Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto

Thanks again for all the support, you guys have been awesome! Things have been going well, and I'm felling pretty good. I'm dedicating this chapter to Jenneke88, who has helped me with her infinite wisdom and inspiration.....(plus this makes good motivation for an update of her own). I hope everyone will enjoy this "fun" little chapter ;D And on an irrelevant little side note, most of you probably know by know that I'm a huge 'Twilight' fan. I just found out that the guy who plays Edward in the upcoming movie will be signing autographs and t-shirts in a city only 3 hours away from me. But, since I'm still not allowed to drive yet (b/c of surgery), I have to miss it. So sad...oh well..... on with the show :)

Chapter 18:Just for Tonight

Inner Sakura/ Thoughts

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Sakura!" Sasuke pounded his fist against Sakura's door. "Open the damn door! Please let me explain." His hand made contact against the wooden obstruction, shaking its frame.

He ran his fingers through his raven locks, pushing it out of his face. " I know your home. Don't make me break the door down."

After a brief shuffling from inside the house, the door swung violently open. Ino glared out from the partially open doorway, one hand bracing the door frame, the other planted firmly on her hip.

"What do you want Uchiha?" Her voice dripped with obvious disdain.

Sasuke spoke through his teeth. " I want to speak to Sakura." His eyes narrowed and he returned Ino's glare.

"Like I told you yesterday, she doesn't want to talk to you." She moved to slam the door in his face, but he caught it by the edge before it closed.

"Back off Sasuke" Ino pushed on the door, but Sasuke held tight.

His face twisted into a menacing scowl. "Not till I've had a chance to explain."

Ino's expression turned to disbelief, and her tone was mocking. "Oh, I can't wait to hear your explanation for being caught screwing another woman."

Sasuke had to reign in his anger. " I would never cheat on Sakura."

Ino cocked an eyebrow. "Really,then what exactly were you doing?"

"I didn't know it wasn't her!" Sasuke's voice exploded. " It was dark, and I didn't get a good look at her."

"So you always undress random people who come to your apartment? Remind me not to visit." She tried pushing on the door again, but to no avail. "I'm not buying that crap, and neither will Sakura. Now leave before I make you take a long walk off a short cliff."

He gave a dark laugh. "I'm not scared of you."

"But you are scared of Tsunade." A confident smile lit the blond's face, as she watched Sasuke's obvious displeasure at the mention of that name. " Leave now, or I'll tell her the real reason her apprentice hasn't been in for two days." She pushed the door again, this time he didn't resist, and the door shut with a satisfying thud.

"This isn't over." Sasuke turned from her apartment, and stormed down the street towards the practice fields. Hopefully he could find Naruto a work off some of his frustration.

Ino pressed her back against the door and let out a sigh of relief. "He's gone." she called across the room as she walked over to the sofa and sat down.

The bedroom door opened and Sakura moved to join Ino. "Do you believe what he said?" There was hope and mistrust in the rosettes voice.

"You could hear us all the way in there?" Sakura nodded in admission. Ino chewed on her bottom lip. She was hoping to spare her friend the pain of hearing his voice.

Ino slowly shook her head. "No. I don't believe him. How could I? I mean, are we seriously supposed to believe that a Shinobi like Sasuke really confuse red hair for pink just because it was a little dark? Or that he couldn't tell the difference in your voices? No. Its just to much to accept."

Sakura lowered her head. "Yeah, your right. He must be lying."

The pain in Sakura's voice made Ino furious. She deserved better than this. "Sorry Sakura." She reached out to take her friends hand when an idea hit her. " I know how to cheer you up. We're going out."

Sakura looked at her doubtfully, but Ino cut her off. " I'm not taking no for an answer. You need to let loose and have a little fun." She gave Sakura her most convincing smile. "Besides, they just opened up this great little club outside the village, that I've been dying to go to."

He first reaction was to tell her know, but she couldn't deny that Ino was right. Things had really sucked lately, and she could use a little fun. "Ok, you win. I'll go out with you."

"Yes!" Ino's voice erupted into a series of high pitched squeals. She flung her arms around Sakura, embracing her in a bone crushing hug. "Thank you, thank you, thank you. We're going to have so much fun."

Sakura mumbled under her breath. "I really hope I wont regret this."

