Sakura stumbled out of Kakashi's apartment and leaned on the porch railing, calming her nerves and straightening her clothes. When Kakashi had snuck up on her in the kitchen and kissed her, it was amazing. She had wrapped her arms around him, and he had done the same for her as he lifted her onto the counter.
Oh, no- they didn't have sex.
But it was almost as thrilling. They had messed around a bit, Kakashi running a hand up and down her body and legs, and she had busied her fingers with tracing his firm, developed muscles. The only reason they hadn't simply taken each other right there was the fact that class was starting soon.
Kakashi joined her out on the porch, now in his usual uniform.
"Ready to go now?" asked Sakura.
"Oh yeah," he said, running a hand through his hair. "I just got the pick-up I needed." The two smiled at each other, blushing, then started walking towards the day's meeting place.

Naruto and Sasuke were waiting for them, both looking tired but patient. Naruto had taken a leaf out of Sasuke's book, and was staring resolutely at the air in front of him with his arms crossed. Both quirked and eyebrow as Sakura and Kakashi arrived together, but the similarities ended there. Naruto jumped up.
"Good morning Sakura-chan!" he cheered, but suddenly stopped and stared at them. "Sensei- you're not two hours late today!" he said unable to believe it.
"I picked him up this morning!" Sakura squealed. "I wanted him to be on time for once!"
"Yeah, yeah- she got me out of bed," Kakashi said, trying to sound sad.
"What?" hissed Sasuke.
"I mean- she knocked on my apartment door and woke me up," he said, hoping that his last statement didn't sound naughty. "Now then- training for today will be..."

After training that day, Kakashi and Sakura waved goodbye to Naruto and Sasuke.
"What do you want to do?" Sakura asked.
"I don't know- but we really should do something other than stand here," Kakashi said, leaning against a tree. For whatever reason, today- the couple simply couldn't see enough of each other. Their affection for each other had only grown stronger over the weeks, turning into an almost insatiable craving.
"Well, I'm hungry- want to go for ice cream?" Sakura suggested. Kakashi nodded and rubbed the top of her head affectionately.
"That's the idea," he said encouragingly. For the moment, as they walked through the deserted training area, Kakashi and Sakura linked hands and leaned on each other as they walked, knowing that such displays would certainly destroy them in public.

They reached the ice cream shop successfully, managing to look as if it were just a friendly gesture that they were together. They had made up a great act that was almost fool-proof.
"One strawberry soft-serve!" Sakura ordered cheerfully.
"One regular chocolate, large," said Kakashi.
"Uh huh- that'll be 500 yen," said the man from behind the counter. Sakura acted as if she were reaching for her wallet, but Kakashi smiled at her.
"No, no, I'll pay this time. But you owe me," he said, smiling at her and paying the man.
Inner Sakura giggled- the plan had worked.
When their ice cream arrived, they sat down at a booth, sitting across from each other. Sakura looked around- the place was almost deserted. Suddenly, the glass front door swung open and Yamanaka Ino walked in.
"One medium coffee flavored," she said to the guy behind the counter (who will forever remain nameless) and paid. As the man prepared the snack, she walked over to Sakura and sneered.
"Well, well now- if it isn't forehead girl, the trash Sasuke-kun never took out," she said acidly (okay, that was lame, but it is late).
"Not today, Ino-pig," hissed Sakura, licking her ice cream.
"Your order is ready, miss," said the nameless ice cream man. Ino pointed her nose in the air indignantly and sat on a bar stool.
"Stop it," whispered Sakura, stifling giggles as Kakashi's foot lightly rubbed against hers. The man smiled in an unbearably sweet way.
"I don't know what you're talking about," he replied. Sakura gently kicked him, but he kicked back, and soon both were valiantly fighting away giggles as a footsie war raged unchecked under the table. Sakura was blushing furiously, and Kakashi's visible eye was crinkled up merrily.
Ino watched the scene from the corner of her eye. She had to admit, she was surprised- no, mortified that Sakura and him were a couple. It took her all to not run over to them and yell at them. Something in Sakura's voice had signaled surrender, though, so she would leave her be. For now, anyway.
Ino couldn't take it. The strain of seeing Sakura and that pervert together was almost unbearable. She abruptly stood up and strode stiffly from the restaurant. Sakura and Kakashi watched her go.
"What's her problem?" Kakashi asked, to no one imparticular.
