By Order of the Hokage
Chapter Two – Kakashi and Sakura
Sakura had barely walked into Tsunade's office when the older woman said, "Oh good, you're here. Go over there and enhance that food with your chakra."
Sakura walked over to the table and raised an eyebrow at the types of food on the table. Every single one considered to be an aphrodisiac. "Uh, Shishou, what is this for?" Sakura wasn't quite sure if she wanted to hear the answer or not.
"I'm tired of waiting for that insanely shy Hyuuga girl to put the moves on the oblivious idiot she's in love with. So I'm locking them in a room with no clothes, a futon, food and water for two weeks. That boy had better have her knocked up when I let them out."
Sakura tried to keep her eyes from bulging out of her head. Poor Hinata is going to curl up and die of mortification. "Ummm, Shishou…what's to keep Naruto from escaping from the room?" she dared to ask.
"It's going to be Sealed beyond belief, Sakura. And if he tried to blast his way out, he'd kill Hinata and he's too kind-hearted to do that." Tsunade glanced at Sakura. "And before you ask, I know that the boy is hard to knock out, but I have that covered. Now get going!"
Sakura sighed and began lightly touching the foods or the plates and dishes they were in. She could see her chakra flow into the foods and enhance their properties. Tsunade looked over once and nodded approvingly.
Sakura was briefly distracted when she notice two ANBU walking by, the man was carrying Hinata. Who was obviously unconscious.
Oh. Hell. Tsunade was not kidding. She was actually going to do this.
"That's enough, Sakura." Tsunade stopped her. "You and the Crow carry that table to the room. The Crow will show you the way."
Sakura looked up at the ANBU with the crow mask who had suddenly and nodded politely. "Crow-san."
The white-masked man nodded back. "Haruno-san." He took hold of one end of the table, she picked up the other and they walked carefully out of Tsunade's office. They walked down the hall to a room that was already covered with Seals waiting to be activated. She could feel the restrained power in the Seals floating across her skin.
Inside the room, Hinata was already under the covers of the futon. Obviously nude. Her clothes were being gathered up by a female ANBU that Sakura recognized. The woman gathered up Hinata's clothing, stood up and walked over to Sakura. Tenten whispered. "Has the Hokage lost her damn mind finally?"
Sakura whispered back. "Probably. She says that she's tired of waiting for Hinata to do something and that Naruto is oblivious to how she feels about him."
"Well, he is oblivious and Hinata is very shy, but this is going a bit overboard don't you think?"
But before Sakura could answer another ANBU dashed through the door with a naked Naruto over his shoulder. It was apparent that the ANBU had surprised Naruto in the bath. The man quickly slid Naruto next to Hinata.
"Out! Out! He isn't going to be unconscious for long!" Sakura and Tenten ran out of the room, followed by the other ANBU.
Once outside the room, the four ANBU began chanting and using hand signs. The Seals came to life and glowed brightly until they solidified. Sakura closed her eyes and concentrated and saw that they not only covered the four walls but the floor and ceiling as well.
Tsunade was right. Naruto could probably break the Seals but would kill Hinata in the process.
The ANBU finished and the three men moved down the hall and Tenten stepped next to Sakura. "Sakura, can I ask a favor of you?"

Sakura rubbed her still stinging cheek as she approached Tsunade's office and healed it with her chakra. Tenten packed quite a wallop. She slowed down as she heard Tsunade shouting. "…failed! That's makes how many kunoichi now?"
"Twelve. That you've officially assigned. More have tried but failed."
"More than twelve? MORE THAN TWELVE! What the hell? They don't make kunoichi like they used to!"
"Perhaps it's him." Came Shizune's soft reply.
"He reads porn in public not to mention in front of three twelve-year-olds. And the girls at the Red Lantern don't complain so I sincerely doubt it's him."
Kakashi? Sakura hid next to the door. She's assigned twelve kunoichi at Kakashi and none of them succeeded? And others tried too?
Sakura knew that her shishou had ordered all of the kunoichi to find a male shinobi and get pregnant by him almost a year ago and over the last few months the results have been appearing and the OB/GYN Department employees were complaining about being overworked.
Sakura she wasn't trying to avoid Tsunade's orders but there wasn't a man that she was really interested in. She was actually surprised that Tsunade hadn't ordered her to find someone by now. Even Shizune had gotten pregnant. The other woman had just returned from Maternity leave.
Tsunade spoke again. "If I have to, I'll have him captured by ANBU and milk him like a cow then use a turkey baster…Sakura! I know you're out there!"
Sakura pasted a neutral smile on her face and walked into the office. "Naruto and Hinata have been Sealed in, Tsunade-shishou."
Tsunade grunted. "At least something is going right." She eyed Sakura. "Sit down."
Sakura sat gingerly on the chair.
Tsunade stared at her. "Sakura, you heard what was said just now, didn't you?"
Sakura figured she'd better not lie. "Yes, Shishou."
