Haruno Sakura was desperate for some extra money.
Having two jobs on top of trying to finish her studies to become a doctor was exhausting. Not only on her mental state, but on her funds as well. She had saved up quite a bit over the years she spent taking odd jobs here and there, already having struggled to make ends meet after she moved into her own bachelors flat after high school. Having taken a three year gap before enrolling into university to start on her studies to become a doctor.
Her savings were pushed directly into university fees. She refused to accept any financial help from her mother, determined to find her own feet as she walked into adulthood. She was ashamed to say, at age 23, she regretted not taking her mother up on that offer.
Long pink hair cascaded over petite shoulders as she bent down to add multiple cups of instant ramen to her grocery cart. To say she was thoroughly disgusted with noodles by now would be an understatement. But her grocery budget hardly allowed for anything else.
If Tsunade had been privy to Sakura's diet, she would have threatened her pink haired daughter with her fists of doom unless she immediately moved back home to be properly fed and cared for.
Her mother being a world renowned surgeon, Sakura took after her and had some pretty big shoes to fill if she ever dreamed of gaining the same status as Tsunade. She had been a straight A student almost all her life, determined to reach her goals of becoming as good a doctor as her mother, if not better.
The pink haired woman quickened her steps to the check out to quickly pay for her weeks worth of ramen meals as she checked her watch. It was almost time for her shift to start at the bar located a few blocks from her apartment.
The pay was shitty, but it covered her food bills.
She was payed every night for the number of hours she worked, having the extra perk of taking home a decent size of tips from her customers. The skin tight black tank top with equally tight and skimpy black shorts contributed to said tips if her customers were generous, and nothing loosened up a wallet more than a bit of skin showing to intoxicated eyes. Her chest wasn't nearly as big as her mother's, but she filled out a c-cup bra easily with some cleavage to boast. What she lacked in rack, she more than made up for in a tight ass and exotic facial features.
Having already been dressed for work, Sakura gave a distracted smile to the cashier as she paid for her groceries, hurrying down the street to quickly drop off the brown paper bag before checking to see if her makeup was still in place and switching out her pumps for black strappy heels before rushing out her front door and walking in a fast pace to work. Straight, waist length pink hair flutter slightly behind her in her brisk pace.
With all her time being taken up by not just her studies, but her jobs as well, she could hardly squeeze in some time for some much needed male company. Her job at the bar every night had introduced her to some of the finest male specimens, be they in her age group or sometimes older. She had taken up a few offers she had received from men for a quick roll around beneath the sheets, but only for the sole purpose of releasing some of that pent up stress levels that came with her current life choices. And almost never having a free weekend, either studying for a test or working at the local tea shop as a waitress, she definitely did not want to complicate her life further with a boyfriend demanding what little free time she had to herself.
Sure she was lonely, but she knew, once she finished with her education she would have to start her residency at Konoha Hospital, which would take up another 5 years of almost all of her time.
Except for the occasional one night stand, she rather enjoyed her single life. No one to report her whereabouts to, not having to deal with jealousy, etc. It was easier that way. Besides, she had options. That was more than enough for the pink haired med student.
The last few weeks were the most stressful thus far. She was busy pouring most of her time into studying for one of the biggest tests she would have to write in two months time, and if she failed her exam, she could kiss her residency good-bye. Having put in too much effort, sweat, blood and tears to fail, Sakura had refrained from any distractions.
That being said, with all the information she forced into her mind and her working schedule clashing with some much needed sleep, Sakura longed for a warm body to help her relieve some of her stress.
Her quick showers provided some relief if she felt she had an extra few minutes to quickly bring herself to completion, but it just wasn't the same as having a hot blooded man bring her over the edge.
Sakura sighed heavily as she reached her destination, The Rusted Kunai.
The bar was already half way packed, the air smelling of alcohol and smoke. The music that was playing would increase in volume as the night continued, leaving Sakura almost feeling deaf when her shift ended in the early hours of the following morning, her heart still feeling the vibrations of the beat long after she went to bed.
