First of all I�d like to thank everyone who reviewed, much appreciated! It
truly was. I would also like to say to the person who said that I didn�t seem
to put the same care and emotion into the arguments as the descriptions you are
totally right and I do apologise for that. I didn�t even notice I wasn�t doing
so. I hope that within this chapter will be better descriptions and that it
will live up to expectations more.
This chapter didn�t seem to go over quite so well on FF.net as the first one
did but to be quite honest I am not really here to be validated as an author, I
am just writing these things for fun so whether people like my works or not, I
don�t give a crap to be honest. There written by me, for me and about things I
like. So yeah anywho next chapter and all that hope
at least someone enjoys it like I did and once again thanks for all and any crits and reviews.
I�m out for now, until the next time which will be um well when I get round
to posting it. lol

xXx
Half way through the night Kakashi put his book
away and slipped on his red and white wolf mask before cradling Sakura in his
arms as he slowly but surely jumped from the branch to the ground. With as
little disturbance as possible he placed her carefully on her bed roll and
without making a noise he moved over to Genma and
woke him to take over his half of night duty.
He got up immediately, placing his porcupine mask over his face and leaping
into the tree that Kakashi himself had just vacated ninjatō in hand. The silver haired man took possession
of Genma�s bed roll, seeing no need to pull his own
out when there was already one there and it would be warm to. He lay his red and white mask down next to him along with his
own ninjatō and resting upon Genma�s
pack as said man had done before and he closed his eyes swiftly desperate not
to let them wander over the alluring form of his pink haired team mate
currently blissfully asleep opposite him. With a sigh he rolled over to face
the other way in the hopes of getting what little respite he could.
Genma watched his silver haired team mate from the
height of the tree and noticed he seemed reluctant to look at the pink haired
teen on front of him and he chuckled. �Looks like I�m not the only one who�s
checked out her ass.� He thought to himself. �This should be an
interesting mission. I wonder what she�d think if she knew he�d checked her out
just as I did.� He chuckled at the thought, he�d almost like to see Sakura
kick Kakashi�s ass just for fun so that he could say
that he obviously wasn�t the only one who had been staring. But he was fairly
sure that Kakashi would manage to get away with
watching her every now and again, he wasn�t the famous Sharingan
Warrior for nothing after all, in fact he was certain
Kakashi would get away with it, something he himself
didn�t seem able to manage at all. Of course there was the fact that he totally
wasn�t trying to be discreet about it all. He was after all Genma
Shiranui, third biggest pervert in Konoha, well male anyway, there
was always the very real possibility that he might just actually be beaten to
the third slot by none other than Anko Mitarashi if you factored the women of the village into the
equation. That woman was insatiable and Genma would
know, she�d gotten him drunk on one or two occasions� but those were
memories he�d rather not bring up.
Leaning against the trunk of the tree he sighed and kept his eyes open for
any dangers as his team mates slept blissfully, unaware of his thoughts. For
which he was very thankful, he had a feeling that Sakura would send him flying
all the way through the Daimyo�s mansion and beyond if she knew and Kakashi well they were friends sure they were and though he
couldn�t deny that he�d seen the way Kakashi
deliberately avoided the new female of their team he knew the silver haired guy
would most likely kill him for some of the thoughts he�d had about the Cherry
Blossom.
xXx
Genma stayed on watch till the early hours of the
morning when the glowing rays of the sun bathed the entire area in gorgeous
tones of lustrous oranges, sumptuous bubble gum pinks that rivalled the hair
colour of the teen below him, blazing yellows that set the sky aglow with light
and heat and a slight hint of a bluish purple left over as the night faded and
the dawn arrived. Nothing interesting had happened during his watch and he was
kind of disappointed about it really. It wasn�t exactly like he was hoping for
trouble but well he hadn�t had much action in the form of missions for a while
and the monotony of another bright, cheerful day without the possibility of a
fight was beginning to grate on his nerves a little, not to mention the fact
that other frustrations were of course creeping upon him. The pink haired teen
travelling with them was of course the main source of his frustrations, how
could she not be, the baby fat that once made her face slightly rounded was
gone and in it�s place was a slim, delicate face, with piercing jade green eyes
that seemed just made to draw men in, exotic naturally pink hair, a slim and
muscular yet completely feminine figure poured quite literally into a skin
tight clingy black uniform and those heeled, knee high boots drove him to the
edges of distraction.
�I know we�re on a mission but I need to get laid, and bad!� He thought
to himself as he jumped down from the branch to rouse his team mates. He
decided that waking Kakashi first was safest. He�d
leave the kunoichi to her former sensei after all she
never threatened Kakashi with bodily harm, and he on
the other hand, well he seemed to incite homicidal
rage within the girl. With this in mind he walked over to his friend and shook
him gently by the shoulder.
�Time to get going Taichou.�
Genma said as he awakened, knowing that being so
close to the Daimyo�s mansion it was all the more important to stick to their
codenames so as not to be found out, so it was either Taichou
or Wolf, but Taichou had just slipped from his lips
first, it felt far more natural.
Kakashi sat up and shook his head, eliminating any
residual traces of sleep and his gaze shifted briefly to the pink haired teen
still asleep. �Figures he�d be an asshole and leave her waking to me. I
wonder if I�ll actually survive this or if she�ll kill me for it. Only one way to find out.� Kakashi
sighed and ran a hand through his unruly mop before standing up and walking
over to where Sakura lay, blissfully serene and beautiful in her sleep.
�Time to get up Panther.�
�Huh? Wha?... Oh, ok Senpai, I�m up.� She replied with a yawn as she sat up and
glanced around her at the stunning sunrise before her.
Kakashi walked away from her to his pack and
pulled the pot and the coffee from it, moving back he relit the fire and placed
the pan over it, pouring water into it to boil. Whilst he waited for that to
happen he poured the coffee granules into the three cups and pulled an energy
bar out of his pack and handed it to Sakura. She caught it with a smile and
un-wrapped the unappetising but nutritionally well balanced food bar. She ate
it quickly and by the time she was done Kakashi was
handing her a steaming cup of coffee. Taking it from him gratefully she placed
it on the floor and pulled her brush out of her pack once more.
�What time is it do you think?� Sakura asked quietly.
Kakashi gave a quick glance over the surrounding
area and then turned to her. �5 am.� He said judging from the shadows spilling
into their little clearing and the low setting of the sun.
�You can tell that accurately?� She asked awed.
�Well�� He began rubbing that back of his head slightly sheepishly. �Give or
take 15 minutes either way but yes.�
Sakura giggled a little at that and took a quick second to look at that
beautiful summer�s morning rising above them. The myriad of colours in the sky
gave rise to the fact that it was going to be an absolutely stunning day that
day. Genma just rolled his eyes and drank his own
coffee silently.
Quickly Sakura ran her brush through her long pink locks and eliminated all
the knots in it. Her fingers moved with surprising dexterity and she very
quickly plaited the entire length and tied it off with the band she�d used
yesterday. With equal speed she quickly flipped the plait back towards the top
of her head and tied it off a second time out of the way. With that done she
retrieved her coffee cup and began to sip the hot dark liquid happily. She sat
only half listening to the plan Kakashi was outlining
to Genma for the day seeing as he�d already told her
last night she didn�t really feel the need to go through the whole thing again
with him. She rinsed her mouth out with water from her bottle and brushed her
teeth whilst the other two were busy, spitting the remains into the grass and
cleaning out the coffee cup she placed it down near Kakashi.
Reaching for her bottle once more she splashed some of the water over her face,
partly to clean her face partly to get rid of any last vestiges of sleep that
remained.
�What?� She asked when she noticed both males were watching her. �Oh I get
it, you�re wondering what I�m doing. Is it because you�re both male and
therefore have no concept of what washing is for or what I�m even doing?� She
asked sweetly, almost too sweetly and Genma shook his
head at her distinctly sarcastic morning demeanour, Kakashi
meanwhile just chuckled and gave her the traditional eye crease.
She smirked back and made sure that all her belongings were packed safely
away in her pack. When she was done Kakashi opened
his mouth to speak once more.
�I have been informed that if our investigations don�t go as planned after a
while and we gain no information or there are no signs of another assassination
attempt we may have to go undercover as staff or family friends of the Daimyo.