"And you know who we were talking about."
"Kakashi, Shishou."
"Kakashi. Kakashi has managed to avoid getting into a long-term relationship with a kunoichi for years. And last year I gave the Progeny order and he has managed to avoid getting any kunoichi pregnant. I'm tired of him not co-operating." Tsunade grinned evilly at Sakura. "I want YOU to have his baby."
"ME?" Sakura squeaked.
"You. Now." Tsunade leaned back in her chair. "You have the next three months off, with pay, in order to get Kakashi to impregnate you. You can go now."
Sakura rose to her feet, bowed and managed not to stagger out the door. She barely saw Shizune's sympathic smile. Pregnant. Somehow I have to get Kakashi to have sex with me and get me pregnant. How in the hell am I going to do that?
Sakura blinked in the bright sun. She wasn't quite certain how she got from Tsunade's office to the outside but there she was. She collapsed on a bench and began to think hard. She was eighteen and still a virgin. She had no clue on how to seduce a man. That was once of the few classes that she didn't really pay any attention to.
She rubbed her face with both hands. How am I going to seduce a man fourteen years my senior? I know that he has experience. Ino told me things that she'd heard about him. Ino. Sakura teared up. She could use Ino's advice right now but the other girl had been killed in the War. She would know how to seduce…
Sakura sat upright. Her mind was racing. Twelve plus, presumably experienced, kunoichi tried their hands at seducing Kakashi and they failed. So I shouldn't even try to seduce him. He knows every trick in the book, more than likely has done them all and probably invented a few of them. I'm not going to be able to give him any wriggle room whatsoever!
Sakura smiled. She now knew how she was going to get Kakashi to get her pregnant.

Kakashi sat in the bar with Kurenai and Genma. He listened with half an ear to Genma's complaints about being hit on by kunoichi. Kakashi smiled ironically in his mask. If it had been a few years ago, Genma would have taken up with each and every one of them. But since he'd gotten Shizune pregnant, she was the only one for him.
Kurenai laughed. "That's because you've been known as the Manwhore of Konoha for two decades!" She didn't have to follow the Hokage's Progeny order since she'd already had a child by the man she'd loved and lost.
Kakashi himself had been importuned by various kunoichi. In bars, in the public baths and one time on a mission. The latter really pissed him off and had stormed up to Tsunade's office and shouted at her after the mission was over. Tsunade had apologized especially after finding out the kunoichi's actions almost caused the mission to fail and two chuunin to be seriously injured. Tsunade had the woman reduced in rank as well as a few other punishments.
But that didn't stop kunoichi from coming after him. He didn't know if Tsunade had assigned them to seduce him or if it was on their own initiative but he had to Seal his apartment when he left or he would find naked kunoichi in his bed. And he had to Seal his apartment after he got home. He'd almost killed two kunoichi. One had gotten into the apartment and tried to wrap herself around him while he was showering. The other had crawled into bed with him while he was sleeping.
They were both lucky to be alive and he took great satisfaction in throwing both of them out his front door stark naked and wounded.
The door to the bar opened and a familiar scent drifted across the smoke, spilled alcohol and body odors. Sakura.
He looked up and watched as she moved through the crowd. He could see other men look her up and down with appreciation. When the hell did she grow up?
She stopped at his table and politely greeted Kurenai and Genma then turned to him. He could tell that something was bothering her and watched as her breasts rose as she took a deep breath and spoke. "Kakashi, by order of the Hokage, I have to have your baby."
Kurenai covered her mouth with one hand.
Genma's mouth dropped open and his senbon fell to the floor.
Kakashi blinked. "What?" he croaked. He could not believe that sweet innocent Sakura walked up to him in a bar and said that.
"The Hokage has ordered me to get pregnant with your child." Sakura's face was tense.
"Now?" he asked weakly.
Sakura's face shattered with shock and she gave him an appalled look. "I'm not going to have sex with you in a bar!"
Kurenai added her other hand to her mouth.
Genma, who was in the process of taking a restorative drink from his bottle of beer, choked.
The other patrons in the bar laughed.
Kakashi tried to find a way to get out of this. "Sakura, you don't want to have my child. I'm too old for you."
"It's the Hokage's orders, Kakashi, it has to be you." She tried to hide it but she seemed scared and her lower lip trembled. "You don't want me to go to prison, do you?"
Kakashi almost fell off his chair and shock. What the…Tsunade threatened Sakura with prison?!
Then some jackass spoke up in the crowd. "Hey, Hatake! You don't want her, I'll be happy to f…"
Kakashi leapt from his seat, grabbed Sakura by the upper arm and had them out the door before the sentence was finished. He did have the satisfaction of hearing the idiot squeal like a girl when the kunai suddenly appeared between his legs.
He started walking for his apartment but felt Sakura balk. He turned to her and spoke gently. "We're just going to go to my apartment. We need to talk about this, Sakura."
