20. A little mission to cool down: The Spring

.

.

DAY3:

.

Sakura turned to her side and yawned full-heartedly before she opened her eyes only to find a chuckling copy-nin lying sideward and facing her. He was only wearing his mask and god-knows what was hidden under these sheets pooling around his hips lowly. His hair looked tousled, but in a too good way for her to not gape at the drop-dead sexy sight in front of her.

He was so close, so dangerously close.

.

"Good morning, Sakura." He followed her traveling gaze, it seemed she couldn't get enough.

"I could look at this all day…" The words bubbled out before she could think.

.

"You bet!" Kakashi chuckled low in amusement and something else she couldn't decipher.

.

Wait! What? Did I say that aloud? Oh my god! OH MY FUCKING GOD!

Shrieking the young kunoichi put the sheets over her head.

.

Sakura felt him getting off from the bed.

"You're lucky, we have another massage seminar today. Come on, let's get some breakfast before we'll have to deal with that woman again." His playful tone changed into his teacher mode.

"No thanks. I'm fine." The ghostlike figure sitting on her bed with the sheets all over mumbled in embarrassment.

.

"Sakura, get out of your bed. Don't be childish! Come on!" Laughing he dragged at her sheets.

Of course he won, he stood in front of her bed with the sheets in one hand, while a certain beet-red pinkette sat on her side of the bed and took a longing look at his half-naked form as he cocked his head to the side with a smirk.

"Nope." She hid her face in her palms and took a few deep breathes. "I don't know what's gotten into me, I'm sorry. Could you please just go ahead?"

.

There was his dangerous low chuckle again, which didn't fail to speed up her already racing heart. "Sakura, look at me!"

"I can't. Not now."

.

The infamous shinobi leaned forward and spoke right into her ear in his dom tone. "I said look at me!"

Her eyes sprang open and saw right into his mismatching ones.

.

"Good. Get out of bed, NOW."

He retreated from her bed and went to the chair next to the window to put on his shirt. During the process he felt her stare on his body.

"You don't want to destroy our work from yesterday evening, right?"

.

He faced her, he tilted his head and belted his pants with a loud snap of the very same black leather belt, she had gotten to know in another occasion.

In his calm, stern teacher manner he continued "Yoko will likely be there."

The silverhead gave her an innocent eye-crinkle like he hadn't been teasing her willingly seconds ago.

.

"Give me a minute."

Irritated she jumped off the bed, gathered a few things and disappeared in the small lavatory.

.

The copy-nin took the moment to calm himself down, he looked out of the window and rubbed his head.

She doesn't know what has gotten into her? As if I have any idea what's happening myself? He chuckled into the distance.

.


.

Although both had not be able to sleep much, they were recovered and refreshed. Their breakfast turned out to be uneventful and quick, because the course started at nine and they had to hurry. Everything seemed to be back to normal, they were just teacher and student.

.

Yoko appeared more distant, she preferred to show the technics on other bodies.

Good! We won! So inner-Sakura was back.

Ehrm, and what did we win? What's the price?

Nevermind.

.

"Today we'll focus on the male body first and then after a short break we'll do the same on the female body. Alright gentlemen, please lie down on your stomachs. Ladies, warm up your hands, get some oil and start to loosen the musculature of your man."

After the first loosening she massaged his backside with pressure technics, then she started at his feet and the backside of his wiry legs, where she found some sore spots assumingly from their crazy travel speed. Next she let her thumbs stroke from the middle to the edge of his thighs until she reached the small towel around his hips. Apparently the piece of white fluffiness didn't stop the lovey-dovies around. Sakura contemplated for a moment as she noticed the suspicious looks of their teacher.

Go for it!

Her innerself was what she needed, brave as she was she smirked and began to knead higher, but before she reached his buttocks she noticed his slight tension and changed the way of her hands to his side to work up to his hips. Then she retreated and continued her ministrations from his lower back up to his neck. Kakashi relaxed completely in her hands, again he gave her barely audible moans of approval occasionally.

If looks could kill.

That's my girl!

Sakura laughed inwardly about Yoko's behaviour.

.

"Great! Now I want you to change into a comfortable supine position, gentlemen! What we'll do there is to…"

The young kunoichi's attention drifted off as the jounin turned around and gave her an encouraging eye-crinkle. She smiled down at him and began to knead his shoulders. Slowly the always on alert copy-nin mismatching closed his eyes and relished her touches.

