Kakashi
We walked to the edge of the lake, we followed the path I had taken for years, I knew that part of the forest like the back of my hand. The lake was calm, you could hear the noise of the animals. It was the most pleasant silence to hear. Even though it was winter, the weather was sunny and pleasant. Just like the big sun celestial hovering over us, Sakura's skin was also warm. Feeling her hand curl into mine was the purest apex. She was happy. She was happy to be here with me. It was more than I could have asked for. More than I could feel. She was a defibrillator for my chest. Bam. My heart hasn't beat the same since then.
Her smile covered her entire face, creating beautiful dimples in her cheeks. Looking at her closely was like observing a small galaxy, seeing her freckles. Small dots marking each corner of her face. And as much as I didn't want to feel that way, her big green eyes sucked my breath away. They intimidated me. She was beautiful. More than that. Sakura was everything. I loved her smile, the sound of her laugh. I loved when she was embarrassed next to me and even more when she broke free. It's been two weeks since I met her, ever since we bumped into each other in the hallway. Blessed was the day I had to go there. I would do the exact same thing over and over and over again...
We walked around the lake until we reached the wooden pier. The landscape was more enchanting than ever, even more so now with her by my side. Nothing and no one could take her away from me.
- It's beautiful here... - she said - Thanks for bringing me
- I am grateful that you accepted the invitation - I replied in a good tone
- So... Shall we go in? - she asked laughing
- Aren't you cold? - I questioned - The water is not usually so cold but... - I was interrupted
- Aren't you going to tell me that the head of the ANBU is afraid of getting into cold water? - she laughed, she was teasing me and taking advantage of the situation, she was amazing
- After you then... - I said giving him passage to the edge of the pier
She got right on the edge and took off her shirt. My heart is not okay. The feelings and reactions I had with Sakura were the most unpredictable, I never knew what was coming, regardless of the strategy I adopted. I was feeling like a teenager. Fifteen-year-old fucking teenager in the throes of puberty when he sees a pretty woman. Her black lace bra fit her small, rosy breasts perfectly. Her flat stomach with the perfect curve at the waist. I was paralyzed. And it was nothing I hadn't seen before. But just being her, it was different.
- Kakashi... - she called me laughing - My eyes are up here, okay? Don't forget - she said as she took off her shorts.
She was unpredictable. Indescribable. Incredible. And the more time I spend with her, the more I realize that. For a brief moment I wondered if she's always been like this or has become like this because of what happened. I would have to talk to Ino more. I wanted to know every moment of her past, but from other people's point of view. Sakura wouldn't always tell me everything and she always made the situation itself seem better than it was.
- So... Are you going to come in or are you going to watch me? - she said and in the blink of an eye, she slipped
- SAKURA! - I screamed as I tried to grab her hand, the world went into slow motion for me
As soon as she landed in the water, I did the same. Everything happened so fast. The thermal shock in my body made me release some air bubbles. The water was cold, as I had said. But at the moment I didn't care about that. I swam as fast as I could to pull her up. She tried to swim her way up but couldn't, I think desperation did that and occasionally caused her to swallow some water. I grabbed her around the waist and pulled us up to the edge of the lake as fast as I could. Once we reached the surface, we finally took a breath.
- Heavens! Did you swallow a lot of water? - I asked worriedly as I grabbed her face.
- I'm good... I think I was nervous about the fall - she turned her head and coughed up some water, then smiled as she remained lying down - Thank you, my savior - she said laughing and placed her hand on my chest
- It's not funny, you could have been hurt - I said - I was worried
- How could I have hurt myself? if I have you here? - she touched my face - You wouldn't let that happen - and smiled
- I'm glad you know... - I sighed in relief - Don't scare me like that anymore
-Kakashi ...- she called me as she sat down - Can I ask you a question?
- Yes
- What are you afraid of? Are you afraid of something? - she questioned
- Is it just yes or no? - I asked
- If you want to explain... - Sakura approached me
- I think... After so much time working with what I work with, you stop being afraid of most things - I said - Even death... You know?
