"INO!"

"Mm, yes Sakura-chan?" replied Ino in mock innocence.

"Do you actually expect me to wear….this?" Sakura asked, holding up a little black dress. And when I say little, I mean little. The thing appeared to be a t-shirt that had been converted into a dress somehow.

"Sakura you just don't understand! This dress will get you the attention you're looking for. Just act like your normal self and it'll tone down the sexiness of the dress." Ino said carefully avoiding eye contact with Sakura. The previous statement had definitely pulled a few strings inside Sakura's mind. Had Ino just implied that she had a 'not-so-sexy' personality? Sakura's anger for her blonde-haired companion began to rise.

"INO-PIG! Why. Do. You. ALWAYS. Have. To. Say. Things. Like. THAT!" Each pause in Sakura's speech was coupled with a growing redness in her face along with an extra step towards Ino.

With the last word spoken Sakura turned abruptly and left Ino sitting in Sakura's living room. Sakura had headed in the direction of her bedroom, prepared to show Ino the true 'sex-appeal' she could quell.

"You just watch me Ino. Tonight heads will turn." Sakura stated proudly with anger still laced in her voice.

"Okay Forehead-girl!" Ino replied quietly, with a huge smile plastered on her face. Manipulating Sakura was easier then she had thought it would be. Truly Sakura wasn't as blasé as she had implied, Ino merely wanted Sakura to turn her sex-appeal level up a notch for tonight. To Ino's utter delight it had worked. Sakura was fully prepared to show her best friend that she could be sexy.

----------------------------------

Sakura had entered her bedroom and begun putting on her new dress. It was hard to find space to walk through the rather large bedroom though. Ino had bought more clothes then Sakura could fathom possible. Ino had bought everything from sleepwear to sundresses. All of these things Ino had placed in piles & piles in Sakura's bedroom, all ready to be put away into her closet (although she had doubts that all of it would fit). Sakura had a wardrobe that would now possibly rival Ino's.

As Sakura walked around the new piles of clothes that had recently appeared in her room, she began discarding her medical uniform, and put on the 'oh-so-revealing' black dress. The dress reached a good six-inches above her knees and hugged her figure. Accenting her curves perfectly. The dress remained backless and tied up around her neck it also dropped low in the front revealing an impressive amount of cleavage. Sakura turned to the mirror to get a better view of herself. To say the least Sakura was shocked, she looked so, grown up, so mature, so adult, so beautiful! Sakura knew Ino would want to help her with her hair and make-up so it was Sakura's turn to present herself to Ino.

"Ino, come here" Sakura demanded from inside her bedroom, to which Ino complied, quickly leaving her seat in the living room. She knew this dress would be gorgeous on Sakura, but when she saw Sakura, she was blown away.

"Is that really you Forehead-girl?" Ino asked in disbelief. Sakura beamed at Ino's response.

"It does look nice, doesn't it? Ya' know Ino, you did a pretty good job picking this dress out." Ino replied with a facial expression that said only one thing… "Well, duh".

"So we better get this show on the road. Now it's time for hair and make-up!" Ino said pointing a finger to the bathroom door attached to Sakura's bedroom. Sakura followed the direction of the finger somewhat grudgingly, knowing that the next forty-five minutes would be dedicated to the task of beautifying her.

Ino, upon seeing Sakura's fallen expression, quickly piped in, "There's no rest for the beautiful. Now get moving!"

Sure enough, Sakura was correct. Ino spent at least forty-five minutes getting Sakura 'ready'. By the end of it all Sakura looked even more beautiful than before, if that was even possible. Her hair was left down, but not without a few strands being curled to achieve what Ino like to call 'flirt-hair'. Lip-gloss was applied generously onto Sakura's lips, along with the littlest bit of eyeliner and mascara, creating an almost natural look. When Ino was finished, she plopped a pair of four-inch black high-healed shoes in front of Sakura and commanded her to wear them. In affect, Sakura had achieved a model-like height.

"You better go look in the mirror forehead-girl. I think you are going to be pleasantly surprised." Ino plucked Sakura from where she was and quickly directed her to the full-length mirror behind the bedroom door.

"Is, is that really me?" Sakura asked her eyes wide in shock. After seeing herself in the mirror everything between that moment and arriving at the bar was a blur.

