?" Kakashi asked.
"We don't approve of your relationship with her." Gai stated. "No one in the village does."
"So? Do this for me, not her." Kakashi said.
"We're not going. If you do end up marrying her, the three of us are going to break all contact with you and cut you out of our lives for good." Genma threatened.
"Isn't that a little too extreme? Why are you doing this? Why can't you let me be happy?" Kakashi asked.
"Because we know you're not happy with her! You're running away from something and we want to know what it is!" Genma shouted.
"I'm not hiding anything." Kakashi told.
"Wow. You're definitely not the old Kakashi I knew and became friends with." Asuma said sadly.
"Sorry, but people change." Kakashi shrugged.
"Trust us. You're making a mistake by marrying her, Hatake." Genma repeated.
"I'll make that call." Kakashi said uncaring.
"Marry her and you'll be alone. Your team is going to leave you and now your three closest friends are too. Sooner or later, you won't have anyone at all. No one in the village likes her. In the end, you're only going to have her. Is that what you honestly want?" Genma said. "Just something to think about." With that, Genma, Gai, and Asuma left.
Kakashi was in his bedroom thinking about everything. He was left alone. Jaciel came back shortly after the guys left, but he kicked her out because he said he had important ninja things to do. It's a good thing Jaciel is a civilian and doesn't understand ninja priorities.
"Fuck! This isn't working!" Kakashi sighed as he ran his hands down his face. Pakuun came over to where Kakashi was laying on his bed.
"What's wrong, Kakashi?" Pakuun asked sincerely.
"Jaciel wants to get married." Kakashi stated.
"Oh. About that. Kakashi. The pack and I don't like her. At all." Pakuun stated.
"You guys too?" Kakashi sighed when Pakuun nodded his head. "Why not?" Kakashi looked at his number one dog confused.
"She's mean to us and she's ruining your team. We want you to get with Cherry." Pakuun claimed.
"Sakura will never like me anymore. This is the plan. I want her to temporarily get hurt and not permanently. She'll get less hurt now than in the future." Kakashi stated.
"But, how do YOU feel about her?" Pakuun wondered. Kakashi shrugged.
"I don't fucking know! That's what's killing me!" Kakashi confessed.
"How do you feel about Jaciel?" Pakuun asked. Kakashi sighed.
"I don't like her as much as I put out. She's too clingy and annoying. At least Sakura isn't like that. I can tolerate Sakura." Kakashi told.
"So, why marry Jaciel if you don't like her?"
"I have to stop thinking about Sakura." Kakashi claimed.
"Why?" Pakuun questioned. Kakashi sighed.
"It will never work out for us. I used to be her sensei, plus I am fourteen years older than her. It'll be taboo." Kakashi explained.
"But, if it's love, it shouldn't matter what everyone else thinks." Pakuun said his thoughts.
"It's a bit more complicated than that." Kakashi stated.
"You humans are weird. Marrying someone just to forget about someone else?" Pakuun insulted. "Just know that if you marry Jaciel, you're never going to be happy." With that, Pakuun left.
"Dammit. Sakura locked her door." Kakashi muttered. He waited a few days to think some things over. He doesn't have his spare key to Sakura's house, so he knocked on the door. All of team seven have an extra key to each other's places. Sakura came out after Kakashi waited about ten seconds.
"What do you want?" Sakura asked, surprised and a little upset that it was Kakashi knocking on her door. "And, why didn't you just come in?"
"I kinda forgot my key." Kakashi replied sheepishly. "Can I please come in? We need to talk."
"Sakura-Chan. I'm changing the channel. I wanna watch my Spongebob!" Naruto shouted from the living room.
"Whatever, Uzumaki!" Sakura shouted back and then turned to Kakashi. "Fine. Since it's just you." Sakura moved so Kakashi can come in.
"Can you please leave, Naruto? I need to talk to Sakura alone." Kakashi said.
"No. He doesn't have to leave. He's in my house. I say if he can stay." Sakura told.
"But, I need to talk to you alone." Kakashi pestered.
"So? It's my house." Sakura pointed out again. "Besides, your girlfriend is always with you."
"I tell her to leave sometimes when you all need to talk to me alone." Kakashi stated.
