A Time and a Place for Everything

Oh.. wow... this took longer than I expected. I didn't expect to have writers block for that long. Heh, I'm sorry to keep you all waiting.

I know before I said I was going to explain why they got their asses beat in the last chapter, but... well, I got caught up in the moment of this chapter and the explanation will be added next chapter.

Disclaimers: Juni and the caravan workers and non-canon names/places still belong to me. Everyone else belongs to Kishimoto-san.

Chapter 4


Kakashi caught Juni’s falling body before she could hit the ground. He winced in pain from the injury in his shoulder as it was pulled when he caught her. Carefully, the jounin carried the petite form to the wagon to lay her down on her stomach so as not to rest her in the dirt. He then slowly climbed into the wagon to begin his challenge of saving his partner’s life.

Once he was on the wagon, he finally got a good look of her injuries. He winced when he saw her back. Her sea foam green tunic was torn from her left shoulder to her right hip. Her obi was spilt as well, only staying on from the straps of the tunic holding it up. But the tear wasn’t what made him wince. No, it was the blood already soaked into a large area of the material.

Cursing mentally, he checked to make sure she was still alive. There was a pulse, but it was very faint. Sighing with relief, he went about removing what he could of the tunic to get a better look at what he was dealing with. Carefully, he pulled the light wool fabric from her flushed flesh, shaking his head.

Though he knew many healing jutsus, Kakashi was not a highly trained medic nin. He knew how to close up wounds, but, he wasn’t sure how he would do when he was injured himself. Focusing in on the task at hand, Kakashi did what he could to close the wound across her back.

He closed his eyes, focusing on moving his chakra to his hands as he formed the hand seals with a nervous ease. The caravan members stared in awe as his hands started to glow a faint green. When he finally opened his eyes again, he moved his hands slowly across her wound. Juni’s body twitched, even as she stayed unconscious.

“Stay with me,” he murmured softly as he focused on healing the massive wound. “Don’t die on me, you’re a strong girl.” He continued to mutter soft things to her still body as he continued to heal her.

Kakashi let out a sigh of relief once he got the wound closed. There was a small indication of a scar tracing down her back. He trailed his fingers along it, making sure he had the wound closed. His fingers tingled as he moved her body to turn her over. He winced, the movement hurting his shoulder. He hated seeing her like this, with her face pale as it was. He paused a moment to look at her face, cupping her cheek with his bare hand.

This was why having a relationship with a partner was so hard. There were always distractions that can lead to things like this. Kakashi sighed quietly as he brushed the hair from her face. She’d be alright, he was sure of it. Setting her down again, he moved to heal the gash across her collarbone. This one didn’t take much chakra, but it still left him light headed after he had finished.

Once he was sure she was completely healed of her wounds, he tugged out the blanket from her bag, draping it over her form. He then sat down on the wagon, resting a hand on his shoulder.

“Here, we should help you,” one of the men said, reaching out to help wrap his shoulder.

“I’ll be alright,” Kakashi assured, holding his hand up. Once more, he focused his chakra into his hand and trailed his fingers across the stab wound. He felt the wound close, but was sure that it wasn’t fully healed. He groaned quietly, feeling even dizzier than before, knowing he had overdid it when he had healed Juni. “But, you can help with something.” A few men perked up. “Take those two bodies,” he pointed to the dead rogue ninja on the ground. “And the two about a quarter of a mile from where we came. Gather them together, and hide them. If you have to, burn them. Just get rid of them. If you don’t, there will be others who will find them. Others we might not want to deal with. And, if they’re found, those others might come and hunt us down.” He lifted a hand to his head, trying to shake off the dizziness.

“Rest, Hatake,” the caravan leader said to him, resting his hand on the ninja’s shoulder. “We’ll take care of everything, don’t you worry.”

All Kakashi could do was nod to the man before laying back into the wagon. It didn’t take long for darkness to overcome him, tugging him into a regenerating rest.


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


It was deep in the evening when Kakashi woke again. He stretched and instantly regretted it, as a sharp pain jolted through his arm. He knew he’d have to get it checked once they arrived to Fuzinate. Turning, he looked to the still form of his partner and winced. How could he have let her get hurt?

“Hatake, I see you’re awake.”

Kakashi glanced to the side, seeing the caravan leader walking along beside the wagon. He gave a short nod to the man, and then looked back to Juni, touching her cheek.

