It Was Just a Glimpse that caused it all!

It Was Just a Glimpse

Kakashi was sitting on the ground his back up against a tree. He had two shuriken laid out in front of him. He held one of the shuriken up and looked at the sharp weapon looking for any dullness in the edges. He ran his thumb gently over the edges.

Seeing that there was nothing wrong with the first one he put it back in his hip pouch.

He then picked up his second shuriken and inspected it. He was running his thumb over the edges, when Sakura came bounding out of the forest in her civilian clothes and into the small clearing he was in.

"Hello Kakashi!"

Kakashi looked up and gave a nod and a, "Hmm…"

As Kakashi looked up his thumb pressed down a little too hard on the edge of the shuriken. Kakashi hissed as he realized he had nicked his thumb. He looked down at the blood on his thumb. He was sorely tempted to pull down his mask and suck on his thumb till the blood would stop flowing.

He was surprised when Sakura was kneeling in front of him one knee on the ground on the other had a foot planted on the ground. Sakura's skirt slid up.

"Umm…ah...Sakura?"

Sakura grabbed the hand that had the cut thumb and started to heal it, "This shouldn't take long."

Kakashi could feel his nose start to bleed, being a gentleman placed his other hand in front of his eye and masked nose, "Sakura you shouldn't sit like that in a skirt."

Sakura had finished healing the wound. She looked at him confused and looked down. Her eyes widened.

Sakura squeaked and fell over backwards. She quickly shoved her hands down on her blue skirt.

Sakura's blush was bright red as her voice came out weak, "Did you see?"

Kakashi knew it would not be wise to tell her that he saw the pale pink panties he happened to get a glimpse of.

He did not want to be nursing any broken ribs any time soon. Or be subjugated to any type of physical attack that Sakura would give him.

Maybe if she did kill him he would have a wonderful funeral with lots of white flowers, maybe in respect they would bring him to his funeral two hours late in fond remembrance.

Kakashi pulled his hand away from his face as he looked directly at Sakura he shook his head, "No, Sakura I didn't see a thing."

Sakura pursed her lips, "Then why is there a dark trickle coming off your mask?"

Kakashi remained calm and collective as his bloody nose gave him away, "Sweat."

Sakura's eyes narrowed, "Since when does sweat come out of the nose?"

"I have a rare condition?"

"Are you getting sick?"

"I might be." If getting turned on by seeing my ex-student's panties is normal terminology of being sick. Then yes.

Sakura was on her knees before Kakashi this time her skirt came just above her creamy white knees.

Kakashi didn't move as she pulled off his headband and had put a hand on his forehead checking his temperature.

"You're very warm." She said.

Kakashi could smell Sakura she smelled faintly of coconut and a little like vanilla.

"What kind of shampoo do you use?"

Sakura pulled back and frowned, "Why?"

"Did you eat something with coconut in it?"

Sakura looked shocked, "I'm using a new conditioner with coconut oils in it."

"Hmm…" He brushed a finger in her hair and pulled a lock towards himself, "smells nice." He sniffed and regretted it as the smell of blood came back up his nose and into his throat.

He pulled a hand to his mouth and started coughing involuntarily.

As soon as Kakashi's coughing fit was over he noticed Sakura was frowning at him, "What?"

She had her hands on his neck before he could stop her she was moving her fingers in a circular motion, "Your glands aren't swollen. Hmm…Pull down your mask. I want to check your throat just in case."

"No, I'm fine."

"Stop being a baby and pull it down."

"Oh, is that…" Oh Crap! He couldn't think of any excuse to get out of this. If she saw the blood she would know that he saw her panties and then he would be a dead man.

Sakura had her left hand clamped down on his shoulder keeping him from getting away. Sakura's fingers were at the edge of his mask.

"Sakura please don't do this!"

"Kakashi if you're sick I have to make sure. So then I can heal you right away." Sakura's fingers curled underneath the material of his mask and it started to come down slowly.

"You know Sakura this can be considered as a form of rape!"

Sakura stilled in the process of taking down his mask, "You've got to be kidding me."

Kakashi quickly rushed on, "So you don't need to see if my throat is sore or not."

Sakura seemed to be thoughtful for a moment then looked at him with an apologetic look on her face, "Kakashi I'm a medic. And I know this is going to sound wrong but…If it means that I have to as you say 'rape' you then I'll do it because I'm a good medic. And because that is what good medics do."

Kakashi blushed slightly as Sakura's hand continued to inch the mask down, "You normally rape your patients. I thought I was special for a moment."

To Kakashi's disappointment the hand didn't stop from pulling his mask down. Sakura shook her head slightly, "You're so weird."

Kakashi's face was exposed to Sakura, bloody nose and all.

Sakura's face paled a bit as her eyes went wide. It was true Kakashi Hatake was a handsome man but that trickle of blood running down his nose…told Sakura all she need to know.

Sakura's hand tightened to an excruciating force on Kakashi's shoulder. He grimaced in pain and looked her directly in her eyes.

Her eyes were shining with a dangerous glint in them her jaw was clenched tight.

Kakashi was pulling off her hand on his shoulder and mask, "Now, Sakura…" Kakashi managed to pry off her hands and stand up with his back against the tree.

Sakura's voice came out low and steady as she glared at him with her hands clenched into fists, "You're a…" Then her voice became a shout, "DEAD MAN!"

Kakashi made off running through the forest at top speed towards the village, with Sakura not far behind on his heels.

Yamato was walking out of a grocery store with a loaded down plastic bag. He witnessed Sakura hot on Kakashi's heels yelling, "Get back here Kakashi!"

Yamato shook his head. Every time a woman saw Kakashi's face they ran after him.

"Yamato stop her! She's trying to kill me!"

Considering the fact that Kakashi stuck him with the last bill from Ichiraku Ramen last week, Yamato didn't bother to help but to say, "It's your own fault Kakashi-sempai."

"Traitorous kohai!" Kakashi yelled as he ran past him.

Yamato smiled as he shouted encouragement as Sakura ran past him, "Go get him Sakura!"

Maybe he could help a little bit. Sakura was never going to catch up at this rate.

Yamato did a quick hand seal and a root popped up out of the ground. The root tripped Kakashi. Kakashi fell inelegantly flat on his face.

Sakura came to a stop in front of Kakashi as she tried to catch her breath.

Kakashi scrambled to get up, when Sakura's hand clamp down on his shoulder and hauled him upright.

Yamato was watching the two like he was watching an interesting movie. Damn if only he had some popcorn to munch on.

The tension between the two was intense. It practically rolled off in waves.

Sakura had one hand clamped down on Kakashi's shoulder the other was clenched and she was staring at him breathing in short pants.

Kakashi was breathing hard as well. He looked at Sakura trying to find the words to apologize so she wouldn't kill him.

They stood there staring at each other. To anyone watching, such as Yamato they would think that the tension was sexual and not anger.

It was taking to long, it was driving Yamato crazy. "Just kiss already!"
