Repressed
The corridor was dark and endless, the echoes of her heels clipping the floor bounced around the walls as Rin made her way by the never ending row of dimly lit glass doors. She could hear the moans and cries of agony from within as she passed each one. The shadows of the people trapped in their clinical prisons threw themselves at the glass begging her to save them from a fate worse than death, demanding release from the torture they suffered.
Pulling her long white coat around her chest in a bid to shield herself from their pleas Rin marched on knowing she couldn’t help them but still felt that nauseating wad of guilt begin to grow and breed in her stomach. She couldn’t lie to them anymore; she couldn’t stomach the look of hope on their faces when she told them they were going to be okay. She couldn’t cope with the glares of hatred from their families when they knew she was lying. She could no longer stand the thought that this place was driving her slowly insane. If she had to watch one more person slowly die she would shatter. All she could do was keep walking.
She continued her journey down the long dark corridor, a flickering light in the distance for which she was heading never getting brighter making it seem she wasn’t getting any closer to her exit until she reached a door to her right that was open. She paused before it simply looking at how the light poured out of the opening and spread along the dirty floor like spilled sewage. Tiny dust particles danced like gnats in the filthy glow which drew her eyes to the room within and enticed her to enter against her will.
The room was barely lit with a single fading bulb that hung low from the water stained ceiling like a dying candle, its waning light shining down on a bed in the centre of the shadow cloaked area. Its frame was rusted and brittle and the mattress worn flat and soiled. She noted a nostalgic scent of wild trees in the air mingled with the sickly sweet stench of fresh blood as she noticed the cloth draped over the top of the bed completely shrouding what could only be a body beneath it.
Rin stepped towards it, once, twice, three times. The motion of her legs was slow and sluggish like she was walking through treacle. Eventually she reached the side of the bed, that overpowering smell of blood and woodland invading her nostrils as she took the clipboard from its holder attached to the frame. The message it held was mostly garbled and illegible but a name stood out from the centre of the nonsensical symbols: Tanokai Satoshi.
She stood and stared at the name on the board for what felt like an eternity feeling the sorrow swell in her throat until she allowed her eyes to drift back to the cloth that covered the corpse lying on its disgusting rusty bed. She lowered the clipboard to her side as she dared to reach for the tarp corner closest to the head of the corpse with her free hand. Twining her fingers into the stained damp fabric she swept it back with a force so strong she could feel the draft from it on her legs as it fell to the floor, but nothing prepared her for the horror of what she saw lying on that bed.
It wasn’t the man whose name was displayed on the board. With his body wasted away to nothing but skin and bone, the flesh on his face plagued with horrific sores and decayed to the point where she could see teeth through the skin of his cheek. His clothes were torn and so filthy they looked melted onto him. That one onyx eye staring wide and lifeless into the light of the fading bulb the other a deep shaft sunk into the back of his skull where his ultimate weapon used to be and that shock of silver hair matted with congealed blood and dirt. It was Kakashi lying on that soiled decrepit bed, lying there – dead.
The grief swept over her like a tsunami, the raw power of her sorrow had no words to describe it as she just stood there and took in what she saw, her own will to live suddenly becoming meaningless. She felt the air leave her lungs as she went to step back but she couldn’t move. Her entire body was frozen, her feet rooted to the spot where she stood and her sights trained on that dark cold dead eye willing him to breathe to take just one life giving breath yet knowing he couldn’t. She didn’t want to see any more, she didn’t want to see the lifeless afflicted body of her soul mate laying there like a piece of rotten meat on a butchers slab but she couldn’t look away, her body wouldn’t let her.
She couldn’t breathe; she could hear herself struggling for air as the atmosphere in the room became dense and stifling causing the panic to froth into her gullet as the room seemed to close in around her. She couldn’t believe what she was seeing, didn’t want to believe it and she raised her arm to lift the clipboard back to her eyes to make sure that this wasn’t some kind of mistake, that it was definitely a different name on the board to the man that was lying in front of her.
Rin lowered her head to discover that she was no longer holding the clipboard but in one hand she held a bloodied scalpel and in the other a human eye. She recognised the fleshy sphere immediately as she gingerly turned her hand over feeling the optic nerve that sprouted from the eye slip through the gaps in her fingers. The iris was deep red in colour with two distinctive tomoe embedded in that ring of fire near the pupil.
Her hands were shaking and dripping with the blood of whom she wasn’t sure as she stared down at the glassy orb knowing what she had to do but dreading the means of having to do it. She noticed then her once pristine white medical coat was now splattered with the same congealing substance as that on her hands. She could feel it soaked through her clothes making them stick to her skin, making her body itch and she could feel it dripping from her onto her feet.
Was it her blood? Was it Kakashi’s? She didn’t know and all her ignorance did was force the fear to swill in the pit of her gut making her feel sick. She wanted to get out of here, to just turn on her heel and run as fast as she could until when she didn’t care but her feet didn’t belong to her anymore, just lead weights attached to the ends of her legs.
Suddenly the bulb hanging from the ceiling pulsated throwing painfully bright light into the room and Rin discovered that she wasn’t standing in a room at all; she was in a cave, the space made much smaller and cramped than she first thought by the enormous rocks that surrounded her. Rin heard herself whimper as she looked around herself wanting to be anywhere but here and suddenly feeling very small, powerless and like an important part of her had just that second withered and died when she saw the body on the rusted bed stir. Her head pivoted on her neck to see Kakashi still lying on the dirty mattress in the state he was in before but very much alive.
He was crying. The proof lying not only in the tears that left clean streaks running down his decayed cheek and the agony displayed by the grimace on his face but by the choking sobs that wracked his entire body and caused him to drag the air back into his lungs in quick whooping and desperate gasps.
“Please,” she heard herself beg in a voice that didn’t sound like her own as she lifted the two objects in her blood drenched hands and offered them to the man on the bed. “Please, don’t make me do this.”
Kakashi ignored her, either that or he hadn’t heard her over the sound of his own painful cries. Rin could do nothing but stand and watch as Kakashi raised both arms from his sides pressed the balls of his hands into his eyes and emitted a blood curdling scream. The force of it was so powerful it caused him to arch his back off the bed and it was so loud and piercing it stung Rin’s ears forcing her to flinch against it as she felt shards of ice plunge into her veins. He didn’t stop for air as he slammed his fists back into the bed which made a sound similar to a door swinging shut when caught in a breeze before everything within sight blurred into a brilliant white-
The explosive noise in her head caused Rin to jolt awake, her entire body jerking from the bed as though an electric current surged through her. Her eyes sprang open so wide it was painful before bolting upright and dragging in a loud and deep whooping breath like she had just surfaced from the depths of a very deep lake.
She sat there gasping for air, able to feel her own heart pulsating painfully in her chest as droplets from the cold sweat coursed over her neck and down her back. The dream was still vividly fresh in her mind and the first thing she did was drag her arms out of the duvet and hold them in front of her eyes looking for the blood she had seen only seconds ago. Her entire body shook terribly and her fingers twitched with frayed nerves as she examined them closely in the dim light turning them over twice and noticing the sheen of perspiration on her skin.
Upon discovering no blood or scalpel or anything else for that matter and realising that she was actually in a warm soft bed in a hotel room Rin lowered her hands back to the sheets and sighed in relief before allowing her shoulders to slump her body forward.
“Oh my god,” she panted her voice nothing more than a quivering breath as she dragged her shaken fingers through her sweat drenched hair. “It was just a dream, it was just a dream.” She repeated those words silently to herself a few more times trying to convince her body to calm down but not succeeding right away. She was still trying to catch her breath, her heart was still hammering so hard in her chest she could feel each pulse in her head and the sweat that clung to her skin was beginning to make her shiver even more so than she already was.
She hadn’t had a nightmare that graphically detailed and terrifying for months and she found herself feeling angry that she was starting to have them again. It was this place; this disgusting little village was at fault. She had left hoping she never had to set foot in the place again and here she was right back where she’d started ten years ago. She hated it here, hated the way it made her feel, hated how it brought out the worst in her and how all those awful memories she had managed to keep stored in the back of her head were coming back to haunt her.
Every time she closed her eyes she could still see the image of the rusted bed in the dark room and the odd flash of the man she loved lying dead at its centre. She gave up trying to screw her eyes shut and concentrating in a bid to banish it, this was one of those dreams that would stay with her for a while, she just knew it.
The dreams she’d had before were very similar this latest one, usually focusing around a hospital or some other kind of clinical area but always around people dying or already dead from the Rot, but never had she dreamt of Kakashi in such way. She could still see him in her mind, his poor body withered and brittle and his once handsome face completely destroyed by disease, that expressionless lifeless dark eye and his horrendous gut wrenching scream before she woke.
It hurt her despite knowing it was just a dream, that it wasn’t real and he had no chance of catching the infection in the first place thanks to the shot, but it hurt her to think of him in such a horrible and irreparable state. It made her wonder why her own mind would want to put him in such a situation. Why would her own imagination betray her like that?
She was also disturbed by the fact that the operation she had performed on him to replace his once damaged eye all those years ago was touched upon in the dream. It had been years since she had even thought about it. Rin knew there was a meaning behind it, her brain was trying to tell her something important but she was far too upset to focus on what the message was meant to be. All she wanted to do right now was forget about it and she hoped the memory would ebb away much like the others did but it seemed a long time coming.
Her breath hitched as she tried desperately to fight back the tears planting a hand over her eyes and rubbing them hard with her thumb and forefinger. It was always the same when she woke up from these things, but she managed to choke down the sob threatening to leave her throat as she placed a shaky hand over her mouth. She sat herself upright eventually lowering her arms back to the bed and taking in another deep lungful of air through her nose and blowing it out slowly out of her mouth. The technique did the trick and seemed to still her nerves but she repeated the action just one more time to make sure. It was at that point that she remembered that she wasn’t in the room alone.