----------------------------------

Kakashi had arrived home from his mission. It had been easy and boring so he was ecstatic to be home. It must have been about 5:00 in the evening when he had returned to Konoha. He promptly went to Tsunade to file his report and then went home for a shower and some food. But right before Kakashi was about to head home he bumped into Genma, who had not so surprisingly invited him for drinks. So it was tonight that Kakashi was heading to the bar. This very night was when Sakura was going to test out her new wardrobe, in the very same bar that Kakashi was going to have drinks in with Genma.

----------------------------------

Kakashi sat in a table towards the back of the bar with Genma. Both had drinks in front of them, but both were entirely sober. It was a surprisingly regular night in the bar, Genma was scouting out the women as usual and Kakashi was sitting and twiddling his thumbs…essentially.

"Man, she's a cute one." Genma stated pointing to a blonde sitting at the bar, who was eyeing Genma. Kakashi's only response was a quite 'mm'. Genma, somewhat frustrated with his friends lack of interest in the 'hitting-on-females' department, decided to pry a little.

"So how's your little Sakura doing?" Genma asked innocently.

Kakashi remembering there little kiss replied, "She isn't so little anymore Genma." Genma smirked.

"Tell me about it, she is one hot little number."

"Mm." Kakashi replied knowing Genma was correct. With that said, the door to the bar opened and in came Ino and Sakura. With their entrance, almost every male head in the bar turned to see the two young women enter. Although many of the eyes remained focused on the pink-haired woman and her rather scantly clad outfit. When Genma's gaze had reached Sakura a low whistle escaped his lips.

"See that's what I mean." Genma said, his eyes glued to the woman. Kakashi followed Genma's gaze to be shocked and pleased with what he saw. Sakura, in the most stunning dress he had ever seen. It would be a lie to say that she didn't turn him on, because she most definitely did. She looked perfect; no, she looked beyond that. If he had not wanted her before, now he most certainly did. The only thing was, he had definitely wanted her before…this only made the circumstances worse.

Sakura spotted Kakashi and Genma almost instantly. However, when she saw Kakashi's gaze she stopped-dead in her tracks. His hooded eyes were laced with desire and appeared to be more hooded than usual (if that is even possible). Sakura was fully prepared for any reaction she got from him, but deep down she hadn't expected him to actually want her.

Ino promptly poked Sakura in her back to get her moving once again, and so the two women headed towards the two elite-ninjas' table.

"My oh my, aren't we dressed to kill tonight. Eh Sakura?" Genma stated, and in return, Sakura blushed prettily.

"It was all for you Genma-san." Sakura replied teasingly before she sat down beside Kakashi.

"Pf. Aren't you a tease Sakura-chan." Genma replied somewhat sweetly, and then turned to Ino and invited her to sit by him. It was an offer, which she took gratefully.

At this time Kakashi had yet to say anything, he was still recovering from the shock of seeing his beautiful ex-student walk in to the bar in the most incredible dress ever. But, he didn't want Sakura to realize his shock so he was to remain as concrete ( I don't mean emotionless I just mean 'normal') in personality as usual.

"Yo" Kakashi greeted Sakura in the manner that he usually did but with an added, "you look rather nice this evening Sakura" and an eye crease indicating a smile.

Okay, so it wasn't quite the response she wanted but she'd take it. Perhaps hoping that he'd drop on the floor and beg for her was a little to much to hope for. So Sakura decided that it was time to throw the great copy-nin for a loop.

"Thanks Kakashi-" and in the most flirtatious way possible she added 'sensei'. Sakura saw Kakashi's face change for a minute but because all she could see was, his one eye the emotion that flashed through his face was a little unclear to her.

"I thought we agreed no more 'sensei'?" Kakashi asked, and Sakura sighed.

"So, Kakashi" Sakura said, emphasizing his name without the sensei, "do I look nice enough to get another kiss from you?" she asked in the most sultry voice she could conjure.

Genma choked on his drink when he heard Sakura say that. There had already been a 'first' kiss between them…jeez. Ino smiled proudly, Sakura was getting the job done. The copy-nin was not expecting that, that was for sure.

"Sakura." Kakashi said her name warningly.

"Kakashi." Sakura said teasingly back to him, while Genma and Ino both watched in pure amusement. But before Kakashi could get too fed up with the whole ordeal Sakura abruptly changed the subject.

"Good mission?" She asked. Pleased with the subject change Kakashi replied, "No, it was as boring as hell so I'm glad it's over."

"Ah, too bad it was boring. Maybe you'll get a better mission next time, eh?" Sakura asked, doing her best to maintain a steady conversation before continuing her plan. Meanwhile Kakashi was trying to do his best to look at her face while she spoke and nothing below her neck.

