The Fire of a Secret Love

It was about 11 O'clock, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura were still waiting for Kakashi so they could set off for their camping trip. Sakura looked over at Naruto who was digging around in his backpack trying to find something.

"Uhh… Naruto, don't you thing you packed a little too much stuff for justa three day trip?" Sakura asked as she stared at Naruto who was now struggling to lift up his bag onto his shoulders.

"Hmm…?" a dumb looking expression formed across his face, "Of course not, I packed ever thing I would possible need. Anyway you can never bring enough stuff on a camping trip." At this point Naruto seemed very proud of himself.

"Well, okay…" Sakura raised an eyebrow at her friend and couldn't help but laugh as he almost tipped over backwards due to his bag being almost heavier then his entire body.

Sasuke turned toward Naruto with a smirk on his face. He poked Naruto in the chest making him topple over backwards. Sakura laughed, Naruto looked like a beetle stuck on its back wiggling it's legs in confusion trying to get up.

"I-Idiot" Sasuke was starting to find it hard not to laugh at his idiotic friend rolling around on the ground.

"Hey! What the hell did you do that for!" Naruto struggled to his feet. He slid his sleeves up and clenched his fists. "I'm gunna kick your ass!"

Naruto took a step toward Sasuke and was stopped when a hand shot out in front of his face. "Save it for after our trip" Naruto looked up to see a smiling Kakashi looking down at him.

"Kakashi-sensei!" Naruto smiled "Your late again." A frown creped across his face. Even at this point Naruto still has never been able to grasp the fact that Kakashi was always late and continued to exclaim the obvious.

"Sorry, I had to finish a mission report, Iruka's been getting on my case about always turning them in late." Kakashi smiled sheepishly and rubbed the back of his head ruffling his hair. "So what do you all say we get going then?"

The four of them set off with an overly exited Naruto in the lead.


Sakura looked at Kakashi while he read is perverted novel. The bouncing light of the campfire made the features on his face look even sexier then usual. Even though Sakura couldn't see he face she could still imagine what he would look like. Sakura gaze into the fire and soon fantasies of her and Kakashi slipped into her mind. Thoughts of seeing his face, kissing him and getting feel his warm body against hers. She took her eyes of the fire and looked at Kakashi again, a small smile crossed her face.

Naruto rubbed his blistering feet and looked at Sasuke. "Stupid Kakashi-sensei! He never said that we would be training on this trip!" He complained purposely being loud enough for their instructor to hear.

A grumpy "Hnn…" was all Naruto got from Sasuke, his complaints never usually got to Sasuke but today he was even whinier then usual and it was starting to get on his nerves.

"Are we going to do anything fun tomorrow? All we did today was train." Asked Naruto in a whiny tone.

"Hmm… maybe," Kakashi thought for a moment "But you'll just have to wait and find out tomorrow." He smiled and went back to his book.

Naruto breathed out a loud 'hmph' and rested his chin in his hands as he gazed at the fire starting to feel a little disappointed.

Sakura smiled at Naruto, maybe she should try and cheer him up a little. "Hey Naruto, didn't you want to tell scary camp stories. It seems like it's dark enough."

"Heh heh heh… yeah!" Naruto's eyes narrowed evilly.

"So does that mean you want to start?" Sakura asked raising an eyebrow at Naruto.

"Yeap!" he smiled "Okay, but be prepared to get the crap scared out of you!" Naruto scooted closer the fire and began his story:

"This story starts off in the house of our main character, Narufo. Who was of course very handsome, smart, attractive and did I forget to mention he had stunning blond hair,"

"You idiot, you're just describing a fantasy version on yourself!" Sasuke said coolly.

"Shut up and just listen to the story!" shouted Naruto who seemed a little annoyed.

"Now where was I…O' yeah, Narufo our handsome main character was sitting in his chair reading when he heard a 'creak' 'creak'. Narufo took little notice of the sound until he heard it again 'creak' 'creak'. So, he got up and headed towards the sound. He realized the sound was coming from his kitchen. Then he heard the sound again 'creak' 'creak' and saw that the kitchen cabinet was open, 'that's odd he remarked'so he went to go close it. And as he reached out to grasp the handle he saw that all the ramen he had in his cabinet was…GONE."

"That was stupid. I'm going to bed" Sasuke stood up and headed toward one of the two tents in their camp.

"You liked it, didn't you Sakura-chan?"

"I'm sorry but I have to agree with Sasuke-kun." She smiled timidly and gazed into the fire.

"Well I know for sure that Kakashi-sensei liked it, didn't you Kakashi-sensei."

Kakashi looked up at Naruto from his book with a confused look on his face"What?"

"Never mind," he sighed, "I guess none of you appreciate my story telling. I'll just go to bed" Naruto stood up and walked into the same tent Sasuke went into moments before.

Both Sakura and Kakashi stared at Naruto as he retreated into his tent. Sakura looked over at Kakashi who caught her glance and returned it with his usual lazy gaze. She blushed slightly and stared back at the fire. A confused expression formed on Kakashi's face at Sakura's peculiar actions toward him. He shrugged it off and returned to his book.

The two of them sat in total silence except for the crackling of fire and occasional ruffle of paper from Kakashi's book. Sakura racked her mind for something to say that wouldn't sound corny or stupid; the silence was killing her. She sighed not being able to think of anything and stared out into space.

Kakashi looked at her with a little bit of concern, through out the whole trip she's been acting a little abnormal. "Sakura, are you alright?" He closed his book and put a hand on her shoulder "You know you can always talk to me about anything."

Sakura looked at Kakashi and smile apprehensively. Her cheeks turned a light shade of red and she looked down at the ground. "No, I'm fine"

Kakashi smiled, "Okay then" he stood up and slipped his book in his bag. "You better head back to your tent and go to sleep, it;s getting late."

"Yeah…" she said quietly as she stood up and slowly walked into the tent she was sharing with Naruto and Sasuke.

Kakashi smiled as he watched her walk into her tent. He turned around and went inside his own tent. He would have fallen asleep right away but something kept him awake. It seemed that Sakura still had something on her mind. However, she didn't want to talk about it. It disturbed him to see his students as troubled as Sakura seemed to have been.

Sakura couldn't get to sleep either that night, all she could think about was Kakashi how handsome he was, and not to mention how caring. She smiled to herself and thought about sneaking into his tent and watching him as he slept or crawling under the covers and sleeping next to him. She exhaled and closed her eyes, she soon feel asleep.