Rin caught her breath knowing that she was stupid for even thinking it but she felt quite scared to look at Kakashi at that moment, scared that if she saw him now she would see him in the same mess as he was in her dream. Slowly she dared to turn her head peeking through the long tousled strands of her hair that had fallen from the ribbon used to tie it back and couldn’t help the smile that pulled at each corner of her mouth as she released the air stored in her lungs. What she saw was a very different picture to the one she had seen in her head, very different and very beautiful.
Kakashi was fast asleep in the bed next to her the sheets ruffled around his bent knees as it seemed he had tried to kick them off himself at some point during the night. He was fully clothed in his usual tank top though with the mask pulled down around his neck and a pair of lighter blue shorts that she didn’t remember him changing into. He lay on his back, his head turned slightly towards her with one arm draped over his stomach which still held onto a distinctive blue book - his thumb marking the page he had supposedly gotten too before he’d nodded off - while the other arm hung limply towards the floor. His breathing deep and regulated, the rise and fall of his chest was mesmerizing and Rin could hear him snoring lightly.
Her smile twitched upwards a little. Maybe she would tell him that he was a snorer and see if he tried to deny it someday. Or maybe she wouldn’t. Maybe she would keep this little memory to herself and just sit here on her bed admiring how breathtaking he was even while he slept with his body resembling that of a ragdoll. Maybe one day she would be waking up to that sight in her own bed at home in Konoha, one could only hope.
She sat and gazed at him for a while noting how relaxed he looked, how his lips were parted ever so slightly and how one side of his face was pushed up a little against the pillow his head rested on causing his eyelids on that side to crease upwards slightly. His hair was tousled and messy like he’d been fidgeting for most of the night and stray silver strands hung over his brow in thin wisps.
He looked adorable, so vulnerable yet peaceful as he just lay there and breathed deeply in his sleep. Rin wondered if he was dreaming and was granted an answer by the slight twitch of a silver eyebrow coupled with a deep quivering sigh. She hoped it was a nice dream he was having and she could feel the fright in her stomach left behind from her own begin to dissipate as she hummed a quiet chuckle at the sight of him. Rin was just thankful that she hadn’t woke him up when she’d all but lurched out of her bed.
Turning away her eyes spotted something distinctive and purple in a heap on the floor. She looked at it for a few seconds until she recognised it as her long purple sleep shirt. Rin was certain she went to bed wearing it the night previous and in a mild state of confusion she lifted the duvet from her body and gave herself an inspection under the sheets as if trying to confirm that she was in fact still wearing it.
She wasn’t of course, the only explanation for that being that she had taken it off in her sleep. Rin was completely naked underneath the sheets and she felt her eyes widen at the realisation that for the past five minutes or so she’d been staring at Kakashi her boobs had been on show for all to see. Not that there was anyone else in the room but that was beside the point. She slapped the duvet back to her chest, clamping her legs closed as she looked towards the man in the other bed again.
He was in the exact same position he was in before and Rin was certain that he wasn’t feigning sleep. She wasn’t sure how she knew this, Kakashi had tricked her with such things before but she was positive that he wasn’t pretending this time. How embarrassing that would have been to wake him up almost screaming struggling to breathe with her tits exposed and dangling in front of her like a couple of heavy shopping bags. If Kakashi had seen that he would never let her live it down.
She groaned inwardly at the image but was just thankful that it hadn’t happened. Eventually once she had gotten over the fact that the copy nin could have seen her naked chest, she gingerly reached for the purple shirt on the floor and quickly pulled it over her head patting down the creases as she went and making sure she pulled the hem under her butt.
The faint stream of light that shone through the gap in the curtains suggested that the sun was rising so it was still quite early. A quick glance at the watch on her wrist told her it was merely five thirty in the morning. The group wasn’t due to go to the hospital until two that afternoon but she didn’t much feel like sleeping now just to pass the time until breakfast.
Throwing back the covers Rin swung her legs over the edge of the bed and got to her feet before warily stepping over to the window. She carefully pulled back the curtain just enough for her to peer outside to gauge the weather. It looked set to be a nice day.
The sun was just cresting over the horizon but its light was already beginning to shine into the day. Long early morning shadows were cast onto the street by the throng of buildings on the other side of the strip and pretty little birds sang their pretty little tunes in the tree tops that lined the pavement but the village was still very much asleep.
Rin leaned against the windows edge and sighed to herself. What was she going to do with herself at this hour? She was too alert to simply go back to sleep now, there were no shops open yet so there was no point in venturing out if there was nowhere to go and she wasn’t in the mood for reading. The book she had brought for herself was a horror story and considering the horrible nightmare she’d not long woken from she didn’t much feel like submerging herself back into it.
She knew the hotel had a self service coffee and tea station down in the foyer and a garden that was open to guests at all hours. Maybe she should just go make herself a drink and sit outside for a while and watch the sunrise. She would have to shower first to wash the remnants of sweat from her body before she started to stink but all in all it sounded like a good plan. It would be a good method to forget the way in which she was woken up anyway.
Stepping away from the window Rin habitually eyed over Kakashi’s sleeping form once more. He still hadn’t moved and he was still snoring but her eyes were drawn specifically to the book in his hand with the thumb supposedly marking the page he was currently reading. If he was to turn over on to his side he was either going to drop it in the floor or crush it beneath him. Neither action had a good outcome for the poor book, it would likely get damaged either way so Rin took it upon herself to take it from him and place it somewhere a little safer.
Carefully and as gently as she could, Rin pushed her thumb in between the pages of the book that Kakashi was holding with his own before slowly slipping the blue novel from his barely gripped fingers biting her tongue as she went as though the action would keep her hand steady. The book slid away easy enough and the copy nin didn’t even stir which Rin thought was highly unusual for him. Kakashi was usually a very light sleeper; it never took much to wake him up, this morning being the only exception to the rule. Maybe he had been really tired last night not that she’d taken much notice.
Rin held the little book in her hands, her thumb keeping the marked pages apart while she looked around herself for something small and flat to use as a bookmark, the last thing she wanted was to lose his place. No such luck. She sighed irritably until she remembered the red ribbon she used to tie her hair back for bed the night before. Raising her free hand she tugged the long silken strip from the back of her head and used the same hand to ruffle her hair allowing it to fall about her shoulders in long messy strands. She opened the book on her thumb marked page which was a good three-quarters of the way into the story by the looks of it and carefully placed the flat piece of fabric in the hinge before closing it in her hands.
She spied the end table on the other side of his bed and decided that was the best place to put it for now. He would see it there straight away when he woke up as opposed to placing it on the floor where he could possibly plant his huge feet on it, slip and break his neck.
More out laziness than anything else Rin gently placed a hand on the mattress at the side of Kakashi’s body and leaned herself over reaching for the little end table on the other side with the book. She could have just walked around the bed but her brain was still waking up and not functioning on all cylinders yet for whatever reason she had surmised that clambering over the copy nin while trying not to wake him was the easiest way to get the job done. How very wrong she was.
She couldn’t quite reach and she grunted in frustration at having to change her angle. She lifted her leg and gently placed her knee on the edge of the bed not realising at first that her breasts were hanging mere millimetres away from her roommate’s face. She felt Kakashi’s body dip into the mattress with her weight suddenly which caused him to groan sleepily and begin to stir.
‘Oh no! I’ve woke him up and the first thing he’s going to see are my boobs in his eyes!!’ her mind squealed forcing her to freeze with her arm outstretched as she felt him begin to turn over beneath her. But astonishingly he didn’t wake up. Instead he just rolled over onto his side with a sigh while the arm that had been hanging on the bed draped itself around her waist. His hand settled on the round of her hip and she could feel his thumb rubbing random circles in the fabric of her shirt.
He was still asleep but it seemed his body was lucid enough to know what he was doing, either that or his dream involved touching something or someone the way he was touching her right now. Maybe he was dreaming about her about all the wonderful and erotic things he’d like to do to her in his bed, what she wanted him to do to her in his bed. She felt her body shiver under his hand and managed to swallow the moan that was about to pass her lips at the thought but the horror of what had just happened still managed to spill into her stomach.
Had Kakashi’s arm been a fraction to the left when he lifted it his hand would have disappeared right up her shirt and she wasn’t wearing any panties. She would have screamed, he would have woken up wanting to know why she was shouting and leaning over his bed with her breasts in his face and his hand on her naked ass and she would have lost the power to speak. That could have been very awkward for both of them or it could have led to something amazing but Rin didn’t know if she wanted to risk finding out which one it could have been.
Eventually she tried again, doing her best to ignore his hand on her hip and the white hot fire his touch spread throughout her body as she managed to just plant the corner of the book on the table and push the rest of it on with the tips of her fingers. Why didn’t she just go the long way around the bed like a normal person? The answer to that one was simple; she was a complete moron first thing in the morning, end of story.
Now to try and remove herself from Kakashi’s arm without disturbing him, what a wonderfully fine mess she had got herself into. Rin drew her lower lip into her mouth as though this would help her concentration as she carefully wrapped her fingers around the assaulting wrist and lifted his arm over her head. Not once did she lift her eyes from Kakashi whose face was now buried in the pillow as he snored into it a little louder than before. Clenching her jaw and supporting his upper arm with her other hand she slowly lowered the limb to rest his hand on his opposite shoulder. Once settled she released him and backed herself away towards her own bed.
That was close - too close - though the temptation to climb into bed with him and have him just hold her was a difficult one to ignore. She doubted very much he would protest but it would do very little for the focus she had promised herself she was going to maintain today of all days.
