Chapter 7-Making A Stand


"What the fuck?!"

"I don't care if you did used to be our sensei! Nobody takes advantage of Sakura-chan like that!"

"Naruto, I wasn't...OW!"

"Don't worry, Sakura-chan! I'll take care of him for-OW! What the hell, Sakura?!"

"We're on a date!" I shout angrily at Naruto whilst punching him and causing an anthill-sized lump to erupt on the top of his head.

"Y-You're on a what?!" Naruto sputters as Hinata, who saw everything, runs over to comfort him. I feel a slight tinge of guilt, but I've gotten so used to knocking Naruto out whenever he says or does anything stupid that it's become second nature. Oops! Too late now. Besides, I could've sworn I heard Hinata shouting for him to stop as well.

"But how could you be on a date with him! He kept saying 'sex me' to you over and over again!"

"Naruto, I wasn't saying 'sex me' to Sakura, I was saying 'smexy'." Kakashi tries to explain, and like Hinata to Naruto, I rush over to Kakashi to fuss over his wounds.

"Smexy? What the heck is that?! Is that even a word?!" Naruto yells hysterically.

"It's 'smart' and 'sexy' put together, but with fangirls it means smut and...Aw, never mind!" Kakashi's head falls back onto my lap as he grasps it with both hands as if he has the most monstrous headache. Slowly and carefully I begin to heal him.

"Sakura-chan?" Naruto asks.

I can't see him with my back turned to him, but I can feel his burning gaze on the back of my head.

"We're on a date." I repeat, tenderly brushing Kakashi's bangs away from his face. As he slowly sits up, we exchange smiles, his grateful for my healing and mine grateful for his recovery.

"But, he's old..."

"He's not even old enough to be my father, Naruto." I say, still not looking at him and instead help Kakashi get back on his feet.

"He's our sensei..."

"Not anymore and not for a long time. And that's also why I trust him. That's why I want to give him a chance." I take Kakashi's arm and wrap it around my shoulder, letting him lean against me for support as we slowly make our way back into Ichiraku's.

"Sakura..."

"Naruto." This time it's Hinata's gentle voice that stops him.

I turn my head back around quick enough to see Naruto still looking back at me bewildered with Hinata lightly touching his arm, looking at him beseechingly. I give him one last small smile, tighten my embrace around Kakashi's waist and never look back.

To be continued...
