Sakura pushed open the heavy door that lead to the 5th Hokage's office. Kakashi trailing behind her looking into a small orange booklet, peeking over it to look at the young ninja often.

"Sakura, Kakashi." Tsunaide boldly examined the two.

"Ah H-" Sakura answered, But not getting a chance to finish before Kakashi spoke.

"The papers?" Kakashi stepped in.

"Of course, make sure to get them there safe. ASAP!" Tsunaide's stare was just as scary as Yamato. What was going on?

"This mission is top secret! I've already told your team mates that you two are being sent to train a young ninja outside of the village. So you can leave without them knowing why you are really going." Tsunaide snapped back.

"Wait, why can't we tell Naruto or Sasuke?" Sakura whined, tightening her hand into a fist. Her hair standing up on end. Kakashi sighed.

"I can't tell you that. Sakura you know I care for you like a daughter, why would I want to hurt you. Just trust me, ok!" Tsunaide leaned back in her chair, and took a sip of sake. A small smile creped across her face.

"Sakura, go home and pack what you will need. This mission will be about a week long. Meet me at the gate at 6pm." Kakashi gently responded, putting his hand on her head.

"And dress warm for god sakes!" Tsunaide yelled back as Sakura reached the door. A smile ran across both their faces.

Sakura folded her warm red sweater neatly into her backpack. Then she put the straps around her back and pulled out her hair. With a wink in the mirror, she was ready to go. Inner Sakura kept her peace while Sakura got ready for the secret mission. A secret mission with just her and Kakashi. At the thought of this Sakura blushed.

It was 6:05 pm and Sakura was sitting in the snow near the gates. Kakashi was nowhere to be seen. This was not uncommon.

Sakura sighed as she lifted her silky hair out of her face. Closing her eyes and going into a light sleep. All of a sudden a gentle hand rested on her shoulder. Sakura smirked, thinking this was part of her dream. She rested her hand on top of the existing one resting on her shoulder, then turned her head upwards pecking her lips onto the others.

"Sakura.. What are you doing?" Kakashi mumbled, breaking away from her lips. His ears bright red.

"Wait what! I thought it was a .. a.. dream. And I didn't know it was you! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!!" Sakura rambled on, her face feeling hot.

"Sakura, shhh. Its ok." Kakashi said, stopping her from going any farther with her apologies. He then took his finger and wiped a single tear from crawling down her cheek. "I mean.. Its not like I didn't want you to." He added, closing his eye making a smile under his mask.

Sakura's eyes widened in shock.

"lets get going Sakura." Kakashi whispered, taking her hand and pulling her up off the ground.

They have been walking for hours, and it was getting late. Kakashi had mentioned that they would probably arrive tomorrow evening. Sakura's knees started to weaken as they continued through the woods.

"Sakura, we should stop and rest for the night." Kakashi spoke for the first time in about an hour. Sakura had been waiting for him to say that and was happy to hear it.

Kakashi took a small bag off his shoulder and unravelled it. With little effort it turned into a small tent. Sakura did her part and placed two sleeping bags inside as well as the rest of her things. Then she crawled into her sleeping bag, her back lying on the ground. It felt so nice to be resting from such a long walk.

"Sakura." Kakashi whispered. Sakura quickly turned her head to the right to look at her former sensei, who was lying in his own sleeping bag. It was hard to see him in the dark, so she quickly tried to adjust her eyes.

"hm?" She answered, telling him she was awake but tired.

"Are you ok?" He repeated once again today. Sakura realized she was shivering. It was really cold.

"Yea.. Its just a little cold." She replied. Shifting herself into a more comfortable position.

Then Sakura heard Kakashi shift towards her and unzip his sleeping bag, then putting his arms around her. She could instantly feel is warm body temperature meet her cold body.

"So warm." Sakura whispered, not meaning to say it out loud.

This was going to be the best sleep of my life. Sakura thought in her head, as she dozed off into a deep sleep. His arms still tight around her, and his warm breath tickling her neck.
