Rumor,
Chapter 3
______________________________
“Oooww.” Sakura stared up at the sky
with pain squinted eyes. She continued to lie on the ground and rest her aching
limbs until a shadow fell over her face.
“What’s
wrong with you?” Kakashi peered down at her, still holding a kunai in one hand
from their confrontation.
“I’m
tired, every part of my body hurts, I hardly have any chakra and you threw me
onto a pointy rock.” She groaned in self pity.
“Awww, poor baby. Next time I’ll toss you
into a pile of pillows if I see one, okay?” Kakashi patted her cheek as she
stared at his masked upside down face.
That
was Kakashi, all sympathy. Jerk, she thought and jumped up trying to throw a
punch right in his smiling face. It only succeeded in getting her thrown to
ground once more as his fist caught hers and pulled her into a half somersault.
“Ah God, f-…” Sakura mumbled and groaned as she twisted on the
ground.
“What
was that? Didn’t catch the last part Sakura.” Cupping
a hand around his ear and leaning over her once again.
“You’d
think you would get sick of winning all the time. But it just makes you more of
a cocky bastard Kakashi-sensei.” This only received surprised laughter and a
hand up from the ground.
“I
think that’s enough for today then. It’s not as much fun winning when your
partner can barely hold a kunai.” He was intentionally trying to piss her off.
It would have worked wonderfully a couple of years earlier but Sakura was used
to it by now.
“Good
thinking, then when I’ve rested we can come back and I can wipe that smirk off
your face.” But she still couldn’t help herself, so with that parting remark
she shifted herself into the village. This little trick only drained more
chakra and Kakashi came into existence next to her not a moment later. Her
attempt at trying to get away from him failed miserably as she realized she
wouldn’t be able to perform that skill again anytime soon.
“Ooooooh, big words for such a little kunoichi.” Not able to refute the ‘little’ remark, seeing as
she had to look up at him, she decided to refrain from comment. “I wonder, how
do you know I’m smirking, and how do you plan on wiping it off my face?”
Now
he was just plain teasing her and it was starting to work. Sakura bravely
walked on with the man following closely at her side.
“I
can see it in your eye. And if I told you how I plan to wipe it off it wouldn’t
be a fun surprise. But it does involve taking the mask off and then probably
smacking you.”
“Hm. Then it’s never going to
work.” She looked at him sharply. “Let’s face it, your
skill has been waning. You need to train more...and maybe grow a few more inches.”
“Shannaro!” She hissed but Kakashi
grabbed both her hands in preparation of retaliation.
“Sakura-san,
Kakashi…” Hayate descended from a roof next to them and landed close.
“Hi Hayate-san!” Sakura ripped one hand free to give him a wave. He
gave a half smile in return.
Hayate
looked at the restraining hand around Sakura’s wrist and then back up to see a
glaring look from her in Kakashi’s direction.
“Just a little training.” Kakashi said and let go to give her a sharp slap to the shoulder. Sakura winced and shot him
another glare.
“Ah,”
Hayate said and then turned a little more towards Sakura to get her attention.
“Would you like to get something to eat?”
Surprise
written on her face Sakura turned back to stare at him. He looked completely
serious from what she could tell and he directed it only at her.
“Um…”
Sakura glanced at Kakashi to see his reaction. His eye looked a little wider
but when he turned and raised his eyebrow at her she realized how long her
response was taking. Hayate didn’t seem to notice. “Sure!” Taking a step closer
to him to let him know she meant it.
“Alright. I’ll be at Jounin Headquarters when
you’re ready.” He started to walk around them and was about to speed away.
“What?
Not right now?” Sakura asked incredulous. He stopped and turned.
“No.
It’s still early.” Sakura thought her mouth might be hanging open. “Besides,
you look a little…worn.” He smiled kindly when he said it.
“Oh,
okay then…” When he was gone Sakura turned to Kakashi with a pleading look.
“Don’t
give me that. At least someone’s taking you out to eat.” An evil grin replaced
her look of pleading confusion.
“Kawaii, are you jealous Kakashi-senpai?”
He snorted and walked off.
______________________________
Sakura
was glad Hayate hadn’t wanted to eat right that very second. As soon as she got
home she realized what a mess she was in. Grass and leaves were stuck in her
hair and her shirt looked like it wanted to be put out of its misery.
Wearing
the tough vest of a jounin seemed to have its perks
as she regretfully threw away her kunai cut shirt. She’d have to remember to
wear it the next time she trained with Kakashi.
It
was a little after seven when she finally decided she’d rested enough and spent
the last hour sitting under a scalding pour of water. Giving up on trying to find something ‘pretty’ Sakura settled with a black
t-shirt, black shorts and her two flaps of red fabric with a white ring on the
front that posed as a skirt.
