Chapter 31

Kakashi jerked up breathing heavy as his heart raced. He looked down to his left and found Sakura sound asleep still and he gave out a sigh of relief. He reached up to rub his face and quickly discovered that he had been sweating profusely.

'Damn it. Another nightmare… I haven't had one in over a month now.'

He turned and looked around the poorly lit room and quickly realized they were not home, but at Sakura's family's unfamiliar to him cabin.

'Oh, I forgot the bombing back home… We escaped.'

Kakashi quietly and carefully edged himself out of bed as to not wake Sakura and tiptoed out of the room and into the bathroom. After he finished, he washed his hands and splashed some cold water onto his face to remove the excess sweat and clear his mind some more. He dried himself off and felt somewhat better. He stared at his reflection in the mirror for a while as his eyes lingered on his large scar as memories of the nightmare slowly came back to him.

-flashback to the nightmare-

"Kakashi, you've picked a wonderful woman to be with!" Sakumo praised him as he slapped his shoulder, "She reminds me of your mother."

Kakashi just smiled back at his father then.

"She does?" he asked, curious to hear his father's viewpoint. Since his mother died when he was so young, his memories of her were faded and far in between.

Sakumo nodded a couple of times as stepped up next to him and they both watched Sakura as she talked to a gaggle of young children that surrounded her. They were in a school that he and Sakura had donated too to see how things were going. He smiled when she said something and all the kids started laughing and jumping up and down. This was their third donation and they had expanded beyond reading and literacy programs. They spread these donations to education for children in general and funded hundreds of programs that otherwise would not have existed for these schools.

"Yes. Not only a natural beauty, but smart and caring beyond belief. She brings out the good things in you, son. I've never seen you this happy before." Sakumo spoke confidently.

Kakashi just silently agreed with his father's observations. Sakura and him had been together for a while now and his father approved of her right away. Those two got along and spent a lot of time together since Sakumo retired and appointed Kakashi as his successor. Sometimes the young CEO felt that his father and her went out on lunch dates more often that they did. Not that he was complaining, he loved that his father and girlfriend got along so well, it was a bond he was glad to witness.

"Plus, she tells me that she often has to get after you for skirting your duties." Sakumo added on.

Kakashi frowned and turned to his father.

"I do not skirt my duties!"

A face splitting grin came across the Hatake elder and a low chuckle followed as a pair of dark gray eyes peered at him out from the corner of his eye.

"I know, I know. I'm just teasing you, son. Let an old man have fun with his golden years, okay?"

Kakashi just rolled his eyes and shook his head with his own smile when Sakumo winked at him.

"Retirement has given you too much free time, dad. You two are probably plotting against me with all those lunches you share."

"Oh, yes! We're plotting on how to get you to finally propose to her." the man continued his teasing.

Kakashi jerked his head back over to his father's before he peeked over at Sakura.

"Don't worry, I'm working on that." Kakashi muttered quietly as he shoved his hands into his pockets, "I'm thinking on our anniversary I'll pop the question."

"Good! She's put up with you this long, you better snag her before it gets too late and she runs for the hills."

Kakashi closed his eyes and chuckled at his father's gentle way of telling him to please settle down. When he reopened them he was suddenly in a different place. He looked around and found he was at home with his father and Sakura and they had been eating dinner in his dining room. He couldn't help but smile at the scene of Sakura and Sakumo sitting next to each other in an in depth conversation and huge grins on both of their faces.

The sudden sound of a boom coming from his front door jarred him. When he turned to look, he saw the guy who tried to shoot him in November, the other guy who crashed into them in January, the two men they fought off on the roof, and Tenzo rushing into his house. Before anyone could react, the first two men pulled out guns and shot both Sakumo and Sakura in the heads.

"No!" he screamed as he jumped up and tried to run to them.

Tenzo had stepped in his path and blocked him from moving, a gun in his own hand and pointed towards him.

"Now that they're out of the way, I can finally get rid of you myself." Tenzo bit out.

Kakashi stared wide eyed up to the man he thought he could trust with his life and then looked over to the bloodied and lifeless bodies of his two most precious people.

"Why?" Kakashi yelled, "Why are you doing this?!"

