Chapter Five


I took an unusual route past the ramen shop, as I did, I heard a very interesting conversation. So I decided to hang around and listen.

"So…what do you think about Kaka-sensei & Sakura?" It was Naruto, stuffing ramen in his face.

"…" Was it Sasuke?

"Sasuke-teme, don't ignore me!" It was Sasuke

"You baka, I was thinking about it,"

"What do you think about it then? I think that Kaka-sensei is too old for her,"

"I think that…they aren't even in a relationship, they're just messing around," Sasuke sounded convinced with himself "I also think you should stop calling him sensei,"

"But! She kissed him," He paused for a moment "It's habit calling him sensei,"

"That kiss meant nothing,"

"She seemed to enjoy it, and in fact so did he,"

"Then maybe they do belong together,"

From what I could hear he leapt up from his stool "I'm going to make my personal mission to get Sakura & Kaka-sensei together!"

"Baka, sit down and finish your ramen,"

I didn't hear anymore, I made myself run off. I'm not sure if I'm happy or outraged by their conversation. I found myself on top of a hill looking over half on Konoha, beautiful. It was just right, the moon shined over me like it was the sun itself. A amazing night, but why was I in such a bad mood? I can't even explain it.

"Aren't you cold?" I spun my head around only to see Kakashi

"Why are you always here? Whenever I'm alone, you always seem to pop up from nowhere," I stood up and walked over to him "Whenever I think about you, you're always there, why is that?"

"Coincidence I suppose," He backed away from me "You think about me?"

"I CAN'T GET YOU OUT MY DAMN HEAD?" I screamed into my hands "YOU'RE ALWAYS THERE, WHY CAN'T YOU GET OUT MY THOUGHTS?"

"Sakura, I-"

"Save it, I don't even know what to think anymore, in fact I can't think because you're there,"

"I just thought you should know, I can't get you out of my head either," Why did he sounded so shocked with himself for saying it? He walked back to me, he sat down pulling me onto his lap at the same time.

"I heard a very interesting conversation today, between Naruto & Sasuke,"

"Did you know, tell me more," He gently pushed his face into my shoulder trying to get comfy.

"Naruto has made it his personal mission to get us together," I paused for moment, he was looking at me "I mean, I don't know what gave him that impression,"

"Maybe it's the fact that you kissed me?"

"I didn't kiss you I-" I felt my face go bright red "I simp-" Before I could finish my sentence soft lips were against my own. The warmth was incredible, I'd never felt anything like this when a different boys had kissed me. I broke away, looked at him, taking in his handsome features and kissed him again. It was rushed, hungry and starting to become a addiction. He slipped his tongue into my mouth, deepening the kiss as much as he could. My fingers running through his hair while his hands wondering my back. I broke off remembering a certain something.

"Does this mean I win the bet?"

"Oh yes, the bet. And no you don't win,"

"Why the hell not? He let out a small chuckle

"I said you'd have to my mask off, not myself," I stared at him "You still have over a week left,"

"You think you're so clever," I poked him gently

"I don't think that I'm clever," I smiled at him "I know thatI'm clever,"

I jumped up from his lap, and he got up as well. I leant myself into his body, teasing him. I brushed my lips against his, and walked away.

"Shame, you ruined the moment," I preformed handsigns

"What the…" Once again, in a scatter of petals I was gone.

Home. Sleep. Eat. Hospital. Eat. Sleep. My routine for the last couple of days. It May have been a very boring five or so days but it went pretty damn fast. It was strange in the fact that I hadn't seen my silver haired friend in those five days. But damn was he a good kisser. But, was he avoiding me, or was I too much of a dream world to notice my surroundings.

"Sakura?" I spun my head around.

"Hey Kakashi," I slowly started to walk away.

"Why are you avoiding me?" So I was avoiding him, I'm doing it and not even realising.

"Am I?" I turned myself around to face him.

"Yeah you are, did I do something?"

