"So how did you end up here?" Kakashi asked as he swilled his drink in his glass. Now sitting opposite Hinata in the more normal setting of a bar round the corner from the club, he could see her properly. Her features hardened - only slightly - by the events of the last year. Her hair, rather than drowning her face, framed nicely as she loosely clipped half of it up with a few loose tendrils tumbling either side. Dressed in skinny dark blue jeans, a simple black vest top and heels she could have passed for a supermodel.

As she talked he found himself missing half her answer as he watched her lips move, studying the way the edges of her mouth curled into a small smile when she was relaxed. Her skin looked soft and retained its youth-like complexion, it was easy for him to forget she was the same age as Sakura seeing her in this setting. She looked so at ease, fingers delicately holding her wine glass and occasionally nodding in greeting to people that passed.
"... So I had no money and no-where to live and one of the girls from the club noticed I had a good body so told me to go and audition. I was so nervous I must have walked out ten times whilst I was waiting but I needed a job and I didn't have any experience of 'the real world' so no-one would employ me..." Her voice washed over his as she spoke, delicate but strong at the same time. He felt himself falling repeatedly only to be caught by her words. He shook his head trying bring himself back to earth - she was pouring her heart out and he wasn't even listening.

"Err, are you ok...?" She asked, stopping mid-sentence. She'd noticed he'd been acting odd since their time at the club. Maybe she was a bit harsh, deliberately playing up and being as sexy as possible just to wind him up. But the more she did it the harder she found it to stop. The sight of him getting so turned on was driving her to try harder. She wanted to see him completely lost in her...

"Oh. Oh no I'm fine sorry, the drink must be going to my head." He put the glass on the bar and turned to face her. "But why did you need to go so far away? I know what happened, but you had everyone there to support-"

She cut him off by gently taking his hand, it sent a shock of electricity through him and made him feel uneasy. Moulding his hand into a fist she cocooned it within her own so she was totally covering it.

"Ok - your hand right now. Can you move it?" He tried to but shook his head. She loosened her hands slightly "how about now" he was able to shake it slightly but his fingers were still trapped in a fist. Slowly she moved her hands away and looked at him."How about now..." He opened his hand and wiggled his fingers. "You see why I had to do it now? The same things that protect you can stop you growing - or even mould you into what they want. Take that away and you have complete control."

She looked down at the floor only briefly before running her fingers through the front of her hair and looking him in the eye. It was almost as if that one demonstration explained everything. She looked so strong yet so fragile at the same time, he started to move his hand up to her cheek but stopped himself midway and ran his hand through his hair, before ruffling it and downing the last of his drink. 'Well this just got a lot more difficult!' He thought before realising he'd not said anything in a while.

"Ok, so that makes more sense." He paused before continuing. "I can't force you to come back, you're right about that. But there are people there who miss you, who really need you back, and would do anything for that to happen. I'll give you a night or two to think before I decide my next move. In the meantime, would you like another drink?" He smiled gently and cocked his head slightly to the side waiting for her answer. He really wanted to bring up Naruto but it was too soon. If she ran it would take months to find her again. She smiled softly and nodded "I'd love another drink thank you."

A few hours - and many drinks - later they were both swapping stories about the old days, and she was catching up with the gossip from since she left. Hearing about everyone left her with a warm feeling inside - possibly helped by the alcohol in her system - but she was also enjoying spending time with Kakashi. Swaying slightly she went to move her leg onto the rung on her stool, mis-judged it and almost slipped. Kakashi moved quickly and caught her before she fell, gently guiding her back onto the seat. They both began giggling like schoolchildren but he didn't let go, just held her arm gently, her skin tingling slightly under his touch.

She remembered how he looked earlier, on the verge of being completely overcome with lust, and how much she'd enjoyed being the one to bring him there. Her lips parted slightly and she tightened her grip on his leg, as he lightly stroked her skin with his finger. No-one dared to move, unsure of where this was going to go but not wanting ruin the moment.

