Summary: "Even jounin like you need a medic nin's accompaniment for some missions- If it weren't for me healing that gash on your thigh, you'd be crawling your way home right now." "..." "What?" "..So you wouldn't carry me back to Konoha?" "You pervert!"
"You know Sakura, you really could have handled it better."
"I know, I know."
"I mean, it could have been an easy defeat.. Had you kicked instead of punched-"
"I get it Kakashi-sensei."
"Which makes me wonder, are you getting rusty Mrs. Haruno? Holing up in the hospital instead of focusing on the field."
"Well that's food for thought isn't it?"
"It really is quite sad that you've been neglecting your poor old sensei for Tsunade-sama now. By any chance do you like her more than me?"
"Whatever Kakashi, if you really mind that I'm spending so much time working with the medic nin, remind me not to use my newfound skills to heal you."
"Snarky."
"..The sun's rising. Damnit, there's no way we can get back by seven for mission reports."
"It's only six o' clock."
"But we're no where near Konoha."
"..And?"
"And if you're late again Tsunade-shishou said that she will personally shove her rusty tanto up your a-"
"I see where you get your violent demeanor from."
"You know what? I.. I am not speaking to you for the rest of the trip back."
"Perfect, now you can't interrupt when I say that you're falling behind on your tai-jutsu techniques- Your execution is horrible, and while you are quite skilled in nin-jutsu you fail at choosing the right ones. It seems that your fighting style would be rather lackluster if it wasn't for your chakra punches.. Which reminds me, you should have kicked that rogue back there instead of exerting all that extra chakra."
"Are you done complaining? It's not like I don't want to train more, I just don't have time. You know how many civilians come to the hospital requesting for me to take out splinters? It's ridiculous."
"And yet you choose the medical field instead of the action and excitement of real missions."
"It's just temporary! And even jounin like you need a medic nin's accompaniment for some missions. Plus, if it weren't for me healing that gash on your thigh, you'd be crawling your way home right now."
".."
"..Why did you stop walking?"
".."
"What's wrong?"
"..So is that to say that you wouldn't have carried me back to Konoha?"
"You pervert!"
"Well I just thought that a trip back home in a pretty girl's arms is reasonable penance for four years of training."
"Four years minus all the hours you've been late and the days you forgot we even had practice. And did you say I was pretty?"
"What?"
"You said, 'in a pretty girl's arms', so you think I'm pretty?"
"Did I say that? Maybe you were just hearing things."
"But- Whatever Kakashi-sensei!"
"Aw, don't go and sulk now."
"I can not take another hour of walking back to Konoha with you."
"Fine, then how about we use some transportation scrolls?"
"..What?"
"What what?"
"You have transportation scrolls and you choose to tell me now?"
"Well if you were more familiar with nin-jutsu you would know this simple B-ranked way to produce one- Here, take that."
"But- Kakashi? ..You do not just poof out on me. UGH."
"-So as I was saying while you were still back at the Akusuma Border, you really need to train more."
"Okay I get it! If you feel this way you should have said something before this mission, geez."
"But before this mission I forgot about how nice it was to be with you."
"What..?"
"You heard me, and now I think we should be on our way to the Hokage's tower for mission reports?"
"Yeah I guess."
"And then after we'll set up a date for training practice?"
"A-a date?"
"For training practice."
"O-okay.."
"Good girl."
