Anko opened her eyes slowly, trying to focus and finding the cold ceiling looking at her. She took a deep breath and glanced at the window. It wasn't morning yet, the stars were shining their last few traces of existence before the sun would hide them away from the human eye. The kunoichi tried to straighten up but a heavy arm was around her waist, avoiding any further move. Blinking heavily she scratched her nape and left a soft yawn escape from her lips. A light shiver ran on her chest, rubbing her eyes she looked at the cause and realized that her chest was exposed. Looking for her blanket she realized that it was all wrapped around her companion's waist. Great, got myself a dude that not only likes to read porn, also to hog covers.
Grunting she tried to reach the little piece of shelter that her partner left on her hips with her left hand, trying in not to wake the lazy Jounin that snore lightly next to her. Anko gulped when her fingers brushed with Kakashi's, he mumbled in response and rubbed his head on her right side, breathing warmly over her right breast and making her blush lightly. The kunoichi took a deep breath and closed her eyes firmly, concentrating all her willpower in achieving the blanket and not falling to her hormones again. Her hand skipped his smoothly and smiled once her fingers were rubbing her cover. Pulling it softly to her top, she managed to cover half of her exposed body and grinning triumphantly she shut her eyes, trying to fall asleep once again. Everything seemed fine until an annoying noise make Anko to open her eyes again, cursing she pulled her pillow over her face, trying to ignore the disturbing sound. This is not happening.
The arm that was holding her tightly moved lightly, his head rubbed next to her, trying like her to find some shelter under her skin. Even though she loved the way he was sleeping so innocently next to her, she knew that if that noise was repeated the jounin aside her would wake up fully and leave her, again. For her misfortune the noise was heard again, making her hypothesis come true and with a gentle move the silver haired jounin woke up, but instead of walking away from her, he straightened up and glanced her.
-Who's knocking?
She rolled her eyes-How the heck should I know!?.-grunting under the pillow and hitting her head over the mattress.
Kakashi scratched his neck and yawned openly. The knocks became more frequent but this time accompanied with a muffled voice, he rubbed his normal eye with the back of his right hand and with a last scratch on his chest he gazed at his partner.
-Aren't you supposed to open the door?
-Hell no! Too fucking early to leave bed.-turning right, still hiding her face under the pillow and pulling the cover over her.-With luck, the bastard will stop before I get really pissed.
A loud knock broke Anko's expectations, cursing, the kunoichi sat up and started looking for her garments. Finding her dressing gown and slippers scattered all over the floor and dressing herself in less than a second.
-That's it! I'm gonna kill it!.-looking for her loyal pouch filled with poisoned kunai in her drawer.
-Don't be dramatic, perhaps it's just a missionary spreading god's word.
-In that case no one will miss his lost.-placing her pouch on her hip and taking a scroll off her closet.
Kakashi scratched his nape and sighed heavily, Anko tied firmly a knot on her gown and walked outside her bedroom. Storming and still cursing she pulled a kunai of her pouch and before thinking she opened her door and threw the kunai at whatever was behind it. To her surprise the person on the other side wasn't a missionary doing his daily Sunday job, even less the usual encyclopaedia seller that weekly bugged her. It was what it seemed to be a flower pot shining at her, rubbing her eyes and blinking in disbelief she realized that it wasn't a flower pot indeed, besides since when pots sparkled? Anko blinked in shock when the flower pot smiled at her. Ok... I'm officially mental.
-Greeting my violet blossom of youth. How did you wake up this fine Sunday morning?
Naked and held by a hot ninja –Great until you bang my door.
-My most sincere apologies for waking you up this early Anko-chan, I was just doing my daily jogging when I decided to come by and check if you were fine.
Anko raised her right brow and crossed her arms over her chest, laying on the door's frame.-And you couldn't wait any longer to ask me that, right bowl's head?
-Sorry Anko-chan, I was really worried when you disappeared from Kurenai's party.
-I'm fine, dope. Just a little dizzy and sober, but fine.
-Great! In that case, let me prepare a non-fat but delightful breakfast for you.-picking up a picnic basket that was hidden on his back.
