Note: Guys, PLEASE don't kill me. Not a whole lotta smut in here, I will apologize. I've been getting some help with that part, so the next chapter wont be for a while. Sorry.

Also, this is a special note to my number one reader (!) and bff, yes, YOU, here's the next chapter. Now tell me, what's your fic? I think I guessed correctly. Muahaha.

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

...was Gai dead? He was still breathing, right?

Sakura and Kakashi sat on the couch in a somewhat delicate position. Sakura was stealthly trying to ignore the strong heat that was currently coursing through her and of course the rather hard body she was atopof, while simutaneously trying to figure out if Gai was still alive.

Kakashi's warm breath slid across her throat as he gingerly whispered to her,
"I think...maybe...we could just...ignore him," The ruff quality to his voice sent shivers down Sakura's spine but she cocked an eyebrow and swiftly swatted the man for his statement. It wouldn't exactly be kind to leave Gai unconcious on Kakashi's living room floor while they continued their...activities.

"Kakashi, you know we can't to that,"
"But Sakura, I reall--"
"KAKASHI! He could be hurt!"

And with that Sakura rose from Kakashi's lap which she regreted instantly. The warm, erotic heat was gone and her body instantly missed it. This also left Kakashi in a state that was far from comfortable and somewhat aggravating. However, Kakashi being the somewhat shameless shinobi that he was, sat there with an expression of no concern for the apparent tightness in his trousers.

"I think he's really out cold..." Sakura said while giving Gai a hard kick to the side.

"Oooh Gai-sensei, the youth of Konoha are beign attacked by inebriated ninja's. We really need you! Come quick! Gai-sensei, please the youthfulness of Konoha will be destroyed soon." The pathetic wails that Sakura emitted did nothing for the usually very helpful ninja.

"...maybe if I just casually telephone Lee he might come and rescue the guy?"
"Sakura, what would Lee do when he saw you in here with me. Honestly, I thought you were my smartest student. Apparently I was incorrect..." The copy-ninja stopped his teasing when he noticed the twitching brows and reddening kunoichi's face.

"...we could tie him up outside?!"

"SENSEI! Why would we do THAT?!?!"
"Eh? For fun Sakura-chan."
"...I'm taking him home you sick man. We are not tying him up. No way. I am not letting you do that." Sakura bent down and grabbed the green-clad man and tossed him over her shoulders as though he were no more than a sack of potatoes.
" I'll see you later old man." With that Sakura was out the door, but not before Kakashi noted an expression of relief flash accross her face.

And poor, poor Kakashi was only left to gawk. His face was crinkled into a somewhat confused expression and his pants seemed to be tighter then usual. The fact that Gai had walked in on them in the middle of a somewhat heated session combined with Sakura's need to help Gai mean't that Kakashi was in need of a cold, very cold shower.

Stifly getting up Kakashi maneuvered his way to his bathroom where he turned the shower on. He slowly undressed. Each layer of his uniform coming off his muscled form and then falling to occupy a small amount of floor space. Admittedly Kakashi had a fair amount of difficulty trying to remove his pants, and he was tempted more then once to just take charge and take care of the situation by finding Sakura as fast as he could, pushing her against a wall and...okay so maybe not the best of ideas. But she left at such an inopportune time and as much as Kakashi thought she was enjoying it he wasn't sure. She had looked so relieved to be leaving him that Kakashi really wasn't sure if what they were about to do had been what she wanted. But he wanted her, so much it hurt...literally. He knew in someways dating an ex-student was troublesome and wrong. But, he'd grown to love the young cherry blossom, bad temper and all. Maybe she's afraid of what she's getting into...

Having finally removed his pants Kakashi stepped into the shower which was spraying down a wonderful dose of cool water, which thankfully took care of business so he switched to the hot water and just enjoyed the warmth and his thoughts....maybe I hurt her, maybe I scared her. Maybe I'm just too old for her. Maybe this whole thing is wrong. She IS nearly half my age. Nearly---

Kakashi froze, he could sense a foreign chakra signature entering his home moving slowly towards the bathroom...and if he wasn't mistaken it was a certain cherry blossoms chakra signature. Said cherry blossom opened the bathroom door delicately and cautiously...merely opening it a good inch or two. She peeked in, meeting Kakashi's eyes and blushing immediately. Yet their gazes remained locked together which Sakura thanked the high heavens for. The glass shower door wasn't leaving much to her imagination - so the eye contact was welcome.

Without looking away from the silver-haired man Sakura opened the door more and stepped inside the now steamy bathroom. He watched her enter and the minute the door closed his senses were awakened and his eyes explored her body, her eyes also fell to his well muscled form that was saying everything Sakura didn't need to hear like, "Eat me, now!"

She stood in his bathroom with a mixed heart, full of desire and apprehension, worry, confusion. All Kakashi could do was stand under the water from the shower and wonder what it was that she was so worried about. Being with him...in that way. Well he certainly thought he was good in the bedroom, so there were no worries there. Then like a ton of bricks he realized. Virgin. Understanding flushed through him and he gave her a kind smile that he hoped expressed his realization, his understanding...and the message that he would be careful. Then, if at all possible, the second ton of bricks came down on the copy-ninja. Where the hell is my mask? Looking quickly to the floor he realized just where it was, ...whoops, no wonder Sakura was keeping eye contact.

His smile had soothed her somewhat, not only because it was a comfort but it he was so damn hot too! Yummy. I mean... heh heh.

Feeling more self-assured Sakura began approach Kakashi. But just as Kakashi had messed with her and Genma, Sakura was about to mess with him. She was not going to make this easy, clothing removal was going to become painfully slow... Slow. Sexy. & Tempting...
