Kakashi panted heavily as his knees began to give way, "I want to fucking kill you right now," he growled out in frustration.

The pinkette across from him only smiled, sweat dripping down her brow, "Get used to it!" she spat back, knowing he was only frustrated with her training technique. She smiled at him, "You have two more weeks until shinobi's are able to go back on missions! Two weeks to get your shit together!" she called again, straightening her posture.

Kakashi felt all his anger fall away, "You planned this?" He gasped out quietly, eyes widening on the woman. She brought her hand up to her mouth and giggled, "God damn it, Sakura!" he called in frustration as he ran his fingers through his silver hair. "Can we take a break?" he called as he panted heavily, his body drained from his chakra depletion, looking up at the darkening sky he muttered, "It's going to rain anyway."

She crossed her arms, pouting her lip as she looked at him, "You're just lazy, you don't want to train anymore!" When he didn't give her a sarcastic reply, her eyes widened, "Oi, are you scared of the rain?" She muttered as she tilted her head to the side.

Kakashi and Sakura both began walking towards each other, the darkness only increasing, "Why does it always rain when I'm with you?" Kakashi asked timidly, meaning for it to be a rhetorical question.

Sakura's eyes were focused on the sky, "Because I heal people, rain means rebirth and change?" her voice soft and forlorn as she gazed into the sky. His brow frowned together, questioning if she was serious. Sakura chuckled as she sat on the grass, falling back and laying down.

Kakashi looked down at her, "What?" she questioned, a smile tugging at her lips as she sprawled out on the grass. "Sit down, relax for once," she teased as she winked at the man, "Either you're training or complaining," she teased as he sat beside her.

The grass swayed as they sat in silence, her eyes closing as her body relaxed, "What do you want in your future?" she asked quietly as she turned her head to face him.

Kakashi watched her turn in the grass, her pink tendrils scattering as her eyes looked up at him. A warmth began to spread through him, Even her eyes can do it… he thought to himself, suddenly thinking about her question. He lay beside her, his hands behind his head, "Near future or…?"

"Anything," she giggled as she looked at him with a smile.

He laughed, "You're so intrigued," he chuckled, "I want to get married one day. Maybe even see you, Sasuke, and Naruto get married as well." Kakashi felt his body relax in the grass, his eyes softening, "I want to see Asuma's boy graduate the academy," he muttered softly.

Sakura smiled to herself, "You should see him, he's almost 6 now." She turned, laying on her stomach, propped up on her elbows, "Marriage, huh? I didn't think Hatake Kakashi was the marrying type?"

He chuckled to himself, "I learn a lot from my books," he teased. "Are we playing the question game?" He asked suddenly.

"Yes, we are," she grinned, taking his question from him, "Why do you read those silly books?" She asked as she poked his cheek.

Kakashi shrugged, "Because I'm sexually frustrated and I prefer reading to fraternization?" Sakura's eyes widened, "Weren't expecting that, were you?" He smiled beneath his mask.

"No, I wasn't," her smile widened as he asked another question, frustration suddenly clear on his face as he noticed his mistake, "Why are you still wearing your mask in front of me? I've already seen your face."

Kakashi's brow rose, "Would you like me to take it off?" She turned over on her side laughing, "Damn it," he growled.

Sakura's laugh echoed through the training grounds, "You suck at this game," she giggled again, listening to the thunder rolling in the distance. "But yes," she muttered suddenly, "I feel like you trust me more," Kakashi rose a brow and gave a soft nod, never moving to pull down his mask. "May I do it?" she asked as she sat up, kneeling beside him.

His eyes scanned over her, confused at how excited she was, "Go for it," he sighed in defeat, She's already seen me without it.

She pulled off her gloves, slowly reaching up to his mask, her body leaning over him. Kakashi closed his eyes, feeling the warmth of her body return even at the slightest touch, smelling the slight smell of strawberries even at such a distance. Her fingertips brushed against his skin as she cautiously pulled down his mask. The way her fingertips brushed over his skin sent shivers down his spine. Slowly opening his eyes, he was greeted by a pair of emerald pools staring back at him. "What?"

Her brows frowned, "You still haven't been sleeping well, have you?" she asked quietly.

