Sakura was happy once she saw the gate to Konoha, and was even happier, when two of her favorite Jonin gate keepers waved at her. "Hi Izumo, Kotesu, all ready for tonight?" she asked.
"You bet, so how was the mission?" Izumo asked.
"Not bad, and I got the money I needed for that dress I showed you." She said with a smile.
"That's great, so what are you doing to the opening ceremony?" Kotesu asked, remembering how the dress looked on Sakura when she had modeled it for them. They had been passing by the window and she wanted a man's opinion, so they gave her one that really made her turn red.
"The what?"
"You know, all of the new Jonin have to do some kind of special stunt or something like that so what are you joint to do?"
"Awe fuck, I forgot about that." Sakura moaned. "Well I l think of something, right now I have to go get my dress, bye guys." Sakura waved bye before tearing through the village, what could she possibly do that would amaze people? No doubt Naruto would do something like his Rasengan on a clone, but she was just Sakura, she didn't have anything special . . . or did she?
"Can I help you?" the lady at the counter asked.
"Hi I'm Sakura Haruno, I have a dress that was put on hold for me." Sakura said. The lady nodded and walked into the back, bringing a big white box forward. Sakura undid the wrappings and looked inside. It was perfect in every way. "This is it, thank you." She said handing the right amount of money. Now she could go and get a pair of fuck-me heels, and jewelry to match.
(A/N: warning this part of the fan fiction has a song in it, sorry I know I know, I put waayy too many songs in my stories but where do you think I get the ideas? I have to give some credit to the person/thing that inspires me, now this is only one of the songs; there were two songs that actually gave me the idea, the first is in the title, the second is the one you're going to see next.)
Sakura walked over to Tsunade they were in a separate room, where all of Jonin were getting ready. "Sakura you look amazing." Ino said hugging Sakura.
"Thanks Ino, Tsunade samma thank you for that mission I had more than enough to buy the dress, and pay off a couple bills." Sakura said hugging her mentor.
"Glad I could help Sakura, now what are you going to do for your stunt?" Tsunade asked.
"Ha-ha, you'll have to wait." Sakura said with a wink. Tsunade nodded and walked out into the main room so she could announce the new Jonin, and get the opening ceremony out of the way. Ino was first, followed by Hinata, Tenten, Lee, Shino, and then Kiba, and Sakura was last. When Sakura walked out she could hear gasps coming from the crowed, she gave herself a pat on the back for getting the dress. Sakura made a hand sign and then she disappeared into a cloud of cherry blossom petals that danced around the room, and wrapped around people, while she was moving the upper half of her body reappeared, and she danced her way to Tsunade's side, before her whole body reappeared.
Kakashi watched her as she danced around the room in her beauty, he remembered the first time she used that on him, and he had been completely mesmerized, just like he was now. He looked up at Sakura's appearance. She was wearing a stunning evening gown, it was a deep crimson red, and fell to the floor in vivid pools of silk. He could see a long slit up the side that climbed all the way up to her mid thigh or higher. The bodice was snug and fit her perfectly; showing off her stunning well toned Shinobi body, and her Tsunade-like chest. It was the same deep red, but along the bottom there was a belt bade of black lace and along the top where it mixed in with her creamy skin was more. It was spaghetti strapped, and low-cut in the back. Kakashi caught Genma out of the corner of his eye as he stared at the kunoichi, he hated the way Genma looked at her, and he would be damned if he let Genma touch her.
"Enjoy the party everyone." Tsunade said with a smile.
Sakura stepped down and walked into the crowed to find Naruto, that didn't take long. "Sakura-Chan that was amazing! Naruto said hugging Sakura. "Where did you learn to do that?" he asked.
"Just something I picked up." Sakura said with a smile. "How have you been Naruto, it's been too long since we've talked." Sakura said looking at her blond headed teammate.
"Heh, fine Sakura, fine, fine. You worry about me too much." Naruto said with a sheepish grin.
"Well that may be so, but I see a certain Hyuuga Heiress that looks like she would like to dance." Sakura said looking over Naruto's shoulder at Hinata. Naruto turned and smiled before walking over. Sakura watched as he talked to her, her blush, her smile, and then . . . YES away they went to the dance floor.
"That was pretty slick." A voice whispered in her ear. "Are you always a cunning little fox?"
"Genma, it really has been too long, what have you been up to?" Sakura asked turning around to look at the Jonin. It was no secret to her that Genma liked her, but she knew Kakashi was here and as soon as she found him, he would rescue her.
