Chapter SEVEN - Mistakes
It had been three weeks since the failed attempt of removing Kakashi's mask and two of which Sakura hadn't seen her friends. Having some time off from her friends seemed to happen so often when they had fun the days before. As Kakashi had discussed with himself, he wanted to get away from Sakura as much as possible. She couldn't help but think there's something wrong.
Sakura's mind exploded with confusion. She decided to go take a walk at the waterfront. As she left her apartment building, she was very relieved the clerk hadn't been giving her a hard time lately. If he kept assuming she had short term memory loss, she might as well have one so that she wouldn't notice what he was saying.
It was around 9 PM and it was quite chilly at nights during the summer. Sakura dressed in a calve-length baggy capri and a hoodie sweater. She tied her hair in a ponytail and a few side bangs drifted to the left as the light breeze blew against his face. Sakura used Kohona as her playground of thoughts. Everywhere she looked it seemed like Kakashi was there. However, it was just an illusion. She hoped of straightening things over with this walk but it seemed to make things even worst because she found herself battling with her conscience.
Why? Was it because I tried to steal his mask? I didn't even try! I wasn't intending to anyway. I...
What about that book he was reading at the tree?
What about it?
You are truly clueless.
Shut up! You belong in my head so you're just as clueless as I.
Hey, I'm just trying to help you.
Sakura sighed. Just admit it you're falling for him. It's not that there's something wrong with him, it you.
She put her hands on the sides of her head and shook it abruptly. Stop it!
I swear, I'll just leave if you just admit it. I'm not doing this to piss you off. You have to realize this because I know that we aren't happy with Hatsuharu.
Yes, I am. He's so perfect and he the first person that I fell in love with and that loves me back.
Your first? Who saved your life countless times?
I...uh...I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING!
Sure you do.
Sakura calmed down. You're right. I...I...I do like him. No! Wait, I don't know what I'm feeling towards him but it makes me happy to see him. I guess, that's why I'm always looking for him. But I...wish...I wish that I could go back to that time we fell off the tree. I knew I felt something there but I refrained. I like his touch, his smell. I love everything about him. Why am I so BLIND? Why am I in a situation like this? Hatsuharu...Kakashi...I want everything to go back to the way it was when I first returned to Kohona. Then, I wouldn't have met Hatsuharu. He is so nice. I don't want to hurt his feelings.
Sakura's conscience had left as she blurted everything she felt about Kakashi. Sakura walked along the top of a brick wall.
Kakashi is fourteen years older than I am. But it doesn't feel wrong. What if you're so in love that age doesn't matter.
...Love?
Sakura was cut off from her thoughts by a certain blondie. "Hey Sakura."
Sakura abruptly turned around. While taking her next step, she had missed the surface of the wall.
"SAKURA!" Ino yelled as she witnessed what happened.
Sakura fell head first from the wall. Her position on the ground had frightened Ino as she ran to her.
Oh my god, I'm sorry Sakura. Ino thought. She couldn't help but think it was her fault. She picked up Sakura and carried her over her shoulder.
"Help!" Ino yelled desperately. Her sharp eyes spotted movement in the woods. She ran towards the figure.
It's Kakashi. Kakashi had been working out for the pass few weeks trying to keep his mind off Sakura. He had probably been doing handstand push-ups since the afternoon.
"Kakashi! Sakura's hurt! Please help!" She lay Sakura down on the grass, "She fell off a wall. It's all my fault. I'm sorry!" Ino cried.
"No, it's not. I'll take her to Tsunade. Go find Sasuke and Naruto." Kakashi said softly.
"I...I hope she'll be alright." She sniffed.
"Don't worry about it. Sakura's a strong person. I know she'll be okay," he assured her.
Ino nodded and went to go do was she was assigned to do.
It's all my fault...

Kakashi carried Sakura in his arms. He didn't want to think that she looked peaceful. He grasp her hand tightly. Sakura don't leave me...