This is of course a last ditch attempt to gain information only to be
undertaken should things not go our way otherwise. Porcupine however will be
allowed to undertake this role from the start though as someone will
undoubtedly notice that the rooms the Daimyo has provided us are being used. If
they never see anyone at all that will be all together to suspicious. Civilian
clothing will be provided for you Porcupine. Understand?�
�Hai Taichou.� Both
Sakura and Genma replied at the same time.
Kakashi was a little surprised at that, it was the
first time she�d called him Taichou, although it was
admittedly a good thing. For her to call him Senpai
just in case they were overheard at some point just wasn�t the best thing. He
just felt safer with her calling him Taichou, of
course ideally they should both refer to him as Wolf but he had a feeling he
would be hearing Taichou a lot more than that.
�Then are we ready to leave? We have to get there ASAP,
we�re expected at 8 am.�
�Lead the way Wolf.� Genma said with a smirk on
his lips, he slipped the senbon from between his lips
and replaced it in his weapons pouch whilst pulling his Anbu
mask on.
Sakura placed her own mask over her face, put her ninjatō
on her back and pulled her pack onto her shoulders.
With a brisk nod at both of them, the fire was cleared away and all traces
of their impromptu camp site vanished and they leapt through early morning sun
rays that warmed them as the sky slowly changed from the cocktail colours it
had previously been to a clear, bright blue with not a cloud to be seen in the
sky.
Sakura looked up at the sky and couldn�t help a slight longing to be back in
Konoha, surrounded by her close friends, Ino, Hinata and TenTen and Temari to, if she was
visiting from Suna and just to lie in the grass of
one of the grassier and less muddy training fields as they gossiped, chatted
about boys and warmed their skin beneath the golden rays. It was shaping up to
be one of those days that made you truly happy to be alive and just want to
relax in its beauty. She gave out a small sigh however at the knowledge that
she wouldn�t be doing that for quite some time from what she could gather. They
had no leads, the Daimyo was obviously in danger at every turn and kami only knew how long it would be before another attempt
was made on the mans life or possibly even the life of his pretty young wife.
Making their way through the brilliant emerald green foliage of the trees
around them the three remained in contemplative silence, and kept every last
nerve alert for any signs of trouble.
xXx
The trio burst through the trees to the edge of the tree line and hung back
a little to get a good glance at their surroundings. The mansion was a stunning
piece of architecture, golden pale brown stone work made up the main parts of
the mansion, whilst white columns reached from the bottom floor to the edge of
the roof just above the 3rd floor. The roof had gold coloured accents running
all around the edges of it and there appeared to be a rather beautiful garden
atop the roof, complete with gold and white statues and the most vivid flowers
Sakura had ever seen. Bright fuchsia�s, startling teal�s and rich indigo�s
filled the roof with their bright display and Sakura found herself for a second
wandering what it would be like to live in such a place. Before she thought to much about it she realized that despite the beauty of
this place she was glad she�d grown up in Konoha. The
pale and bright pinks of the Cherry Blossom tree�s that she was so aptly named
after were every bit as pretty as the flower garden before them. The house was
set back from most other places, with sprawling lawns of shining healthy green
grass, a large orchard was set behind the building and a medium sized park,
complete with swings, a slide, a sand pit with a few toys like buckets and
spades and a small roundabout situated near by.
�Ok.� Kakashi said to both Sakura and Genma. �We are to enter the building through the window to
the Daimyo�s personal quarters, we will speak to Yamakeshi-san
and then we will deposit our packs in our rooms and take off for a search of
the grounds.��
�Hai.� Sakura said
nodding at him.
Genma gave a tilt of his head to say he understood
and then they took off, skirting around the back of the mansion to the window Kakashi had been informed they were expected at. Reaching
it, the silver haired Anbu looked at his two
subordinates and with a tilt of his head, he descended from the tree line and
landed upon the ledge of the opened window. They watched as he hopped on
through and Genma moved to copy him. Sakura waited
until Genma was through the window before she to,
joined the occupants of the room.
As she stepped nimbly down from the window ledge and straightened up, she
raised her eyes and scanned them around to take in the decoration. The room was
outfitted in deep, rich burgundies with more golden coloured accents. The king
size four poster bed was adorned with a dark red silk sheets and hanging from
the walnut coloured wood were organza drapes, that could be drawn around the
bed allowing only a fuzzy view of the beds occupants were they to be closed.
And the windows of the room were lined with heavy velvet drapes that hung from
more walnut coloured poles.
�Everything in this room probably cost�s more than my own apartment and
furniture put together!� Sakura thought incredulously.
�Ah you�re early I see. Very good start I�d say.� A deep voice said as the
door to the bed chamber was opened.
�Ohayougozaimasu Yamekeshi-san.� Kakashi
said stepping forward to greet the shorter man.
The three leaf shinobi took the time to give the
Daimyo a glancing over. His black hair was short in the front reaching just to
the end of his nose but trailed down to brush the top of his collar at that
back. His skin was a golden brown and his eyes were a startling shade of
orangey brown. He looked to be possibly a bit older than Genma
although his slight build and short stature made him seem somewhat younger, so
it was hard to guess his age with ease.
�Konnichiwa.� He said turning to look at them all
in turn when his gaze flitted to Sakura his eyebrow raised a little. �A girl?�
Kakashi felt Sakura tense at those words, her aura
changing to a very dark, dangerous one and he placed his hand on her shoulder.
�It�s not a good idea to kill the client or beat him half to death either for
that matter.� He whispered gently into her ear before turning his masked face
back to Matsuhara. �Is there a problem with that?
She�s fully qualified and more than capable of protecting you. Were you not
informed of this matter� Yamakeshi-san?� Kakashi asked more than a little confused seeing as they�d
been given two rooms, he kept his feelings hidden well but inside he seethed
with anger and barely kept it dripping from his voice as to the chauvinistic
attitude of the Daimyo.
�I was informed there would be three of you and I set aside two rooms seeing
as the spare rooms on this floor only have two beds in each and I thought that
one of you may not wish to sleep on the floor. Plus the only rooms
with a connecting door between the bedrooms is the one my brother in law
and his wife use, so that they can reach their children in case they have a
nightmare quickly and easily. I had no idea there would be a female in the
group. I just thought those two rooms would be the best ones for your stay.� He
said unsure of himself, despite Kakashi�s disguised
anger he�d seen him stiffen just a fraction at his words of there being a girl
in the midst.
�Well now you do. Shall we get down to business Yamakeshi-san?
Anything you can tell us might be of importance no matter how insignificant you
may feel it to be.� Kakashi replied once more with a
slight sting of venom in it as if the fact that Sakura was there was irrelevant
to the topic in hand, which of course it quite rightly was.
�Yes yes.� Matsuhara
said moving to sit on the edge of his bed as he waved his hand around as if to
dismiss the previous uneasiness.
Kakashi leaned himself against the wall, one leg
crossed slightly in front of the other with arms folded across his chest, Genma pulled up the wooden chair that was by the dressing
table and after offering it to Sakura and receiving a shake of her head as a no
he flipped it around and straddled it his arms laying on the back piece, his
head resting a top of them. Sakura opted to stand flat against the wall, one
knee slightly bent whilst the other remained straight. She left her right arm
straight at her side and brought the other across her stomach to hold her right
arm just above elbow and all three looked at the Daimyo expectantly. After Kakashi�s nod that hinted he should start at the beginning
and tell them about the recent attempts on his life he did so, wearily and
clearly reliving painful memories.
�Well as you know I have had three assassination attempts upon my life in
the last month. The last one was the closest brush I�ve ever had, had it not
been for my loyal guard Sakishi coming to my aid, my
children would be fatherless right now.� He pasued
here and gave out a sigh before continuing. �I have no idea why it�s suddenly
sprung up or who is behind it. There haven�t been any clues at all so far and
as I am sure your Hokage informed you I trust no one
at this point. I have been informed that you three are some of the best shinobi in your village so I hope you will be able to help
me resolve all of these issues and save my life.�
�Hmm, so things were ok until a month ago? You haven�t changed anything in
Valley or been too harsh to a member of staff perhaps?�
�No. Not a thing has been done differently lately.�
�Very well Yamakeshi-san. We would be most
grateful if we could be shown to our rooms now. We have a few matters to
discuss before we scout the surrounding area.�
�Of course. My wife Yuriko will show you to your
rooms, I�d have a servant do it but I�m sure you understand I�m a little
fearful of which ones I can trust right now. I am extremely grateful for your
presence.�
�Douitashimashite. We
will endeavour to find those responsible as quickly as possible Yamakeshi-san.�
With a nod at Kakashi once more Matsuhara moved to the door of his bed chamber and opened
the door to reveal a delicate, young woman in an ice blue kimono, her pure
white hair, hung down loose to her waist and her eyes were a shade of pink
almost the same colour as Sakura�s hair. She bowed to her husband and gave a
small gasp when her eyes alighted on the three imposing Anbu.
