Pink Petals

Chapter 2

I woke up after coming home and getting drunk. Sasuke really pissed me off yesterday and his stupid accusations about me and Kakashi Sensei.

We weren't flirting I kept saying over and over again and after a few times it almost sounded like I was trying to reassure myself that we in fact weren't flirting. But even if we were let's just say. What the fuck does it matter to sasuke.

I should be able to move on in peace, and I do wish he didn't come back. I guess three years really wasn't that long after all.

I swung my feet off my bed and made my way to the bathroom, I washed up and went and made some coffee. I really needed a hot coffee right about now. When I heard a knock at my door.

For fucks sake I muttered to myself. This is why I can't vacation. It's never really a vacation there's always someone bothering me.

I went to my front door and opened up to find kakashi leaned up by the wall.

Oh! Uh, hey Sensei.. I felt myself blushing. Why the fuck am I blushing?

Hey Sakura, sorry to drop in so sudden but I figured since I was already out and about I would stop in and check on my favorite student.

Mmm.. did ya now. I said slyly with a smile.

I moved aside and let him in motioning to the couch, I've got coffee brewing would you like a cup?

Ah, no thank you he responded.

I sat across from him on the couch and stared.

Well, I know you didn't just stop in just to say hi. So what's going on. I said just ready to cut to the chase.

Kakashi sat back and eyed me for a moment looking as if he were thinking before he spoke.

Well Sakura, I overheard sasuke yesterday confronting you about supposedly flirting with me. And I wanted to come to you and see if you took what I said that way. And if so I apologize for making you uncomfortable.

I looked at him clearly flustered. Well, kakashi no, I didn't think you were flirting and no you didn't make me feel uncomfortable. And I'm sorry if any of this is making you feel uncomfortable.

No, it doesn't make me uncomfortable Sakura.. he said in a low voice. Almost as if he was talking to himself.

Well, great! So no worries then. I smiled.

Yeah, uh.. I got another question Sakura.

Well, I'm all ears I responded.

Do you think you and sasuke will get back together?

I felt a little upset being asked that. But then again everyone knew how strung up I was on sasuke it would only make sense for him to be somewhat concerned. Kakashi was there for me after the break up between sasuke and I after all. Holding me while I just cried my eyes out or taking me to the training ground just to rage and tear shit up.

He was there for me.. forgetting the question I was just asked I suddenly felt a weird emotion wash over me. Kakashi was there for me. He made sure I was okay after the whole thing.. He told me how Karin had none of the qualities I did. And sasuke must be a sad and desperate man. Because who wouldn't want someone like me by their side. Kakashi! He said that. I began to chew on my bottom lip lost in thought when kakashi cleared his throat.

Uh.. Sakura? You okay?

I felt my face turn extremely red. I cast my eyes to the floor unable to look at him.

Uh, no. I don't believe I would go back to sasuke. After all this time and what's been done I think.. I think I'm finally good, and ready to move on.

I looked back up to kakashi to see him studying me with an intense gaze. That gave me chills.
