&o1 Comfort
He had forgotten when he started coming home from missions earlier than anyone expected; all he knew was that he craved for her warm hugs and kisses throughout the missions.
&o2 Kiss
She hadn't realized that her cravings had gotten worse in his absence; all she could think of was that fiery kiss he would give her when he returned.
&o3 Soft
She giggled in mirth when she saw the way he handled their baby girl with such gentleness that she wouldn't have thought he was a shinobi if she didn't know him.
&o4 Pain
Sakura could only shake her head and roll her eyes helplessly when she saw the way Kakashi feigned pain (to get Rin's attention); it never dawned upon her that he had done the same to her before.
&o5 Potatoes
It was a funny thing that Sakura was craving mashed potatoes while conceiving Obito - Kakashi was gleeful that he was given permission to test his newfound mashed potatoes recipe on Genma as much as he liked.
&o6 Rain
When Kakashi noticed that it was just a slight drizzle outside, he couldn't help being childish and pulled his lovely pink-haired wife out to dance in the rain.
&o7 Chocolate
Obito knew something was not right when he found out that the chocolate syrup he bought the other day was missing, and that his parents grinned knowingly at each other when he asked them.
&o8 Happiness
Kakashi and Sakura never believed in everlasting joy - until Obito and Rin came into their lives, and suddenly they just wished that they could live forever together.
&o9 Telephone
Kakashi usually never called after their dates and Sakura never bothered - until one day when he rang her up to tell her he was moving in with her; needless to say, she wasn't too bothered with that either.
&1o Ears
When he asked her what was his best feature (just to see her blush), she caught him by surprise when she said it was his ears - because he'll always listen to her ramblings and rants, regardless of the time.
&11 Name
Sakura didn't protest (she was secretly pleased) when Kakashi named their son Obito and their daughter Rin - she found out that they were named after his old teammates.
&12 Sensual
When he realized how sensual it was to hear her whispers, he decided that he wouldn't put up with it if she whispered (albeit innocently) in the ears of other men.
&13 Death
Kakashi sometimes wondered if that sexy swish of her hips or that mischievous, sexy smile of hers would be the death of him.
&14 Sex
When she saw the way he poked the tip of a kunai through the ring of another, she knew that her brilliant idea of leaving Kakashi to explain the birds and the bees to Obito was going down the drain.
&15 Touch
Kakashi, who was secretly thrilled whenever Sakura brushed slightly against his arm, had a hard time explaining why he choked to the other jounins.
&16 Weakness
Genma knew all along that Kakashi's soft spot for that female former student of his was going to cost him his bachelorhood - and he was right.
&17 Tears
Sakura was at a loss on what to do when she realized that she had brought out Kakashi's tears with her nervous admittance of how much she loved him (flaws and all), but was quickly comforted when she felt his naked lips on hers.
&18 Speed
Kakashi didn't realize just how fast and hard falling in love with Sakura had become, but he made up for it by giving her the fastest brush on the lips before she realized what he was doing.
&19 Wind
Sakura giggled when Ino told her in annoyance that Kakashi hung onto her like a leech, as though he was afraid she would be blown away by the wind if he let go.
&2o Freedom
Genma snorted in disbelief when Kakashi told him that he gave Sakura the freedom to choose any guy she wanted - he knew the man well enough to know that he meant the exact opposite.
&21 Life
They were an exceptional team: Kakashi's hands promised death to those that dared to endanger his loved ones; Sakura's hands promised life to him for such purpose.
&22 Jealousy
Sakura could hardly believe what she had done when she saw a clump of Ino's hair in her hands after she saw Ino flirting shamelessly with Kakashi.
&23 Hands
Kakashi knew that she would be his wife and mother of his children when she answered, without batting an eye, that his hands were his sexiest features.
&24 Taste
Sakura admitted begrudgingly that her former sensei and colleague certainly had impeccable taste in clothes after all, when she saw him dressed (breathtakingly) in a crisp, white shirt that accentuate his rippling muscles and boot cut black trousers for their first date.
