Chapter Four - Turn Back Time
Sakura just sat there under the big oak tree and waited and waited. Still no Kakashi in sight. She had began to rip up the grass with her fingers and then let the wind blow it away. Sakuras guess that she had been sitting here under this tree for probably two hours already, but she wasn't surprised if she was about to sit here even longer.
"Geez... I should really have taken my time..." she growled and put her chin in her palms. "Even if I know that he can be awfully late, it still worries me that he isn't here yet..."
"Yo!" someone said and Sakura jumped high in surprised.
"Sen-Sensei?" she burst out.
"What have I said about that...?"
"About what?"
"We are equals... Not student and teacher, so call me just Kakashi or Senpai... Is that really so hard to remember?"
"Eh, no... But..." Sakura frowned. "Where the hell have you been? I began to worry sick about you!"
"Eh, I got lost on my way here so..." Kakashi said and rubbed his neck anxious.
"Don't you start with that!" she growled and rised from the spot under the oak. "You know that I never ever will believe that!"
Kakashi sighed and Sakura looked at him and saw something was different.
`Holy shit!´
Sakura eyed him up and down. The Kakashi that stood in front of her was not the usual one. Instead of wearing his usually navy-blue jumper and pants and that green Chuunin vest, he stood infront of her with quite tight-fitting black pants and a black tank top, silver-grey chest armor, heavy black sandals, arm guards and the porcelain mask was slide just a bit over his head. Simpely to put it, Kakashi in his ANBU uniform and Sakura noticed that he looked really hot in it.
`Bad thoughts Sakura! He is your Sensei! You can't think he is hot!´
Kakashi noticed that Sakuras jaw had dropped some inches and he smiled down to her.
"Well, I thought it was worth a shoot... Anyway, were is your ANBU uniform?" Kakashi asked and she looked at him with a raised eyebrow.
"I don't have any... You just informed me today that I was accepted and that we should train today..." Sakura told him and she didn't really felt for training today. She was tired and felt how the sickness would more or less take control of her.
"Naruto didn't tell you...?"
"No..." she mumbled.
`That Naruto...´
"Alright... We should head to the ANBU station, it's right under the Jounin station... See you there..." and with that Kakashi was gone with a 'poof'.
Sakura just glanced at the empty spot.
"Why does things never change...?" she frowned and began to walk towards the station, grumbling to herself how that man just could leave a pregnant woman all alone. Well she wasn't really that pregnant yet.
Sakura finally ended up outside of the Jounin station and looked up to it. She knew how she could get inside of the Jounin station, but she had no idea how to get in to the ANBU station.
"Sakura..." a calm voice said behind her and she turned around.
A silver haired ANBU with a dog mask stood in front of her.
"Come with me..." the ANBU said and took a firm grip around her waist.
If Sakura hadn't recognized the silver hair and that familiar smell, she would have kicked his ass, because of the way he held her waist.
The ANBU walked towards the end of the station.
"Kougai*..." the ANBU said and pressed gloveless hand at the wall of the Jounin station.
Suddenly a door appeared in the wall and both of them walked inside and the door disappeared behind them.
Sakura looked around in the dim lit circle room and saw three people sitting behind a desk.
A man in the middle looked up from his paper work.
"Ah, Kakashi-San... I haven't seen you in a while..." the man said and smiled towards the silver haired ANBU.
"And neither have I, Yami-Taichou..." the silver hired ANBU said and took of his ANBU mask.
"So, what's your business down here?" the man Yami asked.
"I'm here to sign this young lady in to ANBU..." Kakashi said and pushed Sakura forward. "Hokage-Samas orders..."
"Hokage-Samas..." Yami mumbled and looked a bit repulsed by just looking at Sakura. "Isn't she a bit young to join ANBU...?"
"She is old enough..." Kakashi told Yami who frowned. "Do you have her papers here?"
"It was Haruno?" Yami asked and Sakura nodded and watched how the slighter older man look among a pille of papers to his left. "Ah! Here it is... Read and sign this form... It's very important that you do so..."
Sakura nodded and took the form from Yami and walked to a little desk with two chairs and sat on one of it and Kakashi sat beside her. She read through the 20 pages long form and asked Kakashi things she didn't get. She sign the front page and gave it to Kakashi who too was forced to sign it (because he was her superviser until she no longer was a greenhorn) and Kakashi handed over the form to Yami and he took it while glancing at Sakuras neat handwritting.