“Whatever,
he’ll be dressed in uniform anyways.” She mumbled and went out to find him.
It
didn’t take her long to find him seeing as he had waited exactly where he said
he would. As she walked into the mostly quiet main room of Jounin
Headquarters she saw a group of men taking up and standing around the couch. A
knot of women were standing across the room laughing so hard they were crying.
Sakura
shot the women a curious look but continued toward the men since she was more
interested in Hayate than gossip at the moment.
“Yo.” She said in greeting to everyone in general. One ‘Yo’ in return from Kakashi and a general ‘Hey’ from the
rest was heard as she found Hayate sitting between Kakashi and Raidou on the
couch.
“So
what are they talking about that’s so God damn funny?” Genma sidled up next to
her to whisper conspiratorially.
“What?
How should I know?” Sakura said turning but pulling her head away from his
lowered one.
“Oh c’mon Sakura-chan.” Sakura shook her head sadly
at him. “Well go find out for us then!” He took her by the upper arm and
started to push her towards the other women who were completely ignoring Sakura
and her group.
“No!
Don’t be so juvenile. Besides, I’m busy.” Taking back her arm and trying to
step away.
“Bull.”
Genma grinned but was cut short when Hayate stood up and close to them both.
“Ready?”
Hayate asked her.
“Yes.”
“Then
let’s go.” They started to walk away but Genma was easily in front of them, a
huge grin plastered across his face.
“Oi, where do you two think you’re going?” Taller than Hayate but towering over Sakura as he blocked their
way.
Sakura
looked over her shoulder at Kakashi, usually he kept Genma occupied around her
but he started a conversation with Raidou instead, completely ignoring her.
“Out
to eat.” Hayate answered before walking around Genma, Sakura followed suit.
“Just the two of you?” He said to their backs. His little display was
drawing attention from the other group.
“Yes.”
Hayate said turning back. “Why?” Sakura was trying not to smile or blush too
much as Hayate calmly faced the other jounin.
“No
reason.” Genma said and rushed back to the couch practically sitting on
Kakashi’s and Raidou’s laps as he sat down.
As
Sakura made her way out with Hayate, Shizune broke away from the back of the
knot to practically run over to the men.
______________________________
“Sorry
about that…” Sakura started as they both settled down into a booth at a cozy
restaurant.
“For what? Genma?” Sakura shrugged
and nodded a little. “You know their gossiping about us right now. Does it
bother you?”
“Not
at the moment but I saw almost every female friend I have in that group before.
I’m going to get hell…” Sakura sighed but smiled a little as she went through
the faces that had turned towards them.
Hayate
watched her carefully. She didn’t really seem at all upset to him so he figured
she would just have fun with the constant questions they would probably hound
her with later.
“Why,
does it bother you?” Leaning forward across the table with a
wicked grin on her face.
“I
wouldn’t have asked you if it did.” He was rewarded with a big smile. “I just
wanted to say thank you as well. I realize how exhausting it must be…taking
care of me.”
Sakura
felt herself deflate a little. Maybe that’s all this was to him, just a thank
you friendly dinner. Not that she thought they were going to attack each other
physically afterwards but she felt stupid thinking he might have been
interested.
Hayate
saw something flick across her eyes as she leaned back a little and noticed his
mistake.
“That
was actually only partially true.”
“What?”
Sakura said with a little laugh.
“I
didn’t think you’d be interested so that was my back up explanation. I also
wanted to see that look on Genma’s face.” This brought a real laugh from her
and Sakura felt extremely better.
“Um…let’s
eat.” Hayate agreed and they ordered their food. She wasn’t sure she should
have been that happy about being used as some sort of prize between men.
______________________________
Coughing
into his hand as they walked Hayate looked around. Sakura was surprised he
could hold a conversation so easily for almost two hours while having to cough.
But she supposed he was used to it and never having heard him speak so much in
general she didn’t know what was normal for him.
“Where
are you going?” He asked finally.
“I’m
going home, why, where are you going?” It was nice not having to crane her neck
as much looking up at him as she usually did when talking to the other male jounin.
“I
was going to go get a drink.”
“Well,
have fun then.” He stopped but she kept walking.
“I
thought you would come with.” It pleased him to see how easily she came back to
him. “I would call it an early night but if neither of us was seen Genma would
get the wrong idea and hound me tomorrow.”
“You
could just lie and make up something spectacular.” She was completely serious.
Hayate
started to laugh and Sakura shivered pleasantly at how soft and low it sounded.
She was sure the night shadows quivered in sympathy, but Hayate didn’t seem to
notice.
“I
would never do that.” Sakura knew he was serious, he really didn’t seem to care
that much. “Don’t you have a reputation to maintain?”
