NOTHING OUTSIDE YOURSELF CAN CAUSE YOU ANY TROUBLE.

YOU YOUR SELF MAKE THE WAVES IN YOUR MIND.

IF YOU LEAVE YOUR MIND AS IT IS, IT WILL BECOME CALM.

The constant thrum of the ceiling fans penetrated the atmosphere peacefully, a tune so rhythmical that it almost lulled our pinkette into another slumberous haze. Aside from the aches in her youthful joints pulsing to a thunderous ditty, her investigations into what ever miniscule information the Leaf had managed to salvage on Danzo's foundation was paramount; no thanks to Madara's previous pounding in what should have been a harmonious coupling between them two.

Their love making the morning prior had progressed from a compound need for companionship towards a more profound union, creating a suffocating air of lust and decades long lonliness on the former tyrant's part. Their argument earlier today hadn't helped in the slightest either for it had managed to strip away what ever tiny ounce of energy she'd doggishly struggled to retain.

His refusal to divulge what little information he had on their unannounced voyeur as one can imagine, contributed tremendously towards their yet to be considered brief discord, a no minor issue by all means, however, their impermanent standstill took to the back burners of her mind temporarily.

This hasty conclusion steemed from that incessant niggling sensation Sakura had taught to be wary of; an unsystematic ability her entire team had forged into their beings from their Genin days. Call it a part of their aptitude training but Sakura's instincts were on full alert since she'd share that precognitive vision with her two other rebirthed siblings.

Thus brings us to where we are now, with her killing the hours away in the far corners of the council's private library; a highly secretive division exclusively used only by those that dabbled in the inner workings of all three protective sectors, the Hokage, the Councils and lastly, top Anbu operatives. And since herself as well as every member of team seven were considered a part of all three sectors, the boundries set upon their private investigations were limitless.

"Had enough?"....

"Not nearly, though I'm becoming a bit lethargic"... Sakura responded warily. Her shoulders slouched, foretelling signs of her defeat against tiredness. Kakashi thoroughly understood her viewpoint, from the expressions in her posture to more private reasons behind her sudden loss of strength; a secret he'd  happened upon because of his own fucking pryful nature. Call it a sour reminder of Madara's over inflated ego and jealousy, if you will.

"Well then thats it for the day. Its almost dinner time, have any plans?".

"None whats so ever"

"Good", the copy-nin noted with that customary eye crease. "Lets garb something from Ichiraku if you're up for Soba tonight"

"Not eating with Nars and Yondaime-sama?"

"Not in the mood", he responded dryly. "Besides, their having family bonding time with Karin-chan"... Sakura's understanding came in the form of a quieted nod; a customary response Kakashi knew by heart. Obviously she read him like an open book, choosing not to pry any further. Perhaps this be the reason he held her company in such high regards, not to mention she was his favourite student as well.
