Kakashi: Disclaimer: She doesn't own Naruto or me, much to her dismay.

Ch. 9: Pool Mishaps pt. 2

Kakashi swam over to Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura. "So all of you are playing, right?" he asked.

"I am!" exclaimed Naruto.

"Me too."

"No."

"Why not, Sasuke?" Sakura asked.

"Hn."

"Please!!!! It won't be as fun without you!"

"Hn."

Then, she did it. The one thing that no one could ever resist. The face. "Pwease?"

He was going to glare at her when he saw her pouty lip and big shining eyes. 'Stay strong. You will not fall for the face.'

'But she looks so cute!'

'Must. Resist.'

"Fine."

'Damn.'

"Yay!" Sakura exclaimed.

"Cheap tricks." muttered Sasuke angrily.

"Now that that's over. Tag. You're it, Naruto," hitting him on the head.

"What the hell was that for, sensei?!"

Sakura giggled and Sasuke smirked. Naruto scowled. "Fine. I'm it. Sha-"

Kakashi interjected. "No jutsus or chakra manipulations. We wouldn't want to break anything and get our asses kicked by Tsunade when we get back now, would we? Besides, it's fairer this way. Don't you think?"

Naruto growled. "Fine."

'Stupid Kakashi-sensei. Hey, where'd Sakura-chan go?'

Naruto looked around and spotted his target. He smirked. "The teme." he said to himself as he masked his chakra.

Sasuke was currently thinking as he stood waist-deep in the water. 'Why the hell are we playing this? Why the hell am I playing this?!'

'Cuz Sakura did the face and you actually think this is fun. Besides, this way, you can touch Sakura without getting hurt! Well, more or less.'

'First of all, fun? I don't do fun.' Second, her doing the face has nothing to do with it. And third, I'm not a perv like Kakashi!'

'Well, not as perverted as Kakashi, but still perverted.'

'Hn. Whatever.'

'Oh, and while you were agreeing that you are a perv, Naruto tagged you.'

"Huh?"

Sasuke looked up to see Naruto laughing and swimming away. "Haha teme! Sheesh. For a genius, you're not that smart."

Sasuke snarled at him and was about to go after him when Sakura yelled "Remember Sasuke? No tag-backs!"

"Hn."

"Fine. I'll just hypnotize her with the Sharingan, then tag her."

"I heard that Sasuke!"

'Shit, I said that out loud?'

'Yup.'

'Augh!'

"Besides, no Sharingan!" she laughed.

"Fine, but what about Kakashi?"

"I can't deactivate it and you know that."

"Hn."

'Stupid. Stupid. Stupid! I am such an idiot! I must be slipping. Okay, since Sakura heard my plan and there aren't any tag-backs, that leaves Kakashi.' He took a deep breath, dove underwater and masked his chakra.

Naruto and Kakashi were discussing ramen. Well, Naruto was. Kakashi just nodded every once in a while, lost in thought. (Seems like a lot of people are like that in this story.)

'I'm so glad no one noticed it. Luckily, it went away after a minute or two. Dammit Sakura, why'd you have to be so damn..'

'Hot? Sexy? Kissable?'

'Beautiful.'

A tap on his shoulder brought him back to reality. He turned around to see a smirking Sasuke. "Tag. You're it."

"Hn." was Kakashi's reply before diving underwater.

Sakura was floating in the deep end again. She closed her eyes, relishing the feel of the calm water surrounding her. 'This place really is relaxing.'

'Yeah. And no one has tagged us yet.'Inner Sakura gloated.

'Are you really this…conceited?'

'It's not a big deal.'

'Says you, now can you leave?'

'Why?'

'So I can enjoy the peace.'

'Hn. Fine.'

Sakura sighed contentedly when all of a sudden, she was dragged underwater, again. She resurfaced to see a blushing and shocked Kakashi, Sasuke, and Naruto. "Why is it so cold and why are you guys acting weird?"

Sasuke was blushing as red as a tomato, mouth open, and eyes wide. Kakashi looked exactly like Sasuke except redder and in serious need of air. Naruto, averting his gaze and covering his yes, offered an explanation. "Um….., well..to start off ,Sakura-chan, the reason you're cold and why they're acting funny is because, well…, your top is gone"

"Huh?" She looked down and screamed. "Ahhhh! What happened and where is it?!" Sakura looked like a ripe tomato, covering her breasts with her hands. (You know, you cross your arms over your chest and stuff.)

She felt a tap on her shoulder to see Kakashi with her top on his finger. She looked at him in shock and then glared at him. "What. Did. You. Do?" she snarled.

"I can explain."

"You better start while you can still breathe."

He sweatdropped. "You see, when I grabbed you, my fingers got caught on the knots of your straps. When I pulled away, your top went with me and you ended up topless." He spoke with a nervous tone and a laughing smile while secretly hoping she wouldn't follow up on her words.

Sakura snatched her top back and put it back on. She then took a deep breath. Kakashi relaxed, thinking she had calmed down. Boy, was he wrong. She grabbed him by the ear and yelled. "You fucking hentai! I'd actually thought that you would lay off a little on being perverted on this trip, but I guess I was wrong! You're lucky we're the only ones in this pool! Don't ever touch me again!"

Then the words "Rising Phoenix, Song of the Dawn jutsu" was heard before the pool water turned to the color of the sunrise and water phoenix came out, grabbed Kakashi, and flung him into the air. He landed face first in a hedge nearby. "Um, Sakura?"

"Yes, Naruto?"

"You didn't kill him, did you?"

"No, but he probably has a broken rib or two. Don't worry. I'll fix it. Eventually." Making sure her top wasn't going to fall off again, she started swimming backstroke in the pool, causing Naruto and Sasuke to stare at her unbelievingly and sweatdrop.

"Hey Sasuke, we better check on him."

"Aa." They leapt out of the pool, landing near Kakashi. Naruto grabbed a stick to poke him and Sasuke proceeded to nudge him with his foot.

"Would you two stop?"

"Man, sensei. You really made Sakura mad."

"Serves you right for pulling a stunt like that." Sasuke said coolly.

'And we thank you for it.'

Kakashi grunted. 'But it was worth it.'

'Speak for yourself.'

But Kakashi couldn't deny it. It was worth it. He got a pretty good look, seeing how he stared at her for eight minutes. 'Her skin is so soft and creamy. And those rose-colored buds… Wait. she's my former student! Augh!'

Naruto's voice caused him to stop berating himself. "Sensei, you really should apologize. She's really upset."

'I hope she's okay.' Sasuke thought. Kakashi pulled himself out of the hedge, dusting off sticks and leaves. "Yeah. I know. Don't worry, I'll apologize. At least she took it better than I thought."

"Hn?"

"Yeah. I thought she'd punch me through the pool wall." he laughed before wincing and holding his side.

Naruto and Sasuke looked at him and sweat dropped. 'Well, he's taking this pretty well,' they thought.

Kakashi stood up and checked himself over. He winced and clutched his side. "Minor injuries. Just cuts, scrapes, and a cracked rib. No big deal." He grabbed his stuff, still clutching his side and poofed to the room. Sasuke, Sakura, and Naruto followed a few minutes later.
