Growing Up Sakura

Chapter 6: A Night on the Town, Chapter 7: Self Control


Kakashi sat at the counter of Ichiraku a while longer and toyed idly with his chopsticks and contemplated exactly what had just happened. This was not how he liked to handle things and he knew that somewhere he had lost control of what he was saying, letting the first thoughts that came to his mind spill out without evaluation. True he was dog-tired. He had gotten back late from a physically and emotionally exhausting A rank mission, been woken up at an ungodly hour by a certain pink little Kunochi, been healed of his injuries which had taken more energy from his tired body, and then gone out to train from 9:00 in the morning till 5:00 at night. Not to mention that for the first time he had been knocked out by his students, which irked him much more then it maybe really should have. Perhaps explaining things to Naruto when he was in this state had been a mistake, but he wanted Naruto to hear from him. News would surely be getting around by now. And Sakura. Now there was the real dilemma. Where had all that stuff come from about her pining over Sasuke? He knew not only from her reaction this morning but also from many past conversations and chats that she most probably didn’t “love” the little Uchiha anymore. Why had he brought it up, especially when he knew how much it would offend her?


Kakashi stirred his remaining broth as thoughts of Sakura swirled through his head. He was amazed at the results of their training session this afternoon. He had expected the improvement that Naruto always seemed to show every time he came back, but Sakura was something different altogether today. It seemed as though all the pieces had come together and Sakura was now a complete and well-adjusted Shinobi. She had kept up with Naruto and him. He noted some things that she would need to work on and he had some Jistus that he thought she might be able to use now, but in the end she had stayed her ground. Well in fact she and Naruto had both met the ground face first, but for the first time, they went down at the same time. Pride surged through Kakashi, a feeling that he was not really altogether familiar with. Pride would get you killed, but pride in a rising former student, well previously that had been almost solely reserved for Sasuke and Naruto. So why after seeing her succeed like this had he torn her down?


Jealous.


The thought came suddenly and unbidden, and made him almost drop the cup he had been about to take a sip out of. Was he jealous that Sakura might still care about Sasuke in that way? Why should he, especially when he knew in his heart she didn’t. But yet somehow there it was. When she had continued Naruto’s ridiculous idea about Sasuke surviving, even winning against that snake demon, he know clearly recognized that as another feeling that the infamous copy-nin rarely came across, jealously.


Setting down the money for the ramen, Kakashi decided to shelve that line of thinking for the moment and strolled stooped shouldered, with hands in his pockets through the evening crowds of Konoha. Glancing at a clock in nearby store he saw the time was now 6:00 and he decided that maybe he would just go ahead and report on Sakura’s progress to the hokage. Tsunde should know about her new technique and the fact that she was one step closer to rising to Jounin. This set him in a slightly better mood and he picked up the pace jumping to the roofs and skimming over them so that he could get to the headquarters faster. Yes, there was no room for jealousy in the copy-nin now, only innocent pride in an up and coming student. But somewhere, underneath the part of his brain that was lying to itself to make him feel better, the unbidden emotion that was so rarely stirred in the copy-nin was beginning to fester.


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


Sakura stalked through the crowd towards her apartment fuming silently over the little scene she had just had with Kakashi. How DARE he think so little of her! Naruto had a small chance of being right, there was no doubt, but it didn’t hurt to explore it. There was certainly no reason to take her words as a desperate wish to have a make-out session with Sasuke!


“Why would he think that!” Sakura whined to herself.


“You should’ve clocked him for that!” inner Sakura agreed.


“I just want to forget about what happened and go out with the Ino-pig,” Sakura thought to herself.


Deep inside Sakura did believe that Sasuke was gone and she felt a part of herself drop away. An old crush and teammate had met with fate. A fate that the idiot had put himself on voluntarily, true, but still.


Unbidden thoughts of Kakashi’s hand on her shoulder this morning crept through to her conscious mind. That simple gesture had felt so nice; she wished that he had done something like that again tonight instead of disparaging her.


