A/N: This is a new story of mine.
Tabu Sensei = Taboo Teacher, for those who didn't get it.
I don't own Naruto, just this idea.
Reviews are always welcome. If you want to see something, leave it in your review. For instance, if you want Lee running around village in only his underwear, because he thinks it'll help him train better, let me know!
Onward!
Sakura was standing in her kitchen doorway, staring at what was sitting on her table. It wasn't really a what but more of a who, even though this who wasn't human at all.
"So can I ask why you're covering my table with your fur, Pakkun?" she asked, setting her groceries next to the small Pug.
Pakkun, one of Kakashi's ninken, gave a small yawn, letting out a whine in the process. "Well, I ran out of my shampoo, and I was wondering if you had any that you would be willing to share?"
Sakura gave him a blank look, which he returned easily. They looked at each other for quite a while before she sighed. Pakkun was the master of blank expressions. There was no way to win a staring contest with him! "Fine! I'll get you a bottle!" She moved to the hall while shouting over her shoulder, "Only because I like you, and you're cute!"
Pakkun growled a little at that, and she laughed. He really didn't like being called cute, but she couldn't help it! He was really tiny, even for a Pug, and looked adorable!
She grabbed one of her many bottles of Minty Rain Forest Mist Shampoo. He was really lucky that she had so many bottles. Otherwise, she wouldn't be so lenient with giving him some.
Returning to the kitchen, she placed the bottle in front of him. He smiled, "Ooh... fifty percent more! Big bottle!"
Sakura nodded, "Yeah, so Kakashi sent you to me cause he didn't want to pay ten dollars, right?"
Pakkun sighed. She knew Kakashi so well that it was scary. "Yeah, he didn't really put it in those words, but that was the idea he came up with."
She shook her head. Kakashi was almost lazier than Shikamaru! He was a legend known as the Copy Ninja, which she believed was because he was too lazy to come up with his own jutsu. He was never on time for anything, which wasn't all that different from her Genin days, and he even refused to buy his own food and other objects, opting to come to her house instead for what he needed. Now he was too lazy to take care of his own ninken!
"Well, you're already here. I'm about to make dinner. Would like to stay?" she asked, turning to put her groceries away.
He yawned again. "Sure, if you really are okay with it. Why not?"
She pointed to the living room. "Go nap or something. You're going to collapse on the table, which I need to be dog free, so I can chop vegetables."
Pakkun stood and grabbed the bottle of shampoo with his mouth then hopped off the table to trot into the other room.
Sakura pulled out all the needed ingredients and set to work on making dinner. The rice steamer was put on a low setting, allowing her to work on other things. She planned on making a lot. She always made a lot. It was a necessity.
Pakkun came back into the room, claiming that he couldn't he couldn't sleep, "Why are you making so much food?"
Before she could answer, the actual answer burst through the door, "Sakura! You're making Tonkatsu!" Naruto smiled, sniffing the air before grinning even wider. "And Yakiniku!"
Naruto's head connected with the floor as Sasuke rounded the corner. "Idiot."
Pakkun nodded his head in understanding. "I get it. You were expecting company."
"Not really. It's just that every time I cook, they appear! Seriously! It started last year, and I've only just gotten used to it. Sai will walk in next, and Kakashi will appear on the window sill. It's like they have a radar that tells them when I cook. So I just make a lot of food," Sakura told him with an exasperated sigh.
Pakkun's laughter died down when Naruto took notice of him and plucked him up off the floor. "It's been a while, Pakkun!"
Sasuke ignored at both of them and sat at the table, getting comfortable. Not too long after that, Sai was stepping over Naruto to get into the kitchen. "Hello, ugly," he commented with a wave and a small real smile.
Sakura sighed at the nickname, annoyed at how it somehow stuck. Sai had come a long way from his first days on team seven. They all had, but Sai's upbringing made him a little different, and his change was a much larger and impressive one than even hers. He had been through alot, and after so much trying, he had finally been able to express his emotions without a problem. When he became comfortable with himself, he had called her beautiful, which for some reason made her very uncomfortable, so she suggested that he just keep calling her 'ugly'. He asked why, because he had finally understood that it was offensive, and she told him that she was used to it more and didn't want it to change. So he always gave her a small smile whenever he greeted her, to let her know that he was playing around.
