Disclaimer: I'm so so so sorry for not having updated for such a long time, and I have potentially lost all readers I had, if, of course, I had any, but I've been really busy with school, exams and work, and Fanfictioning had to be taken a little ways down on my list of priorities. I'm so sorry! But, on another note, I don't really know where this story is going anymore, since I haven't updated for a while, but I promise to come up with something amazing. I'm also updating all my other stories, so keep an eye out! :)
Please read and review.
A week on from the Icha Icha situation
After the whole Icha Icha situation, Kakashi was a lot more careful with where he put his book. He was touched that Sakura had gone to that much trouble, because he could see that she had genuinely felt terrible for hiding it from him, but he hoped that she, as well as Naruto and Sasuke, took his warning seriously.
As Kakashi and his team were taking a gentle stroll to the training grounds, Pakkun appeared with a poof of smoke in front of them, causing everyone to abruptly stop and for Sakura to kneel down and coo over Pakkun. Kakashi bent down alongside Sakura, but for a whole different reason.
"What's up, Pakkun?" Kakashi rubbed a hand over Pakkun's fur, his hand accidentally bumping Sakura's. The two glanced at each other and shared a small smile, before turning their attentions to the pug in front of them.
"Lady Tsunade wants to see yourself and Sakura, right away."
Kakashi nodded, running his hands through Pakkun's fur one last time before standing up. "Thank you, Pakkun. Make sure the other's behave themselves."
Pakkun gave a little nod, and disappeared, causing Sakura to sigh in disappointment and stand up. Kakashi turned to Sasuke and Naruto, barely disguised curiosity on both their faces, though Sasuke's was slightly harder to see. "You two can go to the training grounds and practise chakra control. GO!" Naruto gave a little salute, calling out 'Race you, Sasuke!" as he turned and took off at a run, at which Sasuke smirked and chased after Naruto.
This left Sakura and Kakashi to walk, rather rapidly, to Lady Tsunade's office, only to find that there was a notice on the door, addressed to them. It read:
Kakashi, Sakura,
The two of you are going on a mission. It's not overly strenuous, and involves the two of you camping out while observing Orchimaru's movements. You set off tomorrow at dawn. Meet here at six sharp tomorrow morning. This mission is for a week.
Good luck, Lady Tsunade.
"She... cannot be serious... is that it?" Kakashi wholeheartedly agreed with Sakura, however, he knew that there was an ulterior motive to sending just the two of them camping to 'monitor Orochimaru's movements'. As far as any Shinobi knew, Orochimaru wasn't even a threat right now. Lady Tsunade knew this, so why...?
Oh. Kakashi's eyes widened. She's not doing this because Orochimaru's a threat... she's doing this because she needs Sakura and myself to get to know each other better, and what better a time then when we're living in a tent for a week or so together? She gets worse every year...
Kakashi let his inner monologue fade away, because he had noticed that Sakura was now staring at him.
Unfortunately for Kakashi, Sakura had also caught on to what Tsunade was up to.
"This isn't a real mission is it?"
"No."
"Orochimaru's not an actual threat, is he?
"No."
"She's trying to get us closer isn't she?"
"Yes."
"You're gonna make me eat every day, three times a day, aren't you?"
"Yep."
"I'm not gonna be allowed to try and bring it back up, am I?"
Kakashi's eyes widened. "No" he choked.
All of a sudden, Sakura found herself pinned to the wall, Kakashi's form pressing fully against her, his arms bent at the elbow rested either side of her head, his lips at her neck.
"Why... do you... do this... to yourself... hmm?" This questions was asked between kisses, and Sakura was having a hard time trying to tame her inner desire.
"I don't... like... ah... eating." Kakashi smiled at the fact that she was moaning at this small amount of contact.
"Why?" He breathed against her creamy neck.
"I just... don't..." He nodded, knowing that she was telling the truth.
Keeping her pinned to the wall, Kakashi kissed her on the lips fully, one of his hands coming to tangle in her pink hair, while the other one rested on her hip.
After ten minutes or so, the two broke away, and Kakashi walked Sakura to her apartment. As they got to the apartment, he went to turn away, but Sakura grabbed his hand and pulled him in after her, slamming the door and giggling.
"Right. Packing." Sakura frowned.
"What about you, Kakashi-sensei?"
"Please, Sakura, call me Kakashi-kun."
"Too big a mouthful, how about...," she struck her favourite thinking pose, "'Kashi-kun?"
Kakashi laughed, his deep, throaty laugh vibrating deep within Sakura's stomach. "'Kashi-kun it is."
Sakura smiled at his obvious approval, going into her bedroom, standing on the bed and getting her suitcase down from off the top of the wardrobe. Then, she jumped off the bed, put the suitcase on her duvet, and started to pack, meticulously folding each and every item. Every time she was unsure of something, she'd hold it up, and Kakashi, or 'Kashi-kun, as he was now known, would either nod or shake his head.
Half an hour later, Sakura was all packed, and so the two bid goodbye at the doorway of Sakura's apartment, and went their own ways in preparation of tomorrow's 'mission'.
It got a bit more physical in this chapter, so sorry if this caught anyone out.
Heehee, read and review :)