-No! That's not necessary Gai!.-shaking her hands in desperation and glancing at her apartment.-Besides my place is a complete mess.
-Nonsense! It's the least I can do after waking you up, hurting indirectly but unintentionally your delicate hand and leaving you walk back all by yourself to your place.
I didn't walk back home by myself… Wait! What the heck I'm thinking of?!- It's not a big deal, really! Why don't you come back when I clean this mess and sort some 'things' of my place? Yeah like having non-stop sex with a certain silver haired jounin, six-packed, loaded and with a great firm ass!-Gai?
The green jounin was looking at everything that surrounded him, the frames hanging on her walls, the violet couches she held, even at her dining table. Everything in the room screamed her name, it was all in the same colour and with the same simplicity that Anko tried to express with her garments. Gai blinked in confusion when he spotted something awkward on the floor, it surely broke the harmony in the place. Anko panicked and ran where Gai was and pulled him from the collar.
-Are you nuts! Get the hell out of here!
-Anko-chan, what is this?
Anko blushed when he showed her the green torn vest and gaped in horror when he approached it to his nose. The kunoichi jumped like a wild tiger and with an agile move she took the garment off Gai's hands, landing gracefully on her legs and glaring at the green gnome. Gai was about to applaud her deed when his eyes caught a glimpse of navy blue under her couch. He knelt in order to retrieve it, when Anko jumped again but this time landing in front of him. Confused the green jounin stood up and stared at his partner, she was smiling nervously and taking his right arm with hers, she started guiding him to the door.
-Really Gai, this isn't the time!.-Pulling him further.- Why don't you come over once my place is fixed? And Kakashi isn't here naked and… oh shut up already! Besides you're team is waiting and I'm sure you don't want them to think that you're copying Kakashi's bad habit, right?
-You're right.- Grinning and making his nice guy pose.- In that case, see you later Anko-chan!-. Running away and laughing like a manic, waking up most of the neighbourhood in the process.
Anko sweat dropped and closed the door, laying her back on it and sliding slowly until her but hit the floor.
-Thanks for the compliment.
Anko raised her head and smiled weakly. -Anytime.
-So what the green pest wanted?
-To check if I was fine, if I needed something, you know his Gai-ish way of doing things.
Kakashi arched a brow and crossed his arms over his chest.- Are you sure that was all?
-What else could it be?-. Rolling her eyes and muttering to her thoughts. Men
-Dunno, maybe to get a peek of what you look like in the morning.
Anko could not help it but laugh. -Oh yeah sure! I look absolutely astonishing, in my dressing gown and with my sophisticated fluffy purple slippers!
-What? You look fine to me.
A deep crimson filled her cheeks, she shook her head and glared him.-Oh shut up and gimme me some sugar.
A soft chuckle replied her. Smiling the kunoichi stood up and walked to her bedroom's doorframe in which a certain silver haired jounin was laid, wrapped with her blanket and glancing at her with a diverted eye. She placed her lips on his and slid her tongue on his mouth, putting some effort on it and making him moan softly in her mouth. Anko chuckled and biting his bottom lip softly she pulled apart.
-Feeling bossy today?
-Today? - chuckling she punched his chest playfully.- Porn freak, you have no idea.
---
Kakashi opened his apartment's door still feeling a little tipsy, pretty sure that it wasn't a side effect of last night party he grinned like a spoiled brat and placed his key on the dining table. Walking to his bathroom, the jounin began untying his sandals, when he was about to unzip his vest he found out that it wasn't there. Kakashi blinked in confusion but a naughty smile appeared afterwards. The silver jounin pulled off his shirt and threw it to the basket on the corner, after unzipping his pants and repeating the same procedure he opened the faucet and started filling the tub with hot steamy water. Glancing at the mirror, he realized that there were many red spots over his body, trailing down in a very suggestive way. A shiver ran all over his spine when he spotted a big red spot near his companion Man… she knows how to do it, chuckling he decided to think of that later and get in the tub.
