Nothin is mine. Wish it was.
Kakashi Hatake was reckless. Not so much in the "Naruto Uzumaki" sort of way but more in the area of "It's ok if I die today tomorrow, or five years down the road as long as my team is ok" sort of way which is why he was currently throwing himself into an enemy's attack to protect his team medic, a pathetic, flinching girl who was not half the woman- medic he meant medic that his former student was.
The pathetic girl with her big brown eyes and fake-red hair looked up at him sniveling, causing his blood to stir.
"What are you waiting for-"
The girl yelp and cringed throwing up his thin arms to shield herself, Kakashi turned his head bemused and then saw the blade. Pushing the idiot-girl away he prepared himself for the fatal blow.
That is until a familiar battle cry sounded.
(If he was a poet or a romantic in any sense of the word he might describe how the earth shook with the gods' wrath or how sounded of cracking, breaking earth sounded as thunderous as an Emperor's army. As he was not that kind of man he'd settle for saying it "was less than subtle". If however he was hammered and you insistently questioned him on the sound, remembered he'd have to be piss-drunk, he might get that faraway look, and say how he knew that sound meant that one hell of a feisty she devil was preparing to drag some sorry ass to hell, that he was saved, and that he'd finally get to see his Sakura-chan again.)
With an enraged cry, was shortly followed by a pissed off Haruno Sakura who proceeded to beat each one of the rouges into less than a bloody pulp. Than after she finished she punch him in the jaw (he could feel it crack), flung him back camp where the other reinforcements were waiting with his team, and then healed him while simultaneously shooting him dirty looks as she muttered under her breath much to the evident amusement of the other leaf-nin.
That amusement ended however was short lived as the fiery hokage's apprentice hauled her chunin counterpart up and slapped her without restraint. The girl howled of coursed and began to look like a kicked puppy much to Sakura's irritation.
"What the hell is a medic's purpose on the field?"
The girl barely restrained a sob.
"Stop your damned sniveling because I don't give a fuck what you have to say but your damned sobbing is as grating as your lack of instincts. A fucking knife comes at you and your team leader has to step in? Are you a fucking ninja or not you brain-dead twat? And what the hell is the use of a fucking medic if they can't heal their comrades-"
"B-but Ha-h-haruno-sempai-"
Nimble fingers snatched up the girl's shirt.
"Look at me Hikari," Hesitantly the raised her eyes. "Man up Hikari, man-up and learn to be a ninja, no-one told me to no one told me how to but you'd better figure it out soon, preferably before your sheer stupidity gets a good man killed."
The girl stifled her sobbing and the leaf-nin made their way back home. No one commenting on Sakura's protective hovering , nor the way Kakashi's fingers might innocently brush Sakura's in lingering touches.
