Aloha guys! Sorry I haven't updated in a while… my wrist got really bad all of a sudden… like, it swelled up & got really red, so… yea. But I'm updating! HA! So… R&R!

Disclaimer- I don't own Naruto. Blah to you people who think I do.

There will be some NarutoxSakura fluff in this chapter. Enjoy! And in the summary, I know it says SasukexOCxKakashi, but it's actually just SasukexOC. Sorry about any confusion.

Oh, and in this chapter, Kakashi is VERY VERY VERY OCCish! So, please don't flame or criticize, because he's supposed to be that way. His mind has gone KABOOM from his perverted books…

Kakashi- Hey!
Hikari- mm… sorry?
Kakashi- no you're not! You enjoy making me look like a fool!
Hikari- -looks nervously around- Shh! No one's supposed to know that…
Kakashi- -sweatdrops- Never mind. But readers, please! I'm not actually like that and the author knows it. She's just making me totally messed up! I mean, heh heh, we all know I only like reading about porn stuff, not actually doing it…

(a/n: since it's been a while since I updated, I'll put a refresher from last chapter on here.)

"You know, you two, when you're on a mission, it's a good idea to not give away your position." Kakashi grinned under his mask at the two teens, who instantly froze and blushed.

"H-hey…So we found you first?" Hikari asked hesitantly. Kakashi sweatdropped, but nodded, and Sasuke gave an appreciative smile to Hikari, who returned it. Kakashi smiled, thinking Those two are right out of "Icha Icha Paradise"! Ha, I should flirt with Hikari just to see what Sasuke does. Kakashi grinned evilly. (Me: this is the 'fluffy' part; beware! And Kakashi is kinda OCCish)

"Hey, Hikari, congratulations on finding me first! I mean, you did very well on this exercise," Kakashi praised, smiling slyly. The girl nodded her head, not noticing the weird glint in her sensei's visible eye. Sasuke did, however, and scowled, making Kakashi smirk. His 'genius', well twisted, really, idea was working.

(Me: okay, there was your refresher. on to the actual story now o.0)

Kakashi put his hand on Hikari's shoulder, squeezing it lovingly.

"Well, you are definitely my best student," he said. Hikari blushed.

"Oh, thanks Master Kakashi!" she said. "I really try hard to do my best!" Sasuke's eyes narrowed.

Why is Kakashi doing this? He thought irritatedly. Kakashi will NOT get away with flirting with Hikari…

"Kakashi what are you doing?" Sasuke asked coldly. Kakashi shrugged, sliding his arm around Hikari's shoulders. This made her realize her sensei was acting a bit oddly, and she ducked out of Kakashi's grip.

"S-sensei?" Hikari asked nervously, now noticing the glint in the Great Copy Ninja's eye. The spark was actually amusement at seeing Hikari's flustered appearance and Sasuke's burning jealousy, but the two teenagers mistook it for lust.

Ohh ewww… Hikari thought, shuddering. I'm being fawned over by my teacher! And furthermore, he's what, in his 30's? 40's! Ick!

What the heck? Sasuke thought furiously. Man, he must've snapped, reading those perverted 'Icha Icha Paradise' books… I've got to protect Hikari though… no nasty stuff on my girl.

Suddenly, Kakashi burst out laughing. Sasuke and Hikari deadpanned.

"M-master K-Kakashi…?" Hikari said, inching behind Sasuke.

"Man, you guys are seriously so gullible!" Kakashi gasped, trying to breathe through fits of laughter. "Ha, I got you two soooo bad!" Sasuke sweatdropped.

"So… you're not flirting with me?" Hikari asked, just to make sure. Kakashi shook his head.

"Sasuke's aura of chakra gets stronger every time you're near, so I thought it'd be funny to tease you," Kakashi said, shrugging. Hikari fell over, anime style, in disbelief. Sasuke turned 7 shades of red.

"Hn," he said, embarrassment written all over his face. Kakashi grinned through his mask.

"Sorry, but it was funny, you gotta admit…"

Naruto and Sakura POV

"Sakura! Sakura-chan, wait up!" Naruto called, running after the sobbing, pink-haired konoichi. "Sakura!"

"Naruto, what do you want?" Sakura snapped, furiously wiping away her tears. Naruto stopped, unsure of what to do.

"Sakura, Sasuke isn't the only guy in this world, you know," Naruto said, trying to comfort his friend. Sakura slowed down, and looked at Naruto with big, sad eyes.

"B-but… Sasuke was my f-first l-love…" she hiccupped, and began to cry into Naruto's shoulder. Naruto blushed, but held her and awkwardly patted her shoulder.

"Sakura-chan," Naruto said, but Sakura stopped him, wiping away the rest of her tears.

"You don't have to say anything, Naruto-kun," she said, smiling. Naruto froze, blushing. N-Naruto-kun? Since when— Naruto's thoughts were cut short by the feel of velvety lips against his own.

"Sakura…" he murmured, deepening the kiss that Sakura started. "My cherry blossom…" Sakura smiled, feeling Naruto's hand stroke her pink locks.

"Now I know that you were the one for me," she gushed. "Not Sasuke." Naruto smiled as Sakura nestled her head in the crook of his neck.

"I'll be here for you, so forget Sasuke-baka." Naruto stroked Sakura's soft cheek with his finger. Sakura nodded and sighed, leaning against Naruto. But suddenly, a huge blast of white chakra exploded, sending birds cawing and flying through the air. Naruto and Sakura fell out of the tree they were in and landed on the ground with a THUMP!

"AAAHHH!" Sakura screamed, clutching Naruto's shirt. Naruto gritted his teeth, holding Sakura's waist tightly with his arm.

"Ow." Naruto sat up and rubbed his head. They were sitting on cool, dry earth, and when Sakura looked up, there was a long, long tunnel with a tiny glimmer of light at the top.

"Uh oh…" Sakura said, frowning. "I don't think we'll be able to get up that way…" Naruto agreed; it was at least several miles they had fallen.

"Well, I guess we're stuck here…together," Naruto said, grinning mischievously at Sakura, who blushed.

"Aa," she said, and they took hands and began walking deeper into the darkness, hoping that it would end up somewhere safe…above ground.

Well, how'd you like it? I hope it was good, and yea I know, I know, I'm really slow at updating now, BUT my stupid darn idiot crazy foolish WRIST DOCTOR won't let me type.Well, not that muchanyway.Sooooo... I tried to make this chapter interesting, and guess what?

I'm going to update each of my stories with one chapter, then I'm going to wait awhile, then I'll update again. Oh yea… I started another Naruto story, but I'm not going to post it for a couple months...(say like, sometime in April maybe?)Sorry, but you're going to have to wait… but here's info on stories…

"Walk Through The Rain" – duh, this IS "Walk Through The Rain", and I just updated it!

"Goddess of the Waves" – working on that one as soon as I'm done doing this chappie.

"Riku's Return" – a Kingdom Hearts fanfic that I started. It's truthfully only rated a 5 out of 10 by me, but if you PROMISE to R&R my stories, I'll make it better. I promise I will.

So, on that note, READ AND REVIEW PLEASE I KNOW YOU WANT TO!
