Chapter 3: Win Some Lose Some

The sky was a crystal blue, and there was only a slight wind that twisted a few strands of her short pink hair around her face. It was now Sunday, three days from that fateful night and it was now noon. She stood alone in the clearing that team 7 had used for training all those many years ago.

She wasn't expecting the silver haired ninja anytime soon so she began to stretch and go through her usual warm up routine. When she had finished she sat on the ground and meditated patiently waiting. Suddenly, she felt a presence, but oddly no chakra. She knew he had come and her senses told her where he was. Without even cracking an eye open, she addressed him.

“Kakashi, I see you've found your favorite tree limb.”

She heard him drop down onto the ground to her right and she stood to face him.

“Yo.”

His raised his hand in greeting and then she watched him shove his hand back into his pocket.

“Ok, straight spar or are you going to torture me with those bells?”

She knew the man at least well enough to know that he liked to get straight to the point. She couldn't help but wonder if he was going to use his sharingan eye on her.

“No bells this time. Straight spar, and don't hold anything back.”

She watched him lift up his Konoha headband to reveal his secret weapon.

`Guess that answers my question…'

She inwardly berated herself. Even though this was just a spar, she knew he was serious. It was the only way to truly gauge her skills and she knew it. To go easy on her at this point in time would only be an insult. If she was ready for ANBU then she would be able to take it.

`Just remember what Lee said…look at his feet…gauge his next moves from there…'

She trusted Lee's advice. His sensei was Kakashi's eternal rival. Sakura figured who would know better than Gai? Her eyes flicked to Kakashi's feet and she drew in a deep breath. She calculated quickly in her head.

`Keep new move for last…need to conserve chakra for it…gotta use kunai and smoke bombs instead of too many jutsus…keep distance till opening…look at his feet..'

She swiftly pulled a smoke bomb from one of her many vest pockets and threw it to the ground between them. In a cloud of purple smoke she jumped to safety among the trees. She watched him from her hiding place. He was just standing there slouching, looking up at the sky. Then his left hand moved and went to his kunai pouch. She silently pulled out her own never taking her eyes off his feet.

Three kunai sailed in her direction. One aimed for her thigh, the other two for her chest and head. She deflected all three with her own weapon. A fist struck out from behind her and she dropped to the ground intent on taking out his legs. He was too fast for her.

He jumped back forming seals and he disappeared. In the next second gloved hands reached out from below the ground toward her ankles. She back flipped several times until she was once again in the clearing where they had started.

She was the one out in the open now and so with a kunai raised she waited. Eyes scanned the area as she slowly turned in a circle. He was masking his chakra, but she knew he was watching her.

Suddenly more kunai was thrown at her from her right, followed closely by Kakashi. With deft movements she parried the weapons and heard them hit the ground around her as she moved her foot back getting ready for the close encounter with the silver haired ninja.

With her eyes locked on his feet, her forearms and legs moved to block his hits. She knew by the force of his blows that each one would leave a nice reminder later. His last hit went straight over her arm and right into her chest, hard. Even as her body was forced back a few yards she was already creating seals and when her sandaled feet stopped sliding her voice rang out and her palm hit the ground.

“Unaza no jutsu!”

The grass around Kakashi's feet grew rapidly and wrapped around both of his legs. She took his brief moment of surprise to throw shuriken at his still body. As the shuriken hit, there was a loud `poof' and instead of Kakashi there was a log.

`Damn him! Ok…ok… calm down.'

“Fireball no jutsu!”

“Earth wall no jutsu!”

A shield of dirt rose up to block the flames that bellowed from Kakashi's mouth.

`Sasuke's signature move…'

Out of the corner of her eye she saw a tree branch move and she threw four shuriken into the tree's foliage. She heard a sickening gurgle and then watched in horror as Kakashi's body hit the hard ground, stomach first. His head was turned to the side with blood slowly soaking his mask, a shuriken embedded deep into the side of his cloth covered neck.

“S-ak-k-ur-a…” He reached a shaky gloved hand out to her as the other covered the weapon in his neck.

`Nice try, Kakashi.'

