Chapter 21

Ritsuka struggled against Kakashi, his gentleman like nature going too far this time.

"I can carry my own fucking bag! I'm not an invalid! I feel awesome!" Kakashi rolled his eyes as he tried to crush her fingers slightly to force her to let go.

"Ritsuka, what use are you going to be if you over do things and I have to carry you? Don't you see a pattern in your apparent self destructive nature?" Ritsuka huffed in annoyance.

"I have been overdoing things for the past six years, and you weren't there to carry my bag then. So I suppose I'll just go on as I have been, and suck it up!" Kakashi let go of her bag then, his brow knitted in annoyance. That had been a little harsh, and the girl's usual tact about these things was nowhere to be seen.

"And you were in some mess when I found you. Sucking it up just doesn't cut it. Never did and never will when it comes to you." Ritsuka put her backpack on her back and shoved her hair behind her ears. She didn't know why she was so annoyed; Kakashi had been so good to her. He was just trying to help... She took deep breaths as she fought to keep her rage in check, not sure that she had ever really been angry with silver haired shinobi. Frustrated, yeah, all the time, but angry? She felt quite ridiculous, but couldn't control it.

"Yeah, well I have my shinobi abilities back, and my chakra. So I think I'll be fine." Kakashi shrugged as he walked on to where the shinobi that were participating in the 'search for Kentaro' mission meeting up, just ahead. Ritsuka watched as he left her behind, her heart aching as she felt tears fill her eyes. What the hell was wrong with her? She looked down at her hands as her tears bounced off of them, her sobs racking through her painfully. Her knees buckled under the strain of her breakdown, but Kakashi's strong arms prevented her from hitting the ground. She clutched at his flak jacket, her hands balling into fists. "Fuck!" Kakashi stared at her, unsure on what to do. This had been a normal argument, maybe with a little more venom that he was used to from the girl, so why was she so upset? "Don't leave me!" Kakashi pulled back from Ritsuka to look into her eyes, his expression confused.

"Why would I leave you?" Ritsuka shook her head as she sucked in some deep breaths, her laboured breathing calming slightly. She could feel herself getting hysterical. But what the fuck for? Kakashi pulled Ritsuka back into a hug, deciding that this was probably just a reaction to everything that had happened. The girl had been bound to crack at some point, and he was quite surprised it hadn't happened sooner. Though this was a little in convenient...

"I don't... know... what's wrong... with me." She rubbed and squeezed her hands nervously as she tried to block out all of her thoughts, her huge and terrifying fears of Kakashi leaving her apparently having sneaked in somewhere along the line. Maybe it was all this good stuff that had been happening was making her expect the worst? Or maybe she was just insane? Or she was broken...

"There is nothing wrong with- "

"Are you blind?" Ritsuka burst out, clearly not handling this as well as she had been portraying. This had all been kept inside for so long, and she had finally relaxed into her new life. Kakashi took a deep breath, realising that this was a time for silence and reassurance, rather than a time for talking sense into the girl. He was never too amazing at this due to Ritsuka always being able to talk her way through things when they were together, and he was quite relieved that he had paid attention through it all. It had helped him help her in ways that only he could, with things that he would even have thought of. He held her tightly as reality hit him again and he began to panic about time, but everyone was used to the silver haired shinobi being late. This just wasn't one of those silly missions though.

"Can you do this?" Kakashi pulled away from her again, his gaze analysing her. "I need you to be able to do this, or we are pretty screwed. I will have to find another way, and I would rather do this sooner rather than later. I'm not going to take you all the way back to the place you spent so long trying to escape to have you breakdown like this. I can't get rid of Kentaro and keep you from killing yourself at the same time." Ritsuka bit back her sobs as she steadied herself, surprised at the worry Kakashi's voice held.

But he was right. He had to concentrate on the job at hand, not hang back and worry about what crazy moment Ritsuka was going to have next.