The hot water made wonders on him, relaxing his muscles and releasing from his back any type of stress it held. Kakashi felt how his body was moaning in pleasure once he got in, taking a deep breath he closed his eyes and submerged his body entirely. Some minor noises broke his relaxation, but he didn't care. As long as the water continued this hot and refreshing, everything could go to hell. Sunday was usually a quiet day, most of the shinobi in Konoha were relaxing or training on the outskirts. Kakashi always took this day as a perfect chance to relax his body and mind, also to fill his chakra's reserve so next mission he'll surely bust up and beat everyone's asses. The copy ninja wondered when was the last time he got himself a good time in the water, when a light tap broke his concentration.
Grunting and cursing mentally, he straightened up and glared at the little window on his right. A second tap caught all his attention, raising a brow he unlocked the window and let in whatever was doing such noise. To his surprise a flapping sound filled the room, Kakashi sighed heavily and waited patiently with both arms crossed over his chest. The bird landed over his head and pecked him gently. Rolling his eyes he tried to scare it, but the bird avoided his intents by landing on his shoulder. Scratching his neck he looked left.
-Now?
The bird squawked on his ear, Kakashi glared it in disapproval and the little sparrow pecked his earlobe as sign of forgiveness. The jounin rolled his eyes and stood up, taking the white towel that was hanging on the wall and wrapping around his waist, he left the bathroom. Stepping in his bedroom, the copy ninja opened his closet and pulled out some clean garments along with a new jounin vest. Kakashi scratched his scalp and placed all his clothes over the bed, when was about to take off the towel, he remembered something.
-Do you mind?
Hala jumped off his shoulder and flew to the living room. Kakashi was sure that if the sparrow would have eyes like humans, she would have probably rolled her eyes, the jounin snickered at this thought and closed the door. Resuming his dressing routine, he took his pouch and some few scrolls, making a mental note to ask for the other ones once he spotted her again. Kakashi blinked and opened the door quickly, rushing to his bathroom he took his dirty pants and started searching for something in the pockets. He snickered once his fingers felt a sharp object, with caution he pulled it out and grinned. She'll rip my arms off and beat me with them once she finds out that I took this. In his palm shone a long silver clip with tiny stones along it. On the end was a delicate dragonfly carved with two lavender stones for eyes. Smiling, he placed it inside his vest pocket. Kakashi walked to his living room and gazed at the little bird that was waiting for him over a couch.
-Better be important Hala, I had a rough night yesterday.
The grey sparrow gazed at him confused and flew to his shoulder, the jounin opened the door and snickered. You have no idea how rough
---
Anko scratched her head and gazed at her surroundings, she had no idea where to start. Once Kakashi left her apartment and she took a nice long deserved bath, she got a message from Kurenai. The red eyed kunoichi asked her to come by to her apartment, apparently she had something serious to ask her about. If Anko knew that this serious thing was in fact a favour and it involved helping her cleaning her apartment, she would just play deaf and wait until her friend knocked her door personally and dragged her all the way to the apartment. Anko sighed heavily once she picked the last disposable glass of the room. Apparently more shinobi came by and the glasses she and Gai bought for the party weren't enough so they decided to buy some more for the new guests.
Kurenai was sweeping the floor while Asuma was taking out all the bags filled with garbage. They were cleaning the mess for an hour when Gai stepped inside and offered his youthful and never-ending strength to help them with the quest and after so many "mind with the couch Anko" and "That goes over here" the four shinobi finished cleaning Kurenai's place. The kunoichi went to the kitchen and started preparing some refreshment for the gentlemen that were sitting on the living room. Anko placed four drinks over a tray, she took it with both hands and was walking with it to the living room, when a gentle hand stopped her journey. Anko blinked and looked at the owner of the hand, finding Kurenai's stare and something that resembled a smirk, something Anko would be proud of, if it wasn't at her who Kurenai was smirking at.
-What?
-How did it go?
-I don't know what you're talking about.- trying to release from her grip, unfortunately Kurenai held her quite firmly.
-Don't play fool with me, Anko. I know you more than I wished for, I just want to know. Did you guys did it again?
Anko's cheeks were coloured with a crimson than even the rubies would die for it.- I'll take that as a yes.- giggling and releasing her friend.
