I know I promised update during the weekend but better now then never? Sorry :(
Anyway enjoy the new chapter :)
The night was cold as the rain started falling just few minutes after they sat down to eat. The dinner was as rich and tasty as on the first night and Sakura and Ino were starting to wonder if their bodies will be able to handle all the food they were stuffing themselves with. Being a kunoichi had its perks, nicely formed body, but this eating schedule would destroy that within few weeks. Sakura kept wondering how is Ayako keeping her good figure if she eats like this every day.
The food was taken away as no one was able to move from the amount of food they were trying to digest at this precise moment. They were listening to Kotone play another music instrument and Izumi dancing to its tune. The dinner was a bit quieter. At least that is how Sakura perceived it. Kakashi refused to speak to her since the little Genma incident in the bath. If she didn't have a plan already in her head to make him suffer tonight she might get angry at him for not speaking with her. There was just small chit-chat from Ayako and Kaori. What is she still doing here? At least she stilled her attacks on Kakashi.
Of course Ino wouldn't shut up about the food and everything that might have come in contact with her oh so sexy Sabaku. There was really no talking to her once she sets eyes on a new object. It was actually lucky or else she would be in Sakura's face most of the day demanding all sorts of private, intimate information about her and Kakashi. This way she at least didn't have to deal with that.
Sakura's eyes moved to Ino in her light blue kimono and remembered one shop in town.
"Ayako-san? May I ask something?" Sakura directed her gaze to Ayako.
"Sure Sakura-san."
"I noticed a shop in the nearby town full of kimonos. Is it where you got these?" She asked while stroking the luxurious fabric of her light pink kimono with her hand.
Ayako smiled and her eyes clouded a bit with memories. "Ah, you saw the shop. It actually belongs to me."
They all looked surprised at Ayako while she continued her explanation.
"Since I was little I liked pretty fabrics and I admired the patterns that people would come up with to sew on the kimono. I started to collect them and every time father went away or uncle came to visit they brought me a kimono or a fabric. Since that time I had such a huge collection that I decided to either sell them or rent them out to towns people and to guests staying here. Not long after I opened the shop it became quite popular and even people from far away towns came to buy them. I seem to have a knack at finding the right kimono for the right person. It really makes me happy when those marvelous fabrics find a person to take care of them." The last sentence was said in a more hushed voice as she realized what she said. A small blush appeared on her face she put her hand in front of her mouth and let out a small nervous laugh.
"Don't mind my rumbling. I tend to get carried away when I talk about the shop."
"It's okay. It's the same with me and medicine. Once I start there is no stopping me." Sakura tried to make her feel less awkward and was rewarded with a smile from Ayako. She creased her eyes and Sakura though that maybe Kakashi does look like her under that mask. It really seems there is a family resemblance after all. Well I'll see that soon enough. Sakura chuckled a bit at that thought and noticed that Kakashi narrowed his eye at her. She had a sudden childish urge to stick her tongue out at him but she overcame that need and just settled with a slight I-know-something-that-you-don't-know smirk.
Not long after that Kakashi excused himself from the company under the pretence of being tired. Sakura had a feeling that he was just afraid she might take the towels away again. It's not the towels this time Kakashi.
She gave him thirty minutes before leaving the others and joining Kakashi in their room. It was dark and the only light was coming from the bedroom where Kakashi was reading his book and once again ignoring Sakura. She just took her yukata that she was using for sleeping and left for the bathroom.
When she came out fifteen minutes later the room was still illuminated by the small bed lamp but Kakashi was pretending to be asleep with his eyes closed and turned to one side.
"Don't tell me you are already asleep." It was more of a statement than a question.
Kakashi didn't move just answered and a pout could be heard in his voice. "Old people need their sleep."
"Too bad that you are so tired. I thought you will want your reward from the morning bet." With exaggerated sigh she turned to leave when she noticed that Kakashi cracked one eye open, even just a little. When he remembered that he promised himself he wouldn't give her anything tonight he forced his eye to close. One could say that it took more than a one man's strength as he saw what Sakura was wearing. From what he could see she had a very nice red lacy lingerie. Thank kami he had just a small view of her. If he opened his eye fully he wouldn't be able to resist ogling her.
Why is she doing this? Just go to sleep and ignore her. That's what he kept telling himself as she started talking again.
"I'm sorry girls. It seems he is too sleepy to play with us. "
Huh? Girls? Whaaa? Kakashi opened his eyes and stared at three half naked women right in front of him. All of them had identical pink hair and were dressed in the same sexy underwear that did unbelievable things with their breasts. Did I manage to fall asleep? Or am I really seeing three times Sakura with a cute pout on their lips?
