A/N: This is the chapter you all have been waiting for since I started posting nearly a year ago. ENJOY!

Chapter 27

"I made a choice." Sakura whispered.

She watched as Kakashi physically stiffened, most likely preparing for the worst she thought. She didn't blame him. The explosive fight they had earlier definitely gave a negative outlook on this whole situation. She was still hurting, but a hot shower and some time by herself cleared her head and she had made her choice. She just hoped Kakashi would be okay with it too.

"Okay."

Sakura dropped her gaze and looked off to the side.

"I thought it out, like you asked. You should see the other room, I made hundreds of pros and cons lists. For professional and personal reasons as to why I should stay or go. None of them helped though." she began to explain in a weak voice. She didn't realize how sore her throat had been from the hours of crying.

She glanced back up to him to gauge his feelings and found him intently listening. Nodding, she decided to continue to speak.

"So I tried to sleep, but I couldn't. I kept tossing and turning. I just couldn't stop thinking. I thought about everything it seems. Everything that's happened in my life and everything that's happened between you and I since the day we met. Can you believe it's been over four months already?"

Kakashi's brow quirk slightly in confusion, obviously not completely following her tangent. She felt a small blush come to her at her unnecessary babbling.

"Sorry, I'm rambling. Like I said, loads of thinking."

His brow dropped back down and he gave her a small nod in understanding. He looked like he had done his fair share of thinking too. Sakura took a deep breath as she looked him square in the eye.

'I hope I didn't ruin my chances.'

"I decided that I'm going to stay. Stay on this assignment and stay with you."

Kakashi's eyes widened then and opened his mouth to speak, but Sakura quickly spoke before he could. She needed to finish saying everything she needed to say.

"I love you, Kakashi. With all of my heart. I almost made the biggest mistake of my life and let my emotions take over and ruin everything I've built with you. I'm not going to lie though… Walking out to find her kissing you like that… It hurt. It hurt so much."

"Sakura, I-" he tried interrupting her, but she held a hand up to stop him.

"Let me finish first before you say anything, please?"

He just nodded a couple times and clamped his mouth shut. Sakura smiled warmly up to him in thanks before she took a deep breath to finish.

"Ino… She said some horrible things to me. She nearly won and got what she wanted. She… She planted those seeds of doubt in me and watered them instantly." the pinkette confirmed his earlier worry he had voiced, "She knew what she said would make me want to leave. She knew you'd step away and that's when she struck. I'm so sorry I doubted you. I'm so sorry that I said those awful things to you. You've treated me better than any person in this world ever has. The fact that I fell into her petty trap annoys the hell out of me, but I'm so thankful for you."

Kakashi looked like he was about to cry again as Sakura recounted the misery Ino put her through.

"I never realized how painful it would be to be so deeply in love with someone. I'm glad you got through to me, Kakashi. You knew that I wasn't seeing clearly. I'm sorry I was so vicious towards you. I'm so thankful you convinced me to sit down and think this out. We obviously know who the more rational of the two is in this relationship…" she lightly joked, "Because if you would've let me go that easily, I would've been too embarrassed to see you again once I did cool down and realized the huge mistake I made."

Sakura dared take a step towards him and reached out for his left hand. He didn't pull back or anything as she laced her fingers through his. She stared down at their conjoined hands for a moment.

"It's not going to be easy, us." she whispered as she looked back up to him and found mismatch eyes regarding her with such warmth that she couldn't help but smile, "But if you're as willing as I am, I think we could do this?"

Kakashi didn't reply as he brought up his free hand and cupped her cheek as he bent down and kissed her deeply. Sakura felt every worry leave her with that single kiss. She felt so foolish to almost allow something as silly as a jealous ex-girlfriend come between her and him. She never had a reason to not trust him or his feelings for her. He had been fully dedicated from day one.

But her past and current lifestyle never allowed her to trust and she nearly allowed her issues ruin the one good thing that entered into her life.

