"You fucked Kakashi!"

Sakura slapped a hand to her face, slowly dragging it down. She was alone in the lab, save for Ino, who was currently waving a finger at her friend accusingly as she grinned at her proudly. "Ino, shut up!"

"Shut up? Shut up? You had Kakashi's dick in and around your mouth and you know it!"

Sakura's eyes widened as she threw her head back and let out a bark of laughter at her friend's casual statement. "Ino, shut up! You're so loud, someone might hear you."

"Hear me? Honey, please! Everyone already knows. I bet you were the loud one!"

Sakura's face dropped, "What?"

Ino pulled a chair from one table and dragged it behind Sakura's desk. She joined her pink-haired friend and plopped onto it, smirking at her. "Don't act coy with me, Haruno. You were all over each other last night and word travels fast! And behind that abnormally huge," Ino raised a finger and jabbed between Sakura's eyebrows, "forehead of yours, you know it too."

"That's the thing. I don't know it. I don't remember anything." Sakura reasoned, propping her elbows onto the desk and dropping her head into her hands exasperatedly. She was so consumed by worry and concern that she didn't see Ino's expression as she laughed.

"You don't remember anything? You poor thing, I'd hate to forget that fine piece of-"

"How's Genma? Hm?" Sakura cocked an eyebrow as she stared at her friend. Honestly, it was no secret that Ino had a huge thing for the senbon wielding pervert and had been trying for weeks to snag his attention. Apparently, Sakura was too… preoccupied to know if she succeeded.

Ino's bright blue eyes glazed over as she let her head loll back. "We went back to his place…" She trailed off, "Oh Gosh, Sakura. It was the best sex I've ever had. He did this most amazing thing with his tongue when he-"

"Wow, these reports are interesting." Sakura interrupted, her eyes widening in shock at the image that popped into her head. She scrambled to reach for the stack of papers on the desk so she could distract herself from whatever Ino was saying.

Ino continued however, smirking at Sakura's prudish reaction. "He pushed his fingers-"

"Did you know that Ebisu was born with an extra thumb?" Sakura interrupted again, laughing nervously.

Ino's grin only widened, "I screamed so loud that he had to muffle me with-"

"Was that Lady Tsunade? I'm sure it was, I better-"

"Sakura!" Ino said amusement clear in her voice but overpowered by her stern and patronizing expression.

"Yes?" Sakura couldn't help but smile and blow the few stubborn strands of pink hair that refused to be tamed away from her eyes.

Ino crossed her arms over her ample breasts and studied her friend for a moment. "So, you really can't remember anything?"

"Not a thing," Sakura dropped her chin onto her fist and regarded Ino curiously. "What about you? Is there anything you can tell me- asides from your sexcapades?"

A goofy grin crossed Ino's face, one which she tried and failed multiple times to drop. She shrugged at Sakura and sighed, "Well…"

It was 10.30 and Sakura was drunk. Really drunk. So drunk in fact, that she was touching Kakashi. And not the innocent type of touching either- groping was more like it. And had been for about half an hour straight, now.

Ino looked on with a knowing grin before tipping her head back to allow more burning hot liquid slide down her throat. "Genma, get over here!" She cried out drunkenly, looking at Genma with a come-hither smile.

When Genma arrived at Ino's side, he rested a warm hand on her thigh, playing with the hem of her deep blue skirt. Genma leant in, his lips hot and wet against the shell of her ear and she shivered in delight. She glanced at Sakura and Kakashi, no one else had seemed to notice the pair except her.

Sakura's chest was pressing into Kakashi's arm, her breasts practically spilling over the top of her dress, looking bigger than usual-

Sakura glared at Ino distastefully.

-they sat in a huge booth and Sakura's fingers were almost intertwined with Kakashi's between their bodies. Between them, they spoke in hushed tones, whispering dirty things into each other's ears, no doubt. Her other hand rested on his thigh, occasionally trailing up to play with the zipper of his pants. Kakashi's hand slowly caressed from her collar bones, down the side of her breasts, where Ino didn't miss the subtle brush of her nipple-

Sakura groaned and pressed her red face into her hands.

-slowly down to the dip of her waist and then to the hem of her dress. Ino saw Kakashi's hand disappear under her dress and Sakura's head loll to the side before resting on Kakashi's shoulder. Sakura seemed to have done something to Kakashi, because his head tipped back a little, his eyes fluttered shut for the smallest fraction of time and the outline of his masked lips moved. Ino watched for a little longer, not because she cared about what they were doing, but more that if it went any further, Ino would finally see what was under that God forsaken mask. Sakura's hand had disappeared just as Kakashi's had and they were staring at each other in the most intimate of ways-

"This is the worst day of my life." Sakura groaned.

-Ino looked away from the couple to focus her attention to the man at her side as he leant in for a kiss after whispering all the things he was going to do to her tonight into her ear. Ino reached an arm around his neck and fisted her hand into his long brown hair, responding to the kiss fiercely. Their tongues-

"Thanks for that, Ino." Sakura interrupted; her face still red but stoic and showing no other signs of earlier embarrassment. Sakura mulled over Ino's recount of what Sakura had gotten up to last night. Did she really… do that with Kakashi?

"Oh no, thank you. I finally have something interesting to talk about with Shizune for a change!" Ino grinned, throwing her hands up in the air and winking at her friend.

*.*

"You fucked Sakura?"

Kakashi buried his face into his book, resisting the urge to throw it at Genma and break his nose. "Shut up, we don't need everyone knowing, do we?" Kakashi mumbled.

