Sakura awoke in her bed at the inn almost at noon. She sat up and looked through the window of the small room. The sun was shining brightly in the sky with fluffy clouds around it. She saw the tree tops slightly moving from the light breeze. She felt something moving besides her in the bed and she looked at the sleeping man's face. He was handsome but not like Kakashi and his touch had not excited her like his. But when she hooked up with him last night she was just trying to escape the pain and numbness of her own heart. She didn't even remember his name:"I can't believe it I have to resolve to this. I am so weak." She thought while getting up and gathering her stuff to go to the near bath house.

She was walking down the street of the remote village she chose to remain in before her vacation was over:"No, not remain in, escape in." she thought. The small houses formed two rows on each of the sides of the streets. Merchants were selling goods in front of their shops and the people were out in the street doing whatever task they had in mind for the day. Once she reached the bath and dipped herself in the hot steaming water she felt her tensed muscles relax. She leaned her head at the edge and closed her eyes listening to the sounds of nature and relaxing. Then the consequences of her actions hit her:"I can't believe I resolved to this. Sleeping with a man which's name I can't even remember. " Before taking the handsome to her room she found only one good enough reason to do it. Revenge, yes it was perfect. But now when she thought about it, Kakashi is never going to know about this so he will not experience pain as she did. She was too mortified to even tell anyone about her one night encounter.

Once she got back in her own room she was pleased to find the guy gone as they had agreed the evening before. She settled back in bed and decided it was time to take some rest before leaving to go back home. Where he was waiting for her. She wasn't sure if she wanted to face him but she knew that eventually she had to.

It had been a week and Kakashi was going crazy. He was going to Sakura's house every evening to check if maybe she was back. He missing her terribly and the fact that she was in pain because of him was making him feel even worse. He knew he should have waited longer before deciding to have that conversation but he couldn't wait any longer. He had to have not only her body but her whole self. Tonight was no different than the nights before he headed out to her house to see if she was back. As he was walking he raised his gaze to the starry sky and found it captivating and beautiful:"Like Sakura." He thought.

When he reached the house his heartbeat almost stopped. The light in the kitchen was on and he could even see her at the skink washing a cup. She had her hair up in a messy bun on top of her head. She was wearing a black tank top but her face struck him. Her expression was so emotionless he actually thought that there was no emotion in her left. He decided to be polite and knocked on the door.

She turned her head towards the direction of the knock:"I guess news travels fast." She thought while walking to the door to see who it was. She got back less than two hours ago and her friends were already here to see her. They probably had questions as to why did she leave so mysteriously. But once she opened the door she froze in her place. On the other side a familiar masked face was standing. His body was casually leaning against the door frame. He was staring at her with his only visible eye. As he opened his masked mouth to speak she slammed the door in his face with the words:"Save it I don't want to hear it."

She walked back into the kitchen, rage boiling inside of her. Truth was that she was expecting something like this but not so soon. She heard a light poof and turned towards the couch were Kakashi was now sitting on:"Now that was not very nice." He said still sitting not even turning around to face her. The fact that he still stormed her personal space like that made her temper boil even more. She looked around and grabbed the nearest object. The cup she had just washed and threw it in his direction. He dodged it easily just leaning in forward and the cup smashed into pieces in the wall. Before she could even blink he was in front of her pinning her against the counter.

The fact that he was this close to her made her heart beat faster and she found herself hating that. He looked at her and simply breathed out:"You never make things easy for me." She raised her hand to hit him but he caught her wrist in the air and squeezed it tightly. He found it hard to keep her hand in place since she started using a bit of her destructible strength but Kakashi knew that her fiery temper was getting the best of her right now:"Sakura before you do something you are going to regret let me just say that next time you should hear what I have to say. And I mean my whole speech not just the beginning."