"I love you, Sakura. I don't want you to ever question my loyalty to you. Because to me, you are it. No one has or ever could make me as happy as you do. I've never felt what I feel for you and just the thought that I nearly lost you was the most painful thing I've ever experienced too. You're right though. It's not going to be easy, but you make me want to be a better man." he spoke quietly as he pulled back from the kiss, "I want to give you the life you deserve."

Sakura just leaned forward and kissed him again in reply. She was rewarded with a low hum in appreciation. The pinkette felt her body instantly catch fire as Kakashi snaked his arms around her waist and pressed her against his body.

'This is it.' she quickly thought as she dared to trail her tongue along his bottom lip, asking for entrance, 'He's the one.'

The response was immediate as the two quickly started a slight battled for dominance.

Kakashi suddenly shifted as he leaned down and grabbed the back of her thighs and pulled her up effortlessly. Sakura broke the heated kiss and squeaked at the sudden movement and instinctively wrapped her legs around his waist so she couldn't fall and grabbed his shoulders to balance herself. She looked down to find a smiling Kakashi.

"A little warning would've been nice!" she gently chided him.

His smile turned into a smirk as he turned them into the bedroom and used his foot to close the door.

"I gotta keep you on your toes, darling." he teased as he leaned forward and peppered her neck in kisses, "Plus I figured we'd be more comfortable in our bed."

Sakura couldn't stop the soft moan that left her at his reasoning. At him declaring that this was their room. Their bed. He was telling her that everything that's his, was hers too. This only made him move quicker across the room to the bed. A subtle laugh escaped then at his eagerness as she played with the ends of his unruly hair.

Kakashi stopped at the edge as he carefully placed a knee on the bed and leaned forward and laid her gently onto her back. Sakura loosened her hold of her legs around his waist, but quickly pulled him back down for another passionate kiss. Together they scooted further onto the large bed while making out and as Sakura reached down and started to tug up his shirt.

"Sakura… Are you sure you want to do this?" he asked tentatively as he removed the article of clothing and tossed it somewhere into the room, "After everything that's happened tonight?"

Sakura just looked up to him with a warm smile and nodded.

"I have no reason to hold back any longer." she replied, "I love you, Kakashi. Like you said, this is it. You're it. I'm not going anywhere. I'll always be yours."

Kakashi's expression melted from it's concern into tenderness as he smiled down to her and hummed.

"I love you too, Sakura."

"Plus, I was thinking of doing this anyways while getting ready earlier. Too bad you didn't get the chance to take my dress off." Sakura giggled.

Kakashi dropped his head in a quiet groan before he turned and quickly kissed her jaw.

"Too bad indeed, but I think I'll have plenty of chances in the future to take dresses off of you." he whispered.

He moved over then captured her into yet another kiss, but this time she could feel the heat behind it. He had her permission and no longer needed to hold back. She felt a wave of giddiness come over her as she let her hands wander over his toned chest.

"Sorry I'm not wearing something sexier." she half apologized as he moved back over and latched onto her neck.

She felt him chuckle against her as he pulled back just enough to look at her.

"What are you talking about? You're sexy in anything you wear!" he winked at her before he started to trail lazy kisses along her jaw, "Dresses, pajamas, gym clothes. You're drop dead gorgeous in anything to me."

She felt amazing then as she allowed her hands to drop down to her sides. Only Kakashi could make her feel this good about herself.

This was what true love was really like she realized.

She didn't have to pretend to be something or someone to please him. He loved her in every shape and form. He loved her and thought she was beautiful when she dolled herself up in a dress and make up and he loved her just the same when she was in fuzzy pajamas and an oversized shirt. Sakura felt her breath catch when Kakashi shifted and slipped his hand just under the hem of her shirt and trail along her stomach. His light touch causing lightning to shoot throughout her body.

"Kakashi…" she moaned quietly when she felt his hand trail up, pulling the shirt with it.

A low growl came from him then. He moved up and gave her a quick yet deep kiss before he shifted himself down lower. Sakura gasped when she felt him kiss just below her belly button and begin trailing hot kisses upwards.

"Tell me if you want me to stop at any point." he mumbled in between the soft kisses, "I'll only go as far as you want me too."