"He basically lives here. You're basically kicking him out of his own house. That's not going to happen, Hatake." Sakura said. "Besides, he's watching Spongebob in the living room. We're talking here, in the kitchen." Kakashi sighed.
"Okay. I wanted to come to you before I go to the rest of the team." Kakashi started out, not sure where he should start. "Okay..I don't know how to start."
"Hurry it up, Hatake. I don't have all day. My brother's coming over for dinner and I gotta start cooking soon." Sakura claimed.
"Okay, fine." Kakashi sighed. "How do you feel about me?"
"How I feel? I fucking hate you at the moment." Sakura replied.
"Honestly tell me. Do you still have..those feelings for me?" Kakashi wondered.
"Why the fuck should it matter? You're going to marry some bitch that no one approves of. It fucking pisses me off that you preach how all our opinions matter and that we should always take into account what everyone thinks, but here you are, dating and about to marry some chick no one can stand." Sakura claimed. "Your wedding's next week. You're going to make the biggest fucking mistake in ALL of history."
"Everyone keeps saying that. I don't see it." Kakashi claimed.
"Because you're too blind to see it!" Sakura shouted. "Why are you going to marry her when you barely know her? I know you're not under any genjutsu. Are you being tricked into this? Are you being threatened? What the hell is going on?"
"Sakura. I can't really explain it myself because I don't even know what's going on." Kakashi sighed.
"Then you have to find out before you marry her." Sakura told. "I'm not going to let you marry Jaciel. I'm going to do everything I can to try to stop the wedding. If I don't succeed and you do end up with her.., I'm done with you completely. You ruined our team and I can never forgive you ever again. I'm just going to shun you and that'll be the end of our relationship." Sakura claimed.
"That's a little too extreme for me just marrying a woman, don't you think?" Kakashi questioned.
"No, because we've all been telling you how wrong it is that you're marrying her. She's wrong and you even know that." Sakura sighed. "This isn't the Kakashi I knew and fell in love with."
"Do you still love me?" Kakashi asked softly and seriously.
"I..I don't even know anymore." Sakura told honestly. "I know Jaciel is up to something, and I'm going to find out. When I do, I can guarantee that it will not be pretty for her."
"What do you think she's hiding?" Kakashi wondered. Sakura shrugged.
"Who knows? I do think she's trying to ruin Team Seven. That can't be just it though." Sakura thought about it. "There's more that we don't know." Sakura then turned to Kakashi and pointed at him. "I think you're hiding something too."
"Like what?" Kakashi wondered. "Why would I hide something."
"You're acting out of character, that's why." Sakura shrugged. "You wouldn't jump into marriage. Hell, you wouldn't jump into dating so quickly." Kakashi sighed.
"You just don't like her? Not even a little?" Kakashi inquired.
"She's taking you away from us. I don't like her." Sakura answered simply. "I don't like anyone who tries to ruin team seven's relationship."
"Is that it or is it something more?" Kakashi stared at Sakura in the eyes. "Are you jealous of her?"
"I don't fucking know. I hate her because she's all you care about now! I guess the five years of Team Seven meant nothing to you now!" Sakura accused.
"That's not true. It's just...complicated." Kakashi whispered. Sakura sighed.
"Look, Sensei. We're here to help. We're here to listen. You know that." Sakura said. "We all miss you..I miss you. I miss being able to talk to you, spend time with you, have sleepovers, training. I even miss you patting me on the head, even though I hated it as a child. I guess I just miss spending any time with you." Sakura chuckled softly at some of the memories.
"I miss those times too." Kakashi whispered quietly.
"Then come back to us." Sakura suggested. "I know you're not truly happy and I have no idea why you're doing this, but you need to open your eyes. You belong with us and not with Jaciel." Kakashi sighed.
"I don't know. I just..I need to leave." Kakashi stated as he went into the fridge and quickly took a box of takeout rice and left. "Bye, Sakura."
"Bye, Kakashi-Sensei. I hope you think about everything before irrationally jumping into marriage." Sakura said. Kakashi nodded and left.
"Wow. You handled that kinda maturely." Naruto walked in. Sakura shrugged.
"I realized that if he wants to leave us, we have to let him." Sakura sighed and started cracking her knuckles. "Although I'm going to have a nice little talk with Jaciel tomorrow."
