A/N: Okay, This is just me giving thanks to all who reviewed:
Mrs. Cake - Kakashi will certainly try. *winks*. Yes, I know that Kakashi's sharigan isn't a bloodline limit but I figured it didn't matter if it was transplanted with the curse. *laughs* No need to apologize.
Sihaya Atreides - Thank you. My kinky brain begged me to write it.
zeroharm - I feel bad about making Gai my comic relief, he at least gets some play though. Hm.. I don't know if I was able to give you a funny mental picture this time. I hope I did.
Dynamo - Thanks so much. Sorry it took me about a year to update. I'm already working on the other chapters.. it should take a couple of weeks for me to post now.
zell-chan - Yeah, I actually saw a really *hot* picture of Gai on Deviant Art the other day so don't feel too bad for Anko!
vic - but.. he was transformed as someone else... so it's not so bad.. is it?
gouka chibi fujo - Oh.. yes, I felt guilty so I actually gave her a good pairing I think.. it's with Sasuke.. I just haven't posted it yet. I will. It's in a different story though.
sc - Tsunade impersonating Kakashi? Hm... I don't know if I can buy her being that perverted... hehehe... but of course, look at all the things I have her doing here?
Nottoca - Thank you so much! Yes, I purposely picked a crazy pairing, but after I wrote the first chapter, I didn't think it was so far-fetched.
slavecount/superwhore - I sent you an email.. yes over a year later. Thanks for the review.

Summary: Tsunade wants some special attention. She cons Kakashi into supplying it.
Tsunade's Secret Lesson by Yojami
Chapter 13 – Fighting Dreamers
She purred to herself when she saw him standing at the foot of the bed. He looked a little timid, but still sexy as always. Kakashi stared at her with longing and a hint of uncertainty, as if he was intimidated by her confidence and authority. Very few people could elicit that reaction from him and it was unnerving. After what seemed like an eternity, he made the decision to approach the well-endowed kunoichi on the bed.
A voice calling her name from afar was threatening to interrupt their activities. She ignored it but the voice was getting louder and more persistent. She thought she heard someone enter the room, but she was so engrossed with Kakashi that she didn't care anymore. In her usual forceful manner, she grabbed his hand. She unconsciously started to rub her legs together as she imagined all the possible things they would end up doing. Afraid of getting caught, Kakashi tried to pry himself from her grip, but she was unusually strong for a kunoichi.
"Um, Anko, what are you doing with my hand?" he interrogated. "You are going to be late for your mission briefing. Tsunade-sama sent me to get you."
"Hmm... tell her to wait. I want you now!" She growled this time and placed his hand on her breast.
"I know it's hard, but you have to resist me. They don't call me Konoha's Handsome Green Beast for nothing," he boasted.
"Oh yes, you are a sexy beast, aren’t you?" she moaned in her sleep. This dream was getting so realistic; she fought the urge to open her eyes to awake from this wonderful experience. Still, there was something nagging at her, telling her that there is something just a bit different. 'Wait a minute. That's not Kakashi's voice,' she thought in alarm. "Green Beast!" she yelled out loud when her foggy mind started to clear.
The combination of shock, horniness, and shame all exposed Anko to reality in slow motion. In one look, she noticed her left hand was pressing Gai’s hand to cup her ample breasts while her right hand was slowly massaging the inside of his pants. She screamed at the ninja on top of her and kicked him to the floor. Running to her bathroom, she jumped into the shower to erase all evidence of his touch on her body. 'Where's my soap?' she thought with disgust. ‘I better take three showers, just in case.’
Visibly uncomfortable, Gai tried to make some small talk while he waited, "Well Anko, it's been rather cold. You really should think about sleeping with clothes on. You might get sick."
A sickened groan from Anko was all he could hear. Gai paused for a second and then said in a plaintive voice, “Oh, um, you better hurry. I don’t think you have time for a long shower. Tsunade-sama asked me to tell you that she needs you in her office right away.”
"OH, SHUT IT, GAI!" she snapped as she continued to wash herself vigorously.