Kakashi shook his head, "I'm just hoping training will knock me out at night," he chuckled nervously trying to get her to create more distance between them. It was his turn for a question, "Did you plan this?" he asked her quietly. Confused, Sakura tilted her head to the side, her eryes begging him to continue, "Having me train with you while all the villages are getting ready for the festival?" he asked.

She pulled away from him and smiled, running her fingers through her hair as another crack of thunder crackled across the sky. "I figured that after this week of training, and two weeks of physical therapy and healing, you'll be ready for missions again after the ball." He sat up quickly, looking at her with confusion, "You didn't know about the ball?"

Sakura hit her palm against her forehead, "Jesus," she whimpered quietly, "there's a ball, kind of thing, at the end of the festival week. We all go to this beautiful place in the middle of the villages; dress up kind of nice and just have fun." He looked away, his lips pursing, "It's optional though," she quickly added with a chuckle.

Rain began to fall from the sky, drop by drop soaking the training grounds. Sakura cupped his cheek, the heat from her hand almost alarming him. "It's your turn," she whispered softly, smiling at the man, enjoying the smile she got in return. On reflex he nuzzled against the palm of her hand, the warmth overpowering the cold of the timid drizzle. Her eyes scanned his bare face, the silence confusing her. What is he thinking?

"When's the next time we can train?" he asked quietly, turning his head from her hand pulling up his mask.

I should have known, She force her smile, she recoiled her hand, tapping her chin softly, "Well, whenever the rain stops," she smiled as she slowly got to her feet, "Go home, Kakashi, go get some sleep." She giggled as she held her hands behind her back.

Kakashi slowly got up as well, struggling to find the words to speak to the woman. Suddenly, she seemed so far from him. Did I say something wrong?

Shoving his hands into his pockets, Kakashi began walking in the opposite direction. "Kakashi!" Sakura called suddenly, eyes wide as she turned to him. He looked over his shoulder, surprised by her outburst, "it's been a few days since you got those pills… if you cant sleep, I can always fix up a potion… just let me know, okay?" she muttered shyly, a nervous smile curving her lips.

He smiled under his mask, "House calls, again?" She shook her head and laughed, walking away. Kakashi let the rain soak him to the bone once again as he walked throughout the village. He didn't want to go home, walking the village seemed like a better idea.

"K-Kakashi-sensei?" A soft voice asked quietly. Kakashi turned, surprised to see glowing crystal eyes looking through him. Tamori's smile softened, seeing the confusion on the man's face. Tamori held a bag of groceries in one hand and the handle of her umbrella in the other. "Y-you're out in the rain," she giggled, stating the obvious.

The girl was so blunt, so timid, that Kakashi couldn't help but chuckle at the observation, "I am," he said as he gave his soaking sleeves a confused look; making them both laugh even more.

Tamori's eyes softened, "You look like there's something on your mind," she muttered softly as she offered him her umbrella. He shook his head, her smile only brightening, "Kamiko should be back any minute, maybe you can talk to her," Tamori giggled as she turned around, walking towards a chuunin apartment complex; one Naruto had begged for his students to use.

Kakashi's brows frowned together, unable to understand the woman in front of him. "Tamori," he called suddenly. She looked over her shoulder, smiling at him to continue. His words were caught in his throat, unable to ask the question that he was searching for.

Tamori smiled happily, "She likes you, ya'know?" She giggled happily, "It's very hard for her to find someone that matches her wits. She normally can be… abrasive, to people her age," Tamori giggled, "You are the closest thing she has to a friend, Kakashi-sensei."

Kakashi's eyes widened, unable to speak due to the kind smile that the woman had given him; so genuine and motherly. "I'm just going to head home." Tamori gave a nod, hearing the confusion and fatigue in his voice.

Tamori stopped again, smiling at the man, "If you cant sleep, Kakashi-sensei, Haruno-san make's the best tea." She giggled with a smile as she began walking towards her apartment without another word. Kakashi shook his head, grinning at the young woman as she walked away, slowly making his way back to his own home.

Slowly, like Sakura had said, Kakashi was getting used to his apartment once again. It had taken almost two weeks to feel even close to home; but he was surprised it was happening at all. The sound of rain echoed throughout the empty apartment, Kakashi enjoying the scent as it lingered in the air.