"I'm good." She hiccoughed as she collected herself, her eyes closing as she concentrated on slowing her heart and mind, and her nails scratching at her arm subconsciously. Kakashi took her hand in his, effectively stopping further self damage as well as giving her some support as he began to lead her towards the forming group.

"I know you are." Kakashi kissed her forehead through his mask just before they entered the clearing. He swallowed back his own fear and panic, feeling completely at a loss. If he could do this without her, he would have...

...

The group covered a lot of distance through the night, with no sightings of any of the Aranii. Ritsuka had carried her bag of course, though she was exhausted with trying to keep up with everyone. They had taken to jumping through trees, a form of transport Ritsuka used to love, but now hated. She was so unused to controlling her chakra so much that she was ready to collapse within the first few hours. But she pushed on, desperate to prove to Kakashi that she was not the dead weight he had been anticipating.

"You feeling alright?" Kakashi walked back from the huge fire he had made in their camp for the day, his eyes shining in the red and orange glow it gave off. Ritsuka nodded, worried that if she spoke, she would give away her current tired state. "I don't know why you feel you have to lie to me, but I would prefer it if you didn't." Ritsuka looked at the ground. "How am I meant to monitor your health if you won't tell me know when you're tired or in pain? I saw how you were stumbling near the end there, and how you immediately sat down. Your smile can fool others, but I know you." Kakashi smiled, but Ritsuka could feel how serious he was being. "Please, Ritsuka. It's hard enough trying to protect someone as stubborn as you. Don't make it harder by keeping things from me." Ritsuka looked into his eyes, her gaze stern.

"I feel like shit. My legs are burning and my lungs hurt. My body is screaming for in agony all over in fact. And my throat is still fucked from whatever Sakura did, and I don't know if I can get up from this stump. Not only do I feel physically broken, but I can't control my emotions. I have cried four times today. Four! I have spouts of paranoia, and think everyone is blaming me for all this shit, that they know I made those kids- " Ritsuka, slapped a hand over her mouth, silencing herself. Kakashi watched as she calmed down, her eyes red from tears. He had noticed her crying through the day, but knew that mentioning it would only spur on more. He had to wait until they were alone, so as to protect her pride and feelings. She would have been devastated to know that everyone had seen her break down again, and would probably try to prove herself to the others again, effectively destroying herself. God she was unstable these days...

"Don't hold back like that. You need to get this out, and I want to know what it is you think and feel. Otherwise, I won't be able to understand what's going on with you, and I definitely won't be able to help you." Ritsuka nodded, wiping her tears away with her soggy sleeve.

"I think I'm insane." Her quiet words held more pain than he had heard from her in a while, and the cold truth behind them hung in the air. She looked like a child then, her curled up figure and vulnerable eyes. His heart broke as he saw the raw pain she felt, her nervous twitches and ticks increasing as she jerked her head behind her, as if checking for someone coming.

"You've always been insane." Ritsuka looked up at Kakashi, her eyes portraying her pained confusion. "You're an absolute nutter. For years I was a total dick to you, but you followed me around being the best friend I could have ever had. Maybe a better word would be masochist. Your whole life you have been staying in situations where you get hurt beyond anything imaginable, and you do it alone, because for some fucked up reason you think you deserve it. Then if you're not being hurt enough, you go out looking for more, taking on more dangerous missions, trying to change the world knowing that it's impossible. It's like you enjoy pain, you enjoy struggling." Ritsuka stared at Kakashi. They had had many of these discussions in the past, Kakashi getting frustrated when she ran off and did what he would see as stupid things for no reason. But he had worked it out not long after they had finally gotten together, his quick brain deciphering her like she had been a puzzle. She didn't really understand her self destructive nature herself, but Kakashi had some good ideas from where it stemmed.

Her whole life was pain.

From her family since the day she was born to the fucked up nature of her and Kakashi's friendship as kids, from the countless deaths of her close friends to the beating herself up about things she did, but could not control.

Ritsuka scratched subconsciously at her arms again, Kakashi harsh words hurting her.

But he was right.

He was always right.