"Now you are an official member..." Yami said not looking at Sakura and putted the form in a box under the desk. "Get your stuff in room 1.0-13 and there you will be examined and get your ANBU tattoo..." Yami waved away them.
Kakashi took Sakura around her shoulder to escort her to room 1.0-13 and knocked on the the door. A second later someone opened the door.
"Ah? Ino!" Sakura said surprised. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm going to examining you, what else...?" the light blond woman said and opened the door wider. "Go one, Forehead..."
Sakura scowled at Ino and walked in to the room and Kakashi followed.
"Not you, Kakashi-Sensei..." Ino said and stopped him in the doorway. "You are not a woman... So you can't follow."
Kakashi was about to say that he had seen her naked before, but then he thought it would be a bad idea. If Ino began to ask questions about why he had seen her naked before, he couldn't give her a honest answer to that. So he stayed outside of the room and watched how Ino closed the door behind her.
Sakura stood beside a chair and looked at Ino who had closed the door.
"What about Kakashi-Senpai?" Sakura asked.
"What about him?"
"Shouldn't he come too?" Sakura looked at Ino.
"Do you really want to show your body to your pervert to Sensei?" Ino asked and Sakura blushed.
"N-No..." Sakura said and Ino glanced at her.
"Good, let's begin... Strip your clothes off..." Ino said and Sakura froze.
"S-Strip my clothes off...?" Sakura looked almost shocked.
"Aaa... How do you else think I can examine you...? Get moving, I don't have my whole day..." Ino said annoyed and watched how Sakura began to strip her clothes off, pretty slowly. "Come on... Hurry!"
This couldn't be happening. If Ino would place a hand on her abdomen, Sakuras life was over. She couldn't let Ino notice it yet, not when Sakura didn't know what to do with it.
"Are you a kind of a sloth? Hurry to dress off, I have an appointment today at the accoucheuse..." Ino almost growled and Sakura let her red halterneck top fall to the chair. "Finally...!"
Ino covered her hand with a slight amount of medic Chakra and to placed her hand on Sakuras head and slowly tracing her hand down Sakuras right arm and ended at Sakuras feet. When Ino came up to Sakuras abdomen, Ino stopped.
"What's the matter...?" Sakura asked a bit anxious.
"Sakura... Are you... Are you pregnant...?" Ino asked surprised and Sakura looked at her friend.
"Pregnant?" Sakura said a bit higher then necessary. "What do you mean...?"
"You know, having a baby inside of your womb..." Ino said with a raised eyebrow.
"Oh? Do I?" Sakura took a Chakra covered hand on her own abdomen. "I guess I do..."
"You are a medicnin! You should be the one who first notice it! Not me!" Ino said to Sakura.
"Just because I'm a medicnin, it doesn't mean I should notice my own body..." Sakura grunted.
"You know that I must report this kind of things..." Ino told her.
"No, please... Don't do that..." Sakura begd. "I don't want anyone to find this out, not even Naruto can find this out..."
"This isn't just about Naruto... ANBU require that I inform them about things like this. If you are pregnat, you can't do ANBU missions until your child is born..." Ino told Sakura. "The ANBU law says so..."
"Please Ino... Joining ANBU is important to me... Can't you just pretend that you didn't noticed that I was pregnant..." Sakura pleded and Ino sighed. "I mean, if I got pregnant during my ANBU missions they can't say anything..."
Ino looked away from Sakura and bit her lip.
"Do you want me to break the rules?" Ino said.
"Hai... Just until I know what I will do with this..." Sakura said and pointed to her stomach.
"Well, if you ask me it would be easier just to do an abortions. But I know you, so I think that is out of question..." Ino mumbled and looked back to Sakura. "Anyway, I think we should tell your superviser about this... He is the one that is going to train you and go do missions with you... And therefor I am going to tell you this, no punching to the stomach and no deardevil things..."
"Promies..." Sakura said.
"Good... Now get your ANBU clothes on. I'm going to call Kakashi-Sensei inside to discuss this..." Ino said and Sakura began to get dress in her new ANBU uniform that had been laying on a table.
~oOo~
Kakashi leand on the cold stone wall right outside of the room 1.0-13. He looked up to the ceiling and sighed.