With a deep breath, he walked to his room; Kakashi let his jacket fall to the ground, his shirt quickly following. Taking off his headband, he placed it on table next to his bed, taking off his mask as well. A heavy sigh escaped his lips as he collapsed into his bed. I haven't been this tired in a long time… Kakashi thought to himself as he closed his eyes, letting the darkness over take him.

The silver haired man's nose began to twitch in his sleep, the smell of strawberries lingering in the air. Sakura? Kakashi thought to himself as he felt the weight on the bed shift. What is going on? Slowly he opened his eyes, the woman's face only inches from his. His eyes widened as he looked over the woman.

"Kakashi…" she whispered quietly, her face now only inches away from his, her body hovering over his on all fours. Kakashi's eyes scanned the woman, the heat radating from her remarkable. All he could see was skin. Her legs were bare, her arms were bare, he could see along her flat stomach, and most distracting of all, he could see every curve of her body. "You're looking at me like that again…" she whispered as one of her hands ran over his chest, her hips swaying from side to side in his view.

The touch of her hand sent a shiver down his spine, his skin searing at her touch. She slowly leaned down, brushing his lips over his collar, her rear still in the air as she spoke, "Why do you keep looking at me like that?" her voice was quiet, a soft whimper as her hot breath danced over his skin.

A low groan erupted from his throat as her chest pressed against his, the heat of her touch setting his body on fire. Reluctantly, he raised his hands, unable to stop from touching her he began running them along her thighs. Her breath hitched at his touch, a whimper of pleasure escaping her lips as his coarse hands moved her thighs, pushing her forward so she was now straddling his waist. "When you do things like this, I cant help it," he growled as he looked into her glowing eyes.

Her hands ran over his chest slowly, her fingertips light against his skin as she explored, her hips slowly rocking against his. Another groan escaped Kakashi's lips as he felt his blood rush through his veins, his hands clutching her thighs lightly. Sakura slowly sat up, letting him completely see what she had been wearing; to his dismay, it was less than he had originally thought. She straddled his waist in a pair of extremely short spandex shorts, and black sports bra; her toned stomach and bouncing bust extremely clear from his vantage point.

His eyes roamed to her face, her eyes hardly open as she continued rolling her hips against his, a blush spreading across her cheeks as she felt the bulge forming in his pants; grinding harder against it as the friction sent waves of pleasure through her. She bit her lip to quiet the moan that escaped her lips, the action only sending Kakashi over the edge, Fuck.

Kakashi wrapped an arm around Sakura's waist, quickly flipping them over; the silver haired shinobi now on top of the pinkette. With his knee between her legs, he slowly slid his hand down her stomach, feeling the woman arch her back as his hand slowly snuck into her shorts.

Sakura closed her eyes, gasping out quietly as her blush darkened. Kakashi felt the sweat beginning to coat his body. The woman was so warm, a single touch felt like an inferno to him, yet he wanted nothing more than to continue touching her as much as possible. He pressed his body against hers, his lips dragging over her skin, the scent of strawberries slowly dwindling. Shit, Kaksahi growled to himself as he slowly pulled his hand out of the kunoichi's shorts, looking away from the confused and disappointed look on her face. Slowly, Kakashi sat up, his hands forming a seal, "Kai…" he mumbled softly. He watched as the woman, the smell, and the heat disappeared; leaving only an empty and cold room.

Heavy breath lingered in the air as Kakashi's blood slowly settled, "A genjutsu at this time of night isn't funny, Kamiko," he growled loudly his eyes darting to the window; sharp as daggers.

No one had been there though, to his surprise. It's past midnight… Kakashi sighed, grabbing a thin long sleeve shirt, he jumped from his bed; walking back out into the rain. This is much better than a cold shower, he groaned to himself.

A banging on the door shocked Sakura out of her sleep. Tired green eyes hesitantly opened, her fingers digging into the pillow under her. "Fucking hell," she growled quietly as she looked at the clock beside her bed. "2 in the morning, I'm going to fucking kill him." As the banging on her door continued, she recently pried herself out of bed.

Swinging the door open, she gave a low growl not even opening her eyes to look to see who it was, "What do you want?" she hissed darkly.

"Oh, shit," The blonde muttered as he looked away from the woman, blush creeping over his cheeks. "You know you're not wearing –" but he was quickly cut off.