Kakashi rubbed the back of his neck as he watched Ritsuka disappear again, her thoughts and feelings locked up in that tight vault of hers.

"I... I'm sorry. After all this time you would have thought I would have some tact." Ritsuka smiled at Kakashi's apology, nodding in agreement. It had been six years since they had been interacting with each other, so she could let this one slip. "I know this is hard for you, and I shouldn't have said all that, because this is different. The last six years have been more then difficult, and like I've said, I'm surprised you're still sane enough to function. I just want you to talk to me. I want to know why you do things like this." He gestured to Ritsuka's arms and she pulled away, her guilty eyes looking away from his. "I want to help you, I want to be there for you, but you won't let me. I'm not Kyoya." Ritsuka sucked in a deep breath as her tears returned, her frustrated groan indicating her annoyance with them.

"Kakashi?" Yamato stood at the other side of the fire, his expression apologetic. "The others are returning with food and more fire wood, and I have finished our place to sleep." Kakashi nodded, and thanked his friend for the heads up. "You should go inside and talk." Ritsuka buried her face in her jumper, trying to hide her shame. Had he heard everything?

"I think we will." Kakashi thanked Yamato again as he picked Ritsuka up. She didn't struggle this time.

"There is a separate room at the back. I figured you might need some alone time?" Kakashi smiled as he pushed his back against the door of the great house, Ritsuka hiding herself in his clothing as best she could.

"You are a good friend Yamato." Yamato almost wept at the comment. Not only did he say he was his friend, but that he was a good one!

"I-I-I... Thank you!" Yamato closed the door behind them and Kakashi walked to the back of the building, where, indeed, there was a room sectioned off.

Kakashi placed Ritsuka down on the wooden floor, her weak legs falling to the side as she held herself in a sitting position with shaky arms. She cursed as she felt her body vibrate as her emotions grew more unorganised, her headaches returning with a vengeance. Kakashi watched as she stared at the floor, her tears falling on the wood with a soft patting noise. He helped her remove her bag before he set up her bed with blankets and a sleeping bag that he had packed for her.

"I'm sorry." Ritsuka, even though she was crying, kept her voice steady and controlled. "I don't know... I can't... make it stop. I can't help how I feel, but I don't even know what it is I'm... feeling..." Kakashi's heart ached as he emptied his pack as well, laying out all the stuff they would need for the night. Yamato would keep them food, he was sure of it.

"Please. Stop apologising." Kakashi lifted Ritsuka and placed her on her blankets, her body relaxing as she lay down. Kakashi lay next to her, his gaze never leaving her. He was so worried it was beginning to make him feel sick.

"Hatake?" Kakashi sat up so that he was leaning over the girl, his eyes locking with hers. "I..." She could feel heat rising in her as he felt Kakashi's intense gaze mesmerise her. "I..." He waited patiently as she struggled for words. He grew puzzled when she smiled at him, her fingers playing in his hair as she spoke. "Maybe I'm just sexually frustrated." Kakashi was a little surprised by the sudden change in mood, but only a little bit annoyed about it. He wasn't going to lie. He too had been frustrated for a long time now.

"Ritsuka." He held her hand in his, stopping the amazing sparks that she was causing to run down his back. She rolled her eyes as she huffed.

"Look it just happens in seconds, and leaves again in seconds. I can't explain it, but I feel better now." Kakashi was unconvinced. "I just, I feel like I am holding everyone back. Like I am weak, and I am. And I know that. I just... don't want to be. And yeah I'm gona get upset 'cause I'm insane. And maybe I do chase sadness and revel in it."

"That's not what I said and you know- " Ritsuka put her hand over his mouth.

"Recently, it's been like I'm bipolar. I'll be so happy and then I get real upset about stuff so randomly, then none of it matters anymore, and I'm happy again. And right now, I feel like I can cope, and nothing matters to me except you. So fucking kiss me so I can seduce you, and get you into the mood for some awesome sexy time." Kakashi felt his cheeks heat up at the incredibly hot way that the girl beneath him was ordering him around. He tried to argue, but Ritsuka flicked her wrist, her hand escaping his, and pulled down his mask in the blink of an eye. He had always admired how she managed to do these things when she wanted sex.

