17. Saltwater

I'm sitting there at our new table in the living room, watching the sun slowly setting down on the snowscape. Tea and scented oils fill the room with winter fragrances. Inwardly I'm contemplating over some choices I've made in life. My boss will send me away in less than a month again. It's some kind of relief, but also it has an aftertaste of unwanted existance like I had so often experienced before. Anyway, no time for melancholy now.

Enjoy the new chapter and let me know what you think.

The fuming pinkette stormed away into the direction of the spa area. Somehow she ended up alone in the hay sauna. Two other women joined her in the small hut outside in the garden of the spa area, which was the hay sauna. It was built from old wood with beautiful engravings on the timber beams, hay cladded the wooden sidewalls of the hut.

Deeply breathing in the scents of the warm humidity Sakura calmed down slowly.

.

"Do you mind if I would talk to my friend? I could really need an advice." The black haired woman asked Sakura. As a rule you don't speak during sauna sessions.

"No problem." The pinkette gave her a small smile and the black haired woman returned it.

"Thank you for your kindness." She then turned to her friend with the short blonde hair.

.

"I don't know what I've done wrong. He won't visit me anymore. Somehow he even ignored me on his last trip to Karagura. I'm so angry." The black haired woman sighed bitterly.

"I know what you mean. His comrade isn't even better." The blonde snorted. "I've seen him last month and he just walked by with a small nod."

.

"I didn't even get a nod! I knew it from the start. For him it was just a one-time-thing, it's my own fault. But it felt like it could be more between us."

"He was an asshole though. All those guys from far away with all their secrets are."

.

After a few moments of silence the blonde stated sarcastically, "It should be criminal to look that good in a uniform."

At that point even the pinkette couldn't hide a smile.

"That's the problem, they knew that!"

.

The women laughed the tension away. "You know what? After every bad experience something good will come. We just need some patience."

"Yeah, destiny has a plan for everyone."

.

Sakura saw a small flash of silver form behind her closed eyes right in that moment the feeling of home and being safe washed over and she felt guilty for her outburst. He was a good man, he was trying his best and it was clearly not his fault that Yoko had shown up.

Memories washed over, how Kakashi had taught her everything from ninja basics to field tactics and the weird training of the arts of sex. No matter what he had always been there to save her, he had even managed to save her from herself. Whenever it had gotten serious he had been there. He had always been her savior, long before he had become her lover.

My destiny. My knight in shiny silver armour.

The pinkette couldn't hide her dreamy smile any longer, so she took her leave and went for a cooling shower.

.

.

Afterwards she went into the open pool area hoping to find him there or that he would find her there. The medic-nin's thoughts still circled over the hurt women and how nice the man on her side treated her instead.

My destiny, my savior.

We need to find him.

I need to talk to him.

We need to apologize.

I fucked up… I'm so sorry.

We love him…

Oh my, where did that come from?!

As she was about to leave to go and search for him he surprised her again as he suddenly joined her in the pool.

It was just the right moment. He seemed confident as ever, but a little hesitant to test the waters. The pinkette embraced him urgently and pressed her face onto the hard, but also very smooth planes of his chest.

.

"I'm sorry. I know it wasn't your fault", she muttered, "Please don't go."

He wrapped his arms around her, "I won't. I promise."

.

Emerald found light blue eyes and their lips felt drawn together into a brief kiss.

One brief kiss wasn't enough to ease the tension of their squarreling, they got carried away soon and the muffled voices around them reminded them that they had an audience.

With a naughty smirk he whispered softly into her ear, "Come."

He took her hand and let her out of the water, then over a small pathway through the spa area. Their destination was a hidden salt water pool in a remote distance to the high frequented pool.

.

.

The saltwater had a warm and soothing temperature, the pool was seamed by a brick wall made from salt stones with concealed lighting inbuilt. There was even relaxing music played from hidden speakers. Here they would be alone.

Sakura mirrored his smirk as she figured out what he had planned.

Kakashi in disguise began to slowly massage her tense shoulders and nibbled softly on her delicate neck. He caught her lips in a passionate kiss and pressed her warm body flat against his. The pinkette felt the prominent evidence of how much he longed for her. Her hands closed around it and began to caress him teasingly.

He groaned silently and nibbled on her lower lip, eliciting just the right amount of pain and desire. The great copy-nin in disguise returned her ministrations and surprised her as he suddenly pulled her so close into his lap that their bodies all too naturally connected. Deep kisses were shared as hips began to gyrate in a sweet rhythm, both titillating and satisfying. The water foamed up with every thrust and its rush drowned their faint moans.

They both came in pure white bliss.
