Kakashi didn't sleep that night.
As tired as he was, he was simply too restless to sleep. Choosing to prowl around the living room, and alternate between pacing and sitting down and reading. By the time it was time to get up and get ready to fix breakfast, he felt as if his nerves were stretched so taunt that they may snap at any moment. So by the time Uzu came out of his bedroom dressed and more or less ready to start the day, he was so full of restless energy that he tackled her to the floor the second that he saw her.
She didn't even have time to scream before his body slammed into her and knocked her back onto the floor with a soft thud as he pinned her there with his body, the back of her head resting in his palm, his little way of keeping form hurting her as he licked the corner of her lips and rubbed the side of his face against hers, gently pushing her head one way, then the other before nuzzling the under side of her jaw, her small hands came up and pushed against his chest as he licked her one last time before rolling off of her and jumping back up to his feet suddenly feeling a bit better than he had a second ago.
She rubbed her lips with the back of her hand and gave him a funny look and he forced himself to smile at her questioning look. "Missed you." He said in a rough raspy voice as she got up.
"Is that normal for a pet?" She asked curiously, that cute, funny look still on her face. He smiled then ran his tongue along his lower lip, tasting her there and made a soft growling sound. God she tasted so good.
"It is if the pet is fond of it's master." He said after a second or so, his mis matched eyes staring at her, unblinking.
She frowned at him. "I thought that you didn't like me."
"I wouldn't become your pet if I didn't like you." At least on some deep level. He though as he leaned down and waited for her to pat him on the head. She sighed and reached out and gently ran her finger tips through his hair, he closed his eyes and suddenly felt the restlessness ease from his body and he relaxed a bit and sighed. This was nice. Her touch was different from what he was used too.
Different, but nice just the same.
"I'll fix us some breakfast-" Uzu said as let her hand drop back to her side and she started to step away from him when he reached out and put the palm of his left hand against her forehead and pushed back a little. She yelped and staggered back, her eyes staring at him warily.
"It's the pet's job to please the master, not the other way around. I'll fix our breakfast. You just sit down someplace and get comfortable until I'm done." He said as he straitened his spine. She looked like she wanted to argue with him for a second but seemed to think better of it and walked over to the couch and sat down and crossed her ankles and folded her hands neatly in her lap. Somehow managing to look like she was giving in to him, and defiant at the same time.
He gave her a slow smile, his mind wandering a bit. Training today was going to get really interesting really fast. He could tell by the way that she looked at him. He bit the inside of his cheek and walked into the kitchen and dug out a pan, some eggs, bacon, and some sausage to fix and twenty minutes later the two of them were sitting down at his table eating what he had fixed.
"We're going to be late." Uzu said as she nibbled on a piece of sausage and looked up at the clock hanging on his wall across the room. It was ten forty five. And training usually didn't start until ten fifty five.
Kakashi noted the amusement in her voice and looked at the clock and made a humming sound. He didn't really care if they were late or not since he was following Uzu's lead, he wouldn't leave his apartment until she was ready to leave herself. "Doesn't matter. Just focus on eating your food."
"You really hate being on time, huh?" Uzu said with a grin as she polished off the last of her bacon and eggs then started to lick her fingers when his hand shot across the table and grasped her wrist and pulled her hand away from her mouth and stood up a bit and leaned over the table and ran his tongue over the pads of her fingers. Licking away the grease before his mouth closed around one finger and he sucked on it a bit.
His eyes flickering to her face, noticing the soft pink blush that stained her cheeks as he let the finger go and moved on to the next. She jerked a bit, trying to pull her hand free of his grasp before going perfectly still. He felt her curve her finger in his mouth, brushing his tongue with it and causing him to bite down on her finger a little bit before he let her finger go and shifted his grip on her wrist to her fore arm and ran his tongue along the veins in her wrist.
She made a squeaking sound and jumped up out of her chair, he forced himself to let go of her arm and watched her all but run across the room to the door babbling. "Oh man, will you look at the time. We're going to be late. Like really late and we should be going, so I'm going out now and you can just do whatever you want-"
His mind latched on to the words 'whatever you want' and a billion dizzying scenario's ran through his mind as he walked across the room and grabbed his mask and head band and pulled them on before following her out the door.
He caught up to her as she was starting to go down the stairs, glancing to his left when he saw Genma and Asuma trying to flatten their backs against the wall of the stair case as he and Uzu passed them. He heard Genma's voice and growled softly and turned his head to glare at the man when Genma almost yelled.
"Holy shit, what is Kakashi doing with Uzumaki-chan?"