Her knuckles relaxed his broad chest, as she noticed the big scar crossing his torso, remains of his fight with Obito. Green soothing chakra emanated from her hands and mended the tissue better together and she diminished the scarring. She did the same with every bigger injury of his past. If he would not had been so stubborn he had gotten proper care in hospital and his wounds had healed much better, but whenever somebody said the bad h-word, you saw the copy-nin storming away. At least he had come to her apartment occasionally when he had been injured. She was the only medic he trusted fully.

Her skilled massage continued over his stomach, he was a bit ticklish at the serrator which made the kunoichi giggle and she continued with his anterior abs, before she stroke softly her way from his hip over his sides to his shoulders and massaged his perfectly trained arms. Out of habit he had suppressed the visibility of his ANBU tattoo with his chakra when he was in public, but she knew it was there and retraced the vortex and the line with her index-finger on his skin. He hummed as a response and she continued to let her hands wander down his arms to his hands. Carefully her fingers moved over his and in return his touched hers subtly. Their fingers began to dance passionately with each other.

Yoko came and stood beside them clearly angry about the scene in front of her. "Then back to his neck and dedicate yourselves to your partner's head and face muscles. Let his whole body relax."

Then Sakura's hands caressed his brawny neck and softly massaged his head, which earned her a content groan. Gentle fingers eased the last remaining tension on his forehead. Surprisingly he trusted her enough to touch his mask as she stroke his cheeks tenderly. At some point he opened his eyes again and got lost in her enchanting green ones, both smiling at each other.

Again that disruptive teacher intervened. "I think you're relaxed enough now. Take a moment to come back to earth. Get a drink and move around, then we'll start with the lady programme."

Kakashi closed his eyes and grunted quietly in annoyance and Sakura giggled.

.

"Kakashi, I thought you want something to drink." Yoko stood in front of his table with a bottle of water in her hands.

Still lying on his back in the aftermath of the deep relaxation he opened his heavy eyes and looked up into the smile of his amused companion. Grunting he sat up and put on his bathrobe. "Sakura, do you want something to drink?"

"Yes please."

.

"I'll go get us something." Kakashi disregarded the clingy teacher and came back with two bottles of water, he gave one to Sakura and opened the other for himself.

"Thank you, hun."

The pinkette hoped inwardly she hadn't gone too far with their cover, but the mysterious man he was surprised her again by winking at her before he drank. Yoko walked away dumbfounded.

.

After their small break Sakura lay prone on the massage table, again he helped her to get out of her bathrobe without showing too much.

As she had done before he started at her feet and massaged the backside of her legs, then her thighs. The young woman seemed to get uneasy as his hands ascended gently on her thighs, higher and higher. He noticed the goosebumps on her smooth skin. Careful fingers brushed the underside of her cheeks before he let his thumbs dance wavy circles from the middle of the glutes to her hips, but he dared not to fully touch her butt again. He removed his hands from under her towel to continue on her lower back and follow the muscles beside her delicate spine up to her shoulders. Sakura groaned quietly as he did, she was less tense than the day before and he hummed approvingly.

.

As she had to change into a supine position, the copy-nin helped her to cover her bust and got her an extra towel to position it right on her bosom. Her face tinted pink and she tensed up noticeably.

"Relax, close your eyes." Kakashi whispered as his hands grasped hers and squeezed one time reassuringly, before he tenderly massaged her palms.

As he felt her relaxing a bit, is warm and soothing hands slid gently over her arms to her shoulders. Softly they moved in lazy circles from one shoulder over her cleavage and delicate collar bones to the other, with goosebumps and a slight tremble as a response. He chuckled lowly.

"What?" Sakura whispered sleppily.

He leaned down to whisper in her ear "You're trembling. I like that."

The pink-haired girl held her breath as she felt the heat radiating from his face to her neck. She could smell his wonderful scent. No matter how ambiguous his words were, his near calmed her down into deep relaxation.

Soft though rough fingers descended down her sides, while his head stayed close. They created an enjoyable friction and she let him encircle the side and the underside of her breast tantalizingly, before his hands slowly went down further over her toned belly to her hipbones and came the same way back up. Her breathing sped up and she trembled barely visibly whenever he hit a sensible spot. So responsive, little one.

