Shizune walked into her apartment with Genma only a few steps behind. She dropped her keys and purse on the table, then turned around to find Genma hanging his vest on a chair.
"So, movie? What do you have in mind?"
Shizune didn't have anything in mind; she hadn't planned this out. She was just operating on instinct, and sticking to the "what would Junko do?" mantra. Remembering that, she said, "There are some videos under the TV. Not sure what; they were here when I moved in. Find something and I'll be right back."
Shizune walked into her room to see just how unprepared she was for this. Surprisingly everything was in order, except for her. She had on her oldest bra. It might have been a favorite, but comfortable was not sexy. She'd considered changing it before they went to dinner, but thought the old comfortable undies would keep her from making impulsive decisions. It seemed that wasn't true, but she didn't have time to worry about that now. Pulling out the new things she got with Kurenai she grabbed a black lace bra and matching boy shorts. Then she grabbed some loose shorts and and a t-shirt. If she was freaking out, she might as well be comfortable while she did it. She changed quickly, made sure all the dirty clothes were in the basket, and made her bed before walking back to the living room where Genma was sitting on her small couch.
"Shizune, where's the video player?"
"Oh, if there wasn't one there, I guess I don't have one. I really mostly just sleep here. I'm not sure if I've ever turned the TV on." She stood there unsure of what she was supposed to do now. Sure, she hadn't planned to watch anything, but at least that would buy some time until she could find the courage to make a move.
Get it together. You're a kunoichi of the Leaf, damn it!
She finally felt her legs moving as she approached the couch. She had some options, but she also had some needs, and if she was being honest with herself, she wanted this for more than just the mission.
She straddled his legs to settle herself over him.
"Shizune, are you sure?" he asked, tucking a senbon into his hip pouch.
She didn't know how to answer, her mind wasn't sure, but her body was. Even though they hadn't touched she could feel the heat of desire building. She pulled his hitai-ate off and ran a hand into is soft hair. Leaning in close, she whispered, "Only if you aren't going to pass out on me again."
Just a breath from her he answered, "Not a chance." Then he closed the distance and kissed her slowly, deliberately. He didn't rush as their lips met each other gently. He felt Shizune's arms wrap behind his head as she pulled herself closer to him, her center pushing against his growing desire. The feeling of her palms across his chest and abs caused him growl against her lips. Her hands continued to explore until they found the hem of his shirt, and tugged it gently. He broke their kiss to allow her to pull it over his head and let it drop to the floor.
Shizune let her fingers explore the exposed skin, tracing scars and muscles alike. She could feel his eyes burning into her skin. She looked up and met his gaze, so full of lust. It was a look that promised to fill all of her darkest desires. Strong hands slid down her side, along the curve of her waist, coming to rest on her ass. She pulled herself away from his mouth leaving a trail of kissed to his ear and whispered, "Bedroom?"
Genma didn't need to be told twice. After grabbing hold of her tight he stood, allowing her to wrap her legs around his waist, and continued leaving small kisses along a sensitive spot she had discovered just below his ear. "If you keep that up, we won't make it to the bedroom," he teased.
She pulled away, giggling. "We can't have that." She let her feet find the floor, took his hand, led him to the bed, and pushed him back.
Genma felt he weight falling backward toward the mattress and grabbed his lover to pull her with him. As they crashed down he pulled her into another kiss as she straddled him. She pulled back to remove her shirt letting him drink in inch by creamy inch of skin that was revealed and left Shizune in an incredibly sexy bra. "You're beautiful," he breathed as his hands glided up her sides to the swell of her breasts.
She leaned forward and captured his lips again, lingering, taking her time, savoring him. Reveling in the feeling of the nimble fingers teasing her breast through the lace of her bra, before leaving a trail of warm, open mouthed kisses down his jaw to his neck. She worked her way down, kissing and licking the planes of his chest as her hands were undoing his belt. She licked her lips and she slid down to pull his belt free—
Tap. Tap. Tap.
"You have got to be fucking kidding me," she snapped.
"Ignore it," he urged.
Tap. Tap. Tap.
"Don't move," she pled as she climbed off him. Grabbing a shirt from the floor to pull over her head she walked to the window. She opened it just as the impatient bird was to start tapping again. Before she could remove the scroll a second bird flew through the window and landed on the bed next to Genma. Unrolling her scroll, Shizune asked, "Cougar too, huh?"
