Prologue

It was the same as always in Konoha. Blue sky, birds chirping, and sun shining. On a grassy hillside, lay Shikamaru watching the clouds pass him by, when all of a sudden, "WHAAAATTTTTTTTT??!!"

"Troublesome." Shikamaru muttered.

Ch. 1: WTF?!

Naruto, Sakura, even Sasuke and Kakashi were stunned at what Tsunade had just said to them. Naruto was the first one to break the silence. "Whatdaya mean Tsunade-sama?"

Tsunade sighed and started rubbing her temples. She was pissed off that morning and Naruto's natural stupidity wasn't helping. She started AGAIN.

"You, Sasuke, Sakura, and Kakashi will be going on a mandatory vacation. And No, you can't refuse. You guys have been pulling too many high-ranked missions and I'm afraid your bodies will collapse on you from all the stress. Don't look at me like that, Sasuke. Your vacation is two months long. If you really hate the idea, just think of it as a mission. Oh. Before I forget, you can't bring anyone with you because the place I chose doesn't have enough room for more people. NO ARGUMENTS!"

Sasuke was about to object when Tsunade sent him a glare with murderous intent and he knew she meant it. Needless to say, he shut up. Even he was scared of Tsunade when she was mad, worse if she had a hangover. Luckily, it was just because of paperwork today.

Kakashi got his nose out of his hentai book and scanned the room. Naruto was at the back of room sitting, Sakura was staring out the window, obviously not paying any attention, and Sasuke was leaning against a wall, sulking. Kakashi smiled under his mask and asked, "So, when do we leave?"

Sakura continued to let her mind wander. 'Kakashi is taking this pretty well. I should be happy, I'm going on vacation. Besides, it's not everyday you get forced into going on a vacation with your friends.'

"Sakura…."

Sakura snapped out of her reverie. "Huh?"

Kakashi smiled at her. "Tsunade excused us. We can leave now."

"Oh." She pushed herself off the windowsill and followed Sasuke and Naruto, leaving Kakashi to bring up the rear and exited Hokage tower.

'Everyone sure has changed.' Kakashi thought. 'Naruto sure has calmed down a lot, although, his rivalry with Sasuke is still as strong as ever.'

Naruto had gotten taller, fleshed out, and his hair was grown out and in a ponytail with his bangs framing his face. Sasuke also changed over the years. He managed to lighten up after killing Orochimaru and Itachi. He seemed happier, if not the same brooding bastard we all know and love.

'Guess completing one of his lifelong goals would make him happier, if only on the inside. I guess he realized if he actually smiled and laughed in public, the village would go into shock and his fan club would never leave him alone.'

'Yeah, like if you didn't wear your mask for a day. Gai would never shut up, as if he wasn't already bad enough.'

He sighed and peered over the top of his book. 'Sakura…..'

Sakura had developed quite nicely over the years. She had great curves and had grown taller, although, she was still shorter than her six-foot-something teammates. Not that she really cared. Her pink hair had grown too. It was now the same length as it was when she was in the academy. She was one of the hottest women in Konoha, although, that wasn't her greatest accomplishment. She had matured greatly mentally and emotionally. She calmed down greatly and was hitting Naruto less (but that doesn't mean she stopped). She still showed her emotions and lit up a room up with her smile. She also was one of the best medic-nins in the world, surpassing Tsunade.

'Of course, Team 7 was full of talented people, if not slightly…strange.' He thought. He was still staring at Sakura's back. 'Her eyes are still her best feature, regardless of what everyone else says.'

'Yeah, but not her only one.'

'Yeah…Hey, wait. Who are you?'

'Oh, sure, notice me now. I'm the inner you. It's like a conscience, but cooler. Everyone has one. Jeez, and I thought you were smart.'

'Who asked you?!'

'No one. Man, Sakura sure is good-looking. Betcha want to take her in the grass right now…'

Kakashi blushed under his mask, luckily no one noticed. 'Dammit, I think I've had too much Icha Icha. Wait, did I just think that?'

'Yup. Come on! She's single and you're single. What's the problem?'

'The problem is that I'm thinking of having sex with my student in the grass. Besides, I'm too old for her.'

'Stop exaggerating, you're only 37. Besides, she's your ex-student.'

'I'm not going to ruin her reputation and possibly her life just because I can't control my urges. I love her too much to hurt her.'

'Did I just hear LOVE?'

'NO!'

'Yup, I did! So go on.'

'Didn't you listen to our conversation? At all?'

'Nope. So why not ask her out?'

'She's too young, besides, she probably doesn't feel the same way. Even if she says she's over Sasuke.'

'That was 5 years ago, but I'll let it slide for now, cuz she's calling your name.'

"KAKASHI!"

He snapped out of his space out session and looked down to see Sakura. "Huh?"

'Finally,' she thought. She sighed. "I've been asking you for the past few minutes about what Tsunade told us. I spaced out after she yelled at Sasuke and I need you to tell me what I missed. Sasuke and Naruto left before I could ask them."

Kakashi mentally sighed out relief. He thought she saw him staring at her. His gaze trailed down to her lips. 'I wonder how they taste. No. Bad thoughts. Go away.' Unfortunately, while scolding himself, his gaze dropped to her V-neck blue T-shirt. 'She really has grown up.' he thought pervertedly.

"Kakashi?"

He snapped his gaze up and thanked Kami that she just thought he spaced again. "Oh, yes. We leave tomorrow at nine at the west gate. We're going to a small town about 120 km from here. Tsunade reserved two rooms at an inn that has an indoor bath and pool. Just bring some clothes, a swimsuit, and the other stuff you bring on vacation. Oh, bring some shuriken in case we get attacked, cash, and a lunch because I don't think we'll pass a restaurant on the way."

"Sure, oh and sensei."

'I guess old habits die hard. I told them to stop calling me that, but I guess they got so used to calling me sensei that it seems weird to call me by name only,' Kakashi thought.

"Try not to be late."

"But, of course."

"Please. I'm serious."

He smiled, and nodded. Two poofs were heard and they were gone from the village square.
