Sakura swayed with her dress halfway over her head after she heard Kakashi yell from the next room. What the hell? Then she heard the door to her room slam open. Her breath hitched as she saw a pale Kakashi headed towards her. "What are you doing?!" She screeched as she struggled to lower the dress, only managing to cover her eyes. Because before she could cover anymore Kakashi caught her arms and held them above her head. "What in the....."
Her words were silenced by the warmth of his lips. He quickly wrapped his free arm around her waist and pulled her flush against him as his lips attacked. Then he quickly pulled away. "Sakura....I'm not.......Nothing hap...........Sakura?" She had went limp in his arms. "Sakura?" He let her hands go and steadied her against him. He quickly pulled her dress the rest of way off revealing that she had actually passed out.
He frowned. "You gotta be kidding me....." He glanced down and let out a groan. She was lying in his arms in nothing but a black lacy bra and matching thong. He quickly averted his eyes. "Not Good." He muttered as he tried to ignore the feel of her warm skin pressed against him. He practically dropped her onto the bed and fled to the bathroom, slamming the door shut behind him. He leaned against it and let out a strangled sigh. He wasn't about to add banging-a-chick-while-passed-out to his growing list of sexual actions.
His face flushed as images of Paden popped in his head. He now felt ill and dirty. Without wasting any more time he stripped off his clothes and turned the shower spray to hot. He winced as he stepped beneath the almost scolding spray. It may not wash away the horrible memories, but at least he could wash away the feel of that cursed mans touch.
Sakura groaned as she failed to close her locker quietly. Her head felt like a drum being pounded on. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Once again after getting drunk she didn't remember most of last night after getting to the bar. But to her advantage Radin happen to be the first person she saw this morning as she walked in through the employee entrance and happily filled her in on the gruesome details.
She frowned as she thought about how once again she had drank too much and ended up on top of a bar. And even worse, she had once again went home with Kakashi, only this time sex wasn't involved. Well not with her anyways. She slowly squinted her eyes open trying to get them to adjust to the bright light. "That idiot" She muttered under her breath. After all the crap he did last night he had the nerve to show up to rescue her. What right did he have? And who said she wanted to be rescued? Better yet, how come he left before she even woke up this morning?
Her frown deepened. "That dirty old porn reading male hugging pervert is so gonna get it." She muttered. She let out another groan and began to rub her temples. "How many mornings of hell am I gonna have to go through? "
"Quit drinking, that might help." Her boss scowled as she appeared in the doorway. "Hurry it up, your late."
"Yes ma'am." Sakura stood too quickly and had to balance herself against the lockers to keep from falling. If the hangover wasn't gonna kill her, those damn heels were.
"Did you hear the rumor?" Kakashi heard one of his female customers say to another.
"Rumor?" The other woman asked.
Kakashi scowled as he wiped off the bar just feet from them. If he heard one more person talk about 'the girl who danced on the bar last night' he was gonna deck someone.
The woman looked around and then leaned in and lowered her voice. "Well you know the owners son right?"
The other thought for a minute. "You mean Radin."
Kakashi's grip tightened on the rag, just hearing that man's name made his blood boil.
"No" She waved her hand dismissingly. "I mean Paden."
Kakashi's movements stopped as he tried to focus on the conversation. Just hearing that man's name made him feel queasy. But he had to hear this one. He quickly moved a little closer and picked up a glass acting as if he was drying it off to hear them better.
"Paden? No I haven't" The woman smiled. "Tell me"
She giggled. "Well apparently Paden is secretly seeing one of the employees."
The woman's smile faded. "What's so exciting about that?"
The other's smile became mischievous. "It's a male employee."
The woman's gasp and the sound of breaking glass were in complete unison. The women's gaze fell on Kakashi just as he crouched to the floor. How did that rumor get out? It's not like they engaged in anything that would be considered as intercourse. And it wasn't even him it was his stupid clone. He knew that. Nobody else did apparently, including Sakura.