She quickly dispelled the genjutsu with a smirk. She burst into a cloud of pink petals and reappeared behind her silver haired nemesis that was hiding behind a tree. She held her kunai threateningly, digging the tip slightly into his lower back. He spun and knocked it out of her hand with the metal piece on his gloved hand.

Once again she found herself defending off a flurry of punches and kicks. She had managed to get in one good punch to his liver thankfully, but it did nothing to slow him down. If anything, the missed block just pissed him off and spurred him on.

Sakura grit her teeth.

`I did not spend all that time with Lee-san for nothing damn it!'

She received a swift punch that missed her shoulder and almost dislocated her jaw. Her eyes started to water from the impact, but her anger soon pushed away all thoughts of pain. Sakura wasn't one to worry about vanity anymore, but no kunoichi liked taking one in the face. Even if he hadn't meant to, she was going to make him pay.

As she blocked his next kick she channeled a fair amount of chakra into the bottom of her feet. She dropped to the ground in a crouch to avoid another series of punches. From her position she kicked up with as much strength as she could muster, her foot solidly connected with the bottom of his chin.

Kakashi hadn't been expecting her move. Her taijutsu had been her worst subject before, even with the Hokage's training, but the last time Kakashi had sparred with Sakura had been years. He went flying up into the air and again Sakura used the chakra in her feet and jumped up from the ground.

She saw his eye widen slightly as he saw the fire in her eyes and could only guess her next move. Sakura brought her leg up and then slammed her heel down into his stomach sending him careening back down to meet the earth. She landed gracefully on her feet as chunks of earth and grass went flying behind her from his impact.

Then, she watched in angry horror as his body went `poof' and a splintered log appeared. She didn't have another second to think as his hands grasped her arms roughly from behind. Kakashi slide his leg between hers and used his weight to push her face first into the ground.

Sakura spat out grass and dirt from her mouth as she felt his knee push painfully into her back. Many years ago this would have been the end of their sparring session, but things had changed and she was no longer that weak little girl. He pulled her arms tighter behind her and leaned forward as he whispered into her ear.

“I think we're done here.”

Noticing his mistake, she sent swirling chakra to both hands and painfully bent them back to grab a hold of the arms holding her own. She held on as she sent two large bursts of chakra into the muscles in his arms.

“I don't think so.” She felt his hands suddenly fall away.

“Shit.” The curse wasn't said in his normal calm way, and she had never heard her old sensei curse at all while sparring. That small accomplishment alone made her extremely proud and rather giddy.

Kakashi watched as the body bellow him burst into a shower of cherry blossom petals and he stumbled to his feet. At this point he had absolutely no movement out of his arms. The numbing strangeness was rather unsettling.

`She could probably stick a couple senbon through them and I wouldn't feel it. What the hell did she do to me?'

Sakura stood a few yards away from him. She was so proud of her self that she couldn't help giving him her biggest smile.

Then her smile faltered.

`I'm an idiot…'

The whirl of three black dots encased in a sea of red happened to be the last thing she saw. Sakura's body crumpled to the ground unconscious.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

“Shinobi rule #2: never let your guard down.”

Sakura was not in the mood for his wise words of wisdom. Her face was yet again in the dirt, her head was killing her, and something was crushing her back. She turned her head to the other side to see his wrapped legs and sandaled feet.

`He's sitting on me! That sorry bastard!'

“Kakashi, you're not as light as you might think. How about getting off?”

She felt his weight move off her and she dejectedly move to sit up with her legs stretched out in front of her. Sakura rubbed her aching head and sore jaw. Kakashi sat down next to her in the same fashion but facing the other way. He turned his head to face her and she noticed his headband was now covering his scarred eye and she was thankful. His dark eye roved over her and she felt somewhat uncomfortable under his scrutiny.

`I'm not bleeding anywhere jackass…gah! I can't believe I lost!'

“So, oh wise one, what do I need to work on?”

“To tell you the truth Sakura, I'm somewhat impressed.”

This got her attention alright. Her head snapped from looking at the trees in front of her to his mask covered face beside her. Praise from Kakashi was almost as valuable as gold. Sakura's faced twitched comically as she fought to suppress the toothy smile that wanted to come out. Kakashi watched the struggle and inwardly chuckled at the pink haired young woman.

