Broken Petals {Sakura Haruno}

18

5:30 Am - March XXXX

It was an early morning start for Naruto, he had woken up, his eyes bleary and groggy as he wiped at them.
He had stayed up most of the night watching over the pink haired beauty that lay in the broken and rickety bed.
"Oh Sakura..... It's time to wake up." Naruto shook her shoulder as he watched her long lashes flutter open.

"Naruto?" She moaned in annoyance as she slowly sat up, her bones popping as she sagged a bit.
"Where are we?"

"At Lady Shizuko's house Saku-chan." Naruto ran his pale fingers through her hair as he cupped her cheek.
"We have to get back to Kakashi-sensei."

"Alright...." Sakura mumbled as she slid out of the bed. Most of her strength had returned as she stretched eliciting a strange mewl that escaped her cherry pink lips.
Alabaster skin glowing in the orange sunrise as she tugged her sweater off, showing the scars that littered her pale body.
Digging around for another sweater she pulled out a tight fitting burgundy turtleneck. Pulling it on she adjusted her weapon holsters and hid senbon all throughout her outfit just in case.

"Ready?" Naruto tilted his head, acting as if he hadn't just seen Sakura change in front if him. Even if he doesn't show it he's still a living red blooded male with hormones.

"Yup!" Sakura chirped as she stared at the sleeping lady, knelling down she gave the withered lady a hug before standing and strolling out the door.

Immediately they headed to the inn where they found the teams asleep, each in their respective sleeping bag.
Sakura arched a pink brow as she stared at Sasuke who had his fingers curled into a claw.
Walking over to the sleeping boy, she kneeled as she stroked his surprisingly soft hair.
Just something she picked up from Mikoto when she had that short blissful time with the Uchiha's.

Sasuke gave a small mumble as he instantly relaxed, his face softened and Sakura just kept petting him.
"I'm so sorry Sasuke..... but behind every action there's a reason." She whispered before taking her hand away making the boy claw around for the warmth.

Naruto helped her up as he wrapped an arm protectively around her petite waist.
"What should we do while we wait for them?"

"I'll just read..." Sakura murmured as she sat herself in a small corner, Naruto joining beside her as he set his head on her shoulder, after all he was still sleepy.
Sakura chuckled as she pet Naruto's spiky hair. It was soft like a baby birds fresh down.

7:30 Am

Kakashi was the first to stir, his onyx eyes darted around when he felt a hidden chakra figure, grabbing his kunai he scanned the room until he saw the pair in the corner.
Sakura was immersed in a book and Naruto was fast asleep on her shoulder.

Sitting up Kakashi looked around to notice everyone still asleep, Tazuna in a bed as he drooled slightly covering the sheets in a sticky mess.
"My lord..." He mumbled as he pinched the bridge of his nose.
Standing up and stretching, Kakshi walked over to his students and just stared at them.
"Good morning you two."

"Good morning......Kakashi" Sakura drawled out, intentionally leaving out the suffix making Kakashi frown at her.

"Can't you just add Sensei?" Kakashi shook his head as he folded his muscled arms.

"No... you haven't earned it yet." Sakura muttered as she still had her nose stuffed in her book.

Now Kakashi was interested. He hadn't earned it yet? To her possibly.
He's an S-Rank Jounin, once an Anbu.
How dare she.

Leaning close to her face her lifted her cheek as he made her stare at him.
"I haven't earned it yet? Then tell me.... how shall I earn it?" His voice was a deep baritone that could make woman fall to their knees yet Sakura just stared at him.
