Sakura smiled. She had just convinced Kakashi to take her to an underage club in the next village. It was all planned- they would go that night.
"Thank you, sensei," she said sweetly. "This will make an awesome White Valentine's gift," she purred.
"I suppose," Kakashi muttered, sitting back on the couch. "But now you get four presents instead of two," he said.
"Well, that just makes me happier!" Sakura said, sitting down next to him and fixing her eyes on the television. "By the way, what's for lunch?" she asked.
"I'm going to run out of money!" whined Kakashi, but he smiled at her. "But that is okay if you are happy," he said. "Here." He shoved a little red package into her hands.
"Eh?" Sakura asked, puzzled.
"Well, I was going to give you that and treat you to lunch," he said. "But then I gave you the massage, and now the club!" he explained.
"Oh," Sakura said. "Well, if you don't want to bring me, then-"
"No, no, it is alright! I've been intending to do a bit of clubbing myself sometime," Kakashi said quickly. "Now open your present." Sakura nodded and ripped off the red paper.
"Oh, Kakashi!" she gasped, bringing a hand to her face. A pink stuffed kitten sat in Sakura's hands, and it was holding... a red ruby necklace. The teardrop gem hung on a golden chain. Sakura's eyes widened.
"Like it?" he said smoothly.
"Oh my god," Sakura whispered. "Kakashi..." she said breathlessly. "How did you-?"
"I did a few extra missions a while ago, and just kept the money until I thought I needed it." Kakashi smiled down at the shocked girl next to him.
"It must have been so expensive!" Sakura said softly.
"No amount of money is too much for you," Kakashi said, wrapping an arm around her shoulders.
"But- but- but-" Sakura stuttered, but Kakashi held a finger to her lips.
"Shh. You don't need to say anything," Kakashi whispered in her ear. He gently placed the chain around her neck and fastened it in the back. Sakura, as he did this, looked out the window.
"Kakashi-sensei, it's snowing," she said lightly. He looked out the window.
"Very much so, it is a blizzard," he said. "Hmm, yes, I suppose I should be going," Kakashi said, standing up. "I'll be by around 7:00 to pick you up," he said. Sakura grabbed his arm.
"Oh, I can't let you leave in this!" Sakura said. "Stay, stay, I'll make you some lunch," Sakura crooned, gently pushing him back towards the couch. He willingly let her guide him back. Sakura dashed off into the kitchen and shrieked.
"What?" Kakashi asked, instantly alert.
"Naruto used up most of my food!" Sakura screamed angrily. "I'm sorry, sensei, but is ramen okay?"
"Of course," Kakashi said, folding his hands in his lap.
Sakura appeared a moment later, carrying a tray with two steaming cups of ramen precariously balanced on it. She handed one to Kakashi, who took it gratefully, and she sat down next to him with hers. As Sakura ate her noodles casually, Kakashi lowered his mask and scarfed his down before Sakura could notice.
"You know, sensei, eating that fast is bad for you," Sakura said.
"Too bad for me, then," Kakashi said shortly. He sat back. Sakura watched the television, Kakashi glanced at Sakura every five seconds. She finished eating momentarily. She took his cup from his hand and disappeared into the kitchen, returning after about a second. She sat back down.
Suddenly, the lights flickered and went out.
"Oh great, there goes the power," Sakura complained. "I didn't think it was that bad of a storm," Sakura groaned. "I'll go start a fire in the fireplace," she said wearily. Kakashi followed her to the basement, and helped her load the furnace with wood. Sakura lit a match and flung it in, and closed the little door.
"I like it down here," she said, flopping down in front of the fire.
"I'm sure you do," said Kakashi, sitting down next to her. Sakura stared blankly into the fire, a small smile playing across her face. Kakashi couldn't contain himself.
"I'm sorry, Sakura, but could you do me a favor?" Kakashi asked, obviously antsy.
"Sure," she said. "Anything."
"Can I..." he gulped visible as he gazed at Sakura.
"Spit it out, sensei!" Sakura said with a short laugh. Kakashi sighed.
"Can I kiss you?" he asked. Sakura stared at him for a second.
"Sure," she said softly. Kakashi wrapped his arms around her back and gently pulled her into a tender, perfect kiss.
