A Twist in fate

Chapter two: Confession

The next morning Sakura awoke in a good mood after dreaming about her days with Kakashi in the old days. She got dressed with a smile on her face, when she walks outside to see Kakashi with his arm raised like he was getting ready to knock on the now opened door. He casually puts his hand behind his head and scratches his neck.

Sakura shakes her head making her pink hair fall around her face to obscure her blushed cheeks as she greets her old Sensei, "Hey Kashi, what are you doing here?"

Kakashi stares at her for a minute before finally answering her, "Oh! I was just coming over to see how you were doing in your newly fixed up home…"

Sakura smiled up at him, without giving it another thought she walked up to him and wrapped him in a hug, "Thank you so much Kakashi!"

He smiled softly at her and then tells her, "Hey, Sakura? Would you like to go to the hospital to see how Sasuke is doing?"

Suddenly she lost her excitement, yet she was slightly curious about what could have happened to him. She locked arms with Kakashi and nodes with a slight smile.

They had a very quiet walk, but the silence still seemed perfect since they were both submerged deeply in their own thoughts.

Sakura thinking, 'Is Kakashi really always going to be there for me when I need him…I wonder how does Kakashi really feel about me?'

Kakashi thinking about how this should play out, 'Okay…We go in, see how he is…while keeping his quiet…then we get out and I tell her…Right!'

When they arrive at the hospital Kakashi opens the door and lets her pass through first. They found his room fairly easily since he has an assigned room from his frequent visits.

They both took a breath before entering his room. Kakashi took ahold of her hand as he opens the door. Sasuke was sitting up in his bed staring out the window till two reflections walk into the room. He turns around to look at the two of them, his eyes became wide when he noticed their hands.

Ino Pig then entered the room walking between the two of them, breaking their hands apart from each other. Sakura cheeks flushed a little bit then returned their natural color as she stares at the floor. Sasuke, staring at the two of them while ignoring Ino completely.

Sasuke's attention goes solely to his former Sensei as he asks Kakashi, "Sensei did you really tell her?"

Ino being the nosey blond she is asks out of curiosity, "Tell who what? Did I miss something, what's going on?"

Kakashi glares intently at Sasuke as he replies, "No…Not yet!" Kakashi sweat dropped knowing now he really had to tell her soon.

Sasuke sighed and smirked out her, "Well you might want to tell her soon before someone else comes to take her from you again."

Sakura and Ino both ask in irritation at being kept in the dark, "Tell…Who…What?" Both girls are highly impatient.

Kakashi looks at Sakura in aggravation and anything but yells, "Tell you that I love you! Okay…You happy now!" Then he stomps out of the hospital leaving a start stuck and stunned Sakura behind.

Ino got up in her face and yells at her, "FORHEAD BROW! Don't just stand there like a deer caught in the headlights! Go after him!"

Then Sakura shook it off and took off running to catch up with him, she ran till her lungs would burst but then she pushed herself harder when she caught sight of him. She made herself run faster determined not to lose him. She tackled him when he was about to walk down the ramp and they both tumbled down and she landed on top of him.

When he saw she was okay he wrapped his arms around her pulling her closer to his chest, she just smiled at him. She tried to get up off of him but he pulls her back to him and rolls over on top of her, he pecks her on the cheek. He stands up and grabs her by the hand and pulls her back into his arms once more, he arms wrap around him as she reaches up and kisses him on the cheek through his mask. Kakashi pulls his mask down and deeply kisses her.

Naruto was walking by with the help of Hinata, Naruto stops dead in his tracks and stares wide eyed at his best friend and his former Sensei. Hinata apologizes for Naruto's behavior over and over again.
Kakashi reluctantly lets go of Sakura, still holding her hand. Sakura looks to Naruto and sees his leg all cut up, his arm covered in blood and his has a black eye.

Sakura asks, "What happened to you Naruto? You look like someone threw you in a blender or something."

Hinata answered for him, "My brother Neji really doesn't like him that much…Naruto was just giving me a hug and Neji kind of intervened a little bit."

Sakura ordered Hinata, "Put him down, I can fix him up myself…don't worry I trained under Lady Tsunade!"

Kakashi watched Sakura closely as she tried to save the life of her best friend…her life…her little brother. Naruto had always been there for her when she needed anything.

Sakura yells at Kakashi, "Put your hand on his leg with a lot of pressure, use this rag! Just don't break his leg okay!" She tore part of her shirt and handed him the make shift rag.

Kakashi did as she told him to and tried to help however he could. Hinata dapped her handkerchief on his face while Sakura bandaged his arm tightly. She told Kakashi to release his leg as she poured water in the wound that Hinata had brought for her. She then wound the bandage around his leg tightly and she was finished.

She smiled at Hinata and told her, "Now…Be careful walking him home, you will need to keep a close eye on him…you can't let him move around too much and you might have to feed him and change him maybe even give him sponge bathes, or you I can get a nurse to stop by and take care of him for you if you would like."

They both turn red and Kakashi and Sakura both start laughing. Naruto and Hinata both start off to his house.

Sakura grabs Kakashi by the hand and he just smiles as they both walk to her place. As he went to kiss her goodnight she frowned…she doesn't want him to leave.

The last thing he said to her was, "Were going to see your parents tomorrow morning…So rest well my Sakura Blossom." Then he just walked off.