“She hasn’t stirred yet. We’ve been keeping an eye out for the both of you.” Kakashi nodded again.

“I see… and the bodies?” Kakashi asks.

“We did as you instructed. Burned and buried.”

“I see. Thank you.” He nodded once again. “How far are we to the docks?”

“We should arrive there tomorrow afternoon. There is a town between there that we plan to stay the night at. If that’s not too much trouble?”

“Not at all. It would be wise to rest up and wash up. Juni would appreciate fresh clothes once she’s awake again.”

The leader then nodded, patting Kakashi’s shoulder gently. He gave signal to the others that they would be stopping as planned. Kakashi sighed and once again looked to Juni, reaching to touch her hand, wrapping his fingers around hers.

“Wake up soon, please,” he whispered.


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


It was in the middle of the night when Juni finally woke. She jerked awake with a startled cry, followed by a whimper, and a moan of pain. She shook on the bed she was laying on, drawing up into a slight ball.

Kakashi heard the movement and sounds coming from her as he stirred from his light sleep. Instantly, he moved from his futon and moved to her on the bed, where he then drew her into his arms and held onto her quaking form.

“Shh… it’s alright. I’m right here,” he cooed to her comfortingly. His hand moved through slightly matted, but clean, green hair, stroking the strands from her face. “It’s alright. You’re okay.”

“Ka…shi?” She murmured softly. Magenta eyes opened slowly, looking up at the man holding her. Her hand moved along the tight, black shirt that he wore, her fingers curling into the fabric. He was warm holding onto her the way that he did. She then let out another whimper, burying her face against his chest. She continued to shake, even as his hand rubbed her back, trying to calm her. “They knew who we were… didn’t they?” She asks in a small voice. “They knew we were shinobi.”

“Yes,” he answered, just as quietly. “They did know. How they found us, I do not know.” His hand continued to rub Juni’s tense body, hoping to soothe her. He then shifted, pulling her closer. This wasn’t like him. He definitely did not hug or comfort anyone like this. He couldn’t even remember the last time he had been this scared for a comrade. “I’m so glad you’re awake…” he whispered against her, holding her tight.

“What…?” She asked quietly. ‘Glad I’m awake…?’ She frowned, pushing back to look at him. His eyes were closed. His hitai-ite gone, revealing the scar along the left side of his face even more. “Kakashi…?” She reached up, gently touching his masked cheek. His eyes opened then. She gasped softly. His normal eye was lined with faint traces of pink, as if he’d been crying before. His sharingan spun slowly, catching her gaze. She found that she couldn’t look away.

Once he had her in his gaze, he fed her thoughts with his memories, the blood, the chakra use, and the hours of praying for her to wake up. He also showed her the times where her body shook in her unconscious state, convulsing on both the wagon as well as on the bed she currently resided on. He showed her every lasting moment up until she woke up before releasing her from his gaze and shutting his eye.

Released, she stared at him in disbelief. Her hand shook as she touched his cheek again. He had been worried, she knew. He was worried he was going to lose her. ‘Oh God…’ she thought. Her body moved before she could stop herself, her arms wrapping around his neck as she pressed herself close to him, hugging him tightly. Her body shook again. One hand moved through the silvery locks at the back of his head, the other ran along his shoulders.

“I’m sorry,” she whispered, holding him. “I’m so sorry…” Her eyes closed then, tears falling down her cheeks, collecting on the neck of his shirt and mask. Her lips brushed along his masked neck, pressing soft, apologetic kisses to him. His arms snaked around her waist, holding onto her. His dark eye closed as he pressed soft kisses to her bare shoulder, feeling the goose bumps form along her seemingly sensitive skin. His hand gently rubbed the small of her back, feeling the shiver run down her spine.

She pulled back slowly. Her hand lifted as she tugged the mask from his face without asking. He didn’t even care at that moment. Once the mask had freed his face, he completed the action, closing his mouth over hers. Sparks flashed behind their eyelids at the intensity of the kiss. Kakashi lifted his hands, burying them in the emerald locks. Juni drew her fingers along the scar along his cheek before once again finding its way into his silver hair. He purred in appreciation, smiling against her. Lips parted on both parties, tongues touching shyly at first. They both let out soft, airy laughs before falling into the deep kiss. Teeth touched just slightly before he took Juni’s bottom lip into his mouth, giving it a gentle suck and a playful nip. Once he let the captive lip free, it was then a battle for dominance in their kiss, their tongues trying to hold the other down. Juni won the battle, taking the time to explore every inch of his mouth before letting him do the same to her.

