It had been a week since she had asked her Sensei what filled his nights? Looking back she chalked the question up to wanting to be closer to him. It wasn't until the days following did she become concern that her innocent curiosity had done the opposite of what she had intended. The growing feeling of avoidance soon over came her like a heavy blanket, one that was smothering her beyond anything she could imagine.
Then late one evening, after she had pulled a double at the medical center did she come across her wayward Sensei. She instantly felt relive that he appeared fine, however that emotion soon vanished as she watch silently as a slim older woman seemed to mold herself to his body. She knew from her parents and her medical training what was transpiring between the male and female.
As she continued to watch it was at the point of watching their lips meet in what she could only describe as a passionate kiss did she notice the emptiness and growing nauseating feel in her stomach. The lightness within her seemed to overwhelm her all at once. The just as sudden as it came something hit her, the woman whom Sakura could not name was kissing her Sensei uncovered face. It was then did the anger boil over, it was then did she find herself walk to them and suddenly yanking the woman away from the copy-ninja.
The idea briefly crossed her mind if she was being childish? However the foreign look in her Sensei's eye told her she had possibly crossed a line in breaking his kiss that she might not have wanted to break? But that was a fleeing thought as her eyes settled on his moist uncovered lips. The moments that followed Sakura would never be sure of, one minute he was reaching outward to her and then the next he was gone in a puff of white smoke.
The future of their friendship seemed to be in great danger because of her actions but in the days following Sakura could only fantasize about the feel of his lips. In annoyance she shrugged over Ino's theory that she had became obsessed in the art of kissing.
