Peaceful Waters

Wow, almost 300 reviewson FF! %} I am so excited that you all like the story. I am amazed at the success of this story considering a big part of it is about such a minor character. Spread the Genma love! I am really enjoying writing this so I am pleased that you seem to enjoy reading! I will try to update as quickly as possible since I have a small bit of free time. Soon that will be all be gone but I will not update as slowly as last time I promise!


Genma and Sakura walked in silence, Sakura quietly fuming as Genma brooded, idly swishing his senbon back and forth.


“Sai,” Genma thought slowly, “There’s something . . . wrong with him. The way his chakra feels is so odd. His chakra is strong and powerful but it’s so controlled. Too controlled. It feels like there’s a dam there, and when Sakura kissed him it felt like it was cracking. I wonder if anyone else notices this.”


Deciding Sakura had fumed enough Genma took a chance at bringing on her anger, “Sakura?”


“WHAT! What” Sorry Genma. I don’t know what’s wrong with them. They always have to be so selfish and weird. It’s getting really annoying. What were you saying?” Sakura asked sweetly gently swinging their shopping bag and leaning into him as they strolled, letting Genma wrap his arm around her shoulders.


“Have you ever noticed anything off about Sai?” he asked, lightly running his fingers on her arm enjoying her soft skin.


“Ha! You’ve got to be kidding right? Sai! Of course. He’s been totally brainwashed afterall,” Sakura snorted glancing up at Genma in slight astonishment. “You should know all about ROOTS shouldn’t you? You’re an assassin, I’m sure you work with ANBU sometimes.”


“Yeah,” Genma replied glancing to the side as he bit down on his senbon a bit harder then he normally would, “Yeah I work with ANBU sometimes, but never with ROOTS. One thing I know for sure about ROOTS is that Danzou controls it. Danzou and I have never gotten along. You might say we had some . . . personal issues in our past. He has never let me near anyone in ROOTS, Sai is the first one I’ve met.”


“You didn’t sleep with . . . ?” Sakura started, truly afraid of the answer.

Genma laughed bitterly suddenly twiddling senbon in his free hand in an unconscious manner, “No. Definitely have never slept with Danzou. I don’t really like thinking about him that much. But back to Sai, I meant do you notice anything medically wrong with him?”


Sakura stopped walking and looked up at Genma brow furrowed, “No. Why? Did you notice something? I checked him over after our mission and he didn’t have anything wrong.”


“It’s probably nothing, you know what you’re doing about medical jutsu more than I ever will. It just felt like his chakra just now was. . . off. I don’t know. Don’t worry about it it’s probably nothing. I’ve never felt anything quite like it honestly but it was very subtle. Forget it,” Genma answered, releasing Sakura’s shoulder and walking slowly to lean on the wall of a closed antique shop, senbon hanging loosely in his mouth.


Genma couldn’t shake the feeling that he was missing something. Something important. There was a gnawing sensation deep in his stomach that had nothing to do with hunger. There was something about what he saw in Sai and being in ROOTS that was eating at his subconscious. Sure there was to obvious connection to his past but he was sure there was something more. It seemed just beyond his reach. He absently rubbed his hand over his tattoo and slid a little bit down the wall. He felt so drained.


“ What’s wrong Genma?” Sakura asked concerned. Genma suddenly looked very pale and she didn’t like the way he was slumping against the wall. “Shit.”


She walked the few steps over to him and set her bag down letting her healing chakra flow from hands into Genma checking him for injury.


“I’m so sorry I should have checked you right after you fought with Sasuke! I was so mad. I didn’t even heal your eye yet, you’re getting a pretty bad bruise there but don’t worry it’s easy enough to fix,” Sakura babbled as her chakra sent cooling rays to his face and the bruise disappeared as if it had never been.


Genma reached up and grabbed her hand and said “Sakura, it’s ok, really. I’m fine now.”


“Just let me make sure,” she said seriously trying to get her hand back out of his.

“It’s nothing, I’m just feeling a little off today,” Genma said firmly still holding her hand he brought it back to his face and gently kissed her fingers, “Would you like to turn me on?”


“Genma,” Sakura said blushing and trying not to smile, “ Your health is serious, you can’t just- mmph!”


Sakura was forced to stop talking as Genma artfully and quite amazingly spat his senbon into his weapons pouch and proceeded to thoroughly kiss the beautiful pink haired young medic. Sakura remained stunned for a moment as Genma’s tongue demanded entrance into her mouth. Without conscious thought, her lips parted and he invaded her mouth hungrily.


Genma didn’t want to think anymore. There was too much, just too much to deal with. He needed an escape from his thoughts and Sakura was more than up to the job of distracting him. He deepened the kiss sucking and stroking her tongue with his, gently biting and sucking on her sweet soft lips. His hands roamed her body as they kissed, firmly caressing her sides and back before making their way to her firm toned bottom. He grabbed it and pressed her soft feminine body against the hardness that had developed during their kiss.