Taking her position behind the bar, Sakura glanced at the time on her wrist watch again; she was 15 minutes early.
"Sakura-chan! You're early today!"
The pink haired med student gave her fellow bartender a quick hug, giggling when he picked her up off her feet. "Hey, Naruto."
The blonde haired, whisker faced man grinned down at her as he placed her back on her feet before turning to get her a beer from the row of fridges behind him. One of the biggest perks she got from tending the bar was she got to drink some of the booze, for free. She definitely wasn't going to turn that down.
She accepted the beer gratefully, twisting the cap off the chilled bottle before taking a long swig of its bitter contents. Sighing in appreciation, she glanced back up at Naruto from the seat she had taken on the lone barstool on their side of the bar. He was grinning at her.
"Long day?" he questioned loud enough to be heard over the music as he turned his back to her again to continue drying glasses.
Sakura groaned, rubbing at the soreness in her neck, "you have no idea."
Naruto chuckled at her, giving her a quick glance over his shoulder before continuing with his task, "you study too hard, Sakura-chan. I'm sure you'll do great on your exams. You always do."
"Thanks, Naruto. I just need some decent sleep, 2 hours just don't cut it for me anymore."
The blonde shook his head at his colleague turned friend. If there was one thing the beautiful med student needed, it was a night off with lots of fun. He quickly poured some shots of tequila for a patron sitting at the bar, moving to add it to their tab on the small touch-screen computer before checking the time on the clock on the far wall in the back of the bar. It was time for him to cash up and for Sakura to take over starting her shift.
"I've been talking to Genma to hire an extra pair of hands behind the bar. He's open to the idea."
Sakura perked up at the prospects of a having a few extra nights off and stared at Naruto whilst taking another sip of her beer, waiting for him to continue.
"God knows you study yourself to death and work even harder on top of that. You could use some more relaxing time."
She snorted, "you know me. If there's time to relax, I'll probably use it to study some more."
"True," the grin the blonde was giving her made her eyes narrow at him.
"If you're thinking about introducing me to one of your friends again, Naruto, don't."
Naruto bit his bottom lip, the grin still gracing his face. "Oh, shut up, Sakura-chan. It's nothing like that. Not this time, anyway."
The whisker cheeked man crossed his arms over his chest as he watched her move behind the bar to pour requested drinks for cash paying customers, patiently waiting for her reaction. Naruto knew his pink haired friend didn't care to get herself tangled up in a relationship anytime soon and he had more than once seen her get cozy with some of the not so regular customers at the bar. He knew what her preferences were and that she enjoyed her single life style. If he didn't think that a steamy night of passion would make their work/friendly relationship a little strained, he would've suggested spending a night with her a long time ago. They were already too close to risk ruining it just for one night of fun. He knew himself, he would get attached where she would not.
"What, then?" she took the few moments of no one ordering a drink to turn to look at Naruto, lifting a questioning brow at him.
"If you give him a chance, I'm pretty damn sure you guys would make great friends," he put an emphasis on the word 'friends', "he's not looking for a relationship either, but he's looking for a partner of sorts."
Sakura tilted her head slightly, her brows furrowing in confusion. Naruto took it as his cue to continue speaking, "Just, hang out with him at least once before you definitely decide whether or not you're interested."
Greeting another patron before going to the line of fridges behind her to retrieve two beers, Sakura didn't have anymore time to stand idly by and chit chat with Naruto as the bar steadily started to increase with people coming in for a night of drinking.
She spared Naruto a quick glance over a shoulder as she accepted more orders, "Fine, I'll meet the guy. But if you're trying to play cupid again..."
Naruto gave her a bright smile at her warning, moving to give her a quick peck on the cheek before he gathered his stuff to go home, "don't worry, Sakura-chan. You won't regret it!"
The pinkette waved him off as he turned to leave.

14:32 Naruto: Yo, Sakura-chan! Genma finally hired someone extra! Good news, you have Friday night off. I took it upon myself to arrange your get together with that guy I told you about. DON'T even think about turning it down! Meet him at the bar at 20h00.