- So... If you're not even afraid of death... - she said getting closer to my ear - Why is your heart so fast?
How had I not noticed? All I thought about was Sakura and deep down I was afraid... afraid of losing her. I got scared, I really felt it. For the first time in a long time. I didn't know what it felt like anymore, it had been so long since I'd felt it that I didn't even remember what it felt like.
- Sakura... Maybe you don't believe me - I said
- Why? - she asked
- It was you who saved me - I said looking into her eyes - You saved me from the deepest lake
- Kakashi... - she said in surprise
- Thanks... - I said and nodded - For this
- I... - her voice was low - I have something I need to tell you... You were so honest with me, I can't hide it from you... I told myself I wouldn't talk about it, I didn't want to ruin our weekend but I need to vent
Deep down I felt her voice trembling, her body wasn't so hot and she had goosebumps. I already knew what she was going to talk about. And she spoke. With much more detail about what happened between her and Itachi. All the details, the before and after. The beginning and the end. That moved me, it really hurt to hear those things from her mouth. Sakura said that she didn't understand her return either but that it messed with her, in a way she didn't want and in a way she didn't expect. That he still did this feelings to her. I want to understand, I really want to understand. But I'm jealous. I'm completely irrational. Sakura has suffered, much more than I could ever imagine and I don't want to see her go through that again.
It pained me a little to hear that. But... In the end we were nothing more than friends - for now - and we always promised to be honest with each other. I also had a terrible past and a person she didn't know. As incredible as we try, we've only known each other for a little over a week... The truth is, we know next to nothing about each other. And how I wish I had met her sooner. Now I'm a lot more scared because this is too good to end. I wish we had more time together. I wanted to unravel every piece of your soul, understand all your ways. Admire how she studies. See the world through her eyes.
- Sakura... - I said in a low voice.
- Yes? - she said with tears still in her eyes.
- Did something happen between you and Itachi yesterday? - I asked coldly
- Nothing happened... He apologized... But, I can't look at him yet... It hurts - she squeezed her chest
- Can I make a request? - requested
- And what would be? - she holds her head
- Stay with me - I said seriously.
- But I'm here... - she smirked
- Yes... But not like that - I said.
- Kakashi... We don't even know each other very well and besides... - I interrupted her
- I know... But I want this, I know that the right thing is for us to be together - I proliferated - Just one chance - I lowered my head, I never thought that this woman would leave me like this, in the palm of her hand
- I'm loving falling in love with you - she said smiling and I was surprised, she was sincere - I don't know exactly what I feel... But I want this
- Sakura... I...- I held her face and kissed her
Our wet bodies seeking warmth in each other's bodies. Sakura ran her hands through my still wet hair and down to the back of my neck. Our mouths connected in a way I had never experienced. It was necessary to create a new adjective for this type of kiss. Therapeutic. Pungent. All these diverse feelings, all at once. An overwhelming amount of emotions coursing through my body electrified the energy traveling from mine to her. I knew I would never want to kiss another woman but her again. A feeling we couldn't explain.
When she hugged me tighter, her leg came up, straddling me. A small moan came out of her mouth when my hands tightened on her ass, making my thought desire to lay her down and fuck her right there on the pier. My body fell into the thralls of desire, and began to beg the heavens that this wasn't a fantasy brought on by depression - but that, if it was, I hoped I would never return to reality - The moment Sakura fell into the water I felt scared. And now she was here in my lap seeking my body heat.
- I know we don't know each other well... - she stopped kissing me and lowered her head.
- I know... - I said - I'll be here
- Good... - she smiled - I want to move on with you
- What? - what was she trying to say?
-Dinner, at my house, on Friday - she ordered - Me, you and my friends
- Do you think they'll accept that? - requested
- Believe me, they already accepted - she said - I just want to introduce you... As someone important to me... - she said low - And who will be present in my life now
- Of course I will - he smiles.
- Let's go back? It's cold here - she joked and then I noticed that her mouth was already purple
- Let's go - I got up with her on my lap.
- Kakashi! - she laughed - You don't have to carry me!