"It's a little late for that don't you think? I'm a little hurt that I found out from Hana Inuzuka and not my best-friend." Genma's bottom lip jutted out into a pout as he stared at Kakashi with wide brown eyes.

"We're friends?"

"My point is that I'm the last to know." Genma dropped onto the couch next to Kakashi, "As usual."

Kakashi sighed and contemplated on his course of action. He could either:

Run away.

Ignore him.

Talk to him.

The first two options grew even more appealing after Genma said, "She's hot. I'm kind of jealous, but then again, Ino was-"

Kakashi snapped his book shut and decided to face the situation at hand. "I don't know if I actually slept with Sakura." He rested the book on his lap and pushed up his hitai-ate, rubbing restlessly at his Sharingan eye. With the situation he woke up in this morning, it was more than enough evidence that they had, in fact, had sex. But if they did, he was sure he'd at least have some recollection of it.

"Bullshit. What do you mean you don't know?" Genma's eyebrows rose as he rolled the end of his senbon between his teeth.

Kakashi sighed and threw his head back so it could rest on the back of the couch. "I mean that I don't know. I don't think I'd forget about that sort of thing, no matter how drunk I was."

Genma nodded thoughtfully. "Well, what do you remember?"

Kakashi shot his perverted friend a side-long glance and clasped his fingers behind his head. "Not much. I remember Naruto challenging me to a drinking competition and then Sakura and Ino came in. I don't remember anything else after that, it's all…" He rubbed his jaw with one hand, "Blank."

Genma's eyebrows rose at his friend's exasperated expression. He'd never seen Kakashi ponder over something like this before, or care about it really. But he supposed it was because it was Sakura. And that shit's complicated. "I guess I can help you out, since you're my best friend," Genma grinned, the senbon in his mouth flashing dangerously.

Kakashi rolled his eyes before pulling his hitai-ate back down to cover his Sharingan.

"I vaguely remember seeing you and Sakura last night, you know, when I wasn't preoccupied of course." He winked.

Kakashi sighed and rolled his eyes a little at his friend's fondness over the memories of Ino from last night, he nodded as a sign to let him continue.

It was ten minutes away from three o'clock in the morning and Kakashi and Sakura were still nowhere to be found. Ino, Kiba, Hinata, Naruto and Neji were the only ones aside from him that remained at Kakashi's house. They sat in the living room; Genma had his arm around Ino's waist as they sat close together on the floor. Naruto had his head resting in Hinata's lap and Neji and Kiba were in a heated discussion about something he didn't care about.

Sakura came in with Kakashi following closely behind her. Too closely-

Genma grinned at the slight frown that donned Kakashi's half hidden face.

-They all sat around Kakashi's living room and when Kiba had proposed they play a game of strip poker, no one objected. So, they sat in a circle for an hour, laughing and taunting each other as the losers took their clothes off. Soon enough, mostly everyone ended up in less than three articles of clothing, their clothes strewn across the room lazily. Everyone except for Hinata.

"You're surprisingly good at this, Hina-chan!" Naruto exclaimed, throwing his cards down in frustration as he grinned at the almost fully clothed kunoichi next to him.

Hinata, more confident and brash due to the effects of alcohol, grinned at him proudly. "Thank you, Naruto-kun."

Genma, though he was currently groping Ino, still kept an eye on Kakashi and Sakura, excited because his best friend hadn't fucked anyone for weeks.

Kakashi rubbed circles around his temple, soothing his brain. Genma was a real idiot.

-The game was over and Kakashi was suddenly way more interested in the lingerie clad kunoichi than anyone else. His fingers were playing with the clasp at the back and occasionally moving up her shoulder to slip his fingers under the strap and pull it, allowing it to snap back against the front of her shoulder lightly. One of her hands was lost under his shirt while the other was fiddling with the zipper of his pants and judging from the way Kakashi let out a growl and dropped his head into the part where her neck met her shoulder- he liked it.

Kakashi shot his friend a sideways glare. Genma was getting way too into his recount of his friend's activities, but he tried to ignore his perverted smirk so he could find out what happened last night with Sakura.

-With Ino in her underwear, Genma couldn't help himself. He dashed over to pick up the clothes he could identify as theirs, he grabbed Ino and threw her over his shoulder, eliciting from her a playful giggle he found so sexy. With a wink at Kakashi, Genma and Ino exited his apartment, both highly intoxicated and clad in nothing but their underwear.

Genma looked at his friend proudly and grinned. "So? Ring a bell?"

Kakashi's nose wrinkled, "Vaguely. But that only explains the clothes."

"Come on, Kakashi. You woke up naked. Together. In your bed. The Kakashi I know wouldn't have let that sort of opportunity slip." Genma rolled the senbon between his teeth again and shrugged.

Kakashi groaned and picked up his book, "Maybe so, but this is Sakura we're talking about." He headed towards the exit of the Jonin standby station. He had to go find Sakura. But what would he say to her when he did? 'Sorry about the sex?''

Regardless, he had to talk to her. They were teammates. Any sort of tension between them could fester if left unattended, and that could not only affect them, but the rest of their team as well. Of course, they had to talk in private. If Genma was right about 'it' getting out, then being together with her wouldn't exactly help put the rumors to rest.

But were they just rumors?

Kakashi decided not to tell Genma his plans for the day; instead he just waved at him with his book and turned to leave. Though his body didn't react to Genma's parting words, his mind certainly imagined himself throwing his book straight at his old friend's nose.

"Tell Sakura I said 'hi.'"

Asshole.