Sakura moaned into Genma’s mouth, one hand resting on his cheek and the other gripping his hair on the back of his head in a firm hold not allowing him to stop the kiss. Not that he was trying to. In a breathtaking instant Genma turned them so Sakura’s back was against the brick wall. In one smooth movement he lifted her higher on his body and grabbed one thigh to bring it up and around his waist, their sexes now pressed agonizingly close together as he leaned firmly into her using the wall as a brace.


Sakura gasped as she felt his full hardness against her. Genma’s heat was intoxicating and without prompting, she quickly lifted her other leg to wrap around Genma’s slim muscular waist. His body felt so firm and hot against her soft curves and as he groaned into her mouth at their new position Sakura felt womanly and attractive like she hadn’t for a long time.


“Genma!” she gasped as he moved from her mouth to her neck, gripping and kneading her butt as he gently but firmly ground his hips into hers.


“I need you Sakura,” he said breathlessly into her ear as he licked and sucked at her earlobe. “Please, you’re so gorgeous, so hot and sexy.”
“Please. I feel fine, I’m not injured anymore,” he rasped giving a forceful thrust of his hips to emphasize his point. “I’ve got to have you tonight.”


All Sakura could manage was “Mmm-hmm” as his mouth again trailed from her ear to the base of her neck sucking and biting just until it began to hurt and then licking and kissing it better before starting again.


“I need you too,” Sakura gasped into his ear, “You’re so damn hot. I need you. Please let’s go somewhere-“


“Whoooohoooo! Yeah!” came loud voices from about fifteen feet away, “Grab that ass! Screw her brains out dude!”


Sakura instantly froze and turned quickly towards the catcalls to see a group of four or five twenty-something’s whistling and making lewd gestures at them.


If Sakura wasn’t already as pink in the face as her hair from the kissing now she defiantly was from embarrassment. She quickly dropped her legs down from Genma’s waist and tried to step away but Genma, after glancing blankly at the group, gently tipped her chin up towards him and kissed her softly and warmly making her forget anything else and causing her knees melt. When he finally stepped back she stood flushed and breathless unable to think. She didn’t even hear any of the wolf whistles directed at the pair of them.


“I think you were about to suggest we go somewhere more private,” Genma said huskily.


Sakura nodded mutely and grabbed their bag letting him lead her down the street away from the appreciative crowd they had attracted.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


“Whew! Got out of that one just in time,” Kakashi told Sasuke scratching the back of his head as they ran back towards the resort, “Sakura was pretty pissed off we busted up her evening.”


“Hn,” Sasuke answered frowning.


“What were you trying to beat up Genma about? Is he blackmailing you or something?” Kakashi laughed.


“Nothing you need to know about,” Sasuke grumbled not wanting to talk in the least.


He could not believe he had reacted so badly. He should have made sure of what Sai was saying before he went running off after Genma. He felt so unbalanced ever since he had returned to Konoha. After killing Itachi, he and team Hebi had reluctantly joined forces with Konoha to destroy Akatsuki and the one called Tobi in particular. He had been able to return to Konoha and loose his missing nin status after various restrictions, punishments and conditions had been applied. He didn’t care as long as he was able to continue to train and begin to reestablish his clan, but the problem was that he just couldn’t seem to fully function in “normal” company any more. After years of being the avenger and barely interacting with anyone normal people would call human, coming back into a team environment was grating and confusing.


“I need to know if it causes problems with the whole team like this. I don’t need to know every aspect of your life Sasuke but our team work is what keeps us alive and I can’t have whatever’s going on with you affect that. We need you but we need Sakura just as much. She’s our medic, the one that keeps us all alive. What’s more, Konoha needs her, she’s the most skilled medic besides Tsunade in the village. What’s bothering you Sasuke? If I can help you I will,” Kakashi told hum quietly but seriously as they neared the resort.


“There’s nothing wrong Kakashi. It’s fine,” Sasuke told him turning his head to the side and rolling his eyes.


“It’s not fine,” Kakashi, answered firmly, “I think it’s time we spent some time officially as a team outside of work. I’m going to figure out some things we’ll do this week to get to know each other better.”


“Kakashi I’m not-”Sasuke started irritably.


“I’m still the leader of this team and you’ll do as I say. We’re going to have fun with each other if it kills us,” Kakashi growled as they finally saw their cabins come into view. “I think that’s enough togetherness for today. I want to see you and everyone else by lunch tomorrow so tell Naruto and Sai when they get back.”


“Hn,” Sasuke huffed as he stormed his way into his cabin and shut the door.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Damn it Sai! Why didn’t you help me!” Naruto whined rubbing bread crumbs out of his blond hair and only succeeding in causing them to fall down the back of his shirt.