Tenzo just smiled as he pulled the trigger.

-end flashback-

Kakashi just violently shook his head to rid himself of the mental image that his brain created of his father and Sakura's dead bodies. He hated how he felt his hands twitch suddenly. He gripped the edges of the sink as he refused to look down at them.

'There's no blood if you don't look. You already washed your hands, don't fall back into it. It's been a few weeks now… We're stronger than this.'

He stepped out of the bathroom and looked out the window next to the table and saw the first signs of dawn peeking through the trees outside. He sighed to himself as he walked back into the room and to the fireplace and put a couple more logs onto the dying fire. He was still exhausted and hoped that he could get at least a couple more hours of sleep.

"Kakashi? Are you okay?" the sound of a half asleep Sakura came from behind him.

Dusting off his hands, he stood and turned to her and found her propped up on an elbow as she used her other hand to rub her eyes and brush hair out of her face. She never was graceful with how she slept. It was something he loved.

"I'm fine. I just had to use the bathroom and put some more wood on the fire." he told her as he walked back around the bed and made to get back under the warm covers.

"You look exhausted." she pointed out next as he laid next to her.

"Of course I'm exhausted, we had a horrible day yesterday."

Though she was half asleep, Sakura could see past his half assed attempt of an excuse.

"You're lying." she said as she narrowed her eyes at him and frowned, "You had a nightmare, didn't you? Why didn't you wake me up?"

Kakashi just pursed his lips at how she was able to read him so easily. He took a deep breath and sighed.

"I did and I didn't want to wake you. I'm fine and you need to rest. Let's go back to sleep, darling." he tried to push past the issue at hand as he rolled to her and tried to get her to lay back down with him.

Sakura reluctantly obliged as she settled back down next to him and rested her head on his shoulder.

"What was this one about?" she asked quietly as they laid there.

"The usual." he lied.

He had never told her about how his nightmares had shifted from only about his father to her and now that they included both of them. He didn't want to worry her about this. She was already deeply concerned with his issues of seeing blood on his hands and the excessive hand washing as a result. She was worried about enough as things were now. If she knew that her possible death was plaguing his nightmares, she would only feel worse.

"That's the first one you've had in a while."

"I know, but with recent events it doesn't surprise me to be honest."

There was a moment where neither of them spoke for a while. The room slowly grew brighter and brighter as the sun rose. He thought she had fallen back asleep until she spoke again in barely a whisper.

"I love you."

"I love you too, Sakura. Let's try to get some sleep, okay?"

"Okay."

Sakura and Kakashi stirred awake a few hours later due to the nagging sunlight that shone through the above their bed. They laid there for a while as they woke up, not wanting to do much of anything at the moment.

"So what do we do now?" Kakashi asked at one point, "How long are we going to stay here?"

The bodyguard rolled onto her back and stared up at the ceiling as she informed her boyfriend of her course of action.

"When I acted on that hunch, I wrote out an entire plan. I used that journal you got me for Christmas actually."

"When did you act on the hunch?" he asked next.

"The day Tenzo and I got into it in your office." she stated flatly.

Kakashi sat up then and looked down to her then, his eyes wide.

"That was literally last week."

She just nodded and gave him a sad smile as she sat up herself and brushed her fingers through her messy hair.

"I know. I'm actually surprised at how quickly Shikamaru and Tsunade-shishou were able to get this all together with barely a week to do so."

The CEO just blinked a couple times and looked at her with a baffled look.

"Shikamaru?!"

She simply continued to nod.

"Yes, I enlisted him to help me. When I left the office that day, I grabbed that journal and spent the next few hours just writing and writing in it. What I needed done and what I planned on doing. I didn't dare use my laptop or phone or anything that Tenzo could somehow trace. Then Shikamaru had come out for a glass of water and that's when I proposed this to him." she explained as she did a half stretch, "He immediately agreed to help and I gave him the journal and instructions to go seek out Tsunade outside of work hours and outside of any controlled buildings."

She watched as Kakashi worked through everything she was telling him.

"How could you trust him? What if he's the one who's really trying to kill me?" he asked quietly.

Sakura smiled at that question.

