Author Note: I really enjoy reading fanfiction, mostly the trauma, slow burn, lemon, smut, the real dark or heavy writing. (Is that weird?) This is my first fanfiction. I originally wanted to experiment with writing smut but felt weird without a story behind it. I wanted both characters to have genuine and real feelings. You, the reader, may relate or may not. I just wanted to apologize if this chapter felt inconsistent or sporadic.

Also, on a personal note, don't you guys wish Kakashi had someone in Boruto? I sometimes wish it was Sakura because Sasuke treated her like crap throughout the Naruto series. Ugh, but I appreciate Sasuke's character arch and development. Let's just say, I have a lot of conflicting feelings.

But enough of that! Enjoy! I once again do not own Naruto characters.

Sakura was still trying to hold herself together as Kakashi walked her home. She was grateful for him. She watched him from the corner of her eye as he nonchalantly walked, hands in his pockets, gaze down at his book.

It's so comfortable to be around him.

Kakashi could feel Sakura watching him.

Do you understand how incredible you are Sakura? You didn't have any traditional family justu passed down to you. No family to train you at an early age on what it was like to be a ninja. You fought to be who you are today. You deserve to be happy. And I am here. To always help and support you… and … if it's okay with you… love you.

"Well, thanks for walking me home, Kakashi."

Sakura didn't know what else to do. Her mission had been postponed thanks to Kakashi butting in, but that meant she would have to find some other way to distract herself from her thoughts. Maybe more training? … Ugh, why even shower then if I am just going to get sweaty again.

Kakashi closed his book and put his hands in his pockets. "You have dirty laundry don't you? Let me in and I will do it for you."

What? Do my laundry? No way in hell! But all Sakura did was choke on her words.

Next thing she knows, Kakashi has taken her keys, opened the door and gone in. Thank goodness I don't live with my parents anymore. My mom would have punched any other man other than her father, Sakura thought and followed him in.

Sakura was frustrated. She didn't want Kakashi here and she especially didn't want him doing her laundry. How embarrassing is that!

At the same time, she didn't want to be alone.

When Sakura walked into the apartment, she noticed that Kakashi was looking in her fridge.

"Don't have much food I noticed," he said.

"You are being particularly nosy, Kakashi. I would appreciate it if you would stop. In fact, don't you have anything better to do? I don't need you to do my laundry."

Kakashi closed the fridge and turned around. "If I didn't force my way in, you would have not invited me in. You shouldn't be alone. You haven't seemed like yourself, Sakura."

Sakura's breath caught. emI'm not having this discussion. /em"I'm doing what I think is right and the best way to help the village, Kakashi. There is nothing wrong with that."

"Sakura… you're closing yourself off. You're pushing people away. All you do is train and go on missions. Hell, I don't think you have been eating or sleeping."

Sakura clenched her jaw. "Kakashi. It's none of your concern. I am fine.

She went to walk to her room but then found Kakashi standing in front of her in the doorway. He was close enough that she could feel his heat.

"Kakashi. Seriously, back the fuck off. I am not in the mood to be lectured."

"I'm not here to lecture you. I am just concerned for you."

Tears started to well up in Sakura's eyes. No! She wasn't going to cry. She was tired of being viewed as the kunoichi who always cried.

Instead, Sakura brought her hands to Kakashi's chest and pushed. Before much force was put into the push, Sakura felt Kakashi's hands cover her own. Next thing she knew, Kakashi was bringing her in for a hug. One hand remained on her hands and the other wrapped around her waist bring her in close.

This closeness was something Sakura was not expecting. She let him hold her, god, she didn't know for how long. And she was grateful no tears came.

Never had Sakura felt so close to Kakashi. She never realized how she loved having him near.

Sakura brought up her head and met Kakashi's eyes.

"Kiss me, Kakashi."

Kakashi's eyes didn't widen with surprise, more of a 'are you sure' look. So warm. So comforting.

Sakura brought her hand from his chest and slowly, ever so slowly, touched the seam of his mask. She brought the other hand up and with both hands, gently pulled Kakashi's mask down.