�Oh! She gasped quietly.
�Yuriko. Please show our guests to their rooms.�
�Right away my love.� She turned to the three shinobi and bowed to them before turning and walking down
the corridor a little. �This way please.�
Kakashi moved after her and Genma
and Sakura fell into step behind him. She stopped a few doors down the corridor
in front of another wooden door. This one not quite as dark as the door to the
Daimyo�s personal quarters, nor was the panelling quite so fancy and yet it was
of course clearly obvious the dark wood was expensive and probably worth as
much as Kakashi�s entire kitchen. Yuriko slipped a
small brass key from her pocket and unlocked the door. She swung it open for
the three ninja to be able to tell that their was no
danger contained within before she moved forward into the room addressing Kakashi and Genma as she did so.
�This will be your room��
�Wolf...� Kakashi said pointing to himself and
then Genma. ��and Porcupine.�
�Ah very well, this is to be your room Wolf, Porcupine. The civilian
clothing I was told you would need is on top of the right hand bed, you will
have full permission to wander where ever you may wish to get what you need to
solve this matter, we have told everyone you are a distant relative of Matsuhara�s by the name of Hansuke.
The bathroom is through that door to the left and the one on the right is a
connecting door to your room��
�Panther.� Sakura said stepping forward.
�Here is the key to the connecting door and the key to your main door.
Panther you will find you have your own bathroom to the right of your room. I
hope you will enjoy your stay and be able to find the culprit who threatens my
husband soon. Either my maid in waiting or I shall be in every day to change
your bathroom towels and your sheets every other day. We cannot ask our other
maids to do so since neither my husband nor I have complete faith in all staff
members right now. She however has been my best friend since we were small
children. I trust her with my life, she does not
however know who you are only that we have guests using these rooms.�
�I would like any and all details and information on this woman before she
is allowed to enter these rooms if you wouldn�t mind. I have to check every
eventuality and if she is entering the rooms we will be using then we need to
know everything possible about her.�
�Of course Anbu-san. I
shall bring you all the information possible as soon as possible. I will get on
it straight away.�
�Domo Arigato Yuriko-san.� Kakashi
said bowing slightly to the almost frail looking woman.
�Domo arigato for your presence Anbu-san.�
She replied bowing back before exiting out of the room and heading back towards
her husband.
�Spread out, check the room for listening devices or hidden cameras.� Kakashi informed Genma and Sakura
almost inaudibly.
�Hai.� They replied
before all three moved off.
Kakashi opened his left eye and allowed his sharingan to scan the room for anything out of the
ordinary. All three scanned every inch of the room and after 15 minutes of
intensive searching they concluded that the room was safe. It was now a mess
but it was bug free. They had stripped the curtains from the pole, the sheets
were now hanging off the bed�s and the mattress had
been overturned and the underside of the bed checked thoroughly. Sakura moved
to remake the bed�s and tossed the key to the connecting door to Kakashi for them to search her room. With that done she
then proceeded to scan the entire bathroom for anything that shouldn�t be there
or looked suspicious. With nothing to find she walked back into the bedroom
just as Kakashi and Genma
made their way back through the adjoining door.
�Anything?� She asked turning to them and pulling
up her mask so that they could talk without a barrier between them.
�Nothing. All rooms are completely clean.� Genma said removing his own mask whilst Kakashi
moved their bags to underneath the bed on the left of the room.
�Ok so before we go scouting the surrounding area we have a few things to
discuss.� Kakashi replied walking back to Genma�s side, and sliding his mask up on top of his head.
�It seems that Yamakeshi-san truly has no idea who
is behind these attacks.�
�You�re right. I didn�t detect even a hint of a lie coming from him.� Sakura
replied brightly.
Kakashi just raised his eyebrow at her before
continuing on. �For the moment this makes our job that much harder, but not
impossible.�
�So it�s looking like we might just have to wait until another attempt is
made on the Daimyo�s life and try to capture the one who�s doing it alive.� Genma answered.
�Precisely. We don�t have much choice right now. We
will just have to watch over him and make sure any future attempts are not
successful and hope we catch them sooner rather than later.�
�Understood Taichou.�
�Very well, Panther go make sure your stuff is secured and I think it would
be best if you cast a genjutsu on the room. Then come
back here and we�ll leave on patrol.�
�Hai.� She replied
walking through the door and inspecting her own room for the first time.
It was of course the same as Kakashi and Genma�s or almost anyway, instead of twin beds there was
one double bed, that was on the smaller size as far as double beds went but
still plenty big enough for two people to share. Dark wood made up the frame of
the bed, the flooring matched the frame rather well, and the walls were painted
a creamy, golden colour. She was annoyed to see that once more Genma had overturned the double bed, mattress and all the
sheets without a single thought as to the fact that she would have to right it
all. It was obvious that he hadn�t even thought to try and place things
back to their previous positions. Swiftly she pushed the walnut bed frame back
to where it belonged, picked up the mattress and placed the clean bedding on
top, planning on tidying them when she got a chance later. Sakura looked toward
the large window situated at the end of the room that looked out on the orchard
and she grinned at the beautiful view before sliding her pack under the bed
opposite the adjoining door and casting a genjutsu
around the room that made it look neat and tidy and would prevent anyone from
being able to see the unmade bed or find her pack currently underneath it.
With her protection in place she moved to the door that led into the
corridor, making sure it was securely locked before moving back to the
connecting door and into Kakashi and Genma�s room, slipping her mask back over her face as all
three of them made their way to the window. Kakashi
leapt onto the ledge and looked over his shoulder at his team mates.
�Porcupine go watch over the North end of the
compound, Panther take the West, I�ll take the East and we�ll all meet later at
the South end. Just meet there when you have finished checking out the
surrounding area and the security contained there in.�
Kakashi vanished to the left, Gemna
followed and immediately made his way up to the roof of the building and then
disappeared towards the children�s play area and beyond, leaving Sakura to head
in the direction of the orchard once more.
xXx
Sakura patrolled the area to the west moving around the edge of the tall
walls that ran the entire length of the Daimyo�s grounds. The orchard she found, carried many different fruits, from apples, oranges
and lemons to Hachiya trees bearing Persimmon�s and
Japanese Plum Tree�s bearing Sumomo and Ume fruits. She marvelled at
the beautiful display of all the different trees and watched from her carefully
hidden vantage point as two guards patrolled past the orchard.
�Well at least they have some kind of patrol.� She muttered
sarcastically to herself before turning to her right where a slight commotion
was happening.
Upon making her way over there she was surprised to find a hidden walled in
area of the courtyard with cages running in rows down the left and right sides
of a path that ended in a tall iron gate. The noise Sakura had heard was coming
from the occupants of said cages. Peering down from her position she could see
into every one of the cages, that appeared to be only
the outside parts of the dog�s homes. For they had access to a covered bricked
in area as well as the outdoors areas. Taking a quick head count she counted 12
cages and 10 dogs in all. They all seemed to be in good health and apparently
the reason for the noise was the fact that it was feeding time. She was glad
that the security appeared to be better than she�d first assumed, ok so dogs
even ones the size of the ones currently before her weren�t likely to do much
against a well trained shinobi but she figured that
better than nothing and these ones looked like they were very well trained
guard dogs.
She heard the noise of more dogs off to the left a little and quick as a
flash made her way over there to observe the goings on. She arrived in a large
tree overhanging a medium size field that looked like it was specifically used
for the purpose of training the dogs and keeping them in top physical
condition. Below her stood two well built men, only a little taller than her in
stature but still to a civilian they would be rather imposing looking men. One
had a large ugly scar running from his bottom lip down his chin and a thick jet
black moustache over his top lip that matched the wild disarray of his short
hair perfectly. The other man dressed in what appeared to be a synthetic suit
with the traditional arm guard ran down the field his bald head glinting in the
morning sunshine. He waved his arm around and yelled out, taunting the remaining
two dogs that had been missing from the kennels earlier. She watched as the
darker haired man released the clips holding the two large, golden-red dogs
that Sakura immediately recognised as Tosa Inu�s captive by his side. The powerful dogs tore down the
field, fast and swift despite their large size and both lunged ferociously at
the arm guard of the larger man currently playing the roll of the aggressor in
the training exercise. The arm guard was quickly and efficiently pulled from
the blondes reach and the brunette moved forward to clasp the leashes back onto
the two dog�s collars. Immediately the dogs reverted from their previous attack
stance to a submissive, almost playful one as they looked up at their handlers.
