"Are you sure Pakkun?" Kakashi looked at the store in front of him cautiously, "It doesn't seem like her kinda place."
"Are you doubting my nose?" although Pakkun was perturbed that Kakashi was second guessing hem, he had to admit this was the last place he'd ever think to look for the pink-haired kunoichi.
"I'd never dream of it, but," he trailed off not wanting to think about the place he was about to enter in search of his ex-student. He sighed, "Mine as well get this over with."
"Ladies first," not even bothering to glare Kakashi looked at the sign one last time before entering. 'Never been in Bedroom Pleasures before.'
When Kakashi crossed the threshold of the store he found himself submerged in a sea of scantly clad manikins. Ever glad of his mask, Kakashi went about looking for his ex-student hoping to Kami-sama that he didn't find her in an 'outfit' sexy enough to give him a very embarrassing nose bleed. That's about the time he got wind of a very interesting conversation.
"What are you talking about, Sakura? Any self respecting man would drool like an idiot over that thing!"
"But, Ino, this makes my butt look HUGE!"
Kakashi stopped in his tracts, Pakkun doing the same. He was pretty sure that the scene before him would forever be burned into his memory. There Sakura was in front of a tri-fold mirror wearing something very worthy of a nose bleed, in fact he was in fear that he really had one. Black leather definitely suited her. Her corset and boy's shorts underwear were both made of it and for added 'umph' they looked as though someone had made it their personal mission to cut them to shreds with scissors. To accompany them she wore black knee-length, high heels and long black gloves across her hands. He was seeing more of her than he ever thought he would.
"Kakashi!" Sakura squealed trying to cover herself when she noticed his presence.
"Oh good Kakashi-san, please tell her that her butt looks perfect in this," Ino said as causally as she would say what she had had for breakfast, "Sakura he won't be able to get the whole picture if you keep covering yourself!" she protested with a coy smile, batting at her hands.
"Kakashi turn around!" Sakura demanded having flushed bright red, "You too Pakkun," she added as she saw that the dog was staring at her as well.
"Why are you yelling at me? He's the pervert," Pakkun huffed turning to Kakashi, "Though I have to thank you for bringing me along, this is very entertaining."
Sakura growled when she heard Ino stifle a laugh and Kakashi a awkward cough, "What the heck are you doing here Kakashi?" while is still felt weird to call him by only Kakashi, he had insisted on it after the second year she was a Jonin.
Kakashi's head shifted to the side to look at her from his turned around position answering her question in his usual aloof voice, "Tsunade-sama sent me out to find you because we have a mission. When I didn't find you at your house or the training grounds I got Pakkun to sniff you out," he paused before adding, "Besides, it's not my fault you picked now to look the part of a sex kitten, a very convincing one I might add." Of course he only said this because he wanted to see her flush red again which she promptly did. That is until what he said first caught in her mind.
Apparently forgetting her current lack of clothing, Sakura stepped away from the mirrors and closer to him to find out more, "We have a mission?"
Kakashi sighed as he turned around seeming as unaffected as he could, "Yes, I was just in her office."
Sakura snorted, "That would explain why she wanted me to buy this at the village's expense."
Kakashi's brows furrowed over his visible eye. While he was somewhat glad she wasn't buying this outfit-if you could call it that- for some snot-nosed guy this did give him a better guess as to what this mission might entail.
Catching his thought process Sakura's mouth dropped, "No way! Not happening! I don't do those kinds of missions!"
"Come now, we have no idea what this mission is so don't jump to conclusions. Besides for all we know Tsunade-sama could be just randomly treating you to something because of all your hard work," he said smiling.
She cocked an eyebrow, "Have you ever known her to be so generous?" she had a very valid point.
"Kakashi, as much as I'm enjoying the view, if you have no further need of me I should be getting home," Pakkun interrupted.
"Hai, Hai," was his answer scratching his ears, "Thank you."
"Speaking of leaving, Sakura, I have a date to prepare for," Ino said with a wink, "Well, tell me how it works out 'kay, Forehead?"
"Sounds good, Pig, thank you," she replied once again becoming aware of he clothing situation. Turning back to Kakashi she averted her eyes, "Wait till I change then we can head out," He simply nodded his head as she turned back to the dressing rooms still blushing.

