First, I'd like to say you can stop voting now. It's clear you want a lemon. I will try. It'll be pretty vague. Give me a break, I may be going to high school, but I'm still only 13! Second, I know there are some spelling errors and grammar problems, some are intentional. I promise I'll be more careful. And finally, I'd like to thank all my reviewers and I mean all of you! Thank you! I love you! You keep me writing! Fluff will be later!

Notice: I'm back! My computer broke so I had to get it fixed, but it still didn't work, so I'm temporarily using my mom's old computer until it gets fixed, AGAIN. I'm sorry for the lag, but I wrote a few more chappies in my notebook, so don't worry. Be happy!

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or Kakashi, so stuff it.

Ch.8: Pool Mishaps pt.1

The sun was peeking through the window. "Mmmm?"

Sakura was beginning to wake up. She sat up and stretched her arms. She looked at the clock on the wall, '8:45. Time to get ready.'

She checked to see if Kakashi was awake. Another day of vacation and he still has his mask on. She smiled at his sleeping figure. 'He looks so…'

'Hot?'

'No!' She scolded her inner self. 'At peace. Usually he has an air of sadness around him. Even when he should be enjoying himself, he holds back. He thinks people don't notice but we do and it makes me worry sometimes. But, recently, it seems like he's trying to let go and live the rest of his life to the fullest. I'm happy for him.'

'Now you're starting to get it.'

'Get what?'

'That's for me to know and you to find out, and you need to figure this out soon.'

Ending the conversation, she crept out of the bed, grabbed her bikini and went into the shower. When she came out she looked at the clock. '9:10?! Shit, I'm late!' Sakura ran over to her bag to grab her beach towel and went out the door.

A loud click sounded in the room waking Kakashi. He slowly sat up and rubbed his eye. 'I had the weirdest dream. I dreamt Sakura was smiling at me in my sleep…..'

"Could it have been….nah." He looked at the clock. 'Okay, 9:12. What was I supposed to do today? Oh, yeah. The pool.'

"Well, it's not like I haven't been late before." He grabbed his towel and newest volume of Icha Icha on the bed, grabbed his black swim trunks and went into the shower.

'Should I wear the eyepatch and mask? Might as well.'

'Yeah. They'd probably all go into shock if you didn't.' With that being said…er…thought, he grabbed his eyepatch, mask, towel, and book, locked the door, and went towards the pool.

"Hey sensei!"

He looked up from his book to see Naruto and Sakura sitting on the edge of the pool. He waved and put his stuff on the chair next to Sasuke who was tanning himself. Sasuke was wearing blue swim trunks with the Uchiha fan on the bottom left hand corner of his left leg, a pair of sunglasses resting on his nose. Kakashi sat down on one of the chairs set out, picked up the Icha Icha book, and started reading.

Sasuke lowered his shades and looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "You actually brought THAT?!"

"Of course. Why?"

"I just thought it was for the trip here. In case you haven't noticed Kakashi, we're on vacation. And second, women and children wouldn't appreciate you reading that smut in front of them."

"I don't see anyone who would mind so far."

He was right. Nobody was there except for them and a lifeguard who was asleep.

Sasuke snorted. "Hn. That's because they're having a huge sale in the village mall. The place is crawling with fans."

"Past experiences?"

"Hn."

"Ahhhh!" Sakura shrieked. Sasuke and Kakashi looked up worriedly, ready to spring into action when they saw her in the pool.

Sakura came up sputtering in the water. She was annoyed. "Naruto!" she yelled. The two sighed in relief and relaxed. She slicked back her hair, beads of water rolling off her body. Kakashi was blushing behind his mask, silently praying that he wouldn't have a boner. Sasuke's head was currently full of fantasies of him and Sakura. Their inners were drooling and thanking Kami they got to see her like this, wet and in a black bikini. A scream interrupted their thoughts.

"Okay Sakura. I'm sorry! I'm sorry. Gomen already!"

Sasuke got himself under control. 'Damn hormones.' Kakashi just looked at Naruto with pity who was being held by his ponytail.

"I'm not done with you yet!" Sakura made her way up his ponytail and dunked him in the shallow end of the pool. After he resurfaced, Sakura swam over to the edge of the pool where her teammates were.

"Kakashi, Sasuke, come on! The water's great!"

She started to swim backstroke. Sasuke and Kakashi looked at each other and said "No." before returning to their prior engagements.

"Come on!"

"No. "

"Pleaaaasssseee!"

"No."

"Please? With a cherry on top?"

"No and that's final."

Sakura sighed. 'God, I hate it when they do that. Wait, I got it!'

'You have a plan?'

'Yup.'

"Don't tell me the two of you aren't man enough." she said slyly.

"What? No!"

"Then what are you waiting for?"

"Fine," stated Sasuke.

"We're coming," said Kakashi.

Sakura was ecstatic. 'Yes! Thank Kami for the male ego!' Inner Sakura did a victory pose that looked eerily similar to Lee's.

Sasuke dropped his sunglasses on the table next to him, walked to the pool edge, and hopped in. Kakashi was taking longer. He put down his book, towel, eye patch, and turned away from them to take off his mask. (GASP!) He walked over to the group. They all stood in the water in disbelief and awe. He was confused. "What?"