He only got another moan in reply and he smirked to himself as he continued moving slowly up her body. Kakashi still couldn't believe this was happening. Not even thirty minutes ago, he was filled with dread as he anticipated the worst and now he was in bed with Sakura preparing to possibly have sex for the first time.

'This has the most interesting day I think I've ever had. Love sure is weird, but I wouldn't want it to be any other way if I get to experience it with her.'

He knew Sakura didn't want him to hesitate, but he didn't want to rush this either. This was such a huge leap for both of them and he wanted to do it right. He wanted to be able to make it so she would forget all the previous pain she ever experienced.

Kakashi took a slow and deep breath as his hand reached her breast before he ran his hand over it and cupped it has he made to kiss between her breasts. He had never been shy with women, but this was different. This was love and not a fling. He wanted to be tender with her and how her how much he loves her. Sakura sucked in a breath before she moaned low at the same time as he ran his thumb over the already erect nipple. Her hands shot up as she buried her fingers into his hair, her body instinctively pushing up into his hold more.

He used the confidence boost to pull her up partially as he helped her remove her shirt the rest of the way. He looked down to her once when she laid back down and began to take in the sight of her bare chest for the first time, but Sakura instinctively covered herself as a deep blush came to her.

"Do you want me to stop?" he asked, slightly concerned that she might be uncomfortable with what he did.

Sakura looked at him with wide eyes as her blush deepened.

"No! I'm just being shy…" she muttered as she looked off to the side.

The next second she dropped her hands and he felt all the blood rush south as he finally took in her nearly naked form. He leaned down with a slight chuckle as he kissed her shoulder.

"You know, for a woman who could probably kill me in mere seconds if she wanted too, you're quite cute when you get flustered like this."

Sakura just let out a frustrated groan then and started to speak, but he used this opportunity of her being distracted to swoop down and take a nipple into his mouth and give it a quick suck.

"Oh, god!" she cried out as she gripped his biceps tightly.

He released her with a slight pop before he moved back up and gave her a quick peck.

"You're such a tease." she whimpered in between ragged breaths.

"I never said I wasn't." he chuckled as he kissed his way back down to her breasts.

He spent the next few minutes paying special attention as he kissed and trailed his tongue across her breasts and teased her. Managing to pull every sound imaginable from the woman.

"You're going to drive me insane if you keep this up, yah know." Sakura said breathlessly as he kissed his way back to her lips.

"Oh, darling, I haven't even begun to drive you insane." he replied in between soft kisses, deciding it was okay to be a bit cocky.

"Oh my…"

Kakashi just hummed as he trailed more kisses down her body until he reached the edge of her pajama pants. He felt her muscles flex under his touch as he hooked his fingers on the edge.

"I love you, Sakura." he spoke quietly as he placed a couple more kisses across her toned stomach.

"I love you too." she whispered back.

He felt her raise her hips slightly in a silent signal to continue. Kakashi tugged down the fuzzy pajamas and easily pulled them down and off her and tossed them off the side of the bed. All she was left in was a simple pair of navy blue panties that contrasted against her pale skin and he groaned low at the sight below him.

"So beautiful…" he whispered as he leaned down and kissed the top of her thigh.

He heard a quiet sigh leave her as he ran his hands over the soft skin and up to the edge of her panties and teased his way under them. He pulled on them to test her reaction and felt her push her hips up again and without a second thought he pulled them down and off.

Kakashi shifted himself up and surprised Sakura with a deep kiss which she eagerly returned while wrapping her arms around his neck.

He shifted his weight onto his left elbow and he let his hand rest low on her and trail down until he cupped her sex. She moaned into the kiss and he felt her hips roll against his hand. He was momentarily taken aback at how she no longer shied away from him and his touch.

'Jesus, I'm trying to savor things for us but she's making me slip…'

"Mmm, Sakura. You seem a little eager." he teased as he kissed the corner of her mouth and began stroking her slowly.

The pinkette let out a shaky breath at the pleasurable sensation before she hummed her appreciation.

"I'm always eager when it comes to you."

At that moment, he ran a finger around her clit a couple times before trailing it down and teasing her entrance and she moaned loudly as intense pleasure ran up her spine. She hadn't been touched in years, so every minute movement was triple the intensity it felt like.