"Only if you promise to tell me what's going on. Keep me in the loop. I want to trust that you will talk to me when it matters." Ritsuka nodded.

"I promise to try." Kakashi rolled his eyes.

"I suppose that's the best I'll get." He lowered himself then so that their noses touched. "And, just so you know, you have already seduced me." Ritsuka beamed as she felt her stomach tickle with butterflies.

"Excellent!" Ritsuka tilted her head so that their lips touched, Kakashi pressing his body against hers lightly. The delicious friction that followed was over whelming as Kakashi felt himself already losing control. They had had sex millions of times at least over the years they were together, but for some reason, this felt like the first time all over again. The raw need washing over them as their kissing increased in sloppiness, their bodies aching. "Fucking hell!" Ritsuka gasped as Kakashi pulled back to reposition himself between Ritsuka's legs, his body lying on top of her where he created sweet, sweet friction.

"It has been too long." Kakashi muttered as he got back to work, his lips connecting with Ritsuka hard and fast. Ritsuka kept up with the speed, though there was no way she was going to claim dominance, and she loved it. Her fingers pulled at his clothing, signalling that she was done waiting, and Kakashi complied by lifting his body off hers, Ritsuka's fingers making quick work of the many zips and buttons that kept his flak jacket on. She then yanked his jumper off, laughing as Kakashi groaned when they had to separate for the split second it took to pull the offending material over his head. He blushed as Ritsuka smiled at him hungrily, her hands holding him up so he couldn't get back to kissing her.

"You have more scars." Kakashi felt something sink in him as he panicked about the mood changing, but was relieved when Ritsuka began tracing her fingers over his pale scars and marks. Kakashi closed his eyes as he let Ritsuka touch and feel him, her soft giggles making him focus on her again. "I missed you." Her soft words washed over him, and he smiled. But enough talk.

Kakashi tugged at Ritsuka's jumper, well his jumper that she was currently wearing, indicating the urgency for it to be removed. Ritsuka blushed as she sat up, Kakashi kneeling back to allow her the arm room to pull off her clothing. She hadn't even pulled it over her head before Kakashi was touching her, Ritsuka breathing in deeply as he brushed his hand down her neck and past her collar bone, stopping just above her left nipple. She felt her lower regions twinge in hunger as he held her jumper over her face like a blindfold and changed position, now sitting behind Ritsuka with his legs either side of her. She felt his intense heat and hard member press lightly on her lower back, but was immediately distracted when icy fingers probed at her left nipple. He used his other hand to help pull the jumper the rest of the way off of her head quickly, his fingers working wonders. She bit her lip hard as he increased the friction, now mirroring his movement with his other hand on her right breast. She tried to hold herself together, to control her apparently urgent need for more, but it had been so long since she had been pleasured by Kakashi. He continued to rub and squeeze her aching nipples, teasing her, bringing her to an almost animal mindset. She needed to be fucked, and fucked now!

Kakashi took his time as he felt Ritsuka's body, clasped her breasts firmly in his cupped hands as he trailed his teeth gently across the exposed skin of her neck and shoulder. He loved how her breath increased in speed, how she would suck in when he applied a little more pressure to his tweaks and nibbles. He loved how her back was now arching slightly, her head almost thrown back. Time to take things to a higher level.

"Let yourself go." Kakashi leaned in until his lips touched the back of her ear. "Throw your head back, pant, moan, scream if you like. Just relax." Ritsuka couldn't believe her ears. She had always thought it quite funny to hear Kakashi talk dirty, but he was so much more... alluring than before. She let her breath come and go quicker, allowed her back to arch further so that her head was now leaning against Kakashi's shoulder. He pressed harder with his finger tips, grabbing and gently pulling on her breasts faster and faster. The speed of her breath too increased, her fingernails digging into the material of the couch on either side of Kakashi's legs. "That's it." Kakashi voice was low, and rumbled sexily in his chest as he spoke.