`Why is this taken so long? It's just an ordinary examining... Well, Ino is Sakuras friend, so they are probably just talking about girl stuff... Oh, that's remind me of something...´
Kakashi closed his eye and putted his head to the wall.
"...Don't move..."
Kakashi glanced at the person behind him and he sighed.
"I didn't hear you... That's what is expected from Root I guess..." Kakashi said and felt how the tantou pressed closer to his throat.
"I will be the one who do all the talking here..."
Kakashi smiled under his mask and looked to the wall of the kitchen.
"Are you here to kill me... Sai...?"
"Not if I need to... I just came her to talk..." Sais voice said behind the silver haired Kakashi. "Or should I call it a warning..."
"A warning...?" Kakashi repeated and felt how Sais grip on the tantou hardned.
"Aaa... Stay away from Sakura..." Sai said with a cold tone.
"Excuse me...?" Kakashi said.
"Stay away from Sakura... You have hurt her more then necessary..." Sai told Kakashi who looked at the wall a bit confused.
"Sakura is my student and now I have the responsibility over her ANBU training..." Kakashi told Sai. "How can I not stay away from her..."
"That can be change, you know..." Sai said with his emotionless voice and Kakashi glanced back to Sai of the corner of his eye.
"You are threaten me... Why, if I may ask..." Kakashi said and the tantou was still on his throat.
"Of the very same reason why I'm here...You abused a young woman that you even hurted..." Sai said.
"Is that woman a sister of yours...?"
"She could be, but she is not... But that doesn't mean that I don't see her as a sister..." Sai said and his voice was a bit less colder when he talked about this woman.
"This woman is Sakura, right..." Kakashi said and Sai bored his black eyes in the back of Kakashis head. "And just so you know... You lower your guard..."
The Kakashi in the chair disappeared and Sai felt how a Kunai pointed to his back.
"Now tell me what's going on... I have had a hell of a morning and I will not hesitate to force it out of you..." Kakashi growled to Sai who lowered his tantou.
"Fine..." Sai said camly. "Sakura told me about the state she is in and I know that you also know that... When she told me that you had left her just because she told you that she was pregnant, I got really... pissed I think Naruto called it, and she told me that she didn't think that she could forgive you anymore... How could you just leave her?"
"I'm not proud of the way I left her... I don't care of her forgivness anymore. All I care for is that she is okay and that is all I'm asking for..." Kakashi said and Sai didn't respond. "I didn't really meant to leave her, I was just shocked and confused. But I have already told her what she wanted to hear... and as long as she is happy I don't care whatever she keep it or not..."
"So you believe that Sakura will be happy with a child that she will be forced to take care of all by herself...?" Sai said and turned his head slightly towards Kakashi.
Silens hit the little kitchen and Kakashi was the one who broke it.
"Aaa, I do..."
"Then I guess she told you who the father is..." Sai said and saw how Kakashi stiffen just a bit. "Or maybe not... But she told me... She told me about her little encounter with a certain Jounin..."
"Wha-What do you mean...?" Kakashi asked and looked at Sai with a hidden shock.
"That means exactly what I said a little while ago... You fucked her and didn't think of the consequence..." Sai mumbled to Kakashi who almost dropped the Kunai to the floor. "If you really care for her happiness you should ask her to get rid of it... You know as well as I do what her state means to Konoha and I doubt she will be happy when she hears about it..."
Kakashi looked away from Sai.
"Do you believe this is easy...? Do you believe she will get rid of it just because some stupid law...?" Kakashi said to Sai.
"No I don't..." Sai answered honestly. "But what choice does she have? Well, you could tell them, but it wouldn't matter to them. Sakura is the one who got pregnant, so they are going to blame her for it... "
"I know what you are asking of me... But my answer will be no..." Kakashi told Sai. "I don't want to force her to do something that she doesn't want... Sakura won't be happy with that... she would rather kill herself..."
"I guess I would too if my Sensei fucked me..." Sai said and Kakashi frowned and grabbed Sai in the collar.
"Fuck off!" Kakashi growled and dragged Sai to the front door. "And if you even breath about this or about Sakuras state to anyone, I will hunt you down and do so you never can have any child of your own..."
Kakashi couldn't tell if Sai was shocked or what ever emotional he felt, he only gave Kakashi a vacant look before he gave him one of his fake smiles.