“What
reputation would you be talking about Hayate?” She
wanted to know what he really thought about her. He noticed she’d stopped using
an honorific at the end of his name within the past half hour.
“Hmmm…”
“Forget
it. I think I need a drink.”
______________________________
“It’s
true!” Tenten hissed as she jabbed her elbow into Neji’s side.
“What?”
He said annoyed. He was trying to have a conversation with Kiba and Shino about
tracking when she decided to interrupt.
“Sakura’s
with Gekkou Hayate…They just kissed!” Kiba and Shino had leaned close to hear
what was so important but immediately whipped around
towards the door of the bar. “Oh no sorry, he was just whispering something to
her…I’ll be back.”
Tenten
went off in search of Hinata since she had only seen her a
moment before and Neji trailed after her. All the while
keeping an eye on the bobbing pink hair of Haruno
Sakura.
“Hinata
they just walked into the bar!” Neji watched his cousin also whip around and
immediately locate the objects of discussion. Tenten watched with her for a
moment before they both sat down at the table Hinata was standing at.
“They
look nice next to each other. Do you think it was really a date?” Tenten nodded
furiously at Hinata.
“I’m
sure it was. You know what I heard about Gekkou?” Wide eyed, Hinata shook her
head and leaned closer to the older kunoichi. “I
heard he can-”
“Why
is she going out with Gekkou? Isn’t he a little old for her?” Neji cut in
quickly and calmly. He had no wish to hear what Gekkou Hayate could do and
couldn’t believe his little cousin wasn’t blushing.
“Only
eleven years and its one date. Little jealous Neji?” Tenten prodded as he sat
down at the table as well.
“No,
why would I be?” He looked cool but Hinata watched his eyes following Sakura’s
progress.
“Oh
no reason, only that she just went out on a date with you a week ago and
refuses to go out on another one.”
“That
wasn’t a date. She asked to train.” Tenten rolled her eyes. Even Neji who could
plan how to take over an entire village single handedly and probably do it was
a complete idiot sometimes.
“Yeah
and then you told me and Lee to come train as well. Then proceeded to kick
Sakura’s ass and critique her every move.”
“I
was helping her with her technique.” He said a little defensively.
“Oh
Neji-niisan…” Hinata shook her head at him sadly, like he’d made some huge faux
pas.
Unable
to take another moment of their disappointed eyes he went of in search of male
company that probably wouldn’t accuse him of being an idiot.
At
that moment Shizune was dragged over to their table by Ino who immediately went
back to the most important topic.
“Holy
shit you will not believe what Shizune just told me. Did you know that Gekkou
Hayate can...” Ino made some hand gestures near
certain parts of her anatomy as she whispered furiously to Hinata.
“Is,
is that really possible? Without chakra?” Hinata was
blushing now but she also looked extremely impressed.
“Wait,
I didn’t hear the no chakra part. I thought it was
impressive with chakra use, I hear that’s really hard to learn.” Tenten said
looking to Shizune.
“Of
course it’s possible, what about men who can’t use their chakra?” Shizune said
looking at the young women around her wishing she had kept her mouth shut.
“Do
you think Sakura knows?” Hinata said as she activated her byakugan
and looked through the crowd. Ino snorted and waved her hand knowingly.
“Oh,
she knows. Why do you think she’s hangin’ on to him
and refuses to come over and talk to us?”
“I’m
pretty sure that’s how you would think and not what Sakura’s actually thinking
Ino.” Tenten said sighing at the overly open blonde.
“You’ve
got a point.” Nevertheless Ino went off in search of someone else to share her
newfound knowledge with.
______________________________
“It’s
already started.” Sakura commented as she watched Tenten. Hayate followed her
gaze and stopped walking.
“Do
you want to leave?”
“That
would make for interesting talk…” Sakura said experimentally, watching for his
reaction.
“Then
I think we should stay.” Hayate said. “Or you could just go over and talk to
them if you’d like.” He was giving her leave to spend the rest of her night
without him.
Sakura
squeezed his upper arm, his flesh was firm under her grip and she decided to
hang on.
“No
I’d rather stay here.” He nodded and walked them to a table where Genma was
waving them over.

Good
lord it’s been over 2 weeks since I updated. You’re definitely allowed to hate
me now.
Shannaro – Doesn’t exactly translate to anything. Usually
subbed/scanlated as ‘damn it’. Mostly Sakura
says it when she’s pissed off/frustrated, e.g. Inner Sakura says it a lot I
believe.
Senpai/sensei – I don’t use honorifics randomly if I can help it.
Sakura refers to Kakashi as both sensei and senpai
since he’s technically not her teacher anymore. Senpai – Literally, someone who
entered before oneself; in a work place, school or any professional setting.
You see it subbed often as ‘upper-classman’ in high school based anime and
sometimes shows up as sempai.
