One month. That's how long it was before Sakura saw Kakashi again. She had just gotten out of work, her feet were tired, her clothes were smeared with the blood of her last operation, and half of her hair had fallen out of her ponytail.
He was heading out on a mission, rested from a two day break, clean right down to his sandals, and hair in perfect disarray.
She tried to avoid him, but her feet had other plans and when she called out to him, she silently cursed. When had her mouth grown a mind of its own.
"Sakura, long day at the hospital?"
"Unbearably so."
"I heard from Genma about what the lock down at the hospital a few weeks back."
"Oh, yeah, well we were just lucky we could limit the disease to the hospital."
"I didn't know Sakura. That night at the bar, that woman, I thought. . .I thought when you didn't show up in Sunahama that it was over."
"I understand Kakashi, it was just casual anyway. You should get going on your mission, wouldn't want to keep your teammates waiting would you." She smiled, willing him to let it go.
"Yeah, I guess." Finally he turned and walked away, she watched him, she couldn't resist.
"But Sakura, when I get back, I'd like to see you." The words were spoken quietly, he didn't even turn around to see her reaction, if he had he would have noticed her eyed widen slightly. She nodded. And this time when he started walking away, she scrambled in the opposite direction.
Two weeks. On the fourteenth day since Kakashi left on his mission. Sakura woke up early, she woke up warm, she woke up in the arms of Kakashi. It was Saturday, she had taken the day of in hopes of avoiding him when he reported to lady Tsunade. And here he was in her bed, stealing her covers, cuddling up to her with his nude body.
"Morning Sakura."
"What are you doing here Kakashi?"
"I told you I wanted to see you when I got back, but you were already sleeping so I thought I would join you."
"Wow, you jumped right into my bed as soon as you got back and didn't even wake me up for sex. To what do I owe the honor?"
He rolls over, pining her beneath him. He wants to see her, to be looking into her eyes, there would be no confusion this time.
"I want to do things differently than our last relationship Sakura. I tried to change things. I wanted us to be more than just a casual relationship."
"I didn't know. Kakashi are you sure you want to do this, everyone will know."
She feels his lips graze hers as he say, "I'm sure." And then they settle on hers, their passion quickly reignited. It had been too long since he last touched her. And his fingers danced their way down her body, between her thighs.
Sliding her nightgown off her body, they met once again flesh to flesh. Tongues tangled as they fought to be closer and closer together. Kakashi's mouth moved down her neck, lingered our her nipples and continued their downward path. Until they found her, lavished her, until she cried out his name in pleasure.
Bringing his lips back to hers, he forced her to taste herself on his tongue and she loved every minute of it. And when finally, finally they came together, moved together, she arched, shuttered and tried desperately to hold on to her sanity as she met Kakashi thrust for thrust. But his movements became erratic and all sense of lucidity flew out the window when he plunged one last time and collapsed on top of her.
He rolled to the side, pulling her to his chest.
"I've missed you." He mumbled into her hair.