The noise from a fight in the corner of the room bought them back to reality and she looked at the ground before shaking her head and moving her hand back to her side. Her body was pulsating as she looked at him and smiled. "So, err. One more drink? For good luck?" She turned to face the bartender and waved her money in the air.

Kakashi studied her from the side - her profile looking amazing against the lights in the background. He saw the curve of her lips, of her back, of her breasts... Fighting every urge he had he got up. "Just popping to the little boys room" he said before making his way across the club and trying to find the restrooms. After 5 minutes he found them and in the safety of the cubicle leant against the ply board wall and put his head in his hands. 'Come on Kakashi, get a grip. Don't forget why you're here' but the stirring in his jeans made it hard to remember. He rubbed his forehead and stood up, relieved himself then stood in front of the mirror. He ran his hands in the cold water and splashed some over his face. 'Ok, you can't trust yourself. Make your excuses and leave. This is too wrong. What would Naruto do if he knew...?' He took a deep breath and left the restroom to see Hinata wandering down the corridor towards him. "What are you doing here? Is everything alright?" Swaying slightly she threw her hands in the air in mock anger. "You left me at the bar alone for AGES! Do you know how many other men I needed to fight off? You know all this doesn't go unnoticed" she waved her hand up and down her body and popped her hand on her hip striking a pose before giggling and standing straight again. She smirked and stared at him waiting for an answer.
"Well they could be better signposted..." He answer shrugging his shoulders. "Anyway I better go, it's been a long day and..."
"NO! Come on, come and dance. At least one song, you did almost get me fired" she grabbed his hand and started to lead him back to the dance floor but he pulled back on her in protest and she sprang back towards him. "No Hinata, I really need to go. This- well it's - it's awkward-"

He was interrupted by her placing her finger softly on his lips. "I told you my name's not that anymore..." Her face was inches from his, eyes were soft and face flushed. Kakashi moved his hand to her face and pulled her closer, their lips millimetres apart. Electricity passed between them as they both waited on the edge of something, like a firework set to explode but neither of them wanting to set it alight. Their breathing was heavy but matched in tempo, their chests moving in unison as they felt the heat from each other's bodies, then he felt her soft lips on his.

Gently at first, then with more urgency. She moved her hands to his hair and he reciprocated pulling her closer, the desperation obvious from them both. She manoeuvred herself against the wall and he pushed against her, pinning her and bringing her leg up so he could take hold of her pert butt he'd been perving over all evening. He grabbed it firmly and she moaned gently into his mouth. "Oh god Kakashi..." Hearing her purr his name drove him crazy, he moved his hand to slide down her jeans gently cupping her womanhood through her panties. He could feel her getting damp already, so he gently teased her clit through the soft fabric. She softly kissed down his neck before burying her head into his shoulder, biting the fabric of his top to stifle her growing moans. He sped up his movements as her knees began to buckle. She pushed back against the wall to support herself as his spare hand snaked its way up her top, into her lacy bra and exposed her hardened nipple before teasing it. "Oh fuck, oh fuck" she drawled as he kept playing with her and she felt the tension growing in her stomach. "This is for earlier" he slurred nuzzling on her ear before nipping at it with his teeth. Hearing his heavy breathing and feeling his rock hard cock through his jeans was almost enough to send her over the edge. "Come on baby, stop holding back" he pushed himself closer to her so she could feel him throbbing, all she wanted was for him to be inside her. The thought if him sliding between her legs left her weak, and about to go over the edge...

"Hey. You two. What do you think you're playing at, this isn't that sort of club. Now fuck off and get a room" They both turned to face the doorman standing down the other end of the corridor shining his flashlight on them. Sheepishly they both moved apart and she straightened herself up as they mumbled an apology. Kakashi's hair was mussed up and his back already covered in red marks from her nails. There was no way she could leave this here.

"So, you sorted out a place to stay yet?