"Easy. He's a lazy man. Shikamaru only does what's required of him and that's it. Plus, I had that same worry in the back of my head, but you and I being here right now actually confirmed his loyalty."

"How so?" he continued his line of questioning.

"Only you, I, him, and Tsunade-shishou know of this location. If he was really trying to kill you, he would've had someone here ready to attack the moment we arrived or someone would've come by to kill us by now. Since neither happened, it's quite easy to assume that he's on our side."

Kakashi nodded a couple times in agreement.

"You're right. He's always been a dedicated employee and friend." he spoke fondly of his advisor, "So what steps do you and I need to take next?"

Sakura sat up straighter and stretched again as she let herself lean against her boyfriend.

"Wait for the next few days while things calm down back in Konoha. We have to stay here for three days before I use that disposable phone I bought and call him at eight in the evening on the third full day here." she recited the plan she had thought out, "That's to signal we are both safe and sound. Once him and Tsunade are aware of that, they will begin the process of locating Tenzo and investigating his whereabouts since he seems to be conveniently gone a lot lately."

Kakashi just nodded along as she continued speaking.

"On the seventh full day, I'll turn the phone back on and we should receive a call back from Shikamaru at eight that evening with an update. If it's good, we'll most likely get to leave and head back home the next day. If it's bad, then we have to go on another adventure to get more supplies and wait out another week or so."

His expression dropped at the mention if things go south and they'll have to continue to hide like this.

"You really thought this out, huh?" he half smirked, "I knew you were sharp, but damn. I never should have doubted you. You're a genius, Sakura."

She felt a half blush creep up at his compliments.

"So, what do you and I do here besides wait to make and receive those calls?" he asked when she didn't reply.

"Nothing. We just kick back and wait it out." she deadpanned, "I had packed a handful of your books to read and bought a couple more while we got supplies if you didn't see that already. Even got us a couple card games for variety."

Kakashi just looked at her like there was more that she wasn't telling him.

"That's it? We just "kick back" and hang out?"

She felt her breathing catch when his expression suddenly turned mischievous and dark, his brow quirking up as a sly smile came to his lips.

'Oh, my…'

"So it's just you and I all alone in this cabin that's secluded from the rest of the world?" he asked as he quirked a silver brow higher at her.

Sakura furrowed her brow at him then and gave him a half smile.

"Yeah…?" she answered.

"No interference whatsoever?"

Bright green eyes narrowed at him then as her smile grew.

"What are you trying to get at?" she asked in an amused tone.

Kakashi just smirked then as he closed his eyes and laid back down, crossing his arms behind his head as he did.

"Nothing really. I'm pointing out that I essentially get a week vacation with the love of my life undisturbed for the first time since we got together is all."

Sakura had half turned as he laid back down and was smiling big as he spoke.

"I suppose you're correct."

"And we can't do anything really besides hang around the cabin and read books, play cards, nap, eat, and have heart felt talks…" he continued.

Sakura was just grinning at him at this point.

"That sounds about right, yes."

"And maybe make sweet, sweet love to each other too?" he added with a cheeky wink and smirk.

Sakura gasped quietly before she giggled and leaned down to kiss him.

"Now that sounds very right." she continued giggling as she pushed the blankets aside and climbed on top of him.

Kakashi couldn't help the low groan that left him as he felt all the blood rush south as she grinded down onto him a couple times. He loved this new, more intimate side of their relationship. Lazy kisses, laughs, and giggles were shared between them as they rolled around on the bed and took their time removing the offending clothing and fully enjoying each other.

It was a nice distraction for them. All the stress and worry could be forgotten temporarily as they let out some steam.

"Where'd you put the condoms when you unpacked?" he asked as he kissed up her thigh after removing her panties.

He felt Sakura stiffen under him.

"What?" she asked out loud as she shifted and propped herself up on her elbows.

Kakashi paused his ministrations to peer up at her in confusion from his spot between her legs.

"The condoms? Where are they?"

He watched as the pinkettes face paled suddenly before she dropped back onto the bed and covered her face as she whined in a quiet whisper.

"Oh my god, I didn't pack any condoms…"

Now it was Kakashi's turn to be upset as he sat up the rest of the way.

"What? You didn't pack any?"

Sakura kept her face covered as she brought her knees up to her chest and started to roll away.