"I'm just as eager too." he agreed.

With that Kakashi suddenly dipped his finger partially into her entrance as he latched onto her neck and she felt herself grow dizzy with desire.

"Yes!" she whined loudly.

Sakura reached down between them and palmed the front of Kakashi's sweats and quickly discovered how hard he was. She was rewarded with a gasp and slight hiss from him as she rubbed him a couple more times.

"I can tell." she teased back with a quiet giggle.

"Hmmm, but we can worry about that later. I've still got some business to take care of." he spoke low as he kissed below her ear sending a shiver down her spine.

Before she could form any coherent words, he moved away from her and settled down between her legs and started kissing up the inside of her thigh as he slowly started to pump in and out of her.

"I want to make sure you never feel any pain or hurt ever again." whispered as he reached the apex and softly kissed right above her sex.

Sakura sucked in a breath of air then and bit her bottom lip hard to stifle the sob that wanted to escape then. A sense of appreciation flooded her then as the pleasure shot through her as he added a second finger and increased his pace.

"Kakashi…" she sang out as she let her hands trail up her to massage her breasts.

Suddenly she gasped when she felt the heat of his mouth on her and his tongue quickly locate her clit. She instinctively rolled her hips against his face to create more friction as he used his free arm to circle around her leg and hold her down in place.

"I wonder how many times I can make you cum tonight?" he teased as he paused his ministrations long enough to speak.

Sakura had a moment of clarity as the weight of his words sank in.

"You are trying to torture me!" she playfully cried out.

Kakashi must have taken her words to heart as he picked up his pace even more than before as he continued to eat her out. Sakura pressed her head against their pillows as she gripped the sheets below her. She had never been so overcome by pleasure before and she wasn't going to deny herself this any longer as she lay there panting.

It wasn't long before she felt herself begin to reach her end.

"Oh, Kakashi…" she cried out in need, "Faster! Please!"

He obliged as he added a third finger and latched himself to her clit from kissing her thighs. Everything went blank in that second as she felt herself cum. She struggled as she attempted to cry out his name, but felt his lips on hers instead and effectively silenced her. She had no control over her body as she rode out the remainder of her orgasm, her body moved on its own as she grasped Kakashi's shoulders. Never breaking their kiss, she nudged him as they rolled on the bed so she ended up straddling him.

"I can't believe I have a literal goddess naked on top of me right now." he said once she broke the kiss for air as she sat up.

Sakura tucked long strands of pink hair behind her ear as she shot him a wicked grin. His hands never stopping as they ran up and down her thighs.

"Okay, kiss ass." she teased with a raised brow as his grin turned into a full blown smile.

Kakashi gave her a big pout then.

"I still haven't gotten a chance to do that either!" he sassed.

Sakura couldn't stop the giggle that escaped as she leaned over gave him a quick peck. She reached down between them and began palming his cock as she tugged at the strings of his sweatpants. She felt his hands pull away from her hips as he sat up and helped her begin to pull them down along with his boxers. After a couple seconds, she was finally greeted with his fully erect cock. Without hesitating, Sakura reached down and wrapped delicate fingers around him and gave a single experimental stroke.

"Fuck…" he gasped as he dropped and buried his face into the crook of her shoulder as they sat there.

She just hummed to herself at the confidence boost he gave her as she stroked him a couple more times. He let his hands trail around her hips and grip her ass as she continued pumping him.

"Sakura." he spoke low against the skin of her neck, his hot breath causing her to suck in a deep breath, "You literally have me wrapped around your fingers…"

Kakashi felt her nudge him back down against the bed as she began to kiss down his throat while shimmying herself lower. The kisses started to become softer and linger longer as Sakura made her way down his chest and his stomach. She never once stopped pumping him as he realized what she planned on doing.

"Saku-, ah, fuck!" he moaned when she suddenly took the the head of his cock into her mouth.

She released him with a pop after a few seconds as she continued to pump him slowly. Kakashi let himself bask in the pleasure as he propped himself up onto his elbows. When he finally opened his eyes he feared briefly that he may climax that second from the sight between his legs.

