Here we are. I've turned into a review whore so that's why you're getting another chapter in what feels like in a timely matter to me. This one contains some situations and innuendo that probably aren't fit for the kiddies. So if you'd like, censor yourself accordingly. But since its pretty much impossible to do that …read on!

A Restless Night, Chapter 3
Here again? I spend an hour looking for you and you're here acting like a depressed idiot in front of the monument.
Sakura surveyed the silver haired jounin for a few moments; he lay back on the grass in front of Konoha's monument to fallen nin. He had his hands underneath his head and his eye closed but she knew he was aware of her.
On second thought he didn't look depressed more so than relaxed as he lay in the sun. She watched his hair move with a breeze before making her way over to him. He didn't stir even when she stood beside him blocking the sun from his face.
He shouldn't be allowed to ignore me like this.
So she stepped over his waist and sat down on him. When he didn't tell her to stop she leaned her back against his tented legs and reclined comfortably. Still he didn't say anything. But Sakura didn't feel the need to break the silence so she relaxed down into her stolen physical contact.
She liked doing things like this to Kakashi because she knew he wouldn't do anything about. She could touch him and lean on him as much as she wanted without worry. If she had tried doing any such thing to Sasuke he'd immediately reject her. If she had tried it out on Naruto he'd take it to the next level.
But not Kakashi. I could probably strip naked right now and he'd only ask me what I thought I was doing.
The thought of his emotionless question made her laugh and Kakashi's eye to crack open. She quickly stifled it with a hand to her mouth. Obviously some previous thought was still evident on her face because his eyebrow arched. This only made her laugh more which in turn made Kakashi shift underneath her.
His legs came away from her back to lay flat against the ground. Sakura was in effect straddling his waist for real but she didn't feel like leaving her conquered space quite yet. So she leaned forward until her elbows were resting on his chest.
Shoving her feet against his legs she made him open them a little so her thighs could lie between them. Now lying pressed completely together she wondered what he would do. Her head resting in her hands she could feel the rise of his stomach against hers as he breathed.
He seemed for all the world asleep but she knew different. She dragged herself a little higher rubbing the front of her body against his.
No reaction at all, not even a sound.
Sakura wasn't at all put off that his body didn't seem to react to hers even though she could feel everything and she knew he must be able to as well.
He sighed a little and made her entire body shiver before she could control it.
"What are doing Sakura?" Cool, seemingly emotionless.
"I came to see you of course baka." It wasn't an answer to his question and it wasn't meant to be one. He didn't respond. She waited her whole body tightening, waiting for him to tell her to stop. When he didn't say anything after a few moments she let herself relax back on top of him.
She slid herself up further until she rested her elbows on the ground on either side of his face. Her thighs were pressed to his hips.
Good lord is he controlled. Maybe its years of practice from reading porn in public.
He opened his eye and stared up at her. "Hm?" That one sound from him made her want to do things she really thought she shouldn't have been thinking about.
Instead of doing those things she wanted to do she reached down and uncovered his left eye. It remained closed and perfectly still.
"Can I see it?" A line formed between his brows. "Just for a minute." Slowly he opened his eye and the sharingan stared up at her. She knew what the sharingan could do but she wasn't afraid of Kakashi's sharingan.
"What do you see?" The question surprised her. She'd been off in another memory with someone else who had the sharingan. It hadn't been a particularly happy memory and she wondered if it had show on her face.
She glanced over at the monument and could just make out the name of the boy whose eye was still living.
"You, only you." She covered the sharingan and smiled down at his grey right eye. Then switched hands and covered his grey eye. "Now I can almost see myself." The sharingan seemed to twist and shift, the toma moved slowly.
She could feel her heart speed and she waited for that feeling of being sucked in but nothing happened.
"What can you see?" She asked a little breathless. His eye roved her face and then stared off to the side as it unfocused. She shifted her hips a little and the sharingan swung back to her face.
"I'm meeting Genma and Raidou in a little bit." She blinked and then held his gaze for a few moments. Then she covered both of his eyes. His hands left the back of his head to rest at his sides.
Sakura brought her face close above his. Almost touching the cloth covering his lips with hers; she took in a deep quiet breath. His breath came out, her chest went down a little with his and she took his breath in.
"You should probably go meet them then." With that she sat back up spreading her legs to straddle him quickly before getting to her feet. She turned and left the clearing without looking back.
Kakashi's brow creased again. He looked back and forth, searching the sky above for a bit before getting slowly to his feet.
Sakura let her body dissolve into shuddering as she got away from the clearing. She paused for a moment and mentally slapped herself.
What did I just do! Why do I do these things? Why do I want to do these things?
The last part was easy enough to answer. Ever since she'd stop seeing Sasuke as the only male alive it was easy to focus on Kakashi. Although it meant she'd ignored almost every other male that looked her way. Especially when he was near her.
The shuddering of her body calmed but the half memory of him seemed to linger against the front of her body. The front of her shirt was slowly drawn to her nose. She took a deep breath and got almost as much pleasure from his lingering scent as she had from breathing in his air.