She had always wondered why Kakashi had worn a mask and how many people had seen his face. Sakura gazed up at his handsome features and new that his face would forever be imprinted in her memory.

Kakashi brought his head down to barely reach her lips and Sakura closed the distance. She brought her arms up around Kakashi's neck and pulled him close. Kakashi responded with both arms coming around Sakura's waist and pulling her in. They explored each other, both giving and responding.

Sakura couldn't believe that Kakashi Hatake was kissing her. emWhy? Just because I asked? Does he even want this? He's here right? He's concerned./em Her mind blurred with thoughts and questions. But her body was in control and she experimentally brought her tongue to explore Kakashi's mouth. Kakashi responded with bringing a hand from her down to her backside. On instinct, Sakura lift one leg and Kakashi lifted up.

Kakashi held Sakura. Her hands were cupping his face, kissing him deeply. He brought his other hand down and picked Sakura the rest of the way up. With her legs wrapped around him, he brought her over to the bed.

Kakashi broke the kiss, both of them catching their breath. He set Sakura down on her feet.

"Sakura, I—"

Sakura brought her fingers to his lips. Her finger grazed his lips and came to cup his cheek.

"Kakashi. I don't want to think. I just want to feel. I am tired of being viewed as weak. I don't know your feelings towards me, hell, I am confused about my own right now. All I know, is I want you here, so please… stay."

Kakashi felt conflicted. He wanted to be there for her, but he didn't want to feel like he was taking advantage.

"I'll stay, but Sakura, I don't you to do anything that you regret—"

"I—"

Kakashi went on, "You're grown up, yes. I know you can make your own decisions, so, how about a compromise. Take a shower, I'll get some food. I will be here, Sakura. I will always be there for you."

As Sakura showered, she thought about Kakashi. She was grateful that she hadn't argued about the shower. She had just gotten done training. But it also gave her time to think.

Should l follow these feelings? Am I even thinking straight? Will it be awkward between me and Kakashi afterward?

Sakura laughed to herself. The man can read erotic books out in public without being bothered, he will be fine.

… so then… will I be fine?

Sakura rubbed soap up her body and her hands roamed down her breasts to her inner thighs.

Fuck how I will feel. And fuck what others will say.

Kakashi was cooking a simple meal. He had gathered what Sakura had for food and found that he could prepare up a simple dish of fried rice.

"He heard the bathroom door open, and he took the pan off the heat. He turned around and saw Sakura, hair damp, body wrapped in a towel, leaning against her bedroom doorframe.

"Kakashi, I want you. That being said, you don't have to do anything you don't want to," Sakura turned around unhurriedly and dropped the towel, "Just know I haven't been so sure about a decision since the time I decided to become a shinobi."

Kakashi watched Sakura's smooth, curvaceous body walk into the bedroom. She… wants me? His cock was still semi-hard from the make out they had. He had loved holding her, letting her know he was there to protect her, but also knowing that she could protect herself. Her sweet taste still lingered on his lips.

Kakashi walked to the door and saw Sakura kneeling on the bed. His cock twitched. There was silence for a moment. Kakashi walked towards her and breathed, "And know this, Sakura, you will know what love actually means."

Lips crashed together. Arms wrapped around each other. Kakashi hands caressed and explored every inch of Sakura. From her lower back to her hips. He brought one had up to cup her breast. A moan left Sakura's mouth and she began to undo his vest and pants. Kakashi helped by pulling off his shirt after his vest was off.

Kakashi brought the kiss back and started pushing Sakura back on the bed. His naked chest brushed against her small breasts. Sakura nipped at his bottom lip. Kakashi growled, "So that's how you want to play, Sakura?"

Sakura smiled and looked up at him with those alluring green eyes. "I am just following what I have read in Icha Icha"

Kakashi smirked, "Oh, so you think you know everything then?"

Kakashi took Sakura's hips and flipped her so she was on her stomach and put one knee on the outside of her hips and one knee between her legs. He brought his tongue up her spine, bringing a shiver and a groan. Sakura arched her back bringing her head up. Kakashi saw the opening and brought his lips down to nibble her ear and kiss her neck.

