Authors Note: Thank you my 2 reviewers! Your words made me very happy ;)


The four Shinobi walked, or stumbled in the case of Nicole and Kakashi, into the main room of Nicole's house. Nicole pushed off her shoes and wobbled into the kitchen, hopping up on the counter to the top shelf above the refrigerator to grab a bottle of whisky that she had hidden from her younger roommates. She grabbed 4 cups and placed them on the coffee table in the living area before she noticed that Sakura, Brayden, Ino, Colby and Shikamaru were seated amongst the furniture watching her with interest.

Sakura had a bemused expression as she looked from Nicole to the three men at the door.

"Hey…" Nicole said awkwardly before motioning for Tenzo, Kakashi and Genma to help themselves to the whisky. Genma happily walked in, sat down next to Sakura and helped himself to a drink. Both Tenzo and Kakashi casually followed, Tenzo took a seat in an empty chair as well as a drink while Kakashi chose to lean against the wall next to the stairs.

"Kakashi-sensei," Sakura said turning to the man, an eyebrow raised quizzically. "Are you drunk?" Ino snickered.

Kakashi just stared at the pink haired girl blankly rather than answer. Truth be told he was fairly drunk and all his thoughts were on how to casually escort Nicole up to her room to 'help' her change.

"You bet he is," Genma laughed. "Found these two in his apartment 'training'." He motioned towards Nicole and Kakashi.

"Training?," Sakura and Ino said in unison, looking back and forth between the two, smiles curbing on their faces.

Nicole tossed back a drink, filled two more glasses, and handed one off to Kakashi as she stood next to him by the stairs. "Don't worry about it," she said to the two girls. "What'er you doin' here?" Kakashi snorted at her slurred speech. She just pushed at him against the wall, and he stumbled slightly to keep his balance as he drank back the glass Nicole had just handed to him.

Sakura, Ino and Shikamaru just sat there, dumbstruck. They had never before witnessed Kakashi-sensei in this state.

"We're waiting for Nina and Margot before going to the Hyuga compound for the engagement party," stated Brayden, a soft smile on his face as he watched the older girl drunkenly stare down the room.

"The party, right Nicole? Let's go get you changed," stated Kakashi as he pushed her up the stairs. Tenzo got up swiftly from his chair to push into the stairway as well. Nicole looked at them both and rolled her eyes.

"Is Genma coming too?" she said exasperatedly. "I'm not that drunk, pervs." She walked up the stairs by herself. The two jonin heard a door close before they looked back to the room.

Sakura was staring at them both, shock clearly written on her face. She had never seen her sensei act this way nor had she seen Yamato chase a girl before either. She had always assumed that Yamato was asexual or at least a super scheduled, regime oriented person. He was always in bed first, and rarely fully participated in drinking or any tom-foolery. She had witnessed Kakashi sneaking off with waitresses, bar-maids and servants on their missions before but never had she seen him express this much interest in a person outside of a one-night stand. Sakura had overheard Kurenai telling Ino about some of Kakashi's weirder sexual escapades but had blushed so hard she was forced to leave the room. She figured he had strange bedroom tastes because of his porn books but what she had heard the women talking about was too much for her to handle – especially when picturing her sensei doing it.

Ino had told Sakura that apparently Yamato had asked Nicole out on a date the other night. She had also overheard Shizune and her Shishou laughing about something that had happened between Kakashi, Yamato and Nicole on their last mission, but she had never gotten any details. Never had she expected the reclusive, antisocial girl from before to turn into such a harlot with the older jonin.

"I can't believe the change in her," Ino said to the room, somewhat bitterly. "She didn't even want our help but now she has you three fawning over her."

"To be fair, Genma fawns over anything with boobs," Sakura said.

Genma smiled at her, "And who is escorting you to the ball?"

Sakura scoffed and pushed Genma with such unrestrained force that he nearly flew from the couch and into the wall.

"What's taking Nina and Margot," Colby said angrily. "They've been up there forever."