Sighing in a mixture of relief and mild disappointment that Kakashi hadn’t fought against her and coaxed her into his bed, Rin crouched before her pack and pulled out a small bottle of shampoo and a bar of soap before standing back up and venturing towards the little wet room. Not only did she feel the desperate need to be clean and wash the remaining memories of her dreadful dream down the drain but that intense heat that was now pooling between her legs thanks to her roommate would need some special treatment too. She wasn’t sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing at this moment in time, perhaps her shower should be a cold one.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The morning was bright already filling the day with glorious colour and the sun’s rays were warm against her skin as Rin sat on the wooden bench in the pretty little garden at the side of the restaurant. No one had been around when she’d first made her way into the foyer after changing into some more practical clothes but she was glad to see that the self service coffee and tea station was still there on the bar. It had been a few years since she had stayed in the hotel herself. During her stint in Machenich it worked out much cheaper to rent a room within the hospital rather than pay out to stay here so she was glad to see that not a lot about the place had changed.
That was probably another reason why she was dreading her visit to the hospital complex. The place was like a prison to her, if she wasn’t working within the building she was in her cramped little bedsit in the same campus. There was a fine line between the way she’d lived back then and being a total hermit. The only times she ventured out was when her superior, Doctor Kenshin, felt generous enough to allow her a day off, those were very few and far between and even then she’d had to beg for them. Rin felt her mouth twist in distaste when she thought of that horrible twisted little man. She hoped she wouldn’t have to speak to him today. That would just be the last straw on the camels back if she was subjected to his vicious mouth again.
She lowered her eyes back to the small ledger she’d found in her pack before she left hers and Kakashi’s room and continued to scribble down the remnants of the memory her latest dream had left behind. The more she had thought about it while in the shower the more she was convinced that it meant something other than to just upset her. There was a reason why Satoshi-san’s name had been on that clipboard but it had been Kakashi’s body on the bed and there was a reason why the latter had been so distraught towards the end. She had seen Kakashi suffer from certain emotional trauma’s before but she had never ever seen him in so distressed like she had done in the dream and it troubled her greatly as to why he was portrayed in such a way. Maybe it wasn’t him at all...
Also the fact that Obito’s eye and the cave during that incident were in there meant something too. Rin didn’t usually look so far into these sorts of things, dreams were normally a bunch of memories smooshed together to try and help the mind resolve and make sense of things that happened in the day. But this dream was different, it wasn’t totally derived from memories and she wanted to know why.
Though the dream still troubled her it was no longer as terrifying as when she had first woke up. She knew she wouldn’t forget it straight away but she was now determined to find out its meaning. Maybe if she did that and faced whatever the dream was telling her to do then that would be the end of them. She wasn’t sure if she could deal with having anymore of these nightmares and she really didn’t want to visit a sleep therapist to resolve the issue but if they continued then she would have no choice. For now she was going to try and deal with this the best she could on her own despite the fact that she still couldn’t find any clues into her search for a reason why she was having them in the first place.
Once she was satisfied that all the important information she could recall from the nightmare was down on paper she closed the ledger on her lap and took another look at her watch: eight twenty five. Wow, she’d been outside for a long time. Time flies when you’re having fun, as they say.
It was then that she noticed the hum of people behind her which caused her to look over her shoulder into the restaurant area. People were already filling the tables waiting for breakfast or at the bar ordering their morning drinks. Rin thought lazily of getting up and ordering another coffee when she saw the familiar sight of a pink haired kunoichi come trotting through the lounge.
“Sakura!” she called craning her body over the arm of the bench waving at the young girl as she turned to the sound of her name and spotted her. Rin was more than pleased to see the genuine happy smile she returned and waved back. It was good to know that the situation from the night previous didn’t seem to have affected her perception of her, although Rin knew she would find herself apologising to her anyway just to clear the air on the whole matter. It would make her feel better about it anyway.
The young girl threw her a hand signal by sticking up two fingers like a peace sign - “Give me two minutes” - before she nodded and her smile broadened. She obviously wanted to get herself a drink before she sat down.
Rin simply nodded and grinned back feeling more relaxed now knowing that she actually wanted to come and sit with her before leaning back in her seat. It wasn’t long before Sakura appeared at her side and offered her one of the two steaming porcelain mugs in her hands.
“I figured you wanted a drink, Rin-sensei. I don’t know how you take it so I brought some sugar sachets with me,” she chirped happily.
“Oh, no I don’t take sugar but thank you so much, you’re too nice to me, Sakura,” Rin replied feeling so honoured that the young girl had gone out of her way to buy her a drink despite the fact that coffee here was quite expensive. She took the mug from her young friend and hutched over to the other side of the bench to allow Sakura to seat herself next to her which she did without any encouragement.
“Where’s Kakashi-sensei?” the rosette asked inquisitively as she took a wary sip of her hot beverage and eyed Rin over curiously with her pretty green eyes.
Rin hummed a chuckled at her before she responded, “The last time I saw him he was snoring his head off and drooling into his pillow.” She heard Sakura attempt to stifle a giggle around her mouthful of coffee at the remark.
“Yamato is doing pretty much that too. But I was awake so I came down here for something to do,” she shrugged turning her attention to the garden in front as she lowered her drink to her lap.
Rin hummed at her knowing the feeling and taking a sip of her own drink as a comfortable silence settled between them. They both sat there for a while just admiring the view before Rin decided to spark up a very different conversation. She needed to get what she had to say next off her chest or it would drive her mad, she was just one of those types of people.
“Sakura,” she breathed leaning forward so her elbows rested on her knees and saw the girl next to her turn her head towards her from the corner of her eye. “I want to apologise about last night. It was really rude of both me and Kakashi to dominate our room like that. We certainly didn’t plan it and I’m really sorry if we made you feel uncomfortable.”
Sakura didn’t respond right away which caused Rin to feel a little uneasy in her presence. She felt herself swallow hard before she dared to look up at the pretty girl who was now smiling warmly into her drink.
“It’s okay, Rin-sensei, you don’t need to apologise to me,” she replied softly.
“No, Sakura, listen to me...” Rin started not satisfied with her response before she was cut short by the young kunoichi who seemed determined to let the matter lie.
“It’s alright, honestly. You know, thinking back it was actually pretty funny,” Sakura giggled as she crossed her legs and leaned back in her seat. “But I over-reacted, I know that now so I’ll apologise for spoiling the moment. I think I was more embarrassed that I’d just walked in on you without knocking rather than what you guys were actually doing, if you know what I mean. I should have known Kakashi-sensei would be there.” She finished with a shrug and a knowing yet coy grin that tugged at one corner of her mouth.
“I guess so,” Rin replied quietly as she took to gazing with a mild interest into the contents of her mug. She wasn’t in the mood to argue with her so she decided to say no more about it. But it still felt nice to know that there was no awkwardness between them. It was the last thing Rin wanted and it would do none of them any good if what had happened, despite how silly and unimportant it seemed now, put an unnecessary strain on the team. But it hadn’t and she was more than a little grateful for that.
“Can I tell you something, Rin-sensei?” Sakura’s voice was unusually quiet which prompted Rin to eye her over sceptically before she responded.
“Of course. You can tell me anything, Sakura,” she answered softly and meaning every word as she suddenly felt concerned for the girl. She wanted to be there for her and she certainly wanted to be her friend. She was a lovely young woman who harboured a fierce loyalty to those close to her and Rin so desperately wanted to be a part of that. She secretly hoped that she already was. Unfortunately she found her concern was misplaced when she realised that she wasn’t prepared for what Sakura said next.
“Well, I know that Kakashi-sensei has had girlfriends before, but they never lasted very long. The longest relationship he had that I know of lasted all of a month. The thing is I knew a couple of the girls he’d dated. I wasn’t friends with them or anything but they knew I was on his team and they would always end up telling me the same thing when the relationship broke down,” Sakura explained somewhat matter-of-factly.
Rin wasn’t sure if she liked where this conversation was heading and she hadn’t even contributed to it yet, she wasn’t particularly interested in any of the copy ninja’s past conquests and she didn’t really want to know about them. Not because it made her jealous of the girls that had been in her place before her but she hated the idea of being compared to them in some way and she couldn’t help but think that was what Sakura was doing right now. But even then she found herself wanting her to continue purely because it was the polite thing to do.
“What did they say?” she asked flatly not entirely sure if she really wanted to know the answer to her own question but her feminine curiosity edging her on as it usually did.
“That he was an asshole, that he used them to get what he wanted and then kicked them to the curb when he’d got bored,” Sakura sighed fingering the handle of her coffee mug it seemed by the way she spoke that she didn’t quite agree with these girls’ opinions of her squad leader. “Maybe he was horrible to those girls, I don’t know because I never got involved but I just can’t see it. I know Kakashi-sensei and something about him always told me his reasons for not settling down with a girl were far more deep seeded than him just playing the field.” She sighed again and furrowed her pink brows together seeming that she was thinking about what she’d just said before she continued.
“I mean, Kakashi-sensei isn’t a horrible person, at least I don’t think so. He was always there if me, Sasuke or Naruto needed help or advice with training and sometimes he’d talk to me if I was sad or just feeling a little low about things. He was always telling me to keep my chin up and that things would be alright even when I knew they wouldn’t be. But he kept my spirits up, you know?”
Rin wasn’t sure how to respond. She didn’t like the idea of him being anything but a gentleman to anyone, never mind someone who he was emotionally involved with. Granted there was a time where he’d shot her down when she’d tried to tell him how she truly felt about him but he’d had his reasons and she didn’t hold that against him. Rin figured the girls Sakura was talking about were just upset by the fact that their relationship had failed, be that with Kakashi or anyone else, and maybe blaming him for the break up was the easy option. She decided not to interject with her thoughts on the subject as it seemed that Sakura felt pretty much the same by the way she had defended him in her last statement. She stared into her drink tracing an index finger along the rim of the mug until the candy topped medic grabbed her attention again.
