Chapter 8-The Beginning Of Love

Disclaimer: Do Not Owe Naruto!

notes: none for now. Here it is...

I wonder what's Rei doing right now, Sakura thought as she walked through the markets of Konoha as it had been days and weeks ever since Kakashi and Rei's dreadful wedding. You shouldn't be thinking about that right now, the meantime, why don't you go and visit your boyfriend since you two kissed in front of the whole entire village?

He and I did kissed, but are we actually a couple now? I know that Kakashi feels the same way as I do, but since he was with Rei for two years, can he go back? Sakura thought unhappily. Ever since the dreadful wedding, nobody had seen Rei ever since and everyone thought she had permanently left Konoha for good.

Rei's parents were discouraged about the situation as they had argued to Tsunade and Kakashi about their missing daughter. Finally, a few weeks ago, Rei's parents decided to leave Konoha leaving the rest of the family behind thinking that Rei might come back to Konoha in a couple of years in a change of pace.

Though Rei's family doesn't want to admit to the Konoha's ninja's since they were friends with Kakashi, everytime they see someone like Sakura or Kakashi, they always give a dreadful 'glare' whenever they weren't looking. Nothing had caused trouble yet since they don't want to argue with Tsunade herself because of her strong powers.

"Hey Sakura!" Naruto's voice called out as Sakura sighed, well, speak of the devil, she thought as she stopped walking and Naruto was panting slowly as Sasuke was beside him. "What is it now Naruto?" Sakura asked annoyed as Naruto smiled at her, Sakura stared at him for a moment.

"Guess what?" Naruto asked as Sakura groaned, "you know I hate these kinds of games!" She said as she hit Naruto on the head making him fall on the ground with a 'thud.' Sasuke smirked, Naruto began whining as Sakura rolled her eyes. "Kakashi is waiting for you," Sasuke said calmly as Sakura looked at him, "really? Where?"

"At the old training grounds."

Sakura found Kakashi as he was walking on a tree horizontally just like before when Kakashi was teaching them. "Climbing trees again Kakashi?" Sakura asked smiling as Kakashi walked towards to a nearby branch as he stood on it and he looked down smiling, "why don't you come and join me?" He asked as Sakura nodded as she focused her chakra on her feet before joining him on the branch.

"Still better then the others," Kakashi commented as the two sat on the branch staring out onto the village. "Was there something you wish to speak to me about?" Sakura asked nervously as Kakashi looked at her, "ah, I see that you've spoken with Naruto and Sasuke before coming here," he said as Sakura nodded.

Kakashi seems serious by the way he looks on his eyes, Sakura thought staring at him. Kakashi cleared his throat, "ever since Rei left and ever since our first kissed, I've been thinking," he began. "You don't want to be with me because of our age gap, right?" She asked slowly as Kakashi looked at her surprised, "of course not. Just because your are 19 and I'm 32 doesn't mean anything!"

"Really Kakashi?" Sakura asked as Kakashi smiled behind his mask, "I would be chasing after Rei if I weren't you, wouldn't I?" He asked as Sakura shivered. "Why'd you date her and propose to her anyway?" She asked slowly, "you left and I was depress. She came to me one night and I started to love her because she cares about me in any way," Kakashi explained quietly.

"If I didn't go on my mission, would you have dated Rei?" Sakura asked slowly as Kakashi looked at her, "if it went with that way, I might have not met Rei nor confessed my feelings to you and it would be just like any other normal day," he assured her as Sakura nodded slowly and she leaned onto Kakashi's shoulder as Kakashi looked at her.

"If we are going to have a relationship, at least try to hold me," Sakura said blushing as Kakashi chuckled. "Very well," he said as he put his arm around her, holding her close to him. Ask! Why don't you ask you dumb fool? Inner Sakura thought as Kakashi looked at Sakura, "if we are really doing this, we should go on a date," he began as Inner Sakura cheered.

"A-A d-date?" Sakura mumbled as Kakashi chuckled, "do not be nervous my love. Isn't this is what you wanted? To start a relationship with me?" He asked as Sakura nodded blushing. "Tomorrow night, we shall go on our first date at eight and I'll pick you up on time," Kakashi said as Sakura looked at him shocked, "seriously? Your not going to be late?"

"Not with you anyway," Kakashi said smiling as Sakura blushed, "oh and wear something formal. Ok?" Kakashi asked as Sakura nodded, before she could react, Kakashi took off his mask as he leaned down to go and kiss Sakura on the lips passionately. Too shock to move, Sakura just sat there as Kakashi pulled away, putting his mask on.

"That was your first kiss by me," he said as Sakura blinked and Kakashi chuckled as the two watched the sunset.
