Star
Number Five
Life was an assemblage of various events and
people that were unpredictable. Kakashi knew it. Yet, he still tried to control
everything. Perhaps because things tended to get out of hand if he didn't.
Still, sometimes, the best moments of his life were triggered by actions
completely out of his control; actions that forced him to act himself.
For once, he could thank Naruto for being such
an idiot.
"Kakashi-sensei!
Sakura! Me and Sasuke are going to go spar, bye!" Naruto exclaimed as he
dragged Sasuke by the collar out of the clearing where their camp was set up. The Uchiha looked creeped out, even though his
body remained limp.
Kakashi
desperately wanted to protest and force them to stay. He hadn't been alone with
Sakura since their kiss on White day. No matter how hard he tried, no valid
argument formed in his mind.
"Are
you okay, Kakashi-sensei?" Sakura asked, certainly noticing the distraught
look on his face.
"Yes,"
he replied simply, though he avoided meeting her gaze.
"Is it
because of the other night?" she whispered, nibbling on her thumb.
Kakashi
remained silent, unsure of what to say. Should he admit he had more than
enjoyed the kiss? Her motive was still unclear to him, so making a decision was
near impossible.
"I'm
sorry," Sakura sighed, running a hand through her pink tresses. "It
was stupid to think that you would--"
"Sakura-chan!"
Naruto shouted in the distance, enthusiastic as always. "Shooting
stars!"
As they
both looked up to witness the unusual phenomenon, Sakura's interrupted sentence
replayed in his mind. She was to stupid to think that he would what? While he
watched the light of one of the stars disappear, it dawned on him. To say that
if Naruto hadn't told them about the stars, he might have missed it.
