Chapter 3

Kakashi waited patiently while Sakura unlocked her apartment. He wasn’t sure exactly why he was feeling so anxious. After all, he had known Sakura since she was 11 years old. ‘Maybe that’s why, baka!’ Kakashi reprimanded himself mentally. ‘She’s a child! No, not a child anymore. And you’re not her sensei anymore either. Not for a long time now.’ She led him into her apartment, unaware of his internal debate. She flipped the kitchen light on and went to the stove to put on a kettle for tea.

“Please, sit sown. Are you hungry?”

“No. I ate earlier. But thank you anyway.” He replied.

“Well, I hope you don’t mind if I do. I need to get a little something in my stomach. That wine didn’t sit well with me.”

“No problem. Where were you anyway? That is……if you don’t mind me asking.” He had wondered where she had been earlier tonight but he thought it prudent to wait to ask such a trivial question until later.

“I… was out with Ino.” Sakura was in better spirits with Kakashi around and didn’t want to spoil it by remembering why she was in such a bad mood in the first place. Kakashi gracefully let the subject drop. He could tell she didn’t feel like talking about it.

“So how was your mission?” Sakura started making small talk to kill the time while she prepared herself a small meal. Kakashi amused her by answering her questions, but his mind was preoccupied with watching Sakura move gracefully around her kitchen. He couldn’t help but stare at her. The way her hips swayed as she walked. The way the tips of her pink hair brushed the exposed skin on her lower back. Her narrow waist, perfect shapely hips, and of course possibly the best ass he had ever seen anywhere. NO, she was definitely all grown up. There was still an internal monologue going on in his head, trying to decide if he was lecherous for thinking some very sexual things about his former student and friend. When she was through preparing her meal she turned around and walked towards Kakashi and the table. He wondered why he hadn’t noticed yet that the scrap of fabric she was sporting as a shirt was actually lingerie. He could see the outline of her nipples under the silk. She smiled at him and sat down to eat. He hoped that she had not seen him ogling her. For once Kakashi was cursing his damn mask. His mouth had gone completely dry, and unless he wanted to “expose” himself to her, he was just shit out of luck. He was suddenly wandering if this was a good idea. He couldn’t seem to get his mind out of the gutter. He was putting on a good show of listening to her, though, but his mind was steadily providing him with fodder that could fuel his imagination for months to come. He cursed the erection that was growing in his pants. He forced himself to calm down through his breathing technique. He forced himself not to look at her while she tended to her dishes. He made his way to the living room and waited for her to finish.

“Are you ready for bed?” Sakura asked. Kakashi nearly choked. Damn his traitorous mind.

“Sure.” Was that a squeak? He forced his tone to even out. “Do you have a spare blanket?”

“Well, yes.” Sakura hesitated. “But I just assumed that you would sleep with me.”

FUUUCK!! He swore to lay off the Icha Icha novels. He really was a pervert. Sakura must have registered his look of shock and realized her mistake, as she corrected herself quickly.

“I mean to say that I thought that you would like to share the bed with me. That couch isn’t very comfortable.” She said by way of explanation.

“Uh, I don’t think that’s a good idea Sakura.” He replied.

“Oh. I see.” God he hated that look on her face. She looked like someone just ran over her dog. ‘God I hope I don’t regret this.’ He thought.

“Never mind, Sakura. It’s okay. I’ll sleep in there with you.” He assured her. Maybe she wouldn’t notice if he slipped into the bathroom for a few minutes…..

“Alright.” She seemed a little relieved. “Why were you so hesitant? I really don’t want you here out of pity you know.”

Kakashi didn’t know how to answer that without sounding like a total pervert. Sometimes honesty isn’t the best policy. Maybe a half-truth then…

“Well, I just didn’t want to overstep any boundaries.” There, that was simple. Now she seemed to be getting the picture.

“Would it really be so bad?” She said in a near whisper. He wasn’t even sure he heard her correctly. He had, but he was in denial. Why would she want him? He was old and she could have anyone she wanted. “I’m tired of being alone, Kakashi. Do you realize that I’ve never been with a man? Everytime I tried to be intimate with anyone, all I could see was his face.” He didn’t have to ask who He was. It was understood. Kakashi was sinking with the weight of her admittance. What was she asking of him? She had closed in on him while he was digesting this information and she wrapped her arms around him and was holding him tightly.

“Don’t you every get lonely, Kakashi?” He was still in a state of shock and surprised himself when he answered her question honestly.

“Yes.”

“How do you deal with it?” She asked. He really didn’t want to answer that he usually picked up a random woman in a bar when he got desperate, or that Anko was pretty free with her love.

“Any number of ways. I find distraction works well.” He answered.

“Is that all?” She asked.

“No.” He whispered.

“Will you … help me to forget?” She asked softly. “If only for tonight.” Kakashi wasn’t entirely certain what these feelings were that he was having, but he did know that he wanted to help her in any way he could. God, how many times had he gone through those same feelings? He could find no reason to object, so he answered her silent question. He watched her eyes as he hooked his finger under his mask and slowly pulled it until it pooled around his neck. Sakura could only gape at this man whom she had known for so long, yet never really knew at all. He was beautiful. Why would he hide his beauty behind that mask? Her mental list of questions stopped the instant he leaned slowly in and placed a chaste kiss on her lips. He lingered for what only seemed like an eternity and then parted his mouth to gently lick her bottom lip, seeking entrance. She opened for him and he slipped his tongue into her mouth, tasting her. She moaned in a manner that caused Kakashi’s cock to twitch. Her hands darted to his hair and pulled him as close as he could get while they tasted each other for the first time. As much as he was enjoying this, he was ready for more. It had been too long since he had been with a woman. And he had a feeling that he wouldn’t remember any of those before her after they were through.
