Hey everyone! It’s me again with another chapter. It was supposed to be my last but guess what? It’s not! Funny how stories have a tendency to stretch out. Thank you to my 3 man crew! (Serenanna, Cynchick and uzumakihinata) I love you guys. Anyways, on with the story.
P.S. RATED M! The language here is pretty strong. You’ve been warned. Oh, and I don't own Naruto!

Gossip
As soon as she rapped her knuckles on the door, she began to count quickly to ten, hoping that the Copy Nin wouldn’t open the door before she reached the final number so she could high tail it out of there and tell Sakura that she had, at least, made an attempt to patch things up. She had almost reached her goal when the door abruptly swung open to reveal a shower dampened and half naked Kakashi dressed only in Jounin pants and a piece of dark cloth tied over his lower face.
The silver haired shinobi stared at his visitor for a moment in disbelief. What the hell was she doing here? This was even worse than finding Naruto at his door. Apparently, making him out to be gay, impotent, and in love with Gai, while having a secret, woods-dwelling lover on the side had not been enough for her and she had come to rub salt in his wounds. Well, if she thought he was going to give her that kind of satisfaction, she was dead wrong and she might as well just take her gossiping ass home.
Ino had not expected to be confronted with Kakashi’s bare torso. She had spent weeks trying to get a good look at his body and now here it was…well, some of it anyway, and she found herself slightly distracted by it. The sinewy muscle beneath his skin looked firm and appealing and she knew that despite the absence of bigger, bulkier muscle, his body was capable of incredible strength.
“Um…hi,” The blonde said awkwardly, dragging her gaze from his chest to his half covered face.
“What do you want?” Kakashi growled angrily. “Haven’t you done enough today, or did you come here personally to give me a heads up on the next bull shit story you intend to spread about me?”
“Look, it’s not like that!” Ino replied defensively, not liking how he immediately threw her actions back in her face, but the next thing she was about to say was, for some reason, much harder to voice than she had thought. “I…I came here to…to apologize.”
“Is that so?” He replied, sounding like he didn’t believe her in the least as he crossed his arms over his chest and leaned against the doorframe.
“Yes Kakashi, it is.” She said evenly, trying to fight down the anger and annoyance that was rising inside her. She didn’t expect him to trust her or even treat her kindly after what she had done, but he could at least humor her and pretend like he was going to listen to her apology since it wasn’t exactly easy for her to swallow her pride. If it hadn’t been for Sakura’s earlier threats to finish the task, she would have turned on her heel and stormed away angrily.
“I just wanted to say that I’m…I’m…”
She glanced around nervously, turquoise eyes scanning the empty streets for prying eyes, suddenly feeling exposed and a little vulnerable in the public view of his door step. The angry clouds and impending rain had caused most of Konoha’s resident’s to take refuge indoors, but Ino didn’t want her apology interrupted.
“Well?” Kakashi prodded impatiently, clearly not enjoying her company any more than she was his.
“Can we take this inside? I don’t exactly want to do this in front of an audience.”
Kakashi eyed her warily, as if trying to assess whether she was being genuine or was simply trying to get into his pants again. Ino didn’t blame him for being suspicious, but thought he was being a little presumptuous just the same. Who the hell would want to sleep with a man who had just thrown them out on their ass? It would take a lot more than a well muscled body to change her mind about him and the blonde medic doubted he was eager to take any steps to do so.
For a moment, Kakashi considered slamming the door in her face and going straight to bed for some much needed rest. It wasn’t like she didn’t deserve it. Yet, in the end, despite his better judgment, he wordlessly stood aside to allow her to pass by him and into his home before shutting the door behind him.
Ino found herself in the very room she had broken into the night before, lit only by the dim light of a bedside reading lamp. His bed was still made so she hadn’t woken him up and the bathroom door was open, giving her a glimpse of the steam that still covered the mirror. The one window in the room was open, filling the space with the same humidity and scent of coming rain as outside.
“Alright Ino, what did you want to say?”
The Copy Nin’s curt question broke her out her observations and she turned around to find him with his back to the door and arms still crossed over his chest. Despite his relaxed looking slouch, she could feel the tension in the air around him and it was obvious her presence wasn’t exactly welcome.
Fidgeting slightly, she kept her eyes downcast as she tried to formulate the words to say.