"Now I understand what the others mean, when they told me that you could be fearsome..." Sai said and Kakashis eye narrowed.
"Just get out off my sight!" Kakashi barked and pushed Sai out through the door and slammed it in front of Sai. "One day, I will use that boy to target practise... Now I really need that aspirin..."
Kakashi sighed. He knew Sai was right, somehow he couldn't accept that fact. Not yet at least. Even how hard Kakashi wanted to believe that all just had been a really bad dream and he would soon wake up from it, but all in the end was just to real for just being a dream. He know that he had slept with Sakura, twice and now she was pregnant with a child that would grew up not knowing who its father was.
`Well better that, then no father at all... Or maybe it would be the same...? I would rather hear that my father ran away from my loving mother, I guess...´
Suddenly the door swung open, almost hitting Kakashi.
"You can enter now if you want..." Ino said and Kakashi looked at her. "I haven't told her any weird stuff, if you are worried about that..."
"Why should I... Sakura is a smart girl..." Kakashi said simply and Ino frowned.
"That almost sounded that you find me as an idiot..." Ino muttred and Kakashi suppress a chuckle. "Just hurry in will you!"
Kakashi hurried in and he almost stopped in the doorway, trying hard to not ogling his pink haired 'student', but he couldn't help to let his jaw drop a bit.
In front of him Sakura was adjusting the chest armor and Kakashi cursed himself for just have thinking that his 'student' looked even sexier in the ANBU gear. He didn't really know what to do anymore.
"Kakashi-Sensei, I need to talk to you about something..." Ino began, but got no respond from the silver haired man beside her. "Kakashi-Sensei!"
"What?" Kakashi said a bit confused and looked from Sakura to Ino.
"I need to talk to you about something..." Ino told him again.
"Okay, go one then..." Kakashi said.
"I know that you knew the rules regarding ANBU, but I'm about to break them. Therefor you need to know why..." Ino said and Kakashi gave her a look saying'and'. "Sakura is pregnant..."
Kakashi looked at Ino once more and Sakura gave him a look and waved slightly with her hand to tell him that he should look surprised.
"Oh... Oh!" he then burst out and smacked his forehead with his palm. "Is Sakura pregnant? How on earth did that happen?" Kakashi said that more to Ino then to Sakura.
"Don't ask me! She is your student!" Ino told him. "And I don't think I need a talk about the birds and the bees with you..."
"Fair enough..." he mumbled. "But I don't understand why you are telling me this..."
"You need to know! You can't let her do things like require her to strain her body to much. That's means, no punching to the stomach, no heavy labours and absolutely no deardevil things! Is that clear!" Ino said and glanced at Kakashi.
"Hai,Hai... I will take care of her..." Kakashi said a bit lazily and looked at Sakura, who looked at her new Katana on the table.
"And you must make sure that she eats when she is hungry and comfort her when she is sad... and if she gets angry over nothing, it's just her hormones, it's totally normal. But if she gets angry you can't act like a hormone freak yourself, she needs your understanding in that case..." Ino babbled on to Kakashi who simply nodded his head, not knowing what Ino really talked about.
"Why are you telling him this things? It's not like I'm going to spend all my waking hours with him..." Sakura said to Ino.
"He needs to know... It wouldn't be nice to let him walk out here and you suddenly began to act all violent and then have a break down that you look fat... And it would be easier on your missions as well..."
"I'm not fat...!" Sakura growled. "And what do you mean with our missions...?"
"New ANBU members are going on missions with their 'Sensei', until they are not a greenhorn anymore..." Kakashi told Sakura and he could she her annoyed face. "If you don't screw up to much, you will be rid of me much quicker..."
"I will never be rid of you..." Sakura mumbled to him and he smirked under his mask.
"Are you ready for the tattoo?" Kakashi asked her and she glanced at him. "I take that as a 'Yes'... Thank you Ino-Chan..."
Kakashi turned on his heals, with amused smile on his lips and walked passt Ino who just looked at him. Sakura followed and patted Inos shoulder on her way out.
"He is probably still drunk... " Sakura said before she walked out of the room and followed Kakashi.
"Still drunk...?" Ino mumbled and walked to the table and looked at the health form. She flipped the pen between her fingers before she sign that she hadn't find any illness that would prevent her mental or physique ability.