“But then you came along, Rin-sensei, and suddenly everything started to make sense,” she said whimsically as she leaned forward on the bench and looked Rin straight in the eye.
“Me? What did I do?” Rin muttered as she pinched her eyebrows together in mild confusion.
“I’m not sure exactly. I remember Kaka-sensei saying that his best friends had died a long time ago, but he never elaborated on it and he never spoke about these friends. I can only assume that he thought you were one of them...” Sakura’s voice retreated as she spoke and Rin felt her chest tighten at her assumption as she recalled Kakashi telling her the same thing.
He hadn’t mentioned it again since that very first night she had returned to Konoha, and it had hurt so much then to find out that he thought she’d died somewhere away from home. She wasn’t all that surprised to find that it was still just as painful to hear it now even from someone else. She turned away and focused on her drink again as Sakura started to speak once more obviously sensing Rin’s unease with her declaration.
“I guess what I mean is that, personally, I think Kakashi-sensei was pining for you all these years which is why he didn’t settle for anyone else. I don’t know ... but I’ve never seen him so ... well ... happy if I really think about it. He’s changed a lot since you came on the scene.”
The older medic looked towards her pink haired partner at that point, a faint smile threatening to break out even as Sakura pinched her eyes closed and giggled back at her somewhat childishly. The thought of Kakashi pining for her was bitter-sweet though it wasn’t a fact, Sakura had confirmed that she didn’t know this for sure. Even so, it was nice to think that Kakashi still thought about her but her heart ached at the thought that she was the one that had held him back and prevented him from moving on with his life. Silently she hoped that wasn’t the case, she didn’t want to be the one to blame for such a horrible thing but she decided not to focus on that.
“You really think so?” Rin asked softly her interest for the conversation finally shining through at the thought that Sakura believed Kakashi had changed because of her. She liked to think she was the reason for this supposed evolution but she hadn’t been around him for those years that Sakura had, so if anyone was going to notice such a drastic change in him then it was going to be her and her team. Rin could admit that he had changed since the last time she had seen him a decade ago but time changed people anyway. But Sakura was stating that this change she had noticed had happened over the past few weeks not over a period of years.
Sakura nodded her head briskly that smile on her lips morphing into a full blown grin. “Uh-huh. I told you before, he adores you, anyone with eyes can see that. Even Sasuke-kun’s mentioned it a couple of times and he never notices anything.”
Rin didn’t know what to say. She just sat there awestruck at the words of the pretty young thing sat next to her. Rin had only known her a matter of a few weeks but already she was so fond of her like one was fond of a younger sibling. Sakura was so cute, open and honest and she always said or did something that made her smile. Being on the sticky end of her temper was a very small price to pay if this is what she received to compensate.
And she was so talkative. Rin was naturally a shy creature, when in the presence of someone new it was rare she would speak unless spoken to purely for the fact that she felt she had nothing interesting to say. But Sakura wasn’t like that and she seemed to change Rin’s whole perspective on conversation. She wasn’t brash, or loud, or enjoyed the sound of her own voice; the girl just loved to talk and it was one of her little traits that Rin adored about her.
They sat and regarded each other for a while until they both reclined back into their bench with satisfied sighs and simultaneously took sips from their still piping hot drinks. But Rin couldn’t get the images of these other women out of her head. Were they pretty? Did they have any connection with him like she had despite how short their relationships with him may have been? Were they good in bed?
Maybe she was a little envious that someone else had gotten to the copy ninja before she’d had the chance to. She had a gut feeling that he was far more experienced sexually than she was but in order to gain that experience he would have to have been with another woman or two.
It wasn’t like his involvement with other girls was unexpected. He was a very good looking guy with a lot to offer a potential mate. He was strong, obviously handsome, loyal and he had the means to provide for his partner if he so wished it, but alas, when Rin had turned up he was indeed still on the market. Part of her was glad that he hadn’t found anyone to settle down with until she came back to Konoha or she wouldn’t have had the chance herself but a small part of her felt sorrow for the fact that he had been alone for all that time. Perhaps that was choice he had made himself but Rin doubted very much that she would ask him such a personal question.
Eventually the curiosity got the better of her and she decided she would prefer to know the truth than sit there driving herself crazy thinking about Kakashi kissing and making love to some other goddess that was probably better in the sack than she would ever be. She couldn’t help but think that her virginity would be incredibly off putting when it inevitably came out, especially at her age.
“Can I ask you something, Sakura?”
“Sure.”
“Out of morbid interest, what were these other girls like? Were they nice?”
She saw Sakura shrug before she answered. “They were nice I guess but they seemed to hang from Kakashi-sensei like he was some kind of trophy. Maybe that’s another reason he broke up with them so quickly. Maybe they were too clingy for him. I don’t know.”
Rin sat and thought about that for a while not bothering to dignify Sakura’s answer with a response, not that it needed one. Did she treat Kakashi like he was a prize for her ego? Was she still clingy, still honing a fear that she simply wasn’t good enough for him? He hadn’t said anything and his mannerisms towards her hadn’t justified that she was doing anything that he found particularly annoying. But still, she didn’t want to push him away, she didn’t want to become one of those “other girls”.
Maybe that was what the dream this morning was trying to tell her - that if she kept relying on that one person to provide her with courage and strength eventually she would lose them unless she began to stand on her own two feet. Due to the horror she had witnessed in the nightmare the message seemed a little bit over the top and dramatic but it was a message she could see quite clearly now. The thought made her mouth twitch before she raised a hand and began to chew nervously at the nail of her thumb.
Sakura seemed to notice Rin’s apprehension and she felt the younger girl gently place a hand on her shoulder which sparked the dark haired medic’s interest in her coffee partner again.
“I wouldn’t worry about them though, Rin-sensei. And besides I like you the best,” she quipped giving her that same tooth filled grin that pinched her eyes closed.
The comment was silly and childish but it still served to make Rin laugh from the bottom of her gut as she leaned over and patted hand on Sakura’s knee.
“That’s cute, Sakura, but it’s not a contest,” she chortled though not really meaning it before getting to her feet and glancing around the dining area inside. There were still plenty of tables free and now that she thought about it she actually pretty hungry. “Do you fancy getting something to eat? I’ll treat since you bought me coffee this morning,” she suggested softly planting a hand on her hip and pointing towards the restaurant with the thumb of the other hand.
“I am kinda hungry. But shouldn’t we wait for the other two?”
Rin pulled her head back on her neck sharply as she arched an eyebrow and snorted at Sakura’s reply. “Heck no! If they’re too busy sleeping that’s not our problem, I’m hungry now,” she scolded. “So, how about it, Sakura-chan? Will you be my breakfast date this morning?” she smouldered in the sultriest voice she could muster and offered the crook of her elbow to the young girl who was soon to be her table guest.
The smile on Sakura’s face couldn’t have gotten any wider as she jumped up from the bench and wrapped her arm around the dark haired medic’s.
“Kakashi-sensei will probably have my guts for garters for this, but just try and stop me!” she giggled back as the two girls chuckled at each other and walked arm in arm through the glass doors and back into the hotel.
Rin just hoped they still served those wonderful pancakes they did the last time she stayed here.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
His hands ghosted over her silky smooth skin, revelling in how her body arched and flexed into his touch and how his name sounded when she moaned each syllable in euphoric pleasure. Rin was so fucking gorgeous, so responsive, so passionate and sexually charged Kakashi had to wonder why she was even with him in the first place. A girl as sexy as her could have any man she wanted, why was she attracted to a fool like him? But he wasn’t one to push his luck so he refused to question it anymore and just enjoy the fact that this beautiful woman wanted him and that his desire burned brighter than a myriad suns for her.
The way her entire body rippled beneath his as he glided his tongue over her gorgeously toned stomach upwards until he reached the valley of her amazing naked breasts was enough to drive him crazy. Her hands in his hair and her voice moaning and sighing in raw unadulterated pleasure simply pushed him further towards that steep sloping edge that was oh so close.
Kakashi’s erection twitched in anticipation as her delicate fingers in his hair urged his body higher and her pelvis bucked and ground against his thigh. He could feel her feminine juices running down the inside of his leg as she pleasured her soaking wet sex against him and he could smell her, oh fuck, could he smell her pungent yet sweet arousal. Her sexual scent was glorious, heady and it consumed his senses almost to the point where it blurred his vision.
“Oh, Kakashi,” she mewled as he sat up and shifted his body adjusting her hips so her scorching hot womanhood was now rolling against his hard cock before he smoothed a single calloused hand over one glorious breast and allowed his other to shift from her hip to join its twin. Rin released her harsh grip on his hair and fluttered her small and delicate hands down his neck, splaying her long fingers onto his shoulders and began to glide her smooth palms over his chest and back again.
She penetrated his being as she looked over his naked body with clouded lust filled eyes, her pretty mouth falling open and slowly closing at the sight of him and her nails digging in to his flesh in the most tantalising way. He turned her on, she wanted him, wanted him inside of her to fuck her into oblivion and he took awesome pleasure in knowing that.
“Like what you see?” he hummed knowingly, gently running his thumbs against her areola and over her hard nipples drunk on her smell and her pleasured sighs allowing himself to bathe in the satisfaction of how her body came to life when he touched her.
She traced a finger over the white threads of semi-healed scars cut into his chest and followed them lower before running that same finger over the central valley of his abdomen her eyes mesmerised by her own movements. She gazed at him a moment longer her lips parting ever so slightly seeming to drink the sight in before her as her bodily motions stilled to a complete stop.