“Well…I…um…I mean…I wanted to say…”
She could hear Kakashi heave an irritated sigh from his place at the door. Why was it so easy to find words when they had hurtful effects, yet, when it came time to make amends, she could think of nothing to say? Apologies required a degree of humbleness and humility and Ino had never been very good at shouldering either of those things. Maybe she would have been better off not coming here at all and facing Sakura’s wrath in the morning.
Taking a deep breath, the blonde raised her eyes to meet his. She would get through this because quitting now would only mean being hauled back by her green eyed friend later.
“I’m sorry.” She said quietly. “I shouldn’t have said those things about you just because I was angry. I’ll do my best to reverse the rumors tomorrow.”
There. She had done her part. She had even made it sound sincere and she supposed on some level it was, although she wasn’t sure if she regretted actually ruining his life or ruining any chance she had of bedding him.
She waited quietly, hoping that he too would admit he was wrong to act so harshly the night before so they could go on about their lives and actually act civil to one another if they were assigned to a future mission together.
“Is that all?”
The impatience was evident in his voice as he leaned against the door. He hadn’t moved a muscle since she had come inside, but she could sense his body was still tight with tension. Was that really all he had to say to her? He hadn’t even accepted her apology, but just wished to hurry her right out the door. Apparently, he didn’t care at all that she was here making an attempt to set things right by pushing her pride aside and admitting she was wrong. Well, it wasn’t like she was the only one at fault and she wasn’t about to slink away with her tail between her legs.
“What the hell do you mean ‘Is that all?’? Ino said angrily, taking a step towards him. “I am trying to fix what I messed up so you could at least act like you give a damn!”
“Saying you’re sorry isn’t going to fix anything Ino.” Kakashi said quietly, raising his head from its slightly bowed position. Even in the dim light, she could see his uncovered Sharingan clearly and was simultaneously fascinated and intimidated by it. She had never seen it close up and couldn’t tear her gaze away from the fearsome weapon that was responsible for both his nickname of Konoha’s Copy ninja and the fame that came with it.
“People are going to think what they want to think and the stories you’ve created are far more interesting than the truth. You’ve done more than enough to me today, so I don’t need to hear anything else from you.”
For a moment there was nothing but silence in the room as the blonde absorbed his cutting words, too surprised to do anything at first, but gradually, Ino’s shocked expression quickly melted into rage. She had mustered up her courage and humbled herself to come to him while wracking her brain for the right words to say, and what did he do? Blow her off and tell her that nothing she said even mattered! Stalking up to him despite the intimidating Sharingan that seemed to almost glow in the faint light, she jabbed a finger none too gently into his chest as she spoke.
“Look, you asshole! It’s not like I’m the only one who has done something wrong, but at least I can admit it even if you are too pig headed to listen to a word of it.”
Kakashi, who had remained immobile until now, moved faster than her eyes were able to track, shooting his arm out to wrap his fingers around her wrist and stopping her mid jab.
“That’s funny,” He said tightly, looking down into her surprised face. “Because last time I checked, you were the one nicknamed Ino-Pig.”
His underhanded comment once again left her speechless, but didn’t stop her from using the hand not restrained by him to strike out and slap him hard across the face, his head whipping to the side with the force of the blow. The sound of her palm hitting his cheek echoed in the quiet room and, for a moment, time seemed to stop as Kakashi stood there, face still turned and eyes obscured by damp, messy hair.
Ino’s heart was beating wildly in her chest, her rage dwindling as she wondered if she had finally gone too far. Without Sakura around to conveniently intervene, Kakashi was free to do his worst, and knowing how skilled the elite Jounin was, the blonde had little hope of escaping his wrath.The silence ticked by but the Copy Nin neither moved, nor relinquished his grip on her wrist. When the quiet was finally shattered, his voice was soft and low, but held an edge to it that was unmistakably dangerous.
“Are you satisfied now Ino?”
The aqua eyed ninja tried to pull away but he held his iron grip on her that was uncomfortable, but not yet painful. When she said nothing, he continued.
“You’ve said your peace and gotten in your blow. I imagine that would complete your childish and petty form of revenge so if you have no more business here, you should leave.”
The purple clad woman could only stare in astonishment at the taller man’s face, his eyes still obscured by his hair, but she had seen his lips move clearly. She hadn’t come for revenge god damn it! She had come to apologize and he had disdainfully tossed her efforts back in her face without offering an apology of his own.
Angrily, she jerked her arm from his grip and he allowed her to break free, but rather than leave his residence like he requested, she gave into the rage that was burning white hot inside, despite the gut feeling that warned that she should get away while she still could.
