Sakura opened her eyes as the sunlight shot through the blinds. She shifted until she was pressed up against Kakashi and wrapped her arm around his waist, pulling him closer. She smiled when she felt him move and nuzzle his face in her hair. "Get up, lazy bones." She snaked her leg through his as she pulled the covers down, exposing them to the cold air. Laughing, Sakura felt him mumble incoherently as he searched for the blankets and finally sat up right.
Kakashi grumbled to himself when Sakura pulled away the covers. He hated the cold air, but sat up reluctantly and gazed at his lover. She was lying down, hair sprawled out along her blanket and she looked devastatingly beautiful. Pulling his hair, he grinned sheepishly at her and bent over to peck her on the forehead. "I call shower first, Pinky," and before Sakura could protest, he was up and out of bed. He cringed as he heard her call out "nice ass!"
Sakura sat up in bed as she heard the shower going. She looked around with interest at the great Hatake Kakashi's bedroom, and was a bit taken back with the plainness. She knew that he was a simple man, but this was going a bit extreme. There was the bed, a chair, a barely-there closet, and a small table with his porn. Dismayed, Sakura got up and entered his bathroom. She smiled as she saw him glance up, startled.
He was surprised when she came into the bathroom; naked as the day she was born. His surprise was quickly forgotten when she entered the shower, snaking her arms around his waist. Kakashi smiled and wrapped his arms around her, pulling her in for a deep kiss. He tensed as he felt her hands trail downwards; he let out a hiss as he felt her dainty hands wrap around his length. Burying his face into her bright pink hair, he let out a small moan.
Sakura smiled as she heard him moan and moved her hands faster. Her triumph was short lived as she felt him push her against the wall and grind his erection near her entrance. Moaning, she felt him slide his dick along her wet folds, creating friction. "Stop being such a damn tease," Sakura moaned. She was frustrated when she felt his chest vibrate from his chuckle, and pulled back to glare at him. Jumping onto him, she grinned at the shock in his face.
"Sakura, don't do that! The floor is slippery, and you could have killed us both!" Kakashi's voice was stern as he scolded the slippery kunoichi in his arms.
Without closing her eyes or breaking their stare, Sakura leaned in to capture his lower lip between her teeth. As she pulled it back, she lowered herself onto him, and let go when she felt him enter her completely. They threw their heads back in pleasure as they felt each other. She had never felt him fill her in so deeply, and she relished every second. Sakura gasped out as she felt Kakashi pull out and push in so quickly that she didn't even have a break.
He began slamming into her and watched as she pushed her head against the shower wall. The hot water made it harder for the both of them to breath as they began their breathy moans. Kakashi slid a hand up to her breast and squeezed hard before trailing up to her mouth. Inserting a finger, he moaned as he saw her quickly wrap her lips around it and felt her give it a hard suck. He could feel her coming close as she began to moan louder and tighten every now and then.
She moaned, but in frustration, as he slowed his pace down considerably. Opening her eyes, Sakura bit her lip as she saw Kakashi in fierce concentration. He was staring at the point they made contact and she watched as he took his finger from her mouth and trailed it down. Gasping, she watched as he pushed his finger against her clit and rub vigorously. Before she knew it, Sakura was coming and she shuddered violently in his arms as she felt him pumping into her with a renewed pace.
Kakashi had one hand on the wall to support himself and Sakura as he reached his climax. They stood there, panting, until he finally regained his composure. Kakashi picked up the shampoo and began shampooing Sakura's hair. "Close your eyes." Kakashi rubbed in the shampoo and let her rinse herself off as he began to shampoo his own hair.
Finishing, Kakashi stepped out of the shower and helped Sakura out. They grinned at each other, and before Sakura knew it, Kakashi was kissing her. "What was that for?" Sakura's eyes were in a daze as she tried to control her raging blush.
"For being beautiful" Kakashi laughed when he saw her blush doubling in intensity.
After changing and eating an apple each, the ninjas stepped outside. Kakashi loved this sort of weather. It was sunny, but chilly outside. He held Sakura's hand as they walked over to the training fields. Sakura felt giddy when she looked up at him, and she felt content for once in her life.
'Is this what love is like?' Sakura knew she loved him as a former teacher, a friend, and a teammate, but did she love him? She had thought she loved her past boyfriends, but it was different with Kakashi. With Kakashi she never felt like she had to impress him, like she had to work to be his girl…friend? She felt safe with him, and she didn't mind that they would need to work everything out day by day. Squeezing his hand, she wondered what he was thinking as he looked down at her, eye crinkling.