Kakashi felt his muscles twitch and respond to Rin’s soft touch as her extended digit travelled ever lower until she reached the coarse wiry hairs crowning the base of his member. His hips reacted to her instantly by jutting forwards in a slight yet encouraging movement as he growled amorously through gritted teeth in response to the fire her touch left behind.
Rin flicked her sights back to his face a slight flirtatious smirk tugging at one corner of her mouth as she resumed gently rolling her hips into his forcing another one of her lusty sighs to pass her lips. Her eyes were darker than before, hazed by her desire for him before she mouthed the word “beautiful” in such a manner that made her look like she had just blown him a kiss and lapped her tongue over her lower lip.
Just watching her sultry confidence as she responded to the sight of his body was enough to make him lose his mind. He joined her in her desperate dance for release allowing his thick member to slide between her slick folds over her swollen clitoris and back again with a deliberately slow and controlled rocking of his hips but never penetrating, not yet.
The sensation of her hot pink labia slipping along the sensitive underside of his penis and her clit bumping against his tip made Kakashi quiver and growl deep in his throat. Her fluids soaked him through and he could feel it dripping from his testicles splattering onto the ruffled sheets beneath. She was so wet, so ready for him and he could only imagine how wonderfully tight she would feel as her insides quivered and clamped around his hard cock but even now she felt so damn good.
He had waited so long to have her, so long to finally make her his, to fill her to the brim and fuck her so hard and deep until she screamed in agonising euphoria as he watched her come that he was determined to take his time with her, to tease and pleasure her to the brink of almost bursting.
He was her first and that made this maddening experience all the more erotic and arousing, it made him want her more, made him want to stretch her, fill her and claim her virginity for himself. Kakashi didn’t think he had ever been so turned on by a woman, he had never wanted a woman so badly like he wanted Rin right now, like he had wanted and craved her since she was just sixteen years old.
His hazy eyes met hers as he massaged her breasts in his hands squeezing the soft mounds with his fingers and his gentle circular motion while he watched her beautiful face contort with that white hot ecstasy he could hear in her voice as she repeatedly whispered his name and begged him for more.
“Tell me that feels good. You like it when I touch you, don’t you?” he purred while taking each nipple between a thumb and a forefinger and pinching the hard little nubs just to hear her cry of utter pleasure and to watch her buck and writhe beneath him. She looked divine, her long hair splayed out over the pillow like a halo around her head. Her face a picture of ecstasy as she moaned and whimpered his name and her legs spread wide around his waist ready to receive him whole. He thrust against her a little harder when she didn’t reply straight away seeming too caught up in the heavenly sensations he bestowed upon her.
She turned his insides molten when she finally spoke. “Oh god, yes! Oh god, Kakashi, you make me feel so good! Don’t stop, please, don’t stop!” she sobbed as he continued to rub her pretty pink nipples in his fingers until they were fully distended and the skin red and raw.
He felt the smirk on his lips as he curled his body over hers relishing the way her chest heaved into his hands with each quivering breath she took. She was so fucking beautiful, his very own goddess lying before him, his task to fulfil her every need and desire as she fulfilled his.
Kakashi rested his head in the hollow of her shoulder and ran his tongue over the burning hot flesh of her neck before lifting his chin and nibbling the shell of her ear. Her gasps suddenly became deeper, more even but her moans kept coming in time with the soft motion of her sex against his.
“Tell me what you want, how to touch you, tell me how you want me to please you, Rin,” he whispered into her ear in nothing but a hot husky breath. She groaned in response as he shifted again and planted a soft kiss on her pulse, arching herself into him as her fingers returned to his dishevelled hair.
Kakashi shifted his hands from her breasts sliding his palms over her ribs and around the back of her shoulders, enveloping her, drawing her closer to him and kissing her glorious sweat slicked skin as they both pleasured themselves against each other. He couldn’t get enough, he was addicted to her like she was some powerful narcotic that shot through his system when their bodies connected. He needed more of her, more of her passion, more of her touches, her moans, her cries and her intoxicating aroma. She was gorgeous, so unbelievably beautiful and he wanted to keep her all to himself.
“Inside, I need you ah ... aah! I need you i-inside me! Please, Kakashi, p-please,” she whimpered her fingers once again abandoning his scalp as she deliciously dragged her nails down over his shoulder blades, her plea not going unheard and one Kakashi wasn’t about to ignore either.
The mere sound of her voice in his ears drove him crazy and he couldn’t contain the loud moan that rumbled from his chest as he stroked his tongue over her throat. He could feel the electricity surging through his veins and he could hear himself panting in time with that burning coil in his groin twisting tighter and tighter as he continued to slowly grind his hard cock against her. He was so close, so close he could feel his balls contracting as he lifted himself from her completely removing his body before he lost all control much to her utter dismay.
Propped up with both hands on either side of her head he looked down at her as he tried to catch his breath, admiring how simply gorgeous she was as her eyes gazed into his, dark, amorous and brimming with a primal lust so deep he couldn’t bring himself to look away.
He lowered himself eventually touching the tip of his thick shaft against her still soaking opening and hovered his mouth above hers. His dishevelled hair damp with his own sweat hung over them the messy strands of silver bobbing around his face as he dragged the air into his lungs desperate to catch his breath.
Rin finally spoke lifting a hands from his shoulders and touching his face, the tips of her fingers fluttering over his over sensitive skin making him whimper and melt into her touch.
“Where will you take me?” she whispered passionately as she tilted her head slightly to one side and letting her soft supple lips to stroke against his.
“To paradise,” Kakashi responded in little more than a breath feeling his whole body trembling above her, his desire and lust for this girl boiling inside him to the point he feared he would explode at any moment from the extreme pressure. He was almost at his peak, he knew he wouldn’t last much longer, he needed to take her now before he completely lost his mind.
“Tell me why,” she breathed her lips curving upwards as her focus flitted from his eyes to his mouth and back again as she stroked the backs of her fingers of one hand across his cheek.
“Because I love you,” he replied his breath hitching as he felt himself enter her, the walls of her sex consuming him whole and closing around him sucking him in. He felt Rin arch into him beneath as she pulled his head towards her until their lips connected and she plunged her tongue into his mouth.
He moaned against her just as he was about to fill her completely almost at the hilt relishing in how he could feel her stretching around him and drinking in that delicious taste of her tongue against his. She tasted ... sort of ... weird ... dry ... coarse and ... lumpy -
...
Kakashi cracked an eye open and squinted against the bright sunlight streaking across his bed from the gap in the curtain. It took him a while to figure out where he was and why and he was pretty sure he had forgotten his own name during those strange disorientating moments upon waking. When his bearings eventually returned he discovered that he wasn’t actually kissing or about to make love to the girl of his dreams but instead sucking on the corner of his own pillow.
With a soft groan of effort he pushed himself upright onto his knees clumsily, the fabric of his pillow still hanging in his teeth as he looked lazily around the room with sleepy eyes. He noticed instantly that the goddess that appeared in his dream was nowhere to be seen and her bed was neatly made with that sexy purple shirt folded on top of the sheets. Kakashi stared at it for a while until he let the bag of feathers in his mouth drop back to the mattress and a mere moment later he joined it allowing gravity to take him and send him plummeting face first into the object he had just been sexually assaulting.
The entire bed creaked loudly under his weight and bounced around him as he just lay there not in the mood to move another muscle. His face was buried in the soft abused cushion with his ass in the air both arms laying limply at his sides as he emitted a long pathetic whine at the embarrassing realisation of what had just happened and how cruel life was being to him lately.
Kakashi couldn’t remember the last time he had been so sexually frustrated in his life. He wanted to cry, to just lay there on his bed and weep while mourning the fact that no amount of jacking off and cold showers was going to release the type of unbearable pressure building up inside of him. There was only one way he could cure this itch and there was no way he would get access to that medicine any time soon. Not here anyway.
Considering the circumstances that had brought him to Machenich in the first place it would be unfair to pursue his fantasies any further than he already had. He had no choice but to try and live with the irritation for now. He’d very nearly failed to keep it in his pants the night before and were it not for Sakura barging in on them and ruining the moment he may very well have ended up sleeping with the woman in his dream. There was no doubt in his mind that sex with Rin would be anything other than fantastic but to act on it now could huge mistake on his part.
He hadn’t planned on even kissing her while on this excursion but her massage had turned him on so much he just couldn’t contain himself. He knew now that he should have turned it down but something inside him prevented him from doing just that. Kakashi figured the kiss would have been enough to sate the monster between his legs but of course it wasn’t. He was supposed to be here to support her during what could only be a very difficult time for her not to try and peel her clothes off every time they found themselves alone together. The last thing he wanted was her to think that he was taking advantage of her while she was down and the very thought forced the guilt to froth into his gullet.
She had not long found out her close friend and team leader of ten years was dead ... what the hell was wrong with him? Why was his own body working against him like this? Why did his imagination want to show him things he knew he couldn’t have but wanted so desperately?
Kakashi had tried to apologise for his lack of constraint before they both retired for the night but Rin wouldn’t hear of it. She’d just shook her head at him and told him to stop being stupid. But he felt stupid, he felt like an absolute idiot for not pulling himself into check before he let his heart rule his head. Even he knew it wasn’t like him to cave into his emotions so easily but it was so hard to resist recently, sometimes he didn’t even realise he was doing it until he had already acted.
He’d never had this much trouble managing his libido before. It was all her fault that he felt so powerless with absolutely no control over his own body and why these potent erotic dreams were leaving him feeling un-sated, frustrated and downright miserable. All they did was constantly torment and remind him of something he wasn’t yet receiving.