- Didn't you say you were cold? - I joked
- It's comfortable here... - she rested her head on my chest.
- Come on, you need a hot shower - I said.
Ino
It was great being here with Gaara, Konoha Palace was really amazing. I told him I didn't intend to come home. At least not this weekend. Today was Sunday, it was still morning. He was no longer on my side, he was in a meeting. Sometimes looking at him I forget that he is someone so important. The Kazekage of Suna. Someone so young... - Oh, I was on cloud nine! - I always knew that I would be part of something important, but this? I was loving it. He was amazing, we were amazing together. I was loving the last two weeks. This hotel was everything I needed to relax.
The sun invaded the room, it must have been hot outside. I looked at the clock on the bedside and it was half past eight in the morning, it was still quite early for a Sunday, I remembered Sakura, we never woke up before ten on Sundays... My body was aching. The last two nights have been heavy. I could never imagine that for someone so quiet he could make such a mess. I felt my body burn just thinking about it. He ran his hands down my arms and legs. I still felt him inside me and that would last a while. I still had some marks. I didn't want to forget that feeling ever again, it was wonderful. I don't remember having so much fun in years.
I took out my cell phone and had some messages. Gaara, Hinata, Sakura... I feel like I'm their mother. I quickly saw Gaara's message saying good morning and letting me know that he would be back to the room soon. Hinata saying that she go out with Naruto and asking when I would be back. And finally, the message that left me in shock, Sakura's. I didn't pick up my cell phone last day. - was a little busy - Had several messages from her and a few missed calls. I got up in a hurry when I read that she said that Itachi came to our house to "talk" with her. Wait a minute, HE DID WHAT? Wow, I would kill him! Who does he think he is to do this to her? Back as if nothing had happened! He's an asshole. It must be in the blood. And she said that she had gone on a trip with Kakashi. How much happened while I was here?
My head was spinning but I honestly didn't want to think about that right now. I have to enjoy it before returning to reality. They never ask how I'm doing. Sometimes I get upset. Spending this time with Gaara is doing me good, he is attentive and always wants to know how I am doing. Cares about me. I just wish they were a little more affectionate with me. I stopped thinking about it and went to take a shower, I needed it, many things happened in the morning. Besides, I was starving. I needed some breakfast and since it's all in Gaara's name, I'll eat it just like royalty.
- Miss Yamanaka? - I heard a male voice and a light knock on the bedroom door as I got out of the shower - Mister Gaara asked me to take you for breakfast, he would love your company
- I'm on my way - I said.
- I'll wait here to escort you - the man said.
- Okay, give me ten minutes - I said.
He always surprises me. I was so happy. I put on comfortable clothes that he had bought for me. A loose sky blue dress. It fit my body really well, by the way, people here dressed like that, even for breakfast. Always tidy, makeup, hair done and I wanted to be like that too. A good company for Gaara. I applied a concealer and got ready as best I could, in addition to being extremely smelling. I looked lovely, I really loved this dress. It's a beautiful gift. And he's so expensive, even with my student salary from all these years I couldn't afford him. I got up from the dresser and walked to the door. I looked in the mirror one last time before leaving, I looked beautiful.
- Let's go? - I asked the man next to the door, he must be one of Gaara's security guards
- Yes ma'am - he stated.
We walked through the wide corridors of the hotel, the walls were cream colored and the floor was covered with a red carpet. We were on the most private and reserved floor, only for the most important people. Not even in my wildest dreams had I imagined that I would be experiencing this. Everything he can provide me, everything we talk about while we have sex. Everything we promised to do together, I planned the future with someone who wans't at least my real boyfriend. We enter the elevator and go down. We passed some play areas and even some I hadn't seen before. I could easily get lost in here. It was huge. It felt like a city within Konoha. After a few minutes walking, we arrived at the place where Gaara was and he soon got up to receive me.
- You look lovely as always - he whispered in my ear.
- Thank you, dear - I thanked - Who are all these people? - I asked
- They are some advisors, diplomats, among others - he replied - Soon they will leave the table and we can be more comfortable
- So this is the Kazekage lady? - A tall, strong man stood up and walked towards me.