It had taken almost 7 whole minutes just to get out of the abomination of an outfit. It got to the point were she- swallowing her pride- had to ask Kakashi to try and pry the tight gloves off. To this she received a set of dark chuckles but a nod nonetheless. By the time she was done changing and paying the sun had begun to set.
Their walk to headquarters was silent but not in anyway awkward. When they finally got to the doors Sakura hesitated, "Why do I have a feeling I'm really gunna hate this mission?"
Kakashi stepped forward opening the door for her. "Aw, cheer up blossom you get to work with me. How bad can it possibly be?" He had a point. It had been ages since the last time they had worked together.
She of course wasn't going to admit this so she just scoffed, "Don't flatter yourself, Kakashi."
He gave her a look of mock hurt as they started down the corridor, "What, you don't like working with me now?"
"No, what I meant was that sometimes your ego is beyond compare. And considering were we live that's pretty bad," she retorted.
Once again faking hurt he sighed, "People just don't understand me sometimes."
Before she could shoot back a smart remark he opened the door to Tsunade's office, "Hullo, Tsunade-sama."
"Kakashi," she greeted looking up from her desk of over flowing paper work, "Ah, Sakura, in case Kakashi failed to inform you, you both have a mission."
"Yay," was the grunted response. Then catching sight of her bag she figured she should get it over with, "I'm going to have to wear this thing on the mission aren't I?" she asked holding up the bag.
Tsunade sighed, "Yes, but there's two huge up sides that should more than make up for it though."
To this her ears perked up a bit, "Tell me more."
"Well first off this is a very important S-ranked mission. And secondly you'll be in command," Tsunade said as causally as possible but it was hard not to notice the large smile spread across Sakura's face and a very prominent frown under Kakashi's mask.
"Really?" she squealed. Then half turning to Kakashi to make sure he heard, "I'm in command of Kakashi?" Maybe this wouldn't be so bad.
"Tsunade-sama, would it be wrong of me to ask why I'm under Sakura's command and not the other way around?" His ego wasn't bruised, nope not Kakashi's.
"Yes, many, which I'll happily explain," Tsunade said giving him the there's-no-talking-your-way-out-of-this look.
"Two days ago one of Fire Country's most wealthy Lords, Lord Hadiko, told us of a business proposition a man by the name of Conriu Takayda, gave him. According to Lord Hadiko Takayda wants his financial and military support in a business venture."
"Military?" Kakashi asked already not liking what he was hearing.
"Yes," she continued, "The venture has to do with the forming of another village. Lord Hadiko is solely loyal to us thus why we even have this information. Sakura, your mission is to pose as Lord Hadiko's delicate in the negotiations. We have his consent and the numbers you could pose to use. I need you to get as much information as possible. If at all possible I'd like to nip this 'village' in the butt," from here she turned to Kakashi, "You sir, I am entrusting Sakura's life," to this he raised an eyebrow, "You'll be posing as her bodyguard."
"Since when do I need a bodyguard?" Sakura fumed.
"That's not the only reason he's going," Tsunade tried to explain, "I'd worry about you up there with out someone to keep you safe. Besides he might have useful tips when it comes to tough situations."
Knowing she was second guessing something that made her very happy she asked, "Humor me Tsunade-shishou, if he has more experience, then why isn't he in command?"
"I was about to ask that myself," Kakashi quipped.
Tsunade sighed, "Because Lord Hadiko had to answer right away and without knowing what we were going to do he said that his political adviser Murcado Yumi was going to go. While they don't know her name, the do know she's female. Thus Sakura's is in charge of the mission. Fair enough?" Both nodded, "Good, Shikamaru is in 302 A. Meet him up there to go through the steps. And I don't think I have to say this but for the record I will, make sure that no one finds out you're connected to Konaha."
They nodded and turned to leave. That's when Sakura remembered I very important question. She turned back to Tsunade as she asked, "Tsunade-shishou? Why did I have to buy this outfit?"
Tsunade smirked, "I said get as much information as you can," she paused, " That includes using your body as a means."
Frowning even more Kakashi drug the now gawking Sakura to the door, "Till next time, Tsunade-sama."