She smiled up at him, her beryl eyes glowing in the sun. She placed her hand over his. "I know but my apartment's closer and it's bigger."
Kakashi looked at her for a moment, then nodded. He understood. She was going to feel more secure and comfortable on her own turf for this discussion than on his. He let go of her arm and the pair walked side by side without saying a word until they entered her apartment.
"Would you like some tea?" Sakura made a beeline for her kitchen after telling Kakashi to make himself at home.
"Please. Thank you." He watched as she puttered around. The child he had first met was gone. He could see that. The woman he watched had grace and power in her movements. Watching her could very easily become addicting.
Sakura prepared the tea and brought it on a tray along with some cookies and placed it on the coffee table before sitting down next to him on the sofa. But before she could pour, Kakashi stopped her. "Sakura, we need to talk."
"Okay."
She wasn't looking at him. Kakashi slipped his hand under her chin and gently turned her head to face him but she wouldn't raise her eyes. "Sakura, look at me." He gently commanded. Those beautiful green eyes rose up and looked into his dark one. "You don't want me, Sakura. I'm too old for you." She tried to say something. "Let me finish. I'm too old for you. I have too many bad habits. I've seen too much. I've done too much to be paired with someone like you."
Sakura glared. "Someone like me? Someone like ME?" She rose to her feet and began to pace. "You may have seen more action than me. You are older and more experienced than me after all. But don't think that I haven't seen my share. The War? I was there. Remember? I fought with you side by side. I healed you and Naruto after that fight you had with Sasuke when he turned against Konoha." She looked at him and a tear ran down her face. "He was still alive, you know."
Kakashi was shocked. He had thought Sasuke had died right after Naruto's final blow.
Sakura nodded at his reaction. "He was still alive. I had walked over to make sure he was dead after healing you and Naruto and he was still breathing. He opened up his eyes and looked right at me. He was in bad shape, he was going to die but it was going to be slow and painful. And then he demanded that I heal him." Her chin trembled and another tear ran down her cheek. "Demanded as if I was a whore there to service him. So I knelt down next to him…and…and…"
Kakashi stood up and wrapped his arms around her. She clung to him. He whispered in to her hair. "What did you do, Sakura?"
"I knelt down next to him. I placed my hand on his chest, looked him in the eye and used chakra and stopped his heart." She shook and cried.
"It's okay to cry for him, Sakura. Cry for him. Cry for that little boy who lost everything. Cry for the man that he should have become." Kakashi backed up until he was sitting on the sofa again and she was curled up in his lap. He held her, rubbed her back and whispered soft words that he could not recall.
Finally she stopped, her head resting on his chest just underneath his chin. "Kakashi?"
"Yes?"
"Why don't you want children?"
"I don't want them to be ashamed of me." Oh, hell. Did I just say that?
Sakura looked up at him in shock. "Ashamed of you? What for? You are a Hero of Konoha. You are the best shinobi of your generation. Why would you think your child would be ashamed of you?"
Kakashi didn't want to tell her but he managed to stammer out about his father and his disgrace. His mother's death. He couldn't be that he was saying the words that poured out of him to this woman who had once been his student.
Sakura slipped from his arms and onto the sofa. It was her turn to hold him and she pulled him close until his head was resting on her breasts. "Oh, Kakashi. You have never done anything that would cause your child to be ashamed of you."
The most elite ninja in all of Konoha trembled and hid his face against her breasts.
Sakura held him and gently slid her chakra into his body to soothe and to heal. Slowly she allowed to her hands to drift across his body.
Kakashi relaxed and allowed her to do what she wanted. This beautiful young woman whom he suddenly didn't want to let go of. "Sakura?"
"Yes?"
"Are you trying to seduce me?" When she didn't say anything, Kakashi looked up. Her face was bright red. Kakashi grinned beneath his mask and his dark eye twinkled. "I seem to remember reading about some very poor grades in your kunoichi classes." Sakura blushed harder and she started to speak. Kakashi laid a finger across her lips. "As your Team Leader, it behooves me to correct these deficiencies in your education. And, as your Team Leader, I really shouldn't allow you to disobey the Hokage's orders."
He pulled of his mask and hitai-ate in a smooth practiced move, tossed them on the coffee table and had Sakura on her back before she could even blink. "Let me show you how to seduce someone."

The next morning, the two new lovers laid in her bed, sweat drying from their bodies. Sakura laid her head on his chest. Kakashi held her close. He kissed her forehead. "I love you, Sakura."
He could see her smile. "I love you too."
"I'm sorry Tsunade threatened you with prison. I'll have a talk with her."
Sakura propped herself up on one elbow. "Tsunade never threatened me with prison."
Kakashi frowned. "But you said…" then he though back to exactly what she had said in the bar.
She gave him a wicked grin. "I got very good grades in grammar!"
Kakashi glared at her for a moment then laughed. He pulled her underneath him. "Wicked minx." He murmured just before kissing her senseless.
