His eyes fluttered as he slowly regained consciousness. The smell of medicine invaded his senses and made him bolt into a sitting position. He'd always hated hospitals. He just couldn't stand staying idle for days at a time and the smell bothered him. As he shifted to get off the bed he came face to face with a sleepy cherry blossom. He frowned at seeing her groan uncomfortably in the chair she was currently occupying.
Gently he lifted Sakura into his arms then reluctantly laid her down on the hospital bed. She sighed contentedly in her sleep. He brought his fingers up to caress her face. Her skin was like silk. They traveled lower then stopped to trace the outline of her lips. They were softly parted and looked inviting.
Slowly he lowered his own lips getting closer and closer until he could feel her breath through his mask. At the sound of footsteps he darted away and out the window looking back one last time. If a nurse caught him he'd probably have Tsunade breathing down his neck if she caught him moving about. Silently he opened the window and jumped down the four stories onto the Konoha streets.
Sakura groaned as she turned in her bed. 'Wait.. bed?' Her eyes snapped open as she looked about wildly. She growled at her charge. "Kakashi…" 'He's going to get it now.' Inner Sakura cracked her knuckles. 'Still.. it was nice of him to put me here.'
Biting her lip worriedly she wondered if her former sensei was ok. The side effects of that special juutsu were unknown to even Tsunade. It seems the Mitari weren't very well known. They had both tried to figure out what exactly was damaged but every time they scanned through his body nothing seemed out of the ordinary. She said it was possible that his inhibitions had just been completely removed. Then the only solution would be for Kakashi to build them up from scratch.
Sighing she stood to go find that idiot teacher of hers. He'd probably be home hopefully still recovering. Problem was she had no idea where his house was. "Let's see…" That night after he had walked her home he kept going down so at least she had a general idea of which direction to go.
"Oy Sakura-chan!" She looked up startled to see Genma waving cheekily at her. 'Genma! If anyone knows where Kakashi lives it's him!' "Genma! You don't know how glad I am to see you." He raised a brow giving her a seductive grin. "Well if you wanted to see me that badly all you needed to do was call and I'd be there." If she hadn't needed him to help her she would've knocked him out cold. But as it was she had to endure it or otherwise it was back to square one.
"Err, yea… I was wondering if you knew where Kakashi lived." He rubbed his chin thoughfully. "Hmm… well I could tell you…but that'd be no fun. So I'll show you instead." Sakura laughed nervously. "No, I couldn't. I mean you're a busy man after all and I'd hate to impose on you…" "I insist. Besides it's a long way and you could get lost. I couldn't live with myself if I let such a beautiful young lady like you get mauled because of me."
Sakura held back the urge to blush. This would sound extremely cheesy if anyone but Genma were saying it. But he wasn't known as a lady charmer for nothing. "Alright then after you." Sakura waited patiently for him to start walking. "Follow me my lady."
After they'd passed her house he began walking towards the moderate apartment complex next to it. "Uh.. Genma-san?" He glanced back at her. "Hmm?" "Are you sure you're going the right way." "Yea. Why?" She looked down. "No reason." He just shrugged and kept moving.
The pink-haired jounin fumed internally. 'He lived right next to me all this time? How did I not notice? Why didn't he ever tell me?' "Stupid, perverted, neglectful.." she kept muttering insults at her teacher as they entered the building. The young man at the desk gave her a strange look as they went up the steps.
"Ah. Here we are. Apartment 101 After you my lady." She glared at him her cheeks getting redder. She seemed to be doing that a lot. "Stop calling my that. I'm not your anything." The brunette just smirked at her and opened the door to Kakashi's apartment.
"Hey wait! Shouldn't we knock or something? It's rude to just walk in you know." "Nah. I do it all the time." Sakura sighed. She was surprised to see that it was clean since he was always so lazy. All he owned were a few pieces of furniture and an oven. It wasn't very homey but it wasn't uninviting either. She guessed all he did here was eat and sleep. There wasn't even a t.v. 'No wonder he reads those perverted books.'
She nearly screamed in surprise when she was suddenly face to chest with Kakashi. She fixed him with a heated glare. "Don't do that!" He gave her an amused look. She didn't even hear him enter the room. "Sorry." "There you are Hatake. I was starting to wonder if you weren't home. Well I was just escorting Sakura-chan here so I'll be going now." Genma started walking out the door and waved backwards. "Later."
The jealous look Kakashi was giving him made him unsettled. It wasn't extreme but it wasn't exactly subtle either. 'What's up with him? He's usually not so open.' Most of the time Genma couldn't tell what his friend was thinking. Back there though it was obvious he wanted him out. "Looks like Hatake's got himself a little crush."
Kakashi kept his gaze on Genma until he shut the door. He didn't like how his hand was on Sakura's waist when they came in.
He was shocked out of his thoughts when a pair of hands started to shake him by the shirt. "Why didn't you tell me you lived so close baka! All this time I thought you lived far away because you're always so late but now I find you've been right next door to me!" Her face was red and she was out of breath from the yelling she did.