"Kage bunshin?"
"How else did you want to do the page 95?" Sakura smirked. Three times. "It's a shame that you are so tired, but don't worry, we will be real quiet." With that said the other two Sakuras smiled and went to caress the middle Sakura.
Kakashi gritted his teeth as he was forced to admit defeat. This is not fair. Not fair at all. When did she become so evil? One half naked Sakura is quite enough but three at the same time? I thought she was joking about that scene from the book.
"Sakura?" Kakashi said as he sat up in the bed.
"Hm?"
"I'm kind of awake now." Real classy and not lame at all. His inner voice was dripping with sarcasm.
"Oh, sorry. Would you like to join us?" The middle Sakura asked with a fake surprise and innocence in her tone.
"Well if you insist..." His eye creased in a smile, trying to look innocent. Really pathetic.
The three pinkettes looked at each other and the middle one smiled a devilish smile and nodded at her two doubles. The two of them turned to him and one started to crawl on the bed and sat on his feet and started to run her hands up and down his thighs. The other walked to the side of the bed and went to sit down behind his back to snake her hands around his shoulders and down his chest.
"I'm happy that you're feeling all refreshed." The middle Sakura came closer to Kakashi and sat in his lap, effectively straddling him. "This wouldn't have been fun if you were asleep."
"I can imagine." Kakashi smiled and moved closer to kiss the Sakura that was currently sitting in his lap. She stopped him by pressing her finger to his lips. She smiled and awfully innocent smile that never meant anything good. He almost managed to escape when the sitting-in-his-lap Sakura exclaimed a loud command of "Now!"
He found that the Sakura on his legs and Sakura behind his back had an iron grip on his body. He tried to struggle and get free but even though her chakra was divided by three it was enough for them to release just enough chakra to effectively keep him seated and in their mercy.
"What are you doing Sakura?" He tried to use his teaching voice that used to work on them when they were young genin. The authoritarian and serious voice he used while in command. Lesser men knew when he used this voice there was no arguing with him and no one dared to defy him at that moment.
Sakura almost wavered in the execution of her plan. Almost. He was the one who cheated in the morning not her. She so deserved to see his face after all these years.
"You know. We had a bet this morning."
"Yes we did and I won if my memory serves me right."
"You really must be getting old because you seem to forget that you cheated to get your victory. Therefore I won."
"That is just your point of view, isn't it?"
"You so cheated so don't try to worm out of this." Sakura said as she jabbed him in the chest with her finger.
Kakashi tried again to pull out his limbs to get all three Sakuras off of him but he stilled when he saw Sakura's hands move up to his mask. She hooked her finger behind the mask but didn't start pulling it down. She kept looking in his eyes. Is that hesitation in her eyes?
Her shoulders slouched a little and two popping sounds could be heard as Sakura dispelled her doubles. Kakashi leaned back on his freed hands and waited for Sakura to decide what she wants to do.
Sakura wasn't sure what to do. It was fun until now, but the mood got a bit too serious. Who was she to impose on him this way? For all those years she has known him she never saw him without his mask. Not even in the hospital. Is this really alright?
She had her fingers still hooked behind the fabric but Kakashi didn't make a move to stop her. Is he giving me a permission to look? She audibly gulped when she noticed her suddenly dry mouth. She licked her dry lips and moved her other hand up to his face and hooked her fingers behind the mask to pull it evenly down.
Unknowingly she held her breath as she torturingly slowly pulled it down. She let it out the moment the mask was pooled around his neck. She had to blink few times to realize that she was really seeing the whole face of Hatake Kakashi. Taking a few moments to study his face she moved her fingers about his cheek, and jaw. He was a good looking man. Not ugly, not hansom but a fine looking man. He had symmetrical face, straight nose and no fish lips or buck teeth to be seen.
Kakashi always liked to look at the faces of people who saw him for the first time. Sakura's face was all serious, just like when she switched to medic-mode. Her eyebrows slightly furrowed but her lips instead of being pressed into a thin line were slightly open.
"Why so serious?" Kakashi broke the silence after few minutes.
Her eyes never left his lips as she smiled. "No buck teeth. Naruto owes me a lot of money. I think I'm rich now."
"You still had that bet going?" Kakashi asked and smiled.