“I didn’t know you needed back up against a restaurant manager,” Sai answered blank faced as they walked , “On the hand-”


Sai was cut off as Naruto aimed a punch at Sai’s big fat mouth which he dodged easily and proceeded to knock Naruto’s knees out from under him.


“It’s becoming more and more apparent I’m going to have to keep and eye out for you on future missions,”Sai continued flawlessly as Naruto picked himself up angrily and marched to catch up with him, “It would be a shame to lose such a . . . valuable team member.”


“You think I’m a valuable team member now?” Naruto asked stunned.


“Of course,” Sai replied turning back to the Kyuubi container with his usual fake smile. “You inspire emotions and friendship in others. You have an ability to create bonds with people where no one else can. And most importantly you make everyone else on the team look good.”


“Did you just make a joke?” Naruto asked mouth open as Sai continued to walk.


Sai just turned his face back toward Naruto and smiled hesitantly. A rare real smile from the dark artist.


“Haha! Sai that’s great!” Naruto beamed catching up to him and patting him on the back.


“So tell me, what’s going on with you and Sakura-chan?” Naruto asked grinning widely.


“We were exploring our bond,” Sai answered thoughtfully, “It’s very strange. When I’m around Perky now something is different.”


“Do you looooooove her?” Naruto crooned dancing around Sai as they walked.


“I don’t fully understand that term. I have never loved anybody so I suppose that could be a possibility. What is love?” Sai asked blankly.


“That’s so depressing Sai,” Naruto sighed. “Well anyway I think I’d like you to be with Sakura more then Genma. He’s so old! Even older then Kakashi-sensei.”


“Hn,” Sai replied.


“You’re around Sasuke-teme too much,” Naruto grumbled, “I’m hungry you want to go back and get room service?”


“Hn,” Sai answered non-committedly.


“Come on, I bet I’ll beat your ANBU butt back to the cabin!” Naruto yelled taking off before Sai could respond.


“As if,” Sai muttered flashing off after him

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The walk back to their cabin was too slow for either Genma or Sakura and punctuated with hot kisses but somehow they wound up outside their cabin.


“Your room or mine?” Genma asked quickly kissing her fiercely as he pressed her against the door.


“I don’t care,” Sakura replied unthinking and reaching blindly for the doorknob, “Mine I guess.”


With un-shinobi like grace they landed on the floor as Sakura finally got the door open.


Sakura giggled wildly as Genma landed carefully on top of her taking all the weight on his arms and knees.

“Ow,” Genma laughed letting more of his weight on Sakura as he leaned his face into her neck and bite her gently.


“Poor baby, let me kiss it better,” she laughed grabbing his face and bringing it around to hers to kiss him as she wrapped her legs around him.


“Fuck the room lets just stay here,” Genma growled between licks, kisses and bites.


“No way! I’m sick of people walking in on us, I don’t want people walking on us,” Sakura laughed as she rolled them over and stood up off of Genma, grabbing his hand and pulling him to his feet.


“I love a strong woman,” Genma grinned lasciviously keeping hold of her hand and pulling her close.


“Then I think you’ve got more than you can handle in me,” Sakura smiled coyly.


“I think I’ve got a hand on it,” Genma smirked running his hand down her body to grab her butt.


“Two can play at that game,” Sakura replied in a sultry voice reaching her hand in between them and caressing the tight bulge in his jeans.


Genma hissed in pleasure as she stroked him and leaned forward to breathe into her ear, “That’s the best way to play.”


Sakura turned her head towards him and for a long moment they looked into each others lust soaked eyes. Genma smirked and brought his hand gently up to her face moving away some soft pink strands that covered it.


“You really are beautiful Sakura,” he whispered studying every inch of her face.


Sakura felt herself blushing as Genma tilted her head back and softly pressed his lips to hers. His mouth moved slowly this time, still passionate but not as wild and hungry. His tongue caressed her lips and entered her mouth massaging her tongue smoothly with his. His hand ran through her hair, stroking her scalp deliciously and she felt her eyes close and head tilt back even farther to deepen the kiss. She felt unreal. Genma was defiantly the most passionate and skilled man she had ever been with and she couldn’t wait to see what else he was good at.


“Let’s go to bed,” Sakura smiled up at him, biting her bottom lip provocatively.


“You usually go to bed at 8:00 at night?” Genma asked resting his hand in the small of her back as they walked to her room.


“When I have my ‘Daddy’ to tuck me in,” she quipped, squeaking and jumping as he goosed her walking through the door.


Ok there is the next chapter. Sorry to cut it off there but I’m thinking twice about including the actual sex part in FF. I know I already have a very smutty story on FF but I’ve been thinking and I know there’s a lot of really young people on here that I’m not sure I want to contribute to their ability to read hard core smut. In any case I will post it in AFF defiantly and I’ll decide if I will post the sex here by the time I update next. I may do a toned down version for here. I’ll have to think. As always please R&R!!