“You’re a fucking bastard.” She hissed. “Do you really think you’re blameless after kissing me like the sex starved man you are and then throwing me out when I came to do you a favor?”
The Copy Nin gave a short, humorless laugh as he finally turned his face back to her, a red spot already blooming over his cheek from where she had struck him. His black eye was cold and hard and the Sharingan remained unchanged no matter what emotions were boiling inside of him. Ino found the crimson orb unnerving, but was too angry to back down now, even when he leaned in closer to her, his aura of anger and strong presence nearly overwhelming.
“Don’t kid yourself. We both know the only reason you were in my house is because you thought I’d be a decent fuck. Sorry to break it to you, but I don’t invite just anyone into my bed, especially females that act likes bitches in heat.”
The blonde medic might have winced at his hard words, especially since they came from a man whose vocabulary was usually much less explicit but, instead, they only served to anger her more. A bitch in heat, that’s what he thought of her? She had been captivated by him, fascinated and, yes, she had taken persistence to a whole new level by following him around, but he had no right to call her names. Even though she knew full well that starting a fight with him in his own apartment was one of the stupidest things she could do, she lashed out anyway, aiming a punch straight for his solar plexus and connecting only with air as her target nimbly moved out of the way.
“Take that back!” she cried as she wheeled to strike again.
Even a blind man would be able to see she was spitting mad, but Kakashi hadn’t expected her to be so irrational as to start a fist fight in his bedroom.
“What the hell is WRONG with you?” Kakashi growled, fending off another punch with the back of his forearm as she spun quickly to attack once more. He felt the blow reverberate through his entire arm and knew he’d be sporting one hell of a bruise tomorrow. Had Asuma honed her skills this much or was this due to newly gained chakra control as a medic? Either way, it hurt like hell. There wasn’t much room to maneuver in the small room and the last thing he wanted was the irate female punching through one of his bedroom walls.
Dodging another blow, he moved behind her quickly and wrenched an arm behind her back while kicking her feet out from under her. He wrapped an arm around her waist so she wouldn’t hit the floor quite so hard when she went down since she wouldn’t be able to catch herself with her free hand.
Positioning her face down on the floor, he pressed his body on top of hers to keep her pinned in place. This was utterly ridiculous. Was she really so senseless that she thought starting a sparring match in his home was going to solve anything? So his words had been a little harsh…so what? They were true. All he had wanted to do was shower and go to bed, and now he had to subdue the woman responsible for making his life utterly miserable in the first place. Why couldn’t she leave well enough alone?
The woman beneath him still struggled beneath him, but the painful angle of her arm behind her back kept her resistance to a minimum. He could feel her pulse beating against his fingers as he maintained a firm grim on her wrist, fast, but not wild. Her cheek was pressed against the hard wood of his flood and although her long blonde bangs covered her face, Kakashi could see her pretty face was flushed and filled with anger.
“What’s gotten into you? I thought you’d be in a good mood seeing how well your plan to humiliate me worked.” The elite ninja growled against her ear.
“I told you I was sorry about that!” Ino spit heatedly. “I, unlike you, seem to have a heart.”
After her words, there was silence, broken only by the sound of raspy breath escaping lungs as she felt the pressure of his thighs on either side of body and the warm press of his bare chest against her back. His calloused fingers splayed over her stomach where he had supported her felt surprisingly good, but she would never admit it too him. The good feeling was countered anyway by the arm that was starting to throb from where it was sandwiched between their torsos, but the pain seemed insignificant as she waiting for a response to her cutting remark.
“A heart is a luxury most ninja can’t afford.” Kakashi replied stonily, the warm breath that washed over her ear contrasting with his cold voice. “Having a heart will get you killed.”
‘Ever the diligent solider,’ Ino thought bitterly, understanding now more than ever that her efforts were a waste of time, both in pursuing him and coming to apologize.
“I guess that explains why women never come near you. They can sense your ‘fuck off’ vibe from across the room.”
If her words angered the Copy ninja, he didn’t show it but continued to press her into the floor silently. The heat radiating off his body surrounded her and she thought that maybe in another place and time, this intimate position, minus the uncomfortable twisting of her arm, might actually have been quite pleasant.
Gradually, his grip on her loosened and she was able to pull her arm into a more comfortable position, wincing at the numbness in her limb as blood began to return to it. She felt his chest lift from her back but his weight didn’t leave her completely. She couldn’t see his face from where she way lying but she could feel his eyes on her.