`It's nice to know that even through the years that little girl is still in there somewhere.'

“Genjutsu was always your strong point so I expected you to see through my ruse. You didn't delve too much into nenjutsu, but with my sharingan I can understand why. Well, that and I'm guessing you were saving your chakra for your little surprise. Your taijutsu has improved, but you could still go further.” Sakura nodded her head in a response.

“I do have some questions. First, these will return to normal, neh or can you reverse it?” His eye looked down to his limbs hanging limply by his sides.

“Oh that? It'll go away in a few hours…” Heat rose to her cheeks as she watched his exposed eye widen, but then she tenderly touched her jaw and the guilt was gone.

“Well, I had no other option to make you let go. I don't usually use that much chakra in a single burst so the usual half-an-hour wait could be hours from now.” She watched him drop his head and sigh in defeat.

“Did the Hokage teach you this?”

“No, I researched Kabuto's technique and adapted it to better suit me.”

`She came up with this on her own? She has grown.'

“Last question, I noticed you kept your eyes on my feet during the fight, well until the end that is. Have you been training with Gai's protégé?” She couldn't help but smirk at him.

“Actually I have. I know that taijutsu is my weakest skill so Lee-san has been helping me, but I guess I still have a long way to go, huh, Kakashi?” She didn't want him to think she couldn't take constructive criticism well, so she gave him a bright smile.

“About your recommendation…” She already knew where he was going with this. She had truly shamed herself by letting the moment go to her head and she had made that fatal mistake. That alone probably showed him that she wasn't ready.

“It's ok, Kakashi. I'll just train harder with Lee-san and Shizune-sama, just because you don't think I'm ready now doesn't mean I can't change your mind later, right?”

`Sakura Haruno has grown emotionally; I never would have believed it…'

“Actually Sakura, I was going to say that I'm going to submit your name.”

“Are you serious? That's great! Thank you so much Kakashi!” She promptly threw herself against the helpless shinobi.

`Then again I could be wrong…'

Kakashi just sat there feeling rather awkward as he felt the air being squeezed from him. He couldn't even push the excited girl away since she had taken away the use of his arms.

“S-Sak-ura!” She backed away from him as if she had been burned.

`Shit, Kakashi doesn't like his personal space being invaded. Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!'

“U-uh, S-sorry Kakashi. Here let me help you up.” She grabbed a limp arm and pulled him to his feet and then quickly let him go. She was just glad she hadn't pulled his arm from its socket in the process.

“Ah, ha-ha-ha! Sorry about that.” She nervously scratched the back of her sweat dampened hair.

“It's quit alright Sakura.” Then he sighed heavily.

“What's wrong Kakashi?” He sighed again.

“I was looking forward to getting something to eat, but now…” He looked down at his traitorous arms.

“Sorry.” She heard his stomach gurgle loudly and felt guilty as hell.

“Well, shall we head back then?” He would usually `poof' right about now, but since she had taken his ability to form seals away, he was stuck walking. She felt her earlier euphoria returning.

“Sure.” She set about gathering their weapons that was left strewn about while pressing a healing hand to her jaw.

`Hmph, his cuts and bruises can heal by themselves since I lost. Cha!' Inner Sakura cackled.

“May I call in a favor since my condition is your fault entirely?” Sakura halted in mid reach for the shuriken in front of her.

`A favor for the proud Copy Ninja, but that man would rather chew his own arm off than ask for help…'

“Um, sure, I guess.” All kinds of ideas ran through her head and even some that scared her.

“On the way back, keep an eye out for Gai.” His voice was all seriousness.

“Ok…but why?”

“With my current condition, he would undoubtedly challenge me…it would just be… too troublesome…” Sakura shoved her fist into her mouth to stop her laughter as she bent over to pick up the last stray kunai out of the bushes.

“Don't worry, I'll do it. Did you want me to walk you home too?” She was smirking at him now. His eye narrowed dangerously and the smirk fell from her face. Kakashi's evil glare had sent better ninja then herself running…like Genma and Naruto for starters…

She started walking down the dirt path leading to town and soon she felt him fall into step beside her. They walked in comfortable silence down the main street of the village for a short time before she decided to voice what had been swimming around in her head.