But just that little thing would make Ino sleep bad at nights. She knew that she was supposed to tell the Hokage if a Kunoichi would get pregnant, so they could be put to less missions or easier one. Ino had told Naruto about her pregnacy and Naruto had told her that she could take missions that suited her or began to work at the hospital to tend the ANBU that would be coming home from their missions. Ino had gladly accept that offer.
But that big thing that bothered Ino most was, how on earth Sakura had become pregnant and who the father to her child was. What Ino had understand from Sakura, was that Sakura hadn't have sex with that man she had seduced. That only left one oppertunity open. Kakashi, Sensei to Inos friend with the big forehead.
Ino had noticed that they had began to spend more time together after the mission in ChimaChima. To much time together actually. But Sakura was (what Ino knew) still angry with him and Sakura wouldn't even let her pervert to Sensei touch her in that way. But now when Sakura was pregnant, Ino began to question that. But it was still to vague for Ino to think in that way she did. Why would someone even want to sleep with her or his Sensei? She sighed.
"I guess I got to figur this out by myself then..."
~oOo~
Sakura wipped away some sweat from her forehead and panted slightly.
She had never believed that she would be much tired faster now, when she was pregnant.
"Let's take a break..." Kakashi said when he saw Sakura almost collapse on to the ground.
She sighed happly and moved to the shade of the big oak trees and Kakashi joined her a moment later.
"Here... Have some water..." he said and offered her a little leather hip flask and she took it gratefully and poured the contents in her mouth.
"That feelt good..." she mumbled and gave the hip flask back to Kakashi, who putted it back somewhere in his ANBU uniform. "Why didn't you drink some?"
"I'm not thirsty..." he said.
"That's a lie... If it has something to do with you hidding your face, I will shove the hip flask down your throat..."
"Then it has nothing to do with my face... I'm not thirsty, that's all..." Kakashi told her and Sakura find it was no idea to push it. "So, how's your little bun in the oven? Is he all right?"
"Who said that it was a he? It could be a girl as well... The bun is fine..." Sakura told him a bit annoyed. "I hope that they don't think poorly of me, if they found this out..."
"Why would they? I mean, this is something that just happened... The only thing I know, is that they will support you in this and kick the ass of everyone else that is against it..." Kakashi told her.
"Are you against it?"
"Against what?"
"Against that I got pregnant..." Sakura told him.
"Oh... Well, I think you should find yourself a decent man, get married and then after that have a kid or maybe two..." Kakashi said and pinched the bridge of his nose. Sakura looked away from him with a troubled look on her face. "But our Shinobi life is to short some times and it wouldn't be fair to take this gift away from you..."
Sakura was about to open her mouth again.
"Are you hungry? Didn't Ino say something about pregnant womans eating like men...?" Kakashi said and stood up and Sakura looked up to him.
"Um... Maybe I'm a little hungry" Sakura admitted. She felt a bit ashamed of telling him that she was starving to death. "And I don't recall her saying anything about pregnant womans eating like men..."
"Come on then... I will pay for it..." Kakashi said and offered his hand to pull her up from the grass. She took it with a bit of hesitation. "Ramen or something else...?"
"Something else, please..." Sakura said and smiled just a bit.
"Then it will be something else..." Kakashi took his arm around her waist and began to walk away from the training ground with her by his side. Sakura couldn't help to blush slightly.
They came closer to the centre of the village and Kakashi let go of his arm around her waist and told her to follow him. She did as she was told.
Kakashi stopped in a narrow ally and looked at Sakura behind his ANBU mask.
"What do you want to eat...?" Kakashi asked her and she looked at him.
"What do you mean? Shouldn't we walk in and look at the menu?" Sakura said and raised her eyebrows behind her ANBU mask.
"Dressed like this...? You can't be serious..." Kakashi said and dragged his hand through his hair. "Well, if you want to scare the others in that restaurant, be my guest..."
"Fine... Choose what ever you like..." Sakura growled, but her stomach growled even more and she earned a stifled chuckle from Kakashi before he disappeared through the back door of the restaurant. "I will kill him one day..."
Ten minutes later, Kakashi appeared again with a bag of something that had a quite nice smell (even if Sakura was feeling the illness taking over her again).
"Let's eat..."
"Finally...!" Sakura said and looked at him. "Um... Should we eat at the training ground or maybe at your place...?"