He rubbed his chin thoughtfully then looked at her very seriously and gestured for her to get closer. When he was right by her ear he whispered. "It's a secret."
"What kind of answer is that? She yelled.
"Do you have to yell Sakura-chan? My head still hurts.." Guilt immediately flooded her body. 'Stupid!' As a medic-nin it was her first priority to take care of the patient.
"Here lie down." She was startled when his hand grabbed her arm disabling her of getting up and promptly put his head in her lap.
"Uh.. Kakashi?" All she got was a steady rhythm of quiet breathing. When she attempted to get up he shifted so his face was against her stomach, which was also very close to a certain other body part, and wrapped his arms around her torso.
Her face burned crimson as she tried to ignore the feeling of butterflies fluttering like crazy in her stomach. She tried again this time pulling a little harder trying to untangle herself from his firm grip.
'There's no way he's asleep' she thought. 'Fine. Two can play at that game.' Coming up with a plan she waved her fingers in his face to see his reaction. Nothing.
'Figures.' Slowly she brought her fingers up to touch his hair. She'd always imagined it to be soft. Gently she ran her fingers through his silver locks softly playing with strands here and there.
She smiled as he nuzzled his head against her hand. 'So he likes that does he?' Still playing with his hair her left hand went down ghosting a trail down the planes of his face. Almost touching but not quite.
He looked beautiful and relaxed. It was one of the rare moments where she got to see him with his guard down. Before she realized what she was doing her hand had moved down and was actually touching his lips.
'What the hell am I doing'! His lips are so soft and firm. Inner Sakura sighed contently. What do you think you're doing!' she shrieked in her head. Don't look at me, you're doing it too. Argh! I give up.' Arguing with herself wasn't getting her anywhere.
She was abruptly brought out of her thoughts when she felt something wet against her fingertips. He was licking her fingers! Why was he licking her fingers! Not that it didn't feel nice, but that was beside the point. He was giving her what could only be described as a wicked look.
"K-kakashi?" He looked up smirking at her flushed face. Out of sheer embarrassment she quickly jumped up completely forgetting that he was partially on her lap resulting in the top half of his body on the ground. She would've laughed at the scene if she didn't feel like her heart was about to burst out of her chest.
"You're obviously feeling some side effects of that jutsu causing you to be delirious so if you don't mind I'll just be on my way." She was halfway to the door when what she said had finally kicked in. 'Delirious? That's not a good sign. What was I thinking about to leave him alone like that!'
She chanced a glance back at him only to her surprise to see an empty couch. "Where.." Suddenly she felt a pair of well-muscled arms encircle themselves around her waist bringing her right against her former sensei. 'For someone who's supposed to be recovering he sure is stealthy. '
'He must be really out of it.' she thought. Thinking that was the reason for his strange behavior didn't help her calm down. She felt guilty for enjoying his attention to her and figured as soon as he was back to normal things would be the same as before. She ignored the disappointment she felt coiling down her stomach and told herself it was only because she wouldn't be able to spend as much time with him and not because she would miss his touch.
"Umm.. could you sit down? I have to check to see if anything's changed." Slowly he let go and let her lead him to the sofa. Placing both hands on either side of his temple she pumped some chakra into his body and pushed around gently to see if anything was out of place. 'Still nothing, that's strange.' She furrowed her brow in concentration.
Then why is he acting so strange? Then realization hit her like a brick in the face. 'Could he be attracted to me? It would make sense. If I didn't have my inhibitions I'd probably be constantly touching him too. Not inappropriately of course. Ah.. bad!' You know you would.
"Sakura?" She looked up to see a dark eye looking concerned at her. "Is something wrong?" 'What to do, what to do? Y'know he kind of matches with his apartment..' She laughed nervously. "No! Everything's fine, peachy. Now if you'll excuse me I have to go report to Tsunade-sama. Which wasn't a complete lie. She did have to go back but not until tomorrow. However if she didn't get out of here soon she might go crazy.
Helping out an injured friend was completely different from giving into advances of someone who's attracted to you. If she didn't get out now she might end up doing something stupid and then feel incredibly guilty for taking advantage of him while he's down. But he's the one who's making the moves. Why do you always have to say something! You know, talking to yourself is the first sign of insanity. 'What's the second?' Losing an argument with yourself. She sweat dropped. 'I knew there was something wrong with me.'
Before she lost all of her sanity she darted out of the apartment faster than you could say 'Ichigo'(I love strawberries! ) Leaving him to stare after her with longing in his eyes. "You'll be mine soon Sakura. I promise." And Hatake, Kakashi never breaks his promises.
Whew! Finally finished chapter four! I know this chapter didn't really have much of a plot but next chapter I plan on having more emotion coming from both sides and not just all this physical attraction. That will still be there though. Please review. They are vital to my survival! Sayonara minnachan!
