Chapter 16
Beta'd by Black Sparrow
Four months into their relationship Kakashi introduced his nin-dogs to Shiori. He had been inwardly debating this for quite some time now and felt that it was the right moment. Pakkun and his other dogs were pack, his family and he wanted them to meet and approve of Shiori. With that decision made Kakashi summoned the whole pack in the back yard.
"Yo, Kakashi. What do you need?" Pakkun asked slightly bored after tensing for a second and then relaxing.
Their summoner didn't smell panicked or injured, well maybe somewhat nervous but Pakkun didn't pick up any threats around them so this would probably be a training or a tracking lesson or something equally mundane.
"Hey guys...I want to introduce you to someone," Kakashi said.
The summons perked up their human partner's scent changed to a pleasant smell, whoever they were meeting was pretty important to their Alpha, so everyone of the pack sat up straighter and paid attention to Kakashi.
"Come on," Kakashi said while he led them into the house.
Too late the silver haired Jounin realized that he didn't know if Shiori would have problems with his summons in her home. Well it was a little too late now.
Bisuke sniffed deeply before he tilted his head and voiced what all the dogs were wondering, "Kakashi? Have you finally found a mate?"
Kakashi simply nodded before he led his pack through the house into the living room. There Shiori was lying on her stomach on the couch with a book in her hand and a cup of tea on the side.
"Kakashi? Welcome back," Kakashi's lover said warmly before she got up from her comfortable position on the couch to come closer.
Rounding the couch her eyes fell on the nin-dog pack that had been concealed by the couch, her blue eyes traced the dog forms before she looked slightly confused at Kakashi. "Who are they?"
"We are Kakashi's ninken. Hello," Pakkun spoke calmly while he sat down in front of the, clearly civilian woman.
Shiori's eyes nearly popped out before she giggled, Pakkun's voice was even deeper than she had imagined.
With a warm smile the blue eyed woman sat down on the floor in front of the eight dogs. "Hello it's nice to meet you. I'm Inoue Shiori."
"Hello Shiori, It's nice to meet you too. I'm Pakkun, the big guy is Bull, scruffy on my left is Urushi, then the one with the mohawk is Shiba followed by Bisuke, Guruko, Uhei and glasses is Akino," Pakkun introduced the pack while he kept an eye and his nose on the female in front of him.
"So you are partnered with Kakashi? He must be a pain to work with," Shiori said mischievously while she grinned teasingly up at the shinobi standing only two steps away from her.
"Hey." Kakashi pouted childishly.
"Ain't that the truth." Akino sighed.
"HEY," Kakashi said louder and looked like he was sulking.
Shiori laughed and pulled her lover down to kiss him briefly. "Aw, don't worry Kakashi I still love you," she said before she turned her attention back to the ninken in front of her. "Can I pet you guys?"
"Sure." Pakkun grinned happily while he rolled up beside her left thigh; the pack never passed up a good petting, especially not by someone who smelled so genuine and warm.
Shiori blinked and she was suddenly surrounded by dogs that searched for a place close to her. Curious the black haired woman started to stroke through their different furs and scratched behind ears. The summons let loose content sighs while they enjoyed Shiori's attention. Said black haired civilian looked up smiling at Kakashi and noticed his clearly staged pout and warm eyes on her, her soft laugher didn't help Kakashi's slightly sulking mood.
Shiori could hear him mutter, "If I hadn't introduced you guys to her she would give this attention to me now."
"Aw Kakashi, are you jealous of your ninken? Don't be. Are you hungry? There is some fresh sushi in the fridge...Do you guys also want to eat something too? I'm not sure what to give you?" Shiori said still amused.
"No thanks we are good," Bisuke answered while he rubbed his head against Shiori's thigh.
Pakkun grunted beside him and then mumbled sleepy, "As long as it's not chocolate, that's poison to us."
"I will bring some of the ninken food over later," Kakashi said while he sat down on the breakfast bar and watched contently how Shiori stretched out completely on the wooden floor and the ninken surrounded her and took in her scent.
That they had settled around her so fast and let themselves being petted by her was more than a good sign. Ninken were extremely sensitive to people with bad intentions or dishonesty and that the pack liked Shiori confirmed to him that he had made the right decision concerning her.
When on the next day Shiori put a row of dog bowls beside the breakfast bar Kakashi stopped and stared for a moment before he inwardly asked himself how he had gotten so damn lucky to find this unique gem of a civilian woman in Konoha. These thoughts were only strengthened through the next months. She was always there when he needed her. Either as stress relief during vigorous sex when he had too much adrenaline pumping through his body after a mission or just to hold him while he recovered from the psychological trauma that was inflicted on him almost regularly thanks to his ANBU career.
One day while they were lying in bed and recovering from their most recent round of sex Kakashi had asked her curious why she didn't say anything or tried to convince him to stop going on dangerous missions like other civilian girlfriends. As an answer his lover had just laughed and asked him amused and slightly tired if he wanted her to interfere with his job. Before he could reply she had continued talking and had said that she certainly would be cross with him if he tried to tell her how to run her tea house. The black haired woman then became a bit more serious and softly stroked his face and traced his scars before she said.