Two hours later, and the girls were standing outside the club. A steady beat of music could be heard from down the street, and multi colored lights flashed, advertising the clubs entrance. A group of men whistled as they walked past, and Sakura was beginning to doubt whether this was a good idea.

"I still cant believe I let you dress me." She looked down at her revealing outfit. She wore a sexy red top with a plunging neckline, a short denim skirt, and a pair of strappy heels. Her pink locks fell in ringlets around her face, and her lips were painted dark red. "I look like a whore. Those guys probably thought we were prostitutes."

"Sakura, your being ridiculous. They were starring because we look hot." She Swiped her hand down her body like a game show host showcasing a prize.

Sakura rolled her eyes. At least her outfit was more modest than Ino's. Her long blond hair cascaded loosely down her back, stopping just above her hips. She wore a dark purple halter dress, that landed mid thigh. The v-shaped plunging neckline rested on her belly button, and large openings on her sides and back, left little to the imagination.

The door opened and they were flooded by lights and sounds. As they stepped into the crowded club, Ino took Sakura by the hand and lead her through the moving crowd. Everyone was dancing and jumping to the music and Ino began to sway along as they made their way to the bar.

"What do you want to drink?" Ino had to practically yell over the roar of the club.

Sakura shook her head. " I don't care. Whatever your having." A huge grin appeared on Ino's face, but before Sakura could remedy her mistake, she slipped away between the sea of people.

She returned in a flash, carrying a small tray filled with glasses of brightly colored liquid. Sakura looked at her skeptically. "What is that?"

Ino pressed a glass into her hand. "Don't ask. Just drink." She tipped back her glass and downed it in one gulp.

Hesitantly, Sakura followed suite, gaging as the liquid burned her throat. "Could you have gotten anything stronger?"

Ino flashed her a wicked grin. "No. Now drink up, were her to have fun!"

They both picked up another glass, toasted mid air, and knocked it back.

Sakura just finished her third glass, when a warm hand rested gently on her shoulder, startling her. She spun around, hand instinctively going to her waist where her kunai would be. A velvety voice quickly soothed her concerns.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to frighten you." Sakura looked up into beautiful brown eyes. Standing before her was a young man, about her age, dressed in dark clothes. He was tall, with brown hair, medium build and cute features.

"My name is Ken. I was just wondering if you wanted to dance?" He held out his hand to her.

"Well...I don't..." Sakura began to excuse herself, but Ino cut in.

"She would love to. Isn't that right Sakura ." She nudged Sakura closer to him, receiving a death glare.

"Great." Ken took Sakura by the hand and lead her to the dance floor.

The pair made their way through other dancers, till they came to a vacant spot. They let their bodies sway along to the upbeat pace of the music. Sakura ran one hand along her body while the other was raised above her head, her hips gently moving back and forth.

Ken placed one hand on her side, and the other at her waist. He pulled her closer, till their bodies were touching, and they could feel each others breath on their skin. Usually, Sakura would have never dance this way with someone she just met, but the drinks lowered her inhibitions. In the distance she saw Ino dancing with a small group of guys. She wanted to be upset with Ino, but she couldn't, she was having too good of a time.

Kakashi sat in a dark corner, sipping the strongest thing he could find. The club was packed with people, and loud music blasted from all around the room. Not his usual choice to hang out, but perfect to pick up women, and tonight he was looking for companionship. He had been sitting there for almost an hour watching the people trickle in and out. Several women had managed to find him hiding in the darkness, but he dismissed them all. They just weren't her.

Then, something moving through the crowd caught his eye. A flash of pink. His heart skipped a beat, but it couldn't be her, she would never come to a place like this. Then the figure was lost amongst the crowd of bodies.

He tipped back the remaining contents of his glass. And he saw her again. This time she was standing next to a blond girl. Is that Ino? He shook his head. No he was definitely drunk. His mind was being irrational, trying to create a reason for her to be here tonight. Even though he knew it was only a delusion, the damage was done. His entire body ached for her.

The longing became too much to bear. She would have to do, even if he had to pretend. If only for tonight, she would be his Sakura.

He stood from the table, and began to cross the packed room. He reached the spot where he had seen her, but she was gone. He carefully scanned the room for any sign of her. Then he spotted her, about twenty feet away on the dance floor. She was dancing with another man, but that wouldn't be a problem. He had stolen women from their dates before. This would be no different.

