Sakura
Twenty minutes later I was sitting on Kakashi's couch, staring out the open window. The rain had started up again, and it was coming down harder than ever. "I wonder if everyone got back okay…" I wondered aloud, thinking of Lee at the hospital, then of Sasuke and Sai who lived close to each other. "They're fine." Kakashi said, walking in casually. "How are you even able to walk after collapsing like that?" I asked, forgetting to hide the shock in my voice. He shrugged, serving himself a portion of the noodles that I made. "I heal fast." He lied, walking over to the couch across from me. "You lie like a dog, Kakashi. As a trained medical ninja, I can tell that you are just barely able to walk like that. You should stop, because it doesn't help anyone." I informed him, trying not to sound like it was obvious. He didn't look convinced, so he started eating his food.
Unluckily, Kakashi had perfected the art of eating with a mask on, so I didn't get to see his face. Dropping the conversation, I looked out the window. "Worried about Lee?" Kakashi asked. Turning back to him, I saw that his face had a complete new expression on it, like he didn't want to hear my answer but wanted it anyway. "Yeah." I muttered, and Kakashi tensed up. "What's wrong, Kakashi?" I asked, concern filling my question. "Nothing…" he mumbled, looking at the empty noodle bowl in his hand. "I'll get that for you, Kakashi." I said, getting up to grab the bowl. He handed it to me with a strange expression on his face. Feeling wierded out, I took the bowl into the kitchen and washed it. When I returned to the room, I sat back down on the couch and turned to Kakashi.
"Kakashi, I've known you for about eleven or twelve years now, and I can tell when you are keeping something from me, so spit it out." I ordered, feeling tired of constantly trying to understand what his glances and eye crinkles meant. He stopped looking out the window, and looked at me, concern plastered all over his face. "I didn't mean to bother you, Sakura. It's just that something's been bothering me and I don't know what to do about it." Kakashi told me, looking straight at me. A chill ran up my spine, wondering what it could be. "W-what is it, K-kakashi?" I stuttered, not being able to look away from his one eye. I could have sworn, he might be using a genjutsu or something. "It's about Lee. I don't like where he was going today on the hospital roof. It made me feel weird, it filled me with anger. It's never happened before, so I don't know how to explain it." He said slowly, shaking his hands to show how angry he was. A sick feeling pooled in my stomach. Uh-oh… something's coming… Kakashi stared at me like I needed to know this. When he spoke, all traces of amusement of joking had completely disappeared. "Sakura… I think I'm falling in love with you."
