15. Hardskills: Week 3 - One last Time
.
.
After their delicious meal Sakura went home, while the two jounin wanted to discuss her next task.
.
.
The young kunoichi had agreed to have breakfast with Tsunade on the next morning. The hokage took a day off to spend it with her former apprentice alone.
They met at a nice little restaurant in the middle of Konoha.
.
"Sakura, good morning!" The blonde greeted her with a big smile and offered her a seat at the huge wooden table in front of her
"Good morning Shishou!" Sakura returned her smile. She was impressed with the sat table full of food.
.
"Haruno-san, good to see you again! What do you want to drink?" The waitress asked.
There were many times in the past when they had been here together with Shizune for a happy meal and lots of sake. The waitress had turned out to be a very entertaining and funny person who had joined their bar tours on more than one occasion.
"No need to be formal, Kichi-san! I haven't seen you in a long time. How are you?"
.
"I'm fine, thank you. Yukio and I got married in March, soon there will be three of us."
"Oh, congratulations! I'm happy for you two!" Sakura returned.
.
"Thank you, Sakura-san! What about you and Nar…" Tsunade cleared her throat and gave the redhead a look with a risen brow.
.
Kichi looked down to the floor. "I'm sorry, I have no right to… So, ehrm, what do you two want to drink?
The hokage smirked and ordered an espresso doppio.
Sakura simpered, "A strong latte macchiato, please."
.
The waitress went to get their hot beverages.
"Hopefully you've timed a sparring session afterwards and a visit at the spa. Usually I cannot take a day off so easily, you know. We need to savour it!" the blonde sannin smiled at the pinkette.
"I got fired a few days ago, you know? I have plenty of time!" Sakura chuckled sarcastically and Tsunade began to laugh.
.
Kichi brought them their coffees and left.
They started their wide breakfast.
.
"So how is your training? Does he behave or do I need to castrate him?" The older woman smirked and took a sip of her espresso.
"He does wonders to me!" the pinkette responded happily chewing a morsel of a ripe fig.
.
Tsunade cocked her head and smirked mischievously. "Really?" She crossed her arms over her chest.
Sakura turned beet-red. "NO! I didn't mean… NO!"
Tsunade nodded knowingly and her smirk turned into a broad leer.
"Oh, God, what a bad choice of words!" The young kunoichi hid her face in her palms and both broke into laughter.
.
As she regained composure she finished her sentence "Kakashi-sensei does a good job. Anko-san and Kurenai-san came to his aid and support him to show me the female views of seduction. We had a lot of fun together and it turned out to be an interesting field for a wonder."
"I'm glad you're in good hands." Tsunade winked at her with a smirk before she took a bite of her tasty bread with smoked salmon and caviar.
.
After a few moments of silence besides happy hums of food porn, the chuunin asked "When will I leave?"
"We'll see, Sakura. Look forward to the practise phase. But first I have a little present for you. I'll tell you at the report the day after tomorrow." The hokage smiled reassuringly.
Kichi brought them some orange juice and refilled their breadbasket.
.
Tsunade smeared some camembert onto a slice of brown bread and garnished it with some fresh grapes. "Do you need something for Suna?"
Sakura looked up in thoughts and chewed on her scrambled eggs with zucchini and feta cheese. "Am I allowed to take my medic books and utensils with me?"
.
"Of course, sakura. We have an alliance with Suna. If you want you're allowed to help them to establish a medic school. The sand siblings had requested you to."
"Sure! Great idea!"
.
.
Afterwards they walked their wonderful meal off with a stroll around Konoha, before they went to their favourite sparring spot.
Yamato had been waiting there already. Of course his skills would be needed in the aftermath.
For one sweet last time the two strong kunoichi caused the earth to shake and trees to fall.
.
In the middle of the afternoon the hokage invited her to the new spa in the outskirts, where they could relax without ruffle or excitement.
Tsunade laid her head on the edge of the whirlpool and sighed contently. "When you'll come back you'll be promoted to jounin, whether you'll stay or you'll just here on vacation" Then she looked at her and smirked "Or due to a journey with him. You'll be a jounin soon."
"Great!" Sakura relaxed.
.
As they left the spa the older woman with the trustworthy hazel eyes hugged her. "I'll miss you Sakura, but I wish you the best and I hope you'll find your place in life. Take the chance and find happiness. Promise you'll take care of yourself!"
The pink-haired woman smiled with mixed feelings "I promise."
.
.
It was a beautiful and warm night. Sakura was lying in her bed and looked out of the tilted window. A small breeze brushed her face. She would miss Konoha, that was sure.
The young woman knew she should practise for her test tomorrow, at least for a bit. Certain know-how was needed badly for her practise time. She was afraid, how should she fake something she had never experienced before?
She decided to give the bunny a new try. It wasn't enough, so she remembered how good it felt as Kakashi's hand slowly wandered over her reddened cheeks and… No, I couldn't do this! I'm no whore.
.
I'm sorry to disturb you, but I can't keep quiet any longer. Said the sudden voice in her head.
Great, it's you again. Yep, straight into insanity.
.
You know you should try all possibilities. You know you like it. He proved it!