- Her name is Ino, General - Gaara replied - There's no need for formalities around here...
- You're finally thinking about what I told you, Gaara - the man smirked and Gaara looked away, holding my hand - It was time to think about this matter, you can't be the Kazekage forever your lineage needs to continue
- What is he talking about? - I asked in doubt
- Don't worry... We'll talk about it later - he smiled awkwardly, what was he hiding from me? - Let's eat something? You must be hungry - he said pulling me in.
- Yes... I'm hungry - I said low
Gaara pulled me over to the neighboring table he was sitting at. A table with only 2 seats. We sat down and he called a boy to attend to us.
- What would you like to eat? - he asked me
- Everything! - I smiles
- Bring me the special number three, the usual, for two people - he said - Thank you - the boy referred and left
- You come here a lot, then - I said looking at the things around me
- Konoha is my second favorite place - he stated
- And to think that we only met now, Temari's little brother - I said - I mean, the Kazekage of Suna
- Don't even remind me of that - he held my hand - I was extremely happy to meet you
-Thanks for the weekend - I said looking into his eyes - I'm... Loving all of this
- Its me that have to thank you - he reciprocated - With you here, it's been more amazing
- What did that general mean by that? - I asked curious
- It's nothing you have to worry about - he replied
- He spoke in a frightening tone - I spoke about the man who uttered those words to me
- The general is like that... - he said - Always overly concerned... With everything
- Its make sense, you govern a country - I said - This is a huge responsibility, I can barely handle my college
- Can we not talk about this over breakfast? - he smiled - I would love to discuss political situations with you after lunch
- It's so funny, Lord Kazekage - I joked
- I will miss you - he said absolute - Very much
- But I'm still here - I proliferated
- I'm going back to Suna tonight, I need to go back to my country, there are some things I need to solve - he completed - Come visit me
- Of course I will, Temari's fashion show is in a few weeks - I said - We're all going to Suna for winter break
- Good... - he sighed - I can't wait, you'll love Suna
- I'm sure so - I smiled - Especially with my boyfriend being the Kazekage
- B-boyfriend? - he stuttered and blushed
- Isn't that what you asked me yesterday? Amid moans and vows of love - I questioned and laughed - I just wanted to know why so fast, we only went out three times... And it's only been a few weeks
- It-it's just…- he was speechless.
- So... I'm the mistress of Suna now? - I joked - Until it's so bad
- Ino... - he called me - Why are you saying that? You're joking are not you? Please don't joke about these things, I mean seriously...
- Do I look like I'm joking? - I replied - We spent the last few days together, believe me, I've never done that with anyone, one day was enough
- I know, it's just... Nobody ever said that to me - he lowered his head
- Gaara, I'll be honest with you - I started talking - If I didn't want to be here with you, I wouldn't be, there are several messages on my cell phone from several different boys - he frowned - Don't look at me like that! - I laughed - I like you
- Do you like? - he widened his eyes
- Temari has already spoken so much about you that I already knew you before I even met you - she smiles - And I just confirmed everything she said
- I like you, Ino - Gaara blushed and spoke softly - Since when you called me to that meeting on the beach... You accepted me as a person and not as Kazekage, as most people do
- But I would like to keep it a secret... Let's take it easy - I said - I still don't want my face on the cover of the gossip newspapers, although I would look beautiful
- Surely you would be! - he joked - It's okay, I don't want that either... You have to be comfortable before receiving all the attention that awaits you and about that...
- This what? - I asked
- You'll have to be prepared for what you're going to read... - he said sadly
- And what worries you so much? - I asked
- You know that in my country, being the Kazekage is hereditary, it runs in the family - he explained - It is my obligation to continue the family, to have children ..
- Uh... I understand - I said but I was scared
- I know, but this is what you will hear - he said - You will be Suna's most precious asset if you get involved with me, will you carry the heir of my country
- And you were going to tell me this when, Gaara? - I asked excitedly - You know these things are unpredictable, I could be pregnant right now
- Please calm down - he pleaded.
