What the New Year Brings

Thank you as always for all the reviews, faves, and alerts! Special thanks to everyone who left their opinion on whether or not I should do a lemon for this chapter.

It was a difficult decision to make because although the majority of you voted for a lemon (some very, very enthusiastically I might add!) the non-lemon people stated their reasons for not wanting another lemon quite well as well, so I seriously found myself unsure of what to do. In the end, however, I just had to follow my muse because it usually knows better than I do what's going to happen later on in the story.

This chapter is dedicated to InARealPickle on FF and EraAntha on the KakaSaku site because although both of you voted for no lemon, I was still able to incorporate your ideas into this chapter which, ironically enough, you might not even read! (sigh)

Anyway...Don't worry non-lemon readers - after this it's back to the mission and good old-fashioned fluff and humor, but until then...

Warning: Rated M for LEMON.

Chapter 24-The First Time Sakura Has A Second Time

As Kakashi breaks our breathtaking kiss, sprinkling affectionate kisses on my face and neck instead, I comb my fingers through his soft, silver hair and laugh at him:

"You know, they're going to be wondering what-

" ...are they doing?!" Hiraku asks Naruto hysterically.

"Um..." Naruto says, scratching the back of his neck nervously and sweatdropping. As Hiraku looks back at him expectantly waiting for an answer, he finds himself at a complete loss for words.

'Dattebayo!' he thinks to himself. 'What the hell are you guys doing?!'

"They can wait." Kakashi murmurs against the side of my neck. "The sun isn't even up yet. And besides, doesn't this feel good?" he asks, moving his kisses down from my neck towards my sternum.

"Of course it does, Kakashi, but-"

"That's not what I meant, Sakura. I meant doesn't it feel good breaking the rules and being positively naughty?" Kakashi asks, smirking up at me from between the valley of my breasts.

"Kakashi, I don't usually-"

Then he plants a kiss upon the dip as his hands slide up my body to cup and gently squeeze my breasts.

"Oh, geez, Kakashi! I don't usually-"

And then his tongue trails up the round curve of one of my breasts and starts to lazily trace circles around its areola.

"Mmm...break the rules, Kakashi!" I'm finally able to spit out.

"You're here with me now, aren't you?" Kakashi asks after releasing my nipple with a wet pop. "Just being with me is breaking all kinds of rules. And if you really did want me to stop, all you have to do is ask." He says, dragging his tongue across the valley of my breasts to suck at my other nipple as his hand gently massages my other breast now wet with his saliva.

"Kakashi..." I pant, finding it difficult to string words coherently together. "We probably should sto-"

His tongue immediately goes from running slow circles around my nipple to quickly flicking against it, making my legs involuntarily and violently shake.

"Oh, screw it! Just keep going!" I say, throwing my head back on the pillow, simply enjoying the feel of his hot mouth and tongue against me.

"You're lucky I'm not an enemy ninja, Sakura. You're so easy to persuade." Kakashi smiles up at me.

"If you were an enemy ninja, Kakashi, I'd be a missing nin because I'd have spilled out all of Konoha's secrets by now and Tsunade would be on my ass like a hemorrhoid!"

"Lovely image during lovemaking, Sakura. Really." Kakashi says with a disbelieving shake of his head while continuing his journey of kisses down my body.

"I'm just saying, you could make anyone sing like a bird!"

Kakashi suddenly freezes on top of me, halting all kisses and gentle massages altogether.

My eyes widen in realization.

"No way!"

"I was in ANBU back then." Kakashi says with an offhanded shrug of his shoulders. "Besides, it never got too far. Just enough to get what I needed, make my kill, and leave."

"Get what you needed?" I ask, raising an eyebrow up at him.

"Information, Sakura. Geez, you have a dirty mind!"

"Says the man who reads 'Come, Come Paradise' in public and currently has his morning 'happiness' pressed up against my thigh!"

"Yeah, well, my 'morning happiness' is about to make you happy, too, so I really don't think you have a reason to be complaining."

"Pervert."

"So are you."

"Hentai."

"So are you. And 'pervert' and 'hentai' are the same thing." Kakashi informs me.

"Oh will you just get back to what you were doing?!"

"Happily." Kakashi answers before continuing to rain kisses down the length of my body.

Now he's at my stomach and with each soft kiss he plants upon it, I can't help but let out a tickled laugh.

"I didn't know you were ticklish, Sakura. Well now I'm just going to have to have fun with you." Kakashi muses.

I barely have the chance to give him a panicked look before I'm screaming:

"Oh my God! Stop it, Kakashi! I said STOP!" I laugh uncontrollably and try to push him away as he blows a raspberry on my stomach.

"Do you hear laughing?" Hiraku looks questioningly at Naruto.

Naruto gives an "I don't know" shrug of his shoulders, but in his head he's thinking: "You two better not be doing what I think you're doing, dattebayo!"

Slipping two fingers inside of me and slowly pumping them in and out between my already wet folds, Kakashi quickly gets my laughter to die down and have it replaced with a deep, pleasured moan.

