Chapter 3: Kakashi-sensei
Ishimaru was walking to practice.
This was her second day being an apprentence.
It was great! Mostly because of who her trainer was."Kakashi-sensei". thought Ishimaru
"Wouldn't it be great if I was to become thier perminant second sensei! Then I would definatly be able to see Kakashi all the time"!
She new she was just dreaming, it would never happen. "But it doesn't hurt to dream!"
Her head was whirling, and she felt like skiping and dancing through the street! Even though the street was empty, she would never do it. She was not the most out going person.
" Maybe I could learn something from that Sakura girl"...she thought. " That kid she likes, Sasuke, seems pretty tough, but I hope she gets to him ( in a good way), they would be so cute together".
She was so busy talking with herself that she didn't notice the presence of another person.
-----------------------
Kakashi had been early on perpose. He new that Ishimaru wouldn't be late, so he was going to "accidently" bump into her, or something.
From around the corner he saw her walking.
"I have to make it look casual". he thought
He had starting having crazy thoughts ever since yesterday when she kissed him on the cheek. It was only the cheek. But ever since then his stomach had been acting funny...
Isimaru was getting closer.
------------------------
Isimaru was in a daze, and didn't see what happened next coming.
He started walking.
She bumped right into him.
----------------
Boom!
--------------
" Oh I am so sorry"! said Ishimaru and started to get up.
Then she saw it was Kakashi with his butt on the floor infront of her.
She giggled, and blushed.
" Gomen ne Kakashi". said Ishimaru. Her inner self started humming...
" It's o.k". said Kakashi getting up.
Ishimaru stuck out her hand to help.
He took it. Boy did it feel warm.
She helped him up.
"I was daydreaming, I didn't sense you". She said, kind of embaressed.
" It's o.k". He said. Inner Kakashi: "Yes!"
Ishimaru didn't know what to say.
Kakashi looked at his watch. " Looks like I'll be early for once". said Kakashi breaking the silence. He smiled.
" Your always late"? said Ishimaru
" Yeah. It really pisses Naruto, and Sakura off". He said with a smile.
" Your bad". said Ishimaru
He smiled.
" Yeah. I've been making a game of it. I wait to leave so I'll be late". said Kakashi
Ishimaru gave a big smile.
" So shall we go"? said Ishimaru.
" Sure". said Kakashi
They walked down the street together.
They arrived at the training field.
" Kakashi-sensei your...early? said Sakura and Naruto
" Why does she have to be so loud"...thought Sasuke
" Hey guys"! said Ishimaru
" Hi" said Sakura and Naruto, but they were still suprised that their sensei was early.
" Sensei I never thought you'd be early". said Sakura.
"Well I am". said Kakashi.
A smile came across Naruto's face. He thought about yesterday.
" You weren't with Ishimaru-sensei were you"? asked Naruto with a smirk.
Kakashi looked confused and annoyed.
"What"? " No. We met on the way here". said Kakashi " Why do you care"? said Kakashi suspiciously.
" Nothin' ". said Naruto, and smiled.
" O.k. Uh, we are going to work on contact fighting today. Ishimaru will instruct you on what to do".
Ishimaru looked up attentivly. (She had been daydreaming)
" Yeah. O.k guys first"...
-----------------------------
Kakashi and Ishimaru stood back and watched the teenagers practice.
Kakashi took out his book.
" I'm ganna find out what that book is"...
Ishimaru reached over and grabbed for the book.
" Hey"! said Kakashi
She read the book.
A look of supprise came to her face, and and she gave a smile while her mouth was open.
" Kakashi! I'm supprised!" gasped Ishimaru
" Uh..." Kakashi blushed.
" Give it back"! said Kakashi
" No, I think I'll keep it. You shouldn't have this around children". She said holding the book up.
" Come on". said Kakashi trying to get the book from her.
She was smiling. " No. I won't give it to you!" Ishimaru said.
She enjoyed seeing Kakashi like this. She had total control.
" Reach for it"! said Ishimaru while waving it around.
The students looked over at their sensei's.
" Pathetic". said Sasuke.
" I think it's cute". said Sakura
" I knew it". said Naruto
" Knew what"? asked Sakura
" I'm sure you'll find out, sooner or later." said Naruto
Sasuke raised an eyebrow at Naruto.
" Let's get back to work"! cried Naruto.
Sasuke and Sakura returned to practice.
----------------------------------------
" Come on give it back!You know what's in it now".said Kakashi
Ishimaru just smiled, and kept playing keep away.
" That's it"!...Kakashi lunged for it. Ishimaru move the book back.
He fell on top of her.
Her hand with the book in it was behind her.
Kakashi looked at her. She just stared at him.
Kakashi looked over at his students practicing.
He took the book from her limp hand.
" Thanks". He said, and got up.
Ishimaru sat up and looked at Kakashi.
He had turned to face foward. Hoping she wouldn't see him blush.
He looked over.
There was a pause.
" Told you I'd get it". He said
She laughed.
" God, do I really want to kiss him"!
" Is something wrong"? asked Kakashi.
