December rolled in with its snowy weather before anyone was ready. Sakura gazed out the window of her house watching the light snow falling from the cloudy sky. She had three large stacks of paperwork to finish before she had to be outside in that weather training her own soldiers today. She sighed, leaning against her chair as her laptop sat in front of her.

"Are you ok?" Kakashi teased, Sakura rolled her eyes as she sipped her coffee.

"Peachy." Sakura answered, looking at Kakashi through the video chat. "How is your mission going?" Sakura asked,

"Pretty good, besides the light fighting between Sasuke and Naruto it's been pretty mellow." Kakashi smiled as he held his phone out looking at Sakura's pretty face. "How is it over there?"

"About the same." Sakura shrugged.

"No more civil wars threatening to break out?" Kakashi laughed,

"Not that I know of." Sakura promised.

"Has Naruto called you?" Kakashi asked, looking back at the sleeping blond who was curled up in his sleeping bag as close to the fire as he could be without being roasted alive.

"He calls me more than you do." Sakura joked, "He told me."

"He hasn't stop talking about it." Kakashi smiled,

"He is excited, I don't think I have ever seen Naruto with another woman. Which I think is surprising since his best friend is the Leaf Villages biggest whore."

"I haven't either." Kakashi agreed with a chuckle.

"So, the fact he has a girlfriend is refreshing. Maybe Hinata can mellow him out."

"Possibly." Kakashi agreed,

"Or he could break Hinata." Sakura muttered laughing with Kakashi at the light joke. Sakura ruffled her hair before pulling it back into a hair tie.

"You have to go?" Kakashi asked,

"Yeah." Sakura sighed, "Those people won't train themselves."

"Be careful."

"Always."

"I'll talk to you tonight?"

"Yeah, be careful out there." Sakura smiled at Kakashi before ending the call between them.

"Commander." A soldier bowed; Sakura turned looking over her shoulder as sweat coated a thin layer over her skin.

"What?" She asked turning towards the soldier seeing her phone in his hand.

"This has been going off for about an hour now."

"Oh?" Sakura took the phone. "Thanks." She muttered as the soldier quickly excused himself.

"Ah fuck!" Diem laughed, "Who's sky is falling down on them today?"

"Everything ok?" Dawn asked shooting Diem an annoyed look, Sakura saw Naruto's name flashing through the screen. It was still early in the day, Kakashi wouldn't have set up camp just yet...

"Erm..." Sakura waved, "Continue without me, I'll be back." Sakura said answering the phone.

"Naruto I can't talk right now-"

"Kakashi's hurt." Naruto's voice blurted sounded a little winded.

"What?" Sakura felt alarmed as her body tensed and her stomach squeezed, she had just spoken to him this morning... "Where are you!?" She demanded.