---------------------------------------------------------
On the other side of town, Kakashi slowly stood up and walked towards the Hokage. Preventing her escape, he placed each of his hands on either side of her body. She stared at him, as if challenging him to continue. He lowered his mouth to hers in a forceful kiss. Surprised by his boldness, she initially held back and stayed still. Slowly, he felt her start to give way. Soon she opened her mouth to invite his tongue into her welcoming depths. Judging from her reaction, he knew she wanted this; she wanted this as much as he did. Moaning her name, he slid one of his hands down her body-
"Ahem," Jiraiya cleared his throat. "You're finally awake."
"Yeah," confused and still a little dazed, the copy-ninja managed a simple reply. It didn't seem to bother him that Jiraiya was in his house. He always welcomed a visit from his favorite author, even though it was unannounced.
"So, it's true." Jiraiya proclaimed seriously.
"Yeah, it's true, I do have the Gedo Mark," Kakashi confirmed.
"Not that." The Toad Sage laughed and pointed at Kakashi's hand, which was strategically placed under the covers over his crotch, "It's true that you are a super pervert like me!"
Kakashi managed to look sheepish. 'I hope he didn't hear about what Tsunade and I did in the hospital,' he hoped silently.
Jiraiya continued, "You know, I don't know how you did it, but for some reason, you are wanted by practically all the women here in Konoha. Apparently, there's a picture of you naked being circulated." He chuckled. "I didn't know you posed like that. What? You don't make enough money as a ninja? You have to freelance as a nude model?" He laughed again at his bad joke.
A look of relief washed over Kakashi, apparently his little tryst in the emergency room with the Hokage remained a secret.
The Sannin changed to a more serious tone now, "How are you feeling?"
"I'm feeling good, I've begun training already." The copy-nin smiled at his progress.
"Good, then there's nothing to be concerned about." The Sannin got up to leave. Right at the door, he turned and said with a smirk, "By the way, did you know that you say some very interesting things in your sleep?''
Before Kakashi could get any details, Jiraiya was already gone.
---------------------------------------------------------
"What's taking so long?" Shizune uttered aloud to no one in particular, tapping her foot on the wooden floor. Alone in the Hokage's office, she felt each second tick away excruciating slowly. She dreaded but wished the mission briefing would begin already. Everyone was on-edge these days in Konoha with the constant threat of Orochimaru lurking around each corner; Shizune welcomed any sort of distraction from her worries of that treacherous snake. With the sound of oncoming footsteps in the circular hallway, she turned her head towards the doors of the office.
Anko raced to the Hokage's office in a crazed frenzy. She was in danger of being late. "Hey, what are you doing here?” She pried, surprised to see the attractive kunoichi approaching the Hokage’s office.
Kurenai answered, “I’ve been summoned for a mission. You?”
The tomboyish kunoichi nodded her head in affirmation as they both walked inside the office. Shizune was already seated in the office waiting impatiently.
“Oh-oh…” Anko uttered when she quickly assessed who was in the room. Kurenai raised her eyebrow in question. “The Hokage is going to have us do some kinky, perverted mission. Look at this. It’s all the available kunoichi.” Anko surmised.
An incredulous smile crossed Kurenai’s face. “Anko, you know the Hokage wouldn’t do that. Tsunade-sama has way too much going on right now. She doesn’t have time to be playing some perverted games with us. This is an A-class mission.” She scolded Anko for thinking such inappropriate thoughts.
“That’s where you're wrong, Kurenai. Shizune and I know her better than you and –“
Anko’s rant was cut off by Shizune’s stern look as the medic-nin hissed at them, “Quiet Anko, Tsunade-sama’s coming!”
The wide doors swung open dramatically as Tsunade strode forward inside. “Ahhhh, you are all here. Sorry to keep you all waiting.” The Hokage gave a very welcoming smile to the three kunoichi as she walked inside and sat behind her desk. She signaled to Anko to shut the doors. She pursed her lips and tilted her head to the side, mulling her next words. When she was confident that the doors were sealed shut, she began, “For this mission, I need all of you to play important roles..."