Pakkun had finally gotten out of Naruto's grip and was, once again, sitting on the table. Sakura noticed how he sat closer to Sasuke, who was the furthest away from Naruto.
Sasuke's attitude made a much better person to be around these days. He had come back to Konoha three years ago and was put on trial. He got away with a year's probation, because he had killed so many S Class criminals. That had lessened his punishment, though the Elders weren't happy with it at all. Still, Lady Tsunade only made him wait a year before returning him to the roster.
Sakura was glad that everyone got along these days. Sasuke hadn't really been offended by the fact that Sai was his replacement and actually made a crack on how similar in appearance they were. Sasuke was introduced to Yamato, and he even apologised for running Yamato through with a blade that was charged with electricity. Yes, team seven was united once more, though all of them were currently at Jonin level or higher and were no longer an actual team. It held a sentimental feeling that none of them wanted to give up.
"Yo!"
They all turned to see the Legendary Copy Ninja sitting on the windowsill, just like Sakura had predicted.
She looked to Pakkun and made a gesture toward Kakashi. "See?! I have it all mapped out!"
Pakkun gave a throaty chuckle and stood to greet his master.
Kakashi looked up from his book to acknowledge his friend. "I assume that you're joining us for dinner?"
Pakkun snickered when Kakashi leaned to the side, dodging a stalk of celery that Sakura had thrown. "Yes, but unlike you, she actually invited me because I'm cute."
Kakashi huffed, "Sure." He gave the Pug a raised brow. "I can guarantee that I am much cuter than you. I thought that you hated it when people called you cute."
Pakkun looked over towards Sakura and smiled a little. "Well, sometimes it's okay."
When dinner had finished, everyone, except Pakkun, returned home. The ninken had decided to stay behind for a while.
Sakura plopped onto her bed, pulling out the notebook that she stashed between the mattress and the box spring. She flipped it open, grabbed a pen, and began writing.
Pakkun sat a couple inches away from her on the bed. He had known about her secret. The thing that no one, not even Ino knew. He was watching her as she wrote and finally asked, "Are you ever going to tell them?"
She paused in her writing to give him a horrified look. "Are you insane?!" she roared.
His little ears flinched back at the noise, and she sent him an apologetic smile. "Sorry, Pakkun. Anyway, do you know what they would do if they found out about this? I would be forever embarrassed," she explained.
Pakkun sighed, "I understand, but they are your friends. Maybe it wouldn't be as bad as you think."
She tapped the pencil against her lips and sighed, "Maybe I'll tell Sai. He doesn't go blabbing to the world about anything." It was true! Sai had once seen her without a bra on and never told a soul! She was expecting him to at least ask a question regarding women and their reactions to being caught naked, but he didn't! He never said a word, so she knew that he was trustworthy.
Pakkun nodded, "Good. Now what will this one be called?"
Kakashi walked along the busy streets of Konoha, reading his trusty Icha Icha Tactics. He was on his way home from Sakura's and was taking the scenic route. A large sign in his peripheral vision caught his full attention. Hanging on one of the biggest billboards in Konoha was an advertisement for a new romance series.
According to the billboard, the series was called Tabu, and the first book of the series had already sold over ten million. It said the fans were awaiting the arrival of the second book which was coming out in days, and that certain stores were having a special for the first ten buyers.
Kakashi considered the advertisement a little while longer before heading to his favorite book store. When he entered, he was greeted with the sight of Izumo and Kotetsu trying to barter with the shop owner to let them off the hook for something. When they saw him, they immediately gave up their argument to engage him in conversation, something he wasn't too thrilled about.
"Hey, senpai! What are you doing here?" Kotatsu asked.
Kakashi used it as an opportunity to see how well known the Tabu series was. "I came to ask the shop owner about the Tabu series."
That statement opened it all up. Izumo was smiling broadly, and Kotetsu was blushing a little, though he was the first to speak. "I really like the first book."
Izumo nodded his head. "Yeah, it was really well written, and the sex was great!"