Up until this point our foreplay has been one-sided, so laying on my side and getting Kakashi to do the same, I reach for his member and begin to gently stroke it from tip to base then slowly back up again, repeating the motion until it's Kakashi who lets out a pleasured moan.

I see a droplet of precum ooze from his tip and raising myself up to slide his fingers out of me, I push him down flat on his back, wrap my lips around his tip, and suck his seed away. If at all possible, Kakashi lets out an even louder moan.

Relaxing my throat, I let him further into the hot, wet cavern of my mouth, slowly bobbing my head up and down against him while simultaneously swirling my tongue against the silkened skin of his cock, letting it slide between my gently probing tongue and the muscles of his hardened member.

Bringing my hand down, I carefully begin to juggle his balls with one hand while my other hand wraps around his base, gently squeezing him up and down in rhythm to my quickly bobbing head.

"Sakura..." Kakashi says my name in a way I've never heard it before, it's both breathless and desperate.

Looking up at him, I see that his eyes are squeezed tightly shut and I know he's trying his best not to lose it.

I slowly let him go and once he's free, he quickly reaches for his backpack next to his bedroll, rummages through it, and pulls out a now familiar small packet covered in foil.

I again watch him in eager anticipation as he tears the foil off, takes the rubber out, pinches its tip, then rolls the rest of it all the way down to his base. With a slight nod of his head indicating that he's ready, I position myself above him with my legs spread wide apart and slowly lower myself down upon him, letting him sink inch by slow inch deeper inside of me. I'm still sore and unused to his penetration and although I know I will get used to it in time, for now I can only lay motionless on top of him, waiting for the pain to ebb away before I can even begin to rock against him.

Cupping my face in his hands, Kakashi angles his head one way and then the other to take my attention away from the stabbing pain between my legs and towards the pleasure of his hungry kisses instead. It works, not only because my focus has been altered, but with him kissing me the way he is, I'm also getting wetter and more pliant by the minute. So when he brings his hands down to my hips and raises his own hips up off the bed to drive himself into me, I'm relieved to feel pleasure coursing through my body rather than pain.

"Again." I murmur close to his ear.

And again Kakashi raises his hips up while bringing mine down upon his.

We both let out a contented moan.

Knowing that it will no longer hurt, I begin gyrating my hips against Kakashi, letting my clit bump against him with each wide circle of my hips. Feelings of pleasure immediately shoot up from all my nerve endings and I find myself swirling and grinding my pelvis against his at an increasingly faster pace and with smaller and smaller circles. I can feel the tension building up inside of me until my breathing quickens of its own volition, my inner muscles undulate uncontrollably around his hardened cock, and then just as quickly both my breathing and my body still as my vaginal walls clamp down hard on Kakashi's member, refusing to let it go until wave upon wave of sheer, unadultered bliss racks my body.

When my inner muscles finally relax and loosen their vice-like grip around Kakashi, he gives me just a minute to catch my breath and bring my heart rate back down to normal before he's mercilessly pistoning himself into me once more. I rest the side of my face next to his, squeeze my eyes tightly shut, and try to endure the impossible speed and force he's using to drive into me.

I feel my inner muscles begin to undulate around him again, indicating the beginnings of yet another orgasm when he huffs hotly into my ear:

"I'm-"

"...coming any minute! I told them we were waiting!" Naruto tries to tell Hiraku who just continues to look irritated and unconvinced.

Kakashi gives a few more desperate thrusts before slamming hard into me one last time and groaning his release into my ear. I can only hold my breath because I'm experiencing my own high as my inner muscles clamp down hard upon him during my second orgasm.

As he collapses back down onto the bed and I collapse on top of him, we pant exhaustedly into each other's ear, grateful for our mutual and simultaneous release.

Honestly, I don't know how both of us could've gone straight to work with both of us so-

"...hot and bothered, Hiraku-chan. It's still really early and I'm sure they'll be here any minute." Madam Shijimi tries to comfort her daughter while stroking Tora's back who's currently at wit's end trying to jump out of the well-meaning woman's embrace.

"Fine, mother! But if you ask me, I still think it's highly unprofes-"

"Sorry to make you wait." Kakashi interrupts, strolling happily along by my side, giving everyone a "hello" salute and a happy eye crease.

"See? There they are!" Madam Shijimi smiles and waves back at us.

"Where were you?!" Naruto asks me with gritted teeth once I come to a stop by his side.

"Same place I was when you last saw me." I say with a sly smile. "Oh, and Naruto? Kakashi just reminded me that you owe me money. Lots and lots of money." I say, my smile growing even wider.

"And how's that?" he asks a little bit peeved.

"Because, not only have I seen his face several times now, but I can also tell you that he doesn't have buckteeth or fishlips and that he's actually very, very good looking and even looks way younger than he really is." I say with a knowing smile.

"Dattebayo!" Naruto says both in disbelief and bewilderment.

To be continued...
