Tsunade sat silently, drinking in the information of a possible war with the village of Mist. "Go get Shikamaru, Genma, and Neji." Tsunade shot a quick glance at Sasuke and Naruto, and with a solemn nod, they were gone. Tsunade turned her head towards Kakashi and Sakura and as hard as she tried, the worry would not move from her face. "You two are dismissed, we'll send our intelligence team from ANBU to take care of this." And without another word, both Kakashi and Sakura turned and left the room.


Kakashi studied the troubled look on Sakura's face with cold calculation. He slowly put an arm around her and rubbed her shoulder gently, smiling. "Don't worry, Sakura. Everything will be fine! How about some food?" He smiled wider as he saw the slight pink flush that appeared on her face. Without waiting for her answer, he pulled her to a nearby teashop.

The teashop was rather small in size, but what it lacked in size it made up with the warm atmosphere and friendly service. As they were ushered to a table, Kakashi groaned appreciatively as he sat down and quickly pulled down his mask. He opened his mouth as if to reassure Sakura some more until a busty waitress noisily interrupted them.

"Hello, may I help you?" The waitress had her back turned to Sakura and was eyeing Kakashi hungrily. 'Who does this cake faced bitch think she is?' but Sakura remained quiet, barely keeping her thoughts to herself.

"Well, you could help us by giving us some menus to start off with" Kakashi's eyes crinkled as he smiled at the bitc—Sakura? She was surprised to see him brushing off this woman who looked as if she'd go on her knees at that moment to jerk him off.

"Oh, of course! Here you are, let me know if you need anything" smirked the woman, or bitch as Sakura had hastily labeled her as. Kakashi's grin grew wider as he noticed Sakura glowering at the woman and to quell her anger he reached over to brush a few strands of hair away from Sakura's face. His fingers lingered behind her ear, relishing the soft feel of Sakura's hair.

Over the years, Kakashi began noticing that Sakura warded off as many girls from Kakashi and Naruto as they warded off boys from her. He would never admit it to her, but he enjoyed being fought over, even if she was his former student. As she looked through the menu, he watched her every move. She seemed to enrapture him more every day, especially the way she was nibbling her lower lip as she skimmed through the menu. 'This is your former student, Kakashi. Maybe it isn't the best thing. Hell, who am I kidding? Once a pervert, always a pervert' Kakashi smirked as he kept up his dirty thoughts.

"Hey creeper, stop staring at me. Do you know what you're ordering?" Sakura rolled her eyes as she caught Kakashi staring at her. "Well, I thi—" The bitch returned to take their order, facing Kakashi. "What can I get for you?" she asked with a wink. Kakashi looked mildly surprised and he looked at Sakura to let her know that she could order first.

"I'd like the chicken teriyaki combo with the miso soup" Sakura smiled as the bitch stared at Sakura's hand crossing the table to intertwine with Kakashi's. "Honey, are you going to order yet?" Sakura's voice was sickly sweet as she smiled across to Kakashi.

'Two can play at that game, Sakura' Kakashi stared directly at Sakura as he brought her hand up to his lips and placed a chaste kiss upon them. "I'll have the same as the lovely kunoichi." He didn't bother looking up to know that the waitress had rushed off. Kakashi enjoyed the raging blush that had graced Sakura's face, but his enjoyment slipped into shock. Instead of taking her hand away and becoming shy, Sakura had gotten up from her spot and slid next to Kakashi on his side of the booth. She casually began tracing patterns on his arm with her free hand and she could barely conceal her grin. It was driving him insane as the pressure of her hand changed from barely grazing his clothed arm to a full sensual rub; he nearly took her right then when she began nibbling on her lower lip again, the way he liked it.

Sakura glanced up, curious of Kakashi's reaction to her coy flirting. And her lips circled into an "o" as she saw that his normally light grey eyes had darkened into the color of wet slate. She knew that she had overdone it, and in hopes of restoring the previous friendly mood she immediately stopped. "Haha, did you see the look on that bitch's face? Good work, Kakashi, I guess we make a good team on and off missions." She smiled warily and was relieved to see his eyes lighten in color. The food suddenly appeared on their table and before they could look up, the waitress was already gone. "There goes your tip, bitch," muttered Sakura.