He looked down at her and smiled without betraying his inner thoughts. 'She's so beautiful, but is this what I'm looking for?' Kakashi was an older man and he had his fair share of lovers, but they never really lasted. The biggest thing that assured him about Sakura was the fact that he had to go after her. He had never had to pursue any woman, but he felt that Sakura was worth pursuing. Cliché? Kakashi couldn't help using every damn cliché in the book to try and describe Sakura and what they were.
Reaching the training grounds, they lied down on the grass. He ran his fingers through her hair, relishing the softness. Looking down at her, he grinned. Lacking spare clothes this morning, Sakura had put on a pair of his sweats and one of his long sleeves that was much too long for her. Kakashi closed his eyes as he rest his head against hers and wished this moment could last forever.
She felt him run his fingers through her hair. Sakura shifted closer to him and began rubbing his hand with her thumb. She loved how his hands depicted the life of a ninja, rough. Smiling, she closed her eyes and let herself drift off to sleep after she wished he could stay forever and indefinitely.
"ARE YOU GUYS TOGETHER!" The couple woke up startled as they heard a certain blonde ninja yelling at them. Kakashi grimaced as he saw the pop of neon orange jumping up and down whining about how it wasn't fair and how Kakashi was such a perv, etc. etc. "You know…I'm not that old" Kakashi was hurt as Naruto insulted his age at one point.
Sakura shut Naruto up real quick when she threw a punch at him, flinging him across a few trees. She looked up and saw Sasuke and gave him a intense glare. "You have a problem with this too? If you do, I'll let you join Naruto." Sasuke glared back as he fought back the desire to pull Sakura and Kakashi apart. Sakura was supposed to be his. He needed her to start up his clan again, but he couldn't do that with Kakashi in the way. He glared at the two of them before walking away, trembling from his barely contained rage.
"Hey, Sakura-chan? I'm sorry…I didn't mean to. I mean neither of you guys even told me about it, you know?" Naruto wore the expression of a dog who had been kicked. He gave his best pout until Sakura relented with an exasperated sigh.
"ANYWAYS, everyone's having dinner tonight. Join us! You guys can be official in front of everyone!" Naruto smiled brightly at the two of them.
"Wait, so you're okay with this? Don't you think it's weird?" Sakura frowned at the blonde haired ninja.
Naruto's gaze softened as he placed his hand on her shoulder. "Neh, Sakura-chan? You and Kaka-sensei are really important to me. Nothing could ever change that, and I'd never want to ever not support you. If anything I'm glad that you stopped going out with Kiba!"
Sakura smiled lightly and placed her hand over his. She gave it a gentle squeeze. "Thanks, Naruto. We'll see you later tonight. Same bar?" She grinned as Naruto nodded in reply before taking Kakashi's hand and walking away.
"What are we doing for the rest of the day, oldie?" Sakura smiled brightly as Kakashi scowled, unhappy with the nickname.
"Well, I thought we'd go back to my apartment so I can pack, then we can go to yours so you can change," said Kakashi. He felt her tense up when he talked of packing and he smiled at her sadly. Without listening for a reply, he dragged her towards his apartment. Reaching his humble home, he opened the door and went inside.
Walking into his apartment, Sakura headed for the kitchen. As he went into his room, she prepared some tea.
Sakura sipped the tea absently as Kakashi appeared with a small duffel bag containing some belongings. She smiled up at him before pulling his mask down to place a small kiss on the corner of his mouth.
"Hey, I know I said we'd go to your apartment then to the bar, but I forgot I had to go do something. Do you think you can head to the bar first, and I'll meet you there?" Kakashi ruffled her hair.
"Sure thing! Don't be too late though," Sakura was out the door before Kakashi had a chance to reply. He chuckled at her haste and felt a pang as he watched her leaving figure. How long would he have to wait until he would be able to see her again? If he survived that was.
Sakura got home and began rummaging through her closet for something cute to wear. She went through the colors of the rainbow before she found a dress that she liked. It was a one-shouldered, emerald dress. It cut off a tiny bit shorter than mid-thigh, and there was small gold detail around the dress too. Where it reached her shoulder, there was a small golden brooch that cinched the fabric between her shoulder and the rest of her dress, and to dress it up, she put on some gold bangles and black heels. She skimped a bit on the make up by opting for light gold shadow and mascara. Finished dressing up, Sakura walked out and headed over to the bar.
She heard the bar before she saw it. Sakura smiled as she felt herself swinging her hips to the music and noise, and grinned as she saw Ino heading towards the bar too with Shikamaru. "INO-PIG!" Sakura ran over to her friend and embraced her in a hug. They began talking as they walked into the bar, searching for their friends.