"Nothing, would you care to dance?" Genma asked. Sakura agreed, it was just dancing after all. Genma took her hand and lead her out to the floor where they bean to move in circles, Genma was a fine dancer, but Sakura knew Kakashi was better. "I missed you this week Sakura, Konoha is very dull without you." Genma said. Sakura looked up at him with a smile.
"Of course it is." She said a cocky tone in her voice. She loved playing Genma's games. Sakura felt Genma's hand slide down her back a little too far, that was it, where was Kakashi?
Kakashi was watching Genma dance with the blossom, and as soon as his hand slipped he was on the move walking gracefully through the dancing bodies over to Sakura "Ah, Genma good to see you." Kakashi said. Genma and Sakura halted, and looked up at the sliver haired Jonin. "Mind if I cut in?" Kakashi asked.
Sakura smiled up at Kakashi as he took her hand in his and placed his other on her waist. "What took you so long?" she asked as they began to spin, much more gracefully than Genma had been.
"The hero always comes in at the last moment." Kakashi said with a smirk. "You look beautiful." Kakashi whispered into her ear. Sakura smiled and kissed Kakashi's lips softly before pulling away as they continued to dance.
I've
got a funny feeling
The moment that your lips touched
mine
Something shot right through me
My heart skipped a beat in
time
Kakashi looked down into the jade eyes of the one woman he knew he would always love, and smiled down at her as she looked up at him. He could hear the whispers coming from the people who watched but what did he care he had Sakura, and as they spun out on the dance floor, he realized that, that was all that mattered. And that was all he would ever want for the rest of his life.
There's a different feel about you to Night
It's got me thinkin' lots of crazy things
I
even think I saw a flash of light
It felt like electricity
Ever since he saw Takanamashi touch and kiss Sakura he realized that he didn't want any other man touching her like that but him. He was the only one who would be aloud to touch Sakura at all, she would be his blossom, and no one else, even if she didn't know it.
You
shouldn't kiss me like this
Unless you mean it like that
Cause
I'll just close my eyes
And I won't know where I'm at
We'll get
lost on this dance floor
Spinnin' around
And around
And
around
And around
Sakura looked up into the one visible eye of the man spinning her around on the dance floor. Kakashi was different tonight, and she didn't know why, but while she was on the mission the past week, and Takanamashi would touch her, she would wish that it was Kakashi. Why was she feeling this way towards Kakashi, he was friend nothing more right? That what her mind told her, but her heart told her, that she was falling in love, and she wanted to go with her heart instead of the logic her mind spat at her.
They're
all watchin' us now
They think we're falling in love
They'd
never believe we're just friends
When you kiss me like this
I
think you mean it like that
If you do baby kiss me again
"Naruto-kun look." Hinata said pointing into the middle of the dance floor. It had seemed like everyone but one couple had stopped dancing. Kakashi and Sakura. "I think they're falling in love." Hinata said a smile on her face.
"It's romantic isn't it?" Ino asked.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Tenten asked, as she watched Kakashi place a small kiss on Sakura's lips. "They look like a father and a daughter to me."
"It's the forbidden love Tenten." Neji said. Everyone looked at him. "Well it is, the forbidden love between a teacher and his student, but it's not like that anymore, Sakura is a grown Shinobi, and no one can tell her what to do anymore."
The rookie nine, and Gai's team all watched as they e friends danced and watched as the two fell in love. . .weather they knew it or not, everyone knew that one day Sakura and Kakashi would be a happy husband and wife, and they would be one of the happiest pairs in all of Fire country.
Everybody
swears we make the perfect pair
But dancing is as far as it
goes
Girl you've never moved me quite
The way you moved me
tonight
I just wanted you to know
I just wanted you to know
"They make such a cute couple." Ino said in a dazed voice.
"How so?" Shikamaru asked.
"Simple, Kakashi has been through hell and back because he blames himself for what happened to Obito, and Sakura went through hell when Mr. Ice Cube over here left." Ino said gesturing towards Sasuke who was standing beside Naruto and Hinata. "And they're just so adorable together."
Sasuke watched Sakura and Kakashi, and felt a pain of guilt go through him, and a bit of regret that he hadn't chosen Sakura before someone else did, but he knew that if anyone would take care of Sakura the way she should be. It was Kakashi.
You shouldn't kiss
me like this
Unless you mean it like that
Cause I'll just close
my eyes
And I won't know where I'm at
We'll get lost on this
dance floor
Spinnin' around
And around
And around
And
around
"Kakashi?" Sakura asked as the music began to slow, signaling the end of the song.