His feelings for Rin went far beyond the boundaries of sex. He loved her, had loved her for a long time even if he hadn’t openly confirmed it yet but something in his brain was misfiring and forcing the testosterone to pump through his system in higher doses than what he was used to.
Kakashi was almost at the end of his rope. He wasn’t sure how much longer he could put up with this – he was only human after all - and even though it was always good to know his manhood was in good working order he was growing tired of looking at it every morning and having to deal with the problem himself. At this moment in time he felt if he never had another erection ever again it would be too soon but the idea of being impotent didn’t fill him with much joy either. Talk about a catch twenty two situation...
He just wanted to feel normal again, not like some crazed nymphomaniac which was how he’d been feeling for quite some time now, sex with her was all he could think about, all he dreamt about and it was driving him nuts, she was driving him nuts. He couldn’t go a whole day without at least thinking about her or hearing her name in passing conversation and his cock would spring to life each and every time.
No girl had ever had this effect on him, ever, and if he was honest with himself it frightened him to think that someone as placid and shy as Rin had such a powerful hold over him. He wondered briefly if she was aware of how far under her spell he really was but knowing her he highly doubted it. He was just glad Rin wasn’t here to see him making an ass of himself in his sleep. Goodness knows what kinds of noises he’d been making while desperately trying to make love to his bed and probably unconsciously calling her name as he did so. How humiliating...
Rolling angrily onto his back Kakashi kicked off the sheets that were ravelled around his legs viciously and cursed at them until his feet were finally free before pressing the balls of his hands onto both eyes. He sighed heavily knowing he still had a hard on, a raging one, he could feel it throbbing in his boxers to the same rhythm of his heartbeat but the last thing he wanted to do right now was look at it never mind touch it.
Keeping his eyes closed Kakashi reached for the end table and fumbled around blindly searching for his watch so he could see what time it was. He really hoped he hadn’t slept through breakfast. Despite the fact that he was horny as hell he was also quite hungry and his stomach growled at that moment as if to confirm this last bit of information.
After sifting his hand around on the table for a while he found his book, his rear pouch, his leg pouch, his money clip which he promptly knocked onto the floor and then finally his fingers touched the metallic straps of his watch. Grasping it harshly he dragged it from the small cupboard and dangled it in front of his face blinking harshly at it as he tried to focus on the black watch face. Eight forty five, it read. Breakfast didn’t finish until ten thirty so he had plenty of time to shower and dress before making his way down to the restaurant and fill his stomach, heaven knew that beast needed sating. He assumed Rin was already down there, she definitely wasn’t here so there was nowhere else she could be at this hour and chances were the others were there too.
‘Why didn’t she wake me up?’ he thought dejectedly frowning to himself and feeling a little rejected that she had just left him there. He decided not to dwell too much on it. Maybe she’d left him in bed assuming he needed the sleep, yeah that sounded a more likely explanation. He would freely admit, however, that last night was the best night’s sleep he’d ever had. With his body used to being awake and alert at all hours and sometimes for days at a time he suffered insomnia quite regularly had done since his father died. It made a nice change to sleep soundly for a good solid eight hours.
It was as he was replacing his watch on the end table that he spied his erection forcing the fabric of his blue boxer shorts to tent at its whim. Kakashi sighed at it like a parent would sigh at a naughty child, wishing it would just go away on its own like most cases of morning wood, but he knew damn well that this one wouldn’t. Well, if he was going to take the steps into calm himself down again he may as well have fun doing it. He didn’t much fancy the cold shower and it was never really the best way to start ones day.
Hooking both thumbs behind the waist band of his shorts Kakashi arched his back from the mattress and briskly removed them, tossing them to the floor once he’d untangled a stubborn foot from the obstructive garment. He lay back down on the bed resting his head warily on the pillow and begrudgingly wrapped his hand around his shaft and started to pump slowly.
He was reluctant to give in to himself initially. It was almost like he didn’t enjoy masturbating anymore, not something he really wanted to admit even to himself. But it certainly didn’t take long for the searing heat in his groin to flare and start to boil as that already tightly wound coil began to twist while the pressure between his legs started to build and intensify.
Before Kakashi realised it he was breathing hard, his heart was racing, faint droplets of sweat were forming on his forehead and he was beginning to drift into yet another fantasy. He let his eyes flutter closed as he imagined that it wasn’t his hand around his thick member but Rin’s. Her wonderfully long and delicate fingers working their unspoken magic around the entirety of his manhood occasionally scraping a fingernail along the slit cut into his tip. He heard himself groan at the thought and uttered her name under his breath watching her pleasuring him in his mind’s eye.
The precum that was already seeping from him made it perfect for him to imagine the tips his fingers were actually her tongue as he smeared the fluid over the head. He wasted no time convincing himself that Rin was in fact sucking him off as he ran his own hand up and down his own dick laying there and whimpering pleasurably to himself. The coil in his groin tightened again sending that hot spark of electricity to surge through his legs. He gasped in response as he could feel himself slipping out of his own control.
He saw her lips surrounding him as she took his whole length into her hot wet mouth as she used her tongue to massage his underside before repeating the action. He imagined his cock slipping out from between her supple lips slick with saliva her pretty dark eyes smouldering at him from beneath sooty lashes before he sank into her again. His breathing became heavier starting out as gasps but soon exhaling as moans of pleasure as the fantasy in his head took hold over the reality of the situation. His hips bucked and he thrust himself into his own hand as he pumped himself fiercely.
“Oh f-fuck,” he gasped raking a feverish hand through his hair gripping and pulling at the back of his head not daring to slow his pace in his desperate need for release. He was so close; his eyes screwed shut thinking about the beautiful girl sucking his cock as he lay powerless to oppose her just dying to come in her mouth. Maybe one day this wouldn’t be a fantasy anymore but for now he had no choice but to settle for the dream, right at this moment in time the dream was good enough.
It didn’t take long before that overbearing ball of heat deep in his crotch exploded, that tight coil suddenly unravelling sending him spiralling into orgasm as the pleasure washed over him in waves. His body went taught, the sheer force of his release forcing his feet into the mattress causing his back to arch from the bed with his head bent back on his neck with his mouth dropped open in a silent scream. Kakashi could feel his seed dribbling over his knuckles as it left him in quick hot spurts. He emitted one strangled groan before his legs gave way and he collapsed back to the bed feeling hot, breathless and spent but not quite as satisfied as he should have been. But that was one of the symptoms of the itch. There was only one cure and the solution to his problem was currently sitting in the restaurant downstairs eating her first meal of the day.
After catching his breath Kakashi managed to sit himself up. Swinging his legs from the bed he just sat there gathering his garbled thoughts while resting his brow in the palm of his clean hand. He wiped the bodily fluid from his other on the bed sheets knowing the hotel changed bedding daily and really not caring that he’d just made a mess of them. He was certain the staff had seen worse, hotels attract all kinds of guests no matter how posh or up market they were and he was more than confident that the couples that came to these places were bound to have sex in these beds so he refused to feel bad about it. He sighed to himself actually feeling a little guilty for the fantasy he’s just created in his mind even if it was just that for now - just a dream. He hoped he could look Rin in the eye when he finally came face to face with her this morning but he figured he needn’t over think it. He had managed for this long to keep all this under a tight lid so he shouldn’t have any problems now.
Eventually he stood grabbing the towel that rested on top of his pack and swung it over his shoulder. He meandered towards the little wet room on the far side and stopped briefly to look down at that purple shirt that lay neatly folded on Rin’s bed. He wondered if she dreamt about him the way he had about her. A small grin formed on his mouth at the thought as he finally looked away and walked into the room to get ready for the long afternoon ahead.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
“Good morning, sleepy head! I was getting worried I’d have to come and wake you up!” Rin cried from the table her and her other two guests were seated. She was waving her arm above her head as though Kakashi wouldn’t see them otherwise. The restaurant area wasn’t anywhere near as full as it was the night previous so finding them wouldn’t have been difficult but still he appreciated her beacon and raised a hand to her regardless. He plodded over to them in the hopes that they hadn’t eaten yet, he didn’t much fancy eating by himself. He planted himself in the empty chair next to Tenzou and slung an arm over the back of it before offering a raised hand to the group in greeting.
“You’re just in time, Kakashi-sempai, I was just about to go and order breakfast,” Tenzou beamed his eyes pinching closed with his smile that all but filled his face.
“So you weren’t even going to wait for me to turn up?” Kakashi questioned casually, turning his visual attention to the man sat next to him which seemed to turn the wood user to stone in an instant. He knew the comment directed at him hadn’t been callous in fact it was kindly meant but he couldn’t help but try and pull Tenzou up on it. It had been a while since he had last picked on him for something, at least a day, so it seemed to Kakashi that the poor man was overdue a good grilling.
“Uhm... well...K-Kakashi-sempai... I... uh...” he stuttered obviously struggling for the words he wanted to say. He eventually settled back in his chair and awkwardly scratched at the back of his head. It was always a howl making this guy squirm in his seat.
Kakashi vaguely noticed the two girls opposite switch glances but he chose not to react to them, that and he had a feeling they wouldn’t interject. He leaned over the table folding his arms across it and fixed Tenzou with another one of his blank stares before he chose to speak again.
“You know, Yamato, considering that you’re romantically involved with one of my disciples I find it quite rude that you were going to order without waiting for me to show up. I would have waited for you if the shoe was on the other foot because I respect you as a member of my team.”
“Kakashi-sempai, I didn’t mean...”
“Don’t you respect me as your team leader, Yamato?”
Kakashi placed a gloved hand on his chest and tilted his head slightly to one side as if to signify Tenzou’s haste really bothered him as the poor man just sat there gazing worriedly at him at a loss on how to defend himself. Eventually after regarding each other for a few minutes, Tenzou got to his feet and started to meander towards the bar.