“You know, it's funny how Naruto and I have known you for so long and still don't really know anything about you. Well, except that you like reading those books of yours.”

`And that you visit the monument religiously...'

Kakashi turned to regard her as they walked leisurely through the crowded street. It was true. He had never felt a need to discuss personal things with them before. They were always those naïve little kids he used to teach, but his opinion of Naruto over the years had changed somewhat. He was still loudmouthed, but he had grown as well.

He was well on his way to becoming the next Hokage, if he could keep his anger in check. Kakashi mused the poor guy had come a long way. They didn't give out Captain Status to just any one. The silver haired ninja was well aware of that fact.

Kakashi knew that the younger ninja could fully pull out a small can of whoop ass on him now, but that was a fact he would rather die than to admit. Today Sakura had proven just how much she had grown as well. She hadn't burst into tears over her loss and with her new found skills she could do some serious damage.

`She caught my sorry ass off guard…I must be getting old.'

Sakura was almost as tall as him now, with a lean toned frame and more pronounced features, and her eyes no longer held that bit of naivety. She had loved and lost like the rest of them now and her own hands had been soaked in blood. Looking at her now, as if for the first time, he noticed that she was actually kind of pretty.

Kakashi never did understand Genma's attraction to Sakura and even felt it kind of perverse in a way since he had known her since she was twelve. Now, he had to admit though, she was no longer that twelve year old little girl who used Naruto as a crutch. She no longer looked fit to burst into tears if he looked at her the wrong way.

`Hell…she's turn into one stubborn woman from what I hear from Genma and Naruto.'

`They're no longer those bratty little kids. Maybe I should be treating them with more respect; we have been equals for quite some time after all. Hell, we could even end up being good friends. God knows a few more wouldn't hurt. They haven't been my little soldiers now for years.'

“Hm, maybe you should follow me home just incase.”

`There, the olive branch has been extended and now I can ensure my safe passage home.'

Sakura was so shocked that her feet stopped moving. She hadn't expected him to say that at all. She had expected him to change the subject or even keep silent, but not this. She watched him keep walking with her mouth hanging slightly open and her eyes wide. Sakura shook her head to clear her thoughts and quickly caught up with him. She found herself stuffing her hands into her pockets as she recovered her senses.

“Hmmm, seems my arms are starting to tingle. I take it this is a good sign?” She turned to him and smiled.

“Yes. It's the beginning signs of recovery!” She struck a pose with a glimmering smile and a thumb's up. Kakashi's droopy eye rolled.

“Yes, I can definitely tell you have been hanging around Gai's student.” Sakura hit his arm a little too hard, but she didn't feel too bad since he couldn't actually feel it.

“Lee-san is a very good person I'll have you know.”

“Yes well, he's a mini replica of his sensei. I'm sure he has a winning personality.” The sarcasm rolled off him in waves. Sakura fought down her laugh.

“Well, the good does out way the bad. I mean look at Naruto. He's loud, obnoxious, and annoying, but I wouldn't have him any other way…” Kakashi's eyebrow rose.

`She really has changed…'

“But if you ever tell him I said that….” Her voice was low and menacing.

`Maybe not so much…'

Once they had covered a few more blocks they were standing in front of his yellow apartment complex.

“Sakura, would you be so kind to open my door for me since well...” His eye indicated his obvious handicap.

“Oh, yeah, sure thing.”

“The key is in the third pocket from the top on the right side of my vest.” Sakura quickly unsnapped said pocket and withdrew his copper colored key.

Kakashi began climbing the side stairs up to the third floor and stopped in front of the yellow door with the number 113 on it. She looked at its cracked and splintered surface.

`Oh yeah, I forgot I did that…' She looked at him out of the corner of her eye.

`He doesn't suspect me does he?'

“Do you have anything planned for the evening Sakura?” She had no idea where he was going with this as his tone betrayed nothing but boredom.

`He's not inviting me in is he? No, that would never happen.' She shook her head in the negative.

“Good, I'm hungry and you owe me for the door. You can pay me back by making dinner.”

