Man, so much happens in this chapter. I like died writing this...o.o
Well enjoy:D

"It may be strange of me to ask this but... why are we training now?" The crisp, night air found its way through the girl's thin clothing, and it wasn't a nice sensation. It was cold, freezing cold. Below zero it least, and seeing her own breath escape into the darkness was just another reason for Sakura to hug her arms around herself tighter.

"A ninja can act no matter what obstacles stand in their way. That includes weather." They arrived at their usual training spot and the jounin lazily perched himself against a solid tree trunk, sinking his hands deeper into his pockets. His student followed, nodded and stood in front of him waiting.

"Well?" After moments of silence, she was getting impatient. It was pitch black, cold, and she was definitely not in the mood for one of her sensei's lessons about the ways of the ninja. However, the man didn't reply, nor did he move. He was thinking about something, Sakura could tell.

"Kakashi?"

"Hmm."

"Anything on your mind?"

"Yo-" He paused and glanced over at the rustling bushes beside him. Sakura followed his gaze as the bush suddenly sneezed. "Your cover is blown, Naruto."

"N-Naruto?!" The girl gawked as the blonde slowly crawled out into the open, his head bowed low. His clothes were in terrible shape: torn and covered in dirt. For once curiosity was evident upon Kakashi's face as he looked over the boy.

"What the hell are you doing!" She abruptly raised her hand making her teammate flinch. "What's wrong with—huh?" Tears began to swell in Naruto's eyes, and Sakura dropped her hand with an exasperated sigh. She looked over to their sensei who had already turned around and was heading back to her place.

"Kakashi... But... what... Naruto!" She growled in his direction but was cut off when the boy's lips came in contact with her own. Completely taken by surprise, the girl pushed him away as hard as she could, sending him flying into a bush. She took a step back, her shaking fingers held to her lips.

"What...what are you doing?!"

"I wanted to know," He stumbled on to his feet. "If I liked girls."

"Naruto..." Tears left a wet trail down his face as he shook his head.

"I don't like him. I can't like him. I DON'T!" The blonde fell down on to the ground with a sob, clenching the dirt under him as hard as he could. Sakura had no idea what to do to comfort her distraught friend. She couldn't even grasp what he was talking about, let alone tell him it would be alright.

"Naruto!" A man approached the kunoichi from behind, and she was relieved to find it was the man who ran away from her house not moments ago; Iruka. He'll be able to solve all this, she thought. Strangely, Naruto ceased movement as soon as he met eye to eye with his ex-sensei.

"I'm sorry... I'm so sorry..." The boy continued his sobbing as the newcomer ran up to him. Sakura decided right away that she shouldn't get herself involved and left without a word.

Kakashi was hurt.

Terribly, utterly deeply hurt.

As he was leaving his pupils to settle some personal matters, he hears his 'girlfriend' call his name, and turns around only to see... something he wishes he never saw. Never has he felt so used. So he resolves to his only friend forever: sake. At the bar he can drown away his sorrows, like a character in one of his stories. She won't miss him, she won't care. Heck, he could be there all night and she wouldn't notice. Which is all the better. He can have fun without her. He is Hatake Kakashi after all.

"Oh, it's you." Kakashi glanced beside him to see Miss Naomi, with blazing eyes a fire. What a great time to see her beautiful seductive red eyes. "Why are you sitting here all by yourself?"

"Hmph..." Already he was having troubles seeing, so he pushed away his glass and stumbled to the front door. His ex closely followed. She stopped him after they got outside.

"How about," She leaned on him, tracing his chest gently with her finger tips. "We go back to your place and get you cleaned up."

"What's your plan?" He glared at the blonde.

"I just want to catch up with an old friend, that's all." She leaned in closer, their noses just barely touching. Kakashi blinked, and then remembered why he was drinking in the first place. Sakura. She kissed that boy right after she kissed him. Why? Why would she do something like that to him? He really thought she loved him as much as he did. Apparently, it was just a joke.

"Yeah, alright."

When Sakura got home she was surprised to find Kakashi gone. He must have had enough and went home. She didn't mind that much, seeing how she had that mess he left on her rug to clean up. However, she did wish he was there on the couch reading that book of his. That's where he belonged.

After she finished scrubbing the floor, she contemplated phoning her sensei. It wasn't that late, and she knew very well that he would still be up reading. It took her many tries before she could work up enough courage to dial those numbers. Which is strange, seeing how she never had problems calling him before. A female voice answered,

"Yeah?"

"Umm... is-is Kakashi there?" At first Sakura thought she had the wrong number, but the woman who picked it up told her to wait. After a few seconds a familiar voice replied,

"Yo."

"Kakashi?"

"Sakura?"

She was silent as she heard that woman in the background giggling.

"What's going on?"

"No-nothing much." He quickly replied.

"Who is that—is that Naomi?!"

"Umm, yeah."

"Why... why is she there..." Something heavy began to weigh down the girls heart as the person on the other line was quiet for what seemed as a long time.

"Listen Sakura," His voice was soft, and he spoke slowly, as if he was deciding what to say at that precise moment. "I don't think we should continue on like this."

"What do you mean?!" She clenched the phone tighter and wiped away the tears that were already forming. Clearly he was kidding around! He always teased her, next he will say 'I'm just joking' or 'Don't be foolish'. "Kakashi, don't joke around!"

"I don't want you getting hurt..."

"Getting hurt?! GETTING HURT?!" She couldn't help but let out a bottled up sob. "Your hurting me right now, Kakashi!"

"I'm sorry."

"So that's it..."

"Goodnight, Sakura."
