Memories: Blossom
"Have you seen her, Kakashi-san?"
Hatake Kakashi looked up from the scroll in front of him, and into the curious brown eyes of a teenage delivery boy.
"Uh?" His eyes drifted behind the young man, landing on an empty table in the private library. "I haven't."
Shizune sat up and extended her hand towards the civilian, who accepted the bills without tearing his eyes from Kakashi.
"You really should, Kakashi-san. They're identical."
Kakashi nodded and watched the boy sprint out of the room. Shizune dug into the bag, unbothered by the boy's enthusiastic goodbye.
"Are you sure you don't want to share? I swear I won't charge you for taking some."
He closed the scroll in front of him and breathed out. "I'll take my break outside."
The medic nodded. It was starting to get to him. "Sure." And soon he wouldn't be able to hide it.

Kakashi left ANBU a bit over a year ago, but Emi seemed to have a hard time letting go of his invaluable assets. She called him in for another favor, the fourth one this year, and being that he favored her above any other Head of Department, the jonin found it hard to just say no.
"The Ikeda family throws a party in their hometown of Kaibun village, every year." She opened a scroll in front of her with her signature already marked, but her tired, grey eyes were steady on him. Emi knew the details of the mission statement like every scar in the back of her hand. "It's over the top, quite a sight to see."
Kakashi nodded slowly, still picking at the threads from his bandaged ankle. He knew the head of the Tact Division didn't plan to send him off to a simple garden party for fun, and he waited patiently for Emi to get down to the good stuff.
She pulled out a folder from underneath the scroll, and opened it in front of him.
"We have a girl named Yuna who is the main entertainer for this party. Every year she needs a partner for her performance."
Kakashi leaned towards the desk and captured the necessary details with just once glance. She looked young, with long black hair, wide blue eyes.
"The performance is sexual in nature," she admitted.
His eyes shifted to the young girl's mouth. Nice set of lips, rosy, and plumped just the way he liked them.
"You would have sex in the middle of a room with about one hundred people. It's a once a year event, and the hosting family never asks the male partner to come back. The pay is double that of most S-Class missions, and the guests tip generously at the end of it."
Kakashi felt disappointed that they only gave a headshot for him to work with, but a pretty face did count for half the experience in these circumstances. His eyes were scanning over her measurements by the time Emi started talking about budget cuts affecting the department, and how they needed all the help they could get making sure they showed their value to the Hokage.
32B? A little smaller than he normally liked, but he got the gist.
"If this mission goes well, it would put important people more securely in our pocket, and we need as many of them as possible."
It didn't sound any worse than most missions the department usually gave him, and at least these people tipped.
"Sure, sure, I'll take it."
It's not like his plans for the weekend were any better.
She passed the scroll to him, a rare smile bringing some humanity to her normally stern face. "You don't know how grateful I am, Hatake."
The politics behind it didn't interest him, but Kakashi would do his best to put up a great performance.
"No problem, Emi."
{*1*}
A short woman with a slim build, Yuna didn't talk much on their trip to Kaibun. She shared her home cooked meal with him when they stopped for a break, and so he knew she was probably just shy outside her mission persona.
It may have been because he entertained this thought for an entire day, that when they got to their hotel room, and she took off her clothes in front of him, the jonin's mouth all but dropped.
She smiled, and without breaking from meticulously folding her garment, told him to soak it all in. "This is what you have to work with."
Kakashi quietly dropped the rest of his traveling scrolls on the polished vanity table, marring the expensive piece with his cheap, dirty, assets. If they decided to put up shinobi in such an opulent room every year, he guessed they were used to cleaning up more dirt, and dust then they were normally comfortable with.
"Has anyone told you that you have the body of a teenager finally transitioning into the good part of puberty?"
Yuna removed her bra, placing the simple garment over the rest of her clothes. "That joke isn't unique to you." Though most people just left it off at "body of a teenager," so she gave him props for elaborating.
Her smile never faded as she continued changing into her comfortable clothes.
Yuna pulled her hair up and began brushing some stray locks into position, as she informed her partner about the task they would perform. Kakashi took a note from her leisure approach, and returned to organizing his own things.
She spoke openly about her likes and dislikes, naming them off as if she were reading a list of groceries to be picked up. They all came down to three basic things; limit teeth usage, keep bruising to a minimum, or at least down to something that could heal in a week, and keeping his package hairless would keep her from gagging.
It took the guesswork out of things, and Kakashi felt somewhat relieved.
"I would like to take a look at your member to get an idea of what I'm working with," she added taking a seat on the large bed. "I'm tight and the beginning always hurts. Depending on how big it is, I may bring extra lubricant."
"It may be due to the fact that you're not properly aroused at the time of penetration."
Yuna stopped tucking loose pieces of hair into her bun. It sounded like he accepted her mannerism, but most notable, the man sounded like he knew the subject well.
She smiled. "Looks like you'll be better than most of them."
Kakashi turned, satisfied with his arrangement of vanity table. "You can at least expect me to be better than Genma."
Yuna laughed crossing her legs. "I look forward to it, because Genma did a pretty good job."
Kakashi knew all about that performance. Genma bragging about his greatness had been one of the main sparks that led the jonin to consider taking such a mission.
"I'm guessing we're sharing the bed?" He queried finally acknowledging the solo sleeping furniture.
