Results
For the second time that day Kakashi and Sakura were in the presence of the fifth Hokage, Tsunade. Tsunade sat behind her desk with her head in her hands as she tried to access the current situation. It was clear to anybody that Kakashi and Sakura cared for each other deeply and they were willing to do anything to stay together. Even if it meant that they would betray Konoha to be together then they would do it. Sighing in agitation, Tsunade lifted her head from her hands to look at the two shinobi.
"Your behavior is unforgivable and it cannot go unpunished..." Standing up from her desk Tsunade turned her back on Kakashi and Sakura as she looked out at the rooftops of Konoha.
"But I see that you will do anything to stay together...Therefore I am going to take this matter into consideration. Until then you will not be allowed to see each other unless given direct orders from me. As for the restraining orders I will override them unless something happens." Turning back around Tsunade watched the emotions cross their faces before continuing. "If I decide that you will not see each other again then you will do as if say, understood?" Seeing their nods of acquiesce Tsunade sat back down in her chair as she rubbed her temples where a headache was forming.
"You are dismissed," she waved impatiently before returning to a large stack of scrolls.
Kakashi and Sakura made their way out of the Hokage's building. They gave each other a loving glance before they departed separate ways to their own homes with numerous thoughts running through their minds.
Kakashi arrived at his apartment in a few minutes with the hope that everything would turn out all right. He didn't know how he would take the prospect of not being able to see Sakura for two days. To not be able to hold her in his arms or kiss her deeply to show her how much he loved her. To be surrounded by her sweet scent that was uniquely her own or to laugh at her antics. But then again what was two days? He had been away from her for up to five months so why would two days make any difference? Answering his own thoughts he figured that since he was in love with Sakura then it would be harder to separate.
He knew that a shinobi should not get attached to someone because of their profession, but it was still possible. Kakashi took off his sandals and gloves at his door before sauntering into the kitchen to find something to eat. Was it a bad thing that he loved his former student? No. A shinobi needed to live their life to it's fullest because it was no telling how long they would actually live.
Sighing, Kakashi opened his refrigerator to find it empty except for a carton of two day old milk. "I need to go shopping tomorrow," he said out loud to himself as he closed the fridge and opened the cabinets above his sink. He found numerous packs of ramen and decided that it would be better than nothing as he started preparing his simple supper.
As the ramen was cooking he wondered what should be the next step in his relationship with Sakura if the taboo problem worked out. Should they continue on in the relationship they already had or should they continue on into the next step? He wasn't sure if he was able to wait any longer before he moved onto the next step. Yes, the great Copy Ninja admitting that he did indeed have a weakness. After his ramen was done he sat down on his couch to eat in silence as he pushed the feel of Sakura's soft skin from his mind.
Later that night Kakashi lay back in his king-sized bed with his orange book in hand. After reading a few paragraphs he had to go back and reread them. His mind was too preoccupied with thoughts of Sakura that he didn't comprehend what he was reading. Seeing that he wouldn't get any sleep tonight he let his thoughts run rampant until he, around midnight fell into a deep sleep where he dreamed of his cherry blossom.
Sakura lay in bed thinking about the day's events. So much had happened in such a short period of time that her mind was befuddled. The most shocking part was when she had tried to leave the village. Never in her life had she thought about leaving the village and becoming a missing ninja. Except the time she offered to go with Sasuke in his revenge because her mind was clouded with love for the cold-hearted Uchiha.
She was grateful that Kakashi had come to stop her when he did or else she would have done something that she would later regret. Sighing in frustration Sakura turned over in her bed for the tenth time that night as thoughts of Kakashi resurfaced.
Would she be able to survive for two days without him? Or would she break the rules Tsunade set and seek him out? No. She would not do that because she would never get to see Kakashi again and she knew Tsunade always kept her word. Not seeing Kakashi for two days would be better than not seeing him forever. When she did see him again she wondered where they would take their relationship from where it already was.
It seemed to Sakura as if they were soul mates, meant for each other even though they were different, like night and day. Having exhausted her mind for the day and from the day's events Sakura was finally able to sleep as she dreamed of her beloved.

"Hey Sakura-chan!" a loud voice yelled over the dim of Sakura's sleep filled mind. After yawning loudly and stretching like a cat she slowly got up from her bed to open the door. She rubbed her eyes tiredly as she opened the door to find the number one hyperactive knucklehead ninja with a large smile on his face. How he could be so lively so early in the morning? She would never know.
"What is it Naruto?" she questioned as she invited Naruto in her apartment with a wave of her hand.
"I came to see how you were doing," Naruto responded joyfully as he took off his sandals and went into the kitchen.
"As you can see I am fine and what are you doing?" Sakura asked as she watched Naruto open her fridge and rummage around in her cabinets.
"Looking for something to eat."
"Don't you have your own food?"
"Yes but I was looking for something for you to eat," Naruto said with a toothy grin as he pulled out a few things from the fridge.
"I can take care of myself Naruto," Sakura said as she placed her hands on her hips.
"Aw, come on Sakura-chan. Can't I fix a friend some breakfast?" Naruto asked with a pout as he crossed his arms over his chest.
"The last time you tried to fix me breakfast you almost burned my apartment down!"
"Hehe, oh yeah, then maybe I shouldn't fix you anything," he said as he rested his arms atop his head.
"I appreciate the offer Naruto but I'm a grown woman now. I think I should be able to fix something as easy as breakfast, don't you?"
"Uh, of course Sakura-chan!"
"I know you didn't come here just to fix me breakfast."