“STOP!” Sakura thought to herself instantly. “ What’s with all these Kakashi thoughts today! I really need to find a guy.”


It had been almost a year since she had gone out on a date with anyone, a shinobi one year ahead of her had asked her out a couple of times, but he wasn’t really her type and they hadn’t hit it off. After that she had taken her training even more seriously and decided to forgo boys for a bit.


“I guess now that I’m finally able to keep up with Naruto I might be able to find time to have a guy,” Sakura thought.


“Past time!” Inner Sakura agreed.


“Well that’s the purpose of going out with Ino tonight isn’t it!” Sakura countered.


Ino, her friendship with the blond bombshell was still fragile and filled with rivalry but with Sasuke gone they had been able to find comfort and girl talk with each other. And occasionally outings like the one she had planned tonight. Ino dated a lot, although Sakura felt like the guy she really liked was Shikamaru, but Ino said she didn’t feel ready to be tied down yet; she wanted to test the waters first. She said Shikamaru had plans for marriage and kids and Ino was NOT ready to be a mommy! Which was why Sakura wondered by she slept around quite so much. Sure there was birth control but nothing is ever guaranteed! Sakura was still a virgin. After Sasuke left it wasn’t something she was particularly intent on saving but it had never felt right. There was one guy, Ryo, which she had met in sand when she was doing some medical studies with Tsunde, and they had dated quite seriously for those couple of months. They both knew that it wasn’t forever, she was going back to Konoha and he was a Sand country shinobi, but they had had some fun while it lasted.


Smiling inwardly thinking of those nights Sakura realized that she was horny.


“That’s my problem,” Sakura thought to herself smiling evilly “Too much time by myself with no crushes or companionship, that’s why Kakashi touching me set me off. It’s defiantly time to find a guy. A little make-out session would do me no harm.”


Stopping in her tracks one block before her apartment she suddenly thought of the clothes currently lodged within her closet. Nothing appropriate for catching guys. Just some medic outfits, more of the training clothes that she wore now and one lonely white sundress with an ugly floral print her mother had bought for her for some outing last year.


“Only one solution to a problem like this,” She pondered cheerily. “SHOPPING!”


Sakura raced upstairs to her apartment and showered quickly, packing a bag with some makeup, hair accessories and some money, Sakura tossed on a clean training outfit and dashed back out of her apartment towards the clothing district.


It had been so long since she had gone shopping for clothes of any sort.


“ Maybe tomorrow I’ll find something else to do training and missions in,” Sakura thought, “I’ve changed a lot from the genin who wore these, I think I need to show it on the outside too.”


Sakura strolled quickly by the shop windows eyeing the elegantly clothed mannequins and trying to find just the right outfit to get what she wanted tonight. I want to attract a guy without being sluttish. I want it to say “I want to have a little fun” but I’m not going all the way with a complete stranger. I want to feel pretty and attractive.


Seeing some good signs of taste and style from a store on the corner Sakura decided to go in and have a closer look. Walking down the aisle of clothing she idly picked at a couple of pieces until she saw a certain something displayed on the mannequin inside the store. It was a grey and pink swirled dress made out of a flowing material the skirt would come just above her knees and the straps were made so they rested on the sides of her shoulders. Grabbing one in her size she went to try it on. It was like it was made for her. It fit the curves of her body perfectly without over emphasizing anything and the pink and grey fit her coloring to a T. Leaving it on she went to the shop keeper and paid. Now to find shoes. She was still wearing her shinobi style sandals and that would never do. Going down a couple of blocks Sakura found a pair of lovely pink pumps that would match delightfully and paid for those as well. Glancing at the clock she saw it was now almost 7:00, and she was due to meet Ino in the dance club across town. Hopping into the stores bathroom, Sakura carefully applied her make-up and put her hair out of her face with a couple of barrettes that she had bought. Studying herself in the mirror Sakura felt confident that she looked pretty damn hot.