"Kakashi, I have every confidence in you that you will come back to me or will try your very best at least. Since opening the tea house I have noticed that being a shinobi is so much more than just a job. So you will have to decide for yourself when it is time to quit those dangerous missions," Shiori explained while she kissed Kakashi's temple and then rolled back onto her back.
He felt her small soft hand grabbing his bigger and rougher one before her whole body relaxed and the silver haired Hatake could feel her falling into a nearly meditative trance beside him. Kakashi caught himself smiling slightly at her behavior and the easy trust she showed him, feeling not even the slightest bit guilty about disturbing her relaxed state the Jounin rolled over Shiori's still form and then ignited the fire once more in her body before he made love to her.
The sex this time had been long, languid and deep and in the end Shiori had been crying in relief when her lover finally allowed her to orgasm. The black haired civilian fell asleep in his arms nearly instantly after that, Kakashi on the other hand lay awake for quite some time while he listened to Shiori calm heartbeat, occasional murmurs and the storm outside and contemplated what she had told him.
The following day Kakashi stopped pretending that he was living in his flat and moved most of his clothes into Shiori's closet. He only had enough things left in his apartment to keep up appearances should anybody drop by unannounced. His fridge was now permanently empty and most of his weapons had also wandered into Shiori's house.
For his weapon storage Kakashi had changed one of the empty rooms in the cellar into an armory with Shiori's permission, additionally he had also started to hide weapons around the first floor and in their bedroom to be available in an instant.
When Shiori had caught him doing this for the first time she had stood still for a second before raising an eyebrow and just rolling her eyes. Afterwards she had given him permission to make permanent weapon caches around the house if he wanted, this was as much for herself preservation as Kakashi's need to have ready weapons on hand, after all it was her that could get hurt pretty badly if she reached into a place with hidden weapons in it. Shiori also proceeded to show him the still existing caches and disengaged traps the Chunin squad and Shiori had found during their search and her move in.
After finding out that this was a former ninja clan house, a slightly concerned Kakashi went over all the rooms with a fine comb and found not only plenty of still existing weapon stashes and a few still armed traps but also a hidden room and tunnel under the house.
When he showed Shiori the hidden jutsu library and escape tunnel her eyes had started to shine like a little girl's at her birthday party before she had promptly wandered between the shelves to throw curious glances at the dusty scrolls in various sizes and the open entrance that was leading into pitch black darkness.
Kakashi's black haired lover had then allowed her shinobi boyfriend to go through the library and learn whatever he found useful from it. Shiori also brought down the scrolls from the attic her Jounin benefactor had kept in her flat before her death, especially the A-ranked Fire technique in one of Inoue-san's scrolls had caught the silver haired Jounin's attention while he checked them over.
It had taken Kakashi about a week to get an idea about what the jutsu library contained and what he had found impressed him immensely. The library was more than thorough until about twenty years ago when apparently nobody was left to update it. Even the room itself was impressive, whoever made it knew what he or she was doing, the seals placed around the walls were sturdy and triple reinforced and would probably survive a bomb right on top of the building. When he told Shiori that, the black haired woman couldn't stop laughing hysterically for a moment. The confused shinobi had dismissed her reaction as something female; women reacted to the strangest things sometimes.
While Kakashi sorted through the scrolls and detrapped the shelves and made notes which parts would need to be replaced, Shiori joined him with cleaning supplies and got rid of the layer of dust on the shelves and afterwards also cleaned the stone floor. They were nearly finished with the room when Kakashi somewhat reluctantly brought up moving his own family jutsus and records in here for the better protection. As an answer Shiori just smiled at him before she kissed him and told him that as far as she was concerned this was his home as much as hers since the moment he had started to add books to the library, paid a part of the bills and left his clothes in their closet.
Shiori probably had no idea what this simple sentence would do to him because she had squeaked in surprise when in the next moment she lay flat on the freshly cleaned table in the middle of the room and Kakashi took her right there in the sparingly lit room between the shelves of an old ninja library. Her desperate cries echoed from the walls and when Kakashi came he saw lights exploding behind his closed eyes. The intensity of his orgasm surprised the elite ninja, he couldn't move for the next few moments, his legs had become weak and unsteady. While the silver haired Jounin tried to regain control over his limps his weight was pressing down on Shiori's smaller form, who didn't seem to mind the slightest bit and was just weakly stroking his hair.
"God," Shiori whispered out of breath her eyes were still somewhat vacant and a satisfied smile was playing around her lips. "Is it just me or is the sex getting better and better with each time?"
Kakashi chuckled weakly while he carefully moved out of her and then helped to slip on her partly ripped panties before he secured his own pants once more. "Good to know that you feel that way…oh and yes you are right…this was probably one of the most intense orgasms I ever had."
"Ugh, I don't think I can move," Shiori confessed laughingly, her legs felt like lead in a very, very good way.
Her lover just grinned smugly at her while saying, "You don't have to." Then he put his hands around her, lifted her into his arms and carried her bridal style to the beginning of the hidden staircase before he shunshined them into their bedroom.
There he removed both their clothes once more and grinned mischievously down at her. "Ready for round two?"
"Kakashi!" came the token protest of the giggling woman underneath him.
God, how she LOVED his shinobi stamina!