-Oh, just shut up.- glaring at her friend and walking to the living room with the tray on her hands.
Both shinobi thanked her and drank their lemonade cheerfully. Gai started babbling about a recipe that his grandmother developed when he was young, he said that this drink was able to boost up chakra levels. Asuma arched his brow but assented cordially, he was about to pull out a cigarette from his pocket when Kurenai glared him, instead he crossed his arms over his chest and grumped like a spoiled brat. Anko rolled her eyes but snickered, even though her friend and the shinobi wouldn't admit that they were together, the interaction both held amazed her and let her wonder if she held something similar with the Konoha's genius. They were chatting about the upcoming missions when a burst in Anko's stomach, dragged everybody's attention.
-Hungry, kiddo?
-Oh shut up, Smokey. Not my fault that your sweet muffin called me before I got the chance to have a decent breakfast!.- ignoring their blushes and the death glares her friend was giving.
-Having an empty stomach is not healthy, Anko-chan. Want me to cook you something?
Another burst silenced the violet kunoichi, this time it came from Asuma. He scratched his neck and blushed lightly.
-Think we're all hungry, don't we? Well let's get some stuff as a reward for all this cleanliness.
-Sounds like a plan to me, you're in Anko?
-Hell I am!
-What about you, mate?
-Of course I will! Nothing is more energizing than a good meal after so much hard work!-grinning and doing his nice guy pose.
-Yeah whatever.-scratching his beard.- Ok, let's go.
-Yes! Let's bump our bodies 500 times, so we'll enjoy our meals even better!
A sepulchral silence fell over them.
-Err… nope, not today, mate.
---
Kakashi panted once he performed his last jutsu, his apprentice was getting really accurate with her aiming and her jutsus were even deadlier than the last time they fought seriously. The jounin cleaned the sweat of his forehead with the back of his right hand, he sat over the humid grass and let his back rest on the nearest trunk. Gasping he checked his surroundings, he was sure that he escape of that mortal attack just in time to dash and hide from her, until he got the time to plan another strategy and regain a little of chakra. Kakashi scratched his neck and unfolded the scroll on his left hand and started analyzing it. It didn't look special, but he couldn't open it not until he got the last one. Taking a deep breath he stood up and saved the scroll on his pouch, along with the other two. Just one more… man how I hate getting old. Jumping to the top of the tree and performing some hand seals, he placed some explosive tags on the trunk and with a final glance he left disappeared with puff of white smoke.
Earlier that afternoon
-Come again?
-You heard me, Kakashi-sensei. This time the one that collects 4 scrolls, wins.
Kakashi scratched his neck and sighed.-Is there another way?
-No, you want it, you fight it.
The silver haired jounin crossed his arms over his chest, glancing at the kunoichi. She was gazing back with both hands on her hips and smiling pleasantly. Rubbing his neck for the last time he nodded.
Back to normal time
Kakashi stopped on a branch, something smelled funny. Pulling up his forehead protector and glancing at his surroundings with his sharingan eye he resumed his journey, jumping from tree to tree. A clear spot informed him that he was getting near, he clapped both hands.
- Kuchiyose no Jutsu!
A brownish mutt appeared next to Kakashi.
-Yo, Kakashi! his ears with his right paw.-Want me to find you the last one?
Kakashi shook his head.-Not this time Pakkun, I need you to tell me what this scent has in it.
-Alright
The pug sat and started sniffing the air, meanwhile Kakashi pulled out a kunai from his pouch, keeping an eye on the scenery.
-There's white wine on it… also a bit of saffron, along with clove and cinnamon. There's another scent, but it's too faint to tell for sure what is.
-Speculate
-Ok, no need to be that harsh on me.
The dog sniffed again but this time took a deep breath, Kakashi was beginning to feel his head spinning and the surroundings were fading away.
-Smells odd, like fresh and green... something like-
-Opium!
-Precisely! Ey wait up where are you taking me!