`What!' She paused with the key in her hand.

“Wait a minute here! How do you know it was me and please explain why I should cook for you even if it was!” His dark gaze saw right through her as usual.

“I didn't know, until just now and you do owe me for the door. I was going to bill you to have it fixed, but since we're here and it's your fault that I can't do it myself…” His voiced had that sharp edge to it. The very one that used to frighten her as a Genin.

She guessed she had wounded both his pride and his ego upon making him an invalid for a few hours. She had to admit she was hungry. She had been too anxious earlier to eat any lunch. Her stomach rumbled on queue. Her head dropped to her chest in defeat.

She wondered if he was mad about the damage to his door as she turned the key and resigned herself to her duties. She had to push really hard to get the door to budge and when it moved about five inches she heard the other side of the doorknob fall and hit the ground.

She laughed nervously as she swung the door open the rest of the way and moved aside. Once he moved passed her, her eyes bore a hole through the back of his head.

`What am I now, his maid? Wait, he better not have me clean his place or try to have me do his dirty laundry!'

Sakura heard the object of her thoughts grumble as he made his way over to his comfy looking bed.

“Your new ability is going to be the death of me…” She snorted from behind him as she watched Kakashi collapse face down on his shuriken printed covers.

`This is just too priceless. I'm never going to let him live this down!'

“And what are you going to do while I busy myself being your personal cook?”

`I could just leave him like this… but it is my fault after all. Damn my stupid conscience!'

“I was thinking about taking a nap actually. Anything you decide to make is fine. I trust you can find your way around my cupboards. Wake me when the foods ready would you?”

Sakura's shaking fists rose in front of her. Kakashi was a ninja and he knew what evil chakra felt like because he had encountered it many times before. He chose to ignore it this time and in no time flat he had begun drifting off to sleep with a smirk on his face.

“Fine, but if you ever tell anyone about this…” She went about rummaging in his cabinets while trying to stifle her anger. She would do it because she owed him one and begrudgingly she did respect him.

`But I'll be damned if I'll be happy while doing it! He better appreciate this!'

As she opened his little refrigerator unit she heard his sleepy response.

“Yeah, yeah, not a soul.”

She threw a measuring cup at him.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Sakura couldn't believe her luck. In staying to help out the sorry bastard, she had gotten the opportunity of a lifetime. She had finally removed his mask!

`Oh Naruto is so going to be jealous when I tell him!'

Granted, it had taken a very lengthy argument and threats of dismemberment on both sides but in the end his stomach had won out.

`I wonder why he insists on wearing that damn thing. I mean, it's not like he's missing his lower jaw, or has any hideous burns or scars. In fact his face is perfectly normal aside from the one eye. He's definitely not “paper bag” ugly and if he wasn't Kakashi I'd even consider him to be somewhat handsome.'

Sakura shivered and banished that thought into the very back of her mind.

`But he is Kakashi and that thought will never surface again…never…'

With the heated discussion of removing his mask he had obviously forgotten how he was going to eat his delicious looking meal. The realization looked like it had finally hit home. Sakura was finding the whole situation rather amusing.

`Oh no, I will never let him forget this…'

“Come on Kakashi, it's not that bad…”

“Sakura, you wouldn't be saying that if the tables were turned.”

“Oh, but they're not, so open up.”

“Do not treat me like a child Sakura…”

“Then stop acting like one.” They continued to glare at each other.

“Hey, you're the one who told me to cook dinner remember? I didn't go through all this trouble for nothing.” His eyes narrowed even further.

“Yes, but I was under the impression that I would have the use of my hands for this.”

“Well, so was I, but you don't so that's that!”

He opened his mouth to protest again and she swiftly shoved a piece of chicken in his mouth. He looked highly disgruntled and for a second there Sakura was afraid he might spit it out, but he seemed to change his mind and began to chew.

It had already been two hours since she had handicapped him. Feeling had started to come back to his limbs, but he was still too weak to hold his own chopsticks. She lifted another morsel to Kakashi's mouth and with a little grunt of displeasure he accepted the offering.

“I see you wore a mask when you were a Genin too.”