"Troublesome," Shikamaru muttered beside Ino. Ino glared at him

"It takes a while to look this good," Ino said, smiling. Shikamaru subtly rolled his eyes.

By this time Tenzo had reclaimed his chair and downed a few more drinks. He was greatly bothered by Kakashi's actions throughout the day and couldn't get his head around why Nicole would have been in the man's apartment under the pretence of training, drunk. The other night had gone smoothly; at least he thought it had. He had laid off with being too sexually aggressive like she wanted but now she was acting weird towards him again. However, during the night she had not once brought up Kakashi and had kissed him fervently at the door. His plan for the night was to separate Kakashi from Nicole as much as possible but Kakashi was making that very difficult.

Footsteps down the stairs could be heard and the group collectively glanced over to see Margot and Nina emerge from the staircase. Both were dolled up in sundresses and up-dos. Margot had a bright smile as she saw the collection of Jonin around her. Ino jumped and started screeching about how good they looked in the dresses they had picked out earlier. The guys got up, relief on their faces as they could finally leave. It was during this chaos that drunk Kakashi snuck up the stairs unnoticed.

Silently Kakashi walked down the hallway towards Nicole's bedroom door. He didn't really know why he was up here, or what he was going to do. He knew what he wanted to do but that would be a detrimental mistake in the long haul of his master plan. He would just wander in under the pretence of drunkenly rushing her. At least it was him up here and not Tenzo, he smiled to himself.

As he approached the door he noticed that it was slightly open. He couldn't hear much movement coming from inside which surprised him considering the fact that she should be rushing. As quietly as possible he pressed himself to the door and peeked in hoping to catch a glimpse of her changing so as to further embarrass the young girl. What he saw was not what he was expecting. Nicole was lying on her bed, writhing in pleasure, soft but almost frustrated moans barely escaping her lips as he saw her hand down the front of her leggings. She wasn't wearing a shirt, he laughed to himself, she must have gotten distracted halfway through changing.

He watched her, noticing how much trouble she was having, and fought the overwhelming urge to walk in the room and help her out. Kakashi couldn't help but find it funny that she couldn't get her own self to where she needed. He also took great pride in the fact that her current state was likely caused by their training earlier. He felt his pants tighten as he watched the girl turn herself over on her stomach, ass in the air trying to get a better angle.

He could hear movement downstairs as the group began heading out and knew he didn't have long before Tenzo noticed his absence. The last thing he wanted was for Tenzo to stumble on this heavenly sight before him. Pulling up his hitae-ate he used his sharingan to memorize the site in front of him before backing away from the door. He purposefully stepped loudly enough for her to hear and casually knocked on the door before loudly saying, "What's taking you so long."

He heard her jump up, startled. He waited a few moments before pushing into the room, hoping that he could catch another glimpse of her and embarrass her. He wasn't disappointed. Nicole had whipped off her leggings and panties (he saw them crumpled in the corner of the room) and was in the middle of pulling on a new pair of leggings overtop of a pair of purple panties with green spots. Her face flushed and she threw a pillow at him.

He casually dodged it and walked further into the room.

"What are you doing," she said stumbling as she pulled up her leggings. "Get out!"

He swiftly caught her arm as she nearly fell over before saying, lowly, "You've been taking a really long time and you've barely managed to get pants on. I think you need some help."

Nicole just gulped. Kakashi was eying her with a dark look in his eyes. She was incredibly embarrassed and hoped he hadn't seen what she had been doing before. She was also incredibly frustrated. Her body ached with longing and unsatisfied lust. She had tried so hard to alleviate it but she just couldn't manage with her own hand. Her drunken mind told her to go for the sexy man in her room but she wasn't so drunk as to actually listen.

Her heart pounded as she watched Kakashi go to her closet and pull out a simple blue dress. He casually walked back to her and pulled it over her head, eye crinkled up in a smile. She shivered as his hands ghosted her sides as he pulled the dress over her body.