"Fuck, Kakashi."

Sakura's hips began to shift, grinding into Kakashi's ever growing member. She felt him hardening and heard a soft growl from his chest. Kakashi brought his hand to Sakura's breast and lightly teased her nipple. Sakura's breathed heavily, grinding more. She reached her hand back and grabbed the base of Kakashi's nape to pull him in for a kiss.

They kissed passionately with tongues intertwining. Sakura pushed up on one side and Kakashi moved so he lay on his side next to her. His hand was still on her breast and the other hand was moving down her sternum.

Kakashi's hand lightly touched her folds.

"So wet," he whispered. His voice was low and husky.

"Kakashi, please," Sakura begged. She was unraveling. Kakashi's touch was sinful, and it ignited every nerve in her body.

"Mm, I like it when you say my name."

Kakashi inserted a finger into her heat and with his thumb lightly teased the bundle of nerves between her legs. Sakura's moans became louder as she felt a tightening in her lower abdomen.

Sakura brought her hand down and found Kakashi's hard shaft. She slowly began stroking it. It was an impressive size, and she loved the sound Kakashi made as she rubbed sensually up and down.

Kakashi added another finger to Sakura's pussy, thrusting in and out at an even pace.

"Nn-ah.. Kakashi, mmm," Sakura's hand began to quicken on his cock.

Kakashi bit down softly on Sakura's neck and then kissed it, "That's right, Sakura, let it out."

Sakura's back arched as she came. Kakashi knew it was a soft orgasm and he couldn't wait to see her cum for him.

Sakura panted as she came down from her high and once she was coherent, she turned over and kissed Kakashi. Her kiss was more intense, wilder… hungry. She pushed Kakashi so he lay on his back.

"You want more, don't you?" Kakashi chuckled.

"You're a fucking tease," said Sakura between kissed. Her pussy grinded against his harden cock. She moved sultrily, first in small circles, then forwards and back, soaking his penis in her juices.

Sakura didn't know where this passion had come from. It felt like everything was on the surface: all the doubt, pain, fear, anger, along with lust, love, desire. She had so much energy and felt only one way to get it all out.

With her forehead on Kakashi's, Sakura asked, "I just want to make sure you are okay with this."

A hand came up and cupped Sakura's face. She brought her head up and saw Kakashi's handsome face and grey eye and sharingon eye looking back at her.

"I have never been so sure about a decision." And then he kissed her. Soft and tender.

Kakashi rolled Sakura over, making sure she felt the sentiment of this kiss. Sakura's legs wrapped around Kakashi and she felt his tip at her entrance. With one swift movement, he was inside her, filling her up.

God, it felt so good. Sakura was tight and her muscles clenched around his cock. Sakura wasn't innocent in any way when it came to sexual things. Being a medical ninja, you educated yourself on all aspects of the body.

Kakashi moved pulling himself out and pushing back in and they found their rhythm. Sakura's walls pulsed and he reveled in her body, how each thrust brought bounced her perking breasts, how she moaned for him, encouraging him to continue.

Sakura was close again. Fuck, only Kakashi could get me to orgasm so quickly.

Kakashi could feel Sakura's walls closing and see her legs begin to stiffen, instead of speeding up, Kakashi sat up, continuing to move in and out, more slowly but still with purpose.

"Not quite yet, beautiful, this next time, I am going to make you come when I want you to."

"Kaka-uh… fuck. I don't want slow, I want you to fuck me hard."

"Mmmmm… patience. You will get that too." Then Kakashi began going from Sakura's ears, neck, breasts, kissing, nipping, and sucking every bit of her.

Sakura loved the way his body moved, how he drove his full shaft into her. He treated every inch of her body as precious gold.

"Kakashi, I swear to god-"

A hand closed around her throat. "So impatient sometimes, aren't you Sakura?"

Sakura gasped and moaned, bringing her hips up more for Kakashi to have easier access. He began to speed up.

Sakura didn't last long, her legs quivered, body arched and her walls clamped down on Kakashi's cock. "Yeeeesssss, fu- Ka-ka… shi."

