--Chapter 3--

"I'll do it..." Sakura lept into his arms and wrapped her arms tightly around his chest, unbeknownst to the two, a shadowed figure was crouched in the branched above making his own plans.

The sky was now a hazy pink, dark clouds had covered much of the sky and the sun showed itself one more time from behind a cloud before it sunk behind the mountains. Inside the Haruno house Sakura was eye to eye with Kakashi who had taken the form of her. Sakura couldn't help but admire her own beauty. Although, Kakashi just couldn't quite get her skin tone right, her eyes were more brilliant and innocent. While Kakashi zoned out to Sakura rambling on about invisible flaws he pulled out his latest issue of icha icha paradise from his pocket and had barely opened the book when..

"Kakashi!!!!!!" Sakura ripped the profanity from her copy's hands, "It is not lady like to be reading that! Furthermore," Sakura pointed to Kakashi's black pants, shirt and green jounin vest, "You definitely cannot go out looking like that!" Sakura strode to her closet and opened it up in a way in which you would open the doors to a palace. In her case it made sense.

Clothes were now flying by Kakashi's face and landing everywhere. Sakura turned around and smiled triumphantly and held up in one hand a short black kimono type dress embroidered in pink with little cherry blossoms sewn into the material. She then held up her other hand which was holding a pair of strappy black heels.

'Perfect.." Sakura thought to herself, 'He almost looks as good as the real thing.'

When Sakura had finally finished dressing, primping and giving her copy a makeover, it was time.

"I'm pretty hot," Kakashi was checking himself out in the mirror and made sure Sakura wasn't looking when he inconspicuously groped his chest.

When Kakashi had finished admiring himself he turned to Sakura and they gave each other a smirk when they heard the doorbell ring. Sakura pushed Kakashi out of Sakura's bedroom door. Kakashi turned back around to have one quick glance at Sakura before he had to go but found himself face to face with a wooden barrier. He heard a slight click.

"Answer the door baka or he might get suspicious!" Sakura yelled through the door. Kakashi felt a little nervous. Not because he was disguised and dressed as a girl and not the fact that he was going on a date with his rival, who was a male, but what if Gai … made a move?

Kakashi shuddered at the thought as he made his way down a wooden staircase. Before Kakashi had reached the bottom step, Gai burst through the door in a dark green tuxedo with a bouquet of roses in his hand and chocolates in the other. He was so disturbed he then nearly fell down the remaining step and just barely caught himself on the railing, forcing himself to keep a straight face. Gai stepped closer and closer. He knelt down on one knee and grabbed Kakashi by the hand. Kakashi's eyes grew wide and his face held a horrified expression as a pursed mouth forced itself onto Kakashi's hand before he jerked it away.

'She's flattered..' Gai thought as he noticed Sakura leaning over the side of the railings of the stairs muttering to herself.

"Oh… My.. God.. Gai just kissed me.."

'What a cutie..' He pulled himself back into a standing position.

"I think I'm going to barf"

"She loves me!" Gai yelled out loud, thinking he was only saying it in his head. Kakashi's glowered head turned to look at Gai and his body shuddered.

"Kill me now…"

Walking towards Sakura, Gai held out the flowers and chocolates. Kakashi forced a laugh, grabbed the chocolates and swept by the bouquet, knocking them to the floor. He then walked to the door, glanced back at Gai then opened it and walked out.

"She's hot!" Gai whispered to his self as he followed Kakashi out the front door, closing it behind him.

-5 minutes ago-

Sakura waited patiently to hear her front door open and close. When she heard the door click shut she bolted to her window and watched as Kakashi walked 10 feet in front of Gai. When she could not see them anymore she jumped onto her bed and fell back onto her pillows.

'He better not make a move on my Kakashi!'

After laying there for about 20 minutes she got up and paced around, then did some sit-ups. She just couldn't sit still.

'What if Gai was trying to violate Kakashi and Kakashi kicked his ass!! Then Gai would know for sure that it wasn't actually me!!' Sakura started getting anxious; a little too anxious for she threw herself off her bed and down the stairs. Just as she was about to open the door, she realised it was slightly ajar.

Someone was in the house! Sakura wasn't prepared at all and felt a slight twinge of fear. She was about to run out of the door, thinking it would be a lot safer then inside at this point when she heard a deep familiar voice and felt a hand rest on her shoulder. She it out a relieved smile and turned around to face the silver haired jounin.

"It's just me"

"I know.." Sakura was now looking up at Kakashi's forehead protector "Why aren't you with Gai? Did he let you go home early?"

'really early' She thought, 'It's only been 25 minutes..'

Kakashi nodded his head. Sakura couldn't help but notice that he had a very weird look in his eyes, a very bitter look.

"Kakashi… are you alrig…"

"This is stupid" Kakashi interjected.

"What is.." Sakura gave him a weak smile, hoping he wasn't doing what she thought he was.

"I ended up talking to Gai while we were walking. He asked me why I was with someone so old and what my real purpose was for dating him." Sakura gave a reassuring smile and went to hug him but he grabbed her by the wrists and continued. "I thought about it and I argued with myself. Why is Sakura interested in me? After awhile, I made a decision." He lowered his gaze to the floor, "That's when I came back to talk to you."

"Please don't tell me that you'd think I'm using you for something!"

"Why are you so interested in me Sakura??"

"Do you even have to ask? We have a connection Kakashi! I love you!"

"You love me? How can you?! I'm almost twice your age! Unless you planned on sticking by me as support, maybe to give you a little lenience in the chuunin exam next time around?" Sakura couldn't stop it. Her fist shot out to hit the man, but it was blocked.

"Your pathetic, you know? To think that I love someone and put trust into someone who only thinks I'm using them.." Tears were now streaming down her face. Kakashi didn't speak but only turned around and walked through the door, leaving the upset girl kneeling on the floor, her face covered by her hands. The door was creaking as the breeze blew it back and forth. The creaking stopped. Sakura looked up at the door and saw a shadowed figure.

Yui: Well tell me what you think? ooo i wonder who's at the door? is it Kakashi? and who is that mysterious person lurking everywhere?? well REVIEW! btw! thanks to all who have reviewed my last chapters!! you guys are what keeps me going!!