"Huh"? Her lips were quivering.
" No, I'm fine"! She said while looking down and cursing herself. She was about to say something but...
" Kakashi-sensei"!
Kakashi turned around, and found Sakura had called him.
" Can we stop now"? She asked.
"How could Sakura be so weak, and say that"? thought Sasuke. " She does have guts though,asking our sensei if we could stop! She's crazy". He smirked.
" Sensei Sasuke is hurt".
" Huh"...
Sasuke looked down. He saw his ankle was swolen. He started to feel throbbing pain.
" Can you walk over here"? asked Kakashi
" Uh, yeah". said Sasuke. Still alittle supprised.
They all walked over.
Kakashi looked at Sasuke's ankle.
" Why did you have to go and say something Sakura. I would have been fine"! Sasuke snapped.
Sakura frowned.
" Sakura was just looking out for you Sasuke. I think it's sprained. You should thank her it probably would have been alot worse if you kept running on it. You would not have been able to go on a mission if one came up". said Kakashi. " Thank you Sakura". said Kakashi.
" Yes thank you Sakura". said Ishimaru. She noticed how upset Sakura looked. " Well I would be upset too if the person I liked snapped at me for helping him".
" Sasuke appoligize". said Ishimaru in a stern voice. " Thanks". said Sasuke unwillingly. He noticed how sad she was, and he turned his head." Why do I have to be so mean"? thought Sasuke. "She was only trying to help".
" Your welcome, Kakashi-sensei and Ishimaru-sensei". said Sakura, and gave a nasty, but sad look at Sasuke.
" Can I go now"? asked Sakura. " Sure, you and Naruto go ahead. Naruto was about to go and comfort Sakura but she went into the woods.
" See you tomorow"! said Naruto, and walked down the path that lead to his house.
" I'm going to go to Sakura". said Ishimaru.
" O.k I'll take Sasuke to the infermary". Kakashi bandaged Sasuke's ankle, and got up. " Come on let's go". said Kakashi pulling Sasuke's arm.They started down the path. Ishimaru went to follow Sakura.
-----------------------------
" Sakura". said Ishimaru.
She found her sitting on a small boulder near the edge of a clearing with her face in her hands.
" Sakura". said Ishimaru again.
" Why? Why does he have to be so mean? I was only trying to help". Sakura looked up at her sensei. Her face was all red from crying.
Ishimaru kneeled down next to her. " Sakura, some people don't know how to let their real emotions show so they snap at people when they really want to thank them for their help. Your teenagers, your bodies are going nuts, your mind doesn't know what to think, it's got so many things going through it". " But does he have to be so m-mean"! cried Sakura, tears running down her face. Ishimaru tried wiping the tears from her eyes, but they fell to violently. " Sakura, I'm sure he doesn't hate you. He probably doesn't know how to handle what your giving him". " What am I giving him"? asked Sakura. Her tears had slowed down. They were just dripping down her face one at a time now.
" Your giving him love. He's probably had no one care for him this much besides his family". said Ishimaru. " His clan, they are all dead. His brother Itachi killed them all. All but him". " O my gosh. See thta's it. He has had it ruff. When where they, killed"? asked Ishimaru carefully.
" When he was 7 years old". said Sakura. She started to cry more. " See you cry for him. You care about him so much, and he's afraid if he let's you do that, that he'll lose you too. He doesn't want to lose anyone else so he's keeping you away, trying to make you dislike him so he doesn't have to worry about losing you". " Really, ya think"? asked Sakura " Most definatly. You see he doesn't hate you, quite the opposite. Maybe he does like you but can't tell you so he doesn't have to worry about losing you". Sakura smiled and stopped crying, and wiped her face. " Here". Ishimaru gave her a hankerchief. " Thank you".said Sakura. She smiled. " You have such a wonderful smile". said Ishimaru. Sakura just smiled.
" I'll walk you home". said Ishimaru. They got up and started walking out of the woods. " Hey Ishimaru-sensei"? said Sakura. " Yes". " Is there something going on between you and Kakashi-sensei"? Ishimaru laughed. They continued to talk and laugh all the way to Sakura's house.
-----------------------
" Sasuke, what is your problem"? " What"? " I said what is your problem? Sakura defends you, and praises your every move. She cares about you and all you can do is say nasty things to her. I know you come from a tough past, but you shouldn't let it effect your future".
Kakashi and Sasuke were walking on the path to town, and the infermary. Kakashi was going to get Sasuke crutches, but he rreally wanted to just kick him.
" How do you know what I should do"? asked Sasuke.
" Look I know I'm hard on her, I can't help it. For some reason, no matter how hard I try I can't be nice to her. Deep inside I do, but it always comes out wrong". said the Uchiha. "So you do care about her"? asked Kakashi. Sasuke looked at him. " I guess". " Whata do you mean you guess? It's a "yes" or a "no answer"! " Fine. Then yes, I do really care about her". " In what way"? asked Kakashi. Sasuke looked away so Kakashi-sensei wouldn't see him blush. Even if it was the tiniest bit. " More than a friend". He replied.
