He waited patiently for his turn to come and every time she was coming out she was throwing him glances that he couldn't understand. But she did not look angry or uncomfortable. That was a good sign at least he thought so. He was the last one left so when she came out he just stood up and walked in the room not even waiting for her to call him inside. She closed the door slowly before turning to him. She had an annoyed look on her face but she said nothing. He was waiting for her to say something and for that reason the silence between them had stretched to the point where it was already weird and uncomfortable.

She put her hand to her forehead and then slowly said:"I am sorry for the way I have been acting. But you also are at fault for pushing me in that direction". His eyebrow raised and took a deep sight. He sat on the examination table and unzipped his vest while saying:"Let's get this over with.". What was he doing he thought to himself. He was being a major asshole right now and he noticed that his behavior did an impact on her. She had a sad look on her face and she was avoiding his gaze. She had her back turned to him while she was putting on latex gloves. So he just got up and stood behind her so close that he felt her flinch.

"He is so close." She thought. Truth was that she felt so small like this. She was a tall girl by nature but Kakashi was at least one head taller than her. The fact that he was so tall and standing so close made her flinch:"What should I do?". She turned around and met his masked face but warm eyes. He took her hand in his and raised it to his masked lips. He planted a small kiss to her gloved fingers and then said:"I am sorry I shouldn't stick my nose where I am not supposed to. I will never do that gain I hope you forgive me." The felt her face burning up and turned around so fast to finish preparing while waving him off in a shaky voice:"It's okay don't worry I already forgave you."

She felt his footsteps as he was going back to sit on top of the table. There were sound of clothes being removed and when she finally turned around she almost fainted. Sakura knew that her ex-sensei had a nice body but that was it. She had no idea he had a HOT body. His stomach was well shaped and tight six pack. His broad chest was covered in tone muscles and so were his arms. Every muscle in his arms was thight and trained. She kept her gaze on him for a while.

Sakura was blushing just by looking at him:"What does this mean? Is she lusting after me?" He kept waiting for her without saying anything. After a short moment she started listening to his heartbeat with a stethoscope then she took a note. After that she took his wrist to take his pulse and then took a deep breath before taking another note: "You heartbeat is a bit fast. But rather than that you are okay?"

"Gee I wonder why my heartbeat is out of order. Oh yeah, maybe because you were ogling me and blushing at the same time." He thought as he started putting on his clothes. Then heard her sight and turned around to look at her. Her eyebrow was twitching:"Why don't you come to my house tomorrow night. I will make peace by cooking you dinner. " she said while she was struggling to keep a proud face but then she raised her voice at him:"But you have to bring my favorite chocolate mint ice cream as a desert.". After her statement he raised an eyebrow and simply shrugged his shoulders:"Fine as long as you don't have any plans with Izumo."

Sakura was about to explode not only was he being an asshole but he was using Izumo as tool to make her feel guilty: "That date was only a one time deal mister Look at me I am spying from a tree.". She could tell that he felt uncomfortable. He slowly turned around and scratched the back of his head while trying to avoid her eyes:"Well you see I thought you would kill me that is why I decided to wait on that tree until you left. I happened to overhear you conversation with him." She crossed her arms in front of her chest and just said while looking out the window to avoid his gaze:"Anyway let us just forget about this whole situation and have a nice dinner tomorrow night. I know for a fact that those three idiots Naruto, Sasuke and Sai are going to be send on a mission. Plus this is the only comfortable time for me to do it. The festival is on Monday and the whole week will be hard for me after that."

After that statement her faced became sad. He did not know why but he didn't want to ask. Another fight with her and would have to go and throw himself from some bridge. Sakura's revenge wasn't a dish he would want to enjoy any time soon. They agreed on a time and he left. She went back to her office and threw herself in her chair:"I will not be able to sleep because of you tonight. The festival is coming soon and as much as I am trying maybe after releasing that lantern in the air I will release you from my mind along with it." She thought after releasing her hair from the thight bun that it was tied in.

That night she was in bed, relaxing and reading a nice book before falling asleep. But she found that she couldn't focus on what was on the pages her thoughts were drifting back to this afternoon and in particular Kakashi. His body made an impact on her but what made her heartbeat even faster was the small kiss he gave on her gloved hand:"Why did he do that? For him it seemed more than just an apology. I wonder what it meant for him. The same goes for me?" she turned on her stomach and grunted against the pillow. Sex that's right she just needed sex. But there was no one who would satisfy her tastes:"Or maybe….No! No way in hell! I should even burn because of that thought." . She turned off the lights and fell asleep quickly and for the first time ever she didn't dream about that man she dreamed her ex-sensei.

"What was with that sad look on her face today?" the Copy-nin thought after returning to his apartment. He threw his clothe on the floor and his way to the shower. After letting the cool water relax his body he started thinking about her again. Something had happened to her. Something he didn't know. From her words today he figured that it had something to do with the war.

Sure the war had made an impact on all of them. But an impact that would cause her to take a break for a whole week after the festival that was something different. He felt like he should ask her but knowing how she felt when it came to someone asking too much about her private life made that idea fade away. After the shower he went to bed to relax and read but then he remembered. Tomorrow night he was going to go to her house and have dinner with her. A thought that made him sweat out of anticipation.

Tsunade was sitting behind her desk, supporting her chin on her hand while listening to Sakura's request:"Shishou I want to take my vacation the week after the festival. ". Tsunade smiled, her student wanting a break was news that couldn't be heard every day. The legendary sucker took out a paper and filled it up with her name and rang and the dates that she would take her leave after putting the Hokage stamp on it she handed it to her pink haired student. Sakura examined the paper and started protesting:"Tsunade-sama I asked only for a week and you are giving me two. I don't want to be without work for that long. I will die of boredom."

Tsunade just leaned back in her chair and smiled while saying:"Two weeks is nothing. You worry too much. The last time you took a leave was almost a year and half ago. You need it. Plus if you are going to be that bored, the nights when I am going to be working late you can always come with a present for me that would give me motivation to work faster. " Tsunade just gave her a wink. Sakura caught up fast and started laughing.

"Who are you cooking for? Ino asked while taking a sip from her coffee. The blond ran into her in the Hokage tower and Sakura invited her for a cup of coffee at her place so they can gossip about the physicals yesterday. Sakura took out all of the ingredients out of the shopping bag and started organizing them on the counter:"Kakashi I invited him over for dinner se we can make peace.". Sakura had told Ino everything about him and the way she was thinking about him and to her surprise Ino was so excited and happy that she couldn't keep it in herself:"Romantic dinner with which a secret mission is present. Seduction!"

Sakura snarled. When she offered Kakashi to cook for him she never had that in mind. But now that Ino had said it an exclamation mark appeared in her head:"Ino nothing like that is going to happen as I told you I need sex and I am just desperate I guess." Ino made a smart face and raised up her nose high in the air:"I know but you never know what might happen."


I know that these two chapters are a little late but I had a lot going on. Also I am aware of the fact they are uneventful in a way but I promise to spice things up in the next two ones :P