They broke away for air a moment later, panting softly. Magenta had darkened to almost red as the moments rushed through her veins. Her heart was pounding hard in her chest; his doing the same. Without even thinking, her fingers tugged the edge of his shirt from the baggy sweats he wore. She pushed the material up his toned chest, intent on getting it off of him. He helped, lifting his arms, letting her remove his shirt. He smiled at her, dipping his head to kiss her jaw. She purred happily, tilting her head for him. His mouth found her pulse along her neck. Her eyes rolled back and closed as she bit back a moan as his teeth worried the flesh of her neck, then sucked gently before licking the spot he had claimed. The flesh reddened just slightly, making him smirk. He licked along her jaw, gently nipped here and there as his hands and fingers nimbly worked at unbuttoning the blouse he had put her in after he had bathed her clean. Once the last button was undone, he pushed the material down her arms, and then tossed it carelessly to the side.

She grinned at him then, leaning back on her elbows. She looked up at him, catching that glint in his eye as he moved to arch over her. He hadn’t bothered with the bindings, not sure if she would have preferred sleeping in them or not. His head dipped, mouth closing over a hardening nipple. He lifted his dark eye to watch her expression. Her eyes were half closed as she took in a breath and arched her back. She let out a quiet moan as well, a hand lifting to run through his hair. He smiled against her then, rolling the pert nub between his teeth with his tongue. This brought out another moan and another arch of her back. His hand came up just as he let the nipple go as he moved to the other side to give that nipple the same treatment. His hand gave the previous one a gentle rub, rolling her breast around in his hand.

Slowly, he made his way down her body, pressing kisses along taut muscles in his journey. She let out soft sounds at his actions, her eyes opening to look down at him, watching. Juni grinned as he kissed above her navel, and then playfully dipped the tip of his tongue in. He looked up at her then and smirked, wiggling his eyebrows as well.

He moved lower, his breath brushing along her still covered womanhood, which seemed to pulse when it felt that gust of warmth. He nuzzled her thigh lightly, pressing kisses there as well. Very carefully, he hooked his thumbs into the band of the boy shorts and slid them down her creamy thighs and past her knees. He unhooked them from her ankles and dropped them to the side where her discarded shirt lay. Looking up at her, he watched her expressions as he lifted a leg, trailing kisses up the calf and thigh before draping it over his shoulder. The other leg, he gently nudged apart a bit more, exposing her core to him. There was little hair, much to his liking. Shaven, he noted, and kept tidy. He smiled softly then, looking up to her face once again. She bit her lip, a blush on her cheeks.

“Very nice,” he cooed, earning a grin from her, the blush staying on her cheeks.

He moved his hand along her thigh, pulling a whimper from her as he teasingly avoided the heat he could feel radiating from her. Carefully, he slid his hand along her, the tips of his fingers lightly brushing along the slit. She whimpered again, lifting her hips impatiently. Two fingers brushed harder, slipping into the folds, earning a sigh. He pressed the two into the heat, sliding in to the middle knuckle. She gasped softly, back arching again. His thumb found her clit and worked against it. She moaned. Her fingers curled into the bed’s sheets as he did it again, this time sliding the fingers inside of her even deeper.

“Ahh… Kakashi…” she groaned, her head falling back.

Kakashi smirked slowly as he continued to work his fingers within her, scissoring them apart, stretching her delicately. He knew she was no virgin, but, he didn’t know when her last time had been, not that he wanted to find out. But, he did want to make sure he wasn’t going to hurt her. A third finger slid into the moist cavern, working with the first two. Her juices coated his three fingers as well as the inside of his palm. He dipped his head, licking the pearly fluid from his palm and purred. There was no way to describe her taste. His tongue replaced his thumb, licking the puckered bud that had responded to his touches.

She moaned more, a hand finding his hair and curled into his locks. He listened to her breathing as it quickened. He felt her back arch and heard the quiet cries as her first orgasm of the night. He licked up what he could from her quivering form as well as from his fingers as he pulled them from her. She let out a soft whimper at the loss.

