Kakashi
Finally, Tsunade deemed me fit for missions. Usually, I would have just shrugged and walked out the door, but after stuck in the Hidden Leaf Village for weeks, I couldn't help but yell a triumphant, "Yes!" Tsunade had dismissed me, and I wondered if I should go tell Sakura and Naruto, the two people who were interested, and that I wanted to know. If Gai knew, he would hunt me down to run around the village on our hands, or something like that. I decided against it, and just settled for going home and making some food. As I was walking down the road, I spotted Gai and Lee power walking down the road, so I ducked into the closest store, which happened to be the Ichiraku Ramen shop. I saw Naruto shoveling ramen into his face, but when I walked in he turned around and forced, "Gamoornin Shenshay!" He was having trouble talking with all of the ramen in his mouth. Quickly I ducked out, so as not to be stuck there for a couple hours talking about ramen.
I ran home, and opened the door to find Sakura asleep on my couch. "Oh yeah, dang it. This is when she usually checks on me." I muttered, walking over to wake her up. Yawning, she mumbled, "You weren't here…" I nodded saying, "Yeah, Tsunade said that I'm ready for missions. That means you don't have to make house calls anymore." I couldn't help mask the disappointment that filled the last sentence. She seemed saddened by it too, looking down at her feet. I sat down next to her, putting a comforting arm around her shoulder. She looked at me, so I pulled my arm back. "Sorry…" I muttered, getting up. "Kakashi, wait." She said grabbing my arm. I turned to her just in time to feel her lips press against mine through my mask. She pulled back, blushing and muttered something like, "Lost control." And she started grabbing her coat, just like that night. Grabbing her shoulder, I said "Now it's your turn to wait. We can't keep doing this, Sakura. We need to talk." She looked up at me, her face screwed up in a mixture of thought, embarrassment, and confusion. Sighing, I sat her back down on the couch. "Yeah, we do." Sakura agreed.