Somehow, Sakura had ended up with a glass of Sake in front of her, but she assumed that was Genma's doing. So she began to drink that, relieving the stress and worry from her body. Then, as she had rehearsed in her mind many times, she dropped the little purse of hers off the table and it fell to the floor.

When Kakashi saw this the lights started flashing in his head. Warning! Warning! Warning! That's all he was thinking. If Sakura was going to bend down to retrieve that purse he was going to get a dangerous view of her cleavage. To Kakashi's displeasure (or pleasure depending on how you look at it) Sakura bent down to pick up the purse that lay by his feet. In turn, Kakashi witnessed a very pleasant view, one that was making this whole situation harder, both mentally… and physically. But then she started to rise from the ground and relief flowed through Kakashi. It didn't last long though. As Sakura sat up she allowed her free hand to gently graze his thigh. His upper thigh.

Kakashi inhaled a jagged breath, but his face remained a perfect picture of calm. Her hand kept going and it once again grazed his thigh, but higher this time, and before he could stop her, her hand rested right above the zipper of his pants.

That's when it happened. The glass in Kakashi's hand broke. His grip around the glass tightened and the glass just broke. Shattered. Crumbled. It surprised Sakura and her hand tightened quickly over his pants giving Kakashi a highly pleasurable feeling, which resulted in a questionable groan leaving his lips.

"What the hell was that for?" Genma asked, his senbon looking as though it may fall from his mouth. But Ino sat there smiling. She had a good idea what had happened.

"Later Genma, later." Kakashi breathed out roughly. Why hadn't he stopped her? Because it felt nice. No! No, he couldn't think like that.

"Is you're hand okay?" Sakura asked pretending as though nothing was unusual about this. She was looking at the silver-haired man who now resembled a deer in headlights.

"It's fine..." he lifted his hand up to show her, "see no scratches, no cuts. I'm fine."

"Well then, in that case I'm heading home." Sakura smiled sweetly, "I think I've had my drink quota for this evening. I'll see you guys later."

They all said there standard good-byes but before Sakura left, she added "Oh and Kakashi I'll see you for training tomorrow. Right?" But she left before he could respond.

Kakashi was left in utter disbelief and a strong, strong desire for his pink-haired ex-student. Who, he now knew, had become a very talented seductress.

Sakura was sure that if Kakashi had any doubts about their age difference then they were gone now. She tried her best to act as natural as possible, and to leave Kakashi in a state of shock. If he had enjoyed himself, perhaps he would come back asking for more.

----------------------------------

Ino, not wanting to stay with Genma any longer since he had been flirting with not only her but also with every woman who looked his way, decided to leave and go see Sakura which left Genma and Kakashi alone.

"Kakashi, what was that all about?" Genma asked, with a knowing smirk on his face (Ino had filled him in a little).

"…."

"Sakura getting a little frisky with you?" Genma asked teasingly.

"A little? Pff, I think it was more than just a little." Kakashi said, still in disbelief regarding the whole situation that had just passed.

"Hatake-Kakashi. He can dish the dirt, but can't take it himself. You are the biggest pervert in all of Konoha. You read your porn in public and make Sakura feel awkward and she dishes it back to you and all you can do is act mad." Genma said accusingly, "sounds a little hypocritical if you ask me."

"Well I didn't ask you Genma." Kakashi said plainly, and to show Genma he really didn't care he pulled out good old Icha Icha Paradise from his pocket and began to read. The rest of the evening continued with Genma going on and on about Kakashi and how he should pursue Sakura. Kakashi just kept replying coolly in a very unconcerned way. But what Genma didn't realize was that Kakashi was having a horrible time reading…all he could think about was Sakura.

As fate would have it, Genma left that evening with the blonde-haired woman who had been sitting at the bar earlier that very evening, but not without Kakashi getting a little revenge on his annoying drinking partner first. Before Genma had left Kakashi had done a quick hand seal and hand effectively performed a jutsu that, well, would result in a rather boring evening for Genma and his blonde partner. Kakashi was really quite annoyed with Genma's incessant chatter about Sakura, mainly because what Genma was saying were things that were echoing his own thoughts. So, Kakashi couldn't resist getting a little revenge on Genma. This revenge would also involve the pink-haired vixen who had cost him a glass of sake this evening. This was the kind of revenge that would result in a great deal of amusement…on his part, at least.
