"Dang it! Come here! Why! You little..." Sakura screamed as tried to grab the darting cat. She was way too tired to deal with this today. The said feline was currently way too far out of her reach, which in turn, caused her to fall flat on her face.

So far, all she had managed to do was set the cat in the water, only to have it dart back out at her, claws extended. The stupid cat only got her wet though, but not damp, wet. Her clothes were soaked, including her WHITE shirt. And her hair...

"Oh com oh ohhhn!" She pleaded. If she hadn't gotten so atatched to the damned thing, she would have thrown it back outside. But, as it was, she'd been chasing it around the house for a good, long, half an hour.

She was soaking wet, tired, and pissed. Not a good combination.

There was a knock on the door. Without thinking, only thankful for a momentary escape, she stepped over to the door and yanked it open.

"What the hell happened to you?"

"Long story, do you need something?" She sighed. "I'm kinda busy right now..." She said, running her fingers through her hair frustratedly.

"You left your jacket" Kakashi explained, holding up the black jacket for her to see.

"Thanks Kaka-sensei.. I'm sorry... I didn't mean to be rude it's just...oh, come on in!" She said apologetically, stepping aside to let him enter.

As he stepped throuh the doorway into the Uchiha home, Kakahi's eye grew wide at the sight of destruction before him. There was water all over the hard wood floors, and things were strewn across the floor, as if there had been a struggle of some sort.

"You see... there's a cat in here some where... I was trying to give it a bath."

"It was dirty!" She said defensively. "Want to help?"

Kakashi took a seat on her large sofa and sighed, "Not really, dogs are more my thing... Cats don't seem to like me very much..." He said as the kitten jumped onto his lap.

Sakura grinned.

"... I have to know, don't I?"

"Yup. It seems to like you..."

"Yeah, for now..." He said, standing and carrying the cat as he stepped into the bathroom, it's head buryed in his arm to prevent it from seeing any of it's surroundings.

"Wow... She murmured as he sat down on the edge of the bathtub. "I thought you didn't have any experience with cats?"

"Well, some small dogs don't like water... And it doesn't take a genius to figure it out. Now shut the door."

XXXXXXXX

After a brief struggle, they finally managed to clean the angry kitten.

"Hah..." Sakura laughed, surveying the kittens fur.

"What?"

"I thought it was grey." She sdaid. Now the kitten had sleek white fur, and it was hiding in the corner, snuggled into a towel.

"Wow... I thought you were smarter than that."

"Hey!" She yelled, using a tiny bit of her chakra she had built up to push him over the edge and into the water.

"What the-" He sputtered through his mask, then rtealizing what had just happened, he grabbed her by the waist and yanked her into the water on top of him.

"Ahh! Let go! It's cold!" She screamed, grabbing desperately for the edge with her free hand, for he had the other one.

"I'm more in the water than you are..." He said, letting her wrist free.

"I... cant get up." She said defeatedly after a few failed attempts. A bit of a blush tinged her cheeks as she noticed their close proximity, and the fact that their faces were only a few inches apart.

Kakashi must hae noticed this too for he placed his hands on her hips and lifted her out. Then he stood also and stepped out onto the floor.

"Oh! You're soaked! Here..." She said, handing him a towel, "I'll go get you something of Sasuke's to put on, and then I'll throw your clothes in the dryer." She offered, or more like ordered, feeling a bit guilty.

"Somehow, I don't think they'll fit..."

"What do you mean?"

"Well... he's..." Kakashi trailed off thinking of the right word. He didn't have a very wide vocabulary, that's why he hardly ever spoke.

"Short? Yeah, I know, but he's got somethings that don't fit him.." She said as she stepped out of the bathroom. Seconds later she returned holding a dark colored shirt and a pair of pants. "Here." She said, shoving the bundle of cloth into his hands, "I grabbed one with a high neck so that it will cover your face." She said, shutting the door behind herself, completely ignoring his "Sakura..."

In her own room, she slipped out of her wet clothing and to her horror, she realized that she forgot to grab towel to dry off her skin and hair. Then, she wrapped a robe tightly around herself, and walked over to the door. "Hey! Kaka-sensei? Are you decent?"

"... Yeah." came his response through the door, and then the door opened to reveal her sensei standing there, "What do you need?"

Her jaw dropped.

"I-I-I forgot to g-grab a towel." She stuttered as her cheeks turned a bright pink. She slid past him, and grabbed a towel. She diverted her eyes out of respect as she shut the door behind her. "Thanks.."

He ran a hand through his hair as a smile appeared on his thin, exposed lips.


Bwahahahahaha! Another revision!

She saw his face. -Nods-

I wish I could...

R&R!