- So that's what the general meant? - I said irritated
- Y-yes, but I didn't want to scare you, we met a few weeks ago - he said sadly and in parts I understood, in fact, it wasn't something he could control and I could see that he suffered from it, it wasn't the time to be the spoiled child - I don't want you to leave anymore, Ino, I really fell in love with you - he pronounced with tears in his eyes
- Hey, I'm not going anywhere - I said firmly - Stop crying, what will they think of me if I make the Kazekage cry? What will I think of myself if I make you cry? - I got up and sat on his lap.
- Ino! - he exclaimed
- I will be the lady of Suna - I whispered in her ear - I love a challenge - I smiled maliciously
- Sir... - called the young man - Breakfast is here
- Let's eat, dear - I said getting up - I'm very hungry
As we ate I wondered what I was getting myself into. If I was doing the right thing. If I really liked him enough to get involved like that. But I wouldn't be like Sakura. I didn't need time to admit what I felt. I really liked Gaara and loved spending time with him. If I like him more than I like any hookup I've had, why wouldn't I take a chance? We would have time to get to know each other later, I still wanted to experience many things with him. I would make it work, but we had to make things clear, I was the Mistress of Suna now. As much as he had to go back to Suna, he would be raising something very important with him, my heart.
Sakura
The next morning...
It was Monday again. My last night with Kakashi was amazing... He's an amazing man. We cooked a wonderful dinner and I must admit I won the lottery. Spending this time with him has been eye-opening, both for me and for him. I couldn't even believe he said those words out loud. Yes. I said. I'm loving falling in love with you. And he listened to me and I saw his eyes light up, he was happy. And he had a beautiful smile, which he only flashed at me. Exclusively for me. He was patient, he listened to my story, he hugged me when it was necessary and he kissed me passionately when I wanted it most. I didn't even know it was possible to be kissed like that.
I slowly got out of bed. It was still dark, it seemed like it was night and we had a view of a beautiful starry sky, without the pollution of the city we could see more stars, the moon was huge in the sky. I made a wish. I wish what we have didn't end. We would have to be at college by seven o'clock. It was five-ten in the morning. Kakashi who woke me up, with a tight hug and a kiss on my forehead and then told me that we would leave in half an hour. He had no problem waking up so early. I wonder how many nights he has turned without sleep because of the missions he carried out. But I can remember him sleeping peacefully last night very well.
- I already packed things - he came walking towards me without a shirt, heavens, I died and I was in paradise - You can rest a little longer
- You're too much - I said leaning against his extremely defined abdomen
- Do you want me to drop you off at home or go straight to college? - he asked me
- I'm going to college with you - I replied - My material for today is already there, that... Huh... I mean...
- What?
- Is it okay for me to go to college with you? - I asked sleepily - You know you're still the director there and I'm still a student
- And what problem would that have? - he replied - Couldn't I give a ride to a student?
- So you keep offering rides to college girls? - teased him - I thought I was special - laughed at his face
- I never treated a student like I treat you - he whispered in my ear and bit my ear - You are my first
- And I'll be the only one - I said angrily.
- Are you jealous, Sakura? - he provoked me
- Of course not - I said.
- Because it seems - he laughed.
- I only take good care of what I like - I said getting up - And then, shall we?
- Let's go...- he replied.
I got up and Kakashi came down saying that he would make us something to eat before we left. I went to the bathroom, showered and brushed my teeth. I put on comfortable clothes, grabbed my backpack and went downstairs. As I organized my things, I glanced at my cell phone. I thought Ino would reply to my messages but still nothing. She must have taken advantage of it with Gaara. I missed her, we had a lot to talk about when we got home. We would spend the night like this, I was sure of it. A lot happened this weekend and a lot was yet to come. I knew and felt it. I would need your help. Besides, I planned dinner with Kakashi and didn't even let her know.
I sent her another message telling her to meet me at college. I went downstairs and saw Kakashi making coffee and ordered some. I added some milk and sugar. I didn't know how the like the coffee like that, pure. It gave me goosebumps just imagining it. It was so bitter. I didn't particularly like it at all. And it intrigued me, how we could be so different and get along so well.