Kakashi looked a bit surprised, but he struggled his shoulder in a way to tell her that he didn't really care where they ate.
"Then we can take our food to your place..." Sakura then said and she could tell that he looked at her.
"Is that a date...?" Kakashi asked in a teasing way and she blushed again.
"N-No... Not really... You could see it more like friends having dinner together..." Sakura told him. "Doesn't sound that bad..."
"No, it doesn't..." he mused. "But next time we will be at your place..."
"Hai Hai... I'm hungry... Let's hurry..." Sakura said and they began to 'walk' to Kakashis apartment.
Kakashi unlocked the door to his apartment and they walked in. Taking of their ANBU sandals, porcelain masks and the chest armor, before they walked in to the kitchen and took out the food boxes from the bag and placed it on the table.
Sakura sat herself down to one of the chairs and opened one of the boxes and looked down to the food in it.
"What is that...?" she asked him.
"It's sliced grilled aubergine in miso..." he told her and she looked at him. "You said I could pick what ever I wanted..."
"Well I did... But I thought you still know what I liked and not liked..." Sakura told him. "Not what you liked..."
"If you don't want proper food, we could have stopped at a candy shop instead..." Kakashi said and dragged his mask down from his face. Sakura didn't say anything, she just glared at his face and he looked at her. "Is something wrong? Or have the cat got your tongue...?"
"No-Nothing is wrong..." she said and flushed a bit.
"Then eat... It doesn't harm to try something different..." Kakashi said and picked up the chopsticks from the table. Sakura did the same. "Well then, Itadakimasu*..."
Sakura looked down to her meal (she had rather want some umeboshi*, then this). She poked the aubergine slice with her chopesticks, picked it up and then she putted it in to his mouth. She chewed it slowly and then she stopped to chew.
Kakashi looked at her with a bit of amusement. She had that look on her face like she didn't know if she wanted to puke or swallow it.
"This-This is really good!" Sakura suddenly said and swallow it and picked up one more. "Why haven't you told me about this earlier...?"
"Firstly, because someone did never ask and secondly, that someone only wanted to go to the Dango Shops..." Kakashi said and took another pice of aubergine with his chopsticks. "That someone is you, Amatou*-Chan..."
Sakura looked at him and she began to smile. A true smile and then she began to laugh.
"What's so funny...?" he asked a bit stunned by her suddenly laughter.
"That nickname... You haven't used that nickname since I was a Genin..." she said and remembered fondly that day. "It's just make me think of better days in the past..."
Kakashis gaze on her softened and he smiled back to her.
He had almost forgot that rainy day two days before the main event of the Chuunin Exam.
He was walking home in the rain after have training Sasuke and he felt like he wanted to walk through the park before visiting the K.I.A stone. It was then he saw someone sitting on a bench under a big cherry tree. It was a girl and she had bubble gum pink hair and she had hide her face in her hands. He stopped.
"Sakura...?" he called and the girl under the cherry tree took away her hands from her face and looked up to the silver haired man in front of her.
"Kakashi-Sensei..." she mumbled and tried to hide her damp cheeks, by pushing her chin down to her chest.
"Is something wrong...?" he asked her almost in a indifferent tone.
"No... Nothing at all..." she said, still looking down to her lap.
Kakashi sighed. He knew that Sakura was to easy to read and that was something she would have to work with. Even if she had grown more then he had expected her to do, she was still young and hadn't a heart of steel. Sakura still had a long way to go to become like Naruto and Sasuke, in stenght that is.
"You can't fool your Sensei, Sakura... I can see something is wrong..." Kakashi told her and she looked up to him with her big emerald eyes, that still was glancing with tears. She looked so small and vulnerable, when she looked at him like that. It made him feel like he needed to comfort this girl. He had never felt like this before, not even to his long lost friend Rin.
He bagan to walk closer to Sakura who still was sitting on the bench and he sat down beside her.
"Something you want to share with your dear Sensei...?" he asked and Sakura began to blush slightly.
"You don't want to hear stupid girl thoughts, Sensei..." she mumbled. "And doesn't you have training to do with Sasuke-Kun..."
"I gave him the rest of the day off, due to the raining... So I can spend the rest of the day to listning to some 'stupid' girl thoughts..." Kakashi said and smiled down to Sakura under his mask. "Do you want something to eat...?"
