AN: I will try to keep posting as frequently as I am :) I am very happy that you are enjoying this as much as I am enjoying writing it. I am going through a move and starting a new fully time job next week so my updates may slow down, but I will try to keep up! Again, Reviews are more than welcome - they are actually highly appreciated.
Nicole awoke slowly. Her head pounded and she was incredibly thirsty. The light was bright in her room as her curtains were not closed properly. She lay there with her eyes closed trying to will her body to move and close the curtains. Just as she was about to finally move she felt a shift in her bed, a grunt and felt a pair of hands snake around from behind her and pull her close. Just as she began to open her eyes in shock another body pushed into her front and cuddled in close.
Her mind raced for any details from the night before. The last thing she remembered was sitting on the roof with Kakashi. She felt her face flush as she remembered their conversation and prayed that he didn't remember. She opened her eyes to finally see who was in bed with her. She stared, shocked, at a sleeping Tenzo. She moved her head to looked behind her and saw a shock of white hair. Her movement caused the Copy-nin to stir and pull her closer. She felt his hands slide up around her breasts. She squeaked and tried to wriggle away from Kakashi's grip but ended up pushing into Tenzo more.
Both of the Jonin began to awake at the same time as Nicole squirmed in her bed. They looked at each other and then at the girl in confusion. Tenzo swiftly removed himself from the bed whereas Kakashi just laid his head back down on the pillow.
"Well, this is interesting," he muttered.
"What happened, did we-?" Nicole looked down at herself in relief as she realized she was fully clothed. She glanced over at Tenzo, "Were you that drunk too?"
Tenzo smiled bashfully, "I guess so…" truthfully the girl had made them lay on her bed with her, a drunken chatterbox. Telling them all about the details of her past life. They must have all fallen asleep together on the double bed.
"Fuck, what time is it," Nicole said rifling around on the bedside table for her alarm clock. "9:30! Shit." She jumped up from the bed, frantic. She rushed to her closet and began pulling out clothes. "You guys need to get out now, I have to get ready for –"
She was interrupted by a knock at her door. "Nicole-san, Hinata and I are here," the door opened and Sakura casually walked in. "I hope you don't mind that I'm –" she froze at the scene before her.
Tenzo was casually sitting on the floor of Nicole's bed, clearly dishevelled. He was not wearing his standard issue flak jacket nor his head-piece. Kakashi was lying on the bed, head in the pillow curled up in Nicole's blanket. Nicole was frozen in between the two men, her ripped dress from the night before hiked up high on her legs. Hinata looked in on the scene, her face turning a light shade of pink.
"Sensei!" Sakura said angrily. "Tenzo! What… the fuck!?"
"It's not what you think," Kakashi said lazily. "And turn it down, my head hurts," he whined.
"Guh," Nicole sighed, frustrated. "Get out would you! Both of you! I'll see you later for training Kakashi." She forcibly pushed Tenzo out of the room past the girls in the doorway before all but dragging Kakashi out of the bedroom. Hinata and Sakura remained in the room looking at Nicole, flabbergasted.
Nicole rushed around, pulling on clothes without a hint of modesty. She paused to rifle in a drawer. "I can't find any fucking aspirin," she said angrily.
Sakura giggled lightly, "Come here, I can alleviate most of the symptoms of your hangover but what you really need is water and a good breakfast." She moved to place a hand on Nicole's forehead and abdomen, green chakra flowing out. Nicole sighed in relief.
"I'm really sorry about this, but would you guys mind going to breakfast first?" she asked.
Hinata smiled and laughed lightly. "Of course Nicole-san."
"Yea, let's go. You can tell us all about your love triangle," Sakura smirked.
Nicole sighed and followed them out of her room and out of the house.
"Yea.. so that's…that.." Nicole finished awkwardly. The three girls were seated on the outdoor patio of a small café that Hinata claimed was fantastic for breakfast.
Sakura was laughing loudly and Hinata was giggling cutely at Nicole's recounting of the events between her, Kakashi and Tenzo over the past couple of weeks.
"I think Kakashi is deliberately messing with you," Sakura said between giggles. "He can be sadistic. Some of the stuff he did to us during training was pretty humiliating."
"But was it overtly sexual?" Nicole asked.
Sakura's cheeks pinkened slightly at the question. "Never. I once caught him leering at me when I was wearing a pair of shorts that had shrunk in the wash. But after a swift punch he never tried that again."
"Naruto thinks that Kakashi likes you," Hinata said, teasingly.
Sakura brushed that off. "I have never seen Kakashi seek out a relationship. He is probably just enjoying seeing you squirm and struggle with Yamato's attention."
"Maybe…" Nicole mulled this over in her mind. She hadn't told them everything… some of the details to her conversations with Kakashi and the nature of her training the past couple days were too embarrassing to repeat.
"So when's the big day," Nicole asked Hinata, trying to get the attention away from herself.
Hinata smiled broadly, clearly the happiest person on earth at her situation. "In a month. The last month of summer during the first weekend."
Nicole's mind stumbled on this detail. The first weekend of the last month of summer would typically be her birthday weekend back in her world. Her smile faltered.
"Did I say something wrong?" Hinata asked shyly, confused.
"Oh no, hahah," Nicole laughed. "I just realized that that's my birthday, if the months line up with the months back home… I guess I could just call it my birthday regardless," she finished thoughtfully.
"We'll have to throw you a party after the wedding," Sakura said excitedly as she stood up from the table. "Come on, lets go pick out your Kimono. I have to get back to the hospital. I left Nina there with Shizune and a very hung over Lady Tsunade."
