Uchiha Raine: Wow! The second chapter is finally out! Have you guys been excited!
Uchiha Itachi: …Ugh…
Uchiha Raine: Don't you 'ugh' me mister!
Uchiha Itachi: Your enthusiasm annoys me greatly.
Uchiha Raine: That's not what you were saying last night about my immense amount of energy! -Wink.-
Uchiha Itachi: Gah…Uh...-Blink, blush.-
Uchiha Raine: That's what I thought, just read.
"Well…we were talking about how the mission was going to be in the Hidden Mist village. We're supposed to be tracking down an unknown assassin that has been killing off Hidden Mist chuunins. The Kage of the Hidden Mist village hired us, since all of the jounins he's sent to relieve the problem have come up missing," Kakashi said slowly. Sakura gasped in horror. This was their first A Class mission… And it sounded really hard. After their first C class mission with Zabuza they had had many C Class missions after that which were a very high danger themselves. Now a A class mission... Hokage must really think we're ready for this, she thought, and I certainly hope we are. After that raid on Konoha I'm sure we will be…, she thought reassuringly, We were just genin's then, and the ninja we had to fight were some of the strongest.
"We're totally ready!" said Naruto enthusiastically, which made Sakura feel reasonably much better. Just leave it to Naruto to make a dull situation bright, she thought, but still…I'm sure Naruto and Sasuke are ready for this mission…They're both really strong, but am I ready?
"Uh…Kakashi-sensei...Can I talk to you for a moment?" Sakura asked, the feeling of unease in her stomach increasing. He smiled and nodded at her, holding out his hand to show her he wanted her to follow him. He pushed his way through the two boys who were bickering once again. He led her into the forest, taking a seat on a rock gracefully.
"You're feeling that we're not ready for this mission. Am I correct Sakura-chan?" Sakura stared at him, her mouth gaped open slightly. He had never called her that before.
"Uh…Hai," she replied simply, regaining her composure.
"Well rest assured Sakura-chan, I will take care of you…erm...you guys no matter what happens. I think that you...we…are ready for this test of our strength. I mean, you do want to be a real jounin, don't you Sakura- chan?" and with this his eyes looked at her, almost pleadingly.
She stammered some, trying to answer hastily, "Hai, Hai Kakashi- sensei! I do want to be a jounin...I know I already passed the test, and I should be ready for all of these missions, it's just…I'm scared…" she stared at the ground uncertainly, and Kakashi looked at her with a questioning gaze. "It's-It's just that...I'm not as strong as the two boys…I'm just a medical nin…I couldn't compete with people like Sasuke, and Naruto…I just don't want to…die…" with this she let the rest of her sentence drift. Kakashi grabbed her chin, and lifted her face up to his, staring into her beautiful, and now sparkling green eyes.
"Don't worry, Sakura-chan…I will protect you," he said slowly. Sakura's heart had started beating, and it seemed that soon it would explode out of her chest. This seemed like something out of a romance novel. She just wanted to reach out, and pull down his mask and kiss his beautiful lips. Suddenly, as if Kakashi knew what she was thinking, he pulled down his mask. She gaped in awe as she finally saw his whole face…And oh, what a beautiful face it was. But before she could get a good view of it he leaned forward slowly, his lips meeting hers in a tender kiss. It seemed like it would last forever, but soon enough he pulled away, and his mask was back on before Sakura could see his beautiful face again. Sakura almost didn't even think it happened…but...she could still feel it, as if the pressure of his lips were still against hers. And with that he stood up, his eyes revealing nothing about his emotions, and disappeared.
