'Do you know them Kakashi-sensei?' Sakura asked quizzically
'Of course, I know them. They were my ex-genin team' Kakashi said still with a grin plastered on his face.
'You can't teach TWO Genin teams at once!' Naruto yelled attempting to give Kakashi a lecture
'He didn't have two teams at the same time, dobe.' Sasuke in an annoying tone.
'They were my team before I had you guys. Apparently I failed them for lack of teamwork and based on my judgment, I still don't think they've got it yet'
The 4 of them looked at the three frozen statues who apparently still haven't registered the fact that their ex-sensei was standing in front of them. Keritsu shook her had and snapped out of her gaze.
'You are no longer our sensei, Kakashi, you have no right to judge us. But I must say that your judgment is wrong. The three of us work perfectly together including Ibiki-sensei.' She said helping her two team mates up.
Kakashi still had the grin on his face, 'You really haven't changed, have you?
This time Keritsu grinned back, 'I'm afraid not.'
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Getting to know Kakashi's team was fun. Naruto, Sito and Keritsu got along very well. Keritsu wasn't like every girl who loves to dress up but unfortunately Sakura was that type. They got along pretty well. As for Sasuke and Yamato, they just sat there eating their Ramen without a word spoken.
Kiba, Chouji, Shikamaru and Lee were passing by Ichiraku when all of a sudden naruto yelled 'Hey guys, Kakashi's givin' a treat'
'What treat?' Kakashi asked when Sito bonked Kakashi on the head.
'It's been a long time you met all of us, SO YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR OUR RAMEN!'
'Might as well invite the whole Konoha...' Kakashi said sheepishly.
'Who are those three?' Kiba asked out of interest pointing a finger at two smiling faces and a grouchy one.
'They were Kakashi-sensei's ex-team, Kiba-kun.' Sakura answered politely
Kiba went up to Yamato and said 'Hey!' but Yamato just said 'I don't like you' and Kiba retorted 'Who said thati like you?'
Lee kept on talking about youth which made everyone sweatdropping every single time but he did talk about taijutsu too. Suprisingly, Yamato took interest in the lotus boy.
Chouji and Naruto were having a ramen-eating contest, and the obvious winner was of course... CHOUJI! Shikamaru kept saying 'troublesome ramen' , 'troublesome contest' but he did cheer Chouji on cause he was his best friend. For the first time in history, Naruto felt sick and tired of ramen but looking at the number of bowls he ate and the number of bowls Chouji ate, Naruto smiled. He was just beaten by a single bowl. Looking over at Chouji, he didn't look one bit sick, but he ordered one more bowl of miso ramen. Everyone sweatdropped looking at the number of bowls he ate except Naruto, who was looking proud of Chouji for appreciating the true taste of Ramen.
Kiba in the mean while was talking to Kakashi. Suprising eh? They were battling at whose dog was much better - Akamaru (Kiba's) VS Pakun (Kakashi's Summoning no jutsu). Kiba laughed over Pakun not being a fighting dog. Akamaru WAS a fighting dog but unfortunately he wasn't a talking dog like Pakun. Kiba loved all type of dogs but he loved Akamaru alot. Akamaru was given to him at a very young age. You can understand his feeling can you? In the end Kiba started to like Pakun and Kakashi patted Akamaru on his back - how dogs love it!
After everyone had finished their Ramen and fun, poor Kakashi had to pay for the twenty over bowls.
He sighed and thought 'These kids can really get dangerous at times.'
Due to Sasuke being a mind-reader, he just smirked at Kakashi and walked out of Ichiraku signalling Sakura to follow. (Hmm... What's going on?)
'Err.. Bye guys. Thanks, Kakashi-sensei, for the treat. I really have to go now. It was nice meeting you all, Sito-kun, Yamato-kun, Keritsu' nodding her head towards them while saying that, and she ran out off Ichiraku, towards Sasuke's direction.
'Shikamaru and I have to meet Asuma-sensei later. We have to be going now or we'll be late and after all that food i don't want to run around Konoha.' Chouji said triumphantly as he ate the most bowls of Ramen than anyone else.
He left together with Shikamaru muttering 'troublesome meeting', 'troublesome punnishments.'
'I've wasted alot of time today. I didn't do much training today, It's still not late, I'll go and practice some Taijutsu now and let the youth in me shine!' Lee said with a cheerful voice.
'Lee, can I train my Taijutsu with you?' He asked in a serious tone (well, ofcourse that's he's only tone)
'Sure, let the youth in you shine too!' Lee said with a Nice-Man-Pose.
So the only ones left were Kakashi, Keritsu, Sito, Naruto and Kiba.
After paying the Ramen from his fat wallet, Kakashi looked at the skimpy looking wallet in distress.
'Naruto, you eat too much!' Kakashi said disapprovingly.
'A growing boy has to eat!' Naruto replied jumping up and down enthusiastically.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Everyone left for their seperate ways. Kakashi and Keritsu were neighbours so they walked together home.
'You know what? You have changed drastically!' Kakashi said gazing at Keritsu
'I have? As in what?'
'You look even more beautiful than the other girls in konoha.' he said in a dreamy voice.
There was a short pause in between.
'Yeah right.' she said with a faint blush on her face.
Kakashi was admiring Keritsu's face while she was pondering on what he said.
When they reached his house he snapped out of his gaze and wondered why did he just do that 'If you don't believe, fine,' he said opening the door 'but just so you know, you look even preetier when you blush.' And with that he closed the door, leaving a rather puzzled Keritsu behind.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Note : This brings us to the time when Sakura ran to catch up with Sasuke from Ichiraku)
'Sasuke-kun. Please wait!' Sakura panted as she finally caught up with Sasuke
'Sakura, I'm not walking that fast!'
'Nevermind' Sakura replied with a blush on her face when she saw Sasuke staring at her.
'I like it when you blush, cause you turn all red and adorable' Sasuke said passionately as he helped the still-panting Sakura onto a bench far away from people's gossiping eyes.
Sakura blushed at the statement. Sasuke put an arm over Sakura and brought her closer to him. They cuddled for a while and played with each other's hairand they looked really cute together. Suddenly Sasuke brought his lips near to her ear and said 'Sakura, I will always love you, no matter what happens, I won't let anyone or anythingharm you, that's my promise.'
'Sasuke, I love you to, but I'm old and strong enough to take care of myself'
Suddenly Sasuke hugged Sakura really tightly and pinned her down on tothe bench. Sakura was still at shock but suddenly she felt something soft, warm and wet touch against her lips. She realised that was Sasuke's kiss. She was looking forward for that for a long time and finally the time has come. With most passion, Sakura kissed Sasuke back. After and awkward moment of kissing, they both realised where they were and in what position they were in. They both blushed at the thought of that and Sasuke got off. (Note : Imagine Sasuke blush! Won't that look cute? Hahaz.. Just Joking) Even though the place was remote, they didn't take advantage of each other.
'Err... Let me walk you home, Sakura' the uchiha prodigy finally mustered up the courage to ask her.
'Sure... Sasuke-kun', and with that they both walked home hands held tightly together.

Author's Note : Just wanted to fluffen things up a bit. Hehe. As you know love takes time, so Kakashi and Keritsu still have a long way to go but none of them have fallen in love or has a minor crush on each other. Kakashi just finds keritsu pretty, that's all. The rest of the people will be coming out in the next chappie. NejiXTenten. This story will be much better in the coming chappies. I've had some nice ideas which i think will liven up the story and there will be minor fightings against the Akatsuki but they won't interrupt the fluff! R&R please!
