Sakura wiped her forehead and smiled at the two men. "Thanks again Kotetsu-san and Izumo-san. I don't think I could have managed this without your help." Kotetsu smirked and ruffled her hair while Izumo replied "It was no trouble at all Sakura-chan. Now we must check on our dear Tsunade-sama; she most likely found where we hid her sake." Both Kotetsu and Izumo grimaced before starting the trek back.
Sakura winced in sympathy for the two. Her shishou took great pleasure in running them ragged; she should find a way to repay them. She shut the door before jumping and pumping her hands in the air. "I'm officially moved in!"
"Well someone's excited." Sakura turned to glare at the last of her helpers who was reclined on her sofa, Icha Icha in hand. "Of course I'm excited. I just moved all of my things into my very first apartment, no thanks to you." Kakashi didn't look affronted. "I did help." "Moving in the sofa so you can sit and read isn't exactly what I call helping." "I did more than that.flip"
Sakura huffed and flopped on the opposite end. "You did nothing; Shikamaru helped more than you, and he left early! You'd think I'd merit some effort out of you, sensei." Ignoring her rant Kakashi stopped reading to change positions, placing his head in her lap. Sakura absently brought her hand to his hair.
Over the months after their little 'talk' at the hospital, Sakura could say that not much changed between them; besides Kakashi's new fondness of having her pet his hair. When they were alone she was more expressive with her affections, but that was just a few chaste kisses or holding hands.
Sakura saw his eyes once again glued to the pages of his Icha Icha and decided to drop her angry lecture; he definitely wasn't listening, so why bother? Gazing at the cardboard box towers in the small living room brought her excitement back.
"I'm glad shishou suggested this. I'm closer to the Hokage tower and the hospital, so no more rushing in the morning. And no parents! Not that I didn't love living with my parents; there just wasn't any privacy and mom wouldn't stop nagging about missions or the hospital. Tomorrow Ino and Hinata are coming to help decorate."
Normally Kakashi would listen to Sakura, but her hands felt so good. "So?" He continued ignoring her. Sakura narrowed her eyes. "Are you listening Kakashi-sensei?" "Hmm, no?" "Kakashi-sensei…" she growled. Feeling particularly childish, he growled back.
"Kakashi-sens-mmph!" One second his head was in her lap and the next her lips were smothered by his now maskless ones. She was shocked; this was the first time he had initiated any of their kisses, and without his mask…!
Kakashi pulled away. "Stop calling me sensei when we're alone." Sakura numbly touched her lips before turning her wide-eyed gaze to him. A small grin formed on her face. "Will you do that again if I stop?" Kakashi smirked.
AN: The first for the second arc. Naruto will most likely show in the next one. So, what do you think about this one? More fluff!
Sadly this will probably be the last post for a while. School is going to take first priority until April 30. Please don't feel discouraged! Besides, I think I spoiled you enough with 4 posts in less than a week!
Thank you to everyone who reviewed! I offer my deepest gratitude! Now... off to school... yippee...
