You know, I have always fancied that Sakura's family situation screwed her up in a different way than either Sasuke or Naruto. Because just because your parents are together doesn't mean everything is hunky-dory, and I like the symmetry of two orphans, one who is hated and one who is beloved of Konoha, and one team mater who had a 'normal' childhood and all of them having scars from how they were raised.
People seem to brush her off since she's had the the happiest childhood of all of Team 7
Which is just damning with faint praise, right there. ^_^
And I have no doubt that Sakura could be just as messed up with relationships as Kakashi, mainly out of fear of making the same mistakes that she made with Sasuke and getting hurt. In this fic, I see her being so terrified of falling for someone who doesn't love her again that she can't take a chance, and Kakashi totally NOT HELPING by not giving her a clear 'yes, I care and am interested in having a relationship with you' signal.