Running outside and dashing swiftly so as not to be too late for meeting Ino, Sakura used all of her ninja reflexes to evade passersby and stay on her feet in her new high heels. Reaching the club 10 minutes later Sakura checked her hair in the glass of the store next store and walked into the club. She quickly spotted Ino standing by the bar chatting up a handsome young shinobi with spiky brown hair and a killer smile. Strolling over to them Sakura glanced around the room looking for some fresh meat of her own and selecting several candidates. She turned her normal walk into a more alluring one the way girls can do, making sure to slightly sway her hips with each step and give a few secret smiles on the way.


Ino spotted her as she got within 5 feet and yelled “Oh my gosh Forehead you look great!”


The brown haired Shinobi Ino had been chatting with turned to look and gave an approving nod.


“Hi,” he greeted with a smile that made Sakura want to blush.


“Watch it Yawara, you’re here with me,” Ino said fiercely. “You’re dressed to kill Sakura, are you sure you’re here for a girls night out?”


“Just as much as you are,” Sakura replied giving Yawara a small smile.


“In that case maybe we should split up and meet again later,” Ino suggested grabbing Yawara’s arm and walking over to the dance floor.


Sakura sat at the bar deciding what to order when she heard a familiar voice call her name from across the room. Glancing over Sakura’s jaw dropped and she shot up from her seat as she saw the dark spiky red hair and crystal blue eyes that could belong to none other then her Ryu from sand country. She watched as his strong lean form stepped past the other revelers in the club to come straight to her. Running to meet him half way she threw herself into his arms and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek, pleased when he hugged her back and smiled at her.


“What are you doing in Konoha?” Sakura asked happily.


“Just finished up an escort mission. We got done earlier then expected so I thought I’d go out and have some fun. I was hoping that I’d bump into you!” Ryu said grinning.


“I was just thinking of you,” Sakura informed him.


“Great!” Said Ryu thoroughly pleased. He thought Sakura looked amazing. He was glad that he had tried to track her down after escorting the old fart back to Konoha “You look even better then I remembered.”


“Thanks, I guess this dress is slightly better then a medic outfit huh?” Sakura said with a sly smile on her face.


“Depends on the situation,” Ryu replied looking deep into her green eyes.


“God she’s hot,” he thought, “I wonder if I can get anywhere with her tonight. We came so close when she was back in sand its driving me crazy! I’ve got to finally have her tonight.”


“He’s so handsome,” Sakura thought dreamily as she stared into his ice blue eyes. “He’s just what I needed tonight. Some fun with no pressure, he knows what my boundaries are.”


“You want to dance a bit,” Ryu suggested as a new song began to start.


“Sure!” Sakura replied letting him lead her by the hand to the dance floor.


They danced together for several hours, through fast and slow songs, stopping for breaks in between to get some drinks. When the clock said 9:45 Sakura already felt a bit tipsy and decided she’d reached her limit.


Seeing that Sakura was a bit tipsy Ryu felt it would be a good chance to ask her to come back with him to his hotel, “Sakura you wanna come see my room? They gave me one of the best rooms in the hotel since we got the guy I was escorting back so soon. I don’t even have to share with my teammates, we each got our own.”


“Hotel room, I’m not sure,” Sakura said feeling slightly uncomfortable with the idea.


“Come on Sakura, we’ll just hang out, we won’t do anything you’re uncomfortable with, besides when will you get the chance to see such an awesome room in a hotel in your own village, it’s not like you’ll ever stay there on you own. It’ll be fun.” Ryu said quietly leaning his forehead onto Sakura’s and holding her close, looking into her eyes.


“Come on girl, you know you want to, we already decided you needed a bit of fun tonight right,” inner Sakura prodded.


“And it is Ryu after all, he’s such a good kisser and he never pushed me too far. Besides I heard that hotel is awesome,” Sakura replied to herself.


“Sure let’s go,” Sakura agreed.


Ryu leaned in and put his lips gently on top of hers, pressing a light warm kiss onto her pink lips.


“Let’s go,” he said in a deep voice grabbing her hand and leading her out the door.


Sakura gave a quick wave to Ino and Yawara who were busy making out in the corner of the room and let Ryu lead her out into the night.


