Chapter 10:

Kakashi's visible eye widened, and he turned around slowly. " What do you mean?"Sakura looked down. " I don't know what I mean...I don't know what this is. And i'm sick of it. I'm sick of feeling depressed when Sasuke turns me down, when he calls me weak and ugly. " But can't you see Sakura that you are none of those things...You shouldn't let him make you feel that way."

" But you don't understand" She said with tears running down her face " You are making me feel like that...Depressed but I just don't know why." Kakashi took a step forward so he could be closer to Sakura. But surprisingly she dissapeared in a swirl of blossums. Kakashi stood there dumb founded and he had no idea what was going on. There was something dwelling in the pit of his stomach. What was it? Regret for not going after her... Kissing her. But it feeling so right to have her in his arms, lips dancing together. ' When the hell did she learn to disappear in a swirl of blossums! Damn that jutsu.' Kakashi sighed and walked off with the Konoha moon watching over him.

Sakura burst through her door, her father jolting as he watched the door creak. Then seeing his daughter run upstairs and slam her own door. " Hm...Interesting.".

Sakura jumped on her bed and buried her head in her pillows and cried. " Why does this have to be so weird. What the hell is this!" She cried even more until she heard her bedroom door being opened. " Go away!" She new her father had no intentions of leaving her alone. She felt his assuring hand on her back. "Sakura whats wrong?" She just sobbed, and turned her face to her fathers. His dark brown eyes filled with worry. " Dad. Why is life so freakin hard!?" " Hey watch your language." " Sorry..."

She breathed out. " Is it that Uchia again?" " Haha...Partly but not much." " What happened Sakura.?" She could tell her father was really worried about her now, and the fact that he wasn't really good at these things made it worse. At times like this he really wished that her mother was here. " It has something to do with your sensei doesn't it." Sakura's eyes widened " Yes..." " You really look up to him don't you...But there is something else in your eyes." " What...What is it?" " I don't think I like it but it has happened. But you have to figure it out yourself." Sakura growled. She hated it when adults used all of their weird sayings. Her father kissed her on the four head and walked out of the room. As for Sakura she fell into a stressful sleep.

Two weeks passed and Sakura and Kakashi had been avoiding eachother. Sakura hadn't been showing up for training for weeks now. But he new she was alive and breathing as he saw her around. He knew she had been training at night time for almost a month now. You could see the tone in her legs, her arm muscles. And her speed to escape him whenever he worked up the courage to actually confront her.

Kakashi decided the best thing for him to do would be to take a mission. He had to deliver a scroll to the village of the sand. Which would take him a week to complete. He left Konoha in one day. So he had to prepare tonight.

He was just making his way home from the bar. He had gone there for a short farewell of Rivalry with Gai and some how Asuma was dragged along. Kakashi took in the scent of Konoha. The air, the leaves and the smell of blossums. Some what of what Sakura had smelled like the night he had kissed her again...He sighed. He couldn't hide from the truth anymore. ' I love Sakura. But for how long? How long have I felt like this. The need to have her with me in my arms every night. To feel her lips pressed against mine. To hear those words that have been engraved upon my heart... I wish she would say them, but her heart lies within someone else. And I have to take a break from it all.' Kakashi took out his icha icha book, which hadn't been interesting him lately. Yet he couldn't remember why. He opened it and within the first couple of lines he got images of Sakura. ' Thats why..' He put the book back into his pocket and walked on wards.

He decided to take the long way home, and that just happened to go past the Haruno's place. Kakashi kicked a stone across the road. There were not much people out at this time. But there was one certain, raven haired boy standing out the front of the Haruno's house talking to Sakura. Kakashi knew that they had not noticed him so he hid behind a bush that was just near the house. Close enough for him to hear what was being said.

Sakura was shocked to see Sasuke at her house, at eight o clock at night. He never ever came to see her. " Um...Hi Sasuke?" She said questioningly not knowing if it was him or just an ambush, but it was his familiar chakra signature. " Yeah..Hi Sakura. I just wanted to talk to you. Um" Sakura watched in amazement as Sasuke stuttered. ' Inner Sakura- What does the prick want now. Sakura- Hey don't call him a prick, it's Sasuke kun. I bet he never sees Ino at this time.' " Well I just wanted to say sorry to you, for all the times I yelled at you and called you weak. The truth is. I love you" Sakura gasped. " Wh...what?"

Kakashi heard all of this and his stare deepened on Sasuke. Sakura's face looked surprised like she was happy. And that was all Kakashi wanted to see. He felt so stupid, he thought she might actually feel the same way. But it was all a joke to her, just lies. He used his transporting jutsu to disappear.

" But Sasuke...Wow" ' Oh My god! Did he just say he loves me after all these years oh my god. I can't believe he loves me and I-I...I don't love him.' Sasuke was still looking at her " Sasuke. I'm really sorry but I don't love you." Sasuke's natural face turned into his signature Uchia glare. " I'm sorry I don't" Sakura ran in her house slammed her door and leaned against it.

" What am I saying I love him don't I." She found her mind thinking about all the times she had been turned down by Sasuke, but all the times she said she still loved him. Then when she would break down. It was...Kakashi sensei who was there to comfort her. He was always there for her, comforting her. Sakura slapped herself in the forehead. " Sakura you idiot." ' I love Kakashi...I love him. Inner Sakura- well it took you long enough to figure it out you baka! Sakura laughed hesitantly. And slid down the door laughing. " I can't believe I didn't see it sooner." She just kept laughing. She had to go and tell him tomorrow. She wanted to right now, but she had no idea how to say it. ' Tomorrow I will tell him tomorrow.'

Sakura kept rolling around in her bed. She couldn't sleep, she wanted tomorrow to come so badly that it was making her hyperactive. She kept thinking about Kakashi, how his lips moved against hers. And how soft they were the first time their lips touched when he gave her mouth to mouth. She couldn't help thinking about him but thankfully she fell asleep...Dreaming about Kakashi.

Kakashi slammed his door closed as he got home. " Argg! I can't believe I actually thought she might feel the same way! But no she doesn't. But why do I care i've always been alone. I'm destined to be alone in this life." He slammed his hand down on the table. " Then why do I keep thinking about her. About the kiss!" Kakashi got his things ready for his mission he would take as much time possible to stay away.