"Where are you going to talk to her?" Naruto asked. "If you beat her up in public, everyone's going to think that.."
"I'm going to go to her house." Sakura smirked.
"How do you know where she lives?" Naruto wondered. Sakura continued smirking.
"Naruto. I'm the hokage's apprentice. I can get that kind of information." Sakura grinned evilly.
"I see. How..evil of you." Naruto stated and Sakura winked.
"Coming!" Jaciel said as she made her way to the door. She opened it and was surprised to see her fiance's team mate. "Oh. It's you. What are you doing here and how did you get my address?"
"I have my ways. We are going to have a little chat. You and I." Sakura invited herself in.
"No. I don't want to have a talk." Jaciel claimed as she turned to Sakura.
"Too bad. We're going to because you can't do anything about it." Sakura threatened.
"I can call the cops on you." Jaciel threatened.
"Please. Cops mean nothing to a ninja like me." Sakura folded her arms over her chest. "Why?"
"Why what?" Jaciel asked confused.
"Why are you doing this? Fucking hiding a secret from us?" Sakura explained.
"I'm not hiding anything from you." Jaciel denied.
"Please. I may have just met you last month, but I know you're hiding something from us. What are you trying to get from marrying Kakashi?" Sakura asked angrily.
"Why do you think I have an ulterior motive? I love Kakashi."
"That's bullshit and you know it!" Sakura shouted. "You don't love him. Yeah, you may think he's hot or whatever, but it's not real love and you know it."
"What are you trying to get out of this conversation?" Jaciel questioned.
"Why you're doing this!" Sakura screamed. "I wanna know why you are rushing into marriage and forcing Kakashi to do this stuff."
"I'm not forcing Kakashi to do anything. Everything's consensual and I love him."
"Please. You know NOTHING about Kakashi-Sensei." Sakura stated.
"That is so not true!" Jaciel claimed.
"Name three of his ninja dogs." Sakura tested.
"What? I don't know their names." Jaciel claimed. "He has like six or something."
"Eight." Sakura corrected. "Name his cactus's name."
"His cactus doesn't have a name." Jaciel told.
"Of course it does. We gave it to him, so of course we know the name of his cactus." Sakura told. "Name his secret cat's name."
"I don't know it." Jaciel stated. "If he names his cactus, his cat's name is probably weird."
"That's because he doesn't have a secret cat. He hates cats. That's why he has eight dogs!" Sakura said. "Look. You know nothing of Kakashi. I know you don't really love him. Why the fuck are you doing this?"
"Look, Sakura. I can't help that you're jealous of me. You're just angry that I'm going to marry your hot sensei and not you."
"Please. Get off your high horse. You're a pathetic low-life bitch. I don't need to be jealous of you." Sakura stated.
"I am marrying the man you love." Jaciel smirked.
"I don't love him like that anymore." Sakura lied. Two can lie.
"I doubt that. I bet you fantasize of him every night because he's with me and not you." Jaciel bet.
"Yeah. I also fantasize about killing you. I can make that fantasy come true." Sakura cracked her knuckles.
"You don't scare me." Jaciel told.
"Yeah? I can beat you up. I can get away with murder." Sakura told.
"Ooh. So scared." Jaciel sarcastically said. Sakura walked over and stabbed Jaciel with a needle. "Ow. What the fuck was that?" Jaciel asked, holding her arm in the spot where she got shot.
"I stabbed you with a needle." Sakura showed the needle.
"Why? That fucking hurt, you bitch!" Jaciel winced in pain. Sakura smirked.
"It's not just any normal needle." Sakura continued smirking. "I put a chemical on the tip of the needle. It makes people tell the truth and I can sense when you're lying. I love being a medic." Sakura smirked.
"Bullshit. It doesn't work." Jaciel doubted. Sakura shrugged.
"We'll see." Sakura smirked and put the needle away. "Why are you doing this?"
"I want to ruin Team Seven." Jaciel said and covered her mouth immediately. "What the fuck. I didn't mean to say that!"
"The truth came out. I told you it works, but you doubted it." Sakura smirked and then turned angry. "Why are you ruining Team Seven?"
