Chapter Eleven
The morning after
Sakura woke up the next morning surprised to find her body still wrapped around Kakashi. She thought for sure the famous Kohona playboy would be gone by the time she woke up.
Sakura smiled thinking about the previous night. Kakashi was spectacular. When he said he was thorough the man was not joking. Her body was deliciously sore from the previous night's activities. What she really wanted was to jump him again but she wasn't too sure how welcome that would be. So she began easing her body away from him in order to head to the shower. When she had made it out of the bed she looked down at his slumbering body and couldn't help but smile. He was beautiful. She had always loved beautiful things. Sakura shook her head nad continued on towards the shower.
Kakashi awakened to the shower running. He smiled thinking about the vixen he had stumbled upon. He had no idea that Sakura was his walking fantasy. He couldn't bring himself to get up and leave. He found himself wanting to stay with her. He wanted to get to know her better. Sure, she had been his pupil for years but he suddenly realized that he didn't know her at all. What he had uncovered thus far was the type of woman that could fascinate him for life. He probably should be running for the hills but instead he decided to join said woman in the shower.
Hands wrapped around her waist and pulled her against a muscled wet body. He leaned down and whispered in her ear. "Good morning." Sakura shivered delicately.
"Good morning yourself."
Kakashi nipped at her ear. "Do I get a good morning kiss?"
"Nope." Sakura replied grinning. Kakashi turned Sakura to face him holding her shoulders firmly.
"I could just take one."
"They say stolen kisses are the sweetest." Kakashi began to lean toward Sakura taking that as an invitation. "But they're wrong." Kakashi froze and Sakura turned around and resumed washing quite pleased with herself. She glanced back at Kakashi to find him watching her clean herself and she found that he was quite excited by what he saw.
So Sakura turned and began to wash him as well. He groaned at her tender touch. Once he was clean she lead him out of the shower.
They exited the bathroom and Kakashi grabbed her.
"Kakashi I have to be at the hospital."
"When?" He asked nibbling on her ear.
"Five minutes ago." Sakura replied.
"We have plenty of time then."
Sakura laughed. "Five minutes ago by my schedule not yours." She pulled out of his grasp. She grabbed her clothes and proceeded to get dressed. It soon dawned on her. She had just slept with her sensei. Ex-sensei. Her mouth formed a perfect O. She shrugged it off though. It seemed he still had a few things left to teach her. A smirk formed on her lips.
She looked and saw he was following her lead and getting dressed. When they were ready to exit her apartment Sakura walked towards the door. Kakashi's hand reached out and took hold of her wrist.
"How about dinner later?"
Sakura froze. She had never thought beyond last night. Here he was asking for what..a date? Sakura frowned.
"I don't know if that is such a good idea."
"Why not?"
"Kakashi last night was one thing. It was fun and extremely enjoyable but what is this leading to?"
It was now Kakashi's turn to frown. "You're asking me to define the relationship I want with you."
"I am." Sakura said somewhat apologetically.
"I don't know if I can yet."
Sakura put her hands on her hips. "It's rather simple Kakashi. Tell me what you want and I'll tell you if I can give it to you."
Kakashi shoved his hands into his pockets. "Well, what do you want?" Sakura was momentarily stunned. She didn't know what she wanted either so she smiled at Kakashi who smiled back. "You don't know either."
"I haven't a clue. So why don't we revisit this when this doesn't feel so awkward."
"But this is something. This thing between us."
"It is." Sakura agreed. "But I think we have done things out of order."
"What's so bad about that?" Kakashi inquired.
"You don't know me. Not really anyway. I think that before you sleep with someone you intend to have some form of relationship with you should know them."
Kakashi had to agree that there was quite a bit that he didn't know about Sakura. He was glad he had been enlightened.
"So what? You want me to court you?" He said jokingly. Delight shone in Sakura's eyes. To be courted by Kakashi had some interesting possibilities.
Kakashi didn't like the look in her eyes. "Sakura I was just joking."
"Joking? It was a good idea. I think I want to be courted."
"Like with flowers and chocolate?" He said incredulously.
"I want you to do this your way. If that means flowers and chocolate then by all means indulge me. I guess my point really is that I want to know you not just your body."
They stood in a companionable silence for a while with Kakashi thinking over her proposal. When he came to a conclusion he said, "Psh! Forget this you're not worth it." He turned abruptly and walked out the door.
Well, at least that was a brief thought that passed through his mind before he realized that she probably was worth it but he wouldn't know for sure until he tried. It wasn't like him to give up before a battle was even fought.
"Okay, but don't complain if you don't like my methods."
"Deal."