Slowly, she sat up, her hair disheveled from the writhing on the bed. Her body still pulsed and quivered. Kakashi stood slowly, his knees popping as he did so. With a smile, Juni slid to the edge of the bed, her legs partially open with him standing between them. She looked up at him and his half clothed self. She noticed the bulge in his pants and brought a hand up, running it along his hidden member.

Without wasting too much time, her fingers hooked in both bands of the sweats and his boxers and tugged them down his toned legs. Once past his hips, his erection sprang free. Kakashi let out a sigh of relief as the pressure had been removed. Juni let go of the clothing once it past his knees. Gravity helped her, tugging the clothing to the floor where Kakashi stepped out of them and kicked them to the side. His open eye looked down at her sitting there. She looked back up at him and smiled wickedly.

A hand closed around the base of his cock and massaged gently. She dipped her head and licked along the visible vein all the way to the leaking head where she licked away the pre-cum that had formed. Kakashi bit back a moan and resisted the urge to thrust forward. That pink tongue flicked across his head again before her mouth opened and took him in. He hissed in pleasure, feeling his knees weaken. ‘Where did she learn this…?’ he wondered. He lifted a hand then, gently burying it into her hair as she took more into her mouth.

She started a pace, bobbing her head and sucking on him while her hand gave gentle and firm squeezes to the base. He groaned, his head falling back every few moments. He still fought the urge to thrust into that hot canal of her mouth, but knew better than that. Juni continued to stroke and suck him, her other hand coming underneath, giving his sack a gentle squeeze, rolling it around in her hand. He moaned again.

Though, he let out a groan when he felt her pulling away. His cock left her mouth with a wet pop. She smirked up at him as she crawled back onto the bed and away from him. He looked at her dumbfounded, as well as a bit of shock in his expression. Rational thought finally caught up to him, his mind running thoughts through his head that he hadn’t been thinking up until that point. This was Juni. Long time partner and friend. This is Juni, naked Juni, on a hotel bed, aroused. Part of him wanted to run away, his mind telling him this shouldn’t have gone as far as it had. They had both given each other oral pleasure, which had to have been enough, right?

“Kakashi…” her voice was soft, dipped in arousal. She looked at him, those magenta hues pulling him in. She smiled at him, that pure, sweet, innocent smile. She lifted a hand and moved one finger, motioning him to come to her. And like a love struck teenager, he obeyed, crawling onto the bed and making his way closer to her. Once he got close enough, she lifted up to kiss him, purring softly into their kiss as she could taste herself on his lips. She smiled, lightly nipping his bottom lip. “Take me,” she whispered against him. She lifted a leg around his waist, lifting her hips just slightly. She could feel him brush against her womanhood. A shiver ran down her spine. “Complete me. Please…”

“Juni…” he whispered softly, lowering his head. He kissed her neck as a hand slid under her waist, lifting her up. He ran the tip of his manhood along her opening, lifting his eye to her face. There was a soft blush on her cheeks as her eyes met his. There was a soft nod of affirmation. She was sure.

“’Kashi… make love to me…” she gasped at the last word uttered as he plunged into her heated depths.

Her eyes rolled back again as her head tilted back into the pillows. Her arms circled his neck again as her other leg joined the first around his waist. Juni moaned quietly holding onto him as he thrust shallowly at first, letting her get adjusted to his size. She whimpered softly, a slight sting in their joining, but it felt so good. When she felt ready, she pressed her hips up to his, pushing him slightly deeper, earning a gasp and moan from the both of them.

He rolled his hips then, thrusting against her slow and deep at first, pulling nearly all the way out before slamming back in again. She groaned with each thrust, digging her nails into his back. He hissed at the pleasured pain, his thrusts quickening. One arm held onto her as he thrust into her, the other held himself up to keep from falling onto her.

“Harder…” she gasped, clinging to him. He obeyed; pushing in harder and deeper, bringing out more moans and groans from her. He continued to thrust into her, feeling her muscles contract around him. He felt her let go inside as she cried out her second release. His thrusts slowed, ever so slightly, he himself was not there yet. He was close.

He moved, pulling from her gently. She whimpered again, her eyes looking up at him. He smiled at her, leaning, kissing her gently. She responded back, purring softly.

“I’m not done yet,” he purred against her. She let out a soft gasp as he gently flipped her onto her belly. He grinned, nipping a shoulder then.