Asuma put his hand over the other nin's mouth as Kakashi turned his head to glare at them, the sound of his warning, do-not-fuck-with-me growl echoing loud in the stair way before he turned back around and jumped several steps so that he was practically on top of the blond girl, his big body crowding her own a little bit as he walked.
Asuma craned his neck and looked down as the bottom door to the stair well opened and the Hatake stepped through the door behind the girl and Asuma finally removed his hand from Genma's mouth and whistled. I think I heard a lot of screaming coming from Kakashi's place last night.
"Really? Who do you think he was killing?"
"I..." Asuma stopped speaking as he went over what he knew about Kakashi in his head. 1) He was the last of the Hatake blood line. One of the five most prestige's clans in the village. He was a confirmed bachelor, he was independently wealthy, had a damn good reputation as one of the most ruthless and cold blooded shinobi in the village.
He slept around from time to time. Had his own fan club of rabid fan girls who would do anything to get his attention and become the next Mrs. Hatake.
And 2) Kakashi was a lone wolf type of guy. He was mean spirited, sadistic, and more likely to rip out a person's heart with his bare hand and take a bite out of it. He liked some rules, though he bent and broke others as he pleased. He was never on time. And he never, never, never everinvited anyone to his apartment to stay for any reason. Even the people that he was friends with weren't allowed to step foot in his place for fear of being attacked by him.
So to be perfectly honest Asuma had no fucking idea why the man had had Uzumaki with him, or why he had seemed to be shielding her with his body when he had gotten almost right on top of her while following her down the steps. It had almost been like-
He was trying to protect his mate...
Asuma got a funny expression on his face and paled a little bit as that thought accrued to him. "I just remembered that I have a mission. Yeah, that's it. A mission. One that will take me far, far away from here."
(*************************************************************************************************************************************************************)
Kakashi stayed as close as he dared to Uzu as they walked down the street to the bridge where they were meeting Sauske and-
He sighed, fuck he had forgotten about Sakura for a little while there. His mind choosing to forget about her and all of the unpleasantness that he knew that he and Uzu would be facing today. He didn't know enough about Sakura's mind to understand what she would be doing to hurt Uzu and lash out at him, but he knew enough to know that Sakura was a very vindictive and catty person by nature, and wouldn't hesitate to sink her claws into Uzu and rip her apart.
He grasped Uzu's wrist as soon as the bridge came into view and pulled her into an alley with him, ignoring the angry stares and whispers that the villagers were directing at Uzu. And pushed her up against the wall of the nearest building and pinned her there with his hands on either side of her shoulders. He needed her to be aware that Sakura was pissed not just at him, but her too. He needed her to be aware that the girl was out to snare him as her husband and would do anything to drive Uzu away from him.
Sakura would lie. She would lash out blindly. And even attack her physically as well as mentally the second that his back was turned. "Kakashi, what are you-" Uzu started to ask him what he was doing, he caught the flash of temper in her violet eyes and knew that it would be his undoing because instead of warning her he leaned down and kissed her, lightly, gently, brushing his lips across hers before remembering that he had promised that he would act as her pet and switching from a kiss to an affectionate lick along her bottom lip before saying.
"I need you to stay where I can see you. Don't say more than absolutely necessary to Sakura about anything. Don't tell her that your staying with me-" He said as he nuzzled her cheek, his breath brushing across her skin, making her shiver. "Don't tell her that I've kissed you, or that I'm acting as your pet. Don't listen to anything hurtful that she might say to you." He moved back a little bit and framed her face with his hands and tipped her head back so that she was looking at him and brushed his lips across hers again as he continued to speak.
"And for the love of god, Uzu don't go off with her somewhere no matter what she does or says to convince you. She will hurt you as soon as she sees an opening and I need to be able to see you and reachyou just to be safe. Understand?" Uzu nodded her head and he touched his head band to hers and closed his blue eye for a second and smiled at her.
"Okay. Lets go get this over with." He followed her out of the alley and the rest of the way to the bridge where his other two students were waiting.
Sauske turned to look at them and smiled a little bit when he saw Uzu. Kakashi caught the sudden happy look on the boys face and had to resist picking him up and tossing him off of the bridge. He was sweet on Uzu. Kakashi bared his teeth behind his mask in a silent snarl. How dare the little punk be interested in his Uzu.
"Hi Uzu." The Uchiha said as he smiled shyly at the girl. Uzu looked a little surprised that he would even bother to speak to her now that she wasn't in the hospital and gave him a friendly smile in return as she muttered a quiet, "Mornin." To the Uchiha as Sakura came walking up to her, her expression blank as she stared at the blond.
