The fiece sunlight woke Sakura from her much appreciated sleep and what she woke to was something she never thought she'd experience. She couldn't believe it, her, Sakura Haruno had spent the night with Kakashi Hatake. They'd spent the night wrapped in each others arms and she noticed that last night was the first time she'd slept soundly, without being plagued by nightmares. It was all thanks to the man who's arms locked her in a powerful embrace. Last night, this man who was reknown for his disconnected personality had bared his soul to her and poured out his wants, needs, fears and secrets. She spent a few moments trying to grasp the full extent of what it all meant when suddenly, she was snatched from her thoughts by a pleasurable friction on her breasts, caused by her handsome company as he rolled around in his sleep. It only took a few moments for her to realise what the sensation was. Her chest was bare, she had no top on. 'You took it off last night, remember, Haruno?' Indeed she did remember. She also remembered watching Kakashi's Sharingan slid open to memorise the sight that was before him. She blushed at the thought, 'he's got that image stored somewhere in his brain now.' She tried to bring herself to be mad at him for him, but she couldn't. Not after last night. Not after he held her tight and whispered sweet nothings in her ear as they drifted between consciousness and a blissful sleep. 'Hnn, morning beautiful,' came the groggy voice of her favourite man. Finally, he was awake. He instantly took advantage of his position and pulled her tighter to him and buried his face between her breasts, silver hair tickling her nose. Feebly she attempted to push the cute pervert off her but to no avail, her heart didn't want him to move. He looked up at her through lidded eyes, a playful smirk plastered across his rugged features, 'you're such a pervert Hatake,' she said with a playful grin of her own. 'Hey! To be fair, YOU'RE the one in MY bed without YOUR shirt on, I mean come on, what's a man to do?' He had a point. 'Never the less, the boob fondling was such a pervert move,' she joked back, refusing to back down from this. 'Deny it all you want my little cherry blossom, you loved it.' That grin was just getting larger and larger. Suddenly an idea popped into her mind, staring into his eyes with a seductive smile she replied, 'who said I was denying it, Hatake?' She laced her voice with flirtatious venom. That hit the spot. She watched as his face flushed to a bright red and he looked away from her eyes.

Before he could formulate a witty response he heard his front door burst open. There was only one person who made such an entrance. Naruto was here. 'KAKASHI, YO, WHERE ARE YOU MAN!'
'Oh shit..' he felt Sakuras words reverberate through her chest and it shook his cheek slgihtly. That was when he realised his face was still buried in her chest and she had no top on. His mind was running at a million miles an hour. He was still in a sleepy haze and the thoughts weren't piecing together properly. It wasn't until Naruto had burst into his bedroom with that goofy smile of his did Kakashi realise what was wrong. 'Sakura? What are you..' he trailed off as he noticed Kakashi's presence. 'Kakashi.. WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON HERE?' He screamed out his words with a strong sense of anger.
'Naruto, I can explain.' Spoke Sakura, somehow managing to keep a calm tone despite the crimson blush spreading across her face and down her neck.
'Go on then, enlighten me. Tell me why you're in Kakashi's bed.' Growled Naruto. Obviously mad at the Copy Ninja for taking advantage of his friend.
Kakashi felt like he should move from Sakura's chest, but to be honest, he didn't really care what Naruto thought about the situation, Hokage or not he was still Naruto, Konohas number one knucklehead ninja.
'Well..' Sakura tried to explain, but it was pointless. She didn't want to tell Naruto why she was in Kakashi bed without her top on. Kakashi could tell jsut from that look on her face. She was afraid and nervous, so he thought he'd take over from where she left off.
'Naruto, listen up, cause I'm only gunna go over this once, alright?' sighed Kakashi, wishing nothing more than to go back to his dreamless sleep.
'Whatever'
'Good. Now, where to start..' He thought for a while. As Hokage, Naruto was naturally well informed of everything that happened in the village. And he knew about Sai and Yamato's unfortunate fates. 'Alright, well, as you're aware, while on a mission in the Hidden Mist Village our team members, Sai and Yamato were taken down by the rogue nins we were tracking. And as I'm sure you're aware, both Sakura and myself were harshly affected by this, both blaming ourselves for what happened to our friends.' Kakashi was struggling to get all this out without breaking down again.
'Yeah but what the hell does that have to do with my SENSEI sleeping with his STUDENT.' shouted Naruto, on the brink of losing his cool. Kakashi had to end this quickly to avoid a messy ending.
'If you'd let me finish what I was fucking saying, you'd know why already.' Kakashi was sick of this shit. 'We had a huge fight two weeks ago and until last night we'd avoided each other, needless to say, I spent the two weeks cutting myself and destroying my own mind all while on the brink of suicide. But Sakura showed up in my appartment last night and all that changed, we had a talk and we made up. But.. I didn't want to be alone anymore. I just wanted someone around, someone to care. I'm sure you can relate Naruto.' He knew he'd hit the nail on the head with that last comment. He was right. If anyone knew lonliness, it was Naruto.
'I do understand Kakashi. But that still doesn't explain why her top is off.' He growled.
'I am right here you know Naruto, stop talking like I'm not.' Sakura growled back at him.
'Sorry, Sakura chan..' He mumbled. Rubbing the back of his head with his right hand, a habit he'd grown into since he bacame Hokage.
'Her top is off because she hugged me.' He said simply.
'Um..'
Kakashi laughed when he saw Naruto rub his head again. Obviously not understanding. 'I was soaked with my own blood, Sakura hugged me and got it all over her shirt, and she, by some stroke of luck on my part, didn't have a bra on. So she just took it off. I assure you Naruto, as a teacher and as a friend. Nothing happened last night.'