Kakashi ignored his pleas and started jumping as fast as he could, away from there with the pug on his right hand. Kakashi felt how his body started to feel numb, his senses were failing him. If only he could reach to that clear spot in front of them. How stupid and careless I am! Why didn't I realize sooner it was laudanum?! He jumped to the last tree and with all his strength he threw himself to the clear patch, crashing on the grass but taking care enough in not crushing the dog with him. Kakashi panted while releasing the dog from his embrace, the dog gazed at his master with great concern but decided to leave him alone and with a puff of smoke it disappeared. The jounin took a deep breath of clean air and tried to sit up but something in his back ached. Rubbing his scalp he moved left and glanced at the spot where he was. Frowning, he dug his fingers on the grass and with an agile move he pulled out the reason of his discomfort. Chuckling he laid back again and closed his eye.
-Finally, the last one.
---
Anko looked at the menu for the fourth time, checking if everything she read was correct and trying to find something good for her own demands. The waiter was tapping the floor impatiently with his right foot and piercing the kunoichi's head with his stare. Kurenai was playing with the saltcellar, Asuma was making smoke circles and Gai was just staring at the bright colours on the restaurant's walls. Anko scratched her head and placed the menu over the table, her friends looked at her expectantly. She grinned and looked at the waiter.
-I decided to take No.1 but no spice on it, ok?
-As you command Miss, Anything else?
-A let me see…-taking again the menu.
-No! She's fine!.- Yelled Kurenai and took the menu from her friend's hands.- Right?-. Glaring at the violet kunoichi.
Anko gulped and scratched her neck.-Yeah… just a plate full of dangos with chocolate syrup on them, please.
-Be right back with your orders, if you excuse me.
All the shinobi nodded and laid back, glancing at everything that surrounded them. Anko was trying to see everything the restaurant held, it was a colourful and peculiar place. On the walls, there were many sorts of carpets with different draws on them. Anko felt how her mind drool over, when she spotted a poster with three of the most delicious sweets she ever tasted in her life, on it. They were winking at her, tempting the kunoichi to stand up and lick the poster in that instant. Anko obeyed and walked to the counter where she knew her babies were waiting, ignoring the questions and demands from her friends she walked closer. Avoiding hitting someone with her hips, she stepped closer. Just a little further… Someone blocked her view. Angered she tried to push away the funny one, when she realized that it was a woman with long purple hair falling on her back.
-Can I help you?
Astonished, Anko blinked in shock once she realized who she was talking to, she seemed nice and was looking at her with a perplex but gentle gaze. The kunoichi felt her cheeks burning once she realized that her hand was over the stranger's shoulder, she pulled it away instantly and looked at the floor.
-Sorry, I was just trying to…-playing with her fingers and avoiding the gaze.
-Bad habits never disappear, right Anko?
Shocked she looked up and finding a deep grey eye gazing at her, a gloved hand greeted her along with a diverted smile hidden behind a navy blue mask.
-.-.-.-.-
A/N: Uff finally I was able to put this together -gasps- oh my god, sure this is taking too much of me! Anyway sorry for not posting last Monday, like I wrote on my profile. Didn't know that HP7 would take that long and it would make me feel that sad! Anyway I'll just shut up before talking about that book and spoiling you the end of it. Well hope you like their little frisky moment because now comes the nasty stuff… and yes I mean the bitter, sour, all those spices that most of the people don't like but they're so necessary to appreciate the sweet ones. Anyway thanks for reading and here comes the surprise I mentioned you last time, well here is the deal. Since I got too many reviews that a simple reply doesn't seem enough for me to thank your kind words. So I took a pencil the other day and guess what? Yes I drew something from Gelato, want to see what scene was? Well you have to review me your e-mail account so I can send the picture to you! I know is not the big thing but at least is something more than just a thanks right? Anyway don't forget f f . n e t doesn't allow to post e-mail accounts that easily, so to avoid this put your e-mail account with spaces between each letter, like this: l i r a (underscore) w e a s l e y h o t m a i l . c o m hehehe it works I promise. Well better dash, someone is shouting my name and I'm not sure if this time I'm the culprit. See ya on Monday (I hope! T.T)
Thanks again to the best pals on the website, TwoTails for her kind words (will PM you later!), Prophet (good luck with your exams) and of course Mwezi (where are you?) And all of you that makes this story possible.
