And any flames sent by sasuke fangirls will be added to the wood under sasuke's feet and flamers will have to watch as Sasuke burns!..That'll teach him not to mess with my Pocky.

Naruto:………..

Me: I don't have a problem.

Naruto:. –watches sasuke burn-……why didn't I think of that?

Sakura just stared with wet eyes at this young man who was holding her. His blue eyes seemed to gaze right through her and his hands..they were so…warm. Sakura just kept staring while Inner Sakura was throwing a fit. 'Damn, he's hot! I want him! He's mine!' But Sakura turned her head remembering why she was crying in the first place. Because of some cute guy. His hands gripped her harder. And his eyes kept staring. But this time coldly. "Who put that bruise there?" Eep! Sakura's hand shot up to cover the mark. " It-it's nothing. Just training. Got hurt. Silly me." He frowned. Obviously not convinced. A voice called out from the foliage. "Sakura!" 'No…it's him.' Sakura tried to get out of the strangers grasp but to no avail and the cries got louder and louder until Sasuke entered from the foliage. "Sakura! Oh I'm so glad I found you! I'm sorry for…who's this?" Sasuke looked at the stranger intently. "Who're you?" The stranger just glared and put himself between Sakura and Sasuke. "Sakura, who is this" Sasuke asked again since he wasn't getting any answers from the stranger. "I..I. don't know." She stammered. "Take your hands off of Sakura!-chan!" yelled an all too familiar voice. Naruto charged at the stranger head on. But went right through him! "uwhat?" Naruto was confused. Which was evident by all the question marks above his head. He's not a shdow clone or a water clone..but he's not affected….wait' "Naruto, hes moving too fast for you to see." The stranger smirked. Though Naruto was still confused. "Argh! Too much! I don't need to know how to beat you! I'll rescue Sakura-chan!" And he charged again but forming seals with his hands. "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" and multiple shadow clones appeared and attacked from every direction.. Still nothing. "Argh! I don't understand! What do you want with Sakura-chan!" The stranger ignored them and turned to Sakura who was quite confused as well. On multiple things. "Well this certainly is interesting" said a voice in it's usual monotone. "I may have to put up my book for this one." "Kakashi-sensei!" yelled Naruto. "I know I'll get her from him."

"No that's not what I want!"

"Hmm?"

"You stiffed me at the Ramen bar!"

Kakashi sweatdropped, "I never said I was paying for you."

"Argh! You tricked me!"

Kakashi smirked and inspected his opponent. He was completely open and so Kakashi took out a kunai and attacked his opponent. Faster than the three could see the two clashed and stayed at a stalemate both trying to push each other back. "Kakashi's one eye opened wide. The boy wasn't using a weapon but his bare hands! His hand held a flat side of the kunai. Jumping back and breaking the struggle he jumped forward again and they clashed again but no stalemate but kept jumping around and clashing. Kakashi rushed his opponent but the boy dodged around palm striked kakashi in his stomach and then another to his head. Kakashi was well enough surprised and fell down but flipped in midair and landed on his feet. "Youre good. Guess I'll have to use this." Taking his hand and revealing his sharingan eye. "Now I'll be able to see your every movement.." the look on the boys face said it all. Kakashi waited and looked into the boys eyes. Reading his mind when he would attack. "Hatake Kakashi, the Copy Ninja. Your reputation precedes you."

"Oh so you've heard of me? I'm flattered."

"As am I. But I'll stand down for now. I have no wish to fight you."

Kakashi almost seemed to sigh under the mask. "Aww but I was just getting warmed up."

The boy and Kakashi jumped down to the three waiting chuunin. "Kakashi-sensei! Whats going on? What happened? Youre all cool now.I'm confused.!" Naruto yelled seeing the boy and Kakashi side by side. "We got to know each other." Kakashi lightly chuckled at his joke. "Still doesn't answer what he was doing with Sakura" Sasuke stated. Kakashi looked to the boy, "Oh yeah about that..mind filling us in?" The boy looked at a nervous Sakura. 'Oh Kami! What if he tells Kakashi-sensei about the bruise?'

"She tripped while running. I just helped her up."

"Oh and the mark on her cheek?" 'Ah! Kakashi-sensei saw the bruise?' She stared helplessly at the boy. The situation was now in his hands now. But what was he going to say? Tapping a big rock with his foot he said, "Rocks'll do that if they hit your face." 'And he stated it so matter-of-factly too!' Kakashi thought.

"Well ok if that's what you say. But why are you here anyway?" The boy seemed to be trying to remember. "Oh yeah! I was on my way to the Jounin Exams but found out they weren't for awhile so just looking around for a village to stay at until it's time. I've heard theres a Hidden Village of the Leaf but cant find it…guess that's why I cant find it. Aha." He laughed sheepishly. "That'll be the reason," said Sasuke. Kakashi sighed, "Well if you're in need of a place to stay then you need to speak with our Hokage. She may let you stay but you'll need to be taken in first." The boy nodded. "Oh well knew I'd get into trouble with the law sooner or later." and grinned. "Sasuke, Sakura and Naruto I want you to take him to the Hokage. I'll be there in a little bit.." the boy was about to sqy something but Kakashi gave him a stern glare and he just kept quiet. But instead went over to Sakura. "Hello there. Sakura is it?" she nodded and was instantly in a warm embrace. "uh..um." she didn't know what to say. But it felt..so warm and cozy. So she hugged back. Naruto had his mouth agape and for once couldn't say anything at all while Sasuke silently trembled with jealousy. 'Jealously? I'm not jealous! I don't even like her!…..then why am I feeling like this?' The two stopped and Sakura couldn't help but blush violently when she saw everyone saw. "Um..what was that for?" He just smiled "You looked like you could use a hug. Now come on lead the way or I'll get lost." The four walked away and Kakashi fell to his knees coughing up blood. 'Those hits hurt more than I realized. Seems that I'll be okay but I broke a rib or two. ..ow. He forfeited but if the match continued..who knows who would've won?.Just who is that kid?' "well better get going." Kakashi got up and walked in the direction of the others. "Ow"

Me: Plz!- gets down on knees-

Sakura: I was joking….-sweatdrop-

Me: So was I..-cough-

Me: Don't judge me.
