Blanket Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. If you thought I did, that's sad.

A/N: Well, this is in celebration of 50 reviews for Introspection. Sadly, Im not too happy with it. I'll make it up in the next chapter of Introspection. I'm kinda stuck on how to make it funny. I just think the idea is funny. Sigh...

Story 2: Sakura's New Hobby

Sakura was on the bridge waiting for Kakashi. She and the jounin had a mission together. After Team 7 was disbanded when Naruto and Sasuke became jounin, Sakura had random missions with other jounins. Since she was one of the best medic nins in the village, she was quite busy, needless to say stressed out. At the poof, Sakura turned around, about to begin the same tradition of yelling at the jounin for how late he was. Upon turning around, she came face to face with the cover of the famous book Kakashi always carried around.

This time, the book was different. Sakura grabbed the book. She couldn't believe it. "Kakashi-sensei, is this what I think it is?"

Kakashi looked up from the second book that he had pulled out when the woman had grabbed his book. "Mah, Sakura, you're a bright woman. I know you wanted that book. You didn't have to be rude and grab it out of my hand like that." His visible eye curved, showing his amusement at the other's reactions.

Sakura was blushing red as she read the title over and over again. "Icha Icha Sasuke's Beloved?"

Kakashi smiled at the woman. "Yep, one of Jiraiya-senseis best works, after Icha Icha Paradise. Shall we be off to our mission?"

Sakura numbly nodded while putting the book in her pack.

Whenever Sakura had a chance, she would whip out the book and begin reading it. Soon enough, people began to believe that she was taking on Kakashi's habit. She would be carrying the book and reading it wherever she went.

As if that didn't look suspicious enough, she could be found taking notes constantly from mentioned books.

Sakura eventually became a regular at the bookstores. She also became a leading expert on various sexual talks. From time to time, she would give lectures to various clubs on the Icha Icha series. Kakashi and Sakura became literature buddies and discussed the series on various occasions.
