A/N: Hi again! Thanks for sticking around. Ready for a bath? Kakashi is. Enjoy!
-----
Anko put the tray down and went back to the bedroom to find Kakashi sitting on the bed with his feet on the floor. She looked at him seductively. He said, "What? You're not thinking what I think you're thinking. Are you? I mean, it's fine if you're thinking what I hope you're thinking, I think."
"And what if I am?" Anko teased him.
"I knew there was something I liked about you."
"Yeah, me flat on my back probably."
"Or bent over copy machines,"
"Or pinned against a concrete slab,"
"Or hanging from a fire escape."
Anko liked this playful banter. Then she said, "Actually, I was just wondering whether you wanted me to undress you here, or in the bathroom."
Kakashi smiled, "Anko's in the driver's seat. Suddenly I am terrified of you."
"You should be. Where do you want to get naked?"
"I'm not modest, so here would be fine. You've seen it all before anyway."
"This is true. Alright, mask off." She easily removed his mask by pulling it up over his crazy hair. His shirt was already off – having been cut in two, which just left his boots, pants and anything he was wearing underneath. "Foot please." She squatted down in front of him and he kicked one of his feet up on her knee so she could remove his boot.
He said, "I apologize for any smell that comes out of that boot."
"Apology accepted, but not necessary. Hey, I seem to remember you removing my boots not all that long ago."
"I seem to remember a foot massage then too."
"I think you'll owe me another after this is all said and done."
"I think you may be right." Kakashi put his other foot on Anko's knee and she carefully removed his boot, being mindful not to undo anything Sakura had done to heal his ankle.
She looked at him and said, "Can you stand? Pants come off next."
He smiled at her wickedly. He said, "Do you know how much I'd like you to do this for me when I'm not so tired and sore?"
"Then ask me some time."
"I will." Kakashi stood gingerly, testing his ankle and he found it sound. He was still a little wobbly, but he stood as straight and still as possible while Anko undid his belt, wrappings and opened his pants. "Go slower," Kakashi said.
She looked at him and yelled, "Perv! I'm trying to bathe you not seduce you!"
"A man can dream can't he?"
"I think you dream too much."
"Slower."
"Kakashi!"
"Alright, just do it. I can wait."
But can I, Anko thought as she began to peel down his pants and his underwear in one go. She squatted in front of him, entirely too close to his penis.
Kakashi couldn't resist and said, "Someone else is happy to see you again."
"If you don't quit,"
"You'll do what?"
Anko decided to be truly evil and make him suffer for the way he made her hurt. She said, "I'll leave you here without your clothes and I'll go back to work. Then you'll have to take care of feeding and bathing yourself as well as taking care of that too," she pointed at his penis for emphasis.
"You really know how to hurt a man."
"I do my best. Plus, you're in no state to have wild, sweaty, passionate,"
Kakashi's eyes started to glaze over and his penis started to listen to her a little more.
"relations of any sort until you're healed."
"And when will that be? How long will you make we wait?"
"Sakura said tomorrow you should be fine."
"Good. I can wait until tomorrow."
"She also said I have to take care of you tomorrow, so she let Hokage know I would be taking a vacation day to make sure you're taken care of."
"I can't wait to see how you're going to take care of me."
"Let's get that bath first. Then I'll run down to your apartment and get you something comfortable to sleep in. You're not going anywhere until the day after tomorrow."
"You're going to hold me captive until then?"
She looked at him slyly and said, "I am."
"Ok. I agree to be your captive. Now about that bath, I'm getting a little cold standing here all naked and vulnerable. Wouldn't want me catching cold and having to stay longer now would you?" I wouldn't mind that so much Kakashi thought as he finished his sentence.
I wouldn't mind that so much Anko thought as Kakashi finished his sentence.
Anko said, "Alright, come on." She took his left arm and put it around her shoulders and helped walk him to the bathroom. As they went, she resisted the urge to reach her hand across and run it over his chest. She pushed the thought out of her mind as he wobbled a little and she concentrated on steadying him. "Just a little further." They finally made it to the bathroom where she had him sit on the commode and rest a minute before he tried getting into the tub.
She tested the water to make sure it was still warm enough. Then she went back over to him and said, "Let's take that sling off." She carefully took the sling from around the back of his neck and slid it off his arm. His shoulder was still a bit bruised, but it at least looked normal again.
Kakashi moved his arm slowly, "Sakura is truly a medical genius. It feels much better – just a bit stiff."
"Well, let's un-stiffen you and get you relaxed. Come on, up we go." She helped Kakashi stand again and helped him get into the tub. He sat down carefully, sighing like he'd never stop.
When he was fully stretched out and immersed in the not too hot water he said, "Remind me to tip you handsomely for all your help."
Anko snapped back, "Careful Hatake. I'm not your maid."
He looked at her and said, "I'd pay a years' wages to see you in a maid's uniform."
"Oh really?"
"Yep, and if you had, and used a feather duster too? Two years'."
"Shut up. I wish there was a way I could clean your dirty mind."
"Why? You're just as bad as me."
"Not outwardly I'm not."
Then Kakashi stopped and looked at her as she reached for a wash cloth. She had a slight smile on her face. She wasn't even looking at him, she was just getting things together to help him, her friend, bathe his beaten body. She felt him looking at her finally and said, "Everything ok?"