In the midst of good food, good company, and good sake, Sakura completely forgot about what had happened between her and Kakashi. They staggered out the door and people watched the stunning pair, one quiet and laughing ninja and one boisterous and loud kunoichi. Sakura grabbed Kakashi's hand as they made their way to her apartment, and to her surprise he laced his fingers with hers. She looked up at him and studied his handsome profile, and without thinking she reached up to trace the barely visible scar on his face. Sakura felt her breathing stop when Kakashi turned to her and caught her hand with his own and stared into her eyes.

'He's going to kiss me.' She tilted her head up and took her lower lip between her teeth. As he leaned in, her eyelids closed halfway. "We're here." Kakashi smiled and pointed to her door as Sakura's jaw dropped.

"UGH, I hate you so much!" Flustered, she pushed him away roughly and began fishing out her key from her pocket. She could hear his soft laughter and she hated herself for the brick red blush that was probably gracing her face right now. She threw a heated glare at him as she opened the door, but before she could step in she felt his hand on her arm.

"Aw, why so mad, Sakura?" his eye crinkled as he smiled down at her.

"Because I thought you were going to—ugh, never mind. It doesn't matter anymore." She was becoming more embarrassed than angry now.

"No, it does matter. Finish your sentence." His smile was slowly disappearing and he began to sound a little more serious than he sounded before.

"Kakashi, just leave. I don't want to embarrass myself anymore; I just thought that maybe you'd ki—l-leave. Now." Sakura looked down, her emotions were in turmoil. She wanted him to kiss her and hold her. She wanted Kakashi to show her that maybe he did care for her more than the other guys, that maybe she was special to him. Sakura knew that this was improbably; Kakashi was one of the most sought after bachelors in Konoha. He wouldn't go for an immature kunoichi when he had most of the female population within his hands, would he?

Sakura began to close the door on him, but was stopped by Kakashi's hand.

"Were you expecting this?" He looked down at her.

Before Sakura could even process his words, Kakashi dipped his head down and pressed his lips against hers. It was a short, sweet kiss but as he drew away, Sakura pulled his face down to hers again. The second kiss was longer and more heated. She felt his tongue slide along her lower lip, asking for entrance, and she eagerly opened her mouth to have a little taste of copy ninja. Sakura led one of her hands to the back of his head and gently pulled at his hair. Her lips curved into a small smile as she heard and felt his growl; her eyes fluttered open momentarily when she felt him suck her lower lip and gently bite on it.

He pulled her closer to him and squeezed her against him. His blood began rushing as he heard her gently moan into his mouth, and he pulled away. He was speechless as he saw the Sakura before him. Her face was flushed and her lips were a bit swollen. She was breathing a little harder than before and her eyes had darkened from a bright, drunk emerald to a darker, exciting green; her eyes were almost black especially since the only light they had was the soft light of a lamp that was further down the street.

"How was that for a first kiss? I'll see you around, Sakura. We wouldn't want to do naughty things we might regret," and with a wink and a poof, Kakashi was gone. She stood there for a few more minutes, taking in what had just happened. As she shut the door, she unconsciously rubbed her lips with her hand and stumbled to her bed. Before she fell asleep she thought of his lips against hers one last time, and how perfectly their lips had molded together.

Kakashi rushed to his shower and soaked himself in the steaming hot water. He shut his eyes as he gripped his erection and began with slow, full pumps. He rubbed his thumb over the tip and let out a short hiss of air. His thoughts went back to the way Sakura bit her lip, the way she moaned into his mouth, and the way she felt against him. His strokes began to increase in pace and he took his other hand and massaged his balls. He thought of how soft her hair was, how dark her eyes became, and how she stuttered before he had kissed her. He could feel his balls tightening as he came closer to his point. He thought of the way she said his name, how she impulsively grabbed his hand, and how she traced patterns on his arm. He grunted as he came and felt his legs shaking a little from the exertion. He slowly began cleaning himself off and walked out of the shower and to the bed. He didn't bother to put on any clothes as he sank into his blankets. His last thoughts before sleeping were of the way she blushed when she got embarrassed, the way she laughed at his corny jokes, and the way her eyes softened up when she wanted to show him that she cared.


Success, finished this before bed again! Ugh, I'm wiped out. I hope you enjoy=) R&R, please ^_^