Shut up!
.
No.
SHUT UP!
.
NO! You know you like it!
NO!
.
The pink-haired kunoichi pinched the bridge of her nose.
Yes, you do.
.
I AM NO WHORE!
Ha, right. But you know you'll be the kazekage's whore soon, right?
.
I won't.
Haha, yeah right. Just keep deceiving yourself. You know the truth. I know the truth. Inner-Sakura laughed devilishly with her arms crossed over her chest.
.
Could you please just leave me alone?
Could you please just start to live and enjoy your life? You could end up happy if you don't watch out, you know. Her inner-self stated sarcastically.
.
Sakura sighed. She hadn't had a conversation with her inner self for so long. It was strange, she felt kind of completed to have her back again now.
Ok. So what do you suggest?
Inner-Sakura eased up. Hm, I think we should give it all a try. We have nothing to lose, right? You won't be alone in Suna. I'm with you and there'll be Kakashi too. He's been saving you for your whole ninja career now. To be honest you like him very much. Trust him and trust me, the situation is safe. Loosen up! You could only win.
.
Maybe you're right.
Of course I am! Also they say you'll like the kazekage and that he's a real eye-candy. Calm down and look forward to it! You're a very strong kunoichi, a soon-to-be jounin! Hey, he had only tried to kill you once, remember?
.
Inner-Sakura chuckled and so did the real one.
I guess you're right.
Good. Now take the damn thing and shake us into oblivion!
.
Real-Sakura pressed her head into her pillow and laughed full-heartedly. She had really been missing their conversations.
"Ok, I'll do my best!" she spoke chuckling.
.
.
After a soothing shower with vanilla scented soap, Sakura made herself comfortable in her sheets.
She began to think of Tatsuo, his charming smell and his alluring blue eyes. She remembered the way he had held her as he kissed her goodnight, her response had been a breath-taking kiss and they had ended on the wall of her house, he had held her in a solid grip full of passion and need. The way he had reacted as she had straddled him on her couch and they had deepened their make-out session.
She imagined how he would have pressed his body on hers as they switched positions on her couch, her hands would have travelled over his magnificent torso, he would have smirked before kissing her senseless and exploring her body further.
In her vision he ripped their clothes apart and entered her in one swift motion, after all the cruel tension they had no time for foreplay. She moaned loudly around the same time with her imaginary self as the bunny vibrator entered her. How had she missed the feeling of being so aroused.
She fancied the elite jounin to thrust both urgent and caring for her own needs, his hand would travel down and start to massage her sensitive pearl above her moist opening. Sakura cried out in pleasure, it felt so good. She began to clench her muscles around him and the bunny spontaneously, she was really close, but it wasn't enough. She imagined him biting her neck as he carefully stuck a finger into her mouth. She licked it eagerly. Tatsuo chuckled lowly and removed it before he gently altered the angle to better reach her sweet spot inside. He bent down and kissed her passionately as his wet digit probed carefully her forbidden door.
Her reaction was the same as back then with Naruto, she startled, whereas Tatsuo answered different from the jinchuuriki. The tall ANBU kept the position, but stopped all his movement only to look her deep in the eye with so much care for her and a burning passion. She couldn't deny him his silent query of consent. Sakura breathed deep and tried to get involved with the new experience, she closed her eyes again and he kissed her lovingly.
As she began to relax, he chuckled lowly and inched along with his ministrations. Sakura felt him watch her every reaction and she knew he wouldn't do anything she didn't like. Soon his whole finger was inside and he moved his hips against hers in stimulating waves. Both were groaning in unison.
As their movements became more needy and rapid he began to curl his digit inside.
The pinkette cried out in excitation, her orgasm building up surprisingly quick.
She was nearly on top of the hill as there was his low chuckle again.
.
No, this was definitely not Tatsuo's chuckle anymore.
.
Imaginary-Sakura opened her eyes and looked into closed eyes of the man eagerly ravishing her mouth with his own.
She noticed one thing:
.
There was a long vertical scar on his left eye that hadn't been there before.
.
His deep erotic groans stroke right to her core as he curled his finger again while he thrust into her simultaneously.
She had to cry out in pure pleasure again as he opened his eyes.
.
There was one dark-grey and a red one with three slowly spinning tomoe. He chuckled predatorily as he bit her lower lip.
.
Sakura shrieked up from her bed, her whole body shaking of the sudden loss of an almost orgasm.
.
In anger she stomped out into the cooling breeze on her balcony and threw the damn bunny vibrator away.
"BASTARD!" She bellowed and hit the wooden balustrade, with a loud crack it broke in two.
"Shit!" Sakura facepalmed and sat down on the bench.
.
Seemingly there was a small line between pleasure and kill mode.
The pinkette chuckled the tension away and rubbed her head, unaware of the Jounin a few rooftops away who did the same.
.
The flying bunny had repelled on the street, before it had hit his head in the process. The ANBU shook his masked head. He was sure, that was the worst thing he had been ever hit with.
Who needs kunai, senbon or shuriken when you can throw sex toys?
He laughed loudly regardless giving away his cover, he couldn't hold it back any longer.