"I want Kakashi to forget about you." Jaciel said. "Fuck. I'm not trying to say anything."
"The truth will come out, no matter what." Sakura claimed. "Why do you want Kakashi-Sensei to forget about me?"
"Because he isn't sure if he likes you or not." Jaciel started hitting herself.
"He isn't sure if he likes me? So, who started dating who?" Sakura questioned.
"I initiated it. I gave him the idea of dating someone so he can forget about you. I also wanted Team Seven's relationship to be ruined, so I killed two birds with one stone." Jaciel told.
"So, he's just using you?" Sakura started laughing. "Oh my gosh. You're being used. You're basically a rebound." Sakura was smirking. "All this time, I thought he was the one being whipped. You're both pathetic. That's the thing."
"At least I can get some love from Kakashi." Jaciel stated.
"Bullshit. Your 'Kakashi love' is just a kiss on the cheek and sometimes on the lips. That's all you've even gotten from him." Sakura stated.
"You're right. He's only kissed me. I tried to get him to have intercourse with me, but he wouldn't do it." Jaciel opened her eyes wide, realizing what she's saying. "SHUT UP, JACIEL!"
"Have you ever seen his face?" Sakura wanted to know.
"Nope. He won't show me. No matter what. It pisses me off. If I'm going to marry him, I should know what's under his mask." Jaciel was upset.
"Why the hell are you doing this?" Sakura asked.
"Doing what exactly? Be specific." Jaciel told.
"Using Kakashi like this. Stealing Kakashi from all of us..from me?" Sakura added a bit softly.
"You get everything you want! A nice home, a great job, a loving family and teammates and what do I get? A fucking psychotic mother, a drunk alcoholic father with a mentally unstable older sister and druggie cousin! Not to mention that I live in an apartment that is falling apart everyday and barely has any heat. What the fuck did I do to deserve a messed up life? You're spoiled and I fucking hate it!" Jaciel cried out.
"I think I've heard enough." Sakura then pinched the back of Jaciel's neck, making her fall unconscious. Sakura then left.
"Is everything true?" Sakura asked Kakashi shortly after. All of team seven were listening to the conversation. Sakura recorded the whole thing. Kakashi sighed.
"Yes. It is true." Kakashi claimed.
"You were going to marry some crazy chick because you started growing feelings for Sakura-Chan?" Naruto inquired.
"I don't know my feelings for Sakura! I've never felt this way before!" Kakashi claimed.
"Clearly." Sasuke claimed.
"You were going to waste your life away permanently just because you were temporarily confused?" Yamato asked.
"I don't know what to do in a situation like this!" Kakashi shouted. "Even though Sakura's going to be eighteen in three months, it's still frowned upon if any relationship except a teacher-student relationship were to happen between us!"
"So? You never cared about what people thought of you before. For crying out loud, you read porn in public!" Naruto pointed out.
"So, you are going to call the wedding off, right?" Sai turned to Kakashi.
"No. I'm going to make a big mistake and marry her." Kakashi claimed in all seriousness.
"You can't be serious. Sensei. You're fucking ridiculous!" Naruto shouted.
"Hey! It's my life, I can do what I want!" Kakashi said loudly.
"Fine. Then I want nothing to do with you or your life!" Naruto left the room.
"I can't do this." Kakashi told Jaciel while they were together. Kakashi has had enough time to think about everything.
"Do what? What do you mean?" Jaciel questioned.
"I can't marry you. We both know I'm just using you and it's not even working. I'm calling off the wedding." Kakashi told.
"But, Kakashi. We're going to get married tomorrow! You can't call it off now!" Jaciel claimed.
"I can and I just did." Kakashi said. "I don't want anything to do with you anymore. You're a crazy, psychotic bitch who is manipulative and creepy. I have absolutely no feelings for you and I want nothing to do with you ever again." Kakashi stood up. "Everyone's right. You are wrong for me."
"But, Kakashi! I love you." Jaciel clung onto Kakashi's arm. he shoved her away.
"I told you I don't like you. I'm leaving you forever. I don't like you and I never have. This game is over. I'm done." Kakashi claimed and left Jaciel alone and crying.
"You finally gave into your senses and called off the wedding, Hatake?" Tsunade was going through the paperwork Kakashi just did. "About time, too." Kakashi sighed.