She gave a little groan and headed back into the village.
Sakura stretched back far enough to hear her back crack. She sighed happily and continued on her way out of Konoha's Hospital into the late night. She'd been there for almost 13 hours and all she wanted to do was go home, strip and then crawl between her cool sheets.
"Sakura!" She turned quickly and saw a familiar blonde pony tail flap back and forth as Ino ran to catch up with her.
"Ino, what are you doing out so late?" Sakura asked as they engaged in a friendly hug.
"Late? Its only 9! This is when the fun starts. Why, where are you going, bed?" She was joking but from the look Sakura was giving her she knew her friend had probably gotten to work pretty early. "Aw, poor Sakura. A drink will make you feel better. Let's go." Ino grabbed her by the arm and started dragging her away from the direction her apartment was in.
"Inoooo, please I just want to go home…"
"Nonsense! You want to go home and crawl into bed at 9 o'clock, alone I'm assuming?"
"Shut up." Ino just laughed but Sakura was walking with her now. "We can't even buy ourselves drinks yet."
"Like that's ever been a problem!" It was true though. Especially with Ino there it was never hard to get an older chuunin or jounin to get them harder drinks.
"Who were you going with before you abducted me?" Sakura asked as they rounded a corner and went down a darker street with quite a few shops that didn't seem to have names.
"No one. Why?" Sakura rolled her eyes but also grinned. Ino was always looking for a new flavor of the week.
She pushed aside the door hangings of an unnamed pub and they walked in. It was surprisingly crowded and no few glances left them quickly.
"Oh perfect! ASUMA-SENSEIII!" Ino waved at her surprised looking teacher and they made their way through the closely packed tables over to him. Sakura took a quick survey and noticed it was all male jounins at the table including Kakashi.
"Hi Sensei." She said giving him a quick smile. He only raised his eyebrow. She'd never run into him at bar before.
"Ino, what are you doing here?" Asuma asked looking at both of them while he lit another cigarette.
"We came for the scenery." He gave her a blank look. "We came to get a drink Sensei." She said staring at him intently.
Sakura couldn't believe that Ino thought Asuma would buy them a drink.
"But you can't drink." Asuma said frowning. Sakura nudged Ino in the side because she looked liked she wanted to punch Asuma. Ino glared for a moment before she answered.
"Oh Sensei!" Ino said playfully while giving him a rather hard punch in the arm. Sakura sighed. Ino gave the rest of the men a flirty little wave before grabbing Sakura's hand and heading off. Sakura turned and gave a wave and apologetic smile to Kakashi.
"Oi Asuma, why didn't you invite them to sit down?"
"Stay away from my student Genma." Asmua grunted.
"So what kind do you want tonight?" Ino questioned as they sat down at the bar. Sakura rubbed her eyes tiredly while she thought.
"Anything that's hard and goes down smooth." Sakura said perusing the alcohol behind the bar with her eyes.
"Finally we're on the same page!"
"I meant the booze Ino."
"Oh. Either way we should have some fun." Ino grinned devilishly and Sakura really hoped that they could control each other.
Sakura was on her fourth drink and Ino had pretty much consumed what Sakura thought was her own weight in alcohol. At the moment Sakura was trying to keep her current drink buyer from shoving his hand up her shirt and watch Ino at the same time. Her nin wasn't bad looking with his dark hair and equally dark eyes but Sakura was getting tired of smiling.
Ino was talking to a male nin whose hand was dangerously close to grabbing her ass. He seemed to be hesitating but then Sakura saw it drop the couple of inches towards her. Sakura was putting her glass down and shoving the nin with her out of the way. She watched as Ino's face went completely blank as she turned to stare at the owner of the soon to be missing hand.
Crap! We're going to get kicked out of another bar again!
But Asuma appeared next to Ino and grabbed her raised fist before she could make the offending male nin wish he had never been born. Sakura still made her way over to them but she missed Asuma's words as he leaned his face towards the other male nin. She watched as his face went white and he quickly retreated to the exit with his friend keeping his eyes averted from Asuma and Ino.
"Time to go home Ino." Asuma said easily still holding his student's arm because she looked liked she still wanted to pound something.
"But Senseeeeei…"
"No. We're leaving." And with that he threw her over his shoulder headed towards the door.
"Bye Sakura! We should get together this week for something to eat." Ino said calmly as she waved from Asuma's broad shoulder. Sakura just shook her head and waved to her friend as she disappeared into the night.
Sakura glanced over at Kakashi still sitting with the remaining jounin of their group. His face was in shadow so she couldn't tell what he was looking at. She looked back towards the bar and the nin she left abruptly. Dark eyed nin was watching her and catching her eye made a motion for her to come back. She hesitated and took another glance in Kakashi's direction. He didn't move from his leaning position in the booth.
She was about to turn back to the male nin when a voice called her name.
"Oi Sakura-chan! Come sit with us!" Genma called over to her from next to Kakashi. She gave him a grateful smile before giving the Dark eyed nin a little wave. He shrugged and turned back to his friends near the bar.