&25 Devotion
While most would find it strange, Sakura found it endearing and assuring when she knew that Kakashi still went to the memorial to spend time with Obito although he was now a husband and father - it spoke volumes about his devotion to their family as well.
&26 Forever
As they kissed in front of their family and friends, they both came to a realization that forever was such a short period of time after all.
&27 Blood
Nobody dared to laugh in his face about the time Kakashi fainted when he saw the blood coming out of Sakura as she was in labor.
&28 Sickness
When Obito was first told by his parents that they were going upstairs to make more brothers and sisters for him (and not be disturbed at all), he found out that he could actually still get seasickness on land.
&29 Melody
Sakura's incoherent, sleepy mumbling and Obito's baby snores were to him an orchestra.
&3o Star
Kakashi laughed smugly to Pakkun when he told him that he needn't wish upon a star to get his wish granted, after all - it took his will, patience and cunning to get that Sakura to be his wife.
&31 Home
Suddenly, his apartment wasn't just a place to crash for the night anymore - it was home, and home was anywhere with Sakura waiting in bed for him.
&32 Confusion
Sakura found herself in wondering if maybe he had feelings for her when Kakashi blurted to her that she was the most beautiful woman he had come across; she was previously telling him that she sometimes envied the other girls as they were far more beautiful than she.
&33 Fear
Kakashi found himself a new fear, and it wasn't the fear of his death or the downfall of Konoha - it was the fear that Sakura might leave him as a dejected old man someday for a younger and inevitably, more pleasing man.
&34 Lightning/Thunder
Naruto likened Sakura and Kakashi to the lightning and thunder - Kakashi was lightning because he usually recovered fast from shocks and would attack first; Sakura was thunder because she would recover later from surprises and often yelled as she punched her enemies (or Naruto) to their deaths.
&35 Bonds
Hatake Rin was a little apprehensive when she saw her father coming home with nylon strings, and when she asked him what the strings were for, he only told her in an urgent voice that she was to drag Obito to Naruto's house for the whole day and come back when it was dinnertime.
&36 Market
When Sakura felt too lazy to get up or disentangle herself from Kakashi, she would call to Obito and Rin to walk to the marketplace and by their groceries - the poor kids dared not question her motives.
&37 Technology
Kakashi was grateful that Konoha had limited technology - without the fear of being caught by the house alarm, he could slip unnoticed into Sakura's house and wait for her return from the hospital with a bouquet of daisies.
&38 Gift
Tsunade accepted Kakashi and Sakura's excuse for being late to the mission briefing - she knew they would discreetly give her a crate of sake in return for her 'kindness'.
&39 Smile
Everyone knew the day Kakashi had proposed to Sakura for her hand in marriage - she was smiling throughout the day, even as she stitched Genma's wounds.
&4o Innocence
Kakashi wondered if he really was a depraved old man when he found out that Sakura's innocence (though she was already 21 years of age) was alluring bait as well as a turn-on to him.
&41 Completion
Sakura knew that the pieces had fallen into place when Kakashi finally confessed his love for her.
&42 Clouds
Kakashi found that having his head in the clouds over what Sakura would do to him when he returned was an exhilarating experience.
&43 Sky
When Ino asked just how much Sakura loved Kakashi, she had answered (much to the surprise of a certain silver-haired jounin who was eavesdropping) that the sky was the limit.
&44 Heaven
Kakashi knew that someone up there was terribly kind to let Sakura fall in love with him.
&45 Hell
Kakashi found himself almost giving up his Icha Icha Paradise because he didn't want to end up in hell whilst Sakura was in heaven when they died.
&46 Sun
To him, the sun shone as bright as Sakura's smile.
&47 Moon
To her, the moon shone as ethereal as the shine in his eye.
&48 Waves
They didn't expect the congratulations for their upcoming wedding to come in such huge waves as this.
&49 Hair
Kakashi kept a lock of her pink hair in a small locket and put it carefully in his pocket just before he left for the mission.
&50 Supernova
Obito knew that while his parents strove to be as inconspicuous as can be, their love was like a supernova just waiting for a time to explode and shower them all with little, little bits of affection.