He carefully slipped between the sea of dancing partners. Moving unnoticed towards the unsuspecting rosette. He continued to close in, victory within his grasp. Then, just ten feet away from his goal, he stopped. From this distance he could see her face clearly, but he couldn't believe his eyes.

Sakura continued to let her new found sense of freedom flow through her. She wrapped her arms around Ken's neck, and didn't object as his hand slid down to rest on her lower back. Their bodies moved together in a display of sensual desire. His hand slid lower, till his fingers were gently tracing her butt. He leaned down and began to trail hot kisses across her ear and neck. As one hand was sliding down, the other was moving up, slowing inching towards her partially exposed chest.

Before his fingers could lay claim on their prize, strong hands violently jerked him away, and sent him flying across the room.

Sakura jerked back and immediately took a fighting stance, prepared to fend off an attacker. What she saw took her breath away. Standing directly in front of her was Kakashi.

Everything came flooding over her all at once. All the love, longing and pain. Tears welled in her eyes, and before she knew what she was doing she flung herself into his arms and began assaulting his masked face with her lips. Her arms wrapped around his neck, and her fingers fisted into his silver locks.

His lips found hers, and desperately clung to her through the thin fabric. His arms locked around around her delicate frame, and hoisted her up, as she wrapped her legs around his waist.

Then, in a puff of smoke they were gone, leaving behind a room full of shocked witnesses.

They reappeared inside Kakashi's apartment, Sakura still clinging to his body. Finally in a private setting, Sakura ripped off his mask, revealing his glorious face. Oh, how she missed seeing it. Her lips forcefully crashed onto his with bruising power. She nipped and sucked on his lower lip, her teeth grazing his skin.

A deep, moan escaped his throat, and she slipped her tongue past his lips and into his warm mouth. Her tongue caressed his as they battled for dominance. Sakura was fierce and unwilling to yield, and in the end Kakashi gave in to her demand.

While Sakura dominated his mouth, Kakashi busied himself with removing her clothes. He grabbed the hem of her shirt and pulled it over her head, only briefly disturbing their kiss. He turned, pressing her back against the wall for support, leaving his hands free to capture her perky breasts. His fingers nimbly kneaded her supple flesh, causing her to moan in pleasure.

She threw her head back and ached her body against the wall. His mouth ravished its way down her neck, and collar bone to her supple mounds. He nipped and sucked on the soft flesh, his tongue teasing her hard bud. She pulled demandingly on his silver spikes, as he lifted her from the wall and moved across the room.

There was a small crash as the contents on the couch were swiped to the floor. Gently he placed her on the soft cushions, and began to trail hot kisses down her stomach. Skillfully, he slid his fingers under the top of her skirt, and began to pull it down at a painfully slow pace. Sakura's body trembled with anticipation, as he did the same with her panties.

He returned his mouth to her soft skin, kissing his way to her womanhood. His hot tongue slipped between her slick folds, as he tasted her sweet core. She moaned out in ecstasy, as he played with her sensitive bud.

He slipped two fingers between her thighs, and began pumping inside of her at a steady rhythm. Sakura's fingers dug into the couch as her pleasure became to much. She threw her head back and her screams filled the air as she reached her release. Her body shuddered as she rode out the wave of pleasure.

Kakashi quickly removed his close, and discarded them on the floor. Re-positioning her on the couch, he hooked her legs around him, as he leaned over her naked body. Sakura could feel his hard length as it pressed against her thigh.

"I need you." Her eyes were begging him to take her. "Please Kakashi."

He positioned himself at her entrance, and gently thrust himself inside her. She felt better than he remembered, and he began thrusting himself deeper. He had to concentrate to keep a steady pace. He didn't want to rush this, no he was going to take his time. He began moving inside of her slow, and deep.

He could feel Sakura's walls begin to tighten around him, and he knew she was reaching her peak. He began moving faster, and harder, pushing all of himself into her. Her breathing became ragged, and with one final thrust, she met her release. Her walls contracted around him, coaxing out his own climax, as he spilled his seed inside her.

He rolled to the side, and sat on the couch, pulling her upright and into his arms. He held her against his chest, both panting too heavily to speak. He wanted to hold her like this forever, to never see her in the arms of another man again. He kissed the top of her head, and smoothed out her matted pink locks. No matter what he wished it could be, he knew that this was only for tonight.