Sakura gave another growl, feeling the rain only when the wind picked up. "Naruto-" she growled quietly slowly opening her eyes. The moment she saw him, her anger subsided. The man was hardly dressed, only a t-shirt and a pair of pants. "Naruto?" she questioned in confusion.

He looked away from her, tears pooling in his eyes, "I'm really confused Sakura-chan." He muttered softly. Sakura nodded softly, stepping aside, letting the man into her home. "It's about Hinata-chan…"

Sakura's brow rose, she hadn't heard anything about the Hyuuga heiress since the quarrel in the market place. Naruto came in, sitting at the table without another word, "Naruto, did something happen?" Sakura asked in confusion.

He ran his hands through his hair in frustration, leaning agains this elbows on the table, "I don't know what to do Sakura-chan," he muttered a she looked up at her, a slight blush across his face, "She said these things…" Sakura sat next to him, her brow raising, "She said she loved me…"

"Yeah?" Sakura asked with a chuckle, "Naruto… that cant be new to you." The man looked up at her with pure confusion; eyes wide. "You didn't?" she asked covering her mouth, trying to suppress the giggle forming. "Naruto… Hinata-chan's had feelings for you since the acadamey," Sakura chuckled and smiled, "All the girls used to make fun of her because she was the only girl who didn't fight for Sasuke-kun – because she only had eyes for you."

"And you didn't tell me?" Naruto spat suddenly.

Sakura's eyes softened, "Naruto… it was right in front of you. She was willing to help you cheat during the chuunin exam, protected you against Pein, she told you she loves you. She fought by your side during the war and gave you hope when you needed it most. She's loved you since the very first day."

Naruto became quiet, his eyes glazed with memories as he went back and tried to find the hints that she had left; even the obvious ones. "She loves me… like how you love Sasuke-kun?" Naruto questioned, trying to wrap his head around what was going on.

Sakura shook her head, standing from her seat. She kissed his forehead, "More than that, Naruto, Hinata-chan loves you more than I ever loved Sasuke-kun."

Naruto's eyes widened, "Naruto, where are you going?" Sakura questioned as the man stood up quickly, the chair falling behind him.

"I need to see Hinata-chan!" Naruto called as he quickly ran out of the apartment. Sakura shook her head and groaned, returning to her bed.

The comfort of the woman's bed was enough to relax her after being woken up so early. Sakura smiled as she nuzzled against her pillow, enjoying playing match maker for even just a moment. Looking at the clock she gave a soft sigh, At least I don't work tomorrow, she thought to herself as she slowly drifted back to sleep.

Another bang against the door shocked Sakura from her sleep. "Fucking hell, Naruto," she growled as she slowly got out of bed, "I will fucking kill you," she groaned as she looked at the clock: 4:17 in the morning.

Rain still pattered against the windows as Sakura made her way down the stares to the door. Odd, he normally knocks a few times, she thought to herself as she ran her fingers through her pastel hair.

Opening the door, her eyes widened. "Kakashi?"

Kakashi stood in her doorway, dripping wet from the rain: silver hair hanging over his face, his mask around his neck, navy shirt clinging to his body. Her eyes scanned him, every muscle on his body was easily seen as the fabric clung to him, but as her eye reached his face she felt something was amiss.

Kakashi's eyes ran over the woman, almost unable to speak. She was wearing hardly any clothing to answer the door, she must have been assuming it was someone else. Her long pale legs were completely exposed beside the black lace that wrapped around her waist. A long white shirt covering her torso, only buttoned an inch before her navel allowing him a clear view of the perky round bust that she normally hid. Messy hair only added to the look, her pale skin looking like silk against the mess.

She blushed as his eyes roamed over her body, "Kakashi…?" she questioned again, surprised that he hadn't said a word to her, "Are you okay?"

Kakashi's eyes fell to her bare feet, his brow frowning in confusion as he searched for the words. Why couldn't he remember why he was there? He looked up at her again, glowing emerald eyes worried for his sake alone; he couldn't stand to look into her eyes. He opened his mouth to speak but was unable to, the words escaping once again. Biting his lip, his eyes met hers, keeping the eye contact as he muttered, "I need you."


So, I've been in a really big writing mood today, so everyone gets a new chapter. Tell me what you think of the random smut?