---------------------------------------------------------
Hours later, the Hokage rested her head back on her chair. "He wants me." Tsunade stated somberly as she thought of her own traitorous teammate. Her voice was heard plainly through the deserted office. It's funny how an innocent turn of events could have such a profound effect on everyone. She reminisced about him as a little boy, distraught over the loss of his parents. It was shocking how he could turn into the monster he is now, overcome by his obsession with immortality. Rubbing her temples, she let her head down in thought.
A lecherous laugh echoed from the window, "Oh old hag, just because you have huge breasts now, you shouldn't be more conceited than you were back then." Jiraiya jumped in and joined the Hokage, bracing himself for the object that he expected to be thrown at him.
Tilting her head, she said nothing as she stared off into space and ignored the Toad Sage. He opened his eyes and was delightfully surprised to find that she had no interest in hitting today. For once, Jiraiya was free to insult her without retaliation. Not wanting to push his luck, he respected her silence and studied her desk. It was overflowing with curse scrolls and medical books. The Hokage's beautiful face looked worn out and weary. It was obvious that she was hard at work finding a cure.
Finally Jiraiya spoke, "I wonder, do you want him too? I've never seen you work so hard."
"Idiot! I'm the best medic-nin here. I'm supposed to work hard for all my villagers. Besides, I'm talking about Orochimaru." Visibly annoyed, she addressed him now with a gravity that demanded attention.
Folding his arms, the Toad Sage replied, "Ah, I know, but Kakashi's a much more entertaining subject. But yes, about our old classmate, it makes sense; he still wants you to heal his arms."
She smiled at his quick understanding. "So, where is he? I know you've been gathering information on his whereabouts."
Conveniently, he handed her a map, with coordinates showing the traitor's location. "I knew this would come. You're not going after him are you?" he asked another question that he knew the answer to already.
Eyes steeled with determination met his. "Of course, if I don't, he'll just continue to terrorize the rest of the ninja of this village until we give in to his demands. I've got to make him know that I'm serious. I've got to end it," Tsunade replied.
"But, you're the Hokage, you're needed here. The village needs you here." He pleaded with her to change her mind. 'I need you here.'
Laughing, "You're staying here, Jiraiya. This is my fight. You don't want me to poison you again, do you?" She threatened, narrowing her eyes. "Don't worry, if I die, you can be Hokage." She rose up from her chair and strolled confidently out of the room. "Besides, us old ninja aren't supposed to live forever, we're supposed to protect the next generation. I'm sure you'll get your chance one day." She added rather ominously.
His face creased with worry as he watched her form walk away, 'Don't you dare die, Tsunade-hime.'
---------------------------------------------------------
The other patrons in the restaurant were watching the kunoichi with lots of interest. It was hard to ignore them; not only were they attractive, they were in an animated and heated conversation.
Kurenai stared at Anko incredulously. "What?" Anko asked her, the pony-tailed kunoichi was getting annoyed. "You've been staring at me all day with that hurt face. You keep giving me that look."
The genjutsu expert threw her hands up in the air in disgust. "I can't believe you, Anko! I thought you would back me up when I tried to get out of the mission." Kurenai rattled on.
"It's a great mission! In fact, it's probably borderline S-Class. How could I not? Besides, I'm not worried, with all three of us on it, we should be successful." She opened her mouth and popped another dango inside seductively.
Kurenai's eyes rolled up in her head, "That's not the problem. Heck, I'm sure I can do this one by myself." Anko's left eyebrow shot up at her friend's confident admission. "But... it's just wrong!" Kurenai exclaimed.
Anko's threw her head back and laughed out loud. "Hey, it's not like we haven't been on missions like this before! It's one of our duties as kunoichi. We've all had this kind of training when we reached 18. Even prudish Shizune had no problems with it. She was excited!"
Kurenai couldn't deny the logic, it was all true. She knew she had lost the argument and decided to change the subject. "Speaking of Shizune, what's going on with you two? You guys are hanging out more than usual." Kurenai wondered.
"Jealous?" The tom-boyish woman winked playfully.
