KakaSaku : Confessions

Sakura's P.O.V.

It was cold outside in Konoha. There was a cold wind blowing and there was a touch of frost covering most surfaces. My feet crunched through the frosted leaves as I walked to the meeting place. The place where I was meeting my sensei, Kakashi. He knew it was going to be cold so he had a nice decorated scarf with my clan crest on it hand made for me and told me that I should be needing it in missions during the winter. I was wearing that scarf, I cherished it. It was very special to me, as it came from someone special...
      I contined to walk until I got to Crystal Leaf Fountain - a large round fountain that had crystal clear water jumping around a large sparkling leaf ornament in the center – the meeting place. I sat down on the edge of the fountain, careful not to slip in, like I accidently did before. That was Naruto's fault, of course. I sat there, wrapping my woolly jacket around me tighter to warm myself up. As usual, and as expected, Kakashi-sensei was late. He probably got caught on the path of life again. I giggled. He was so funny sometimes, I can't help but smile when around him. I sighed. Oh Kakashi, don't ever leave me....

Kakashi's P.O.V.

I checked the time. Damn! I was late...as usual. Sakura had told me to meet up with her by Crystal Leaf Fountain, saying that she had something important to tell me. Is this a secret mission? I couldn't think of anything else is could be. I ran to about 100 metres away from the fountain, out of anyone's range of sight, and begain to casually walk to the fountain. Don't want her to think I was all panicked. She'd probably give out to me. I wouldn't want to ge hit wiht her brutal strength and end up in hospital. Well, at least she'd be treating me....
      I continued to  walk casually to the fountain, where I spotted the pretty pinkette siting on the edge. I saw that she was wearing the scarf I gave her, and that made me smile. I'm gladshe liked it. I can remember when I gave it to her, her face seemed to light up, and tears of happiness were cried. I raised my hand and waved a hello to her. She waved back, but then looked away. I could have sworn I saw her blushing. I wonder what she was thinking about?


Sakura's P.O.V.

Kakashi came walking casually aroud the corner. I smiled and waved and he waved back, also smiling through his mask. His smile. I wonder what its looks like without that mask. Images came into my head of different smiles, and I blushed at the thought that his smile might be perfect. I looked away, hoping he wouldn't see my blush. As he got to the fountain, he sat down beside me. I looked back at him and smiled.
“Sorry I'm late, I was caught on the -”
“Path of Life. I know” I giggled. So pradictable.
“So, you said you had something important to tell me.” Kakashi spoke in a calm voice. I loved his voice.
“Uh, yeah....I do...um...” I blushed furiosly at the thought of what I was about to tell him. How was I going to do this? He was probably going to reject me. Of course he would. I'm just a stupid, billboard brow, pinkette. I'm nothing special.
“Are you okay, Sakura?” Kakashi interupted my thoughts. His voice sounded as if there was a hint of worry in it. I nodded, still blushing. I have to tell him, no matter what. I can't go on like this.
“I....um.....I....I don't know how I'm going to say this...” I sheepishly said. I felt tears coming. Oh no, I don't want to cry infont of him. I turned away, wiping my tears away. Damn! I'm such a baby!
“Sakura...” Kakashi said in a more worried tone now. His voice seemed closer to me now. He placed his hand on my shoulder and turned me to face him.
“Ugh...I'm sorry...I'm such a baby..” I sobbed, wiping away tears.
“Sakura....” He repeated. But what he did next surprised me. He wiped away my tears, then cupped his warm hand around my cheek. My heart punded hard against my chest and I gasped. His eyes... were...perfect...I could melt in them....I was speechless. I was probably gaping like a fish because he chuckled. Aaaah, he's perfect. I was blushing furiously again.
“Sakura, you're freezing, come here...” With that, he placed his jacket around me. Come to think of it, I was quite cold. His jacket felt warm. He pulled me closer to him, so my body was touching his. It was so warm. I didn't realise but I snuggled into him. My crying has stopped (thankfully) and I rested my head on his chest. So warm and comfortable.....I wish I could stay like this with him forever..


Kakashi's P.O.V.

Sakura snuggled into me. She seemed to fit perfectly on my side. I was glad to see her crying had ceased. I wonder what she was trying to tell me? How did it make her so upset? Something told me this wasn't going to be a mission..... I held her closer, keeping her warm in the cold wind.
“Sakura, are you okay?” I asked her, hoping she wouldn't burst into tears again. Last time I saw her cry like that was when Sasuke......
“Uh, yeah, thanks.” She looked at me and gave me a small sheepish smile. I smiled back, glad she was okay.
“Do you.....do you want to.....tell me...what you were trying to say earlier?” I said quietly. I was hoping I wouldn't say anything to make her cry again. I hate to see her so upset....
“I want to but....but its really hard....because.....because....I feel like its all going to go wrong...and...and you'll hate me and never want to see me again and -”
“Sakura! That would never happen-”
“And...and you see...I don't want that to happen and-
“Sakura-”

“And...I love you!” Silence fell onto both of us. We stared into eachothers eyes. She gasped and turned away from me.
“Oh no...I...I....” She began but she couldn't finish because tears began to form in her eyes again. No...don't cry...I don't want you to cry.

I think I was the one gaping like a fish now. Her sudden outburst had seriously surprised me. What do I do?
“I'm...I'm so sorry!” Sakura cried, and jumped up away from me ready to run away.

No...don't go...

I grabbed her wrist and turned her to face me. I quickly pulled down my mask with my other hand and pulled her close to me so I could reach her face with mine. I captured her lips with mine. Her lips were so soft....I felt her tears trickle down onto my chin as I held her there., but they quickly stopped. I pulled away slower to see her shocked face, staring at me with wide eyes. My heart was pounding, my stomach had butterflies, I felt a bit dizzy. This isn't normal..I've never felt like this before. What was this? Was it....love?
“Ka...kashi....” she stammered, in shock. Her crying had ceased, I'm glad.
“Sakura....I....I love you too...” I said, barely over a whisper. I saw her face light up, and she let out a cute small squeal.
Yes, I love her...I love Sakura...
With that, she pounced on me, her lips meeting mine. Our lips seemed to mold perfectly together, seeming to stay perfectly in sync. I pulled her close to me, wanting to feel her warmth. I wanted to deepen the kiss, but as I did, I lost balance on the edge of the fountain and slipped into the water, taking her with me. We pulled away from eachother gasping for both air and from the cold of the water. We both just looked at eachother and bust into laughter.

I'm looking foward to the time I'll get to spend with you in the future Sakura....I love you...
