Yay! On with the story. So yeah. If you haven't read the revisions, I suggest it. It's MUCH better now, at least in my opinion. I think I might have changed a few things too.

The next day was uneventful, as were the next few weeks. Sakura remembered nothing, and Kakashi decided that he sure as hell wasn't going to remind her. They found themselves spending more and more time together, even on the days they did not train. Most days, they just went out to the pub to get drinks.

Over the duration, many people were ignorantly amused to see Asuma doing the shopping for Yamanaka Ino. It was now common news that the two were a couple, but no one knew of the child. The people that did know however, were even more amused when they were told about his reaction. Apparently, he had fainted at the news.

The time for the next group of shinobi to leave for the border approached quickly. Sakura recieved news that she would be leaving, and with her would be Hatake Kakashi, and Rock Lee. Sakura was devastated. Not about her team members, she was perfectly fine with that. She just didn't want to be at the border while he was there.

Soon the day to leave was upon them.

"Just our luck." Sakura growled disgruntledly as she kicked at the snow on the ground. "That we'd be assigned to the January mission."

" I think we should leave now." Lee pointed out, staring at her, and then Kakashi in turn to see if they agreed. They had stopped to rest and eat in a small clearing they had found. They'd been there for about an hour already.

Both nodded, and Kakashi went to go stuff some items into his things. Sakura was in a good mood, despite her complaining, and found herself plotting. She knelt down slowly into the snow and scooped some up into her hands.

"Sakura-chan... I don't think you shou-" He let his words trail off as he watched the reactin of the older jounin as a snowball collided with the back of his head. He turned slowly to see her on the ground again.

"Sakura..." Kakashi said slowy. "Stop acting like a four year o-" He didn't bother to finish his sentance as he dodged another snowball.

"Come on! Fight back!" Sakura yelled, angry that he wasn't participating in her little game.

Kakashi shook his head. "I'm not the kind of person who does these kinds of things." Seconds later, he was bombarded with twenty snowballs, each hitting him, suprisingly enough.

"Your trainings going well." Kakashi said into Sakura's ear. Without a single warning, he reached a hand around her shoulders and shoved a snowball down the front of her shirt.

Lee watched in awe as the two continuously pummeled eachother with mounds of snow. If he didn't know better, he'd say that they were flirting. But he knew Sakura was married, so he decided that it was only a close friendship between the teacher and pupil, like Gai-sensei and himself.

He jumped as the icy mounds began heading his way. Sakura was lethally throwing them towards him. Of course, he dodged every one.

Sakura scowled at him as moments later she discovered that she'd ruined the last of the salavagable snow in the area. Sighing, she grabbed her bag and said, "Well, I guess we'd better go anyway." The rest of the company nodded in agreement, while somewhat bewildered at her quick change of moods.

"You know..." Kakashi began as they began to pace themselves as they darted through the trees, "If Sasuke says or does anything, I'll be there too." Sakura turned to lookat him, not surprised at all at the assumption that he'd made. They had gotten to know each other too well over the past months, there was no need to try to lie.

They reached the border just before nightfall. The sun was already beginning to hide behing the horizon when Anko finally came to greet them. The short kunoichi only bothered to smile pleasantly at Sakura before she returned her gaze to the clipboard she held in her hands. Stepping across the grass light-footedly, she showed them to their assigned tents.

Mitarashi Anko was considered the 'head operative' at this particular section of the border headquarters. Because she had no attachments back in Konoha that many of the other shinobi did, she preferred to remain at the station, devoting her time into the establishment.

Almost right away, Lee was directed to a tent close to the front-most row of tents. It took a bit longer for them to arrive at the next tent. Although there were few shinobi assigned to the border, a suprizingly large number of shinobi chose to stay. As they passed ten rows of three not-so-widely-spread-apart tents, Anko came to a stop. She smirked as she informed them that their tents were directly beside one another. Walking away she yelled over her shoulder, "Oh, there's an alcohol establishment if you follow the path directly east." She smirked darkly now. There was no need to tell Hatake, who was known for being extremely fond of sake, that only certain shinobi were allowed alcohol each night, and only at night. With one last wave, she was gone.

Kakashi's exposed eye arched in a tell-tale sign that he was grinning. "Fancy coming with?" He asked light-heartedly.

Sakura was dazed, lost in her own thoughts and did not hear the words directed towards her. Her heart was sinking faster than a weight in water. The tent was twice the size of a normal tent. So that meant that she was sharing it with someone, most likely her good for nothing husband. She helplessly looked to Kakashi, a mixture of fear and anger swirling in her sparkling emerald eyes. "Did you say something?"

"Kakashi furrowed his eyebrows. "Sakura, surely you knew that they would put you in the same tent as him?" His question did not need an answer though, he only needed to see her reaction to know the answer. "C'mon, put your things inside and we'll go get some sake and relax."

Sakura obeyed, appearing outside the tent once again seconds later. She silenntly followed him along the path, absent mindedly watching his wild mane of silvery hair bounce as he took each step. She was captivated by the way the moon made it glow. "Kakashi...?" She began, at a loss for words. Groping her mind, she finally chose the right ones and they spilled from her lips. "What am I going to do?"

Kakashi awkwardly patted her back as she buried her head into his chest, embracing him. No matter how many times, or how much of a habit she tended to make it, everytime she hugged him it made hime nervous as all hell. "Don't worry about it, there's no sense in dwelling over it. Besides, you have so many new defenses. What about that jutsu you invented, the one where the person goes unconcious?"

She sniffed into his shoulder. "I guess your right... Oh, I made such a horrible mistake marrying him." She croaked into his shoulder. Her crying was soon stifled suddenly. There was total silence before she gasped over the Copy-Nin's shoulder, "Sasuke...?"