He had countless dreams of this scenario. Countless dreams about her and now it was finally happening. Reality had proved to be way better than any of his dreams. Kakashi watched as Sakura pulled her long hair to the side then peeked up to him. When their eyes meet, he couldn't help the smile that came to him as she winked at him.

"Truly a goddess…" he whispered with a smirk.

Sakura just rolled her eyes at him with a smile before she dipped her head back down and took him in as far as she could. Kakashi bit his lip as a loud guttural groan left him as the pleasure shot up through him. He felt her tongue work as she flicked it over his slit as she began bobbing up and down and he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly.

'I won't last at this rate…'

He gasped then moaned loudly she began fondling his balls as she took him in all the way. He felt himself hit the back of her throat and suddenly he felt himself tighten.

"Shit, Sakura, wait." Kakashi barely managed to get out in between harsh breaths as he sat himself up the rest of the way.

Once he felt her release him, he leaned forward and pulled her up and crashed his lips into hers before she could speak. Sakura didn't complain as she quickly wrapped her arms around his neck as they fell back against the bed. He rolled them over so she was underneath him as he quickly kissed down her throat.

"You're making me lose my mind, darling." he spoke quietly as he kissed below her ear, "It's been a while for me and with that tongue of yours, it is a dangerous combination."

Sakura sucked in a breath breath as his admission. She had never felt so good before. Him pleasing her and her pleasing him had been the high she always sought. It brought a wonderful sensation of comfort that she had never felt before.

Kakashi moved his knee between her thighs and urged her to spread them apart more. She silently obliged right as reality came back to her for second. Sakura released her hold of him and brought both hands to his shoulders and nudged him up.

"Kakashi… wait." she spoke in a soft tone.

She felt him still for half a second before he shot up and sat back on his feet between her legs. Mismatched eyes looked down to her with fear.

"I'm sorry, did I do something wrong?" he asked quickly, "Did I push you too far?

The bodyguard gave him a warm smile as she propped herself up onto her elbows and shook her head at him.

"No, no. Um, it's just… protection. Do you have condoms? Yah know, before we get too busy?" she explained as she felt her blush spread.

Silver brows shot up at her reason.

"Oh! Yeah! Yes, don't worry, darling." he smiled big back down to her, before he leaned over to his left and began searching in his nightstand.

A few seconds later he sat back with a foil package and a small bottle of lube and shot her a cheeky wink and began to put it on. Sakura couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle as she watched him. He always made sure to keep things playful and she loved it and it was especially fun now that they were naked getting ready to have sex.

"What's so funny, eh?" he asked as he raised a curious brow.

"Sorry, I couldn't help it. It's feels like we're a couple love sick teenagers fooling around for the first time."

A half snort came from him as he leaned back over her and gave her a quick peck.

"Love sick? Definitely. It's been a while for both of us too. Sooo… we can both use the excuse of being rusty. Plus, we're just having too much fun. Don't you think?" he said in between more and more heated kisses.

Sakura just hummed as he made his way along her jaw and down her neck.

"Let's not forget this is all about you too." Kakashi firmly stated as he grabbed her hips and rolled them back over and settled her on top of him.

Sakura yelped happily as she balanced herself by placing her hands on his chest.

"You're in control here now, darling." he added on.

She just stared down at him in wide eyed shock before she felt a smile start to begin. Letting her hands trail up his bare chest, she cupped his face as she leaned down and kissed him deeply while letting her thumb lightly stroke his scarred cheek.

"What did I do to deserve you?" she whispered as she pulled back and kissed the cheek.

A large hand moved from her hip and slid up along her side. She felt as he tucked a few strands of her hair behind an ear as he replied.

"I could say the same too."

Sakura gave him one more kiss before she sat back up. She lifted herself up and reached down and grabbed the bottle of lube and squirted some onto his cock before guiding him to her entrance. Kakashi rested his hands back onto her hips then. She looked to him through her lashes and found him intently watching her.

She smiled as she lowered herself down then. Sakura screwed her eyes shut and let out a shaky breath as she felt the pressure of herself start to stretch out as he entered her.

