"Lemme go!" Sakura screamed. Kakashi told Sasuke to find Naruto and tell him training was cancelled. He knew his apartment would be egged by Naruto later on and this he regretted. He carried Sakura along to her house, ignoring the funny glances he received, some people giggles, others glared.

He finally put the screaming kunichi down about halfway to her house to talk to her. "Calm down Sakura!" Kakashi scolded. Sakura huffed and crossed her arms across her chest.

"I'm 17 Kakashi-sensei I think I can handle myself!" she protested. Kakashi smiled and shook his head.

"Really now? Then why am I not convinced?" he asked her. Sakura growled under her breath.

"Let me go to training Kakashi-sensei! PLEASE!" Sakura begged.

Kakashi shook his head. "No. You're going home; and since I know you'll just leave your house I'm going to take care of you." He said taking out his book and picking Sakura up again.

Sakura slammed her fists on Kakashi's back, she was slung over his shoulder. Kakashi ignored the shouts and hits from his student and carried her home. "You know Sakura, this isn't going to make anything easier for you if you keep this up!" Kakashi warned.

Sakura huffed as Kakashi opened the door to her apartment. He put Sakura down and she raced for the door Kakashi grabbed her and set her down again, his hands firmly on her shoulders. "I'm warning you Sakura. Go. To. Bed. Now!" Kakashi stated firmly.

Sakura went into her room and turned up her music as high as it would go to anger Kakashi. The music blared through the speakers and what made it worse was that it was Backstreet Boys. (RLN: AGH WHY DID THEY HAVE TO COME BACK NOO!)

Kakashi sighed and knocked on the door to Sakura's room…no answer. He tried the doorknob…locked.

"She didn't sneak out did she!" Kakashi asked himself angrily. He broke the door down. There Sakura stood in next to nothing she only had a towel on, as she had taken a shower.

"AGH! KAKASHI-SENEI DON'T YOU EVER KNOCK! GET OUT OF MY ROOM!" she screamed. Kakashi covered his eyes and tried to exit the room but tripped over a nightstand hitting his head and blacking out.

Sakura still freaked out had run into her bathroom to change when she came out and found him on the floor she cursed and kicked his body. "Stupid, good for nothing, perverted, sensei!" she scolded. She dragged his incapacitated body into her living room and threw him onto the couch. "Baka." She hissed.

She looked at his motionless body and smirked. 'Now that he's unconscious I can see under his mask!' Inner Sakura said. Sakura shook her head.

"No, he'd kill me!" she argued out loud.

'Come ON! You KNOW you WANT to though!' Inner Sakura countered.

"Fine…I'll do it…" she said finally approaching Kakashi. She gently put a hand on his mask, it was smooth and silky. She tugged on it a little and it slid gently down his nose. She tugged at it a little more revealing his nose, it was perfect in every way. She tugged gently at it again to see his lips, Sakura was in utter shock, he was…gorgeous. She was amazed at his handsomeness. She was so preoccupied with his beauty she that she didn't see his visible eye open.

Sakura jumped when she felt a warm hand clasp around her wrist. "What're you doing?" Kakashi asked putting his mask back on. Sakura blushed crimson red.

"N-nothing…I just-." Sakura started, Kakashi raised his hand for her to stop.

"Lemme guess, you were curious." He said plainly. Sakura nodded. Kakashi shrugged and sat up.

"No matter…but you should be in bed." He said glancing at the clock. Sakura shook her head.

"No, you need to rest…you hit your head pretty hard on my nightstand…Why were you even in my room?" she asked.

Kakashi shrugged, "I hate the Backstreet Boys I wanted you to turn off that damned music before I exploded." He stated simply. Sakura sighed.

"Well, it's my house, so I pick the music." She said smirking. "Now lay down, you need to rest your head…I'll go get you some ice." She said walking into the kitchen. Kakashi jumped off of the couch and dashed to the kitchen. "Nope," he said simply picking Sakura up, "you're going to bed!" he said plopping her down on her bed. She stood up and bounced off of the bed landing on Kakashi's back as he attempted to leave the room.

He fell face first onto the floor. "Sakura? What are you doing?" he asked confused.

"Winning!" she replied giggling. Kakashi sweat dropped and stood up, Sakura still clung to his back.

"Tsk, tsk. Sakura you really shouldn't pick a quarrel with me." Kakashi said swinging her off of his back. She landed on her feet and jumped forward the second she hit the ground tackling Kakashi.

"Ha, ha. I. win." She said triumphantly. Then she noticed the odd position they were in. Her face was just inches from his the tips of her damp hair lightly brushing his face. She jumped off and turned to face a different direction so he couldn't see her hiding a blush. Kakashi sat up.

"Ahem…sorry…" he said standing up he reached into his pocket for his book then he remembered…he'd lost it to a bet with Gai. Gai had won. 'Damn, no Icha Icha Paradise for me then.' He thought to himself.

Sakura still had her back turned but was no longer blushing, she felt like puking…'Maybe I really AM sick!' Inner Sakura thought, 'I mean BLUSHING over a little fluke with KAKASHI!'