His face paled and he broke into a cold sweat. This wasn't good. She passed out last night before he could tell her and he avoided her this morning because he lost his nerve and wasn't ready to discuss what happened just yet. He thought he could hold off till after work at least. But now, with this rumor going around. "She's gonna skewer me like a pig."
"That's coming out of your paycheck." His supervisor stood over him. "Don't just sit there, clean it up already. We got more customers coming in."
"Yes sir" Kakashi stood up and gathered the broom and dust pan. Quickly sweeping up the mess. Just as he crouched down to sweep it into a dust pan a voice sounded behind that sent a shiver up his spine.
"Well isn't that a nice view."
He shot up and came face to face with the old woman who had attacked him last night. Today her makeup was even thicker and her clothes were even skimpier. He gave a forced smile. "Thanks" He then returned to cleaning up the glass hoping one of the other bartenders would take her.
"Your quite welcome." She grinned. "By the way." She said as she retrieved something from her bag. "Here's your shirt."
He shot up again almost causing the glass to fly from the dustpan. But it was too late, everyone within fifteen feet had heard and were now staring. He cursed behind the smile. "Thanks" He quickly grabbed it from her and walked towards the garbage.
"Aren't you the popular one." His supervisor chuckled.
Kakashi dumped the glass followed by the shirt. "Lucky me" He drawled sarcastically.
"That's gonna come out of your paycheck too you know." His supervisor nodded to the shirt in the garbage can.
"Fine with me." He frowned. After disposing of the broom and dustpan he finally turned his attention on the woman who was still sitting there waiting for his attention. Of course no other bartender would take her after the shirt return incident. He took a deep breath telling himself he could do this and that he's dealt with scarier people than this. Well she was pretty high on the list but not the scariest. "Can I get you something?" He forced another smile.
She again looked him up and down. "How about tonight we finish what we started?"
The corner of his smile twitched. "I'm sorry, but I can't. Last night, it was just a......"
"Here you are mother."
Kakashi looked up as the woman spun around on her chair.
"I told you not to call me that in public Radin."
"Radin chuckled as he took a seat next to her. "Sorry" He then turned his gaze onto a completely stunned Kakashi. "How's it going?" He smirked.
Kakashi looked from the one to the other, the connection between the two slowly sinking in. Suddenly he felt queasy all over again. If he was Radin's mother, then she is also Paden's........ "Uh..." he pointed between the two. "You two are......related?" The whole families crazy!!
"Unfortunately" The woman sighed as she spun back around. "This lazy ass is my son." She turned her gaze onto the man. "Why can't you work harder like your brother?"
Radin just shrugged. "I'll have a whisky and water." He told Kakashi, then he smiled at her. "Anything for you?"
She rolled her eyes. "I'll have a Blood Mary and quit avoiding the subject."
"I'm not avoiding the subject. Your right I should be more like my brother." He glanced at Kakashi who was still standing there half stunned. "What do you think Kakashi?" The chuckle that followed knocked Kakashi from his trance.
He quickly turned to retrieve their drinks. "I have no opinion on the matter."
"Hmm...that's too bad." Radin seemed to be enjoying himself way too much.
"Cherry-Blossom!! Your orders been sitting here for five minutes!" The cranky cook called from the window.
Sakura appeared in the window and narrowed her bloodshot eyes at the man. "I'm getting to it so shut up."
The man returned her glare. "Do your job and I'll shut up. Now move it."
Sakura growled under her breath and grabbed the plate dropping it on her tray. Between her hangover, the customers and the cook, she was about ready to tell the owner to take this job and shove it. Then she could happily go back home and take care of a certain blonde woman.
"Here" She scowled and set the plate in front of the customer and stormed off.
"That's not very professional." A voice caught her attention.
She glanced over her shoulder seeing Paden. "Like I care anymore. This job sucks anyways." She dropped her tray on an empty nearby table before propping her hands on her hips defiantly.