Ritsuka tried to stifle the moans that were threatening to leave, her body convulsing as if to betray her. She didn't want this to end so soon! Her hips pushed back, causing sweet friction against Kakashi's now aching cock. Ritsuka gasped as she felt Kakashi's grip tighten suddenly on her, her nipples solid. She tried her best to keep from screaming as he pushed harder and harder, the friction beginning to get a bit too much. And as if he had heard her, Kakashi dropped his hands to the hem of her trousers. She calmed herself as her breath returned to normal, trying to gain some sort of control.

"God you are wonderful." Kakashi muttered and started to fumble at Ritsuka's sides, lifting and dropping the other half of the offending garments in the way. He quickly helped to pull her trousers off and tossed them carelessly off to the side somewhere. He leant back and marvelled at the lean muscles of her back as Ritsuka turned to see what he was doing. He had always loved her athletic build, the way everything about her shape and skin was perfect. Even her millions of scars were part of her magnificent art work.

Ritsuka felt her heart race as she sat, almost completely naked, against the brilliant man behind her. She couldn't believe that she finally had him back. Kakashi then placed his frozen fingers further down and over her pants, grazing her sensitive areas lightly. She gasped as he applied much more pressure, rubbing and tapping her, stimulating her mind into oblivion. Her body arched and relaxed with each movement, causing more friction to occur.

Kakashi smiled as he could barely hear her little moans, vowing that he would make her scream at least once tonight. He then released her from his hold, licking his fingers sensually.

"Are you hot my dear?" He did love the dirty talk, especially after Jiraiya's books had given him so many ideas to try out. He blushed every time he said anything, and they had been together a long time before he tried it out, but Ritsuka didn't laugh too much, which he was happy with. "Do you want more?" His deep voice vibrated off of her shoulder. She replied in a heartbeat.

"Yes." Kakashi smiled to himself.

"Do you want me to touch here?" He nipped her nipple roughly, earning a startled gasp from the un-expecting girl.

"Yes!" she panted out, her body shaking from the effort to keep herself together.

"Do you like it here?" He rubbed all four fingers of his right hand back and forth across her searing heat, causing Ritsuka's legs to shoot open.

"Y-yes!" She shuddered, her body fatigued by all this attention.

Kakashi stopped what he was doing suddenly and moved off back to the bedding, careful not to let the now almost limp girl fall over. He knelt on the floor in front of Ritsuka, and slipped his fingers over the hem of her pants, slipping them off. He analysed her perfect shape as he she sat nervously, leaning back on her elbows, remembering every inch of her like the last six years hadn't happened. It was like everything about her had been engineered to be perfect for him, her shape, soft skin, understanding, personality, intelligence... everything.

Ritsuka had been enjoying Kakashi's surprisingly soft hands tracing up and down her legs that she hadn't quite expected to have her sensitive heat touched so suddenly, nor had she expected it to have been with the man's tongue. Pleasure washed over her like freezing water. Her back arched as her head almost touched the floor behind her, her gasp still resonating off all of the walls. She felt Kakashi's wet heat cover hers, his tongue dancing and exciting her with every flick. She tried to still herself as her legs opened wider, giving Kakashi more room to do as he pleased, and god did he take advantage.

Kakashi placed his hands on Ritsuka's hips as he adjusted his sitting position, pulling the girl towards him so that her back was now on the floor and her hips tilted upwards. He placed her thighs on top of his shoulders, tilting her so that he could push his tongue deep inside of her.

Ritsuka's eyes flew open once more as she felt stronger waves flush through her, heat building up rapidly in her lower regions. She felt like she were about to explode. Kakashi crossed his arms over her hips and lower abdomen, effectively trapping her. As time went by, Ritsuka's pants had turned to soft moans, her eyes shut and her arms thrown back to hold herself steady against the now warming floor. She could feel her self control slipping, wanting nothing more than to rip the clothes from the man currently torturing her and fuck him. But she had to wait, had to be patient as pleasure racked through her. She sighed when he finally stopped, her body slumping from the apparent effort she was making to keep herself still.