"You know me too well Sakura-chan," Naruto said as he walked out of her kitchen and plopped himself down on her living room couch. Sakura followed behind him and sat next to him, wondering what Naruto was up to.
"A-are you really in love with Kakashi-sensei?" Naruto asked hesitantly as he kept his eyes from Sakura's.
"Yes," Sakura responded without hesitation.
"Um, what happened yesterday. Who told the old lady that you and Kakashi were in an relationship?"
"You don't know?" Sakura asked surprised that he hadn't heard that his best friend was the one who told the Hokage.
"No, and I have a feeling that I'm not going to like what you tell me."
"Sasuke..." She whispered so low that Naruto couldn't hear her.
"Who?"
"Sasuke...he told Hokage-sama."
"Uh, n-no way, Sasuke told the old lady?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
"I don't know, but...I think it was because he was jealous."
"Sasuke? Jealous?"
"Before he told Hokage-sama, Sasuke found Kakashi and I and started fighting with him for no reason."
"I see...Sakura-chan I'm going to go, I'll talk to you later, Ja Ne!" Naruto jumped up from the couch and ran for the door and out of sight, taking his sandals with him.
"What was that all about?" Sakura said out loud to her empty apartment as she swung her feet up on her couch and lay down.
'Damn you Sasuke. How could you do that to Sakura. I thought you had changed.' Naruto ran through the streets of Konoha until he arrived at Sasuke's house, but he was no where to be seen. He ran through the streets until he made it to one of Konoha's many forests that stood outside the village's walls, where he found Sasuke training.
"Oi Sasuke!" Naruto yelled as he neared the sweating Uchiha who was pounding furiously on a large tree.
"What do you want Naruto?" Sasuke asked as he turned around to face Naruto as he wiped the sweat from his brow with the back of his hand.
"What did you..." Naruto clenched his fists as what he was going to say got stuck in his throat because of his anger.
"What did I what?"
"Why did you interfere with Sakura and Kakashi!?" Naruto yelled loudly, making a flock of birds escape the province of the trees.
"I only did what was necessary," Sasuke said, shrugging his shoulders and turning around to continue training as if nothing had just happened.
"Like hell you did! Sakura and Kakashi may never see each other again!"
"So?"
"So! They love each other, how can you be so stupid as to get them separated!"
"It's taboo," Sasuke said without missing a beat though his blood was pumping from the loud yelling of Naruto.
"So what! I swear, if you get them separated I'll make sure you pay!" Naruto's fists were now clenched so tight that his nails were digging into his palms, bringing forth-small drops of blood.
"Oh really, Naruto?" Sasuke said sarcastically as he lowered his foot from kicking the tree and turned to face him.
"Yes! You had your chance with Sakura and now that someone else loves her you just think that everything can go your way!"
"Kakashi does not deserve Sakura!" Sasuke yelled as the control on his emotions fell.
"And you do? You have hurt Sakura enough!"
"Did you come here to lecture me Naruto?"
"Maybe. If you don't stop being jealous of Kakashi when you already had your chance with Sakura then I'll make sure you'll never hurt her again even if I have to hurt you myself!"
"Really? Then show me what you got!" Sasuke yelled as he got into his battle stance while glaring daggers at Naruto, activating his Sharingan.
"Sasuke! Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" Four Naruto clones appeared then circled Sasuke until they were on all four sides of him. The clones ran forward and dropped to the ground until they were sliding towards Sasuke's feet.
"U-zu-ma-ki!" Sasuke heard the Naruto clones yell, but he quickly jumped to the side as the clones descended towards him. He was familiar with this technique that was called Naruto Renden that Naruto had come up with when he was a Genin.
"Nice try but I won't fall for such a lame jutsu...what!" Suddenly Sasuke's ankles where held by the real Naruto as they came from underground where he had set his real trap. Naruto pulled Sasuke down into the ground like Kakashi did when they were Genin trying to get the two bells.
"I win...nani?" Naruto had walked up to Sasuke, but he disappeared in a puff of smoke to turn out to be a log.
'Replacement Jutsu,' Naruto thought to himself. Then sensing something coming from behind him he quickly jumped out of the way. He sighed in relief when he watched the blazing flame go by him, charring the grass and trees in its wake.
'Good thing I jumped out of the way in time.' Spinning around quickly Naruto launched six kunai in rapid succession as he ran towards Sasuke. When he was close enough Naruto used a set of continuous kicks and punches that landed a couple times on Sasuke who returned them. He saw that his Taijutsu wasn't working as he pushed off at the next kick and put a lot of space between them.
"Is that all you've got?" Sasuke laughed as he formed a simple set of seals and holding his wrist placed his palm face down towards the ground.
"This seems familiar don't it?" Sasuke asked as the Chidori formed in his facing down palm.
"So what?" Naruto yelled over the sound of a thousand birds chirping, coming from Sasuke's Chidori as he creates a clone and forms Rasengen.
"The last time we did this at the Valley of the End I was the victor and it will be the same this time." Sasuke smirked before pushing off from the ground and running towards Naruto with his Chidori in front of him.
"Chidori!"
"Rasengen!" Naruto yelled as he ran towards Sasuke.
Suddenly their movements stopped altogether, as they are enraptured in a strong binding jutsu that freezes them in their tracks. After a minute both their attacks die down until there is nothing left as they try to escape the jutsu and see who had stopped their fight.
"You don't learn, do you?" A familiar voice asked as they are released from the binding jutsu. Sasuke and Naruto collapse to the ground until they regain their breath. Standing up simultaneously they turn to see one of the people that they were just fighting about.
"Kakashi-sensei!" Naruto yells as his eyes widen in shock.
