Naruto.

Sakura brushed her hair before bed, and instead of being absolutely bubbly about her two admirers, she was dead serious. She climbed into bed, and just lay there thinking.
'Kakashi-sensei is so... Well, it is hard to judge him. He is great to look at underneath his mask and everything, and is so mysterious that he is sexy. He's calm and collected, and really strong, too. But when he kissed me... it was frightening. It was like he couldn't control himself, and his grip was so forceful and possessive. He is intense like that.
'But Naruto... he is something else entirely. He is sweet and tries really hard to make things work. He is dedicated. Though he can be annoying. And his own kiss... it had real patience in it, it was like he was asking me if it was okay at first.' Sakura's thoughts ran wild as she compared the two before she finally fell asleep.

Outside of Haruno Sakura's window, a dark figure sat in a tree, gazing in at his sleeping angel. His eyes drifted over her gently rising and falling chest to rest upon her closed eyes and soft pink hair. Suddenly, the figure went on guard and pulled out a kunai.
"Crap, what are you doing here Sasuke?" said an annoyingly familiar voice. The dark haired boy looked over his shoulder to the branch above him. The blonde was perched precariously, looking down at him with a look of utter shock and hate.
"Dunce," said the Uchiha simply before turning back to the view of Sakura. Naruto nimbly jumped down onto the same branch and leaned over his teammate's shoulder.
"She looks like an angel when she sleeps," said Sasuke quietly. Naruto nodded, but then bonked Sasuke on the head.
"Jerk, she looks like an angel all the time," he yelled defensively. Sasuke smacked the blonde upside the head.
"You ass, she'll hear us!" he retorted loudly. Naruto pulled out a few kunai, lacing his fingers in the handles. Both boys perched, facing each other angrily. Just as they were about to pounce on each other and slit some throats, a calm voice interrupted them.
"Now, now, boys. There is no need to fight here," said their sensei as he appeared on the branch above. The two students looked up at him.
"What the hell is going on?" said Naruto. "I was coming here to watch over Sakura!" Sasuke smirked.
"Oh yeah? Where'd you get that idea, from me?" he said huffily. The jounin raised an eyebrow as the two boys look at him.
"Well, sensei, what are you doing here anyway?" said Naruto testily. His shrugged.
"Well, I was actually going to quietly open the window, pull the covers down off of Sakura, and-"
"Okay, now I don't want to know!" interjected Naruto hastily. He looked at his two comrades. "Okay then, what do we do now? Two of us want to be her silent protectors, and another wants go in and have sex with the poor girl," the blonde concluded with a sigh. Kakashi smiled fondly under his mask and ruffled Naruto's hair from above.
"The word 'duh' comes to mind," said Sasuke. The three sighed and sat back, watching the girl through the window, but were soon two were sleeping, and Kakashi-sensei was half-sleeping.

Sakura opened her eyes resolutely after spending an hour trying to sleep. With a sigh, she snuggled closer to her pillow. Suddenly, she sensed chakras nearby, and quietly sat up. She could hear her father snoring in the next room, and judged that they wouldn't hear her investigate. She slipped out from under the covers and crept over to her closet. She quickly selected a black version of the outfit she usually wore, and changed quickly. She crept from the room, and out the front door. She immediately focused on the chakras she had sensed, and followed them.
She blanched when she realized that they were right outside her window, and cursed herself for not realizing it earlier. She silently scaled the branches and looked at the three limp figures closely. She gasped despite herself.
She located the sleeping figures of Naruto and Sasuke, and crept towards the other one.
'Either it's Lee-san or Kakashi-sensei,' she thought as she neared the figure. Whomever it was wearing a mask, and she smirked and reached a hand towards it. Just before she was able to grasp the fabric, a large gloved hand shot up and grasped her wrist firmly. Sakura's eyes widened at the face lifted and his eyes met hers.
"Kakashi-sensei!" she whispered, surprised. He smiled under the mask.
"Sakura, you figured out that we were here. Very good," he said.
"All three of you?" she asked incredulously. Her sensei nodded.
"Yes, Sakura, all three of us were out here, watching over you," he said smoothly. "Unfortunately, Naruto and Sasuke failed in their self- appointed task. I...," he continued, his smile turning into a smirk and grasping her wrist tighter."... am the only one who saw." Sakura's eyes widened, and tears of pain formed as her wrist throbbed in his grasp. He twisted her arm just so, and she toppled down onto him, her face shoved into his chest and her body splayed awkwardly over his. She looked up at him, absolutely confused. She opened her mouth to speak.
"No, don't say word," he instructed, clamping a hand over her mouth. She squirmed, and he wrapped another arm around her small frame. She could hardly move under his heavy hold.
"Now then, Sakura," he chuckled. "I have you all to myself."