"I tried doing something and it didn't even work." Kakashi said.
"What were you trying to do?" Shizune asked. Kakashi sighed again.
"I wanted to try to forget something..Or more specifically, someone." Kakashi claimed.
"Was it that pink haired team mate of yours?" Tsunade asked.
"How'd you know?" Kakashi wondered. Tsunade shrugged.
"I know you, Hatake. Believe it or not and like it or not, I know you." Tsunade answered.
"I messed up, didn't I?" Kakashi asked.
"Yes, but it's not unfixable." Tsunade stated and Kakashi looked at her. "I'm sure your team will get over it. They love you, even if you are an idiot."
"I hope Sakura will forgive me." Kakashi muttered.
"She will. She'll be the first to forgive, not because she likes you, but because she knew all along that something was up." Tsunade predicted.
"Will our relationship ever be normal again?" Kakashi softly wondered.
"Your relationship was never normal to begin with." Tsunade chuckled. "But, it will. It will take time, but it will be fixed. This is a lesson for you to learn."
"I hope so." Kakashi muttered.
"Now, go. You have a team and a group of friends you need to apologize to." Tsunade pointed out. Kakashi nodded and left.
"Sakura. I need to talk to you." Kakashi said as Sakura was sitting on her couch reading her medical textbook.
"What do you want this time?" Sakura looked at Kakashi.
"I called off the wedding." Kakashi started. Sakura closed her book. "I realized that I was being pathetic and that I'd rather spend my time with my team than with some crazy bitch."
"We've been telling you that for a month and a half, Sensei." Sakura pointed out.
"I know. And, it took me some time to understand the consequences of marrying her." Kakashi sighed. "Will you ever forgive me?"
"Of course I'll forgive you, Sensei. You're my team mate. If you married her, I wouldn't forgive you though. Good thing you're didn't. I can't imagine team seven without you. I hate her. I'm just glad it didn't go too far." Sakura smiled.
"Me too. Hey, would I be able to sleep over tonight?" Kakashi asked. Sakura lit up.
"Why are you asking? No one asks." Sakura chuckled. Kakashi shrugged.
"I just wanted to make sure." Kakashi claimed. "I know it's a team sleepover tonight, and I wanna make sure I can come."
"Of course you can come. You are part of the team, Sensei..But, you should apologize to everyone else though. They won't be as easily forgiving." Sakura claimed. Kakashi nodded.
"You're right. I'll be back at around 8." Kakashi left.
"Alright. See you around ten." Sakura teased and heard Kakashi's faint laugh before he closed the door and Sakura went back to reading her medical textbook.
"Why are you here, Kakashi?" Naruto asked as he opened his door. Him and Sasuke were playing video games and Kakashi interrupted them.
"Can I please come in? I need to talk to you and Sasuke." Kakashi told.
"How do you know Teme is here?" Naruto asked.
"I can hear you two screaming while playing video games a mile away. You two are loud." Kakashi pointed out. Naruto shrugged.
"Fine. But, make it quick. I'm mad at you." Naruto made way for Kakashi. Sasuke was texting his brother but stopped when he saw Kakashi make his way to the living room.
"What is he doing here?" Sasuke asked Naruto disgustingly. Naruto shrugged.
"He said he needs to talk to us really quickly." Naruto took his spot next to Kakashi. "Alright, hurry up. We don't have all day." Kakashi sighed.
"I just got done talking to Sakura." Kakashi started. "I ended it with Jaciel."
"Wow. Finally realized how pathetic and stupid this whole thing was?" Sasuke questioned.
"Actually, yes. I knew I was making a mistake, but didn't care because I thought that if I dated someone else, it would get my mind off of Sakura..It didn't really work." Kakashi replied sheepishly.
"Clearly." Sasuke said.
"I'm sorry I was acting like an ass to you all. I was completely in the wrong and I hope you all forgive me." Kakashi apologized.
"Forgive you? Kakashi, we're not going to forgive you so easily, just because you apologized. You ignored and left us. It hurt all of us emotionally." Naruto stated.
"I'll buy you some ramen." Kakashi offered.
"Ah, who am I kidding? I was getting bored being mad at you." Naruto grinned. "Let's go!"