"Y-y-y-y-you d-d-don't h-have y-y-y-y-your m-mask on!" Naruto screamed. Sasuke's eyes widened and uttered "Holy shit." Sakura just stared.

'Oh. My. God.'

'He sure as hell looks like one.'

'….' Sakura's brain shut down. All she could do was look at him.

Sakura studied the face that eluded her and her teammates for years. His well-defined cheekbones, his strong jaw, and his lips…. 'He really is hotter than Sasuke!'

'Sasuke-who?' her inner said dreamily.

She continued looking at him, now staring. 'He is drop-dead sexy!'

She agreed with her inner. She studied his entire body. 'Muscular, but lean. Some scars too, but doesn't that just prove he's not perfect, but human?'

Kakashi felt Sakura's hot gaze on him and his inner mentally smirked with pride while he smiled. 'She thinks I'm that good-looking?'

He chuckled. "Can I go into the water now?" They nodded simultaneously and cleared an area for him to hop in. He did, only to get splashed by Sakura. Luckily, he wasn't the only one. Naruto and Sasuke got wet too. Sasuke scowled and Naruto was laughing his ass off at him. They agreed silently at that moment, that this is what families do and that they were, more or less, a family.

Kakashi dove underwater, came back up, and slicked his hair back with his hands. Sakura swam over to him and whispered in his ear. "Catch me if you can, Kakashi…." she purred before she swam away.

Kakashi was stunned. 'Did she just-?'

'Flirt with you? Yeah. Go for it, man.'

'No.'

'Yes. She's singing a siren's song just for you. Do it!'

This continued for a while until Sakura dunked him from behind.

'Did she just-?!'

'Yup. It was a nice diversionary tactic too.'

'Fine, I'll play her little game.'

'I have a feeling this is going to end badly.'He resurfaced and saw Sakura swimming towards the deep end, Naruto laughing at him, and Sasuke smirking at him with a what-a-loser look in his eyes.

Kakashi took a deep breath and dove under. Sakura was treading in the deep end. She looked around, then closed her eyes to float lazily in the sun. What she didn't realize was that Kakashi was directly below her, masking his chakra. He swam to a few inches below her, then grabbed her by her stomach and dragged her down. She shrieked in surprise and closed her eyes. Underwater, she reopened them and was face to face with a smiling Kakashi. Then he swam away.

She resurfaced coughing. Pushing chakra to her legs, she swam over to her friends in the shallow end. Naruto was trying not to fall down laughing and drown himself. "You…. you shoulda…hahaha…..seen… your…face!" laughed Naruto. "Priceless!"

Sasuke just smirked further. Inside, he was laughing.

Kakashi swam silently behind her. "Really, Sakura," he whispered, "I expected better from you." His breath tickled her ear and neck while she tinged pink. An idea popped into her. 'So he wants to play games, huh? This will be fun.'

'Oh yeah.'

She swam in front of Kakashi. This made him slightly nervous and began swimming backwards. 'Perfect,' she thought. She backed him into the shaded spot in the pool. Meanwhile, Naruto was looking at them confusedly. "Hey Sasuke."

"Hn?"

"What's Sakura doing?"

"Dunno." he replied laconically.

'And I don't like it.'

"Doesn't it seem….I dunno… weird to you? Like they're flirting or something?" Naruto asked.

"Hn."

'I'm gonna kill that bastard!'

"Answer me, damn you!"

"Hn."

"Argh!"

'What are they doing?'

'Aw, look. Sasuke's jealous again.'

'Am not.'

'Yeah. And that's why you're thinking of dismembering Kakashi 1001 ways.'

'So what?!'

'Nothin. Just sayin.'

'Why am I jealous? It's just Sakura. I mean, sure, I like her. Who wouldn't? She's smart, funny, and beautiful. You'd have to be stupid not to like her. So why does it feel like my heart is ripping?'

Meanwhile, Sakura brought her face dangerously close to Kakashi's. He was desperately trying to find a way out, clinging t the pool wall as to not drown. He was blushing like hell and the fact he didn't have a mask on didn't help at all. He could barely think or breathe. "S-sakura?"

Sakura inwardly smirked at his unsteady heartbeat and voice. 'I wasn't named one of Konoha's sexiest girls for nothing.'

She stared and smiled seductively at him. "Kakashi…." she purred. She quickly noted his breathing had become shallower. She twirled her right index finger in the air, pressing her body against his. All thought capabilities were lost on Kakashi now. She put her finger on his nose. "Tag. You're it."

She pushed off his chest, laughing, and swam swiftly to the stunned Sasuke and in-shock-and-awe Naruto in the shallow end of the pool. "What?" she asked.

They snapped out of it and murmured, "Nothing."

Kakashi was stunned. His brain was scrambling to piece together what had happened in the last five minutes. Unfortunately for him, Sakura's antics caused him to get an erection. When his brain started working, he processed what she did. 'She flirted with me, then tricked me, then tagged me on the nose and said I'm it!' he thought incredulously.

'She wants you.'

'Shut up!'

"Kakashi!"

He saw her waving at him. "Come on, sensei, you're it, member?"

Naruto looked at her. "It?"

"Yeah. You know, tag?!"

"Ohhh.."

"Oh, yeah, hey sensei! I forgot to tell you. No tag-backs!"

"That's fair," Kakashi said sarcastically.

"Just play!" He grunted in response and swam towards her. 'I'll get her…'