"Mmm." she heard Kakashi groan as his grip on her tightened.

Once she settled down completely onto him, she paused for a couple seconds to let herself adjust before she lifted herself up and dropped back down again. A wave of pleasure overtook her as she gasped and fell forward, barely catching herself by propping herself up with her hands on his chest.

"Sakura, are you okay?" he asked, "Are you in pai-"

Sakura rolled her hips as she rose herself back up and down again, effectively shutting up her boyfriend as he moaned out.

"I'm fine." she breathed out the shaky breath, "I just need to adjust for a moment. Remember? It's been a while. It just feels really good. You feel good in me."

Kakashi's gripped her hips harder as he began helping her get a steady pace started after that. It took no time at all for her body to relax as she felt herself become wetter and the pleasure consume her.

"Hell yeah, it does." he teased back.

The pinkette let out a small giggle as she leaned down peppered kisses along his jaw. They soon fell into a slow rhythm as they fully enjoyed each other's company.

Quiet whispers of sweet nothings and declarations soon filled the silence of the dim room as kisses and wandering hands roamed over hot skin. Nothing else mattered in the world to them. All the fear and hurt was temporarily forgotten as they finally consummated the love they knew would never die.

"Kakashi… faster!" she moaned as she dropped her head into the crook of his neck after he bucked up into her a few times.

A low growl resonated at her request.

"I can't at this angle, do you trust me?" he spoke low into her ear.

He couldn't believe this was happening. Him and Sakura were really making love right now.

Not sex, but love.

This was something he had never done before, make love. Kakashi had always treated sex as just sex. Nothing more and nothing less. If he needed to satisfy himself, he would. He never really worried about making sure his partner was fully satisfied or not before. That's why he had the countless string of flings over the last decade.

Kakashi wasn't looking for love with them, only to scratch an itch. But, he had found love now and it changed everything.

He had been dreaming of this moment since he realized he held feelings for her. It wasn't the only thing he wanted from her, but it was something he wanted to give to her. Another example of affection. He wanted to make her feel good.

Kakashi knew he'd never wanted to share this part of him with anyone else ever again. Sakura was the one and only for him.

He felt her nod against him before she replied.

"I do."

Kakashi kissed the side of her head before he wrapped an arm tightly around her naked waist and rolled them back over so she was beneath him again. Not pausing he quickly thrusted into her again.

"Oh, god!" she cried out as she grasped the sheets beside her, "Kakashi, yes, just like that! Please!"

He just groaned as the pleasure shot through him as he pumped faster and faster into her. He definitely wasn't going to slow down at this point. He watched as Sakura's face twisted in pleasure and listened to both of their heavy breathing.

Sakura soon started massaging her breasts as he sat himself up more to enter her at another angle. Kakashi watched her let out a small gasp when she pinched one of her nipples. He felt her clamp around him briefly as a result and he let out his own gasp when he felt himself begin to tighten.

"Jesus, Sakura! Please tell you're as close as I am. I don't think I can hold out much longer." he groaned as he grabbed her knee and pulled it up higher and to the side to enter her easier and began to pick up his steady rhythm and started pounding harder into her, "I don't wanna cum without you."

"Ahh, Kakashi." she panted in a dizzy tone, "Touch me… I'm, I'm so close."

He quickly let go of the hand on her waist and reached down and started rubbing her clit in tight circles. Sakura let out a stifled mix of a cry and moan at his ministrations.

"Ka-, ah, -ashi!"

Kakashi's mind went blank when he felt Sakura climax around him, his own end beginning against his wishes. He fell forward and caught himself before he accidentally crushed his girlfriend beneath him. He continued to make long slow strokes as he tried to make both of their climaxes last for as long as possible.

He didn't know how much time had passed as he slowed down and returned to reality from the high he experienced. He kept his eyes closed as he listened to her take deep breaths as she came down from her own climax.

Gentle hands rested on his bare shoulders for a few seconds before he felt them slide up and embrace his face and encouraged him to lean back a bit. He opened his eyes once he propped himself up more and found the bright green eyes he fell in love with studying his face.

