Surprised

Kakashi thought that for once he would be early to alerting his team to a mission rather than waiting until the day after it had started. During his trek through the city earlier that day (aka: reading Icha Icha Paradise), he had found Naruto and Sasuke and informed them of what was going on. As such, he was pretty sure he was obligated to tell Sakura. So maybe he had told the boys over dinner. Now was better late than never. Never mind that it was nearly two in the morning by the time he remembered his third team member and the early riser was probably fast asleep. It was his duty as team leader to keep her up-to-date with the mission status.
The apartment complex she lived in was mostly dark, including the lights in her own space. So he decided not to ring her doorbell lest the neighbors wake up and wonder what a full-grown man was doing at her apartment so late at night. It was easy enough to slip inside, but it was far darker than outside. His hand fumbled against the wall looking for a switch, but he stopped as he felt the cool edge of a kunai against his throat.
“I recommend you leave with you head while you can.” My she sure didn’t sound please to see him
“Sakura, Sakura, it’s just me, Kakashi.”
Even though she probably couldn’t see him, he lifted his hands plaintively before him. The dagger eased away from his neck. “What are you doing sneaking into my apartment this late?” Her voice was still dark and suspicious.
“I just came by to tell you about…you know, it’s awfully dark in here. Mind if I turn on the light?”
He felt her move away and heard a slightly murmur of approval. His hand skimmed her wall until he found the light switch. He slowly blinked as his eye adjusted to the sudden brightness. Smiling pleasantly, he spoke up, “I was just stopping by to tell you about a mission we’ll be leaving on tomorrow night.”
As his vision adjusted, Kakashi slowly opened his eye, and then promptly blinked at Sakura. It seemed she was only in her pajamas. His gaze slowly skimmed her curves, taking them in with an appreciative smile. The pink-haired girl narrowed her eyes suspiciously at him before looking down at herself. Realization hit her hard. With a squeal she stomped off to her room and slammed her door. “KAKASHI-SENSEI, YOU PERVERT!” she shouted from her room.
Smiling to himself he turned. So Sakura slept in just a camisole and a pair of underwear. He stroked his chin thoughtfully as he showed himself out. It was such a lovely shade of red on her. This thought kept him company as he returned to his house. The jounin had already gotten ready for bed before he remembered that he hadn’t really informed Sakura of the mission details. Oh well, he could always fill her in after it had started.
