Here's another one, hope you enjoy.

I do not own Naruto

I'm really sorry for all the spelling mistakes out there, I'm writing it in too much of a hurry, so they just pop out. Just bear with me, OK?

XOXOXO

The routine was set for the next few days. Everyone got up, went to work, worked, come back to the inn, showered, ate dinner, and went to sleep. Sakura and Kakashi grew back to being good friends, although Sakura was all the time thinking of the kiss, and their conversation. What had possessed her in the first place to do that, and then to want to continue a relationship with him? It was like everything that happened that evening was a dream. Sure she had enjoyed the kiss (a lot), but he had kept a cool head and she hadn't. Sometimes she would be thinking about it and then talk to him, and she would be kind of embarrassed.

And then sometimes she would wonder about that feeling that had shot through her when they had kissed, like she was free. This confused her the most, and whenever it came up in her mind, she blocked it out.

One day, they were exiting the restaurant after dinner when the leader of the town ran up to them.

"Shinobi of Konoha! I have just received news of suspicious activity!" he gasped out to them. Obviously he had been looking all over for them. Kakashi glanced around, wondering if anyone had heard.

"Hai. Let us continue this conversation in your house."

XOXOXO

Once they were all seated, the leader took out a scroll.

"I have just received this scroll from a worker at the mine. He informs me that among the workers, four people are traveling and talking to the other workers, asking them how they like their job and how it pays. Then, once they hear just one negative detail, they enlarge it to make it seem largely bios and unfair. After they have gotten the worker to agree with them, they ask him if he would like to work for more pay, and better conditions. If they say yes, then they are included in the group of workers that had also said yes, and are told that in order for that to happen, they would have to do certain things for the new employer. Most men are uneasy, but they are assured that it is nothing bad or illegal. Then they are told of some sort of plan to overthrow me! Shinobi, you must stop this!" The man was almost in hysterics. Kakashi reassuringly nodded.

"Don't worry. It's only a matter of time before they approach us. And once we join the group, we'll find out how it works and make a plan to overthrow it. And if circumstances make out that we must fight, we will give our lives for this mission. Sir, don't worry. Everything will work out." The old man clamed down a bit and smiled.

"Thank you so much," he said.

XOXOXO

In bed that night, Sakura turned to face Kakashi.

"So now the mission will really start, eh?" she said quietly. Kakashi shrugged.

"I guess. Now we have a lead. I don't know where it will lead us, but we'll figure it out. Besides, the Fifth should be sending someone to ask how the mission is going sooner or later. At least we'll have something to tell him. Hey, this mission might even end up taking less than a month." Kakashi closed his eyes, signaling he was ready to sleep.

Sakura didn't let Kakashi know, but her heart was sinking all the way to her feet at his words, for some reason. And, feeling depressed, she fell asleep.

Kakashi didn't let Sakura know, but his heart was sinking even at his own words, for some reason. He was confused. He should be happy the mission was ending; why was he feeling so depressed?

XOXOXO

The next morning the routine was the same. Everyone left for work. Sakura and Ino were worked extra hard that day, because there were a lot of costumers. They were utterly tired by sunset, and trudged across the street and up into the rooms, took showers, and both collapsed on their respective beds.

A door opening awaked Sakura. She opened her eyes and blinked, several times, before focusing on the dirt-covered Kakashi in front of her.

"Yo," he greeted her, and took of his dirty shirt. She yawned and sat up.

"Did you get approached by the people trying to overthrow the leader?" she asked. Kakashi shook his head.

"No, but we know who one of them is, because we were around when he was talking to another guy. And the situation doesn't look good. Most of the workers are joining the rebellion. Only about, I'd say, twenty-five percent aren't. And we have another issue."

"What now?"

"It seems these village people are really curious about us," he said dryly. "We give them more intimacy, and they wonder why they never hear screams of pleasure coming from this room." Sakura gaped.

"Are you kidding me? Now what are we gonna do?"

"Let me take a shower first and we'll talk about it," he said, disappearing behind the bathroom door. Sakura collapsed back on the covers. She couldn't think of one situation that didn't involve sexual contact. Kakashi emerged.

"Do you want to skip dinner?" was the first thing he said. She knew what answer he wanted.

"Sure," she said. He left to tell the others, then came back and got in bed beside Sakura.

"Have you thought about it?" he questioned.

"Yes."

"And?"

"To be honest, I can't think of one situation that doesn't involve sex," she said bluntly. He nodded.

"I know." There was a large break of silence.

"We could just ignore it," she offered, already knowing why they couldn't.

"You know why we can't do that. If we ignore this, they'll suspect we aren't a couple."

"I know."

A pause.

"I told them to go out and explore the mines after dinner, then go straight to bed and we'll talk about it tomorrow." Sakura said nothing. She knew what he was thinking when he said that, and didn't know how to respond. They sat in silence for who knows how long. What was making them both uncomfortable wasn't the fact that they were uncomfortable about the subject, but thinking that the other person was uncomfortable about the subject. Neither knew how the other felt.