"Im-I'm on a diet..." she mumbled and raised from the bench. "Excuse me..."
She turned around and began to walk away from him, but Kakashi was fast on his feets and grabbed her upper arm softly.
"I insist..." he said and he could hear her sigh in surrender. "Good... Where do you want to eat...?"
Kakashi walked in to the Dango Shop followed by a damp Sakura, who tried to pull the water out of her hair. Kakashi sat down beside a table in a corner and Sakura sat opposite of him.
What is it with womens and sweets, Kakashi mused after Sakura had ordred a plate of Dangos.
"So, what's troubling you...?" Kakashi asked and looked at the girl in front of him.
"I-I'm just worried for Sasuke-Kun..." Sakura mumbled and then her plate with Dangos appeared in fornt of her and she thanked the waistess.
"You are worried for Sasuke..." Kakashi said and saw how Sakura nodded at him. "You don't have to be... I took care of that 'thing', it won't activate..."
Sakura glanced at her Sensei and putted the empty Dango stick down to the plate and she began to shiver slightly.
"Sakura... I don't know what you saw back there in the forest, but I can promise you that he will be okay and he won't harm anyone..." Kakashi said and took off his Chuunin vest and gave it to Sakura. "Take this on you... You don't want to catch a cold..."
Sakura took his Chuunin vest and pulled it over her shoulders. It felt much warmer now then it had done before and she felt how a blush was beginning to creep up to her cheeks.
"Arigatou*..." Sakura mumbled and putted another Dango stick down to the plate.
Kakashi watch her eating more Dangos that probably would made Anko proud and he raised his eyebrow at her.
"You do really like sweets, Sakura..." Kakashi said. "Maybe I should began to call you Amatou-Chan instead..."
Sakura looked surprised at him and a smile find her lips and Kakashi felt the heavy thing in his chest go away little by little.
"Did you just give me a nickname...?" Sakura said and saw how Kakashi raised up from the bench.
"Mayby I did..." he said and crinkled his eye to her. "See you another day, Sakura..."
"But-But your vest..."
"Keep it until the next time we see each other... Jaane*..." Kakashi said and he began to walk out.
"Sensei..."
"Sensei..!"
"Sensei!"
Kakashi looked up to the pink haired woman opposite him and she looked a bit worried.
"I talked to you, but you didn't answer me..." Sakura told him.
"Gomen... I must have spaced out a bit..."
"You have done that a lot of times now... Are you feeling alright...?"
"I'm okay... What was it you wanted to ask me...?"
"Oh... Well, do you... Do you some times wish you could turn back time...?" Sakura asked him and he looked surprised at her.
"What kind of questions is that...?" he said.
"Just answer... Do you...?"
It became quiet.
"Always..." he finally told her. "I have to many regrets and if it was possibly, I would turn back time to change every thing that I did wrong..."
Kakashi bent down his head and looked down to the table and Sakura looked at him with a bit of sadness in her eyes.
"Do you... Do you wish to change this too...?" Sakura finally asked with a thick voice and placed her hand to her abdomen. Kakashi didn't look up to her.
"Aaa... If it was my fault, that you ended up like this... I would want to change that too..." he mumbled to her and he could hear the chopsticks she had hold between her fingers fall to the table with a clatter. "Suman*..."
"It's not to late for that..." she mumbled and Kakashi was finally able to look at her. "I can make it disappear..."
Her face was stony, but he could tell that she was about to cry. Her eyes gave her away, like those lovely emerald eyes of hers always had done.
Kakashi gave Sakura a sad glance and looked away from her again. He couldn't stand to she her sad in this kind of way and all he really wanted to do right now, was to go to sleep and never wake up again. Never.
The door closed and Kakashi find himself sitting alone in the kitchen and he smacked the head in to the table.
"Kuso*..." he growled. He didn't know if he should fallow her or just let her go.
But his heart told him to go after her. Sakura was after all Sakura and what he knew about her, she had a tendency to do stupid thing when she was angry or sad. And Kakashi knew that this was likely a moment when she would do something utter stupid and maybe a thing she would regret for the rest of her life.
And so would he.
Author note:
United and then downhill again. What will Kakashi do now, when he probably have messed things up again and now when Sakura finally have made up her mind. But will it be a good decision?
It may contain some spelling errors...