She watched as the tough yet decidedly graceful pair were led back to their
kennel and provided with fresh water and food. Moving away from that area
feeling she�d seen the extent of the security there, which appeared to be more
than appropriate as she watched another pair of men who appeared to be possible
chuunin level shinobi
obviously under the Daimyo�s employ walk past on patrol. Returning once more to
her observations she could see clearly that there were at least 20 men
patrolling the grounds below, she could see them in the distance or else close
by as they walked past her observation post. The morning was wearing on as she
finished her observations of the west area of the compound. Everything appeared
to be in good synch and she could only presume that most of these protective
measures had been undertaken after the latest attempt on the Daimyo�s life. She
proceeded to inspect every last inch of the west area and when she was done the
sun had risen high in the sky signalling it was now
sometime close to noon.
She jumped through the trees at the edge of the grounds and followed the
tree line around to the South to await the arrival of her two team mates.
Reaching the edge of the woods the Daimyo�s mansion was situated in she stopped
in one of the largest evergreen trees and glanced around at the security at
this end of the grounds. She noted that two men, obviously shinobi
stood in front of the doorway, guarding the entrance and she noted another pair
inside of the guard hut situated right next to the wrought iron golden painted
gates. The security seemed to be pretty tight up this end to, and she watched
as two of the men walked past making their rounds.
She was only mildly surprised when a familiar voice said quietly from behind
her ear. �Yo�
�Taichou!� She grinned
happily turning to look at him through her ceramic mask. Although Kakashi couldn�t see the grin on her face he could very
clearly hear it in her voice.
�So first it was Senpai and now it�s Taichou?� He asked in a low voice, his eyebrow raising beneath his own mask.
�Well I know I should be calling you Wolf but it just� feels so weird.� She
replied shrugging.
A third familiar presence announced himself by jumping down on the branch,
of course his chakra was hidden perfectly but well they could just sense him
anyway. They weren�t two of the best shinobi in the
village for nothing. Beside which Kakashi�s keen
sense of smell had already picked up his familiar scent. Genma
landed beside them and they all turned to face each other.
�We should probably head back to our room before we start discussing the
security.� Kakashi said to the others.
�Hai. Shouldn�t we leave
someone on patrol though?� Sakura asked quietly trying not to sound like she
was implying Kakashi wasn�t doing his job right,
because she most certainly didn�t mean anything of the sort.
�We will. I was going to leave Pakkun and the rest
on guard.� He said jumping down between the trees.
He kept to the shadows of the trees and Genma and
Sakura jumped down by his side. Just as he bit into his thumb and prepared to
call the pack he watched as Sakura began to do the same thing. She could feel
his questioning gaze on her even with the mask on and gave out a quiet laugh.
�What? You thought you were the only one with summons?� She asked cockily.
�Tsunade taught you her summons?� Kakashi asked impressed.
�Yeah she did.� Sakura replied with a faint nod.
�Wow.� Geman whistled as both she and Kakashi set about calling their respective summons.
Pakkun and the other 7 dogs appeared before them
and the small brown pug wrinkled his nose a little as he looked around only to
find himself surrounded by Sakura�s blue and white slugs.
�Yo.� He said keeping his gaze continually on Kakashi and trying very hard to ignore the fact that one of
the large slimy creatures was rather too close to his right paw than he would
have preferred.
�Yo� Kakashi drawled
lazily as he looked down at his ninken.
�You need us for something?� Pakkun asked sitting
back on his haunches and scratching at his right ear with his back leg.
�Yeah. We need you to spread out and keep an eye
for any suspicious activity and try to hear anything anyone says whilst we
discuss our findings.�
�Got it boss. But what are they here for?� Pakkun asked titling his head towards the slug off to his
side.
�Ah well they�re Panther�s summons. They�re here to do the same job as you
guys.�
�Panther?� Pakkun asked
turning to view the slender woman by his master�s side. Cocking his head to the
left he regarded her warily and gave a small sniff before a grin spread across
his face. �Hey isn�t that your old student?� He asked happily. He�d always
secretly liked the pink haired girl, she was sweet and she gave a great belly
rub.
�Jeeze. I smell that bad
huh?� She asked laughing softly.
�Nah. I�d recognise you anywhere girly.� He replied
with a chuckle of his own.
�Well now that we�ve finished reminiscing would it be too much trouble to
get back to our jobs?� Kakashi asked bluntly.
�Yeah yeah.� Pakkun replied in mock irritation when of course in reality
he was all ears to his mission.
�You guys�� He pointed at his ninken. �And they��
here he pointed to Sakura�s slugs. �Will patrol the borders keeping hidden in
the shadows and keep your ears and eyes open to any and all dangers and
conversations you may happen across. We will join back in the patrol once we
have a chance to discuss our findings so far upon the compound�s security.�
�Got it.� Pakkun said
turning to the remaining pack members and with a glance at their master all 8
dogs dashed off in different directions.
Sakura�s slugs simply turned and made their way to various posts to keep an
eye on things whilst their mistress was busy. Kakashi
dashed off back to their quarters, Genma on one side
of him, Sakura the other.
Making their way through the window Genma stood
leaning against the wall nearest the door, his mask off and the standard senbon balanced carefully on his lower lip. Sakura opted to
sit on Genma�s bed, her mask on the bed next to her.
She sat with her knee�s bent and her feet resting flat against each other
whilst Kakashi pulled off his mask and lay back
lazily on the bed, one arm resting casually be his side the other resting
behind his head as a pillow even though he was in fact resting on the actual
pillow he still cushioned his head with his arm anyway.
�So what are your observations on the security around here?� Kakashi asked the room in general.
�It�s actually not too bad. I noticed a few shinobi
making the rounds. Apparently they�re chuunin level
and I think only hired after the latest attempt. But things seem to be pretty
tight around here now. I mean they could be better but its good enough.� Genma shrugged.
�Sakura?�
�Like Genma said, I saw a few shinobi,
possibly low level chuunin patrolling. And they have
dogs to.�
�Thought so.� Kakashi
muttered before asking his next question. �How many?�
�Twelve.� She replied. �A Doberman, an Alsatian, 2 Rottweiler�s, 4 Akita�s,
2 Kai Ken, and a gorgeous pair of Tosa Inu�s.� She replied remembering the stunning pair of
beauties she�d fallen in love with earlier for their spirit, strength and yet
they still had a gentle beauty, even whilst attempting to rip apart the
protective glove they�d pulled from the guys arm.
�I take it you liked the Tosa�s then.� Kakashi chuckled as he turned his head to the side to view
the pink haired teen.
�Yeah.� She muttered flushing a faint pink and
looking down at her feet.
Kakashi chuckled once more and thought to himself.
�She�s adorable when she blushes� Crap! Where the hell did that come from?�
He stopped himself just barely from groaning as he tried to push those thoughts
aside. He�d managed not to think of her in that way or to think of her at all
so far today since the early wake up. The fact that once again his thoughts had
returned to his ex-student worried and infuriated him. �Why
the hell did this have to happen now?! And just what the hell was
Tsunade thinking?!� He knew he�d asked himself
that same question time and again over the last few days but that didn�t change
the fact that he still had no idea what she was playing at nor why she would
even attempt something like this, more worrying to him however was the fact
that he was thinking of her in any kind of way that was clearly nothing to do
with student/teacher and obviously nothing to do with friendship either. �Shimatta!� He growled
inside of his head before shaking it clear it of those thoughts and turning to
his team mates once more.
�Ok well it seems the security is sufficient enough, or well it is now were
here anyway. I think we should all take just a little time to relax and eat
before we go back out on patrol. I don�t think we�ll need to patrol all day,
every day but we should be prepared to do it anyway.�
�Sure.� Sakura said with a smile.
�Uh huh.� Genma grinned
back.