"You treat me like a child, you know that," she said, pouting.

"What I saw earlier is definitely not the actions of a child," he all but whispered into her ear, his breath tickling the nape of her neck. "With all those people waiting for you downstairs too, naughty," he tut-tutted.

Nicole's face turned bright red, she opened her mouth to reply but no sound came out. Kakashi laughed and added, "You looked like you were having trouble."

Nicole was saved from having to reply as a voice from the door grabbed their attention. "What are you doing up here Kakashi-sensei!?" Kakashi and Nicole turned to see Sakura, red faced, glaring at her sensei, Tenzo standing behind her with a satisfied smirk.

Kakashi swore inwardly to himself. Tenzo or Genma he could handle but Sakura was going to pummel him. Thinking on his feet he said, "I was just worried about her, she was taking so long." Trying his hardest to sound casual and sober.

Sakura was about to angrily stomp into the room when Ino's voice yelled up the stairwell, "FOREHEAD! LET'S GO ALREADY!" Sakura hesitated, looking down the stairs and angrily back at her sensei.

"Don't worry about it Sakura," Nicole said, her face still tinged with embarrassment. She didn't want anyone else finding out about what Kakashi saw. She wanted just to get out of this room, have more alcohol and forget what happened. "He really just helped me," she drunkenly giggled to further illustrate her point. Kakashi smiled and thanked the gods when Sakura huffed and abruptly left.

Tenzo eyed the pair warily, "Something happen?"

Kakashi shrugged and lead Nicole out of the room. She allowed herself to be lead out, anything to get away from this situation. She couldn't make eye contact with Tenzo.

They arrived to the Hyuga compound shortly after 5:30. The engagement party was taking place within the main gardens. They were greeted by a member of the lower branch and directed to the garden where there was a full bar, tables to sit at and a dance floor. Nicole recognized maybe a quarter of the people there. She saw the Hokage seated next to the bar happily downing rice wine while Shizune pestered her to stop.

Genma had wondered off after one of the Hyuga girls leaving Nicole with Kakashi and Tenzo. They all went up to grab a drink. Nicole downed her first one before eagerly asking for a second. Tenzo had been silent the entire walk over but still wouldn't leave her side. Kakashi had not brought up what happened in the bedroom again, yet.

"KAKASHI SENSEI," yelled an excited voice. A blond and orange blur ran up and engulfed the older man in a bear hug.

"Congratulations Naruto," Kakashi said choked out, barely being able to breath beneath the Kyubi container's grip.

Naruto smiled broadly letting go of Kakashi and pulled a blushing Hinata closer to him. She looked out of breath likely due to the fact that Naruto had been dragging her around at his top speed.

"Yes, congratulations Naruto," Tenzo said happily.

"It is wonderful isn't it! I've been waiting for the Hyuga council to condone it for months before I asked her," he rubbed the back of his head.

Nicole smiled at the young Hyuga girl, offering her congratulations. She couldn't help but become infatuated with the elegant kimono Hinata wore. It was a material that Nicole had never really seen before, patterned more ornately than any clothing she would have found in her home world. Her lowered inhibitions allowed her to approach the young girl and compliment her clothing profusely.

"Ah, thank you Nicole-san," Hinata smiled happily. "We got it custom made earlier today."

"Really? Can I ask where? I don't have one and have no idea where to get one and our mission scrolls for the upcoming test said we needed this formal wear for socializing with the other villages."

Hinata smiled brightly back at Nicole. "They are quite expensive but I can come by tomorrow some time and take you to the store if you'd like."

Nicole nodded happily, "Thank you! I had no idea what to do about it before."

"What about your training?" Kakashi said beside her.

Nicole's cheeks flushed and her heart dipped. "Ah, um I'll come by after I get the Kimono. It shouldn't take too long right?"

"No, it shouldn't take longer than an hour so I will come by around 10AM?" Hinata asked. Nicole nodded in reply before the young Hyuga was whisked off by Naruto.