The long-haired kunoichi smiled. "Of course, but I wouldn't mind adding her to our group." She laughed and winked back.
"Well, ever since you and that other ninja have been dating-and don't deny it, I'm not stupid, I've had to find someone else to hang with," she explained.
"Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to ignore you." Kurenai nodded apologetically. She then lowered herself in the chair and whispered, "Are we that obvious? We are trying to keep it secret."
Anko whispered in return, "I'm not gonna lie. It's pretty obvious to me. So it's gotta be pretty obvious to the other ninja as well."
"Okay, we'll have to be a little more discreet then," she concluded. As an afterthought, she seemed to remember something that happened earlier at the mission briefing. "By the way, you and the Hokage talked some more after Shizune and I left the meeting. What was that about?" Kurenai asked curiously.
Anko screamed in her head, keeping her thoughts private. 'Damn my libido! Damn my sleepwalking! If I hadn't had that vivid dream... What gave him the right to come into my room this morning?! Couldn't he just have knocked? I can't believe I made out with him! AGAIN!'
Kurenai watched Anko's face with amusement as her animated friend displayed emotions ranging from anger to embarrassment to rage to embarrassment again.
Anko was a little ashamed to mention it and tried to downplay it. "Oh, it's nothing really. I just asked her a favor." Anko bit her lip and looked around guiltily, "I asked her not to order Gai to come to my house and summon me to her office ever again," she admitted.
"Huh?" The bewildered look on Kurenai's face was priceless.
--------------------------------------------------------
The assistant's neck was aching from all the reading, but she was not sleepy. Dodging dangerous flying scrolls that Tsunade-sama kept discarding at her was keeping her quite alert. She stared after an errant scroll flying through the window. She hoped the ninja below were observant. "You know one of these days, I won't be able to evade them, and I'll end up hurt," she warned her boss.
"Then I didn't train you well enough," the Hokage quipped, not even looking up. She continued to read the same scroll in her hand over again.
Shizune noticed this, "Did you find something interesting?"
The blonde looked at her and scratched her head in thought. "I think I have it. It's vague, just like all these stupid scrolls are and it does not mention the Gedo mark specifically, but this might be it." After clearing her throat, she read from the text, "Curse marks are especially difficult to cure, for they not only affect the physical state, but the mental and emotional state of the victim. In all known cases, curse marks are affected positively and negatively by violent events. Violent acts may either trigger advance stages of the mark or in some instances, rid them of it. For example, killing a loved one has the surprising effect of shocking the victim's psyche and releasing the curse. Because the cure generally is too costly, most victims suffer throughout their lives."
Visibly uncomfortable, Shizune replied, "Oh well, that was a complete and huge waste of time, let's go look some more." The assistant dismissed the information and stood up to reach for a different scroll as Tsunade looked up at the ceiling, thinking quietly.
---------------------------------------------------------
Outside, Gai nimbly dodged a flying projectile hurtling towards him at an insane speed. "What the-" he looked at the huge crater caused by the object. In his overly loud baritone, he exclaimed, "The sky is falling! The sky is falling!" He looked up and posed in a comical fighting stance, ready to evade the next projectile.
"Gai, what are you doing?" Kakashi interrogated him calmly with his hands in his pockets. The masked ninja looked at the center of the crater. Studying closely, he noticed that there was a discarded scroll. "Are you attacking this defenseless scroll?"
A little embarrassed, Gai explained, "Well, as you can see, these scrolls are attacking the village-"
Visibly amused, Kakashi smiled and tuned him out and walk away. He knew better than to engage the highly excitable ninja in a conversation but he couldn't help how great he felt. He had been out of the hospital for a few days already and he had resumed his regular training regiment.
The only thing that was not back to normal was his relationship with Tsunade. He had not seen her alone since that wonderfully hot episode in the hospital and he was beginning to miss her in more ways than one. In fact, the normally composed Kakashi was beginning to turn into a horn-dog. Albeit, it was kinky due to the act being in a hospital room, the consummation of their relation did not leave him satisfied. Ironically, it had the opposite effect. He had to have her again.