�Good now grab something to eat and we�ll sort out shifts for the next few
days.�
Hai Taichou.� Both Genma and Sakura replied as Kakashi
lay back on the bed with his eyes closed, trying desperately not to think of
anything pertaining to a certain pink haired teen now situated in the next
room, if the sounds of running water, followed by the groan of beds springs as
she threw her small body on top of the bed were anything to go by. Once he
heard her go silent he picked up the folder that had rested on his bed,
obviously provided by Yuriko this was the information on her maid that he had
requested. He flipped open the first page and glanced at it, this seemed to be
the information kept on all staff members by the Daimyo�s security for it had
detailed descriptions and even included a picture of the woman.
He looked at the photo of the young red head, her smoke grey eyes and long
face gave her a rather haughty appearance and yet there was also a look in her
eyes that gave her almost unfriendly face actually look
softer and he supposed there was something vaguely pretty about the woman but
she wasn�t his type. He read through all the standard info,
Name: Akahana Sachuichi.
Age: 25.
Parents: Ichimoto Sachuichi
(Father) Chiemi Sachuichi
(Mother)
Country of Birth: Valley.
Job Position: Maid and Lady In Waiting to Lady Yuriko.
Span of employment: 10 years.
He then moved on to read the other info, including things about her life
etc. Her parents had been killed whilst she was only 16 in a raid leaving her
all alone, she had then moved in with her best friend Yuriko and her family.
When Yuriko had married the Daimyo 5 years ago at the age of 20 she had been
installed as Yuriko�s Lady In Waiting almost immediately as well as taking on
some maid work to cover her expenses for living there. It was all pretty
standard stuff and he found nothing in the entire folder that made him suspect
there was anything wrong with her, or that she had anything to do with the
current situation. He would of course keep an eye on her just to be sure
however. Dropping the file back down on the bed he lay back with his eyes closed
once more and his arms now moved back to rest beneath his head.
xXx
As the night drew in and the sky darkened Sakura watched as a black and
silvery white blur darted past her and into the surrounding woods with a
whispered �Yo� as he dashed past, before she jumped
from the tree nearest her window and landed on the floor just inside the
window, dropping down wearily on her bed. She�d been on patrol all day, Kakashi, Genma and her had worked
out the shifts for the next few days at least possibly longer so that she would
take the day shift with the two men taking over when she needed a break and
just so that she wasn�t on guard all day, Kakashi
would do what he�d been doing since the start of the mission which was take
over the first half of the night watch and Genma
would take over the second half of the watch.
With a groan she stood up from the bed and pulled the curtains closed before
she pulled off her mask, dropping it carefully onto the floor, she then slipped
her long black gloves and arm plates off her long arms and folded the gloves on
the bedside table. Sitting on the bed she leaned down and unbuckled her shin
guards, with that done she pulled her boots off her weary feet and placed them
by the side of the bed before she unzipped her full body cat suit and slid it
down her slender, toned body with a noise of contentment. She folded it
carefully placing it a top her gloves and stretched her body wearing nothing
but her specially dyed black bandages and bikini cut pants. She pulled her
sleep wear which consisted of a black lycra
tank top, with shorts that matched and her bathing stuff from her pack under
the bed and moved to the bathroom. She turned to water on and waited for it be
the right temperature humming to her self whilst it reached the correct temperature.
With the water just right she stepped in and scrubbed herself clean, not
wanting to take her time seeing as they were of course on a mission and she
wanted to be available or as close to that at all times. Sleep and hygiene were
something very important to her but for the sake of the mission she would forgo
either to make sure that the Daimyo was safe. She was very glad at the moment
that she didn�t have to do so however. Her slugs were on guard, no doubt Kakashi�s ninken still were to,
as well as the Copy Nin himself of course and she
could still hear Genma moving around his room so she
figured he was still up as well. Due to the fact that staff knew that someone
was staying in these rooms Lady Tsuanade and the
Daimyo himself had decided it might be best for one of them to appear around
the house every now and again, and of course Genma
being the least recognisable, considering Sakura had her pink hair and Kakashi�s red eye and silver hair were just easy to notice
had been chosen for this task. It was true they could have just used a henge but this way was just easier all round considering
The senbon user wasn�t in any ones bingo book and the
silver haired Anbu being the great Sharingan Kakashi was of course
in almost every ones book, Sakura being the highly recognisable pink haired Hokages apprentice actually had her name in a bingo book or
two, and to use to much chakra around the ninja that were currently in the
Daimyo�s employ wasn�t wise, so Genma being allowed
to be Genma was the best way to go about it seeing as
they had no idea what the shinobi working for Matsuhara Yamakeshi were truly
capable of even if they did only appear to be chuunin.
She stepped out of the shower turning off the water as she did so and
wrapping the fluffy towel that had been hanging from the railing by the side of
the bath around her slim body and purred in pleasure at the softness, as the
warm material kept the heat that had been dissipating since she stepped out of
the shower from leaving her. She dried herself fast and slipped on her
underwear, leaving off her bandages she tugged on her black tank top and
shorts. Walking back into the bedroom she placed the folded bandages on her
side with the rest of her Anbu gear and remade the
bed, putting the sheets back on. She then reached for her brush and brushed out
her long hair, tying it into a plait once more before slipping between the
sheets and grinning in happiness at the fact that she was sleeping in a bed
once more and this bed happened to be a lot more comfy than her own bed. She
lay back and almost immediately found the strains of her body disappearing,
every last muscle relaxing into rest as she fell into a sleep so peaceful not a
single dream made it�s way into her brain. Of course being the shinobi that she was, she wasn�t in such a deep sleep that
she wouldn�t be awake and ready at a moments notice should she be needed.
Sakura awoke halfway through the night sensing a presence by the window of
her room. She didn�t worry however, she knew that presence. She knew it all to
well in fact. Turning her head so that she could view the window, she groaned
and looked at him questioningly.
�Yo.� He said sounding if at all possible, a
little put out.
�and� wait is it me or does he sound
embarrassed and slightly apologetic?� She thought to herself confused
before looking at the figure currently hunched over like a large bird of prey
on her window sill.
�What do you want Senpai?� She asked wearily,
groaning into her pillow again. �I�m obviously not needed for patrol or
anything seeing as you would have just dragged me out of bed and yelled at me
to get dressed or something. So what is it?�
�Um� Well you see� I was about to enter my own room when I was stopped by
a��
�Don�t give me one of your stories Kakashi.� She
growled cutting him off. �Just get to the point.�
He rubbed the back of his neck in embarrassment and nervousness and prepared
to spring away should the familiar kunoichi decide to
become violently volatile as he was sure she would be apt to do when he
explained why he was there.
�Ah yes well� Fact is�� He sighed deeply and shook himself,
he was her superior for crying out loud, he should be able to explain why he
was there without feeling quite so awkward. Ok so she had inhuman strength but
he was the great Kakashi Hatake,
Copy Nin extraordinaire for nothing and damned if
he�d be intimidated by a pink haired teen even if she was Sakura Haruno. �Genma has a guest. And I
cannot very well enter the room without blowing our cover, even to berate Genma for it.�
�You�re fucking kidding me?� She gasped more awake now, although still half
asleep.
�Language Sakura and no I fucking kid you not. I need somewhere to sleep, Pakkun and the others are still on patrol as of course are
your slugs, Genma despite
his distraction is completely competent of his job. Trust me on this, I know.�
He added seeing her give him a disparaging glance. �I just need a few hours sleep, I�ll just borrow your bed roll and crash on the
floor. You won�t even know I�m here I swear.�
�There�s a pair of your old jogging bottoms here.� She said digging to the
bottom of her pack and pulling out the navy blue bottoms and tossing them at
him. �Should be more comfortable for you to sleep in than
your uniform.� She mumbled sleepily.
He reached out one hand and caught them mid air. He then gave her a raised
eyebrow as he cocked his head to the side in a rather funny imitation of Pakkun. �Why do you have a pair of my trousers and why did
you bring them with you on this mission?� He asked sounding stern, his
expression under his black lycra
mask however was one of great amusement and he was in a teasing mood, as he
pretty much always was when it came to others degradation.
�You gave them to me that time I feel into the river on the way back from a
mission when I was 14. I always take them with me on missions like this along
with Naruto�s black hoody.
I figured I might need them for when were not on duty, something comfortable to
wear.� She shrugged as she lay back down.
