Whisper

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, these characters and shenanigans belong to Masashi Kishimoto.

And with one whisper, just one insignificant utterance under her breath, Kakashi's entire world changed.

"What."

He had stopped in his tracks, but her fist was still cutting its way through the air to his face and he barely managed to grasp it before it made contact. He forced her to stop and he stared relentlessly at her similarly shocked expression.

"What? What did I say just now? Haha, Sensei, you must be…must be…" she tried, "going deaf?"

"Sakura, repeat back to me those exact four words you just said."

"You must be going deaf?"

His brow furrowed and his grip on her hand tightened, "Sakura, you know damn well what I meant."

She took a deep breath, "Fine, 'Kakashi, I love you.' Happy?"

"Very."

And for the first time since she had taken her apprenticeship under the Godaime Hokage, Haruno Sakura was late for work from her daily training session with Hatake Kakashi. Tsunade couldn't have been more proud.

So…hey, there.

I am in fact alive…haha…

So this is like, my first update in forever and I am proud to say that I am in fact working on the sequel to "Dinner With Disaster." It is very much in progress.

This was a tiny little drabble-like thing, but be prepared for "Date With Destruction," coming at you with ItaSaku AND ShiSaku cuteness and banter!

So, uh, yeah. Look forward to it.

Hopefully, I'll be more productive in the near future.