"Course you didn't and I'm not avoiding you. I just happen to very busy,"

"Why did you take extra shifts at the hospital?"

"I was needed," I couldn't even look at him.

"Why can't you look at me?"

"You pick up on these things are too easily,"

"I know, so why can't you?"

"I can, I don't want to, now if you don't mind, I just remembered I had to meet someone," I walked past him, brushing my arm against his. He grabbed me, not too hard, not too soft either. He pulled me into his body, and whispered something.

"Don't ignore me," He let go, why did those three words hurt so much? I ran away, as fast as I could. Why was I ignoring him? Why was I avoiding him? Why couldn't I even look at him? I found my self at Naruto's house, luckily he was alone with no Hinata. I knocked at the door and he came, he looked at me in a bizarre way, a concerning look. He slowly lifted his hand to my cheek and wiped my tears away. I didn't even know I was crying. He pulled me in for a embrace. I held him so tightly, I never wanted to let go. I found myself on Naruto's sofa with hot chocolate in my hands.

"I'm amazed you have more than ramen here,"

He let out a small laugh "I actually like other things as well,"

"No Hinata today then?"

He sighed "Mission,"

"Oh," I smiled at him

"What's that matter with you then,"

"I think I've fallen for someone,"

"Who would that be then?" He let out a fox like grin

"Yeah, I overheard your conversation with Sasuke,"

"Ah damn…"

I giggled at him "I thought it was cute,"

"So you love Kakashi then?"

"I think I do, but I keep pushing him away," I lowered my head.

""I thought it would be the other way around,"

"Heh… life's funny that way,"

"Thank-you Naruto,"

"For what?"

"Always being here for me," I drank the rest of my hot chocolate and left him.

There by Konoha gates stood the copy nin. "KAKASHI DON'T LEAVE ME!" I screamed at him. Why didn't turn around? Why didn't he come to me?

"DAMN YOU KAKASHI, COME BACK NOW!" I ran towards him, trying to wrap my arms around his waist. He looked down at me.

"Leave me alone Sakura, I'm leaving and never coming back,"

"Don't do this to me," I sobbed into his chest

"Let go of me,"

"I'm not letting go,"

"Let go of me now," He grabbed a kunai and effortlessly pierced it threw my shoulder, leaving me on the ground with my blood everywhere.

I woke up with sweat everywhere, stupid nightmares. That was the third one this week. That one being the worse. They had to stop, or were they trying to tell me something? I wanted to see him, be in his arms. My throat felt so dry and sore, I put my dressing gown on and made my way to the kitchen, someone else was helping themselves to my food. I grabbed a kunai from the side and threw it at them.

"Gotta do better than that Sakura," It was Kakashi

"If I knew it was you, I would've, what are you doing in my fridge,"

"I got hungry and there's no food in my own," I went over and turned the light on.

"Now tell me what you really want," I asked him, he stared at him.

"I wanted to see my favourite kunoichi,"

"Favourite?" I gave his stare back

"Yes my favourite."

"Dear sensei, are you saying that because I am, or because you want my food?"

"Bit of both," He tugged his mask down and shoved some chocolate in his mouth.

"You asshole… that was my only piece of chocolate,"

"Oh, sorry," He smiled at me

"You owe me,"

"You owe me for muffins, call it even,"

"Kakashi, about before. I'm sorry," I walked over to him slowly "Lack of sleep,"

"It's ok," He whispered and his arms snaked up my back, while my arms were around his neck. Kakashi kissed me lightly on my head. "You need some sleep," He picked me up bridal style and put me in my own bed.

"Stay with me tonight," I whispered. He paused before making his mind up, Kakashi slipped is body next to my own, pulling me as close as he could, his arms around my waist. No more nightmares.

A/n: I know exactly how i'm going to end this, so i could easily end it in the next two chapters. I haven't quite decided how many i'm going to do.

Sakura: I don't get shy, i just ...
