Notes before we start: This chapter is from Sakura's point of view.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, and any of the characters in this Fan fiction. I'd love to, but it's not going to happen any time soon.
Warning: Mild Yaoi references ahead. Don't flame the NaruSasu and the KakaSaku :3

Sakura yawned, pushing the snooze button on her alarm clock. She didn't really want to get up, but she wanted to practice her tactics today. Even though she worked at the hospital that was just her part time job; she actually worked as a Tactician for the Konoha ninjas, alongside Tsunade. Even thought the Hokage didn't want to admit it, she was getting older, and needed to find someone to take her tactician job. Obviously, Naruto or Sasuke were going to be the obvious choices for the next Hokage, but that wouldn't be for a while.
She opened her eyes slowly, a little shocked at first, but soon calmed down.
'That's right; I'm living with Kakashi now.' She thought to herself, smiling and blushing as she remembered this. 'Ahh! I fell asleep in the hot-tub! Why are my sleeping patterns so odd!' Sakura sat up angrily and threw a pillow at the wall before standing up and walking to the hallway.
'Where's the bathroom..?' Sakura moaned in her mind. She looked around, noticing a little sign on the door right infront of her saying 'Sakuras Bathroom'. She smiled happily, and then barged inside. As the door slammed, she heard the lock click. Handy feature for Kakashi, just in case he walked into her bathroom instead of his, that was located next door.
She took off her clothes and turned the shower on, stepping into it straight away. It might have been cold, but she needed that extra burst of coldness to keep her awake for the morning. Sakura always had a problem with getting up in the morning, so her daily routine didn't really change too much, even with her job changing.
It felt so weird, training to be a ninja, and then only do the odd C and B rank missions sometimes. After all, medical ninja's weren't always needed in missions, so they were very few. Infact, there was only herself and Shizune that could fight and heal people. She was glad about that; she didn't want to pull anybody away from their missions to protect her when she was trying to heal somebody.
Then, Sakura's mind turned to other things, and people. To name names, she was thinking about Sasuke and Naruto. She felt so bad for watching them both kiss last night, but Kakashi wanted to make sure Sasuke was okay recovering from his coma, or so he said. Personally, she thought that he just wanted to see them kiss, which was a bit weird for a perverted, old and straight man.
At least, that's what Sakura would have called Kakashi in one of these moments of pure 'Kakashi-ness', as only she could put it. Now… She could only think of him as a kind, loving, and pretty sexy man. Sure, he was old enough to be her father, but she didn't care. He was so kind to her, and respected her in every way possible. Unlike other people, he didn't 'take it too far'. She didn't even want to count the many times she'd landed guys in hospital for that. They were all nice, but not respectful.
Thinking about it again, Sakura did have a pretty high standard for men. They had to be cute, kind, understanding and respectful. Kakashi seemed to be none of these when she first met him, but then as they grew up working together, she seemed to see these signs show up. Especially when Sasuke rejected her and Kakashi was the only one who would listen to her story.
She was crying so much, but Kakashi just held her and calmed her down so quickly. He never seemed to be like that with anybody else. That was when it first hit her that they were falling in love. At first, Sakura denied it, and just blamed it on the heat wave they were having, but she soon got over it.Turning the shower off, Sakura stepped out and took her hair out of the bobble she put it in so she wouldn't get it wet. She wrapped a towel around her body and tried opening the door. It was locked, and she couldn't open it.
"Kakashi… Help..?" Sakura moaned pathetically, locked inside the bathroom.

Yeay, only Kakashi's thoughts to do now! Stupid Gaia pulling me in with its wonderful Role Plays… -sigh- Hopefully I'll be able to do Kakashi's before I go. And then, on with the story! It's going to end soon, and there –will- be a sequel. I'm saying this now, there defiantly will be one. Because..? Well, you'll have to wait!