Slowly, she wriggled herself onto her back and to her surprise he let her, taking just enough of his weight off of her so she could maneuver before settling back down again. She found that she had been right in guessing he was looking at her and stared right back as he regarded her with one red eye and one black. However, even with his second eye uncovered, the silver haired man’s thoughts remained a mystery to the woman beneath him, although she had become acutely aware of the way he was now straddling her hips.
Kakashi examined the face of the woman beneath him, her turquoise eyes alight with the fires of anger but also something else. Was it youthful vivacity? Certain exuberance? Whatever it was, he guessed that his own eyes had lost such a luster long ago. She was still young and fresh, even if slightly jaded thanks to her choice of careers involving sweat and tears and plenty of blood. But she was raised in a period of peace and couldn’t possibly relate to a lifetime filled with war and violence. If she could have just a glimpse of it and all the people he had lost, she would understand why his heart was nothing more than an organ beating in his chest and all romantic endeavors were lived vicariously through the books he read.
And yet, he couldn’t deny that even after everything she’d done to him, even though there were moments today he had thought he would hate her until the day he died or until he killed her first, he found her quite beautiful and still seemed to captivate him in some unknown way. That feeling was growing harder to ignore as he sat atop her hips, his palms planted on the wooden floor on either side of her head as he leaned forward to examine just what it was about her that made her so alluring…and so infuriating.
Her features were softened by the dim light of his reading lamp and only seemed to amplify her beauty, her lips looking full and soft, her skin smooth, and her hair, though spread out everywhere, sleek. He imagined she had taken to trying her hardest to seduce him out of simple curiosity that was peaked by his impromptu kiss. Well, he had the urge to satisfy some curiosities of his own. What would those lips feel like? Taste like? And all that skin she had shown him yesterday…would she be willing to show it again?
Kakashi suddenly realized the dangerous path his thoughts had started to travel down and shut them away quickly as his confusion mounted. Where had that come from? Hadn’t he been mad at her a second ago? Well, he supposed he still was both mad AND aroused. It was probably due to the fact that he was currently sitting on top of her in a position reserved for more…er…intimate things and that her piercing eyes and parted lips looked tempting beneath him, a little TOO tempting. It was time to send her home.
“Ino, I trust you’ve calmed down enough so as not to try and attack me in my own home. I think it’s time you headed back to yours.”The blonde’s eye’s narrowed to slits of aquamarine. So that was it, was it? There would be no acknowledgment of her apology or one offered by him in return. He would just send her on her way and chances were they would never speak of this again, although every time they met there would be tension between them so heavy, it would nearly be tangible.
“Fine”
Wordlessly, he moved off her and allowed the blonde to pull herself to her feet. He regarded her a moment longer as she straightened her purple attire. Why did he continue to desire a woman who caused him so much trouble? It didn’t make any sense to him and he figured it never would, but even as his anger burned, he could feel lust bubbling beneath its surface as he recalled the way she had spread herself out on his bed last night. The urge to throw her down on that very same bed and relieve all his frustrations was mounting. If she had any sense at all, she would leave quickly.
She walked the short distance to the door and Kakashi silently watched her movements as she reached for the doorknob.“Kakashi,” she said quietly without turning around, her eyes focus on the painted wood in front of her.
“Hmm…?”
“How does it feel being a complete asshole? Does it feel good? Satisfying?”
Even now, as her hand was turning the knob, she was trying to get under his skin. She obviously didn’t expect an answer, but he planned to give her one anyway that wouldn’t leave her with the last laugh.
He leaned against the nearest wall, adopting his usual lazy slouch as he spoke.
“I expect it feels the same as being a gossiping, lying, ill intentioned, manipulative bitch.” He answered calmly, his voice betraying none of the smirk that had formed on his lips beneath the fabric covering them.
The hand that had been on the doorknob froze and then fell away. Her head turned to look at him and for a moment, he could see traces of hurt on her face which almost made him regret what he had said…almost.
“What did you say?” she whispered.
“You heard me fine Ino. I don’t need to repeat it.”
“You’re a bigger prick than I thought.” She hissed, the hurt quickly dissipating as anger contorted her features once again. It was obvious her plan to leave had been postponed and Kakashi couldn’t help but feel a small bit of triumph. Was that why he had said what he had said even though he knew it would hurt? Has he been planning this?