Kakashi's thumb touched her cheek tenderly, it reminded Sakura of Tatsuo and the copy-nin's caresses during their training. The young kunoichi relished in the feelings he gave her and nearly drifted off into sweet dreams.

.

Yoko witnessed they both got carried away. The other couples did the same.

"Well done, gentlemen! Seems like your ladies are very pleased with your work. So what you've learned in this seminar is something you could include into your foreplay or just to relax a teammate occasionally or something." A clear side blow to Sakura.

"Be creative! If both are really involved bodily and emotional it will be a firework of feelings. Enjoy. Thank you." She continued.

Kill that feisty bitch!

Maybe later.

The pinkette hat to chuckle after the conversation with her inner self. Kakashi raised a questioning brow, but she just shrugged it off.

.


.

It was too late to get lunch at the restaurant, so the two ninja decided to eat a snack at the spa. Afterwards they used the remaining time to relax alone, they would have to leave on the next day after all.

In the evening Kakashi left all his cares behind as he enjoyed the soothing water of the hot spring. It was in a secluded area hewn in rock. It was looking like a small rock grotto and had an opening to the sky, the only access was a tunnel leading from the spa centre to a narrow entry point into the warm water. An insider's tip to relish in silence solely he couldn't remember who had told him about, but it didn't matter as long as he could be alone and breathe.

As he began to drift off with his head and arms on the surrounding rock, suddenly he heard someone enter the water. He sensed her chakra immediately and felt both relieved and disturbed, but also curious. What is she doing here?

A certain kunoichi waded through the waist high water. Without saying a word she joined him in the hot spring and sat down on the opposite side of him with a smile.

.

"Where do you know this place from?" He asked her in a stern voice.

"I just followed your chakra."

.

"Not possible, I suppressed it."

"And so did I."

.

He smirked and was inwardly proud of his student, albeit he knew it wasn't hard to find him, he didn't fully suppress for some reason he couldn't fully understand himself.

They were alone, it was getting late, so no one should disturb them. The sun had set some time ago and the sky showed the first stars.

Sakura stood up, he watched her as she slowly approached. Again he gave her a questioning look.

She worked up all her courage to do what she had planned in the last hours alone and so she came to boldly sit down on his lap. Surprisingly he didn't shake her off or run away, instead he laid one arm loosely around her waist. They looked deeply at each other, the fire between them burning in hot blazing flames. The whole air inside the grotto seemed to be electrified.

His eyes travelled over her amazing body, the dark red bikini especially emphasized her feminine assets. Their hungry eyes met again and without thinking he caged her in his dominant arms, they get nearer and nearer. Sakura's hand semmed to mve on its own and touched his hard chest starting at the huge, but bright scar from Obito. His one hand held her cheek and chin gently, while his other hand dragged at the wrist of the hand, which had begun to caress him just seconds ago, to steady it on her back. As their foreheads touched, he whispered to her in a husky voice while looking deeply in her eyes.

.

"What do you want from me? What's your real intention to come at me?"

.

She had never seen him that appealing before. Loving, caring, sexy, male and leading.

His nose brushed her neck and his breath made her shudder. She was completely at his mercy and felt like an ice cube melting in his powerful hands.

.

Before it could get any further there was another person approaching. Of course it was Yoko.

"Kakashi? Kakashi, are you there?"

.

The copy-nin put his head on her shoulder and sighed loudly mumbling something about a stupid mistake, then he retreated and poofed away with an accusing look.

To hell with that woman! I should've known...

.

Yoko did not look pleased to find only a smirking Sakura there.

"I'm sorry, he's not here" she told the obsessed woman. Not anymore….

.


.

As she came back to their room, Kakashi wasn't there.

Instead an overly happy Pakkun waited for her there and told her that the great copy-nin went for a late night run.

"Seems like he does that quite often." The young kunoichi crawled into the comfy sheets.

"More recently, yes." The cute pug nestled to her feet and they both drifted off to dreamland.

.

After his crazy run Kakashi took a cooling dip in the lake nearby, it calmed his nerves before he set forth to the hotel.

As he came back, the kunoichi and his ninken were already asleep, so he discarded his clothes and lay down on his side of the bed close to her. He wasn't angry at her or himself anymore, otherwise he would sleep on the floor.

Without him noticing Sakura smiled and finally drifted off to sleep. The infamous copy-nin had returned after all.

He had returned to her.