What did Uzu have that she didn't? She wondered as she looked the girl over. It couldn't be just the size of her breasts. Kakashi wasn't that shallow. Nor was it her appearance, though she was very pretty. It was something else, it had to be. Maybe she had some trick that she used on him during sex. Because she refused to believe that Kakashi Hatake would or could honestly care for the girl for something other than sex.
It just wasn't possible. "Did you have fun with sensei last night?" Sakura asked after a second or so, an evil smirk on her face.
Uzu looked at the pinkette and blinked. "It was okay, I guess." Uzu said as she wondered what Sakura was up too. Sakura smiled at her.
"Did you like having him to yourself?"
Sakura was fishing for something, but for the life of her; Uzu couldn't figure out what it was that the pinkette was after. She looked at Kakashi as he moved to lean against the railing, and crossed his arms over his chest and stared at Sakura as if he were trying to drill a hole in her skull with his gaze. I-I guess so. Uzu said after a second or so as Sakura started to walk a little circle around her.
Uzu twisted around to follow Sakura's movements, spinning herself in a half circle so that she could track the other girl with her eyes, suddenly feeling very nervous that Sakura was acting so strangely, and she didn't want the pinkette behind her for any reason since her back was her blind spot. "Did touching him feel nice? Did he arch under your hand and moan?"
Kakashi narrowed his eye at the pinkette and moved to grab her shoulder. His fingers closed over her shoulder through her shirt and Sakura twisted her head to look at him. Her smile never faltered. "Your out of line Sakura." He hated it when people asked such personal questions about him.
"Am I? But I'm just trying to appease my curiousity as your former lover."
"No you're not. Your purposely bullying her. Now back off and leave her alone." He growled at the girl and pushed her a little bit, intending to force her away from Uzu. Sakura staggered back a little bit and snarled at the jounin.
"Why sensei, are you actually standing up for your lover? That isn't like you. Your usually such a cold blooded bastard." Kakashi said nothing, part of him acknowledging her words as fact, usually he didn't bother to defend his lovers, but Uzu was a special case to him. She felt like more than a simple lover to him. He dropped down to one knee next to Uzu and grasped her wrist in his hand and pulled her into his arms, his temper rising dangerously. He wanted to shut the girl up, make her disappear, and leave him alone.
"So what if I am. What I do with my personal life and my personal time are none of your fucking busness Sakura. Who I like, who I do not like, who I fuck-are'nt any of your buisness."
"You don't love her!" Sakura cried. The very idea that he might love the blond pissed her off so badly that she wanted to rip her to pieces.
"You don't know that!" Kakashi roared so loudly that Uzu and Sauske both flinched and clapped their hands over their ears. He glared at the shocked expression on the pinkettes face. He was kidding right. He had to be. Hatake Kakashi didn't fall for women. They fell for him.
Kakashi wrapped his arms around Uzu and hugged her tightly, needing the slight contact to help him stay calm enough not to murder the annoying chit screaming at him as if she had a right to him or something. He knew her plan was to snare him and marry him, and probably use him as a pawn for something but he didn't know everything.
Maybe it was time that he paid her bitch of a mother a visit and knock some sense into her.
He was not someone that could easily be used! Nor was he anyone that would be easily used.
"But you can't mean it! You can't be in love with her!" Sakura sobbed in denial. Kakashi couldn't be in love with Uzu. Because if he was then it would mean that she had failed completely and utterly, her life as she knew it would end. Because there would be no way to change Kakashi's mind. Even if Uzu were to disappear or die, he would never stop looking for her, or mourning her. He would make himself off limits to her and everyone else for any reason and would never seek out another female as long as he lived!
Kakashi glared at her and gently pulled Uzu's hands down away from her ears and growled, "Then watch and learn." He tangled his fingers in Uzu's soft reddish blond hair and licked the corner of her mouth before sealing his lips over hers.
Uzu opened her mouth automatically to ask him what he was doing and nearly died on the spot when he slipped his tongue into her mouth. Oh god, he was going to finish her off using the same method that he had almost killed her with last night. Ekk! She thought as she moaned and tried to push him away. He captured her wrists in one hand and angled her body so that she couldn't struggle against him as he stole her breath.
Sliding his tongue along hers before retreating a bit. Uzu's body jerked a bit, as if she had just recieved an electric shock to her system and she whimpered. Her lungs were starting to burn again, and she could see dark spots dancing in front of her eyes. Her head spun and she made one last attempt to try and tell him that he was killing her, the sound came out weaker than she would have liked as everything went black again.
Kakashi tore his mouth from Uzu's and swore as he gathered her body in his arms. Un-fucking-believable.
She had swooned on him again.