"Hi." she whispered with a smile.

"Hi." he whispered back with a matching smile.

They stayed like that for a while as she traced the line of his scar with her thumb again.

"I love you."

"I love you too."

He leaned down and kissed her slowly, only breaking it when they needed air again. He eventually shifted after a few moments and pulled out of her and rolled to his right and sat up.

"How do you feel?" he asked.

"Good. Happy. Warm. Loved." she said as she looked up to him.

Kakashi just chuckled and bent over and gave her another quick peck.

"Can we just mark it as "all of the above?"" he joked as he kissed the corner of her mouth once more.

She laughed quietly while he stood up.

"You gave me two orgasms, darling. I have zero complaints." she teased as she rolled to her side and propped herself up with an elbow.

He admired her for a moment as she laid there naked. This was a new side of her that he immediately loved. The confidence she was radiating was immense and gave him a sense of pride. He smiled to himself as he quickly located his shirt and her panties and tossed both of them to her. Turning back, he found his sweats and made his to his bathroom.

"I'm gonna toss this out and take a leak, do you need anything?"

Sakura stood by the edge of their bed now pulling on her panties. Once she pulled on his shirt, she looked at him and shook her head with a content smile.

"No, I need to pee too, but I'll let you go first." she teased with a mischievous wink.

Kakashi stood there again for a minute to admire her. She was absolutely glowing as she stood there, her usually tamed hair wild from sex.

'I'm the luckiest man in the world hands down.' he smiled to himself as he turned and finally entered his bathroom.

A few minutes later, they were back in bed and he had quickly pulled her in his arms.

"Thank you." Sakura whispered to him as she pressed her back into his side.

"Hmm? Why are you thanking me?" he replied.

The woman shifted so that she faced him now. Resting her head on his shoulder, Sakura traced lazy circles on his toned chest.

"I'm thanking you for dealing with me."

Kakashi frowned as he stared into the dark room.

"I've never dealt with you to begin with."

A small huff let her then.

"You know what I mean!" she lightly chided as she poked his chest, "For dealing with all my issues and being so patient with me. I'm thankful for your dedication."

He tightened the arm he had around her a bit while kissing the top of her head.

"And I'll be dedicated to you forever, Sakura. When I say I love you, I mean every single part of you. Nothing can ever change that."

Sakura tilted her head up and he saw she had a pink brow quirk and a smug smile on her lush lips.

"Nothing? Would you give up your wealth and status for me?"

"Yes, without a doubt." he deadpanned.

Sakura's eyes widened slightly at his reply.

"Really?"

He just nodded a couple times at her.

"I'd give this all up. As long as I have you by my side, I'll be perfectly fine."

The pinkette dropped her head back down onto his chest with a content sigh.

"Now look at who the insane one is." she sassed him playfully as she pulled the blanket over them more.

He just chuckled briefly before he replied in a serious tone.

"Money is replaceable, you aren't."

Kakashi's mind briefly flickered back to the two incidents that he could have nearly lost her. She easily threw herself in harm's way to protect him. He knew it was technically her job, but now that they were together, it scared him how easily Sakura could be taken away from him. It would be his fault if she died or was gravely injured. He still couldn't forgive himself for her injuries from the car accident. She only got hurt from prioritizing his safety over hers.

Sakura hugged him close then as she buried her face into his neck.

He silently sent a pray to the heavens and to his father and mother to watch over her and make sure she never has to feel anymore pain for the rest of their days. That this investigation would wrap up soon.

"I love you." she whispered.

"I love you too. Let's get some sleep, it's nearly five in the morning."

A big yawn came from Sakura then and he just hummed happily as he drifted off to sleep himself.

'Her life is more important than mine.'

A/N: I hope you guys liked it! There was so much build up (super unintentional) that I actually got nervous about posting this because I didn't want to disappoint anyone. ^_^""

Please leave a review and tell me what you think! Now that they've finally consummated everything what does that mean for the rest of the story? Hehehe.

Thank you as always to Taytay95 for rocking out this wordy beast. It's my longest chapter of UWS so far! eheheheh