Kakashi rolled on his side, facing Sakura, who was lying on her back and turned her head to look at him.

"I need to know how you feel about this. I want you to know that if we were to actually do something, we wouldn't to have to actually do sex. All they wanted was screams of pleasure, so…" Sakura didn't answer immediately.

"I'm very nervous, but to be honest, for some reason I'm not embarrassed, like you might think I would be. And…if it's for the mission, then I'm ready to do it. Again, I can't believe I'm saying this, but if you want me to be honest with you, I'm glad it's you and not some other villain that I have to take care of on a seduction mission." She couldn't stop herself from moving her eyes away from him, just a little to the left, so she wasn't looking directly at him. She wanted to know what he thought. She heard him take in breath, getting ready to talk,

"That must have been hard for you to say, Sakura. But thank you. I needed to know the truth." She forced herself to look at him as she talked,

"What do you feel about it?" she asked. She needed to know. The suspense was killing her.

"Sakura. You are beautiful, whatever you keep on telling yourself. And kind. And smart. And a damn good kunoichi. And since you were honest with me, I want to be honest with you. I would do this. But, I am uncomfortable about the fact that we're nine years apart. Does that make you uncomfortable?" he said softly. Sakura looked straight into his eyes.

"No," she said clearly. "No, it doesn't in the least bit. Nor does the fact that you were my sensei. It doesn't." Kakashi was silent. Then he spoke.

"This doesn't mean we have to love each other. Nor that we have to be in a relationship. I think, now, that that's actually what's bugging me. We are such good friends. And I don't want that to change between us." Sakura said the first thing that came to mind before she could stop herself.

"Kakashi, you're still friends with people you've kissed before, or done anything beyond that, aren't you?" Kakashi seemed just a little surprised.

"You're right. I am. So this won't change anything between us? Do I have your permission?" he talked in such a low whisper she could barely hear him. She nodded. "I'm only going to use my hand, OK?" he whispered in her ear. She looked into his eyes.

"Take off your mask first," she whispered back. He nodded and peeled it off. They started off with a kiss. Sakura's hands found themselves absorbed in Kakashi's silver hair, and while they were kissing, he pulled her shirt up a little bit and began inching her shorts off. Again, she was feeling light-headed, feeling like it was a dream, and that feeling she was having last time—like she was free—it was coming back. As their tongues sparred, her shorts were all the way off. Kakashi himself was feeling a lot like Sakura, light-headed and not over complete control of his body.

Wasn't I lecturing her about how this was wrong a few days ago? Kakashi figured later that had been his last solid thought. From then on his mind was swirling with mixed intentions, desires, and images. What his intuition told him to do, he did, long having abandoned all logic.

Once her underwear was fully off, Sakura couldn't help but feel very exposed, and kind of embarrassed. In response to this feeling she deepened the kiss, hoping it would go away. She felt Kakashi's smooth, but firm hand on her legs, and into her private area. What were these feelings that came coursing through her? She gasped into the kiss and they both took this time to take a few breaths before continuing.

Suddenly Kakashi plunged one finger in her. She broke the kiss, gasping. He circled inside of her, and plunged in and out. She moaned. It felt nothing like when she did it herself.

Fuck! That feels…so good…

Kakashi moved down and began to kiss and suck on her neck. She gasped again. The feelings that were coursing throughout her were making her dizzy as well as light-headed. She gave a louder moan. Kakashi bit down on her neck at the same time he added another finger. Sakura almost screamed. Kakashi rubbed his fingers against her, and was starting to make circular motions again.

"Ohhhh!" she thrashed on the bed, feeling very hot. She was breathing hard. "Ka…kashi…oh my God!" A pressure was building up inside of her. She wanted release. The pleasure was so much, and even she could feel the wetness. Her hands swarmed in his hair, pulling at it. Kakashi gritted his teeth. He himself was getting very hard, but he tried to ignore it and kept on.

They were kissing again. She was even higher up in heaven then…

He added a third finger. She screamed. He let her. That was what they needed. She continued screaming, off and on, until the pressure built up so much release came. She finished with a final scream, then closed her eyes, breathing very hard. Kakashi was catching his breath as well. When she opened her eyes, he was placing his mask back on.

"I think that will keep the gossip away for a few days. Damn, Sakura. You scream loud." She blushed.

"That…felt…wow…" she breathed. Kakashi laid down.

"I'll take that as a compliment."

"Yeah…thank you, Kakashi. You must…you need it too, don't you?" she finished quietly.

"No, I'm fine, Sakura. Seriously. You needn't worry. Anyway, it's late. We should go to sleep." Sakura got up.

"OK. I'll just change."

When she got out, Kakashi went in to change.

"Good night," she called from the room. Kakashi responded, and Sakura lay down on the bed. It was then when she thought about everything. Had what they done right?

It was for the sake of the mission. Of course it was. If we hadn't, people would have eventually found out about us. And now everything will be all right.

Sakura had re-assured herself, and she was able to drift off to sleep.

XOXOXO