It was impossible these days to get her alone. She was working almost non-stop on finding a cure for his mark. He was touched by her dedication, but he knew from before that this did not mean anything special about him. He had seen the same kind of devotion from her when she was researching Rock Lee's operation and he admired her for it. He smiled, he didn't just admire her for it; he loved her for it.
Because he knew she was working hard, he didn't want to divert her. He respected her commitment and granted her some space. The only problem was that it gave him the unfortunate side-effect of being horny all the time. The slightest image, sound, smell, touch, and even taste could arouse him. In fact, it was getting increasingly worse; he had to stop reading his beloved 'Icha Icha' books. He trained constantly and tried not to be with anything or anyone that would remind him of his beloved Tsunade-hime. Today, he traveled on to the training site with his hands in his pockets and his gaze focused on the ground.
---------------------------------------------------------
A few days later, Shizune ran excitedly into Tsunade's office holding the daily newspaper. "You’re not going to believe this! You won! YOU WON!" she exclaimed giddily.
Tsunade stared at Shizune and stared at the winning numbers. Sure enough, they were her favorite numbers that she played every week. She placed her elbows on the desk and looked at them quietly.
Her assistant could hardly contain her excitement. "Is that all? It looks like you could pay off all your debts with this huge win!"
The Hokage showed no reaction but proceeded to look for the information that Jiraiya had handed to her last week.
"Well?" Shizune asked expectantly.
After a long pause, the next words out of the blonde's mouth shocked the assistant. "Shizune, call your other team members; it's time to execute your mission." Tsunade-sama ordered.
Immediately, Shizune's face fell into seriousness; the lottery winnings were a dismissed topic. "Are you sure, Tsunade-sama?" she questioned with concern and anxiety.
With determined eyes, Tsunade nodded to Shizune. The assistant bowed her head respectfully and left. Shizune immediately headed towards Kurenai's place with apprehension, 'It's a bad omen. Every time Tsunade wins big, she usually loses something else.'
Silently, the Hokage got up and walked out to enter the storage room. Then she gathered the standard jounin weapons and headed for her Hokage palace to retrieve her own personal supplies. She gazed at the Hokage monument, quietly seeking support, 'Please Hokages, guide me in this mission. I'm going to need it.'

Rubbing her temples, she let her head down in thought.
A lecherous laugh echoed from the window, "Oh old hag, just because you have huge breasts now, you shouldn't be more conceited than you were back then." Jiraiya jumped in and joined the Hokage, bracing himself for the object that he expected to be thrown at him.
Tilting her head, she said nothing as she stared off into space and ignored the Toad Sage. He opened his eyes and was delightfully surprised to find that she had no interest in hitting today. For once, Jiraiya was free to insult her without retaliation. Not wanting to push his luck, he respected her silence and studied her desk. It was overflowing with curse scrolls and medical books. The Hokage's beautiful face looked worn out and weary. It was obvious that she was hard at work finding a cure.
Finally Jiraiya spoke, "I wonder, do you want him too? I've never seen you work so hard."
"Idiot! I'm the best medic-nin here. I'm supposed to work hard for all my villagers. Besides, I'm talking about Orochimaru." Visibly annoyed, she addressed him now with a gravity that demanded attention.
Folding his arms, the Toad Sage replied, "Ah, I know, but Kakashi's a much more entertaining subject. But yes, about our old classmate, it makes sense; he still wants you to heal his arms."
She smiled at his quick understanding. "So, where is he? I know you've been gathering information on his whereabouts."
Conveniently, he handed her a map, with coordinates showing the traitor's location. "I knew this would come. You're not going after him are you?" he asked another question that he knew the answer to already.
Eyes steeled with determination met his. "Of course, if I don't, he'll just continue to terrorize the rest of the ninja of this village until we give in to his demands. I've got to make him know that I'm serious. I've got to end it," Tsunade replied.
"But, you're the Hokage, you're needed here. The village needs you here." He pleaded with her to change her mind. 'I need you here.'