********************

Kakashi strolled through the headquarters and stopped outside of the desk in front of Tsunde’s office.


“Evening Shizune,” Kakashi greeted.


“Kakashi-san, I don’t believe Tsunde-sama called for you,” the cute secretary said smiling at the silver haired masked shinobi slouching over her desk.


“I wonder if he has back problems from always having such bad posture?” Shizune thought idly.


“I know,” Kakashi replied, “I need to see her to report a chunin’s progress towards Jounin class.”


“Really? We have so many talented shinobi nowadays! We’ve had all kinds of reports over the past week. Jiraiya-sama came just the other day about that Uzamaki boy,” Shizune informed the copy-nin.


“Really? Naruto?” Kakashi said wondering if the young blond shinobi had gotten one over on the San-nin.


“Probably used the Harem Jitsu,” Kakashi thought giggling at the thought of the nosebleed the ero-nin probably had.


“Well, you’re in luck Kakashi-san, it seems that Tsunde-sama has just finished dinner and she is available at the moment, I’ll send you right in,” Shizune told Kakashi smiling and gesturing towards the door to Tsunde’s office.


“Thanks Shizune,” said Kakashi, crinkling and eye at her and going through the door.


“Ah Kakashi-san!” Tsunde said cheerily, “ To what do I owe the pleasure of your company?”


“I have a report to make about Sakura-san,” Kakashi said strolling into her office and taking a seat in front of her desk.


“Sakura-chan? How is she doing?” Tsunde asked interested.


“Exceptional. You have truly tutored her well Tsunde-sama. I have come to tell you that Sakura has developed an new technique which has been able to overcome a truly exceptional Jounin.” Kakashi said rather proudly.


“Exceptional Jounin? Which one? Gai-san? Asume-san? I’m not really sure if Iruka-san would be considered exceptional, he’s a fine teacher yes but-“Tsunde continued with a humorous glint in her eye.


“It was ME Tsunde-san” Kakashi said a little aggravated.


“Oh! From your description I never would have gue-“ Tsunde began.


“Would you like to know the details of the Jitsu?” Kakashi asked staring at her flatly.


“Of course, do go on,” Tsunde said, straightening her face.


“Sakura has managed to combine taijitsu and medical techniques so that touching a pressure point on someone’s body she is able to incapacitate them, or kill them,” Kakashi explained. “It may be difficult for her to get to the exact spot in battle, however, in under cover missions or with the proper teamwork I am sure that you can see the benefits of such a technique.”


“That’s fabulous! That’s ingenious! Why haven’t I thought of that? It’s so obvious; a medic-nin has all the knowledge of the special areas of the body why hasn’t anyone come up with this! And that little devil, she didn’t even ask my advice on it!” Tsunde spouted proudly, her respect for her apprentice rising.


“Tsunde-sama, you mean that you did not help her with this at all? I felt sure that you would have known Sakura was working on something like this,” Kakashi asked astonished.


“No, she never told me, I guess she wanted it to be a surprise. Well thank you so much for reporting this so soon Kakashi-san! Our little Sakura is one step closer to becoming a full-fledged Jounin! Her skills with medicine will exceed my own soon and with innovations like these I am excited to see how much she will grow,” Tsunde replied. “I hope that she has grown enough that she will be able to pass the third test. Several years ago I would have bet that she would never make Jounin. Her crush on the Uchiha heir was so obsessive and intrusive; it really hampered her growth. Now though, I think she has a real chance.”


“I agree,” Kakashi said, a little distraught at being reminded of the whole Sasuke incident.


“Oh, that reminds me. We have just gotten some more news on the situation with Otogakure. It seems that someone matching Sasuke’s description has taken control, and it seems that now that Akatsuki are allied with them. I am afraid that we have to assume at this point that Sasuke was possessed by Orochimaru,” Tsunde told Kakashi.


“I suppose so, if Sasuke had somehow won I doubt he would have wanted to become a Hokage, and he never would have allied with the Akatsuki, his intentions of avenging his clan were always his foremost concern,” Kakashi replied sadly.