Yuna lied back, spreading her arms freely over the mattress. "I don't have sex outside of work, so you're safe from my rumored lustfulness if that's what you're worried about."
Kakashi brushed it off, taking the towel he draped earlier on the silk trimmed chaise. "I could go for a practice round after my shower."
Yuna laughed. "We get better tips when their performance is completely new. Some expressions just can't be duplicated."
The jonin shrugged, tucking his hands in his pocket. "If the expert says so."
{*1*}
The performance went smoothly, but Kakashi wouldn't say he would take it up again for fun. He felt a bit nervous seeing the large group of naked bodies positioning themselves into expanding circles around them. Yuna on the other hand, sat comfortably on their small bed and even held his hand to her thigh as if offering some sort of comfort. Truly it hadn't helped much, but once the lights dimmed, and every couple lost themselves in the sea of blissful moans, Yuna made sure to perform brilliantly enough for Kakashi to not care about anything else.
It made for a nice memory, and he did learn many new things, but the man enjoyed keeping intimacy behind closed doors, with no audiences.
Yuna would be back next year, and considering every partner kept getting better, she actually looked forward to it.
The Ikeda family allowed them the full weekend on their hotel, and so after resting, Yuna took her partner out for a day around town.
Cobblestone lined hills, and wide open streets made up the traveling network of the charming little village. The sun bore down on the pointed roofs, but large trees with drooping branches, heavy with colorful leaves, shaded the many stores and civilians, in the long roads that made up the center of town.
The stores in Kaibun were of higher quality than in most places he visited during missions, and Kakashi felt thankful that none of his acquaintances expected a souvenir upon his return. Yuna on the other hand walked into every other store, and by the end of the afternoon, Kakashi had a feeling she brought him along to help with the bags rather than to show him around the city.
She treated him to lunch as a reward, and didn't bat an eye when he chose a rather pricey spot. Not that he found anything less in this town. And just to make sure he knew she didn't care about spending, she asked for the private room.
"You know, so you can eat comfortably," she winked motioning to the area covered by his mask.
A waitress led the way to a balcony sitting atop a blossoming garden, where they watched a few koi fish swimming, and splashing on a small pond. Yuna munched on the sun baked chips, offering him some when he failed to dig in. She warned him that the food took long, but the jonin felt confident in his ability to wait.
He felt curious about something she said the previous night, and decided to keep the mood from going dull by asking. "Is your decision to not have sex outside of work, part of an agreement with Tact?"
Kakashi didn't remember making any such accord during his time in ANBU, but then again, he never became a formal member of that division.
"Low self esteem," she answered bluntly. "So I like to use sex only when I have to."
Kakashi knew she could feel his eyes on her, but she still refused to meet his gaze.
"I think you're quite attractive."
She smiled. "You remember that joke you made yesterday?"
He nodded.
"I heard it for the first time when I came to do this mission. Not something you want to hear at fifteen years of age." Now it didn't bother her, and she built an impressive arsenal of comebacks. But at that time, such words carved a deeper wound than she ever expected. "It made me feel inadequate, as if there was something wrong with the body I presented because it didn't look like the body everyone expected. It didn't help that every time I got naked in front of anyone, the joke would always break the ice."
Kakashi picked up his glass and took a sip of the cool water. Well, he'd definitely think twice before making such a shitty joke again.
"And it doesn't make you feel any better that you never had a problem finding a partner for this job, or other such jobs?
She shrugged, finally gifting him with a direct smile. "They're getting paid, and the better they perform the higher the tip. I have no reason to believe that my luck with partners for missions, has anything to do with me."
Kakashi leaned against the braided back of his chair. "Well, I'd definitely do you without any incentive for tips or the likes."
"I don't do pity sex."
"Neither do I."
{*1*}
Maybe she did have a hint of that lustful woman everyone liked to speak about, because with just those simple words she agreed to try an off the books tryst with her mission partner. He delivered a passionate performance, detailed, and made sure to follow the age old saying of "ladies first," the entire ride. He left her with no doubt that monetary compensation didn't fuel his performance, and Yuna had to admit that she regretted not taking him up on his first offer.
Kakashi took her expletive filled orgasm as a sign that she understood his earlier remark as nothing but a childish joke. She was beautiful, a fantastic lover, and he wouldn't mind being the one to make her understand that as long as she let him.
"Shower?"
Yuna pulled her large shirt to cover her bare bottom as she took as seat on the desk. "My hair takes a long time to wash and set," she declined. "But you can go in first."
Kakashi didn't argue, and nodded as she reached into her bag to look for her mission report. He should probably get to that before Emi yelled at him.
The door closed and Yuna sighed before taking out two sheets. She picked a pen from the cup, straightened her back, and began writing Emi's report first.
Author's Note: The first three chapters are really one long chapter broken into three, so I'll be posting them all together before getting into a Friday posting schedule. The story takes place right after the war, but the italics part are about seven years prior. It's not really a flashback, but more of a narration of snippets from Yuna, and Kakashi's time together. The outline is done (22 chapters + epilogue), chapters 1-11 are written, and edited, so I'm pretty confident that I'll be maintaining this schedule.
This story will be pretty fast paced (unlike Stargazers xD), but after the first three chapters, things will move into the present, so there will be no more need for snippets. Also, just like this chapter showed, sexual themes will be imbedded throughout the story. Explicit sexual descriptions (lemons) will also make part of the plot.
Thank you very much for reading!
