Chapter 1
The wind blew the cherry blossoms in swirls and waves. He stared out in to the distance from his treetop hide-away.
"Kakashi-sensei," a soft voice called," the Hokage wants to see you." There was a certain discomfort in her stature today.
"I'll be right there Sakura," he called back
It's been three year since she became a Jounin. Her hair had gotten longer, she'd gotten taller, and she looked more like a woman now .She wasn't the same awkward love sick genin anymore. Now she was a strong, beautiful, and independent young konoichi.
He stared after her as she headed toward the Hokage Tower. 'When did she become so hot?' Kakashi thought to himself. He stopped short, 'WAIT A MINUTE! She's my student! Why the HELL am I thinking these thoughts?' Kakashi mentally smacked himself and followed her toward the Hokage's office.
"I found him Tsunade-sama," Sakura called.
"Good work Sakura," the fifth replied. "I have a mission for the two of you," she said," The Land of Earth has been up to some suspicious activity and I want the two of you to gather information."
"Wait, the two of us?" Kakashi asked. He'd handled missions like this alone by the file full, what made this mission so special?
"Yes the two of you. There have been rumors that the Land of Earth's head of security has enlisted the help of the Akatsuki," the fifth explained. "Even with your Sharingan, taking on multiple Akatsuki is too dangerous. It's suicide!"
"But how is Sakura…..?" He tried to say, but was cut off.
"I don't want to hear it Hatake! Sakura has trained under me for the last ten years. She has already surpassed even some of our elite ANBU members! On top of that, her medical ninjutsu would be invaluable to you and you know it! DO NOT ARGUE WITH ME!" the Hokage shouted, 'That ought to shut him up' she thought. She had been nursing a hangover from last night and this conversation had made it ten times worse.
Sakura, who had been standing quietly beside Kakashi, spoke up, her voice blank and expressionless," So when do we leave?" she asked.
'It seems she knows something I don't 'Kakashi thought.
"Tomorrow morning. Six a.m. SHARP" the sharp was directed at Kakashi, due to his famousness for being late.
"Yes ma'am!" Sakura said, and then stiffly walked out of the room. Kakashi could have sworn he saw a blush on her cheeks.
A Few Minutes Later
"You're still here Kakashi?" The fifth asked. He looked at the expression on her face and determined it was time to leave
The next day Sakura was waiting near the gate for Kakashi. "Where is that man," she wondered. He was supposed to be there two hours ago. She was in a foul mood too, she wasn't very happy with the role she was about to play on this mission. "Honestly, I don't know what Tsunade-sama was thinking. My pimp of all things," the anger in her voice was nothing to laugh about, but still she heard a chuckle.
"Damn it, Kakashi! You're late as usual," the anger and frustration were evident in her voice. 'Still,' she thought,' it's not like he's ugly.' Immediately she mentally slapped herself, 'What the hell am I thinking,' she thought, angry at herself for letting herself feel attracted to her former sensei. 'He's my teacher and he's way too old.' A few seconds passed by, 'Still' she thought, as she stared after Kakashi.
"Are you coming?" Kakashi asked.
"H-Huh? Oh, yah I'm coming," she called. She followed him appraising him from behind as they walked out of Konoha.
Two Uneventful Days Later
'She's not very happy,' thought the silver haired shinobi,' I'm not sure I'd like her role to play in this either, but our main target is a real "ladies-man" as Tsunade put it' He thought back to the mission briefing.
FLASHBACK
"So, are there any specifics I need to know?" Kakashi asked
"As a matter of fact, there is," the fifth replied," the target is the Land of Earth's head of security, Seiji Tanaka. When he is not working he is usually at the local bar drunk and surrounded by brothel maids and paid 'escorts'. To put it delicately he's a real ladies man to say the least."
"And what does Sakura have to do with this?" He asked, almost afraid of what the answer might be.
"Well that's the thing," she said," I told you that Tanaka is always surrounded by paid 'escorts' right?"
'I think I know where this is headed,' he thought, silently praying he was wrong. "Yes," he said.
"Well Sakura is going to play the role of the 'escort' while you are her, how do the kids put it? Oh yes, her pimp."
'That's what I was afraid of,' he thought."And how does Sakura feel about this?" he asked.
"I briefed her on the details before I sent her to get you, and she has agreed to it. She said that she is willing to accept the risks," the Hokage said.
'Damn, 'he thought
END
"We should be there soon," Kakashi said," are you ready?"
"As I'll ever be," she said. She was practically shaking as she walked beside him, she was so pale.
'She looks like she's gonna be sick' he thought.
"It'll be okay'" he told her as a smile crinkled his visible eye. He still kept his face covered, but replaced his headband with a straw hat and he had exchanged his ninja uniform for a simple blue haori and ankle-length black pants. She on the other hand was wearing a slim black silk kimono with a gold obi belt. He rested a hand on her shoulder and a slight pink blush spread over her cheeks.' Damn, why is she so hot?' he thought, not catching himself on his sudden attraction to the konoichi.
As they neared the city gate they assumed their roles. Kakashi wrapped his arm around her waist. She did the same and then loosened her belt to let the sleeve of her kimono slip over her shoulder, showing off a generous amount of cleavage. She clung to Kakashi while they walked through the crowded streets as men eyed her like a piece of meat, including Seiji Tanaka.
The pair walked up to the man," you like what you see?" Kakashi asked. "500 and she's yours for the night." '500!" an enraged inner Sakura shouted,"Is that all he thinks I'm worth?"
"Yes I do," said Tanaka. He leered drunkenly at Sakura,"how would you like to spend the night with a rich man, sweetie?" he slurred.
"That depends," she purred seductively," on how rich you actually are."
'Holy Crap! When did Sakura get so good at seduction?' Kakashi thought as he recalled all the times she had tried that with Sasuke, and failed miserably. 'Damn, when did I feel attracted to her?' Kakashi thought. When the drunk paid him he pulled Sakura close and said loudly enough for the Tanaka to hear," You'd better treat him real good, baby." As Tanaka continued to leer, he whispered in her ear," I'll stay right behind you."
Sakura started toward Tanaka and took his arm. "Let's get outta here, honey," she purred in his ear, " come and buy me a drink." They started off toward the bar.