He lifted her hips, having her knees bent. Grabbing a pillow, he slid it under her raised body. Kakashi slid behind her and nudged her legs apart. She moaned softly, moving for him. She let out another gasp and moan as he slid back into her, though, this angle made her tighter. He himself groaned, having to steady himself a moment. He ran a hand down her back gently, the other holding her hip. He moved his hips again, thrusting slowly against her at first, getting her used to this angle.

Juni groaned again. Her hands dug into the bed sheets again. She turned her head into the pillows, looking back at him some as he thrust into her over and over again. He picked up his pace, grunting softly. The sound of flesh hitting flesh imprinting itself into his brain, as well as her pleasured moans and groans. He ran his hands along her again, rubbing along the light layer of sweat their body heat had made together.

He rolled his hips in his thrusts then, making her cry out again. She gripped a pillow under her, biting down onto it to keep from screaming too loud. His touches, his very movements were driving her closer and closer to another orgasm. He could feel it, feel her muscles beginning to tighten around him again.

Kakashi brought her up, sitting back on his legs. His arms wrapped around her, holding her back to his chest as he thrust up into her, going even deeper than before. She whimpered, an arm clutching his head as he kissed and bit her neck lovingly.

“Juni…” he gasped between thrusts. “Come with me Juni…” He grit his teeth then, feeling so very close.

“Ahh…! ‘Kashi…!” She gasped.

Her muscles clamped down on him then, her senses flooding as her third orgasm hit, whiting out her vision for the moment. Kakashi cried out softly, biting her shoulder to keep from yelling out. He slammed up a final time as he came, his seed filling her womb. She felt his member pulsing inside, spilling spurts of semen into her.

Her body rode out the release as she slumped there in his arms. Both their bodies shook in the aftermath of their actions. Juni moaned softly in appreciation, letting out a soft chuckle. She lifted and turned her head, pressing a kiss to his cheek. Kakashi smiled, nuzzling against her and kissing the outside of her mouth. He moved then, slowly pulling from her, the motion making a small suction sound, resulting a groan from the both of them. They both then collapsed onto the bed, laughing softly at each other’s lack of muscle strength. Even their bones felt like liquid.

Juni moved closer to Kakashi, draping a leg over his partially as well as draping her arm over his abdomen. She rested her head on his chest, listening to the slowing of his heart beat. Kakashi ran his fingers through her sweat wetted hair lazily.

“You’re glowing,” he mused, looking down at her. He smiled. “I like that look on you.” She chuckled softly, hugging his body then. “I happen to like that disheveled look you’ve got sporting as well.” His fingers stroked again.

She didn’t know what to say. She stayed quiet a moment, just taking in what they had done. Then, she lifted her arms and pinched herself.

“Ahh… ow,” she muttered.

“Why’d you do that for?” he asks, amused.

“To make sure I’m not dreaming,” she answered, looking up at him, and then going back to her relaxed state. “I didn’t want this to be all a dream.” She sighed softly, relaxing even more. Once again, Kakashi had his fingers threading through her hair. “Kakashi…?” she asks softly.

“Hmm?” His gaze looked down at her head as she rested there. She then moved, pushing herself up onto her arms, looking up at his face. She then smiled at him, running a hand down his chest gently, her fingers tracing along a few of the scars there.

“I love you.” Her voice was small, almost as if she were afraid to speak those words, afraid of how he would respond.

He stared at her for a moment, taking in those three words. He watched the look in her eyes as they softened. He watched as her gaze dropped to her hand on his chest. He then lifted his hand to her chin, lifting her head. He leaned, pressing a kiss to her lips; a soft, loving kiss.

“I love you too,” he rumbled against her. “Always have… and I always will.” He then smiled against her lips and kissed her again. She giggled softly against him as he rolled them, playfully pinning her to the bed, arched over her. He gave her a devilish grin as he playfully ground against her, pulling a soft groan from her. “You know what would be good right now?” He asked her, a glint in his eye.

“Hmm…? What’s that?”

“A nice,” he ground against her again, “hot,” another grind, “shower.” And with that, he removed himself off of her and made his way, stumbling ever so slightly, towards the bathroom. Juni laughed softly before picking herself up, her legs still feeling a bit like jelly, and moved to follow him. It was only the beginning of a very eventful night.