Paden just kept smiling. "Your free to leave anytime." He motioned for the door.
Oh yeah, that offer sounded tempting to her. But then the whole representing-the-village thing was a problem.
"But how about I make you offer instead?" He asked.
She narrowed her eyes. What else could this pervert want? He already got Kakashi. The thought made her anger flare. "I'm not interested." She hissed.
"Really?" He raised a questioning brow. "Even if I got you out of this restaurant?"
Damn. He peeked her interest. She stared at him for a moment, trying to break that image from her mind of him holding a whip. She had to bite her cheek just to keep from saying anything to him about the incident. Cause that look on his face told her he was waiting for it.
"CHERRY BLOSSOM!!"
She flinched as the cook screamed again. "Oh shut up already!" She spat back.
"Girl if you don't shape up....." The man pointed at her through the window.
Sakura growled and gritted her teeth. Then looked back at Paden. "What you got in mind?"
Kakashi felt dizzy. This day just kept getting worse and worse. The mother-son combo have been sitting here doing nothing but drinking and bickering for a half hour. And still, his biggest worry was how long it was gonna take for Paden to get there. He's been debating sneaking out now for about ten minutes. Hell he'd fake dying if it got him out of this bar. He instead looked at the clock and groaned when it didn't even read twelve yet.
"Well" Radin said as he set his empty glass. "As much as I love our little chats, I have things to do."
"Oh good your finally leaving" His mother stated as he stood from his stool.
Kakashi rolled his eyes, but was happy nonetheless, one pain was leaving. If he'd only take her with him that would be even better.
"Now this young man and I can finish discussing our plans." She winked at Kakashi.
Radin turned a raised brow on him. "Plans?"
That's it. Mark it down, it was on this day that Kakashi Hatake seized to function from an overload of embarrassment and misunderstandings. "............"
"Yes plans" His mother said. "We have unfinished business from last night."
"Last night?" Radin cracked a smile taking his seat again. "What happened last night?"
"Nothing...." Kakashi frowned muttering the simple word and turned walking away.
"It's none of your business. Now leave already." His mother scolded him.
"I'm leaving." Kakashi said to his supervisor. "I think I'll stop by the therapist before my heart stops." He muttered to his now confused looking boss.
Radin put his hands up. "Alright, I get it, I'll leave." He stood up again and headed for the door.
But a few steps away he glanced over his shoulder. "Hey Kakashi.." Kakashi was just stumbling out the employee door when he stopped. "I'd thought I'd stop and say hi to Sakura, I'll tell her you won't be staying at the cabin tonight." He chuckled. "Maybe I'll go keep her company."
Well that got his attention. He spun around anger flaring in eyes. Enough was enough. He was the great copy-in after all. Not some moron who...his situation with Sakura came to mind...... Ok not some push over.....his memories from last night made his stomach churn..... He growled. The point was he wasn't gonna take this anymore. In a split second he leaped over the bar and was headed for the door.
"Where are you going?" Three voices called in unison. The woman, his Supervisor and Radin.
Kakashi spun around, his last nerve and last ounce of control hanging by a thread. "I'm gonna go and have tons of sex." He said throwing his hands in the air. "Great sex with a young, beautiful, hot, sexy woman, with a great ass and nice tits." He had the whole bars attention now. "Sure in the hell not with you" he motioned to the older woman who gasped at his words. "And not with a man" He gritted his teeth at the thought. "No, with a real hot blooded sexy little....."
"Aren't you making an ass out of yourself?" A angry voice growled from behind him. "Might as well throw the whole making-an-image-for-the-village thing out the window now don't you think." Kakashi turned around just in time to see Sakura motion to the patrons of the bar. "I'm mean you're putting on one hell of a show."
Paden who was standing beside her chuckled as he looked at his brother. "Looks like I missed all the fun."
"Shut up!" The two angered shinobi yelled in unison sending a glare at the man.