All he said was, "No."
Anko looked at him with concern. "Are you in pain? What's wrong? Sakura left some medicine; I could get you some,"
Kakashi just looked at her again intensely and said, "No." Then he reached out with his good hand and grabbed her by the back of the neck, and pulled her face to his. He kissed her firmly, making her squeak in surprise at how strong he could be even though he wasn't completely healed yet. He released her quickly and settled back into the tub, looking like himself again. She just looked at him as if to say, what the hell what that for?
Kakashi smiled sideways and said, "I just realized right this second, that I've been in your apartment all this time and I hadn't kissed you yet."
Anko felt a little blush tint her cheeks. She said, "Oh." She felt like an innocent girl for a second, then the headstrong Anko came barreling back and she said, "Well it took you long enough!"
"I was injured. I wasn't thinking straight before."
She looked at him and said, "What you don't know is that while you were passed out the first time, I washed your hands and face and kissed you while you were unconscious."
"You did what! You took advantage of me in the incapacitated state I was in?"
She looked like at him like a devil with a secret. She said, "I controlled myself from doing the "other things" I wanted to do to you when you were unconscious."
"I'm glad you did. I wouldn't have wanted to miss that."
"Tomorrow."
"Tomorrow," Kakashi agreed.
Anko began to help Kakashi wash the side of his body that his right arm would normally wash. She let him do all the "other bits" himself because she didn't want him to get too excited. Tomorrow was going to be explosive indeed.
Kakashi thought to himself she's worse than me. I think I may have met my match. Anko my friend, you scare me to death. Anko just kept smiling and working on getting Kakashi clean.
Once he was clean Anko said, "We've got to do something about your hair. You need it washed. I think there are bits of rubble in it."
"There probably are. Do you have any manly smelling shampoo, or does it all smell like something pretty and flowery?"
"I have pretty and flowery and "normal type" too. How about this one? Just smells like clean soap."
"That'll do fine."
"Good, then lean forward." Kakashi leaned forward and Anko used a cup to pour water over his head. "Can you do this with one hand, or do you want me to,"
"Do it. Please."
Anko was happy to wash Kakashi's hair. She'd finally get to touch it like she wanted to when he first fell into her bed. She took some shampoo and rubbed it between her hands and then smeared it all over his hair. Then she started at the top and digging in her short fingernails, she scrubbed his hair vigorously to get the bits of battle, old blood and dirt out of it.
Kakashi interrupted her scrubbing, "My mother used to scrub my hair like that! Jeez! You're going to take half my scalp off!"
"I'm just getting all the shit out of your hair!"
"You could be a little gentler. I am injured you know."
"You are such a baby. And you're enjoying this way too much."
"I'd be enjoying it more if you weren't trying to pull my scalp off my head."
Anko was going to fix him. "How's this?" She curled her fingers and purposefully began scrubbing in gentle circles at the base of his skull. Immediately his eyes rolled. "I got you here last time remember?"
"In the hall at the academy. I remember. Oh, that's good."
"I know," was all she said as she continued to work the small circles up higher on his head. She continued her ministrations until his entire head was soapy and he seemed about to sink into the water.
"Now you've done it," he said and as if on cue, the top of his penis bobbed above the surface of the water, like the periscope on a submarine.
Anko said, "Down periscope."
"Pure evil. You are pure evil."
"I am not. I can't help the fact that you can't control yourself. That's your problem."
"I don't know if I can wait until tomorrow."
"You can and you will. Dr.'s orders." Anko sighed. The sight of Kakashi's penis poking out of the water made her want to tear her clothes off and jump right in there with him. She'd definitely ask him if he wanted to try "tub sex" some time in the future. But he was almost healed now, and there was no sense in possibly injuring him again before he was 100 percent ready for the intense sexual exercises she intended to put him through. She'd wait one more day. "Lean forward so I can rinse the shampoo out." He leaned forward to let her pour cup over cup of water over his hair. Then she ran some clear water and rinsed him again. "Conditioner?"
"Sure. I'll be all fluffy."
"You're always all fluffy."
"I prefer the term, spiky. Sounds manlier."
"Well, whatever, you've always got volume. This may give you even more." She slapped some conditioner on his hair, making sure she didn't spend too much time fondling his scalp like she'd done just minutes before. It wasn't fair to get him all worked up and then turn him down, even though she didn't want to. "Rinse again." She rinsed him off and said, "Alright. You're squeaky clean. I'm going to let you soak for a bit. When you're ready to get out give me a call."
"Thanks a lot Anko. I feel even better now than when I stepped in this tub."
Anko nodded to him, and left. Kakashi put his head against the wall behind the tub and looking at the ceiling he thought I could get used to this.
A few minutes later Anko peeked in on him. He still had his head against the wall and seemed to be dozing. "Kakashi? Don't fall asleep in there. Where's your key? I want to run over to your apartment and get you some clothes."
He stirred a bit but didn't open his eyes, "Top left pocket of my vest. Bedrooms in the back, and I have some sweats and t-shirts in the dresser on the left."
"What about socks and underwear?"
"Don't need them today." He opened his eyes and looked at her, not moving his head from the wall.
Anko said, "Ok then. I'll be right back."
Kakashi smiled when she left and thought I could definitely get used to this.