"No, I didn't! We weren't having sex yet when I packed the ready bag last week!" she whimpered into her hands, "It wasn't high on my list to grab the box from the nightstand or buy any yesterday either!"

Kakashi just let his head fall forward in defeat. Here they were both naked in bed and seconds away from having sex and they were without a condom.

"And we won't be able to get any for at least another six days…" he mumbled as he looked down at his naked girlfriend and sighed, "Well, we were able to go without for nearly three months, I'm sure we can wait six days."

"Wait, I have an idea." Sakura quickly shot out as she removed her hands from her face and turned to face Kakashi.

"What's that?" he asked as he studied her.

"We can still technically have sex." she said with a deep blush.

Now he looked lost.

"But we don't ha-"

"We can have sex without a condom." Sakura interrupted him.

Kakashi's expression dropped and looked slightly pained.

"Sakura… it's not safe to have unprotected sex. We're not married or engaged…"

She just frowned at him as he spoke.

"I'm on birth control, you know that. That alone gives us a ninety nine percent safeguard and… well… if you pull out… it'll basically be a hundred percent." she reasoned as she blushed more and looked away, "Plus, I-I'm… okay with going without one since it's you."

There was an awkward pause before he spoke up. It was an extremely awkward conversation to be having to begin with. She didn't want to come off as needy, but they had their options.

"I've never had unprotected sex before, you know."

Sakura looked up and just half gawked at this revelation he told her.

"Never?" she asked back, "Usually men try to go without a condom whenever they can."

He nodded in agreement and the subtle blush on his cheeks didn't go unnoticed by her.

'He looks slightly embarrassed!'

"Given my position, you know, at the time I was an eventual heir of a multi-million dollar investment company and you can't fool around unprotected with that kind of future waiting for you. My dad, he hounded that into my head the moment I turned sixteen. It's common sense to wear protection too." he explained, "And… given my dating history, protection was a definite must."

Sakura just nodded as he explained. It made perfect sense for him to take all of those precautions.

"But," he continued to speak as he made to move over her and leaned down to kiss her, "you made a good point."

Sakura just hummed before she pulled back from the kiss.

"I did?" she whispered the question.

Kakashi moved to kiss along her jaw and down her neck.

"That I don't need to protect myself when it comes to you." he mumbled as a hand trailed down her side to her hip, "Why? That's because I don't plan on being with anyone else but you ever again."

Sakura let out a shaky breath at his confession before she could stop the moan that followed.

"You're really going to put up with me forever?" she playfully teased as she brought her hands up and ran her fingers through his mop of silver hair.

Kakashi didn't reply right away as he kissed his way back up to her lips.

"Shouldn't I be the one asking that?" he teased back as he sat up and looked down to her.

Sakura just laughed as Kakashi reached for her knees and encouraged her to spread her legs open. She easily allowed him to guide them apart while his hands trailed up towards her core and stroked her a couple times.

"Ahh…!" she moaned loudly as his thumb flicked over her clit before he inserted one then two fingers into her and started pumping her slowly.

A low groan came from him. She opened her eyes and lifted her head to look down at him, she found his free hand slowly stroking his rapidly hardening cock as he continued to finger her. She felt herself get light headed at the erotic scene unfolding between her legs as another whimper left her as the pleasure coursed through her.

"God, Sakura… You look so beautiful right now." he growled as he pulled his fingers out of her and she felt the mattress dip as he positioned himself closer to her, "Hand me that pillow."

Sakura obeyed and reached beside her and grabbed his pillow and handed it to him. She squeaked when he suddenly lifted her hips and folded and tucked it under her ass and rested her back down onto it so she was more angled up towards him. Before she could ask what he was doing, she stifled another loud moan as he rubbed the tip of his cock between her soaked folds.

"Kakashi…" she whimpered as he continued the tortuous process of letting his head bump against her clit over and over.

She gasped when she felt him finally slide back and push against her entrance as he started to enter her. Sakura reached up and grasped the pillow under her head as he pulled out and entered her again and hit her directly over that sweet spot inside her. Now she understood why he wanted her in this position because he knew exactly what he was aiming for and she couldn't be more thankful.