"I have huge news to tell you later!" Sakura smiled slyly at her friend.
"What? Tell me now!" Ino looked at Sakura excitedly but Sakura refused to let another word of it out.
Sakura looked around anxiously for Kakashi, but he was no where to be seen. After another half hour, she finally saw him enter the bar. He was in his regular jounin clothing and looked nervous as can be. She waved her hand and he caught her eye and smiled. He pointed to the bar to explain that he was going to get a drink and she nodded.
Kakashi approached the bartender, "two glasses of champagne, please. The best you have." He grabbed the glasses from her after handing her some money, and quickly made his way to Sakura. "Hey beautiful!" Kakashi's eye crinkled up as he smiled at her and, seeing that all other seats were occupied, stood next to her. "Guess what I got you?" He kneeled down before handing her the glass.
Sakura laughed as she took the champagne from Kakashi's hands. She found it amusing that he'd buy the most expensive drink at a bar, but found it sweet. Before she could take a sip, he stopped her. "Wait, before you drink it…let me apologize before hand. I'm sorry this is so corny, I'll make it up to you, I swear."
She looked at him puzzled, but he smiled in response. He clinked his own glass with hers and stayed kneeling. Laughing at his quirkiness, Sakura sipped her champagne.
Kakashi laughed as he saw her startled expression when something hard hit against her teeth. She fished it out with her finger before letting out a gasp. His smile wavered as her glass hit the floor, breaking and attracting the attention of almost everyone around.
"Sakura Haruno. Sure, we've dated for the smallest amount of time, but you know the life of a ninja. I don't want to leave for this mission without making sure you'll be here for me. I don't know what love is, but if this isn't love, it's a lot like it. Sakura, will you marry me?" Kakashi looked up at her, oblivious to the faces of everyone around them. He watched as her eyes welled up and the tears fall to the ground.
"Kakashi, I- I, yes. I can't even...oh my God."
The applause, congratulations, and cheers were thunderous. Kakashi smiled as he slipped his mask off to kiss her. He gently took the ring from her hand to slip it onto her finger, and kissed her knuckles.
After the rounds of drinking, small talk, and laughter, Kakashi and Sakura made their way to her home. He stripped down to his boxers and slipped into her bed, and drew her close. "Sakura, thank you for saying yes. You have no idea how nervous I was. Regardless of how things are now, tomorrow will be the beginning of a war, and I don't want to ever leave you without having you as mine." He looked sadly at her as he stroked her face with his thumb.
"Oh shut up" Sakura giggled and gave him a kiss before snuggling up closer to him, and falling asleep.
He woke up early that morning, and watched her sleep. Reluctantly, Kakashi got up from the bed. He wearily put on his clothes and found a pad of paper and pen and wrote, "Dear Sakura, I'll be back as soon as possible. Love, Kakashi." Kissing her briefly on the forehead, Kakashi left the apartment, and headed towards the gate to meet his team.
That was the last memory he had of her. It had been two grueling months, and he hated every moment of it. All he wanted to do was to get back to Sakura, to hold her, to kiss her, and to be with her.
"Commander, we need you now! There's an attack out near Genma's team!"
Kakashi didn't need any more description as he flew out the tent. He ran as fast as he could with two other ninjas. Silently cursing under his breath, he hid behind a tree as he saw the enemy ninjas. He flung a kunai out to one of the ninjas head before making 4 clones of himself. The five Kakashi dispersed to confuse the ninja. As the other four fought different ninjas, the real Kakashi took on the leader. He slipped his hitatae up as he faced the ninja.
"Fuck, it's the copy-nin. I'm not scared of you. You know what I'm going to do to you? I'll kill you and then I'll kill your teammates. After that, I'll kill your friends, your village, and lastly I'll kill your lover," sneered the ninja. He quickly threw four shruiken at Kakashi.
Kakashi's stare hardened as he easily dodged it before beginning the hand seals for a ninjutsu. The enemy ninja chortled as he made his own water jutsu that called for three water dragons heading to Kakashi. Jumping, Kakashi dodged one and finished his rasengan and dipped it into one of the dragons. He watched with grim satisfaction as the electricity raced back to the ninja, killing him immediately. He turned to help his others and effectively killed another four ninjas by himself. He was out of breath when he saw Genma walk towards him.
"How did you kill them? Even for you that should have been difficult…you just finished a battle before getting here. Are you okay, Kakashi?" Genma stared in disbelief at the out of breath copy ninja.
Kakashi looked up tiredly at his friend, and gave a half-assed attempt at a smile.
"Some things are worth fighting for."
I'm not entirely satisfied with this, but I don't know. T_T