"You taste just like you used to." Ritsuka blushed as he placed her feet back on the floor, her wet nether regions screaming for attention. She would have to finish herself soon if he was going to keep this teasing up. Kakashi then reached over to his pack as he sat back, his eyes never leaving hers. Ritsuka blushed at her fully naked form, and began to make quick work with unclasping Kakashi's trousers, distracting herself from her embarrassment. He knelt up to she could pull them off, having finally retrieved what he had been searching for. She then tugged at his boxers, pulling them down to meet his trousers around his knees. He kicked them both off and almost groaned in pleasure as Ritsuka's hot mouth closed over his now twitching member. She licked and sucked on him expertly, his eyes closing in concentration as he took in deep breaths. She didn't have much time before Kakashi pushed her off, a soft popping noise echoing in the room. He breathed slowly for a few moments as Ritsuka lay back down again, Kakashi moving to lean over her. He tried to control his needs as he kissed her softly, his arms shaking as he held himself up. God, did his erection ache. He then held the condom he was currently holding in front of Ritsuka's face, and looked up at Ritsuka, his eyes asking her for permission. She nodded as she wiggled slightly, her sly smirk making him lose every ounce of control he had.

Kakashi sheathed himself before pushing in carefully, his shaky breath brushing over Ritsuka's face gently. He then waited as Ritsuka adjusted around him, all the while trying to slow his heart rate. He then began to move inside her, his movements were swift and confident, with a hint of desperation, and Ritsuka was relieved to feel the slight pain she was feeling quickly dissipate.

"Fucking hell." She moaned out as she felt heat building up in the pit of her stomach, her head rolling back and forth on the floor as she felt herself reaching her end quicker than she was hoping. "Ka-Kakashi!" Kakashi groaned as she moaned out his name, his thrusts getting faster and faster as he could also feel himself approaching climax. "I'm gonna-" Kakashi grunted in agreement as he felt himself shiver as he came, his stifled moans dancing with Ritsuka's muffled cries. She convulsed underneath him, her legs tightening around his waist as she saw stars, sighing as she relaxed against the floor. Kakashi fell on top of her as his arms gave out, and the two giggled as they caught their breath again.

"Sorry..." Kakashi muttered, his eyes now locking with Ritsuka's for a long moment. He then sighed as he pulled out of her, groaning as he remembered he would have to clean up. Ritsuka turned over on her side as she closed her eyes, her chest rising and falling as she relaxed for what felt like the first time in years. She felt her lower regions tingle with the dissipating feelings of excitement, but her heart continued to flutter as she heard Kakashi bumble about behind her. "So, you feeling a little less frustrated now?" Kakashi lay behind her as he spoke, his arms circling around her body, providing the warmth and safety that she hoped to keep with her at all times.

"A little, though I think a couple more times will be needed before I really start to feel the effects." She giggled as Kakashi hugged her tightly then, his lips grazing her back and shoulder as he sighed happily.

"Sounds good to me. We should maybe do it a good ten times, just to be sure." Ritsuka laughed out loud then, her elbow nudging at his ribs playfully.

"I'm sure that's exactly what the doctor would order." Kakashi leant up on his elbow as he looked down at Ritsuka, their eyes meeting again.

"I could have a word with Sakura..." Kakashi's playful glint could only mean deep embarrassment for herself and poor Sakura.

"That's okay. I'll believe you." She turned so that she was on her back again, Kakashi adjusting himself so that they continued to fit together so perfectly. "So is that ten this week? Or month?" She giggled as Kakashi pretended to think.

"Tonight" Ritsuka opened her eyes widely, pretending to be surprised by this news.

"Wow. You think you can handle me? Or do we have to bring in some help." Kakashi scowled at her joke, jealousy clearly evident.