"Holy shit…" he gasped as he repeated the process a couple more times before he finally started up a steady pace, "You feel so good, Sakura. Fuck… I thought for a second I was gonna lose it."

The pinkette couldn't help the sweet giggle that left her at his admission. She felt amazing and she was overjoyed that he felt equally as good during this.

"I'm so glad I can make you feel good." she smiled as she opened her eyes to watch him as he pumped into her faster.

"What do you mean? You always make me feel good." he grunted as he hooked his hands under he knees and pushed them up further as he leaned over her more.

Sakura whimpered as he started hitting that sweet spot again as he pounded into her harder.

Kakashi was slowly losing himself as the waves of pleasure shot through him. He knew sex was good without the condom, but damn, he had been missing out. He was happy he had waited this long to experience it with the right person though. He was thankful he played it safe for all the years he's been sexually active and that he found the one he hoped to spend forever with, this was the best example he could give to her.

He wasn't sure how much longer he could hold out if he kept up this pace while Sakura continued to moan and whimper under him. He let go of his hold on her knees and tightly grasped her hips as he rolled them over so she was on top.

"You need to warn me before you do that!" Sakura scolded him between her pants for air.

"Sorry, love." Kakashi hummed his apology.

Sakura seemed to know what he was hoping for as she began to roll her hips while pumping herself up and down him. He just groaned as he watched her work her magic on him. She let her hands trail over her body as they made their way up to massage her breasts.

He bucked up at one point and it caused her to gasp and fall forward, barely catching and balancing herself on his chest.

"I'm so close… Tell me when you're close too." she panted as she started moving faster on him.

Before he could get a reply out, Sakura cried loudly as she gripped his biceps in a near death grip and felt her clamp around him.

"Oh, hmm, fuck…" he groaned loudly while biting his lip as she kept pumping herself up and down on him.

He gritted his teeth as he forced himself to hold back so she could ride out her climax before he came himself, but he was quickly losing that battle.

"Sakura…" he tried to speak but trailed off as he felt himself suddenly tighten.

Suddenly he felt Sakura lift herself up and off him and scramble off his lap. He reached down to finish himself, but felt her slap his hand away. He opened his eyes and watched as she grabbed his cock and began pumping before she bent the rest of the way over him and took him in her mouth.

"Holy shit!" he yelled as the sudden bliss from her hot wet mouth overtook him.

He couldn't pry his eyes off her as he watched her bob up and down as she took him deeper and deeper. He let out a shaky breath as she released him with a pop as she stroked him a couple more times before she stuck her tongue out and ran it from the base of him up to the head before taking him in again. He felt the head of his cock hit the back of her throat and suddenly felt his balls tighten painfully, his climax coming any second.

"I'm gonna…" he groaned as reached down and tried to warn her, but she only swatted his hand away again.

He dropped his head back against the pillow as he lost control. He felt himself twitch as he came inside her mouth.

"Oh fuck, Sakura!" he moaned loudly and finally succumbed to the euphoria.

He had experienced a decent amount of blow jobs in his life, but he'd never been finished off with one. He never had a woman take all of him like that before.

Once the initial high passed, he took a deep breath and propped himself up on his elbows and looked towards Sakura to find that she was sat up and was wiping her mouth with the back of her hand. He groaned as he realized why she was doing that. She had taken it all and without a single complaint.

"Hi." she whispered with a smile when their eyes met.

"Did, did you…?" he barely managed to get out as he sat up the rest of the way.

"I did, yes." she replied, answering his barely there question while she moved and straddled his lap again.

Kakashi circled his arms around her waist as she rested her own arms on his shoulders and ran her fingers through his hair. He looked up to her with a quirked brow as he asked his next question.

"Why?"

Sakura just smirked back as she leaned in and kissed him gently.

"Why not?" she whispered confidently when she pulled back.

The CEO just hugged her tighter as he rolled them forward and smothered her in kisses as they went. Sakura squealed and laughed as he began tickling her sides and continued the barrage of kisses.

"Definitely not meek and submissive." he grinned as she hugged him close once he was finished with the loving assault, "I love a strong and bold woman."

"I love you too, darling." she mumbled happily as she gave him a big kiss on the cheek.
