Unexpected Consequences

Disclaimer: I do not own anything that has to do with 'Naruto'… sadly.

Author's note: This chapter was a bit harder to write… mostly because I didn't really know where exactly the story was going… heh. I would also like to take this moment to thank Kastin-chan, who helped me decide what was going to happen in this chapter. Arigato gozaimasu!

Scroll 2 - Flirtatious Girls and Disgusting Perverts

Sakura's POV:

Time to work my charm! Slowing my pace, I dropped back to walk beside Sasuke.

"How are you, Sasuke?"

He let out a grunt in reply. How cool! Maybe I'll ask him what he wants to do. He will reply with 'Anywhere you go, I will follow' or 'How about my place?' Oh how nice it would be!

I moved closer to the person beside me, hooking my arm in his. But it wasn't Sasuke who I was touching. It just had to be Naruto!

"Hey Sakura…"

Naruto moved his face closer to mine, lips pouted out like a fish. The stench was overpowering, I screamed and fainted.

I woke up with a hideous face looking down on me. Sending my fist into his face, Naruto flew across the room and crashed face-first into a wall.

"Oh good, you're alive."

Hoping to turn and see Sasuke, I find my sensei sitting beside me, reading another one of his books.Is that all heever does?I looked around the room; small and boring.There was Kakashi, and Naruto. But where was Sasuke?

"Um… where's Sasuke?"

"He's in the living room."

That's when I noticed where we were. In Kakashi's house, in his bedroom and I was in his bed! Scrambling out, I bowed to Kakashi and pointed at the dazed Naruto.

"It was his fault!"

"It's alright Sakura."

"He is a disgusting pervert!"

"Calm down."Kakashi hushed me, for I guess I was screaming.

But it's true! That sick Naruto! Imagine if I actually kissed him? I would die! I shivered at the thought of it. It might be best that I leave. I didn't want to do something totally irrational...not in front of my sensei.As I walked out the door, I shot a nasty look in Naruto's direction and immaturely stuck my tongue out.

"Sasuke?"

He was sitting at the table, a glass of sake in front of him. He took no notice of me sitting across from him, so I carefully poured a cup for myself. We sat there in silence, his eyes on his glass, mine on him. Soon enough Kakashi and the brat came out of the room. Naruto dashed to the empty seat beside me but Kakashi swiftly grabbed his collar and placed him beside Sasuke. Phew! That was close…
Paying no attention to the complaining Naruto, Kakashi sat down beside me. He smelt really good! Well, compared to that rotten Naruto. Is that cologne he's wearing? For the first time I become aware of how much I admire Kakashi. He's always relaxed, yet really cool. Sure Sasuke is cool, but a different kind of cool; a mysterious 'you don't know what I'm going to do next' kind of cool. While Kakashi, he is powerful but sweet and caring.

If I didn't know better I would fall for him.

Kakashi's POV:

Live life to its fullest. Never be afraid. Never be blind. Never question fate's plans.
That always played over and over in my mind. I'm not even sure where I heard it, and the meaning perplexes me. It seems obvious, yet I don't get it. Never question fate's plans. How can one believe that when they don't even believe in fate itself?

"How are you, Sasuke?"

Is it fate or just coincidence that I was made their sensei… her sensei?

"Hey, Sakura."

A scream made startled me and I glanced back to see Sakura on the ground, Naruto and Sasuke stood there stunned. What now?

"Eh… Sakura?" Naruto muttered as I walked over to her corpse. Turns out she just passed out and her eyes were still open with shock. Sasuke and I both glared at Naruto, who scratched his head shyly and forced a laugh. Sighing, I picked up the girl and carried her home.

I waited for Naruto to open the front door to my apartment, Sakura still passed out in my arms.

"Hurry up, Naruto."

Sasuke was leaning up against the wall down the hall, and was getting impatient. Naruto hushed him and took out his shuriken, opening the door very slowly. I was getting irritated, for he was taking his time, and I wanted to make sure Sakura was alright. I mean, she had to be alright. She just fainted after all, but I just want to make sure.

"Naruto, what are you doing?"

"Making sure that no one is there."

I nudged him through the door, walked through the dark rooms and gently laid Sakura down on my bed. I brushed away her hair from her face, little beads of sweat forming on her forehead.Looking down at her small form she seemed more helpless than she really is. She was wearing a small summer dress;white with a cherry blossom pattern at the bottom.Little miss cherry blossom.

A crash then shouting could be heard from the other room.

"I can't see!"

"Naruto, you're an idiot. Find the light."

"I'm trying! I'm trying! How could Kakashi-sensei walk through all of this so easily?"

"It's his house, you brainless twerp."

"At least I'm trying to find the light switch! Why don't you try!"

"Because I don't want to walk into a wall…"

At that point a loud thump came from the wall.

"…like that."

"Shut up! Ah, I think I found it…"

There was a click and then light spilled into the room from the doorway. I pulled a chair beside the bed and took out a book to make myself look busy with my reading.Naruto popped up gazing over Sakura, who opened her eyes and blinked.Naruto is in noposition to be glaring down at her like that and he should even know the result.Soon enough Naruto was sent flying across the room, with a fist imprinted on his cheek.

"Oh good, you're alive." I said to her, she looked surprised again to see me. Looking around the room she asked,

"Um… where's Sasuke?"

Why am I not surprised?

"He's in the living room."

She sat there for a moment, absorbing all that happened. Lying in my bed must have been a shock for her, for she jumped up and bowed to me.

"It was his fault!"

Her index finger pointed straight at Naruto.

But I didn't mind at all.

"It's alright Sakura."

She continued.

"He is a disgusting pervert!"

"Calm down." I said softly, hoping to settle her down and she did, although her eyes were still fixated on Naruto. Proceeding to the door, Sakura shot one more glare at Naruto, who was finally coming to his senses. Then she did the cutest thing; she childishly stuck her tongue out and grinned.

I'm not sure why I found that adorable, but she pulled it off perfectly and I found myself smiling.

I could faintly hear her say 'Sasuke' as she walked out of the room and I knew that I should leave them be, it least for a moment. But the house was awkwardly quiet, since Naruto was still in a daze from Sakura's strong punch. She is strong.

I decided to go sit with them none the less, and Naruto got up just in time to follow me.

Sakura was across from Sasuke, her eyes set on his form. But he was taking no notice as always. Naruto went to go sit by Sakura but I moved him to beside Sasuke, for Sakura's sake. It's not like I want… to sit beside her. I mean, she's just my student. So I should feel perfectly comfortable anywhere. So that's what I did, I sat down beside her. She looked up and smiled, expressing that she was thankful. Sipping her cup, she flicked her long cherry blossom hair and her eyes sparkled in what little light there was.

If I didn't know better I would fall for her.

I love how the endings for both POVs are so similar! -squeals-
Ahem... sorry. This took me a loooong time, since I did this in the afternoon. Most of my best work happens in the middle of the morning. Yes Princess I know that its not healthy...
