"It's perfect!" Sakura had just finished making Kakashi his birthday cupcake. It was chocolate with delicious buttercream icing and a perky black forest cherry on top. She knew he didn't like massive amounts of sugar, but he did indeed love sweets.

She had also gotten him two wonderful presents that she thought he would love. One was a rather large box, wrapped in silver and gold stripes and a white bow. It had a new kunai set, (because he was running low and had destroyed most of his on missions and hadn't gotten any new ones), some edible body whipping cream (did you know they actually have some at Victoria's Secret? Learned that today I might add), and a picture of them sitting together under a cherry blossom tree. The other was a smaller box, about the size for a necklace (the long boxes I==I…anyway) wrapped up with baby blue paper, and a bow that had congratulations written on it. Inside was a thermometer like thing in the box. It had a small pink plus sign in the middle. If he didn't understand what that meant, then she would have to explain it in another way for his thick head to comprehend.

She placed the smaller box on top of the larger one, and the cupcake in front of them. She put up a little homemade sign that said happy birthday. She was able to get a balloon on her way home from work before the shop closed down for the night. It really was perfect for her. She started to remember the day when everyone had found out about them. They had been together for almost three years.

-flashback-

It was almost blown-out chaos when the village found out. Even Tsunade, her old team, the other Jounins and Anbu teams he had been friends with, (well lets just keep it at everybody) freaked out when they found out that they were dating! Of course Kakashi just laughed when the ENTIRE village found out and what he had to do to remain decent to them (and I mean he had to go in front of almost the entire village to do what Tsunade told him to - give an apology and never date her apprentice again). Kakashi, awkwardly, stood up scratching the back of his head and said three, rather short, sentences which made the entire village gasp in shock and awe; and feel rather embarrassed for stepping into their love life/relationship.

"I love Sakura Haruno with all my heart, and if you think dating a 20 year old considers me a perverted old man, than so be it." He glared down at them "and no one is going to change that." "Oh and by the way, I'm 26." He walked away, dragging a shocked Sakura behind him, as well as an entire village.

-End of Flashback-

She hadn't gotten done with her late-night shift at the hospital until 11:00. So she had stayed up all night waiting for him to come home from his A class mission. His birthday was two days away, but he had to leave the day after, so she thought they could have it earlier. That way he could sit back and relax for a few days, which meant mind-blowing sex for Sakura in those days.

It was around 12:45 and Kakashi wasn't back from his mission yet. Sakura was starting to get worried that something terrible had happened to him, that maybe something went wrong on the mission! Or maybe he was …

Then the door was sloppily opened and in came a waddling, and drunken Kakashi; booze bottle in hand, mask down, and his clothes covered with dirt, blood, alcohol, and some kind of weird pink ooz. She could only look at him in shock. She had never seen him drunk…ever! Even as she was growing up and up till now, she had never seen Kakashi literally drunk before.

"Wellll, how is my pretttaaaayyy little lady doing this fine morning? Hmmmm?" Kakashi started to chuckle lightly. Sakura lifted an elegant brow at the man before her.

"Kakashi, maybe you should sit down before you fall down?" Sakura started walking towards him, about to help him up.

"Don't touch me you arrogant whore! How dare you think you can be with the all masterful Kakashi Hatake! You can't give me orders like I'm your slave!" Kakashi had a dark look in his eye pointing rudely at her, which Sakura hadn't seen before with him.

He was definitely not a nice drunk at all.

"Well look you all masterful asshole! You have to get to bed before you get a huge hangover!" She started getting closer again which only caused Kakashi to give her an infuriated growl.

"What did I tell you about touching me girl! Try that again and you'll pay for your insolence!"

"Come on Kakashi you don't know what your saying, and probably how your feeling isn't the best! So just come lay here on this nice soft bed so you feel better…"

"STOP GIVING ME ORDERS WOMAN! AND I DON'T HAVE FEELINGS! I HAVE ALL THE FEELINGS IN THE WORLD!" He sloshed at least half his bottle of sake on the floor.

"Please Kakashi, I just want what's best for you and –"

Her explanation was cut short when Kakashi through his sake bottle at and unprepared Sakura, causing her upper torso to be cut, some more deeply than others. Sakura cried out in pain grabbing onto her arm that had the worst of the damage.

"I told you" he said in a dark voice "that you would pay for your insolence if you try that again, now didn't I? Now get the hell out of my house!"

Sakura couldn't breathe, or believe what had just happened! It took her a few seconds to register that she had better leave before things got worse. She headed for the door but slipped on the sake spilt earlier.

"What are you still doing their bleeding on my floor! And you have better clean up the mess your making!"

Sakura coughed hard for a few seconds, she wasn't feeling well at all; Kakashi wasn't making things any better.

"What are you doing there still on my floor? I told you to get out!" Kakashi recklessly walked over to Sakura pushing and breaking things onto the floor as he went. He pushed all the presents and cupcake to the floor. Suddenly, she was face to face with him; mere centimeters.

"Please Kakashi" she said quietly "I love you."

SLAP! He had hit Sakura across the face, lifted her by her underarm, and through her out the door, slamming the door closed. Sakura had hit the medal bars that were up against the ledge (he lived on the third floor of an apartment building). Sakura started crying extremely hard; coughing up a little blood. She had no where to go! She had left her apartment to live with Kakashi; his place was much bigger than hers. She never thought this would happen, but she had to leave. She couldn't face him again. Not now since he was drunk. She would let him come to her, it was his own damn fault for doing this to himself and her.

Sakura had enough money from this weeks paycheck to live at a motel for a few days. After that she might live with one of her friends.

"No I couldn't do that to them" She thought sadly, "I don't want to be a burden." She didn't no how long she had been walking for, but when she stopped she noticed a motel with a kind old man sitting at the desk reading a newspaper.

"Sir could I please have a room for a few days."

"Of course, there is an open – Oh my gosh! Are you all right?"

"Yes I'm fine sir."

"But you need to see a doctor!"

"I'll be fine sir, I promise. But I would really like a room please."

"Al-lright, but if you need any help just dial 7 in your room alright little lady?"

"Yes sir, thank you."

It was a small room, but cozy. There was a bathroom, a window, a kitchen area consisting of: a microwave, a mini refrigerator and a drink stand. There was a lonely cot with a moth eaten cover over it and an extremely small night stand with a haggard phone sitting on the table. There was one light build in the entire room, excluding the one in the bathroom; there was no cover over the bulb so it just hung down.

"Home sweet home…I guess" Sakura looked out the window hugging herself. She didn't even no which way Kakashi's apartment was, or even which direction she went in.

"Please remember tonight Kakashi, that way we can be together again for your birthday" Sakura thought sadly, slowly lying down on the rolled out cot, falling asleep.