Nicole approached the traditional style building that Kakashi lived in. It was shortly after 1PM and she was mildly late for her training. She was nervous. Her heart was pounding. Sakura and Hinata had not helped ease her mind about the whole situation. She was more so nervous about the last conversation she could remember having with Kakashi. I can't believe he offered to take me sex toy shopping, she muttered in her mind.
She had gone home briefly in between shopping with the girls and training with Kakashi. She had packed all that was needed, or what she thought she would need, in a travel bag. Sakura had shown her how to seal things within scrolls so that she could ensure her new Kimono wouldn't get ruined on the trip. She was even further delayed by her desperate need to shower- she had found pieces of bush in her hair which confused her to no end.
As she was about to walk into the door of the building the white-haired Copy-nin himself walked out, nearly bumping into her.
"Oh hey," Nicole mumbled out.
Kakashi looked down at her. His hangover had just abated when he realized what time it was and had decided to go looking for the girl. "You are late."
"Learned from the best," she smiled sheepishly. Kakashi chuckled at her.
"Feeling better, I presume?" He asked as he motioned for her to follow him away from the building. She looked at him quizzically, wondering where they were going before replying.
"Yea, a lot better. Sorry about this morning. The whole situation took me by surprize." She laughed.
"I was none too happy with waking up to Tenzo either," he winked and her heart fluttered.
She coughed as the man lead her across the city. "Where are we going anyways?"
Kakashi remained silent. It wasn't too long before Nicole began to notice a distinct change in their surroundings. They were not family friendly changes, to say the least. She felt her face growing hot and her heart fluttering faster as she realized he had led her into some sort of red-light district. He remembered last night, embarrassment flooded her system.
Kakashi casually walked into a shop that had dark, velvet curtains hanging over the windows. The sign above the store read Saki's Playground. Nicole hesitated at the door, she felt her body freezing up with awkward toned anxiousness. She could see Kakashi glance behind him, eyebrow raised in challenge. She sucked in a breath, gathered her resolve and forced herself through the doors.
The shop was dimly lit, and larger than what Nicole had expected. For some reason the village hidden in the leaves had felt very traditionally minded to her. She had figured any of these types of shops would be hidden down dark alleyways, away from prying eyes. She awkwardly followed Kakashi further into the store. Her eyes steeled, both avoiding and attempting to casually glance at the items around her. She could tell Kakashi was watching her reactions. The way he had looked at her earlier, as if waiting to pass judgement on something. She wasn't sure what he was playing at but he was definitely testing her. Nicole watched Kakashi raise a hand in casual greeting to the middle-aged woman behind the shop-counter. The way the woman was staring at Kakashi made Nicole's heart jerk possessively. She watched as the shopkeeper's eyes glanced over Nicole with distaste.
Kakashi continued to lead Nicole further into the shop. He laughed to himself as Nicole tried to maintain composure. He wasn't certain that she remembered their conversation on the roof from the night before. He knew she was trying not to succumb to her embarrassment, but that could just be from an impromptu trip to a sex shop rather than their conversation the night before.
He stopped at the back of the store, in front of them stood a wall display of various types of vibrators. Kakashi shifted his gaze to look at Nicole, keeping his eyes as lazy and apathetic as possible.
Nicole's face burnt as she felt the white haired nin's gaze. Nothing to do but pick and get out of here, she thought, her eyes roaming the display before her. She wasn't really sure what she was looking at. Back home she would have searched product reviews on the internet to make sure that it was made well, had enough power, and what the power supply or battery life was like. She didn't even know if these were battery powered. She picked a promising looking one and tried to read the box for details.
"Do I need to get the shopkeeper for help?" Kakashi asked slyly. Nicole froze, he was much closer than she had realized. Rather than getting awkward or angry Nicole decided to try and beat him at whatever game he was playing with her.
"I just want to make sure it has enough power. I don't want to end up with a bad one," she said back at him.
Kakashi smiled to himself. She had played right into his hands. Moving in slightly closer as he reached to one above her reach, he gently brushed her back with his front. He felt her stiffen slightly beneath him. He handed her the box as he leaned back away from her. "This is the best from my experience."
She looked back at him, eyebrow raised. "Your experience?"
He chuckled lightly at her before leaning in to say in a lowered voice, "Well they seemed to like it." Followed by a wink. Nicole ignored him and turned the box over to check the price, her heart nearly stopped.
"This is expensive," she nearly whispered.
"You get what you pay for," Kakashi said, amused.
"Yea…" she sighed as she began to put the box back on the shelf. "I really don't have enough money after that Kimono earlier."
Kakashi's quick mind adapted to the new information and jumped at the opportunity she presented. Silently moving his hand to grab her wrist, he took the box out of her hand and went up to the cashier. Nicole followed after him in confusion and mild panic. He couldn't be…
The woman behind the counter eyed Kakashi up appreciatively before she saw the product he was holding. She glanced between Kakashi and Nicole in shock before accepting the bills he handed her. The shop-girl placed the toy inside a black bag that had Saki's Playground written across it in pink bold letters. Kakashi smiled at the woman before taking the bag and leading an awkward Nicole out of the store and back towards his apartment. He casually pulled out Icha Icha Strap to read on their silent walk back.
Nicole's whole body burnt, her heart fluttered dangerously in her chest. She didn't know what she was walking into, what he was expecting. She was in shock that he had bought it, but he wasn't handing it over to her either. She sighed to herself, this is so awkward.