“I know he was your student Kakashi-chan, just don’t blame yourself for his failure. The boy was doomed from the moment Itachi destroyed his clan and Orochimaru put that seal on him. There is just no easy way to get over something like that, losing everything you hold dear,” Tsunde counseled.


“As both of us know very well, but there is no excuse for deserting one’s village and loved ones. A shinobi who does such a thing is worse then trash. Don’t worry Tsunde-sama. I don’t blame myself. Sometimes I just mourn for a better outcome,” Kakashi said quietly.


“Well, I’d better go, my reports done and I have an important engagement planned for this evening,” Kakashi said changing the mood in the room suddenly.


“The New Icha-Icha’s out tonight?” Tsunde asked in a flat tone.


“Only for those who pre-ordered!” Kakashi replied proofing out of the room.


Tsunde sighed as she looked up at the clock it was nearly 7:00 and she still had mountains of paperwork to do, not to mention filing the Jounin report on her favorite disciple.


Kakashi poofed several blocks away from the book store and sauntered down the street excited about getting the next installment of his favorite piece of smut. His uncovered obsidian colored iris scanned lazily over the crowd until he saw a flash of pink and grey whiz past him towards a new club a block away.


“Sakura?” he thought amazed, “What was she wearing? Were those pink high heels? Man! They make her legs look-“


“Stop!” Kakashi yelled at his inner voice, “Where the hell was that going?! I really need to go get my book, it’s been too long since a new Icha came out, I am having to make up my own fantasies.”


“So you’re fantasizing about Sakura now?” Kakashi asked himself.


“Shut up or I’ll punch you in your good eye,” Kakashi thought shutting himself up.


Looking towards the bookstore Kakashi saw there was a line going around the block. Looks like I’m in for a bit of a wait before I get my new copy,” Kakashi thought abashed taking his place at the end of the line and leaning against the wall pulling his faithful old copy of Icha Icha Paradise out of his side pocket.


One hour later, new book firmly in hand Kakashi grinned excitedly a pink blush flushing his cheeks and his uncovered eye drawn in a tight line.


“Hehehe!” Kakashi giggled, “Icha Icha Battle! I don’t want to wait! I think I’ll just sit on this bench and read for a while!”


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

Ryu led Sakura out into the night, she felt a little chilly going from the heat of the club into the fresh springtime air but she clung to his arm and let him take her to his hotel. It was just one more block over from the club and it was beautiful and impressive. It stood 15 stories into the night sky, which was pretty tall for a building in Konoha. As Ryu brought her into the entryway she saw fine carpets covering a beautiful hardwood floor and many wonderful objects displayed on the walls from masterfully done kimonos to large lacquered fans and even some particularly fine weapons.


Ryu took her past all of these and escorted her into the elevator, pushing the button for the 15th floor; Ryu turned her towards him and looked intensely into her eyes. They were such a lovely shade of green he felt himself being drawn into them. Before either of them knew it he had his mouth on top of Sakura’s begging gently but insistently for entrance. Softly parting her lips Sakura felt his tongue sweep into her mouth and caress her own, sucking it gently. His hands were placed on the middle of her back and her left hip and as the kiss deepened he held her firmly against his body. Sakura never felt quite so aware of her breasts pressing against another person. Ryu’s body was tall and firm, his arms easily encircling her and making her feel close and comforted. Before she thought it was possible the elevator dinged and the doors slid open reveling an elderly couple waiting in the hallway. Flushed and embarrassed Sakura stepped quickly away from Ryu, but soon felt his hand take hers with a smile and lead her through the doors past the startled couple and down the hall.


“There is no way I’m not taking her tonight,” Ryu thought excitedly, “Oh god her body is so fantastic, even better then last year! I want her so bad I’ve got to adjust these damn pants!”


Sakura watched as Ryu slid the key into the lock on his hotel room and readjusted his clothes as he opened the door for her, she supposed she must have ruffled them during the kiss in the elevator, and let her enter first. Amazed Sakura walked slowly into the room drawn to the large window that went from floor to ceiling across the whole length of the room. The twinkling lights of Konoha spread out before her in a breathtaking display. Feeling warm arms around her, Sakura turned her head to look at Ryu.