She took a seat next to Genma since he was the one who had called her over. Kakashi with Raidou sitting next to him seemed to be the only ones left from earlier in the evening.
"Hi Sakura."
"Evening Raidou-san." He gave her a small smile before she turned to Kakashi. Once again he only raised his eyebrow. She just shook her head and gave up trying to get some sort of emotion from him.
"Here Sakura have this." Genma shoved a drink in front of her and she took it gratefully. "I don't think I've ever seen you at this place before."
"First time here. Ino dragged me. Guess it was a good thing Asuma-san was here, otherwise we would probably get kicked out of another bar." She drank some of what was in the glass and resisted the urge to make a face. It was incredibly strong and didn't even have any ice in it.
"You've been kicked out of a bar?" Genma started laughing and Raidou chuckled too. Kakashi pulled down his mask to his chin and took a drink from his glass before leaning back again. Sakura couldn't help but watch him like a hawk. She'd seen his face before, but never in a well lit area or during the day. She wasn't sure if Sasuke or Naruto had even glimpsed him like she was now.
"Yeah, Ino does this kind of stuff and then we end up punching people." Sakura said simply. She finished off what was in the glass so she wouldn't have to taste it anymore. Genma watched her down the drink with his eyebrows raised.
"What are you doing later this evening?" Genma asked leaning closer to her. Raidou just shook his head as if in disbelief.
"Bed." Was all she could think of to say as she leaned back and stared into Genma's eyes.
"You're going to do your bed?" She watched his senbon bounce up and down as he talked. An incredibly hot blush rushed up her face as she took in his words and she didn't say anything. There was an awful pause but Genma didn't seem to feel it as he looked at her.
"I'm leaving." Kakashi said as he stood dragging his mask back up face.
"Really? Are you going to leave too Sakura?" Genma asked quietly turning back to her.
"Yes!" She said a little too loudly and hastily stood. "Good night Raidou-san. Thanks for the drink Genma." She turned and practically flew to the door.
"I said I'd buy you a drink if you won didn't I!" She didn't answer him as she felt the cool night air hit her burning face.
She was surprised to see that Kakashi was right by her side. She refused to look at his face and started walking. A few minutes passed and Sakura had to stop and lean against the brick face of a building.
"Going to throw up?"
"No!" She said angrily but immediately regretted yelling because it did make her feel ill. A cool hand pressed against her neck and she sighed. His hand stayed there for a few moments before slipping away. Sakura pulled her head back up and she continued her tired way back to her apartment. Kakashi followed at her side close enough that their arms brushed often.
She was surprised when they reached her door. She must have been half asleep as she walked.
"Got your key?"
"I never lock the door." With that said she opened the door and left it open. Kakashi hesitated then stepped in before closing the door behind him.
"It's not a smart idea for a woman to leave her door open. Even a kunoichi." He was taking a look around and his eyes paused at the clothes and medical books that had re-migrated to their wrongful place.
"Kakashi-sensei you always leave your door unlocked." She said turning to look at him. She thought he didn't look nearly drunk enough from all those empty glasses that had sat in front of him. At least not as drunk as she herself felt.
"How do you know I leave my door unlocked?" He said as he leaned against her kitchen table that sat next to the door.
"Because I sneak in there when you're away on missions and read all your porn."
Oh, there I go again…
"No you don't." He said simply, never breaking his gaze with her. A frown creased her face before she could stop it. He was impossible to fluster. It made her want to do something stupid.
She crossed the few feet separating them and stood between his legs looking up at him. He inched back a little. It was a bad idea because that encouraged her.
Now we're getting somewhere.
She leaned her hips against him and lifted her hands to the edge of his mask. The only light on was the one in her kitchen and Kakashi had his back to it. She gently pulled down his mask to his chin and let her hands rest at her sides. She could see the edge of one cheek fairly well but the rest was heavily shadowed.
"Sakura-"
"-what am I doing?" She finished his sentence for him. He didn't move, speak, or even breathe. She leaned into him for support as she brought her face close to his. She waited and finally his breath came out. She quickly took it in.
"I have no idea…" She whispered while her hands ran up his stomach to his chest. His hands came up and stopped her hands progress.
"Then you should stop." Kakashi straightened from his lean and moved Sakura back with his hands on her arms.
The dark masked slipped over his nose as he closed the door behind him, leaving Sakura standing in her kitchen. But she'd felt his body react to her closeness. The quick way his breath had come in and out. His fingers running over the skin of her arms before stopping at her wrists. The way they had then smoothed back up to her arms, almost to her shoulders, as he moved her away.
She shivered as the feeling in her stomach blossomed and became a burning fire. She suddenly knew the sensation of wanting something so bad it hurt.
Sakura stood in her kitchen trying to calm herself before finally giving up and crawling naked into bed to spend a restless night alone.
Just a few things: Drinking is not COOL. Don't do drugs (sips a glass of gin n' tonic), flirting with your 30 year old Sensei in real life would be BAD, and hmmm, I think that's it for this chapter. There, now that I have washed my hands of any guilt, as for the question about there being a lemon, yes, yes there will be.
Your Nushi