14:36 Sakura: Uhg, fine. I said I'd meet him, so I will. Just, make sure he knows I'm not interested in fancy dinners and shit. I'll be totally fine with just a night out getting drunk off my ass.
15:04 Naruto: 'Kay. He's totally chill with that. Like I said, he's more your style.
15:08 Sakura: I don't have a style, Naruto.
15:09 Naruto: Yes you do.
15:11 Sakura: No, I don't. Now quit texting me, I'm studying.

Sakura's week flew by between classes and work at the bar and before she knew it, it was Friday.
She glanced at the time on her cellphone, noting that she had about 3 hours to get herself ready for her 'date'. Taking a quick shower to clean the day's sweat from her body, she made quick work of shaving her legs and under her arms. Keeping herself usually clean shaved around her womanhood, the slightly darker pink patch of hair had grown back a bit. She opted for shaving most of it away, leaving a thin strip of hair running down the middle.
After washing her hair, she turned off the hot spray of water and only wrapped a towel around herself before stepping out into her room to get dressed there.
She had laid out a wine colored dress on her bed. The material was soft to the touch and slightly stretchy to hug her form snuggly. The hem of the dress stopped just shy from her mid thigh and had a slit running up just below her left hip. Thick straps running over her shoulders, the neck line dipping just low enough to give a hint of cleavage peeking out in a 'v' shape.
It was one of her more daring dresses, but this little meeting Naruto had set up for her was a perfect excuse to let loose and doll up a bit.
Adding darker makeup than she usually would, her eyes had a smoky look to it. Sakura just finished adding a third coat of mascara to her lashes, making them appear voluminous, deciding to leave her lips her natural pink shade, only adding cherry scented lip balm.
She ran her flat iron through her dry, waist hair to make it even straighter than it naturally was before she fluffed it out slightly to let it fall around her face, framing it.
She still had an hour left before she had to meet up with her date, but Sakura figured she could go a little earlier to start the night of with a few tequila shots with Naruto. As far as she knew, he had night shift that evening. If she didn't know any better, she would've thought he had asked Genma to assign the newest bartender the day shift just so he could have an excuse to watch her and make sure she didn't bail on the guy her set her up to meet with.
Grabbing a pair of black heels, the straps running up mid calf in a criss-cross fashion, she pulled on her shoes before leaving her apartment to walk to the club in a slow stroll.

"Cheers!"
Naturo lightly tapped the rim of his double shot glass against Sakura's before they both threw their heads back, swallowing the tequila down in one gulp.
The pink haired med student sat on one of the bar stools in front of Naruto, having just downed her third shot for the evening. Smacking her lips, she exchanged the empty shot glass in her hand for her beer.
"So, shouldn't your guy have been here half an hour ago?"
Naruto sheepishly rubbed at the back of his neck as he grinned at her, "yeah. But he can be a little tardy sometimes. He'll be here, Sak. I swear."
Sakura giggled lightly, waving a hand in front of face, "don't stress it, Naruto. Even if he doesn't show up, I'm still going to enjoy myself."
The blond shot her one of his bright smiles before filling her shot glass up again, mentioning that this one was on him. If there was one thing Sakura was really good at, it was drinking. Her tolerance for alcohol was quite impressive for someone her size.
Taking the shot Naruto gave her, she watched her blond haired friend walk to and fro as he tended to other customers. She wasn't lying when she said that she would enjoy her night off with or without her date. She had been craving a bit of fun for weeks now and she had no qualms about getting drunk all on her own. The Rusted Kunai was almost always packed, and judging by all the appreciative glances sent her way by a few men, she doubted she'd be leaving alone tonight if her date decided he was a no show.
And she welcomed the attention directed at her.
Sakura was just starting to feel the relaxing buzz alcohol induced in her stomach when she saw someone in the corner of her eye sit on the bar stool to her left. She paid the person no mind as she took a sip of her beer, crossing one leg over the other to sit more comfortably.
She watched Naruto walk her way behind the bar again and she was just about to ask him for a shot of Cactus Jack, but he beat her to it.
"Yo, Kakashi! You made it. What's up, man?"
