Chapter 1

Sorry for any delays with this story, this chapter was really tough and I still don't know if it's good enough, but nvm! I'm publishing it ^^

Enjoy!

Kakashi curled into a ball, hiding his hands between his legs as if trying to grab a sore spot. One glance at the situation around him allowed him to conclude that everyone had fallen for his act, and Obito's words only confirmed his theory. Only Minato-sensei posed a real threat with his keen eyesight. The young shinobi took a risk and glanced at his commander out of the corner of his eye, only to see Minato peering him.

Kuso!

He must have known that Kakashi was faking everything, it was just a window dressing. After all, he couldn't show everyone that he didn't really get hit in the groin, but only tried to hide how the incident with an unknown kunoichi had affected his body.

He let out another pained groan for effect, much to Obito's delight.

The only thing he had not foreseen was that when the stranger kunoichi finally noticed his condition, she would want to help him ease his pain.

Panic seized him, but he kept his composure.

Sakura has a feeling that something unusual would happen that day, when after a few hours of sleep, she got up right away, ready to go, glancing at their leader. Kakashi had a tendency to read until late, but somehow he always, as if magically, woke up first and ready to kick their enemies' ass at any moment. Therefore, when their eyes met at dawn on the same day, Sakura sensed the tension in him. She felt the same, but somewhere inside her a feeling of unease was awakening.

Now she knew where it came from. And it had nothing to do with the mission that had started a few days ago, let alone the fight against Sasori, although she felt equally bad then, fearing that she would fail her friends and lose the fight. Yet, deep withing her soul, she felt it was going to be a difficult day, but it would never have occurred to her that it would end so tragically.

Her legs were still trembling with the jutsu force Kakashi had imposed on her, or else she couldn't interpret it. Eventually, it was he who ripped off Deidara's arm and was about to retract it with his new sharingan technique, until she felt herself being sucked in by the thick air accumulated around the Akatsuki member. The last thing she remembered before being sucked in here was how she was clinging to the tree and trying to help Elder Chiyo, when the next moment she felt this overwhelming feeling just before she got here. She felt like squeezing her eyes shut tightly and begging for it all to be just a dream, another illusion, and maybe even another genjutsu, in which Kakashi would have caught her by accident, but not... that it was her new reality.

"Kakashi-sensei?" she repeated in a slightly calmer voice, in which you could still feel panic.

He looked so young now, quite different from the one she had known for so many years. She had already managed to note that he did not have his sharingan yet and that he had a rather unusual hairstyle, but It definitely suited him. The last thing Sakura noticed was his reddish cheeks and how he was writhing in pain that... she had driven him to!

"Oh no! Kakashi-sensei, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you!" She began to mumble before falling to her knees beside him and reaching out to him, summoning some healing chakra into her hands and gliding towards his underbelly. "I'll make you feel better in a minute," she assured him.