“What would you like me to get for you, sempai?” he grumbled seeming that he was giving up on the argument and letting Kakashi get his own way again. The copy nin knew he would win anyway, he had a way with words when it came to his good friend Tenzou.
“Just toast is fine, thanks, Yamato,” Kakashi replied flatly with what he thought was a genuine hidden smile as Tenzou shot him a detestable glare before he turned around and made his way over to the serving area.
The copy nin leaned forward in his seat just watching after the only other man in the small group and chuckled quietly to himself over his latest victory until a very sharp pain struck him across the knuckles of one hand. The loud crack of skin on skin startled him and forced him to jump in his seat before he withdrew the offended limb with an inward hiss and cradled it against his chest as he raised his eyes to the culprit who had just slapped him.
“Ow, Rin! What was that for?” he whined at the woman opposite who was just settling back in her seat but looking at him with fiery dark eyes and an un-impressed scowl.
“That was really mean, Kakashi! How would you like it if I did that to you?” she bit at him as she pointed an accusing finger towards him from which he recoiled automatically. Her expression wasn’t angry, it was hateful and her eyes burned through him like a hot cattle prod to the backside. Needless to say that the image of her still in his mind from his sexy dream soon dissipated at the site of those smouldering angry eyes.
Kakashi was dumbfounded, he never expected anyone to defend Tenzou the way she was doing. Everyone knew he liked to tease the guy from time to time, it was just something he did and no one had ever really questioned it but it seemed that Rin seemed so offended by his actions that he started to feel quite guilty about it.
“It was just a joke...” he started in a surprisingly small voice while he continued to tenderly rub his sore knuckles until Sakura interrupted him and began to fight his corner much to the copy nin’s utter delight.
“Yeah, Rin-sensei. He was only kidding. Yamato never takes it personally anyway,” she giggled hunching her shoulders a little when Rin spun her head to look at her.
It seemed that the dark haired kunoichi wasn’t at all convinced as she slowly settled her eyes on Kakashi again which made him want to sink into his chair like a naughty child that had been caught in the act. The look on her face said it all ‘I’ll drop it... for now.’ Before she quickly looked away and sipped at her mug of hot coffee.
Either Rin genuinely thought Kakashi was an asshole (at this moment in time he sure felt like one) or she was just in a bad mood, secretly he actually hoped it was the former at least then he would be able to apologise at some point and get on her good side again. If it was the latter then today was going to be one hell of a long day and he had a horrible feeling that he would be bearing the brunt of it.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Luckily for Kakashi breakfast wasn’t as awkward as he thought it would be. Rin wasn’t one for holding grudges anyway but he’d had a gut feeling that she would try and make him apologise to Tenzou for picking on him at the table. Thankfully she didn’t. If anything she had dropped the matter almost instantly and it hadn’t taken her and Kakashi long to start playing footsy with each other under the table even if it did get out of hand and she ended up kicking him a little too hard in the shin. It was all in good fun and the copy nin never enjoyed laughing so much as he did recently even if the other two stared at him when he did so like he was an alien. It wasn’t like he really cared what they thought anyway.
It had taken some time but the copy nin had finally managed to coax his female counterpart into venturing into town after Sakura and Tenzou had decided to go off on their own for the morning. That was fine with Kakashi, though he would have liked nothing more than to just sit in his room and read naughty books all morning he had someone else’s interests to tend to. It was going to do Rin no good just sitting indoors staring at four walls waiting for the inevitable. She would drive herself crazy doing things like that.
Today was a huge day for Rin, possibly a day that she had been dreading since finding out that she had to come back here and Kakashi had taken it upon himself to do his best to keep her mind off it for the morning. This mission wasn’t like the missions he was used to. Tracking and capturing enemies and beating them either into submission or killing them outright for the name of his village and his country.
This was a retrieval mission for a fallen comrade who had died trying to help another village in need, there was no target to hunt and there was no one to blame, this instance was just one of those unfortunate occurrences that happened from time to time. It was a sad story, sad and tragic but he hated the idea of Rin dwelling on this fact when she really didn’t need to, not right now anyway. He didn’t want this whole trip to be thwarted with terrible memories. Just one good memory would be enough to at least make her smile when she would eventually look back on it.
At first she had fought against him, saying she was fine and she didn’t feel like going out apparently preferring to ‘bum around’ as she had so gracefully put it, but here they were now wandering the brightly sunlit streets of Machenich and actually enjoying themselves. Again, as he took to looking around the pretty town with an aspired awe, he wished he would be able to come back one day on more sociable terms.
He briefly thought about putting it to Rin bluntly and asking if she would want to come back this way as a sort of vacation, just her and him. But he banished the idea pretty much as soon as it came. It was stupid to think that she would even want to come back here, especially after what she had told him the night before. She really didn’t like it here and her reasons for that were more than valid.
They both walked along the busy street side by side simply soaking up the warm summer sun and gazing at all the little trinkets and snacks the little stores on the strip had to offer. They had already been in a few stores just to look at their merchandise and although the shop keepers weren’t exactly friendly people what with their stony faces and equally cold attitudes towards them, not one had denied them access to their shops.
“I thought you said you were barred from a lot of these places,” Kakashi commented casually as he looked down at the girl that was linked into his arm with her own.
Rin glanced up at him seemingly bewildered by his statement before she shook her head and focused back on her path. “I was, but because a lot more shinobi medics started being stationed here I guess they must have changed their minds. Turning away ninja is like turning down money I suppose,” she sighed dismally.
Kakashi hummed in agreement as they continued to stroll down the strip and passed the little tea shop they had visited the day before. He felt himself speed up at that point not really wanting to be subjected again to the ogling eyes of the strange woman that owned it. Rin seemed really fond of Hime-sama, but Kakashi found her quite... scary, for want of a better term. She was old enough to be his mother and she had looked at him like he was lunch. The thought made him shudder. She may very well be a very nice lady, but Kakashi wasn’t keen on the idea of finding out any time soon. He certainly didn’t want to shake her hand again that was for sure.
It wasn’t long after that point when he felt the girl in his company pull a little on his arm prompting him to look down at her to see her gazing longingly at a shop window across the way. Together they came to a slow stop as Kakashi took to studying the windows contents.
It was a clothes shop, an expensive clothes shop by the look of the elaborate dress that hung on the mannequin behind the glass and it had a large neon lit sign that said the name Angel’s.
“Want to go and have a look?” he asked earning him another one of her astonished glances and a swift shake of her head.
“Oh, no, I’m okay. That place is really expensive. I can’t afford anything in there,” she replied meekly as she made a move to walk in the opposite direction.
He pulled her back into position gently with a firm tug of his arm before he responded. “So? That doesn’t mean we can’t just pop in and have a look.”
Rin just looked up at him with doleful eyes while she played the fabric of his sleeve in her fingers seeming unsure how to answer him.
“I know you want to,” he teased tilting his head to one side and winking at her as though to confirm what he’d just said as a fact.
“Okay, you’ve twisted my arm. But don’t blame me when I burst into tears because I can’t afford anything in there,” she fired back with a slight chuckle as she began to lead them both towards the shop.
The interior of the store was expansive and the décor overly decorative for a place that only sold pretty dresses. Maybe Kakashi was looking too far into it, or maybe because this was a shop just for women but surely the frocks on their own would be enough to attract customers. No wonder the place was so expensive; they needed the money just to pay for the decoration.
He noticed that Rin had long been attracted to a row of dresses on the far side of the shop and he decided to join her quickly after spying the older woman behind the counter looking him over with fierce eyes and a fish like scowl pulling at her mouth. Kakashi found himself smiling at her nervously as he turned on his heel and stood next to his female companion just to show her that he wasn’t in here by himself.
“See something you like?” he asked as he saw the medic lift the skirt of a black dress in front of her as though she was examining the fabric.
She sighed dismally as she let it fall from her hands before she turned around and motioned to walk away. “No, let’s just go,” she murmured flatly, her face set in a discontented scowl as she went to walk past him were it not for Kakashi planting his hands on her shoulders and forcing her stand in front of him.
“What’s the matter?” he muttered keeping his voice low so the scornful woman at the counter couldn’t hear them as he bowed his head towards her. He saw her grimace a little before she looked up at him.
“Nothing, I just can’t afford anything in here, that’s all,” she muttered back.
The look in her eye told him that this was only partly true. The clothes in this store were expensive but there was something else hanging in her features that she was unwilling to disclose but he knew he didn’t have to ask her to. It was obvious what was troubling her and all Kakashi could do at that moment was squeeze her shoulders to let her know that he was aware of her situation that she was dreading that afternoon. No amount of consoling and soul searching was going to make her feel any better about it so for now the subject was better left unspoken.
“I’m going to ask you again and I want you to be honest with me this time,” he scolded lightly, arching a brow at her to ensure she knew he meant what he said.
Rin opened her mouth to speak but he intercepted her before she had the chance to protest.
“I want to know if you’ve seen something you like.” He spoke softly still as he released one of her shoulders from his grip as she turned back towards the black dress she had been handling moments ago.
She reached towards it and grasped the flare of material running her thumb over the glittery fabric as she held it up.
“I like this one,” she murmured a little shamefully.
Kakashi hummed at her letting his other hand fall from her and crammed both hands into his pockets. “Well, pick a size then,” he stated noting that he sounded impatient albeit unintentionally. His tone prompted Rin to turn and look at him sceptically.
“Huh?” she questioned as she grimaced confusedly at him and shook her head.
“You said you like that dress. You’ll need to pick your size or it’s not going to fit you is it?”
