Chapter Two

'Don't go! You can't leave me!' She thrust herself onto his moist body. The rain that fell above them seeped into her white dress, revealing her…

"Kakashi Sensei!" The voice of his blond haired student ripped his eyes away from the book. Normally he would simply ignore his little students' pleas for help and get back to his well needed reading, but the boy sounded more frantic today than usual. He looked up just in time to see Sasuke, his arms wrapped around the blond who was tangled in metal wire, holding the two of them upside down as they pummelled to the broken earth beneath them. A think cloud of dust shielded them for a second from their teachers prying eyes. It cleared to reveal Sasuke, placed comfortably on the blonds' backside as Narutos face was smooshed(?) into the dirt.

"Sasuke! Did you-" A panting Sakura merged from the bushes behind them, her curled fists hiding her lips as she held them up in worry.

"Yes Sakura, I got him" The raven head confirmed her suspicions. His eyes peered down at the boy beneath him as the blond mumbled something unfathomable.

"I said…" Naruto growled. Sasuke didn't get time to brace himself as his hold on Naruto was flung away, literally. "…get, off me!" He was soon whizzing through the sky as the blond flung him off his back. Though of course the raven landed safely on the ground, unlike the other who stumbled over his still tangled feet and was about to land flat on his face again, if it were not for the arms around him, stopping his fall.

Sighing, Kakashi tucked his book away and quickly jumped down to catch his student before he could embrace the earth.

The blonds' widened blue eyes stared up at his teachers. "S-Sensei" He let out a surprised breath, wondering why Kakashi hadn't just let the ground squish him.

He let the boy regain his composure and unravelled all the wire till he was completely free. "You're dismissed" The oldest calmly said before pulling back out his book and jumping back up into the tree to continue reading, a small square of paper fluttering from the book and landing softly at Narutos feet.

Naruto missed the part where he was free to go, therefore as Sakura and Sasuke parted, he remained where he was. There was something in the eye of Kakashi that he wasn't familiar with; something different when he looked down at him, as if there was more to that little rescue than met the eye. Like there was a story behind it that hadn't been told yet.

His eyes swooped to the ground, taking note of the piece of paper; he picked it up by the corner and turned it over to reveal a picture on the other side. A picture of a man and woman, standing side by side, arms locked and smiles gracing both their faces. His eyes met with those of the photo, studying them carefully; he recognised the man from some where, but couldn't place it exactly. The woman he didn't recognise at all. He'd never seen anyone around the village with long red hair like hers. Perhaps they weren't from this village? Or maybe it was taken so long ago; they no longer lived in Konoha?

"Naruto"

He looked up from the photo, Kakashi was standing right in front of him, his hand laid out in front of him as he took the photo back and placed it carefully back in his precious book.

"Who are they?" The blond asked, curiosity getting the best of him.

Kakashi paused "My teacher and his wife" He gave a simple reply.

"Do they live in the village?" Naruto asked.

"No; they died long ago" As soon as Kakashi gave his answer; he tucked his book into his pouch and teleported away, clearly not wanting to answer any more questions.

Naruto didn't know why he was so curious; perhaps it was something in their faces that intrigued him so much. What ever it was, he wanted to know more.

"Hey Naruto!" He looked to the side of him to see Sakura, her eyes curled and her mouth baring teeth as she waved at him. "What are you still doing here?" She ran to him.

"I could ask you the same thing" He replied, his mind still picturing the two people in the photo.

"My kunai holster came loose" She walked over to the bush she had emerged from earlier, during their training match. He watched as she bent low on the ground and crawled in, ruffling the leaves as she felt around for the little bag. "Found it!" She announced as she attempted to crawl out. The shaking of the leaves stopped, as so did her movements. After a few moments he heard her reluctantly ask "Umm… Naruto, I'm stuck. You wouldn't be able to pull me out would you?"

He raised an eye brow at her. She was a ninja; surely she could get herself out. Shrugging it off, he reached into the bush, accidently brushing her chest as he attempted to find her waist. When he pulled her free, he expected to get a fist thrown at him and be called a pervert, but instead he was met with a blushing Sakura who quickly thanked him and left.

Why didn't she hit him a usual? Shrugging once more, he turned to the other direction and made his way home, half of him thinking about Sakuras reaction, the other half thinking about Kakashis picture.

xXx

It was indeed very short, but there's not much more I can add to it. So yea, I've brought Sakura into this little love triangle, if that's what it gonna turn into. Rating has been move to 'T' for now as I may add more mature stuff in later chapters. Feel free to give me suggestions, and don't forget to review!