“Thanks for showing me your room Ryu! It’s beautiful. I never knew Konoha looked so good!” Sakura said looking out again at the scenery before her.


“Nothing is as beautiful as the view in front of me,” Ryu said turning her away from the window to face him.


“Ryu-chan-“ Sakura began but was cut off as he again pressed his lips to hers and then began softly kissing her all over her face. Her cheeks, her eyelids, the bridge of her nose, and onto her ear Sakura clutched at Ryu and fluttered her eyelashes as he began to suck softly and insistently on her earlobe.


“Ryu-chan I think we’re moving a bit fast,” Sakura said breathlessly unintentionally blowing into his ear.


Sakura’s breath whispering past his ear drove Ryu wild, and he felt the stiffness in his pants worsen. Not listening he pulled Sakura closer and began sucking and biting lightly on the nape of her neck which her wonderful dress left so alluringly open due to the straps that sat on the sides of her shoulders. Biting slightly harder at the junction of her shoulders and neck, Ryu kissed her fiercely leaving a large hicky on her exposed neck.


The slight bit of pain along with the pleasure was able to jerk Sakura out of her stupor and she pushed away from him making him look her in the eye, “Really Ryu, I want to slow down.”


“Sorry Sakura,” Ryu said huskily placing a small smile on his face, “You’re just so beautiful. I’ve thought of you a lot since you left.”


“You little tease,” Ryu thought his mind sluggish with passion, “what did you expect to happen in a hotel room. You’re wearing a dress that’s designed to make men fall at your feet and now you say too fast? We’ll see, I’m gonna loosen up those prissy inhibitions a little.”


“Come sit on the couch and have a drink with me,” Ryu said gesturing towards a large comfy looking sofa sitting in the middle of the room.


“Phew,” thought Sakura, “That was getting a little hot and heavy really fast, we never went that fast before. I still feel a little tipsy from the club too.”


Walking over to the bar at one end of the room Ryu poured himself and Sakura each a glass of white wine, looking carefully over his shoulder to see what Sakura was doing and relieved that she was again looking out the window he performed some quick hand symbols over one of the glasses performing an intensification Jitsu making the wine in Sakura’s glass 10 times more potent then ordinary.


“That should be enough to loosen her up, I can tell she really wants me but she’s just too much of prude,” Ryu thought grinning as he brought the wine over to Sakura.


“We’ll go as slow as you like,” Ryu said looking into Sakura’s eyes.


“Somehow that sounded dirty,” Sakura thought feeling a bit uncomfortable, taking the wine from Ryu and taking a sip.


“This is good,” Sakura said indicating the wine.


“Drink up,” said Ryu taking a big gulp of his.


That’s not how you’re supposed to drink wine Sakura thought a little hazily but it suddenly seemed not such a bad idea and she followed his advice downing the rest of the glass in one swallow.


“Perfect,” thought Ryu seeing Sakura’s eyes begin to glaze.


“Sakura, may I kiss you again?” Ryu asked softly.


“Shure!” Sakura slurred smiling at Ryu.


God he was hot, why had she been so squeamish before.


“I love that red hair, and those eyes are so piercing! Oh yeah, and his body, he looks kinda skinny but man the muscles under those clothes, I want a closer look!” thought Sakura as she reached out and pulled his shirt out of his pants and up above his chest.


“Oh! Look at that stomach!” Sakura said loudly.


“Let me help you with that,” Ryu said pulling his shirt off totally revealing a lean and lightly muscled torso.


“I want to see more!” blurted Sakura suddenly curious to see what a naked man really looked like when he wasn’t laying dying in a hospital bed.


“Let’s go to the bedroom for that,” Ryu said softly grabbing Sakura’s hands and pulling her to the bedroom.