Sakura then glared at Kakashi. "That's it. I'm done." She clenched her fists in front of her holding back from attacking him out right. "I'm going home!" She screamed.
But Kakashi wasn't gonna hear of that. "No you're not." He got behind her quickly and grabbed her.
"You think you can stop me." She struggled in his grasp.
"You're damn right." His grip tightened. "We need to talk."
"Like hell!" She said and brought her head back cracking him the nose. Successfully making him drop his hold. She then spun around. "Hands Off!" She got him in the gut with a powerful punch that sent him flying across the bar, crashing through tables and chairs and then right through the bar itself. Wood crashed and glass shattering, women screamed and the people quickly scurried from the bar and the bartenders ducked for cover. Radin and Paden stepping off out the way, slightly shocked to see the scene.
He coughed as stumbled to his feet. "Not bad in heels" He found his footing. "But not enough." He reached for his eye patch. "Don't make me get serious Sakura." He warned.
But she held her ground. "Try me." She hissed.
"WHAT IN THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?!" A man's voice echoed. Taku Kinsuki stood at the entrance of the bar, shock written all over his face as he glanced around the bar. His jaw tensed as he saw Kakashi and Sakura. "You two..." He ground out as he pointed down the hallway. "My office, now!"
Come midnight, the door to the cabin creaked open slowly, two tried, cranky shinobi stumbled in. There once new white uniforms covered in dirt, sweat and grease. "It's your fault." Sakura muttered.
"Yeah" Kakashi muttered back as they trudged towards the couch. "You said that already."
They both slumped onto the couch and laid their heads back. "Well it's true. You started it."
"You said that too."
She turned her head to face him frowning. "And your still not denying it."
He let out a sigh. "Nope"
Her frown deepened as she turned her gaze back to the slow turning ceiling fan. "You're not gonna deny anything?"
"Wait? We're on talking terms now. Not just nagging terms."
"Nagging terms!" Her head shot up. "You stupid jerk!"
Kakashi laughed and used the little strength he had left to sit up. "Yeah, you called me that too."
"Well it's true!" She crossed her arms over her chest.
"Uh-huh." He smirked running his hand through his now greasy hair. "You're right"
She growled under her breath. "Would you get mad already!?"
"Nope" He muttered as he attempted to get off the couch but failed. He sat back again and sighed. "What I want to do is take a shower and go to sleep." He looked at her for the first all night. "You should sleep on the couch and let me have the bed tonight."
Her eyes widened. "You can't be serious?"
"Why not? I'm older and your captain, I should get the bed." He paused then smirked. "Or we can share the bed?"
It was her turn to laugh. "Think again grandpa...."
"Grandpa??..."
".....age or status don't matter here." She reached over and poked him in the chest. "We're both good for nothing lap dogs now. No thanks to you of course. And not only that we owe more money for destroying the bar, so now we're stuck here longer. And to top it off I finally got out of that stupid restaurant."
"Grandpa??" He repeated not caring of what she said or that she even poked him. "That's not what you called me less than a week ago." He cracked a smile beneath his mask.
Sakura went wide-eyed and a faint blush covered her cheeks. "Yeah well....that doesn't count since I can't remember."
"Want me to refresh your memory?" He chuckled.
She stared at him in disbelief. "I can't believe you find this funny." She eyed him for a moment. " You have been acting strange all day. Don't tell me having sex with a man made you change that much."
The smirk on Kakashi's face was wiped away and he glared at her. "The only problem with that theory 'honey' is that I didn't have sex with a man."
Honey? Now she looked at him skeptical. "Oh really? So it wasn't you I saw chained to the wall?"
He rolled his eyes, sighed and leaned his head back on the couch once again. "No, actually it was my clone. 'I' was following you around as you fawned all over that idiot Radin. Then I got attacked by a sex crazed older woman, who turned out to be the duo perverts' mother I might add. I barely escaped her death match, losing my shirt in the process. Then I tracked you down at the bar, and got mobbed on the way there. But I just missed you, though I did hear all about 'your little show'. After that I found you passed out alone in a room with a man who was about ready to attack you. I then hauled you all the way back here and dropped you in bed." He took a deep breath letting it out slowly. "Happy?"