Kotetsu blushed even harder, but nodded his agreement.
Kakashi gave them both a shocked look. "You both have read the book?"
They nodded together, "Yes."
"What does it look like?" he asked them.
Izumo crooked a finger and walked to the back of the store, Kakashi and Kotetsu following. The entire back wall was dedicated to the book which featured and very detailed drawing of a man with white hair, who was dressed in a standard shinobi flak vest. He had his right hand running through the hair of a red haired woman in front of him. His left arm suggesting that he was holding her to him. She looked to be happy as she leaned the back of her head onto his chest. The words Tabu Senseiwere written in a fancy calligraphy.
He plucked a book off the shelf and read the summary.
Hana is a kunoichi that has just noticed how attractive her sensei Mahosha is.
Mahosha is a Jonin, who has realized that his little flower is blossoming into a beautiful rose, and finds himself enjoying all the things that come with said realization.
Unfortunately, student/teacher relationships are considered Tabu!
No one could ever know except them. It was just confusing when something that was so obviously wrong, always felt so right!
He arched a brow at the words. They did catch his interest a little. The rating was set for MAC, meaning Mature Composition. He looked over to Izumo and Kotetsu. "Did your girlfriends get you into this?"
Kotetsu smiled a little. "Actually, I bought it first, and then I had him buy it. We showed it to our girls not long after."
Izumo nodded, "You would love it! Seriously, that guy is horny all the time! And the girl is incredibly kinky and not really opposed to what he wants to do. He even talked her into doing it on the dance floor of a club!"
Kakashi gave him a look that asked how that was possible but Izumo just laughed. "Sorry, but you have to buy it and read it! The flirting and the innuendos are great too!"
Kakashi sighed and trotted off to the front of the store. He placed the book on the counter and noticed how the man's eyes widened. "I have sold at least a million of these! I get shipments every week!"
He put the book in a bag. "That'll be two ryo, please. Anyway, I think you'll love it!"
Kakashi thanked the man and waved farewell to his Chunin friends, before taking his leave.
Slipping Icha Icha Tactics into his pouch, he opened his new book. The first page was a full body picture of the girl, Hana. She had a perfect hourglass figure and nice legs. She wasn't exposing everything she had, which for some reason, made him like it. Her hair was dark red, and her eyes were teal. The next page was the man, Mahosha, who was dressed similarly to himself, without a mask or a scar. His hair stood in all directions as well, and he wore his headband around his neck. His eyes were black, which contrasted his white hair.
Kakashi turned down his street and paused to let himself into his apartment. He found Pakkun laying on the sofa.
"What's that?" the little Pug asked, ears perked.
Kakashi showed him the cover. "A new series has hit Konoha, and apparently, it's on par with Icha Icha, if what the inside cover said was correct. I decided to buy it and check it out. It's called Tabu Sensei."
Pakkun nodded his head. "Oh, I read some of that."
Kakashi gave Pakkun a WTF look.
"Sakura owns the book, and she lets me sit on her shoulder and read it with her," the dog explained quickly. "I understand the idea, and I can't help but feel that I would like it more if the characters were all dogs and not humans. But, I guess that for human work, it's okay."
Kakashi looked at the little book in a new light. Pakkun said that it was okay. He didn't know which disturbed him more. The fact that Pakkun read a smut book and thought it was okay, or the fact that Pakkun read a smut book whilst sitting on Sakura's shoulders! Sakura liked porn!
He headed off to his room, laying on the bed, now more intrigued than ever!
Pakkun sat on the couch with a grin on his face. Sakura would die laughing when he told her that Kakashi was reading her book! Yes, he had read it over her shoulder, but he's also been there when she was writing it!
Who knew that when he dared her to create a romance series that would rival Icha Icha that she would succeed? He was just teasing her when she complained about poor plot sense in the Icha Icha books, letting Paradise go with a barely passing grade. All he had said was, "Why don't you make your own book that will rival Icha Icha in every way?" He didn't think that she would actually do it! Yet, he was proud. She had accomplished a difficult task and was able to reap the benefits by having better living quarters and more money to spend on herself.
He couldn't wait for tomorrow! Sakura was going to lose it!