�Uh huh. I�m sure we all believe you Sakura-chan.� He chuckled. �Can I borrow your bed roll then?�
Sakura growled a little and buried her face back in the pillow effectively
ending the conversation and just pulled back the covers from the half of the
bed currently unoccupied by her as on obvious invitation to Kakashi
that he could share the bed with her. She�d been keeping herself folded up in
the blankets quite snugly seeing as it had actually grown quite chilly once the
night hit.
�Thanks Sakura-chan.� Kakashi
said taking off his mask as he stepped down from the window and into the room
properly giving her form an eye crinkling smile even though she wasn�t looking.
�Urgh!� She groaned
grumpily. �Just shut up and get in bed Kakashi.�
�Sakura-chan! I�m shocked
I didn�t expect such behaviour from you��
�Kakashi if you don�t shut up and go to sleep I
swear Genma will wake up in the morning to one dead
Copy Nin and the same fate will befall him for
forcing you on me as well.� She snapped back, refusing to look up knowing that
he would see full well despite the darkness the bright red flush settled on her
cheeks, one that currently rivalled any blush ever seen on the face of one Hinata Hyuuga.
�Ok, ok. I�m sorry. I was just joking I swear.�
�Yeah, yeah just shut up and hurry up before I change my mind.� She grumbled
once more.
Kakashi just chuckled and pulled off his boots and
armour and placed them on the floor by the other side of the bed. He pulled his
black long sleeved top over his head and dropped it on the floor with the rest
of the pile of his clothing and then slid his black skin tight top with
attached mask over his head and threw that on to the haphazard pile as well.
Whilst Sakura was currently occupied with burying her face as far into the
pillow as possible to give both her and him some much needed privacy he slipped
his black lycra bottoms down his legs and pulled the
blue joggers up over his boxers. With that done he slid into bed and turned
away from Sakura�s smaller frame. He willed himself to sleep as the pair heard
a few muffled giggles and squeaks and one noise that sounded decidedly like a
heady moan drifting through the wall every now and again. A few minutes later
he noticed the sheets were being shaken slightly every now and again.
�Sakura are you ok?� He whispered looking over his shoulder a little.
�I�m fine, just cold.� She sighed back. �I�ll grab Naruto�s
old hoody. Didn�t mean to disturb
you.�
�You�re not. I was just worried.� He mumbled back.
Sakura leaned sleepily over the edge of her bed to pull the pack back out
and nearly found herself falling head first onto the hard wood floor. Kakashi had however whipped round when he felt her leaning
over to far and pulled her back onto the bed.
�Thanks.� She muttered flushing in embarrassment once more.
�No problem.� He replied pulling her against his chest as his arms went
around her waist.
�Kakashi! What the hell
are you doing?!� She asked attempting to whip around and plant a stinging slap
on his face for daring to get so close.
�Body heat Sakura.� He told her with a slight roll of his eyes. �Don�t tell
me you�ve forgotten your training already?� His voice was questioning and a tad
amused at her strangled croak as he snuggled his larger frame around her
smaller, slimmer one.
�Of course I haven�t!�
�Good. Now that we�re both warm and understand what�s going on can we please
get some sleep?�
�Hmph.� Came Sakura�s
muffled response as she discontinued her attempts to beat him to death and
instead buried her head in the soft downy pillow once more, having barely
managed to suppress the shudder that had rippled through her body at his touch
and the warm breath sweeping over neck, currently unobstructed by it�s usual
barrier of his mask.
�This feels really nice.� Her inner voice muttered squealing happily
at the feeling of a strong, handsome, older man currently cuddled up to her
back.
�Shut the hell up.� Sakura growled back.
�Admit it. You like the feeling of being wrapped in his arms even if he
is 14 years your senior and your ex-sensei. You like it and you know it, so
don�t try and act all coy with me. I�m you remember, I know exactly what you
are thinking.� She ended the last sentence in a sing song voice.
�Gah!
Fine, I like it ok?! Happy now?! Leave me the hell
alone and go to sleep.�
Inner Sakura just did a little happy dance and giggled before disappearing
once more.
Kakashi meanwhile was trying desperately to
rationalise his behaviour and not even once pay attention to the fact that his
bare, naked chest was currently pressed up against Sakura�s soft, smooth,
slowly heating skin and form fitting night wear. He could not however
completely convince himself that he was doing this purely for her warmth.
�You�re enjoying this far too much and you know it.� A voice said
from somewhere inside his head. He chose to ignore it completely and not even
dignify it with a response.
�You know you didn�t just do this to keep her warm, you wanted to be this
close to her and you just happened to have a perfect excuse. You know it and I
know and I wouldn�t be surprised if she knows it to.� His conscience
taunted him.
He shifted a little in an attempt to dislodge all thoughts from his mind
unfortunately the task was not managed and his conscience still taunted him
mercilessly.
�You�re going to burn for this old man.� It teased.
�I amnotold and I�m already going to
burn after the life I�ve led, this is nothing new. Now shove off and let me
sleep!�
�Sheesh!
Fine, go to sleep but remember this, you have feelings for this girl. Feelings
you shouldn�t do and you�re currently draped all over her in the guise of
keeping her warm. She will see through your lies soon enough and then she�ll
either kill you or never want to be near you again.�
�Tell me something I don�t know asshole.� He scowled to himself as
his conscience seemed to drift back to wherever it had come from.
A while later sleep claimed them both and they drifted once more into a land
without dreams, cares or worries.
xXx
With the first rays old light floating weekly through the heavy curtains,
barely spreading any light through the heavy maroon fabric but there was enough
light to filter through and light up Sakura�s face in a warm glow. She awoke to
another glorious spring day with warmth slowly lighting up along her front and
her back a wonderful temperature thanks to the fact that Kakashi
was still snuggled up against her. She fidgeted a little and attempted to lie
down for a little longer before having to get up. A grunt from Kakashi told her that her wriggle had awoken him, or rather
knowing Kakashi as well as she did that he was
already awake and was just annoyed that he was being forced to get up.
All too soon however her mind shed the last vestiges of sleep and her brain
kicked into high gear as she noticed something she hadn�t before. Something that set her both into panic mode and furious, murderous
bloodlust at the same time.
�Kakashi!� She hissed
with venom as she attempted to extract herself from his arms, ready and
perfectly willing to murder him right now and the way her face was contorted
into an extremely pissed off mask of anger expressed this fact.
�Don�t� struggle� Sakura. That�s not exactly
helping.� He bit out with a hiss as his own face twisted into a grimace. He
managed to keep himself from letting out a small groan at the friction of her
body against his.
�Oh my god!� She gasped in mortified disgust but she
did as he told her and lay still, hardly daring to breath, let alone move in any other way. �You perverted bastard!� She snarled
at him.
Kakashi sighed and kept her in his grasp as he
thought out the best way to deal with their current situation. �Look, it�s not
like I wanted this to happen. I didn�t do it on purpose. You�re nearly 17
Sakura, a kunoichi and a medic surely you know
that, that particular part of male anatomy has a mind of its own sometimes. It
happens to all men in the morning. I can�t help it but I�m really sorry ok?�
�He sounds so dejected and annoyed with himself.� Sakura thought to
herself. �I�m still a virgin Kakashi! Just because I
read about it in a book for training doesn�t mean I know everything about
certain body parts. In fact I tried to read as little as possible about that
particular subject, thank you very much!� She growled back, a small pout
spreading across her pink, soft lips at the fact that she�d just blurted that
out and a pink blush stained her cheeks as she gave out a small gasp in utter
shame.
�Well... Um I�m glad to hear that Sakura but um�� Kakashi
replied as a look of discomposure swept over him.
�Hey! It may have been an over share but don�t you think we�ve already
reached the point of total embarrassment here?!� She kept her face hidden in
the pillow as she drew back her elbow and poked him in the side a little,
groaning as her face heated up to the darkest red possible.
�Ah, well, yeah, I guess things couldn�t get much more complicated if we
tried huh?� He asked releasing one arm from around her waist and reaching up to
scratch his head in his awkwardness as his eye crinkled into its usual grin as
he looked at her lying there shamefaced.
�Not really, no.� She replied sarcastically rolling her eyes as she turned
her head to view his unmasked face finally before moving to get up once more.
�Don�t run away Sakura. We need to talk this through like adults.� He said
fixing her with his lone dark eye whilst keeping his sharingan
closed as his arm moved back to her waist once more.