“I told you, I can’t afford it!”
“You’re not the one paying for it.”
Kakashi hadn’t planned on buying anything this morning, but he desperately wanted her to think about something other than her dreaded trip to the hospital. That and he felt she deserved a gift of some description, hell she had bought and done enough things for him since her return to Konoha. And the look on her face was worth every penny he was about to spend as her eyes shot open so wide he almost feared her eyeballs would just drop out of their sockets.
Eventually she gazed back down at the pretty frock in her hand before turning back towards him and shaking her head again.
“Kakashi, have you seen the price of this thing?” she hissed as she shot a sideways glance at the woman at the counter.
“I can afford it, it’s fine,” he chuckled back only to be sighed at again. But it wasn’t like he was lying. Kakashi was what one would call a penny pincher. He liked to look after his money because one never knew when one might desperately need it, it certainly helped when his team members would so graciously help him out when he had “conveniently” forgotten his wallet. He only bought things he needed such as food, household essentials and weaponry. Of course he had his collection of books but those were the only luxury he allowed himself, Kakashi never saw the need to live extravagantly and with only himself to clothe, feed and basically take care of there was no need to.
“No, it’s too steep, I can’t let you spend all that money on one thing,” she complained irritably as she tried again to move towards the door but again Kakashi wouldn’t give her the chance.
“Rin, I’m just trying to do something nice. What kind of a boyfriend would I be if I didn’t treat you to something every now and again?”
She didn’t answer straight away but she looked away briskly and hooked a strand of hair behind her ear when he had mentioned the term ‘boyfriend’. Her expression was so cute it was heart breaking and he still found it amusing that she was still so bashful about it all, secretly he hoped that would never change, her bashfulness was just one of the things he found so endearing about her. Eventually he lowered his head again hoping to catch her gaze just as she lifted her sights and their eyes connected.
“You’re not going to turn down my offer of a gift, are you?” he asked knowing that it was a question she really couldn’t say no to. She obviously liked the dress and he didn’t want to make her feel uncomfortable by thinking that this was some kind of payback for the books she had given him or even some deranged loan because she couldn’t afford the garment herself. It was as he had stated, a gift, not just to help her take her mind off a certain upcoming event but also because he cared about her and felt she deserved it.
“You really don’t have to,” she squeaked flashing him that wonderful coy smile of hers while she hunched her shoulders at him. The flush on her cheeks deepened in colour slightly as she seemed to struggle to maintain eye contact with him.
“I know I don’t. Maybe I want to,” he replied softly with a smile of his own, though his was far more confident than hers.
“Are you sure? I mean, there are plenty of other places in town, I don’t really need the dress or anything...”
“Will you please just do as you’re told for once? Just pick a size,” he scolded again as he offered a hand out to the pretty black gowns behind her.
Dragging her lower lip into her mouth Rin took one more look behind her once more before turning her attention back to him with a grin that could almost fill her face.
“Thank you so much,” she breathed as she motioned away from him and began flicking through the dresses on the rack looking for the size she wanted.
Kakashi hated spending money, he was always so careful about how far his wages went but he would gladly spend every single penny to his name just to see that smile on her face.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Kakashi sat in the edge of his bed unable to wipe the triumphant smirk off his face as he watched Rin holding her new prized possession against herself and twirling around in front of the mirror on the door of the wet room.
“It’s so beautiful. I’ve always wanted a dress from Angel’s,” she sighed whimsically pulling at the skirt of the dress and spinning her body just once more as though she were actually wearing it.
“Just remember the deal, Rin,” Kakashi warned as he swung his legs onto the mattress and leaned himself back against the wall raising both arms to support the back of his head.
He saw her shoulders slump as she glanced at him out of the corner of her eye with an un-amused scowl. “I know, I know. You can’t wear it until we’re back home ‘coz I’m team leader and I’m awesome and shit,” she mocked her voice purposely lowering in pitch as she tried to replicate Kakashi’s voice albeit very poorly.
“That’s not quite what I said and I’m certain I don’t sound like that,” he retorted with a chuckle unable to fight against the smile that tugged at his lips at her lame attempt to mimic him.
Rin didn’t reply, she just smirked at her own reflection before she stepped away from the mirror and hung the pretty black garment in front of her to examine it once more. Eventually she blew out a sigh as she crouched in front of her pack rolling the dress up carefully in her arms and packing it neatly out of sight.
Kakashi was certain that she was going to look amazing in that dress and he thought briefly of asking her to try it on again now they were back in the hotel room but he figured making her wait would give her at least a little bit of something to look forward to when they got back home. Chances were that she was looking forward to going home anyway.
Rin straightened herself once she’d zipped her pack back up and meandered towards Kakashi who was still just lounging on his bed.
“Thank you so much, Kakashi! I love it! Now I just need some shoes and a handbag to go with it!” she chirped stopping at his feet and clapping her hands together happily with a smile so wide it almost filled her entire face.
Kakashi just laughed at her the action forcing his eyes closed, not entirely sure how to respond because ... well ... he hadn’t bought that many gifts in his time. The fact that she truly appreciated his generosity made him feel good, maybe he should buy her things more often, but it wasn’t like she didn’t deserve it. She’d already spent a fortune on those books she’d given him, goodness knows how much the television set cost that she had left at his apartment and then there was the wonderful backrub she had given him the night before. She deserved something, even if he considered the pretty dress to just be a little bit of something.
Before Kakashi had even finished chuckling he felt his body dip into the mattress forcing him to open his eyes with a start to see Rin sat on her knees directly in front of him between his legs. He eyed her over noting how her shoulders were hunched a little and the slight flush that was now dusting the bridge of her nose. Raising his sights their eyes connected and he saw how dark they had become, burning into him as he simply sat there and gazed back. Her expression was a little confusing to his senses initially but it still made that familiar heat flare up in the pit of his stomach.
“Rin, what are you doing?” he murmured feeling his own fingers tightening in his hair at the back of his head, he knew exactly what she was doing and why he had even asked that question to begin with was beyond him. He wanted to move to just get out of this unbearably uncomfortable position this woman was putting him in but he had a feeling that she knew exactly what she was doing. He wasn’t sure if it was unfortunate that he found himself rooted to the spot.
Her eyes dropped to the space between them before they returned to his face as she shifted a hand and moved herself slowly closer like a cat stalking her prey. “I’m thanking you for the gift, Kakashi,” she whispered her lips now mere millimetres away from his.
The way she’d just said his name sent his head reeling and he heard his own breath hitch in his throat; her voice had been so soft, sensual and downright sexy. She sounded like the Rin in his dream that morning and he felt his eyes widen as it suddenly dawned on him what was happening. Kakashi tried to move his head back as he lowered his arms but the wall obstructed his movement and instead he just sat there and swallowed audibly before Rin gently placed her mouth over his own.
He couldn’t help himself feeling his body succumb to her advance and letting his eyes flutter shut as he responded to her instantly. He felt her lips part against his which encouraged him to part his own and seek out her tongue as he removed his hands from behind his head and threaded his fingers into her soft glossy hair. Her kiss was so soft, gentle and sensuous and Kakashi had no choice but to dance to her tune as she kissed him.
Rin shifted her position using her hands on his shoulders to support her weight as she moved closer, her slim and gorgeous body closing the space between them as she wrapped her legs around his midriff which sat her higher than he was forcing him to crane his neck upwards.
The kiss broke when Kakashi pulled away slowly and gazed up at her as she simply sat on his lap and gazed back with a soft pretty smile on her lips.
“What’s a beautiful girl like you doing with a guy like me?” he all but whispered returning her smile as hers widened at the compliment.
“You think I’m beautiful?” she asked meekly doing her usual thing and hooking stray strands of hair behind her ear.
Running a hand through her hair again Kakashi chuckled at her response. She didn’t seem to question why their relationship existed thought that was all he’d done every day since she’d come home. Maybe he should stop questioning it and just learn to enjoy the fact that he wanted her and the feeling was more than mutual.
“Anyone who says otherwise needs to have their eyes checked,” he responded coolly and meaning every word.
She didn’t reply but instead leaned towards him again as he did towards her and resumed the kiss that he had initially broken. There was no battle for dominance, no desperate need to pull and tear at each other’s clothes to get to bare skin, just them and their gentle sweet kiss and the embrace that held them close to each other. That was until a strange repetitive beeping sound filled the air.
Rin was the one that pulled away this time as she lurched back, flicking her wrist towards herself and fumbling with the buttons on her watch to silence the alarm she had set earlier to let them know when it was time to complete the mission they had been sent here to do.
She sat there for a while simply gazing down at her watch the warm smile faded into a discontented pout as she struggled to focus herself. It was time to leave and she didn’t want to go.
“Rin...?” Kakashi murmured stroking her face with the tips of his fingers to gain her attention but startling her instead as she jumped a little on his lap and lifted her head sharply.
He didn’t say anything, she knew what time it was and she didn’t need it confirming but still she decided to lean into him resting her head in the hollow of his shoulder as she wrapped her slender arms around him.
“Just five more minutes, please?” she croaked squeezing him a little tighter as she spoke.
Again Kakashi chose not to answer; instead he just enveloped her with his own arms and rested his cheek on the top of her head using his hands on her shoulders to pull her tighter into the embrace as he reflected on the situation.
He recalled their conversation before they had entered the village gates and how petrified she seemed of taking even another step. He remembered her saying how unprepared she felt about seeing her team leader in his current state. The latter was unavoidable, they both knew this but Kakashi was going to allow her the extra five minutes she’d requested because he truly believed that even now she was still just as terrified as she was the day before.
Though he saw it as his own task to protect her, like he had promised Obito all those years ago, Kakashi knew he couldn’t shield her from this.
