Psychology : Kakashi (KakaSaku)

Roomies

Sakura was walking silently behind Neji and Tenten while Kakashi was walking in a purposeful slow gait behind her with half of his face hidden underneath his smutty book. He was ignoring her, he had not spoken a single word to her since last night. Under usual circumstances, she would not think much of it, they hardly talked before this, but ever since she was assigned to be his psychologist, things took a different turn. They spoke, shared confidential and personal matters with each other; they somehow bonded. But now the copy-nin was pretending like it had never happened at all. Sakura realised that she missed his chatty persona; heck, she missed Kakashi. He was a great listener, he never judged, hardly gave her any stupid advices and actually replied in proper sentences. Sakura was close to Naruto, but if she had to confide in him in emotional issues, he would give her the worst advices, it was practically stupid. Sakura had ever asked him for his help once. Lee was being a persistent romantic and Sakura could not withstand his rubbish any further, she decided to ask Naruto to help her on it. Naruto's advice was; "Why don't you dress up weirdly? Make him see you as less attractive? I know! Put that spandex suit on! The same one that he has! I still have one from the time he gave it to me."

And so Sakura did, to only realise that Lee was totally into ladies in spandex. It was horrible, on top of which, she was the laughing stock of Konoha for a week. That was the last time she listened to any of Naruto's 'advice'.

Sasuke on the other hand, usually did not bother to listen, showed a very disinterested face and replied with a one syllable word that usually sounded like a grunt.

Sai, despite the fact that he reads psychological books, was far from being helpful. He had no idea how to connect a situation to the contents of the book. In short, he reads books well, but he was incapable of reading an actual situation when the time calls for it.

"Why are my teammates incapable of displaying proper emotions when the time calls for it? Well at least one is and he is currently ignoring me." Sakura sighed inwardly, she was broke from her reverie when she heard Tenten laugh.

"That was a good one wasn't it, Neji?" Tenten asked her stoic teammate, whom had nodded quietly from where Sakura could see.

That was another thing that she had been wondering. What kind of power did Tenten possess to be able to capture the attention of the ever calm, composed and stoic- Hyuuga Neji? Sakura had always thought that he was just as similar as Sasuke. Both reserved, hardly spoke more than necessary and void of emotions. But when it came to Tenten, Sakura could see his facial expression relaxed, his words were gentler instead of being laced with sarcasm, she had never seen the man smile, but she could see a amused glint in his eyes whenever he spoke to Tenten. That was why the entire village thought that they were going out; but the recent revelation disappointed Sakura. They were not dating.

"Hey Sakura!" Tenten called out, "What's your favourite dessert at the land of wheat? Barely drinks or Pancakes? Which one should we get?"

Sakura smiled towards the friendly weapon Mistress and walked alongside her to speak. Neji slowed down until he was walking next to Kakashi.

"Kakashi-Senpai." Neji said curtly.

He received a perverted giggle as a response, which instantly caused an irate anime vein to prop up on Neji's left temple, he breathed in before he exhaled loudly and started, "The Mission is ranked as an S-Class mission. Some thugs are controlling the supply of herbs and creating illegal substances with it. The kage from that village could not put a stop to it as the source of this seemed to be coming from a very influential politician, they could not point their fingers towards him as his men had recognised every single shinobi and kunoichi in that small village. Upon seeing their faces, this politician; Mori Haru will be notified, giving him a heads up to clear any traces of evidence on him.." Neji paused when he realised that Kakashi was indeed listening to him despite the fact that his eyes were still glued onto the book, "..the first and most crucial part of our Mission is to convince the villagers that we are indeed a married couple of merchants and advisors. By gaining the trust of the villagers, we can dig out dirt on Mori. Now, the reason why I am telling you things that you already know is because of the friction that is between you and Haruno-San. I don't care what happened between the two of you, but if this behaviour continues, it will inevitably blow our cover. And you being the older, much more reasonable adult, need to address this issue."