- We have to go, it's half past five - he said.
- Let's go, I'm ready - I said - I'm going to miss it here
- We'll be back soon - he wrapped his arms around my waist - It's a promise
- Okay - I said and placed a kiss on her cheek.
We walked towards the car. The sun had not yet risen. The sky was dark with some stars still visible. I said goodbye internally from the house and headed towards the car. Kakashi opened the door for me and grabbed my backpack. Soon after he got in the car and we left. I was already looking forward to going back.
One hour later...
- Sakura... - I heard him calling me - We're almost there
- Okay - I said waking up and grabbing a bottle of water to take a sip.
- What day will dinner be at your house? - he asked me
- Friday - I replied - Do you need to see it in your schedule, director?
- I'll be there, by the way it was a very dear student who asked me to go - he replied - I don't usually fail my students
- Funny - I said
- Is that Ino over there? - he asked me pointing
- Yes - I replied - But who is on her side? I don't know that man
- Yamato... - he spoke low and I didn't understand very well
- Who is it? - I asked curious
- It's someone from my squadron, don't worry - he replied - I'll fix it
Kakashi approached the car to Ino and Yamato and I got out. The college was not very busy, and internally I was grateful for that... Some people saw me getting out of his car. But I wondered if they knew him, and I hoped they didn't. I don't like to be the subject of gossip here, and rumors spread fast. A simple ride like this could snowball. I grabbed my backpack from the backseat and turned to talk to Ino, I missed her.
- Ino! - I went towards to hug her
- Ino?! Who is this? - she said jokingly - I am the new lady of Suna - she said and a question arose in my head
- Who?
- I'm "dating" Gaara - she said
- I'm gone for a weekend and you show up dating Gaara - I ended up laughing - You're unbelievable, Ino... I missed you!
- I know... - she smiled - Ah, that guy over there was looking for you - she pointed to the guy Kakashi said was Yamato and he came walking towards us - I have no idea who he is
Before he could extend his hand for us to shake, Kakashi objected between the two of us.
- Kakashi... What are you doing here? - he asked - Sakura was with you..
- Yamato... - he said dryly - What are you doing here? - and finally gave a smile to hide it
- I came to talk to Sakura - he replied sincerely.
- Weren't you supposed to be in training? - Kakashi questioned once more - It will start soon
- Y-yes, I'm going there in a little while, but I have something to deliver to her - Kakashi looked at him seriously, was he jealous? How ironic
- Hi, Yamato - I gave a smile - What did you want to talk to me about? Nice to meet you
- Hi Sakura, I already know you but I don't think we've been introduced - he scratched his head - I wanted to give you this
He took a small black box out of his backpack and handed it to me. He certainly didn't know what was going on between me and Kakashi. And doing this in front of him... For me it was good, I wanted to see this jealous side of him and I was having a good laugh inside.
- T-thank you - Anyway, I was kind of speechless, when I opened the box, there was a beautiful cherry blossom inside with several buds wrapped - It's beautiful, it's because of my name... - I was enchanted with that gesture
- I wanted to know if you're going to do something... - Kakashi interrupted him
- We're late, get in the car - he pointed to Yamato and he just obeyed
- Hi Ino - Kakashi waved at her and then waved goodbye
- You kidnapped my friend and receive me like this? - she said playfully
- See you later, Sakura - he gently squeezed my hand without anyone noticing and they left
- You made the director jealous of you - Ino laughed - So proud, my girl has grown
- Ino... Let's have dinner on Friday - I said while we watched his car drive away together.
- Really? I don't know about that - she joked.
- Really - I said - I talked to Kakashi to know you and our friends better, to deepen our relationship before taking any important step, help me, please - I begged - You didn't tell me about Gaara either, you owe me
- Very funny, Sakura - she took my hand - Let's go to class, we'll talk about it later
We entered the university and went to the living room. I was excited for Friday and besides, I missed my friends too... The weekend was good, but now everything would be much better.