"What is it?" Kakashi asked looking down at Sakura, he pushed up his headband so he could look at her better.
Sakura looked up at him and smiled, placing a kiss on his scar just like she had millions of times before but this time seemed different for some reason. "Will you make me a promise?" she asked. Kakashi kissed her forehead and nodded. "Promise that you will never leave me. That you will always be here when I need you." Sakura said resting her head on Kakashi's chest.
They're
all watchin' us now
They think we're falling in love
They'd
never believe we're just friends
When you kiss me like this
I
think you mean it like that
If
you do baby kiss me again
Kiss me again
"I promise." Kakashi whispered as the music faded. Just those two simple words said much more than they should have. They said I love you, I want you, I would die if you left me. Kakashi looked down at Sakura. There was so much that he wanted them to be, but he wasn't sure that she wanted the same thing, and he didn't want her to be unhappy, and he really didn't want to ruin what they already had. So he made a vow to himself as he spun Sakura a final time. If Sakura wanted Kakashi she could have him, but until she said something, things would never change.
The dance lasted well into the night, and Kakashi never left Sakura's side, just like he had promised. At the moment they were talking to the others. "Ok Sakura fess up, what was this big week long mission about?" Ino asked. She had been bugging Sakura about it ever since she got back.
"Nothing Ino, just a replacement mission."
"A replacement mission?" Ino asked. "Sakura you goddamn liar."
"I am not, I was some dudes replacement, while his son was away." Kakashi and Sakura both new it was much more than that, but they weren't saying anything. "Well it's getting late, I'm goanna go, I'll see you guys tomorrow." Sakura said with a wave before turning to walk towards the door. Kakashi followed her. "Kakashi?" Sakura asked.
"Yeah."
"Thank you."
"For what?"
"I know you were there with me while I was on my mission, Tsunade told me about it." Sakura said with a smile. "Thank you for watching over me." she said. Kakashi smiled and nodded.
"Any time Sakura." Kakashi said kissing the top of her head. "Do you want me to walk you home?" Kakashi asked.
"Yeah." Sakura said with a smile nodded. Kakashi nodded and opened the door for Sakura as they walked out into the cool night air. The moon was out, casting a spotlight on them as they walked through the deserted streets of Konoha. Sakura shivered, she really wished she would have brought a jacket.
"Here." Kakashi said taking off his suit jacket. He wrapped it around Sakura's shoulders, and patted it down at the shoulders. "Better?" he asked.
"Yes, thank you." Sakura said with a smile. She looked at Kakashi, and she could see his mussels through his white cotton dress shirt. She knew every mussel, and every scar that made up this wonderful man. The first one she had ever witnesses was back in the Mist village, when Zabuza's sword swiped across his chest, she remember havening to bandage his chest, and clean him up, and she remembered the huge blush that was on her face. Now she fixed Kakashi up on a regular basis.
Sakura remained silent enjoying Kakashi's company before it would be gone, she took one glance at him through her hair and saw that book of his in his hand. "Do you ever leave home without that book?" she asked.
"You know me better than that Sakura." Kakashi said mindlessly turning a page in the book. Sakura rolled her eyes and took the book away from him, reading the page before throwing it back at him.
"Dominique dies at the end." she said uninterested.
"You've read it?" Kakashi asked a bit shocked that such a grounded girl like Sakura would have even considered reading Jiraiya's books.
"I've read all of them; I need something to do when I'm not working." Sakura said with a smile.
"Oh really?" Kakashi asked. They were at Sakura's house, and he was going to put her to the test to see if she really had read them all. He wrapped his arm around Sakura's waist and bent her over backwards, and kissed her neck. "Maria please, I promise I'll never do it again." Kakashi said in a cheese British accent.
"I don't know Mason; this isn't the first time you've pulled this." Sakura said pretending to be uninterested in Kakashi at all.
"Please, I'm begging you."
"I'm sorry Mason, I cant, good bye love." Sakura said pulling her self out of Kakashi's hands and walked to the door.
"Not bad." Kakashi said walking up to the door.
"You didn't believe me? Kakashi I'm hurt." Sakura said in a feigned hurt tone. "Thank you for walking me home." she said unlocking he door. "Do you want to come in?"
"No I need to get home, good night Sakura." Kakashi said kissing her cheek before disappearing into the night.
Sakura smiled and walked inside. Kakashi had her heart racing from their little reenactment earlier. Her breath was gone and her heart was lodged in a very tight part of her throat, beating so hard and so fast that she was afraid it was going to burst through.
