Summery: Sasuke might have made Sakura's elevator love with Sai go up, but he can also make it go down.

. . : Elevator Love / 0.2 / Down & Dirty : . .

Part 2.1

"Kakashi?"

"Hmm?"

"I need to borrow one of you're…uhm…books"

"New girlfriend?"

"Something like that, yes…"

"Running out of ideas?"

"……" Kakashi looked up from his current edition of Icha Icha Tactics.

"Gosh. She must be a wild one" he murmured looking Sai up and down. Sai raised an eyebrow.

"I don't know how much dirtier it can get…" he sighed. Kakashi shovelled through his pockets.

"You'll be surprised" he chuckled, handing him the original Icha Icha Paradise edition.

…

"Oh, Sasuke-kun!" Ino cried, as her naked body was thrown back against the sweat dampened sheets.

"Hn" was his only reply as he rolled off of her and headed towards the bathroom.

"Sakura should be jealous!" she said as she jumped off the bed and followed him.

"Hn" Sasuke stopped to open the door, but felt a pair of arms wrap around his chest. He rolled his eyes in annoyance.

"I heard she's found a new lover"

"……"

"But no one could ever be as good as you, Sasuke-kun!" she purred, stoking his ear tenderly. He turned around to face her, the anger that his eyes betrayed made her shiver. She tried to move away, but he caught her.

Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned that whore…

"Do you know who?" He pulled on her arms forcefully, his voice low and deep. He was determined to find out. It was the first he had heard of Sakura being involved with someone else other than him.

"Please, Sasuke…" she pleaded, pulling her arms from his strong grip, rubbing them sorely. "The walls are very thin in the girl's part of the dormitory". Sasuke frowned.

"Who is he?!"

"I don't know!" Ino argued, annoyed at the way Sasuke had reacted to the news. "My friend only complained to me about the racket they make at night!" Sasuke growled and pushed her away from him, Ino tried to follow him, but the door had already slammed in her face.

Sakura shut the book she was reading and stretched her arms outward with a loud yawn. She was tired. And she was sure Sai was too. After the incident in the elevator, they could never seem to keep away from each other. It was hard to keep their relationship boundaries when they made them. Sakura had suggested they start over, maybe a dinner or movie date, with no fornication of any sort afterwards. The plan seemed to be going well until they woke up the next morning naked in each others arms. Sakura and Sai agreed to one of the boundaries full heartedly. And that was to keep their relationship with each other a secret.

She knew partially why she didn't want it to get out, but she still wasn't quite sure. She guessed that girls would think badly of her, considering her previous relationship with Sasuke had ended on bad terms, the girls would call her inappropriate names. They did even when she was a little girl and had no sexual experience with a man at all! When Sakura told Sai this, he nodded, and agreed with her decision. He didn't seem to mind.

Sakura groaned at the thought of Sai. She desperately wanted to see him again…to kiss him again…to touch him again…she just wanted to go all the way with him again, and again…and again.

It's been two weeks since I last saw him…

She sighed. It was a record too.

"I think we should lay off" she had said to him

"I agree…I have a mission coming up and I haven't slept in a week…"

"Yeah. Tsunade asked me to leave her healing class the other day to go see the nurse at sick bay. She says that if I don't have Chlamydia or something then she doesn't know what's wrong with me" Sai chuckled at this. "She says I day dream too much as well" Sai turned to face her.

"Oh? And what do you day dream about?"

"What do you think I day dream about?"

"Do you want me to show you what I think you day dream about?"

Sakura giggled to herself once more, recalling the events that conversation had led too. Another night of passion and no sleep. That's what.

Sai should have returned from his mission by now…

Sakura skipped into the kitchen.

I think a welcoming home present is in order…

Two weeks without Sai is my excuse.

I'm sure he'll comply.

"Hey Sakura"

"Ahhk!!!" she screamed, as she bumped into a very ominous Kakashi. "W-What are you doing in my apartment?"

"Oh, the usual..." She raised a brow.

"And what's that?"

"Checking on my favourite student, of course!" The crinkle that spread across his mask betrayed the smirk he hid under the dark cloth.

"Since when?"

"Since always…except…you're usually in the shower at this time of the day…"

"You…WHAT?!"

"Chill!" he waved his hands out in defence. "Special occasion sweet pea"

Sweet pea? What is he trying to do? Woo me??

"It better be a god damn special occasion you perve!" she yelled shaking her clenched fist at him.

"Otherwise I will be informing Tsunade about your little trips to the girls' dormitory!" Kakashi chuckled.

"I was joking!"

"Yeah, I know you would never spy on me in the shower Kakashi. What kind of girl do you to take me for?" she purred, crossing her arms and swaying her deadly curved waist to the side.

"And if life was a game of poker…you'd lose" he pointed out. Sakura frowned at him, knowing all to well that his frequent visits to the girl's dorm were true. She watched Kakashi turn and head towards the door. He opened it slightly and poked his head out, analysing the hallway, which only seemed to be occupied by a small group of girls who were too busy giggling about something in particular to notice him.

"What are you doing?" she made him jump as she sneaked up behind him and shut the door.

"I heard Tsunade does dorm checks every fortnight" Sakura nodded her head. "And only kame knows what she'll do to me or any other boy if they're caught in the girls dorms"

"She wont until tomorrow night" Kakashi's eye brow raised.

"You sound very sure of yourself. How do you know this?"

"I saw her this morning. Her desk was piled up with at least 2 weeks worth of reports…she's too busy to worry about us girls"

"I see…"

"But that's no excuse to go sneaking around the girls dorm like the senseless pervert you are!" she warned him, her finger flared towards his face. Kakashi chuckled.

"Which reminds me; before I leave…your room and go do what you told me not to do…you haven't seen Sai around have you?"

"Uhm. No. Why do you ask?"

"He borrowed something off me, and I am determined to get it back before he ruins it with his inky little paws"

"Let me guess…" she wondered, deliberately placing a finger upon her lip, thinking unintentionally.

"Icha Icha?" Kakashi crossed his arms.

"Why would I give him that?"

"I can't think of any other item you own that you would fret so childishly over" Sakura turned and bent over the kitchen counter, stretching her fingers out, reaching for the 'On' button on top of the kettle.

"Yeah, that's about right" kakashi admitted. She flipped the switch and turned to face her ex-sensei, but found he had already disappeared into a puff of smoke. She coughed as she choked on the thick fog that swirled around her. She stumbled over to the balcony door and slid it open, waving the fumes out into the open atmosphere.

"Jerk" she muttered walking back to her bedroom. "But now's not the time to worry over trivial matters" she told herself. For she had to prepare for Sai's welcome home him present.

But what that will be…only Sakura knows…

…

A/NA Hint to all horny people…

Sai and Sakura had two weeks to catch up on their beauty sleep.

I think I've given them enough time apart, don't you think?

(tee-hee)

(And when I mean apart, I mean physically).

NEXT CHAPTER

Being caught in the act:

Sai and Sakura's attempt to keep their sexual relationship secret fails miserably.

What is a poor pink haired konoichi to do?

Especially with a guy like Sasuke rampaging about the academy.