Nicole moved back to the bar to get another drink when Tenzo came up beside her. "Would you like to dance?" he asked.

She looked at him startled and then laughed. "I actually can't really stand dancing," she replied, noticing the rejection mirrored on his face. She looked around the room and saw Sakura standing a few paces away staring out at the dance floor longingly. "I think Sakura wants to though, and considering that her best friend just announced his engagement I bet she really needs the attention."

Tenzo looked over at Sakura and sighed. Nicole was likely right. Sakura had not had much luck in love and Naruto's engagement would likely bother her even if she would never admit to it. He glanced back at Kakashi who had grabbed another drink and pulled out Icha Icha, seemingly uninterested in the party around him. He did not want to leave Nicole with him, he knew something had happened earlier in her bedroom and something was going on in Kakashi's apartment. But if he pressed Nicole about it he would just ruin his chances anyways.

"You sure you will be alright, you've drank a lot and…" he pointedly looked at Kakashi. "Something happened before didn't it?"

Nicole waved him off downing another drink. "S'fine. I just did something silly and he was teasing me. Don't worry about it," she smiled at him. Before she could really consider her actions she leant in and kissed Tenzo fully on the mouth. "Sakura needs you more than I."

Tenzo stood there mildly shocked. The kiss had taken him off guard and he walked towards Sakura quietly considering the implications.

Nicole turned from Tenzo and angrily sighed at herself. Why had she just done that… She was beyond confused in her feelings. She wasn't dating Tenzo exclusively, Christ they had only gone on one date. She wasn't even at this party with him. Her mind was reeling. She liked Tenzo, he was sweet and straight forward, but somehow boring. Even though he had been sexually aggressive at first the dinner later had solidified her fears that he was mundane despite his profession. To top it off she had no idea what was going on with Kakashi.

"That was cute," Kakashi said to her from behind Icha Icha.

Nicole rolled her eyes at him. "I don't know why I did that, honestly."

Kakashi decided to push her buttons. He didn't like what she had done. He felt jealousy coiling inside of him. This surprised him since it had been so long since he had become possessive of a female. He usually didn't care if they were seeing other men because it usually meant he could walk away easier.

"Maybe it's because you want him to help you where you cannot help yourself," he said, eyebrow raised suggestively.

Nicole blushed at him, swigging back another drink. Kakashi followed suit.

"About that… uh," she stumbled on her words. She really had no idea what to say to the older man.

"Hmm?" He casually moved in closer to her. "Willing to talk about it in such a public place are we? And before you couldn't even perform a genjutsu when we were alone in the training grounds."

"That was different," she said defensively.

Kakashi ignored her. "If I had known I was supplying masturbation material for my student I would have reconsidered what I was teaching you," he said teasingly.

Instead of blushing cutely like he expected she angrily pushed away from him and the bar and began moving across the party. He grabbed her arm reflexively and pulled her to a more secluded bench by a fountain.

"I'm sorry," he said laughingly, "I'll lay off you. It was just funny. No need to get all embarrassed it's completely natural."

She huffed at him in response. Her body was fuzzy with alcohol. She giggled back at Kakashi and said "S'okay."

Kakashi could see that Nicole was completely drunk now. He laughed as he realized they had only been at the party for an hour and the poor girl was already almost done for the night.

"You feeling okay," he said stumbling over some of his own words. Apparently he was about done in as well.

Nicole just giggled, stood up wobbling and motioned for him to follow her. Kakashi's eyebrows raised in confusion but he followed nonetheless. Eyes screening the crowd to make sure Tenzo was still occupied. He spotted Tenzo on the dance floor, smiling broadly with a giggling Sakura. It struck Kakashi that the two looked natural together.

Nicole had dragged him off away from the main crowd of people. They were no longer in the main gardens but she hadn't slowed down.

"Where are we going," he asked, mildly amused.

