Author's Note: I'm sorry for not updating in like a year. Things have been crappy and it affected my entire plan for this story... I started writing this story last year, based on what actually happened with my boyfriend and I, except using KakashiXSakura. And no, my boyfriend was not my teacher, XD he was one of my best friends who I kinda got a little drunk with one night. We were confused for a long time as to what we were, and we ended up falling for each other in the end. I started writing this story during our relationship because I felt like I had found my perfect story and I wanted to share it. But as all relationships do, we broke up. He slept with some other girl. So I was a complete mess.

But you know what? Just because life doesn't have perfect endings doesn't mean my story shouldn't. Kakashi won't be sleeping with any other girls P. He isn't like my stupid ex.

So from here on in, this story is no longer based on events in my life, but now based on my mind.

I shall try to update more often.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The backdoor of the bar flew open as Kakashi and Sakura stumbled out, laughing. Both of them, clearly drunk, were walking along the alley stumbling. Sakura tripped and Kakashi grabbed her hand but he also tripped. Sakura found herself between him and the wall. His scent was intoxicating. He looked into her eyes and then slid his arms around her as she lifted her hands to his face. She felt his hands move to stop her but she closed her eyes and he relaxed. She pulled his mask down. He pressed his lips into hers and she returned his kisses by gently moving her tongue along his lips. He in turn slipped his tongue into her mouth. His hands slid along her sides, pushing her up against the wall . She pulled away and slid his mask back up. "Your apartment's closer." She said with the slightest hint of a slur.

Sakura snapped awake as her alarm went off. "Stop thinking about that night." She muttered to herself as she got up. She didn't get a lot of sleep from all the tossing and turning she experienced in her slightly upset state. It was either dreaming about Kakashi or thinking about his resemblance to Sasuke.

Sakura opened the tent flap to exit when she found herself staring at a pair of feet. "Morning Sakura." said the voice. "Kakashi." Sakura thought instantly at the recognition of his voice. He stepped back as she crawled out to stand up. "Morning." She said as she brushed herself off and grabbed her bag. "Need an escort home?" he asked with a smile. "Is he stalking me?" She thought to herself.. But she had the slightest of grins. "If I say no will I get stalked home instead?" she said as she began walking. "Would you prefer a lie?" he said as he walked beside her. She stuck her tongue out at him and smiled. Whatever it was that attracted her to him, she would rather not think about right now.

During their walk home, she wondered what he was thinking, why was he following her like this to her mission and walking her back? She'd been on missions before, alone, but he was going out of his way to pay attention to her. Sakura stole a glance or two towards his direction. She wondered if he was like this with all his little girlfriends or if he really was coincidentally assigned to watch over her on this mission by Tsunade. It was a bit stalkerish and slightly cute.

After a few hours of awkward silence, or mainly just watching Kakashi read his perverted books, Sakura finally spoke. "I don't have the scroll anymore. It's not necessary to guard me anymore."

"You were so much more tolerable when you were my student." he said without looking up from his book.

Sakura shot him a glare, "sorry, little girls grow up."

"Oh trust me, I know." He said slyly. Sakura quickly looked away to hide her bright red face. "Bad territory for a conversation," she thought to herself.

"Are you not ever gonna talk about it?" Kakashi asked after a few minutes of silence.

Sakura looked up at him, "what?"

"You're distressed." He said, still reading his book and walking.

"No I'm not. Why would you say that?" she retorted.

"Something went through your head yesterday and you walked away from me because of it." He said, finally looking up from his book.

Sakura looked at him. "Why are you asking me these things?" she thought to herself. She didn't know what to say. "I was just tired and didn't want to be groggy for the travel home." She lied.

"Ah. Tired. Ok." Kakashi said, making it obvious he knew it was an excuse. Sakura glared at him again.

They didn't exchange words for the rest of the day. It was as if Kakashi was purposely not saying anything to her every time she tried. Light began to fade from the skies and Kakashi closed his book. "The sun is setting, we should stop at the nearest inn or else you'll be too tired for tomorrow." Kakashi teased. Sakura shot him the third glare of the day.

"Pushing the limits." Sakura thought to herself. It took about 20 minutes to the nearest town. For the rest of the walk, Kakashi made lots of mocking remarks towards Sakura, it was almost as if he was purposely trying to get her mad, but for what reason, Sakura couldn't think of it.

Sakura saw the gates of the town and it was pitch dark by the time they got to the inn. She had been ignoring Kakashi's bantering the whole time and she realized she couldn't really take much more of it. Kakashi was trying to make her mad and she wasn't going to give in.

"One room?" asked the lady at the front desk.

"Yes-" Kakashi started.

"No, two rooms please." Sakura interrupted. Kakashi raised an eyebrow at her but she grabbed the key to her room, stuck her tongue out at him saying "nyaah" and walked off. He chuckled to himself.

The mini war of the night begun.