Laughing, "You're staying here, Jiraiya. This is my fight. You don't want me to poison you again, do you?" She threatened, narrowing her eyes. "Don't worry, if I die, you can be Hokage." She rose up from her chair and strolled confidently out of the room. "Besides, us old ninja aren't supposed to live forever, we're supposed to protect the next generation. I'm sure you'll get your chance one day." She added rather ominously.
His face creased with worry as he watched her form walk away, 'Don't you dare die, Tsunade-hime.'

The other patrons in the restaurant were watching the kunoichi with lots of interest. It was hard to ignore them; not only were they attractive, they were in an animated and heated conversation.
Kurenai stared at Anko incredulously. "What?" Anko asked her, the pony-tailed kunoichi was getting annoyed. "You've been staring at me all day with that hurt face. You keep giving me that look."
The genjutsu expert threw her hands up in the air in disgust. "I can't believe you, Anko! I thought you would back me up when I tried to get out of the mission." Kurenai rattled on.
"It's a great mission! In fact, it's probably borderline S-Class. How could I not? Besides, I'm not worried, with all three of us on it, we should be successful." She opened her mouth and popped another dango inside seductively.
Kurenai's eyes rolled up in her head, "That's not the problem. Heck, I'm sure I can do this one by myself." Anko's left eyebrow shot up at her friend's confident admission. "But... it's just wrong!" Kurenai exclaimed.
Anko's threw her head back and laughed out loud. "Hey, it's not like we haven't been on missions like this before! It's one of our duties as kunoichi. We've all had this kind of training when we reached 18. Even prudish Shizune had no problems with it. She was excited!"
Kurenai couldn't deny the logic, it was all true. She knew she had lost the argument and decided to change the subject. "Speaking of Shizune, what's going on with you two? You guys are hanging out more than usual." Kurenai wondered.
"Jealous?" The tom-boyish woman winked playfully.
The long-haired kunoichi smiled. "Of course, but I wouldn't mind adding her to our group." She laughed and winked back.
"Well, ever since you and that other ninja have been dating-and don't deny it, I'm not stupid, I've had to find someone else to hang with," she explained.
"Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to ignore you." Kurenai nodded apologetically. She then lowered herself in the chair and whispered, "Are we that obvious? We are trying to keep it secret."
Anko whispered in return, "I'm not gonna lie. It's pretty obvious to me. So it's gotta be pretty obvious to the other ninja as well."
"Okay, we'll have to be a little more discreet then," she concluded. As an afterthought, she seemed to remember something that happened earlier at the mission briefing. "By the way, you and the Hokage talked some more after Shizune and I left the meeting. What was that about?" Kurenai asked curiously.
Anko screamed in her head, keeping her thoughts private. 'Damn my libido! Damn my sleepwalking! If I hadn't had that vivid dream... What gave him the right to come into my room this morning?! Couldn't he just have knocked? I can't believe I made out with him! AGAIN!'
Kurenai watched Anko's face with amusement as her animated friend displayed emotions ranging from anger to embarrassment to rage to embarrassment again.
Anko was a little ashamed to mention it and tried to downplay it. "Oh, it's nothing really. I just asked her a favor." Anko bit her lip and looked around guiltily, "I asked her not to order Gai to come to my house and summon me to her office ever again," she admitted.
"Huh?" The bewildered look on Kurenai's face was priceless.

The assistant's neck was aching from all the reading, but she was not sleepy. Dodging dangerous flying scrolls that Tsunade-sama kept discarding at her was keeping her quite alert. She stared after an errant scroll flying through the window. She hoped the ninja below were observant. "You know one of these days, I won't be able to evade them, and I'll end up hurt," she warned her boss.
"Then I didn't train you well enough," the Hokage quipped, not even looking up. She continued to read the same scroll in her hand over again.
Shizune noticed this, "Did you find something interesting?"