Kakashi almost lost control watching Sakura pleasure ripple through her. Instead, he pulled out and began to tease Sakura's breasts, circling his tongue around the sensitive nipple and as she writhed beneath him. After Sakura was almost down from her high, Kakashi brought his mouth to her ear.

"We are not quite done yet, Sakura. Remember, you wanted me to 'fuck you hard.'"

Fuck, Kakashi has stamina.

Kakashi kissed Sakura, softly biting her lip. "Turn over."

Sakura obeyed and got on her hands and knees, already feeling her body naturally wanting more. She had never tried this position, because he always felt it was demeaning. However, when she felt Kakashi's arousal at her entrance and how he leaned over to kiss her neck, her mind changed. Not demeaning… naughty, perhaps, yet still arousing and intimate.

Kakashi rubbed his cock through Sakura's dripping folds, stimulating her, knowing that he was driving her crazy. He chuckled, savoring every moment of her pants, moans, and blushes.

With one swift movement Kakashi's cock was sheathed. Sakura's moan was louder than the others.

"Oh god, please, Kakashi," she begged.

Kakashi didn't need to be asked twice. This time, he was merciless, making Sakura drop to her elbows and arch more towards him. Squelch sounds sounded with each plunge, and Kakashi moaned. His climax was coming fast, but he wanted Sakura to have one more before he came.

Kakashi took a hand off Sakura's hip and brought it to her clit, making sure to use soft deliberate pressure. Sakura immediately responded, her moans and begs becoming louder and more inaudible. Her arms stretched out clenching the bed sheets.

"Na-uh….shi- yea- fu- Ka-shi. Jus- lik- that- nn-uh mmm"

Sakura's body rent ridged and her walls pulsed. Her back arched in a perfect "u" and her head flew back, mouth open in a silent scream of bliss.

See Sakura come for him and with no self-control left, Kakashi road to his own climax. Sakura's walls squeezed every last drop from him.

Both Kakashi and Sakura breathed heavily, both taking a moment in silence. Kakashi kissed Sakura on the back.

Sakura turned around, feeling… different. Was "whole" the word? Satisfied? Ugh, she didn't know. All she knew was she was falling for Kakashi. She looked up at Kakashi and brought her hand to his cheek. Looking into his eyes, there was just silence between them. Then Sakura brought her head up and kissed him.

As their lips separated, their foreheads met.

"Thank you, Kakashi. Thank you for always being there for me. Thank you for seeing my potential. Thank you for caring."

Kakashi wrapped his arm around Sakura and laid down next to her, "For you, Sakura, I will always be there."

Sakura felt his words to be true as he held her.

Kakashi breathed deeply and savoring Sakura's scent.

"So, is this going to become a regular thing?" He asked.

Sakura laughed and lightly elbowed him in the stomach, "Just what kind girl do you think I am?"

"Mmmmm," he murmured, "One who is passionate, kind and strong. She is the kind of girl who is determined to make something of herself. To reach her dreams and surpass the talent of the current Hokage. She is the type of girl that faced self-doubt and overcame it. A true sign of strength. Oh… she is also the kind of girl who has a secret and sexy wild side."

Sakura turned over to face Kakashi. "You're unbelievable, Kakashi Hatake."

Kakashi kissed her forehead gently.

"After your mission, you don't have to feel obligated to see me, I know there are some things you want to work out on your own. I am just grateful you were mine tonight."

His. Sakura liked that. However, she did want to become more independent. In the sense that most of her life she made her identity—hair, character, looks, etc. to satisfy someone who never looked her way.

I will do it. Sakura thought. I will liberate myself from the way I used to think and become someone not always needing approval. Become someone I like. It may take a lifetime, but I will do it.

But tonight, I am his. Only his.

Holy cow. For some reason, every time I would try to copy and paste the story, it would add a whole lot of extra things! Like where I italicized or started a new paragraph. I had to go and delete it. So if you see a "/p" or "/em" those are ones I may have missed. If you know how to avoid that in the future, please message me!