If Sakura was standing she might have fallen down as her knees turned to goo. I'm taking back the not hansom part. He is damn right gorgeous. His smile brightened his whole face and made him seem younger than he really was. Well it was more of a smirk than a smile, nevertheless she felt warmth move to her cheeks as a small blush appeared on her face and her jaw dropped a little.
Kakashi chuckled at the anticipated reaction. Most people reacted this way when they saw him smile without his mask. It never ceased to entertain him just how much a small smile could influence others.
Her hands still haven't left his face as she looked up to his eyes. She moved her fingers to his scar. He had his sharingan eye closed. She traced her fingers along the scar from his brow to middle of his cheek.
"Does it hurt?" Sakura asked silently. She knew just a little bit about the scar, from medical records she knew the facts but the story behind it was still a mystery.
"Sometimes." Kakashi answered truthfully.
Her fingers turned green and she let some of her healing chakra into the surrounding tissue to ease some of the tension from the formed scar.
Kakashi closed his eye as he felt her chakra enter his skin. It was tingling and soothing and not tickling like before. He furrowed his bow in realization that she really did it intentionally. He always thought it was just a reaction on her unique chakra. Different medic, different chakra, different feeling. She interpreted his expression wrongly and quickly removed her hand from his face.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have... I should have asked."
"You do it on purpose." Kakashi opened his eye and pouted a little.
"What? No. Yes.. sorry. I tend to switch to medic-mode automatically."
"That's not what I meant but this was quite nice actually. What I meant was the tickling."
Sakura immediately blushed and tried to stand up. Kakashi quickly grabbed her hips and pushed her back into his lap.
"I don't know what are you talking about." She tried weakly, with not much conviction in her voice and turned her face sideways and crossed her arm in front of her.
"Sakura, why have you been systematically torturing me all this time while healing me?" Kakashi pushed further wanting to get and answer from her. He really felt betrayed. For most part of the last decade it was Sakura who was doing the healing on him and it seemed she was intentionally tickling him.
"..." The silence dragged on.
"Fine." Sakura broke the silence when she realized that Kakashi isn't going to let it go. "You were being stubborn ass once again about not going to the hospital and I was so angry I wanted to punch you. But that would probably kill you so instead I pushed more chakra than was necessary but not into the wound but onto the surface of my hands. I knew there was something different about it and when I tried it on my hand I realized how ticklish it is."
"Okay. I get it that you were angry at that time but what about all those other treatments during the years? Was it really necessary?"
"Well the second time I wanted to try it again and since you refused to laugh I tried it again and again and then it became a habit. If you laughed or giggled I would have stopped. Seems you always had a coughing fit instead." She winked at him and as she was smiling like a mischievous child.
"Unbelievable. Is this a way to treat your seniors?"
"Yes." She could be as bullheaded as him.
He grabbed her by her waist and turned them to the side, effectively lying on top of her and between her legs.
"I should teach you some respect young lady." Kakashi smirked and Sakura once again blushed like a schoolgirl.
He moved closer and Sakura closed her eyes waiting for his lips to press on hers. To her surprise she felt him bite on her earlobe with his lips. Kakashi started to move kissing her and teasing her with his teeth. Going from her earlobe to her jaw. As he found one particularly sensitive spot Sakura bucked her hips in response and let out a quiet sigh. He moved his hand on her side squeezing her thigh. Once he kissed the corner of her mouth she waited for him to kiss her but instead he moved to her other ear and started the same process. Moving his hand along her inner thigh he brushed her sensitive skin and it sent shivers down her spine and she could feel heat pooling between her thighs. As he moved once again up her jaw line to her mouth he stopped and went on to kiss her neck. It was driving her crazy. She sank her fingers into his back as she tried to make him do something else than tease her. Pushing her legs up and around his body she pushed him more into her to feel more of his warmth. The need for him was building inside her stomach. She wanted to feel his lips on hers, to feel his touch on her body.
Sakura felt him move from her neck back to her face. She felt his warm breath on her lisp, waiting for the touch of his lips. When she didn't feel him move she opened her eyes just to see him pull away and smirk at her confused look.
"Good night, Sakura-chan." Was the last thing she heard accompanied by a chuckle. The last thing she saw was the slowly spinning tomoe in Kakashi's sharingan.
The last thing she thought as she was put to sleep by the one and only Copy-nin was - This is sooo not what I planned.
I had a different plan with this chapter but it kind of changed itself. There was supposed to be some lemony goodness at the end but I thought this would be more appropriate reaction from Kakashi :)
Don't worry there will be some lemonade, if you want it that is.
So don't forget to review! Feedback is always appreciated :) So thanks to all who reviewed!