Sakura blinked a few times. Blushed. Then leaned back to stare at the ceiling fan. "Oh" She whispered.
"You're welcome" He frowned.
Well now didn't she feel like an idiot. "So.....Then that means.....You were worried about me?"
He was silent for a moment before he answered. "I guess you could say that."
She turned her head towards him, taking in his tired profile. "Thanks Kakashi."
The room fell silent. After a few minutes he let out another sigh. "So...."
"Yeah?" She turned her gaze back to the ceiling. Her eyes went wide as his hand to rest on her thigh.
"Can we have sex now?"
She was shocked for only moment, but a smile crossed her face. She lifted his hand and dropped it on the couch. "Go to hell."
He turned his head towards her and smiled. "Does that mean yes?"
She laughed as she sat up. "Nope"
He struggled slightly but sat up. "Then does that mean yes?"
She tried once to stand, holding back her smile. "No" She stood on the second try.
"Then does that mean no?"
She couldn't help it, she had to laugh. "Yes" She yelped when he grabbed her arm pulling her down onto his lap.
"Does that mean yes?" He wrapped his arms tight around her waist
"No" She pushed against him and laughed. "I thought you just wanted a shower and sleep." She said still struggling.
He nuzzled her neck. "I lied" he murmured against her skin.
"Kakashi...." Sakura tried for a warning tone, her struggling becoming less and less.
He grazed her neck with his cloth covered lips. "Sakura" He countered in a low husky voice. "It's too late to argue. You owe me."
"Owe you?" She breathed, as her struggling came to a stop. Her eyes fluttered shut and she titled her head, taking in his touch. "For what?
He took this chance to lower his mask and finally, after so long, feel her soft skin against his lips as he kissed his way up her neck. "For that punch in the gut earlier."
She let out a soft moan. "You deserved it." She breathed. His hand came up to the nape of her neck, his fingers entangled in her hair as he turned her head to capture her lips.
The kiss started slow, turning raw and rough. Both not able to get enough. Finally they parted and stared at each other, both softly panting for air. Kakashi smiled then laid his back with a sigh. "Ok now I'm ready for a shower and sleep."
He grunted in pain as her elbow met his abdomen and she stumbled from his lap. "I'm kidding." he groaned, one hand on his stomach and the other reaching for her.
But she side stepped him and headed for the bedroom. "I'm taking a shower." She threw over her shoulder.
"Sakura wait..." He called trying to move from the couch. "Come on I was joking."
"Goodnight Grandpa." She smirked before closing the bedroom.
"Damn it" He cursed as his tired legs gave out on him again, hearing her laugh from the bedroom wasn't helping him any. "Just wait till I get off this couch....."
She opened the bedroom door laughing. "I'll be on my way to work tomorrow by the time that happens."
"I doubt that" He said through clenched teeth as he gave himself another boost, this time he made it to his feet. He turned stumbled, then found his footing. "Believe me, after I'm done with you, you're the one that won't be able to stand."
She smiled and leaned against the doorway. "Oh yeah? You're not moving very quickly are you?" He frowned as he tried to get his legs to move. "Would you like a cane?" She mused.
He cracked a smile "Haha, aren't you the comedian tonight?"
She laughed as she watched him struggle, then finally he plopped to couch defeated. "Forget it" He mumbled.
She strolled to the back of couch and leaned over it. Staring down at him. "Giving up already?" She smirked.
He lifted his head and frowned at her. "Not a chance" Before she knew it he grabbed her pulling her over the couch and somehow managing to pin her beneath him.
She raised a brow at him. "You can't walk but you can do this?"
He smiled down at her. "When you can't catch the prey, make the prey come to you."
