Chapter 14:
Sakura began to pack her bag, slowly still hesitating the action which she was about to make. She was still astonished...' Me a jonin..Even before Naruto and Sasuke.' Sakura sighed as she folded the last of her clothes needed for the trip. The slow creaking of her door opening made her turn her head. Her father was standing just in the doorway, arms folded. He was half smiling but he had the look of regret and pain. " Dad?" His eyes acknowledged her face as he walked over to her. Sighing as he did so. " Sakura...You know i'm really sorry about the other night when I-I hit you." He looked down ashamed, she could feel the regret but a small amount of anger flowing from his presence. " It's alright dad." Sakura stood smiling.
" But it's not right. I shouldn't have even thought of harming you, let alone taking action. I-I was just so afraid that maybe you didn't understand the risk you were taking. Well then I didn't I just thought that he was a sleeze, taking advantage of a young girl. But now I see...That-that he never wanted to hurt you. Or take advantage, but well i'm not sure how to explain it haha" Scratching his head through the sentence " Well only you can explain it. Just know that I love you and I never meant to hurt you. I was just.."
Sakura smiled " An over protective father." She chimed in. He moved his hand from his own head to patting Sakura on the head. They hugged, which was something they didn't normally do. Her dad had changed, although he hit her she still loved him and he apoligized and the fact that he had no problem with her possibly dating her ex-sensei who was 27 a lot older than her. Well he deserved to be forgiven. They separated from their hug " I'm proud of you Sakura. Now I think you should get going." Sakura laughed, and felt the nausia wave of happyness flowing through her. Just from thinking of seeing Kakashi, of being close to him. The sun was lazily setting and bringing some shade over Konoha. The sky some what a shade of orange, red, and pink. Perfect for her mission- Find Kakashi and tell him that she loved him. ' Do I really love him? What is love..Arggg so confused.
As soon as Sakura left the gates of Konoha she was running, sprinting and almost tempted to use her ultimate speed jutsu. But she couldn't get there to fast, well catch up to him to fast..As she had no idea what she was going to say. Jumping from tree to tree she let her mind race, questions...Answers, and letting confusion take over at some point. Sakura decided to wear a mask, covering the bottom half of her face, lips, chin etc.. She had washed the combat outfit that she faught in earlier, red shorts black tank top. And the gloves, but no leg warmers this time as it was too hot. Her hair was up and she had her Konoha headband around her forehead, to show that she meant business. Hopefully if she ran into Kakashi he wouldn't recognize her straight away.
Kakashi trudged through the rain, the earth sqreaching underneath him and splurting as the mud smushed. He loved the rain, feeling of it. The way the water would make it's way through his mask and give his skin a little more attention. Just finally feeling something coming in contact with the skin hidden under his mask, it felt refreshing. But no matter how much Kakashi tried to erase Sakura from his memory. Well he couldn't get her out of his head, the emerald green eyes. The pink lips, so soft. The sweet smell. Nothing could get her out of his head. He sighed ' I can't believe I thought she felt the same way. But I guess childish crushes never leave one, she was obsessed with sasuke and I thought she had gotten over him. But after the other night, and the look on her face.' Kakashi could feel his eye burning, begging him almost to let a tear out. To show emotion just this once in his life. But he didn't let it fall, it wasn't worth it.
Sakura could feel herself getting closer to Kakashi, she was also his partner on this mission. So they would have to travel together. She felt her heart beat racing, running and never stopping. Pounding with each beat. She could feel herself visualizing telling him. See herself kissing him, she dared not think about anything else. And finally she was close enough to catch a silver froth of hair, darting across the trees. But it wasn't standing up, his hair was lopsided..More than usual the rain must have flattened it a little bit. Sakura hoped he hadn't noticed her, as she wanted to surprise him.