Sakura tensed under his hold on her. It never occurred to her that there was something more to say. She just chose not to listen because she did not want the heartache. The horrible emotional pain taking her hold on her mind and body, but at this point she figured there was nothing more to lose so she just looked away and murmured in a low voice:"Alright then. Let's hear what you have to say." She felt his finger tracing her jaw line:""What I wanted to say that day was that I can't keep receiving only your body. I want all of you. Your heart, your trust your affection and maybe soon enough your love. In the beginning I thought that maybe feelings will not get involved that we would continue to enjoy ourselves with the affair we were having. But as time passed I found myself trying to ignore feelings for you because you made it clear that this relationship is purely sexual. And I have to say that I still stand firm and that I will give you a choice you can be with me in a serious relationship or we can just continue being friends and nothing else.

Sakura felt the tears coming at her eyes and she couldn't stop them. One of them tumbled down her cheek. Her lips became a thin line and her hand which he was still holding firmly relaxed. Kakashi let go of her wrist and her arm fell down at her side. She wiped the tear and moved slightly balancing her weight on her right foot:"After what I did while I was away I am not sure if you would still accept me." She looked at him and found a puzzled look on his face. She caught his hand and led him to the couch so they can take a seat.

Kakashi was listening to her fast speech and making out only a few sentences. She was saying that while away she slept with another man. She couldn't even remember his name. Sakura explained that he wanted him to feel pain in the beginning but right now she hated herself for it:"I feel low and cheap. I can't even look at you right now because if I do I feel nothing but guilt pile inside of me." He didn't know what to do or how to react to this information but he knew one thing. He didn't want to lose her and one mistake can be forgiven. As she was talking he leaned in and grabbed the back of her neck forcing her to move towards him. He quickly removed his mask and their lips crashed together in a passionate burning kiss.

Sakura opened her mouth to deepen the kiss. Their tongues were dancing to a familiar tune. A tune she did not want to lose. She arched her body to be closer to him and he scooped her up and lifted her making his way to her bedroom. It was like their first night together. The moon once again was making its way through the window and onto the bed. He looked at her face and saw that her tears were gone replaced by a smile and sparkles in her eyes. He quickly removed her clothing and started kissing her tender and silky skin. Her moans of pleasure were music to his ears. She was impatient and tried to pull him up her body so he can easily enter her:"Not yet." He growled in a low voice. Kakashi wanted to give her more pleasure than she had received from her nameless guy. Her moans and the heat radiating from her body were telling him that she was ready for him. With one swift movement he entered her. Both of them gasped in pleasure and excitement. Kakashi loved the feel of her. He was always easily lost in her. Her hips squeezed around his waist which made him go faster. The moment she arched her back both of them exploded in a shared orgasm. They both fell asleep. He was holding he tightly in his arms and Sakura realized that she was home with him. And she didn't want to lose that ever again.

Two month later:

"It's amazing Ino congratulations." Sakura was looking at the ring on Ino's delicate hand:"I know right. I can't believe it I am engaged. I beat you to it. „she said while pushing playfully Hinata's shoulder. Sakura was a bit amazed that Kiba took the big step before Naruto but she liked the happiness in Ino's voice and face. They were at Sakura's home having coffee and fun talking:"Naruto should be next." Sakura commented and Hinata blushed at her words:"I hope so." She said while taking her cup in her hands. Ino poked Sakura in the shoulder:"What about you Sakura?" Sakura almost chocked on her coffee:"It's been only two since me and Kakashi and me got together. We are moving in together next week. It's too early for marriage." Ino only winked at her which threw all of them into a fit of laughter. In that moment Kakashi came in the house and froze in his place:"I am sorry ladies I thought the afternoon coffee was over."

Sakura smiled and went to him throwing her arms around his neck and gave him a kiss:"Don't worry sunshine we are almost done. You can meet all of us at the teahouse with the others." He slightly nodded and left once again. As Sakura was looking at him walking away she couldn't help but smile. Her friends, the man in her life, everything was perfect. She realized that even if things were different if Daichi was still alive she wouldn't be as happy as she was in this moment. Here and now in this different future she had all to herself.