"How about later? I need to see Yamato and Sai..And, Genma, Gai, and Asuma.." Kakashi listed off.
"Fine. Come back at two." Naruto said and Kakashi nodded. he turned to Sasuke.
"Sasuke. Do you forgive me?" Kakashi wondered.
"I assume Sakura forgave you, right?" Sasuke assumed. Kakashi nodded his head. "Then there's no reason to be mad at you. You hurt Sakura the most and she forgave you. I can't be mad now."
"Good. I'll see you two later." With that, the older jounin left.
"I see. So, you decided to call it off?" Yamato asked as him and Sai were eating lunch in Yamato's apartment. They only live a few doors down from each other in the same apartment building, so they like to eat lunch together often.
"Completely. Like, I'm done with her forever." Kakashi expressed.
"Good for you. No one really liked her." Sai stated.
"Liked her? Everyone hated her! Senpai, she was terrible!" Yamato stressed.
"I know. It was stupid on my part, but it's over." Kakashi sighed.
"Good. Well, I'm glad to have you back." Yamato smiled.
"It's good to be back." Kakashi smiled as well.
"Of course! I am so happy you broke it off with Jaciel! I didn't like her. She was not youthful enough for you. Sakura, on the other hand, is!" Gai proclaimed. Kakashi was at the bar with Asuma, Gai, and Genma.
"My plan to get my mind off Sakura didn't work. Shit." Kakashi groaned.
"Hey, maybe you and Sakura are supposed to get together in the future." Genma suggested. "It's a sign."
"Why her? Out of anyone in the world, why does it have to be Sakura that I like?" Kakashi asked as he held his head. Genma shrugged.
"It does make sense. She is the only female close with you and she knows how you work. She's seen you in your best and worst states and still accepts you. Oh yeah. She also likes you too." Asuma listed off.
"Why does love have to be complicated?" Kakashi wondered. Genma shrugged.
"It doesn't have to be complicated." Genma told.
"IF I were to go out with her, you know what people are gonna say?" Kakashi asked.
"Please. People already talk about you two. Half of Konoha thought that Jaciel was just a cover up and you're actually dating Sakura." Genma told.
"Oh my gosh. These people have no lives." Kakashi stated.
"I can drink to that." Asuma did just what he said.
"This is all your fault." Genma accused Sakura as he walked into Sakura's house as she was doing the dishes.
"What do you mean? What did I do this time?" Sakura questioned.
"It was your fault Kakashi tried to marry that bitch. He tried to forget about you and it didn't work." Genma explained.
"So? Why are you blaming me?" Sakura wondered.
"If he wasn't confused about his feelings towards you, none of this would have happened." Genma shrugged. "You can only blame yourself, Sakura."
"What the..how does that make any sense?" Sakura was startled.
"It just does. You wouldn't understand. I think you should apologize to him for making him almost marry Jaciel." Genma suggested.
"I don't see how it's my fault! I'm not going to apologize because Kakashi tried to run away from his problems." Sakura claimed.
"If you really care for him. you'd apologize." Genma continued.
"But, I don't.." Sakura stopped and looked at the senbon user. "Alright, Genma. Whatever."
"Good. I'm out." Genma said as he took a bag of chips and left. "See ya later, Pinky. Remember. Apologize." Sakura was left standing there dumbfounded. It took her a minute before she turned to finish the dishes.
"Kakashi-Sensei! I'm so glad you're sleeping over tonight!" Naruto tackled the older man. Everyone was laughing and having a good time.
"Of course. It is a team seven sleepover anyway." Kakashi smiled and pushed Naruto off him.
"So glad you're back with us. It was a long month and a half without you." Yamato sighed.
"I can bet. These kids are a handful." Kakashi rubbed Sakura's hair.
"We're not kids, Sensei. We're seventeen!" Naruto told.
"I know. I know. It feels like just yesterday we were on our first mission when you three were genin." Kakashi recalled. "You grow up so fast."
"Well, you can't get rid of us yet. You're stuck with us forever!" Naruto declared.
"I wouldn't have it any other way."
Aw. They made up and everything's back to normal..right?
Anyway. Please review and let me know what you thought of this chapter.