Ryu took her to the side of the king sized bed and sat her down on the edge. Unfastening his belt and kicking off his shoes he let his pants fall to the floor revealing evidence of his straining manhood pushing against his underwear.


“Oh,” Sakura said shocked even in her current state.


“Want to see the rest?” Ryu asked slyly.


Wide eyed Sakura began to move her head, she wasn’t sure if it was a nod or a shake but before she could find out Ryu had pushed her down on the bed, pressing his strong thigh between hers and kissing her on her face and neck.


Startled Sakura began to feel scared but she couldn’t muster any words because she also felt suddenly horny and wet. She could feel him against her thigh, hot and hard. His hands pulled the straps of her dress down exposing her breasts which he began to fondle gently holding one and kissing the other, all around the soft pale flesh and, sucking on her pert and suddenly hard nipple. Sakura had never gone this far before and she instinctively began to panic but her body just wouldn’t respond the way she wanted. Desperately trying just to think against the onslaught on her body and her sluggish mind Sakura tried to mold her chakra to analyze what was going on in her body. She sensed a large amount of an intoxicant flowing through her system. Alcohol, but she hadn’t drunk that much had she? Suddenly she couldn’t remember, the night was a blur, slowly Sakura began to use a modified version of the poison extraction technique on herself it was intensely difficult between Ryu feeling her up and her intoxicated mind, not to mention it was a tricky technique to begin with.


Lust swarmed through Ryu’s body as he licked and sucked at Sakura’s nipple, desperately, he pulled off his underwear and grabbed Sakura’s legs pulling them apart. Seeing her cute silky panties drove him wild and he pulled them off swiftly gazing intently on the beautiful sight that revealed.


Sakura wasn’t quite sure what was going on she was concentrating so hard on her Jitsu but she was relieved that for the moment Ryu’s attack on her breasts had stopped, but she had a growing uneasy feeling that this was in fact a bad thing, desperately she tried to work faster so that she could say no, tell him to get away from her, tell him this was wrong and she didn’t want this, but she just couldn’t divide her efforts that much yet and somehow she felt clearing her body of the alcohol was more important or else she might never get a chance.


Not sensing any resistance from Sakura he looked at the delicate flower between her legs. She looked wet. He smiled widely and positioned himself between her legs, placing himself at her entrance. Leaning over her with his face directly above her he closed his eyes and began kissing her as he fiercely drove his hips into hers forcing his manhood deep into her, to his surprise he felt the resistance and he smiled. He had taken the cherry from this cherry blossom.


Eyes wide but unable to scream Sakura felt an intense pain between her legs and a sudden fullness that might have felt good if it didn’t feel like she had been violated in the worst possible way. That fullness now indicated shock and fear in her, like there was a foreign invader actually attacking her from the inside. With that burst of pain she was able to take a cue from Naruto and continue on past what she thought should be her last endurance and speed the process of her poison extraction technique as she felt Ryu begin to pump rhythmically inside her kissing her neck. Clear headed enough now she acted on pure instinct and grasped his neck using her strength and chakra to simultaneously push him off and knock him out. She saw him fly back against the wall and drop to the floor unconscious. Unthinking she stood up quickly and ran out of the bedroom, out of the hotel room, pulling the straps on her dress up and pushing her skirt down. The elevator, in contrast to the ride up, seemed to take forever and upon reaching the ground floor she dashed through the hotel lobby and out into the night not caring which way she went.


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


Kakashi leaned back on the bench and stretched, had it been 3 hours already? He was half way through his book, this one was proving just as good as the rest of the installments and he thought he would go ahead and head home to finish up the rest before getting some sleep before the training session with his team in the morning. Standing up to go Kakashi suddenly recognized a familiar chakra coming towards him fast, but something about it wasn’t quite right. Instantly alert he pulled up his forehead protector covering his Sharingen and stared into the darkness. There!


“Is that Sakura?” Kakashi thought panicking a bit.


What was wrong? She seemed unfocused and desperate and that cute little dress she had been wearing looked rumpled. Looking down he found his breath intake swiftly. There was blood running down from between his little cherry blossoms legs.
