Chapter 3: Heading Out

(Ok I just wanted to let you know that I may not be able to post as often as I have been. I've been on vacation, so I have been able to tend to my stories. 2 updates in one day, you'll get spoiled. I go back to work on Sat. but I promise to try for weekly updates.)

thoughts

Ahhh, why is Kakashi always late. Its almost 9(am). He should have been here almost an hour ago!!

Sakura set her bag down and lowered herself to sit in front of the village gates. She was picking at a blade of grass, when a familiar silhouette shadowed the ground.

"Your late." She said without even looking up.

Kakashi scratched the back of his head sheepishly. "Ya, sorry about that...I was getting a poor little kitty out of a tree and..."

Sakura cut him off "Save it, lets just get going." She picked up her bag, slinging it over her shoulder as she stood up.

"Gee, working with Tsunade sure has made you bossy." His familiar eye crinkle let her know that under his mask he was smiling.

"Well, don't make me show you what else she's taught me, Kakashi." She flashed him a playful smile, and they headed out of the village.

They moved in silence for a while, Kakashi faithfully reading his book, and Sakura deep in thought. "Sakura," Kakashi's voice drew her from her thoughts.

"Huh," She shook her head realizing he was speaking to her.

"I said we will break here for lunch. Is that ok with you?"

"Oh, ya...thats fine." The stopped by a small creek, and began to unpack their lunch.

"Sakura, is everything alright? You seem a little distracted" Kakashi was looking directly at her. Genuine concern in his voice. "Is it the mission."

Sakura just nodded her head. She was ashamed to admit that she was nervous. "It's just that...I've never been on a mission like this before. I mean, I knew that one day I might. Kinoichi are trained that their body is a weapon...in more than one way..." She started to blush, "I, just... wasn't prepared for it to be so soon."

Kakashi face was deeply troubled. "Sakura I have to ask you something...very personal...and I need you to answer, ok?" Sakura wasn't sure that she liked where this was going, but she agreed anyway.

He took a deep breath, "Are you a virgin?" Sakura's face was frozen with terror. What how can I answer that...it's too personal...but I said that I would...oh Kami...

She gulped hard, tears threating to spill down her cheeks. She opened her mouth, but no words would come. So she just nodded her head as confirmation.

Kakashi kept a still face inside however...Damn it Tsunade, what were you thinking. No wonder she's nervous.

"Look don't worry about it." His voice was strong and comforting. "If all goes as planned that wont change. However..." He took a long pause before continuing. "We will have to work on making it seem like your...hm...experienced."

Sakura closed her eyes trying to steady her nerves. She let out a deep breath, and wiped her sweaty palms on her shirt. "When do we start?"

"Right now. Come here." He was sitting with his back to a tree, and he motioned for Sakura to sit between his legs. She obeyed, and sat on her knees facing him. He turned her around so her back was to him and pulled her close till their bodies touched. A small shiver ran through her body, and she tried unsuccessfully to repress it. Kakashi felt it and smirked to himself, this might be more work than I thought.

"Sakura, now I'm going to try something else, try not to flinch." He place his hand on her shoulder and sensually dragged his fingers down the length of her arm, and back up caressing neck, causing goose bumps to appear on her exposed skin. Her body began to tremble, and her breathing became labored.

I barely touched her and she's already getting worked up.

"I think thats enough for right now, well try more when we make camp. We've still got two days till we reach the market. That should be enough time to get you ready." He smiled confidently down at his former student. "Now, lets finish lunch and get moving".

"Ok, Kakashi." Sakura's mind was spinning. What was that? I mean he just touched my arm and it drove me crazy. I've never felt that way before. I wonder what else he has planned...oh' I'm so hopeless...

They finished their meal in silence, then packed up their things and set out. After several hours they decided to make camp. It was still a while before dark, but despite their late departure, they were making good time, and Kakashi felt Sakura could use the extra practice.

Kakashi gave out instructions. "I'll set up camp, you go gather some water."

"No problem, I be back in a flash." She grabbed their water pouches and headed towards the stream. When she returned Kakashi had set out their sleeping bags, and started a fire. She filled a pot with water, and set it over the fire to make instant ramen.

"Ok, now there is more to your disguise than just the physical part. There is also mannerisms and a set of rules." He sat down beside her. "You will have to be submissive, never argue. Only speak when spoken too. And most of all you will have to control your temper. It wont due for you to get angry and blow our cover. Understand?"

"Ya, I get it. I'm a slave, I'll need to act like one." Her voice was confident, but she knew this wasn't going to be easy. The water began to boil, and she added the ramen. They quickly ate, and repacked the pot and supplies before turning to resume the conversation.

"Ok now lets talk about how you should act physically. And I don't just mean responding to being touched. How you walk and carry yourself." He looked her directly in the eye. "Can you be sexy?"

What of course I can't!! Sakura screamed mentally. What is he thinking... I'm not sexy.

"First let me see you walk." She stood and walked across the camp."No, not like that. Sway your hips a little, and let your arms move gracefully against your body." She turned and tried again adding the suggested techniques. Kakashi focused on her intently, his eyes following her every step. Damn, she learns fast, her hips sway perfectly...and look all the curves in just the right places...

"Hows that?" Sakura asked as she returned to his side.

"Just perfect, now lets continue with our earlier lesson." Once again Sakura sat between his legs with her back to his chest. "This time I'm going to turn it up a notch, so be ready." She nodded that she was. Kakashi gently leaned her head to the side exposing her delicate neck and ear. Softly he blew into her ear, his hot breath sending pricks of pleasure through her. Her body wanted to shudder, but she managed to hold it off. "Very good, now lets see how you do next." Kakashi began placing light kisses on her ear, trailing down till he reached her sensitive neck. His kisses became heaver and a deep moan escaped Sakura's lips. Embarrassed, she quickly slapped her hands to her mouth. Deep shades of red colored her face.

"I'm so sorry" her voice was muffled by her hands, still pressed to her lips. Kakashi forced himself to conceal a laugh. " I see, that innocent act is just a front, your really a little hell cat." This time he couldn't help himself. He burst into a fit of laughter.

"Ohh... Kakashi, your such a PERV!!" she turned on him eyes filled with death.

"Now Sakura, I thought we were going to work on that temper of yours. We can't do the mission if you kill me first." With that he fell into another laughing fit.

"Just you wait till we're back at the village." She jumped up and stormed over to her sleeping bag. "I'm going to bed. You... just stay over there."

She ducked into her bag and turned so she was facing away from Kakashi. She wasn't really angry, her pride was just bruised. I can't believe I moaned like that.. He must think I'm such a child ... but it felt so good, my body has never felt that way before...And why is my stomach all fluttery...it's just Kakashi

(Oh, is Sakura starting to like Kakashi... they still have another day before they get where they are going...what will he teach her next... you'll just have to wait and see...please review.)