Naruto held out a hand to greet the guy, Kakashi, to her left before he turned his gaze to her, "This is Sakura. She's the med student I told you about."
Sakura turned to face Kakashi in her bar stool, greeting him with a friendly smile, "pleasure to meet you."
It struck her as a little odd that the guy actually wore an attached mask over the lower part of his face. His eyes crinkled in what she assumed was a friendly smile in return, his silver hair falling messily over his left eye.
"The pleasure's all mine. Naruto mentioned that you were quite striking, but I never imagined you were this beautiful. If I had known he had acquainted himself with such a pretty girl, I would've introduced myself sooner."
Sakura raised an eyebrow at him, amusement twinkling in her eye, "you're quite the charmer."
Kakashi chuckled at her her comment, his deep voice easily heard over the music. The pinkette hadn't even noticed Naruto disappear for a moment only to retrieve two beers for them, leaving them to continue tending to other customers. Kakashi glanced at the blond to give a quick nod in thanks before returning his full attention back to Sakura, taking a sip of his beer through his mask.
He had a black long sleeved shirt on with the attached mask, his slacks the same dark shade and black boots. For a moment Sakura imagined he would easily fit into the role of a ninja, he certainly dressed the part.
"Is that even sanitary?"
He arched a brow at her when he took another sip of his beer, "I suppose not, doc. But I hardly care." he shrugged.
The corner of her lip twitched up into a smirk at his seemingly aloof nature, "any reason as to why you wear the mask?"
Kakashi leaned slightly forward in her direction, motioning for her to tilt her head closer as if he was about to tell her a deep secret. Her smirk widened slightly at his antics, but she leaned over to grant him his wish.
"If I tell you, I'll have to kill you."
Sakura snorted, "right. I'll wager that you're hiding a terrible birth defect."
Kakashi gave another shrug, his eyes hinting that he was smirking in much the same way she was.
Sakura giggled before taking a drink of her own beer. She was quite surprised by the man, he seemed attractive enough, with what little she could make out of his face that wasn't covered up. She wondered if he had a ridiculously uneven tan on his face. What he lacked in physical appearance, he made up for in personality.
"Naruto mentioned that you were looking for a partner of sorts, but I'd hate to disappoint. I'm only interested in some heated fun."
Kakashi regarded her for a few seconds, tilting his head slightly to the side, "Is that so? Well," he shifted to sit more comfortably in his seat as he fully turned to face her, "Naruto mentioned correctly. But I have no desires of indulging in any relationships myself."
"What does this 'partnership' consist of?"
"Heated fun."
Sakura gave him a side glance whilst taking another sip of her beer. That, she could work with. She was thankful for her blond haired friend for keeping his word. If she had to have let down another guy he tried to set her up with, she would've sworn off any kind of company until she was well into her fifth year of residency.
"I'm not sure how open you are to that realm, but I have a feeling you might be interested."
"And what, exactly, gives you that idea?"
Kakashi took a moment to take the last sip of his beer before looking her straight in the eye, "Naruto might have mentioned something."
Sakura glanced over at the blond haired bartender, wondering what exactly he had told Kakashi about her.
"I have an offer,"
The pinkette's gaze returned to the man sitting next to her, leaning her cheek against her palm as she propped up an elbow on the bar.
"You're a med student, right?" at her nod, he continued, "quite expensive education. From what I've gathered, you're working two jobs."
Sakura narrowed her eyes at the man in front of her. If he had a point to all of this, she hoped he was nearing it. She felt a little bit uncomfortable that a perfect stranger knew more about what was happening in her life than what she knew of him and it was quite unnerving.
"I'm in need of an assistant."
She blinked at him, "an assistant?"
He nodded his head.
"I hardly see how that remotely includes heated fun."
Kakashi smirked at her again, his eyes suggesting that that was exactly what it included, "If you're thinking your typical office assistant, you're wrong."
Sakura bit her bottom lip, trying to think of any other type of assistant he could possibly mean. When she didn't come up with an answer on her own, she lifted both her brows in Kakashi direction, waiting for him to explain more.
