By the time their little act had finished, Sakura's nerves were less apparent, much to her delight and surprise.

While Kakashi was furthering the conversation with the kindly woman, Sakura had suddenly looked around, not wanting to forget that they were on the lookout for anything odd or questionable. She wondered if it would be possible to inquire about anything of that nature. Before she could try and intervene, a man came out to rescue his own babbling bubbly wife The conversation continued and soon Kakashi brought up the thing she had been meaning to. In a way, she was relieved since they could refocus themselves but at the same time, it was funny that the couple had thought of the same thing. You know what they say about great minds thinking alike. If Sakura didn't know any better though, she may have considered her and the silver haired male beside her, to be compatible companions.

As Kakashi and the man continued to talk, the woman was already writing down the instructions for the recipe. [color=f6989d][b]"Thank you so much."[/b][/color] Sakura smiled to her and took it once it had been handed to her. Sakura's green eyes scanned the writing. Though she wasn't just being polite, the cake had been really really good and she decided it could be fun to bake it and bring some to Kakashi sometime. While the whole experience was unusual, she was sure that they could continue to train together and soon laugh about the misunderstanding. Eventually they were finally able to get up and depart back to the Inn. Sakura was tired and looking forward to the rest. She shook the lady's hand and then looked to Kakashi. Even when he had been talking with the husband and trying to obtain information, she had been carefully keeping one ear on them. The description sounded a lot like someone they both knew. Small flashing lights were going off in her own head.

For now, their charade was nearly over.

Sleep was calling their name.

But Kabuto was too, it seemed...

[color=f6989d][b]"Good night, thank you again!"[/b][/color] She cheerfully bid farewell to the two and headed off with Kakashi, their hands still clasped together. Upon them making their escape into the cool night, Sakura felt her shoulders relax slightly. Of course with the possible tip that Kabuto was probably working with Taro, very little relaxing could be done. Even so, she was sure they needed to act with even more caution but also urgency. Kakashi Sensei then mentioned she could hold onto him if she was cold. It was a bit chilly out and his gesture was nice enough that she saw no reason to decline. [color=f6989d][b]"I picked quite the gentleman."[/b][/color] The ninja joked a little as they continued back toward where they were staying for the night. Nearing the establishment, the girl pocketed the scrap of paper the woman had given her with the recipe on it and glanced to Kakashi. 

In her mind, nothing really needed to be said as they headed up to their room. On the way, she removed herself from his arm as there was no longer a need to rely on his body heat to keep her warm. The door was unlocked, the room was deemed safe and secure so they got ready for bed. Sakura decided not to change for the night though. She sat on the bed and removed her shoes and began to shift through her pack. She took out a clean dress for the next day and also slipped the paper away for safe keeping. Sakura brushed out her hair and felt her eyelids beginning to sink with heaviness. [color=f6989d][b]"Do you think Kabuto is behind all of this?"[/b][/color] She finally asked, which also meant Orochimaru was also some way involved. Her mind went to Sasuke and how he had left Konoha to seek out the snake Sannin. [color=f6989d][b]"Why would he be though...?"[/b][/color] He knew more than her on the intricacy of their mission but also the new found risks as well.

It wasn't the most wonderful of topics to end the day on but she had to ask, otherwise sleep would be impossible.