"No. I will suffice." Ritsuka playfully pouted a little before pulling Kakashi down so that their lips almost touched.

"Awesome!" Ritsuka kissed him hard as she lifted her head a little to reach him, but Kakashi quickly took control and was pressing down on her, the legs and arms interweaving like a brilliant tapestry. After a few moments of heated kissing, Kakashi pulled back from Ritsuka, his eyebrows knitted in concentration and worry.

"When we reach these hideouts," Ritsuka almost sighed as she had been enjoying her time of forgetfulness. "I want you to promise me that you will do exactly as I instruct." He waited for Ritsuka to agree, his eyes begging her to understand. Ritsuka nodded her head, but her expression told him that she was going to be defiant the whole way. Kakashi put his forehead against her cheek, his eyes shutting tight in frustration. "I can't lose you. Not again." Ritsuka felt her heart ache as Kakashi spoke, his barely whispered words holding so much pain that Ritsuka hadn't been sure he of all people could possibly have said it. "Please. When I tell you to go, you have to go. If Kentaro gets you, then... I can't stop you." Ritsuka sat up then, her hands catching Kakashi's face as she stared hard at him.

"You must do what you have to do, and if that means kill me so you can rid the world of that scumbag, then you have to!" Kakashi frowned as he turned away from her, the look of utter depression on his face making Ritsuka falter a little in her sureness.

"Could you?" Ritsuka opened her mouth and closed it again. "Could you kill me?" Ritsuka stared a little longer, the scenario playing out in her head.

No.

Of course she couldn't.

"I didn't think so." Kakashi brushed his hand through his hair, his smile sad as he spoke. "We are supposed to be Konoha shinobi, and look at us. Ready to betray the world for each other." Ritsuka rolled her eyes.

"You're such a drama queen." Kakashi scowled at her, but it held no seriousness. "We are not betraying the world, just... indisposing it for a little while..." Kakashi laughed softly, his eyes a blaze again.

"Just, promise me you will do as I ask, and not fight against me, not make this situation any harder than it needs to be. I can see his techniques and you can't. And he knows how to use you against me. As strong as I seem on the outside, he knows I would do anything for you. So don't make me." Ritsuka nodded again, her eyes tearing up. She was going to have to ask if Sakura could weld her tear ducts shut. "Promise me. Say it." Ritsuka sighed as she flopped back down on the floor, Kakashi almost laughing at her childish ways.

"I promise." Kakashi rolled his eyes.

"You promise what?" Ritsuka scowled at him. "I know you. You have so many loopholes going on in that head of yours right now, like, 'I didn't say I promised to do as you said, just said I promise'." Ritsuka smiled wickedly.

"You know me too well dear." Kakashi scowled at the use of the word 'dear'. He hated pet names. "I promise to do as you say and stay out of trouble to the best of my ability." Kakashi scowled at the 'to best of my ability' bit, a whole new set of loopholes coming to the surface, but it was probably the best he was going to get. After all, she couldn't promise that nothing would go wrong.

"Alright. That'll do." Ritsuka smiled triumphantly as she turned on her side again, and almost yelped as Kakashi picked her up and dumped her on their bedding. "You stay here and don't you bother putting any clothes on or I will be most upset." Ritsuka looked at Kakashi inquisitively as he began to dress himself. "I'm just going to get us some food. Don't move." Ritsuka smirked as she watched Kakashi leave, diving under the covers as she began to worry about someone coming in to check on her. Not that they would, but still... Better safe than sorry!

Tonight was going to be amazing! After all, she still had nine more sexy times to go!

Woo! So a wee bit oh dirty stuff to bring some good old loving into the story XD It has been a long while since we have had any sexytime in this story, and hopefully it won't be the last XD

So hope everyone still liking it, just wanted to show some of Ritsuka's brokeness as well in this chapter, i don't want her seeming to be somekind of super hero, cause she is human and has been fecked up quite badly over the years, poor lass...
