Kakashi held Sakura to him. Trying to comfort her. She just looked so hurt and lost, he couldn't help but want to protect her.

They stayed like that for a while, until Sakura stopped crying. Even a bit after. Sakura had to push herself away to break the embrace.

"Sorry," she said, wiping tears from her face with her sleeve. "This was just so fast. I guess I just couldn't handle it."

Kakashi nodded, "I know how you feel," he said, getting up. "Now, get changed, we are going to train."

Sakura's eyes widened. One minute, he was comforting her, the next, it was back to the old, heartless man. She glared at him and stormed off to her room, slamming the door.

That bastard! Her inner self screamed. Throwing open some bags of clothing, she got out a red and white tank top, a pair of skin tight black shorts, a pair of sandals, a pack of kunai, and a pouch filled with miscellaneous items. As an afterthought, she got some fishnet arm warmers and matching sleeveless tank. A thick black band was sewn on to bind her breasts. It worked better than most sports bras, she came to find out.

She angrily put on the clothes and walked out of her room. Kakashi was waiting for her, wearing black pants, black shirt, and a thick green vest with six pockets on the front. His hands were covered in fingerless gloves with a little metal band on the top. He had a similar pouch and kunai pack. Over his odd eye, there was a dark blue band with a metal plate with a leaf design etched in it. And of course, that damn mask was on.

She glared at him. He looked her up and down. Wow, she's hot when she's mad…

"Okay, lets go." he said walking to the door, not waiting for her. He took his keys off a hook and opened the door waiting or her. She just stormed past him.

"We'll take my car," he said, following after her. Damnit, why is she mad now!

Sakura walked over to his car in the parking garage of his apartment and waited for him. Arms crossed over her chest. She didn't know why she was so mad anymore. Sure, Kakashi was a jerk, but she had to deal with that. But maybe if she stayed mad, the training would end faster.

Kakashi unlocked his door, then stepped in, Sakura soon followed suit. She started the car and quickly drove out to the street.

They drove towards the outer parts of the city. There were more trees and fields now. Not a lot of houses.

They drove for about ten more minutes, then stopped at a secluded copse of cherry trees. In the center, was a large field, and somewhere behind the trees was a bubbling brook.

He stepped out of the car as soon as it shut off and started walking to the field. Sakura slowly opened her door and got out, looking around.

"Wow," she breathed. It was beautiful. She could get used to this place. Why hadn't she seen this before? She could feel her anger slip from her body to be replaced my a sense of calm.

She walked up to Kakashi, having to catch up with him.

He stopped in the middle of the field and finally looked at her. There, now she's not mad anymore… He couldn't help but feel a bit sad about that. He could have had some fun training.

"Okay," he said, smiling some. "I want you to work on your speed and endurance. I noticed that you were lacking in those with your fight with Ino."

"You watched that whole thing!" she said.

"Ah, I see you didn't notice that the mirror was actually a window," he said, a smirk evident on his lips through the mask.

Sakura blinked. That was a window? Shit! She glared at him, "Well sorry for being a little distracted!"

"No excuse. One must be aware of one's surroundings at all times." Kakashi said matter-of-factly. He got a growl in response.

"With that in mind, I want you to run the perimeter of this field fifty times for a warm-up, then tell me everything that you see." Hey, it was stupid, but it got the point across.

"Fifty!" she squeaked. He nodded. "Fine, I can do that, no problem."

"Well, then if it's no problem, when you are done, you will then spar with me until you either win, or pass out. And I think the later is the most likely result." Now he was getting cocky.

With one last glare, Sakura set out for the fifty laps. It was nice. Perfect scenery. Calm, quiet. At least, she thought that for the first two laps.

Kakashi watched her under the shade of a large cherry tree. She was keeping a good, slow paced jog, she might make it. After watching her for a few laps, he took out a book from his pouch and started reading.

Sakura was on her thirtieth lap, she was starting to get tired. She glanced over at Kakashi to see him reading. She glared and started to run faster. Only twenty more laps to go.

About twenty minutes later, she finally got a good look at what he was reading. It was a little orange book with a circle and a line going through it on the back. She recognized the cover of "Echa Echa Paradaisu" almost immediately after she got a good look at it. Naruto's weird friend wrote the perverted books.

That pervert! she thought, glaring at him. She stopped right as she was going to pass him and yelled, "Kakashi! You pervert!"

Blinking he looked up, "Huh?"

"That, that book!" she sputtered. "You pervert!"

Kakashi looked down at said book, "Yeah, it's a good book…"

"Its filth! Nothing but smut!"

The ANBU blinked. So?

Sakura screamed out in annoyance and continued running. She was on her last lap. When she was done, she stopped again at him. "Okay, lets spar and get this over with."

"Wait, what was the other part of the running?" Kakashi said, his eye not looking away from the page. It was getting really good.

Sakura glared. Bastard… "I saw cherry trees, a little stream, there were some wild flowers growing in that corner, and you were here reading that thing…"

"You forgot something," he said, turning the page.

"What? What did I forget?"

"There were squirrels in said trees, and there were baby birds in this tree."

The pink-haired girl glared at him some more, not saying a word.

Author's Note:

Well, I guess people liked the last chapter. That makes me happy.

Now, to answer some things…

Saiko Kaiya- I'm glad you like it! And I don't mind criticism, as long as its creative and helpful. So email me, or send a review in with your ideas and I will think about it and hopefully make the changes. I actually don't mind criticism. I just don't really enjoy bashing.

Lovelycloud- Now, if I gave away who the rebels were, that would ruin the story. Just read and you'll find out.