�We already did Kakashi! I became disgusted and to
be quite honest a little scared, you refused to let me go and explained it
happens to all males. I�m taking your word for it since I�ve never woken up in
quite such close proximity to a man before especially one with that particular
affliction and now I would like to forget all about this incident and take a
shower if you don�t mind.� She retorted with another growl.
�Sakura come on that�s not exactly the grown up thing to do, running away
from problems never solves them.�
�Kakashi, I know that thank you! Just because I�m
inexperienced in that particular area of the adult world doesn�t mean I
don�t know that running away wont help things in the long run so don�t baby me!
But I really don�t see how lying here with you still in that state is going to
help things!�
�I never said you were being childish Sakura I just thought we should talk
more before you ran off.� He closed his eyes in fatigue, his face changing into
a harrowed look as he sighed gently.
�Fine! We�ll talk but I cannot look at you right
now and I don�t think I will be able to for a long time afterwards for that
matter, not without running away afterwards anyway!� Her face was a mask of
horror at the thought of just what they were talking about.
�Ok fair enough.� He replied happy that he could have a chance to talk it
through without being killed, which was something he had definitely feared would happen and hopefully she wouldn�t hate him
forever. �Look like I said I would never have done this on purpose and you
should know that Sakura. You�re important to me, I�d
never allow something like this to happen by choice.�
�I know.� She sighed with slight resentment. �But you�re still a disgusting perv Kakashi! And if you do this
again I swear I will kill you without a single thought!� Her voice came out as
a deep throated snarl.
�I know you will Sakura-chan. I am sorry you
know.�
�I know Kakashi, I know.� She frowned as he
finally released her from his grip and rolled onto his back, his eyes closed
and his face looking more worn and a little older than she�d seen him look in
the last few days. �I�m going for my shower now��
�And I�ll be out of here before you even finish don�t worry.� He sighed
keeping his eyes closed as he heard her gathering up her clothing and heading
for the door to her bathroom.
With a click of the lock he heard her enter the bathroom and move to turn
the water on. He groaned and ran his hands through his silver spikes. �Shit!�
he muttered to himself as he slowly got up from the bed.
He gathered up his clothing and picked the key for the adjoining door up
from the side and unlocked the door silently. With a quick glance he
ascertained that Genma�s �guest� had already left and
he stepped into the room chancing a disgruntled look at the still sleeping shinobi. He could hear the rest of the mansion start to
wake up around him and his scowl deepened as he realised that he was in for a
rude awakening this morning via a frigid shower, for the fact was that although
he hadn�t had any say in the state at which he�d awoken and did wake up every
morning for that matter, Sakura�s squirming however really hadn�t helped
matters, and that along with the slight fascination her tight little body held
for him at the moment had changed his predicament from plain morning wood to a
raging hard on.
�Fuck!� He groaned quietly to himself.
Pulling his pack from beneath his bed he grabbed his clean underwear and
slipped through the bathroom door, shutting it and locking it purely through
habit. He walked over to the shower and turned the water on making sure not to
add any hot to it. He stripped off the bottoms Sakura had given him last night
and his boxers and stepped under the cold water, allowing it to cascade over
his wiry frame. As it fell over every part of his tautly wound muscled body he
felt his erection finally begin to fade away. Once he�d finally rid himself of
his arousal he turned the taps to allow some hot water into his shower, to warm
him and help relax him. His jaw unclenched, his back loosened and released just
that little bit back to his usual slouch instead of the straight backed,
uptight posture he�d previously been in due to the whole scene in the bedroom
and his muscles unwound from their almost painfully tight positions. He gave the
smallest of happy sighs as he finally felt human again.
He washed his body hurriedly, stepping out of the now steamy shower cubicle
and grasped a towel from the railing he wiped himself dry with it, slipping on
his uniform once more he pulled the towel up onto his head and proceeded to
rustle his unruly locks dry. With that done he stepped back into the bedroom
and moved over to Genma�s bed where the senbon sucker lay blissfully happy with a serene smile on
his dreaming face.
�Get. Up.� Kakashi ground out punching him on the
arm as his face became clouded with irritation once more, his jaw clenching,
eyes darkening and taking on a steely glint as he glared harshly at the slowly
wakening shinobi.
�Wha? Oh Kakashi. Um hey where�d you get to last night?�
�Next door.� Kakashi ground out, his scowl drooping down further.
�Oh really�.?� Genma�s face was a wash with
mischief until he finally settled his eyes on the Copy Nin�s.
The fire burning within them was enough to make him gulp and try to back away
slightly unsure of what the silver haired man would do to him but judging by
the thunderous look written on his face it was something very, very bad.
�What the fuck were you doing last night? You brought someone back to your
bed?! We�re on a fucking mission Genma!� Kakashi�s voice rose a little as
he snarled in the brunettes face.
�Oh yeah about that.� Genma
said backing himself against the wall and looking at Kakashi
sheepishly. �Look your gonna kill me for the reason I
brought her back here and your gonna kill me for
bringing her back here so I guess I might as well get it over with. But before
I start could you please sit down and try not to look so� well murderous.�
Kakashi fixed him with a hard stare but allowed
his face to relax a little. �You better have a damn good reason for this Shiranui.� �or I�ll personally
break your neck.� He added in his head. He didn�t actually need to voice that
part, Genma knew that it was
implied.
Genma�s face relaxed into a slightly less
apprehensive gaze and his mouth twitched just a little at the corners as his
eyes filled with mischief once more and he turned to Kakashi.
�Well as I�m sure your aware our favourite pink haired teen out there is
quite the little hotty�.�
�Genma what the fuck does your perverted opinion
on Sakura have to do with the fact that your brought a woman back whilst on a
fucking A-rank mission?� Kakashi�s eyes still held
that hard dangerous air and his lips slid down into an even deeper frown than
before.
�Kakashi give me a chance to explain.�
�Go ahead, I can�t wait to hear where you�re going
with this.� His voice laced with venom and heat as his death glare continued to
be directed at the older male.
�Look, every time I look at Sakura I cant help but think about how damn cute
she is, that taut dainty little body, that looks so small and yet holds such
immense power, the skin tight black uniform that her body looks like it�s
literally been poured into, those legs draped over with those heeled boots�.�
�What the hell does this have to do with anything?� Kakashi
growled, his face darkening even more as his eyes narrowed dangerously at Genma, he couldn�t hear anymore of that talk, it reminded
him of the things that had happened mere moments ago.
�I�m getting there!� Genma replied as his face
took on a slightly panic stricken look. �I can�t help it ok?! She drives me
crazy! I needed a release! I know you understand that Hatake,
I�ve seen the way you look at her.�
Kakashi�s face changed from deadly and cold to
astonished, as his mouth gaped wide underneath his black mask and his one black
eye widened visably, he quickly corrected himself
however and arranged his face into a blank expression and he hoped to kami that Genma hadn�t noticed
the look that had briefly rested on his face. Once again he narrowed his eyes
and fixed them upon Genma�s slightly hesitant face.
�I don�t know what the hell you think you�re referring to Shiranui but I am telling you that if you continue
referring to it I will kill you.� His voice was edged with a hint of a threat.
�Don�t give me that Hatake! The look that passed
between you two when she pulled your mask down in the forest, that was
something I didn�t imagine! I�m sorry but we don�t all have a will of iron,
like Kakashi the Monk you know!� Genma
growled back as he met the steely one eyed gaze before him with his own stare,
his eyes glinted with a half angry, half amused light and he raised one eyebrow
in a condescending look at his close friend.
Kakashi merely sighed deeply and leaned back,
looking tired and if Genma�s guess was right, ashamed
of him self. �Fuck!� He groaned as his fingers slid through his silvery spikes.
�Is it that obvious?�
�Kinda, yeah. But hey I
don�t think she minds too much, I mean she still draws close to you and she let
you stay in her room last night right? I mean it�s not like anything happened.
You are allowed to look you know, no one can stop you from doing that� Well
except Sakura of course.� Genma replied as his face
split into a wide grin and his eyes twinkled with mischief as usual.
Kakashi groaned again and lowered his face to look
at his long time friend once more. �Don�t! She already nearly killed me for
turning up last night and being my usual self I wound her up a bit and only
succeeded in making it worse, and she�s about ready to kill you to for inflicting
me on her so I�d watch what you do around her today.� Kakashi
added with a smirk of his own that set his onyx eye crinkling into a devilish
look.