Naruto wasn't sure whether or not he wanted to believe his old sensei. After all, his face was, and still is, lying on top of Sakura's chest, and she seems completely fine with it. 'Have a little more faith in your old sensei Naruto. He wouldn't lie to you about something like this.' As much as he told himself that, he couldn't shake the feeling that something HAD indeed happened last night. Something that made something change between the two of them. Ugh, he needed answers. Too many things could have happened, but Naruto realised that he wasn't wanted in the room at that time. He'd have to get his information some other time. But then he realised his original reasons for visiting Kakashi this early in the morning. 'Kakashi, can I speak with you for a moment, in private.' He guestured at the door and Kakashi took the hint. Groaning he rolled out of bed and Naruto noticed that Sakura blushed and hurried to cover herself in Narutos presence. He grinned at the fact. He took his leave from the room to give Kakashi the decency to get dressed. A few minutes later Kakashi appeared with his usual, blank face on.
'What is it you needed to talk to me about?' He knew it was serious.
'Kakashi, I have a mission for you.' Naruto stated bluntly, and the Copy Ninja didn't look too happy about what he'd said.
'You mean you woke me up from the best sleep I've ever had, with the woman I lo-..' He watched as Kakashi took his time to consider his words carefully. 'The woman I care about most in this world, and you take me away from all that, just to tell me I have a mission?' He growled out his words with a grit. He really was agitated.
'This isn't just any mission Kakashi, this is an S rank assassination mission in Suna.' Naruto was dreading what he had to say next. 'Due to the fragile nature of this mission, you'll be gone for at least 3 years Kakashi..' He watched as Kakashi's face changed from impassive to disbelief then to anger.
'What the fuck Naruto! I only just manage to find some fucking happiness in my life and you manage to find a mission that'll take all that away from me for 3 whole fucking years? Know what, fuck you Naruto, find someone else, I'm going back to bed.' He had no choice, Naruto grabbed Kakashi's arm.
'Kakashi, there is no one else, as your Hokage, I order you to take this mission and see it through to the end. I'm no longer tell you this as a friend, I'm telling you as The Hokage, the village comes first Kakashi, you know that as well as I do.' He closed his eyes in exaspiration. He hated having to force this on Kakashi, after all, the man was one of the few who understood the pain Naruto had faced as a young boy.

Kakashi yanked his arm from Naruto's grip. He knew Naruto was right, the village came first, it always did. 'Fuck.. Naruto, I've always put the village first, you know that, but please, don't make me do this. My whole life I've put duty before my own needs and wants, and what did I get in return? The honour of killing my own team mate. I had to put my fucking hand through her heart for this village. I lost my mentor and your father for the sake of this village and I've lost countless others all because of my duty. Please, don't make me lose another one..' As a ninja, he easily noticed Narutos features tighten, he obviously understood the pains Kakashi was facing, but he was right, The Leaf came first and as its Hokage, he had to do what had to be done.
'I already told you Kakashi, I'm not asking you, I'm ordering you. You have to leave tonight..' Naruto didn't get to finish what he was saying, nor did Kakashi care.
'What the fuck! I don't even get to spend time with Sakura before I go. This is complete and utter bullshit, Naruto!' He spat his words with a venom. He didn't want to go, he wanted to stay with Sakura and hold her and tell her everything would be fine. That they could move past Sai and Yamato and on to a brighter future. But no. Now he had less than six hours with her before he had to leave for 3 years, possibly more. He hated it. He knew this would break her apart as much as it was destroying him. But again, he realized Naruto was right. Kakashi had to put his emotions aside once more and do what needed to be done. And he was the only one who could do it.

I know it's quite a short chapter but I felt it necessary to end it here, the next chapter will be about how Sakura reacts to Naruto's decision.