"Nope, Genma."
Less than fifteen minutes later a slightly disheveled Shizune and Genma walked into Tsunade's office where they found Kurenai and Kakashi waiting. Kurenai gave them a knowing look.
If Tsunade was thinking anything, Genma couldn't tell.
Looking up, Tsunade addressed the four jonin assembled before her, "Now that we're all here—"
"About time," Kakashi mumbled.
"Can it, I summoned you two hours before the rest of the team." At the word team everyone straightened up a bit. "Team" meant "mission," and any mission requiring their combined skills was bound to be dangerous.
"The four of you will travel to the Iwa border. There you will meet a four man team led by Aiko. Per our agreement all members of both teams will be jonin level. You will retrieve two prisoners from The Sound, in exchange for this scroll." She tossed the scroll to Kakashi, who caught it and stored it is his vest without looking away from Tsunade. "Shizune will be permitted to check that they are reasonably undamaged and are not carrying traps. You will not read the scroll, or interrogate the prisoners in any way. Just bring them to Ibiki, and don't be seen bringing them into the village. I have been negotiating with the Tsuchikage for weeks, so don't screw it up. But if anything seems off do not give them that scroll. If you are attacked, the security of the prisoners is your first concern. If you can not secure them, eliminate them. I want to know what they know, but I will not have them return to Orochimaru. You will be meeting Aiko at noon on Friday; do not be late for any reason."
Kakashi almost looked hopeful when he asked, "Do we know the identity of the prisoners?"
"We do not, but based on their description, I don't suspect that either is Sasuke."
Kakashi turned to his team, unable to hide the disappointment in his visible eye. "Meet at the gates in thirty minutes." A few hand signs later he was gone, leaving a cloud of smoke behind.
The remaining team members made their way back down to the street. Kurenai ran off to send word to her genin team.
Shizune considered her options. "Thirty minutes, huh. That's not enough time." She smiled slightly and turned just a little pink before asking, "What are the chances Kakashi will be on time?"
"I would say better than average. Did you see how he perked up at 'Sound Village?' I think we are going to have Super Serious Kakashi on this mission."
"I was afraid of that…"
"I'm gonna run home and grab my bag. I'll meet you at your place in twenty minutes." Before Shizune could answer he was bouncing off over the rooftops.
A minute later Genma was removing his own traps as he entered his home in a panic. Twenty minutes wasn't enough time, and he was almost positive this would be the first mission with Kakashi where he was on time. The mission was to gather information on Sasuke and Orochimaru, in short everything Danzo wanted. If he left without telling him, the results could be… He didn't even want to think about what would happen. But if he found a way to report in, it could put the mission in danger, and that would put Shizune in danger. He didn't like the idea of that either.
He threw some camp food into this pack then headed to the bedroom for a couple clean uniforms. He checked his clock: nine more minutes. Not enough time.
Then it occurred to him—Hawk. She had been trailing him since she took his last report. Either on Danzo's orders or for her own curiosity, he wasn't sure. He certainly didn't trust her, but she could get a message to Danzo for him.
He stared at the blank scroll for far longer than time permitted before finally jotting down what he hoped was just enough information to keep Danzo happy, and away from the mission.
Mission Report
Cougar
Leaving village for up to 10 days with a team of 4 Jonin on orders of Hokage. Mission parameters: information swap with Stone. Team leader will be Hatake. Full report upon my return.
It was vague, but he knew he could claim he wrote it that way because he was worried it may be read by someone other than Danzo. He sealed the scroll with has chakra before opening his window to scan the roofline. Locating Hawk's chakra wasn't hard and he was behind her before she knew it.
"How did you know I was here?"
"You've been trailing me on and off the last few days. I need a message delivered to Danzo."
Dark eyes burned behind the mask, "I'm not your secretary. Tell him yourself."
"No time, have to be at the gates in eleven minutes." He let out an exasperated sigh. "Look, you can take it to Danzo, or I can report you refused to take him information when I get back, and that you're tracking me."
"Orders." She was smiling behind the mask now.
"Bullshit." His tone was much more confident than he felt, but he needed to know for sure. "If you were here on orders my tails wouldn't come and go. You would have relief, and you wouldn't be fighting me on delivering this message." He tossed her the scroll and bounded away along the was no time to argue with her about this. He was already late to meet Shizune.