"How comfortable are you in front of cameras?"
Sakura watched his gaze turn a little bit more darker, "comfortable enough, I guess. Is there a reason as to why you're asking? I'm not exactly photogenic, y'know?"
Kakashi chuckled at her, "I beg to differ. You'd make a gorgeous model for magazines."
Her cheeks flushed slightly at the idea of her as a magazine model, but she quickly dismissed the thought as ridiculous. However, she was extremely flattered. The man definitely was charming. He dished out compliments like it was nothing.
"In any case, I'll leave my number with you if you'd be interested to find out what exactly it is you would need to do. There's payment, of course."
"If I knew my date was going to turn into a job interview, I would've stayed home and studied some more."
He chuckled, "easy to anger, I see. However, this is not a job interview. You did ask what the partnership I was looking for included, after all."
"Very well, I'll bite."
"Good."
In the time their conversation took place, they had each had another beer. Kakashi flagged Naruto over to order a few more shots for Sakura and himself. Sakura wondered if he would disclose more information of this offer he had spoken of, but their light conversation traveled to other topics as the evening went by. She had learned that Kakashi enjoyed ready erotic novels quite a lot. He claimed that he was on a self appointed mission to explore and learn as much as he could of human sexual nature. He even admitted that he had been to a few orgys to watch, learn and participate.
Sakura herself had never ventured so far. Even though she had had sex with multiple men before, being a med student, she knew of the dangers of sex, like contracting STD's and whatnot. Always making sure she had appropriate protection before engaging in anything sexual with anyone.
The idea of a threesome was rather exciting for the pink haired woman, but that's as far as she would go. Not that she wasn't open minded. She just had her preferences like everyone else.
They continued to order drinks throughout their stay and Sakura was slowly getting drunker by the hour. If the slightly pink blush barely visible above Kakashi's mask was any indication, so was he.
Sakura giggled at something the silver haired man had said, making him chuckle in return as a small snort escaped her. She was really enjoying the evening. She had to admit, she wasn't as disappointed in her 'date' as she feared she would be, considering Naruto's choice of guys to try and set her up with.
"Dare I ask, Kakashi, because god knows your hair cannot answer my question. How old are you?"
Kakashi gazed at her with amusement in his eyes, "care to take a guess?"
Sakura eyed him thoughtfully, her index finger moving to press against her chin as she regarded him.
"You're thinking too hard," he finally said. "Don't go running for the hills now, but I'm 37."
The pinkette's mouth slightly parted in a small 'oh' before she gave him a sly look, "well, you know what they say about older men."
Kakashi shook his head at the woman, chuckling lightly, "no, I do not. What is it that they say?"
Sakura bit her lower, leaning into the man sitting next to her to purr in his ear, "they're way more experienced in bed,"
Kakashi grunted in reply, tilted his head to brush his cloth covered nose against her neck. Sakura shivered as she felt his breath warming her through his mask. She lightly grazed her teeth against his earlobe, moving to give him a small kiss on his cheek before continuing to speak.
"That they know how to properly pleasure a woman."
Kakashi smoothed a hand through her long, pink hair. Stopping at the base of her neck, he gently pulled on it to to tilt her head slightly backwards as he slanted his masked lips over hers. Leaning into the kiss, she found that she wasn't bothered by the damp material at all, but definitely would've preferred his naked lips against her own.
Kakashi pulled back after a few seconds, resting his forehead against hers before moving his lips next to her ear, his voice a deep murmur, "you're welcome to find out for yourself. Think about my offer, and contact me tomorrow if you're free."
Sakura was slightly disappointed as he handed her a piece of paper with his number on it. He stood then, giving her one more kiss on the lips before turning to exit the bar.
She watched him leave. As soon as the bar doors closed, she glanced down at the paper in her hand. True enough, a few digits were scratched on it and she immediately took out her phone to save his number in her contacts list.
She may not have gotten what she had hoped for tonight, but the dark promise in Kakashi's eyes before he left held a promise of far more satisfying things to come if she took him up on his offer of an assistant position than just one night of sex.