She was advancing on him now, blinded by rage caused by such a personal insult. Briefly the Copy Nin wondered how she managed to keep her cool while on assignment because it didn’t take much for him to get her so worked up. She stopped when they were nearly toe to toe and for a second, just looked at him, her eyes boring into his but he unflinchingly met her infuriated gaze head on.
Ino couldn’t believe he had the balls to say that to her face. Yes, she was all those things at one point or another but he seemed to refuse to see deeper, to acknowledge there was more to her. He saw what he wanted to see and dismissed the rest and it infuriated her. Not even her attempt to apologize had changed his mind any and Ino had finally had enough. He thought she was a bitch? Fine, she would be a bitch. Maybe then he would be satisfied.
Drawing chakra into a clenched fist, she cocked back her arm and intended to deliver a blow that probably would have shattered his jaw if it had connected as intended. Fortunately for Kakashi, his uncovered Sharingan saw it coming.
He disappeared a split second before impact, leaving her off balance as she followed through with the punch that had missed its target only to reappear behind her. She tried to turn around but the silver haired man was far too fast for her. Before she knew what was happening, he grabbed a fistful of the back of her purple top and shoved her roughly against the wall he had just been leaning against.
Ino barely had time to bring her hands up to keep her face from being smashed into wood. Immediately she felt her opponent’s body behind her, pressing her so firmly against the vertical surface that she had to turn her head to the side to keep him from breaking her nose. Even with her palms flat against the wall, no amount of pushing back would shake him off of her unless she wanted to push down the whole wall which, at this point, clearly wasn’t an option.
“I thought you were smart enough not to start another fight with me here.” Kakashi growled against her ear. “Apparently I was mistaken.”
“Let me go, you bastard. You’ve proved your point. I’m no match for you.” The medic ground out between gritted teeth. It was pathetic how easily she’d been beaten, but she should have known Kakashi was way out of her league.
Instead of moving away, he only leaned in closer, placing the palm of his free hand against the wall on the outside of hers. She could hear the rasp of his breath; feel it washing over her anger flushed skin. Their proximity suddenly felt way too close and she wanted to be away from him and the privacy of his room.
“Kakashi?” she said with a little less venom as she tried to turn further and look at him. Quickly, the hand on her back traveled upwards to wrap around the base of her ponytail and jerk her head back to its previous position with enough force to make her neck ache at the sudden movement.
His actions drew a soft gasp from the blonde, which was only accentuated by the sudden feel of his cloth covered lips ghosting over her ear as he spoke.
“You’ve been following me around for quite some time Ino with one goal in mind.”
He paused in his words to let his nose nuzzle the shell of her ear and felt her body tense as he did so.
“You’ve teased me relentlessly and I must say, I’m tired of resisting. I think I’m finally going to allow you to have what you want.”
The kunoichi couldn’t help her surprised gasp at his words. She had almost given up the thought of Kakashi desiring to have sexual relations with anyone but his right hand and his orange jacketed books. Now, out of the blue, when she hadn’t even done anything to provoke it, he wanted her? One minute they had been fighting and the next, he was all set to go? Well that was just too bad because she had decided she no longer wanted anything to do with a shinobi like Kakashi Hatake.
“Well that’s too bad, because I DON’T want it!” Ino hissed angrily. “Let me go!”
“Oh, I think I can change your mind.” The Copy ninja murmured against her skin, his voice taking on a tone that was…dare she say, seductive?
“Your presumptuous, egotistical attitude has more than made up my mind. Get your hands off of me!”
Instead of heeding her demands, Kakashi turned her head with the hand in her hair so that her forehead was now resting against the cool surface of the wall, giving him access to the small bit of skin at the base of her neck that wasn’t covered up by the collar of her top.
Ino had to fight to keep her breathing even as she felt masked lips press to the nape of her neck as the hand against the wall moved to play over her naked stomach, tickling and caressing the soft skin around her belly button.
“So now what?” she breathed huskily, her body starting to feel the affects of his hands in spite of herself. “You rape me to get your revenge?”
Kakashi chuckled against her neck in amusement as his hand began to stroke high on her abdomen, his heated breath making her skin prickle into gooseflesh. “I would never use force Ino, but it’s pretty obvious to me you already want this.”
She swallowed hard as his fingers brushed the bottom hem of her shirt and she silently hoped she could hold out long enough to prove that he was wrong.