She abruptly stopped, looked up at the roof to the building and jumped. Kakashi had a moment of panic as he saw her lose her footing on the roof but she quickly regained it. He casually jumped up after her landing heavily rather than his usually cat-like stealth.

She sat down a few feet up near the apex of the roof, pulled out a joint and lit it. Kakashi chuckled drunkenly before seating himself beside her. "You know you could have done that somewhere on the ground."

She inhaled the smoke, smiled back at him and handed it to him. "But down there you wouldn't take off your mask to join me!"

He stared at her blankly. "Who said I was going to up here either."

She laughed. "Cuz! I've seen your face before," she paused to inhale again, giggling. He saw a pink tint to her cheeks. "So it doesn't matter."

Kakashi shrugged and accepted the joint. "It has been years since I've done this."

She watched as he pulled down his mask, trying not to seem too mesmerized by his face. He was truly handsome, but not overly rugged. He took a few drags of it before quickly repositioning his mask and handing it back to her.

Kakashi felt the drug sink into his system, mixing with the alcohol. He never thought he'd see the day when a young girl could peer pressure him so much. "You're a bad influence on me," he chuckled "Day drinking, and smoking Taima like a teenager on a roof."

She scoffed back at him. "You're the one that got me day drunk!"

He watched her giggle back at him, joy spreading through his heart. At this moment he wanted nothing more than to embrace her, taking her right there on the roof. But this was not a part of his plan. She needed to come to him. He smiled to himself as he pictured the state she would be in once she finally relented to her lust. It had been far too long since he got to fully dominate a woman, since he had been able to make a fresh, innocent girl submit. The nature of his other relationships had been too quick to allow as much fun and games as he had planned for Nicole.

"You won't tell anyone about earlier, right?" she asked, bashful.

He smirked back at her, time to play, he thought. "You don't want me to tell Tenzo? He could likely help you seeing as you were experiencing…difficulties."

He watched as emotions fluttered across her face as she was no longer able to hide them as well as normal. She did, however, surprise him by not blushing and replying quickly with, "Maybe, but it'd just be as easy to get a sex toy."

Nicole heard the words come out of her mouth before she could stop herself. She had always had this problem when she was drinking – her bluntness was intensified and she would blurt out anything that came flittering through her mind.

Kakashi processed the information and burst out laughing, the high having fully set in now. Nicole had never seen him let go as much as he did in this moment.

"Why don't you go buy one then? If it's been like this the entire time you've been here and with you reading Icha Icha I can only assume you've been quite frustrated," he chuckled.

Embarrassment forgotten Nicole excitedly said "You have them here! I thought…I just assumed you wouldn't."

"Well what are we talking about here? Hmm?" he grabbed the joint she had been hogging off of her and pulled down his mask to inhale, finishing it off for the night. "Do you just need a dildo to get deep in there?"

"No!" she punched him hard on the shoulder. Embarrassment sinking in again as her cheeks reddened. "Just a little vibrator, if those exist, would be nice."

Kakashi laughed openly at her. "Go buy one tomorrow."

"Where?" she asked.

Kakashi's mind clicked onto a new component of his plan, smiling to himself he said "I'll take you there before or after training… you'll likely need it."

Her face flushed brilliant crimson. She stood up abruptly as if intending to scold him while standing but slipped. Kakashi's reflexes were too slow to catch her and he watched as she fell off the roof. He rushed to the side of the roof to look down at where she fell. She had fallen directly into a bush, laughing hysterically. He couldn't help but join in too.

Shortly after Tenzo had found them. Nicole's dress was ripped and she had a few scrapes from the bush as well as one nasty bruise on her torso because of how she landed. Tenzo angrily ordered Kakashi to get Sakura who healed Nicole up and ordered the pair of them to head home immediately as they were clearly too drunk to handle themselves properly. Tenzo said he would escort Nicole home and Kakashi stubbornly said he would too. Both of them wanted to ensure the other didn't take advantage of her drunken state. Somehow they both ended up escorting her directly to her room, where all three promptly fell asleep.