�Great so now you both want to kill me. Is there any chance I�ll make it to
the end of the day alive?� He asked heavily as his lips turned down into a
frown.
�Not likely.� Kakashi shrugged still grinning.
�Ergh!� Genma groaned and rolled onto his side once more determined
to catch a little more sleep before he had to get up and take over Sakura�s
lunch shift later. �Are you gonna tell Pinky in there?� Genma voiced
from his pillow as he jerked his thumb to the door behind him.
�Yep. Might stop her from killing you if she knows
you�re trying so hard not to molest her or stare at her ass anymore.� Kakashi said standing up as his eye crinkled deeper than
before.
�Or she might just kill me anyway.� The senbon
user said knowing the kunoichi�s firey
temper all to well, he�d been on the receiving end of it more times than he
cared to count.
�Well that to, but at least this way you stand a fighting chance.� He
chuckled back.
Genma raised his head from his pillow slightly and
just gave him a withering glance as the silver haired Anbu
picked up his ninjatō turned to the connecting
door once more and knocked on it.
�You decent in there Sakura?� He asked quietly.
�Yes Senpai. Come in.� She huffed back.
Kakashi walked through and shut the door behind
him. �You ready for another day of watching nothing but tree leaves?� He asked
with mock sincerity.
�Don�t remind me.� She groaned in annoyance as she pouted at him, before a
curious look slid onto her face. �So did you kill him yet?�
With a snort he looked back at her and answered. �No.�
�What? Why the hell not?� She asked folding her
arms cross her chest, the pout turning into a frown as her lips tilted
downwards.
�He� Well he had a good reason.� Kakashi shrugged
his shoulders, his face remaining impassive as it almost always was.
�Oh then I can�t wait to here this!� She snapped glaring daggers at him as
her lips thinned and set into an almost perfect straight line.
�Kami she�s gonna
explode soon.� He thought to himself.
�Listen we�ll discuss it on patrol, but right now you need to eat so we can
keep watch and hopefully Genma can make some more
enquiries later to.�
�Enquiries my ass...� She muttered under her breath causing Kakashi to chuckle and give her his usual eye crinkle to
indicate he was amused. �Wait, you�re coming with me?� She asked louder, her
lips now turning into a slight smile as her eyes lit up at the thought of him
staying with her. The past incidents suddenly wiped from her mind at the
thought of not being alone on her watch today, even though it had only been one
day she was already feeling slightly lonely being on a mission with two team
mates whom while she wouldn�t admit it to their faces that she adored, when
they weren�t being perverted anyway.
�Yes. Is that a problem?� He asked knowing full well it wasn�t as he�d seen
her smile and he knew she�d been happy to hear that.
�No, of course not.� She replied picking up her
water bottle.
�Shall we go then?� He asked her whilst his hands rested by his side as he
was currently denied the normal habit of keeping them inside of his pockets.
She moved toward the window and immediately leapt into the nearest tree
after taking care to notice that she wouldn�t be seen. Kakashi
followed her and landed next to her.
�I�ll be right back.� He told her with a nod. �Just gonna
grab some breakfast.�
She rolled her eyes knowing exactly what he meant,
he was going to the orchard for some fruit for their breakfast. She sank down
onto the bark of the branch leaned against the trunk waiting for Kakashi to return. Two minutes later the man in question
returned with an apple and an orange for each of them, he handed hers to her
and then jumped up to the branch above her head. They ate in silence, Kakashi grateful that she seemed to be ok with him right
now and hadn�t killed him just yet, Sakura herself grateful for the company and
his familiar presence and trying desperately not to let the memories of her
rude wake up call this morning affect her mood since the day was dawning a
clear bright blue, sunlight streaming down on the riotous colours of the
Daimyo�s gardens and house and small white, wispy clouds floating across the
sky. She closed her eyes and ate her breakfast with the heat of the emerging
day warming her and almost making her forget she was on a mission, of course
nothing would make her forget that fact, she was a ninja and a damn good one
and she was determined that her first Anbu mission
would be a resounding success.
With the fruit consumed she took a sip from her bottle and offered it up to Kakashi. He lazily leaned down and took it from her grasp.
He opened it and took a swig of the clear fluid. When he looked back down to
give it back to Sakura he noticed her staring at him once more. Although her
mask was back in place due to being on a mission he could feel her piercing
jade gaze aimed directly at him and it would have burnt a hole through him if
it was possible for her to do so.
�What?�
�I want to know what his reason for last night was. You said he had a good
reason, I think I�m entitled to know what it is.� She told him in her sternest
voice.
�You�re a tough opponent Panther.� He said with a sigh but his unmasked face
crinkled as he looked down at her.
�Yeah you told me that already get on with the explanation will you?� She
giggled back.
�Fine, but don�t go killing me when I tell you. Don�t shoot the messenger
and all that.�
�Senpai.� She growled
warningly as her gaze frosted over.
He could feel the coldness radiating off her and consented to tell her
before he really did die by her hand. �Look, he did what he did because as all
three of us know he can�t stop staring at you. He knew that if he tried
anything with you, you�d kill him, I�d kill him and Tsunade
would kill him. He didn�t think it would be appropriate anyway and you made it
perfectly clear you weren�t interested. He�s a horny guy,
at least he didn�t try to get you into bed you have to give the guy some credit
for that.�
�Unlike some other people I could mention.� She muttered quietly. Of course Kakashi being Kakashi heard it
perfectly.
�So we�re back to that again huh? I�ve apologised a million times, do you
want me to apologise again? I thought we�d got through this�� He sighed again
as both his eyes drooped sadly.
�I know Senpai. I�m just finding this a little
hard to deal with right now. I mean the first time I wake up to a guy in that
state and it�s you and then you tell me it has nothing to do with me. That kinda makes a girl feel inadequate even if it is a natural
occurrence and well you�re you, it�s embarrassing as hell.� She sighed along
with him, her face hidden by her mask, a mixture of complete humiliation at
having this conversation and remembering that mornings events once more, this
particular emotion was evidenced by the bright red blush on her face and the
upset she�d suffered at being told it was nothing to do with her that he was in
that state was also written on her face as her eyes teared
up slightly.
�Hey if it�s any consolation I said you were pretty the other day. It�s not
like I wanted to wake up like that, I just��
�Yeah I know. Thanks Senpai, I�d just really
rather forget about it now� All of it, you, me, the other
pervert. I just want to get back to normal. Can we just forget it ever
happened?� She asked sounding weary.
�Sure.� He replied pulling out his familiar orange book and began to read.
�I�m going to watch them train the dogs for a bit. I�ll be back soon.� She
said standing up and putting her ninjatō back
into its rightful place on her back.
�Ok.� He replied glancing up from his book for a split second before
returning his gaze to the pages of his beloved book, his own ninjatō lay across his lap, in the perfect position
for him to grab it and use it should he so need to.
Sakura leapt through the trees and made her way to the training field from
yesterday. It appeared today they were training the long haired, black and tan
German Shepherd. She settled down in the tree from
yesterday to watch as the large dog was put through his paces by the same pair
she�d seen with the Tosa�s yesterday.
She lent against the tree and with her head in her hands she groaned
quietly. �How the hell did I end up in bed this morning with Kakashi-senpai and his morning wood?�
�Oh like you�re complaining.� Inner Sakura crowed with laughter.
�I am complaining! I didn�t want that to happen!� She yelped back her
eyes widening in fear.
�Cha! Just be glad he finds you or should
I say us attractive enough to get in that state.� Inner Sakura punched the
air happily.
Sakura�s face clouded over, her eyes glistening darkly as she replied. �For fucks sake! He said it was nothing to do with
that! Sheesh don�t you ever listen?!� she
snapped.
�Fine be like that but! When you want to admit
the truth come find me.�
�Well thank god I wont be hearing from you in a long time then, because I
admitted the truth already but if this means you�ll be going away then I don�t
care.� A triumphant smirk broke out on her face as her inner voice walked
away with a petulant pout for once.
Sakura remained in her place and she was determined to forget about the
whole matter for now, she had a job to do and damn if she wasn�t going to do it
to the best of her abilities. With that thought in mind she pushed the whole
humiliating matter to the very back of her mind and concentrated on her
surroundings as she watched the two guards walked the dog back to his kennel.
She stirred herself and moved back to go back to the tree Kakashi
was waiting at with a deep feeling of annoyance and something else she couldn�t
quite place right now, and she didn�t want to know what it was quite frankly.