The blonde looked at her and scratched her head in thought. "I think I have it. It's vague, just like all these stupid scrolls are and it does not mention the Gedo mark specifically, but this might be it." After clearing her throat, she read from the text, "Curse marks are especially difficult to cure, for they not only affect the physical state, but the mental and emotional state of the victim. In all known cases, curse marks are affected positively and negatively by violent events. Violent acts may either trigger advance stages of the mark or in some instances, rid them of it. For example, killing a loved one has the surprising effect of shocking the victim's psyche and releasing the curse. Because the cure generally is too costly, most victims suffer throughout their lives."
Visibly uncomfortable, Shizune replied, "Oh well, that was a complete and huge waste of time, let's go look some more." The assistant dismissed the information and stood up to reach for a different scroll as Tsunade looked up at the ceiling, thinking quietly.
---------------------------------------------------------
Outside, Gai nimbly dodged a flying projectile hurtling towards him at an insane speed. "What the-" he looked at the huge crater caused by the object. In his overly loud baritone, he exclaimed, "The sky is falling! The sky is falling!" He looked up and posed in a comical fighting stance, ready to evade the next projectile.
"Gai, what are you doing?" Kakashi interrogated him calmly with his hands in his pockets. The masked ninja looked at the center of the crater. Studying closely, he noticed that there was a discarded scroll. "Are you attacking this defenseless scroll?"
A little embarrassed, Gai explained, "Well, as you can see, these scrolls are attacking the village-"
Visibly amused, Kakashi smiled and tuned him out and walk away. He knew better than to engage the highly excitable ninja in a conversation but he couldn't help how great he felt. He had been out of the hospital for a few days already and he had resumed his regular training regiment.
The only thing that was not back to normal was his relationship with Tsunade. He had not seen her alone since that wonderfully hot episode in the hospital and he was beginning to miss her in more ways than one. In fact, the normally composed Kakashi was beginning to turn into a horn-dog. Albeit, it was kinky due to the act being in a hospital room, the consummation of their relation did not leave him satisfied. Ironically, it had the opposite effect. He had to have her again.
It was impossible these days to get her alone. She was working almost non-stop on finding a cure for his mark. He was touched by her dedication, but he knew from before that this did not mean anything special about him. He had seen the same kind of devotion from her when she was researching Rock Lee's operation and he admired her for it. He smiled, he didn't just admire her for it; he loved her for it.
Because he knew she was working hard, he didn't want to divert her. He respected her commitment and granted her some space. The only problem was that it gave him the unfortunate side-effect of being horny all the time. The slightest image, sound, smell, touch, and even taste could arouse him. In fact, it was getting increasingly worse; he had to stop reading his beloved 'Icha Icha' books. He trained constantly and tried not to be with anything or anyone that would remind him of his beloved Tsunade-hime. Today, he traveled on to the training site with his hands in his pockets and his gaze focused on the ground.
---------------------------------------------------------
A few days later, Shizune ran excitedly into Tsunade's office holding the daily newspaper. "You’re not going to believe this! You won! YOU WON!" she exclaimed giddily.
Tsunade stared at Shizune and stared at the winning numbers. Sure enough, they were her favorite numbers that she played every week. She placed her elbows on the desk and looked at them quietly.
Her assistant could hardly contain her excitement. "Is that all? It looks like you could pay off all your debts with this huge win!"
The Hokage showed no reaction but proceeded to look for the information that Jiraiya had handed to her last week.
"Well?" Shizune asked expectantly.
After a long pause, the next words out of the blonde's mouth shocked the assistant. "Shizune, call your other team members; it's time to execute your mission." Tsunade-sama ordered.
Immediately, Shizune's face fell into seriousness; the lottery winnings were a dismissed topic. "Are you sure, Tsunade-sama?" she questioned with concern and anxiety.
With determined eyes, Tsunade nodded to Shizune. The assistant bowed her head respectfully and left. Shizune immediately headed towards Kurenai's place with apprehension, 'It's a bad omen. Every time Tsunade wins big, she usually loses something else.'
Silently, the Hokage got up and walked out to enter the storage room. Then she gathered the standard jounin weapons and headed for her Hokage palace to retrieve her own personal supplies. She gazed at the Hokage monument, quietly seeking support, 'Please Hokages, guide me in this mission. I'm going to need it.'