She was looking over to the picture he kept beside his copy of Team 7's. He looked…the same, except the eye of course. She wondered who the other two on his team were but was not about to ask. She figured she was pushing her luck as it is.

“…”

She fed him another chopstick full of dinner after his silence.

“Did you know that your favorite students used to set up little missions to try see what was under it?”

“You were my only students and yes I did know. I'm glad to see your skills have improved since then.”

Sakura suppressed the urge to gouge his good eye out with a chopstick, but then decided to extend some vegetables out for him to chew on.

“Yes well, Naruto once thought you might have thick lips or buckteeth even.”

Inner Sakura cackled menacingly while Kakashi choked on his food. She hastily patted his back until he regained himself. Then she brought his cup of tea to his lips.

“So, you really think I have what it takes to be ANBU then?”

“If I didn't, I wouldn't have agreed to recommend you.” Sakura sighed. She knew fishing for compliments never worked on Kakashi either.

“Yes, I suppose.” He inhaled the bit of rice she gave him.

“What made you decide this, if I may ask?” Sakura paused with a bit of chicken in the air to ponder her answer.

“Well, it's like I told Naruto, I'd rather be out there where most of the casualties happen. You know patch `em up before they have to be brought in. Besides, my medic talents aren't all healing as you well know.”

She looked back to find his eyes transfixed on the bit of chicken she had been waving around during her explanation. She laughed and finally offered it to him.

“Yes, I'm quite aware of that.”

The rest of his dinner was served in comfortable silence. Sakura had run out of safe conversation topics and the older ninja had forgone all attempts at talking for eating the rest of his dinner.

“Last bite, open wide!” Kakashi did not look amused in the least.

“Sakura…”

The emerald eyed woman pursed her lips.

“You're no fun….”

She watched him chew his last bit of food thoughtfully. Even though she had been forced into cooking for him she found the evening had turned out quite pleasant. She rather liked seeing her revered ex-sensei so vulnerable.

`…and its just icing on the cake that I was the one who made him this way…!'

“I tell you what; I'll clean up these dishes since you allowed me to feed you.” She began to rise and collect the dirty dishes from the table.

“Sakura you don't…”

“Kakashi if you say another word I swear…”

After losing two full arguments with the young woman he quickly gave in. Kakashi listened to her grumble about stubborn men behind him.

`Damn woman… I take it that at least Naruto hadn't been exaggerating like I had thought. '

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

“Well, it's about that time. How are your arms and hands?” Sakura put away the last dish and then turned around to find Kakashi lying on his bed reading the latest issue of Icha-Icha Violence.

“It looks like I'm back to my original 100 percent.” He marked his page in his book and then set it back in its spot by the window. He didn't catch Sakura shaking her head.

“Heading home now?”

“Yeah, I still have a few things to do around the house before I can even think about falling asleep.” She moved by the door and slipped her sandals back on with Kakashi coming up behind her.

“I guess I should thank you for dinner, but just remember if you tell anyone about having to …well…I do know where you live.” His mask was still off and the glare he sent her was even more pronounced. She suppressed the urge to run.

`Now I'm kind of thankful he wears the damn thing…'

“Don't forget I know where you live too.” She quirked an eyebrow at him.

“Don't make me regret that decision.” She scoffed.

“Your decision my ass! If I recall correctly we had to bribe a certain friend of yours just to get that little bit of info!” He put his hands up in defeat and swiftly changed the subject.

“I'm going into the HQ tomorrow, so I'll drop off your name then.” She quickly forgot her anger.

“Thank you so much again! I owe you one.” He shook his head at her quick change of mood.

“Just keep the events that transpired here our little secret and we'll be even.” She rolled her eyes at him and pursed her lips.

“You're going to learn to trust me one day, Kakashi.”

“I have learned to trust you Sakura. In battle yes, but this is another matter all together…” She threw a glare over her shoulder as she opened the door.

“Well, I guess I'll be seeing you…” She put a hand up signaling her good-bye as she walked toward the stairs.

“Good night Sakura.” With that, Kakashi closed the door and soon found himself once again lost amongst the pages of his precious book. A small smile graced his lips as he thought about the recent events.

`It was mostly against my will…but it hadn't been too bad I suppose…'
