I stretched my neck as the wind broke around me, I stood inside the Leaf Village on the arena. I could see Carver and Raiden training the leaf shinobi. It was the middle of the day and I had to admit, it was nice not having to look over my shoulder for my own soldiers who wanted to kill me.
Carver turned and waved having noticed me, my lips tilted upward watching Naruto jumping up and down waving after Carver gave me away. As I moved my way to the floor where they stood, I counted the days it had been since I had seen them. Two or maybe three weeks? Time inside the waterfall village seemed to just crawl away, not wanting to be inside that hellish pit that was drenched with the thirst to kill each other.
"Hey!" Naruto beamed bouncing as he moved to reach my side,
"Hey Naruto." I nodded.
"Where have you been?" Carver asked me, granted I have been gone for a while I did still stay in touch with them, which wasn't my norm. I have learned how to respond to a text, if I didn't Naruto would give my phone a heart attack until I texted back.
"It's been busy." I sighed, my body felt stiff and my side still felt raw.
"You have been gone for like ever!" Naruto whined, "You missed the bonfire."
"I know, I tried to get here but I just couldn't." I explained.
"How?" Raiden wondered, "You're the boss-"
"Anyway-" I interrupted, "-how has things been going around here?"
"Not bad." Carver yawned, "Your pretty much looking at what we have been doing."
"Any more Reaper sightings?" I asked.
"One or two?" Carver shrugged, "Maybe they are scouting?"
"Maybe." I muttered.
"Diem tells me you took down another camp?" Carver said,
"Yeah, it wasn't that big. Dozen Reapers or so." I said,
"Hm..." Carver trailed off.
"What?" I said, "I didn't go alone."
"You didn't come get-"
"I had a unit with me." I said, "There was no reason to come get one of you."
"Mhm." Carver said inspecting me, I rolled my eyes. "What pleasure do we have for you being here?"
"I was just checking on you." I said, looking around at the leaf shinobi train.
"I find that rude." Raiden scoffed, "You never checked on us before why now-?"
"Because she wanted a reason to come see us and she can't openly admit she missed everyone here." Carver explained, I was about to shoot him a glare when I felt my phone buzzing in my pocket. I internally groaned and my face showed it.
"I see you have been burning the candle at both ends." Raiden read my face.
"Yeah well..." I sighed, "...this is why I hate phones." I said pulling it to my ear turning from the three men. It was the River Village; something was going down and they requested my presence. After hanging up the phone I turned back to the group feeling disappointed. I had just got here, and I didn't get to see--Kakashi dropped from the freaking sky landing beside me. I quickly turned to gaze at his masked face, he looked down at me with that stupid closed eye smile.
"Hello Sakura." Kakashi greeted, his voice sent shivers through my body and settled in my bones.
"Who was on the phone?" Carver asked, I quickly gave him my attention.
"The uh, the River Village." I said,
"Oh?" Raiden perked up, "What is going on over there? I miss-"
"I have to go." I didn't look at Kakashi,
"Go?" Naruto asked, "You literally just got here!" He cried.
"Yeah, something is going on over in the River Village and they want me there."
"No detail was given?" Carver asked.
"No, it wasn't William or Arabella who called me, it was their assistant so..." I licked my lips turning to get space from the four men so I could transport myself.
"Hold on!" Carver laughed, "You're going to the Waterfall Village first, right?"
"No?" Why in the hell would I do that?
"You can't go alone." Carver said, "You said you wouldn't do this shit anymore, not until that shit is out of your system. You could be walking into a trap for all we know."
"I'll be fine-" I cut myself off seeing their death glares. "I don't have time to get Tsunade's approval-"
"You won't need it." I heard her call, I looked up at the sky for a moment cursing in my head. "Take who you need." She waved.
"Yeah but we can't go-" Carver nodded to Raiden, "-we must stay here, train the leaf shinobi and ya know...protect the village." He sighed stretching; I narrowed my eyes seeing he was up to something.
"But I want-" Raiden was about to whine when Naruto elbowed him.
"Yeah and I have to finish training!" The blond smiled.
"I can go." Sasuke said walking up. Naruto, Carver and Raiden all turned at the same time glaring at him.
"I'd rather go alone and die." I muttered, turning to the last option. Kakashi smiled under his mask.
"I guess that leaves me."
"Awesome." I muttered feeling annoyed, this felt set up.
"Be careful!" Naruto yelled and waved as I walked a few feet away with Kakashi on my heel. Wind began to wrap around us, I turned to see the leaf shinobi waving goodbye and wishing us luck. I just got here, and I felt like I had gotten stuck with a babysitter, why the fuck do I come to this village?
The wind shattered around us, leaving us standing inside the River Village in front of the large castle. Workers in the garden all stopped what they were doing to look at me, there was a mix of confusion as I moved up the stairs.
"No one is panicking." Kakashi commented.
"That doesn't necessarily mean anything." I responded, I hated how delighted I felt with Kakashi standing beside me. It still felt weird with him, I wasn't sure why. If I ignored his texts or calls, he was worse than Naruto. Castle workers open two large doors leaning into the throne room where the king and queen were sitting.
"Sakura?" Arabella didn't sound relieved to see me but confused. What the hell?
"Is everything alright?" William questioned as he and his wife stood.
"I'm pretty sure that is my line?" I looked at Kakashi and then to them.
"What?" Arabella's face scrunched together; she was about as confused as I was.
"Yeah..." I said, "I got a call from your assistant, she said something was-"
"Your here!" A voice turned everyone's attention behind me, a short girl with a pixie haircut, and thick rimmed glasses came running towards us.
"Perri?" Arabella called, "What is going on?"
"We needed the Reaper your majesty." Perri bowed her head,
"That is not what was said." I called as she made her way towards me. "You said there was something going on inside this village and you needed my help."
"I am sorry!" Perri laughed, "I didn't mean to alarm you, but there is something going on we are so close to cracking the Reapers poison, but we need more of your blood."
"You could have just said that." I sighed, turning to Kakashi. "I can send you back-"
"Um-!" Arabella interrupted, "-Who is this?"
"Sorry-" I sighed; "-you remember Kakashi Hatake from the Leaf Village? He was on the team that escorted Cedany."
"Of course I remember!" Arabella smiled, she walked over and held out her hand. "Thank you so much for watching out for Cedany!" Kakashi bowed,
"It was nothing-"
"It was not nothing." William agreed, "What you had to do went far beyond what you were paid. Most people would have walked away leaving Cedany to Sakura, that tells me a lot about your character Kakashi Hatake."
"It wasn't-"
"How about I treat you to a nice dinner as a thank you?" William smiled,
"That isn't necessary-"
"It would be my pleasure!"
"As a matter of fact-" Arabella spoke up, "-Cedany should be here any second and I am sure she would like to thank you-" I quickly held out my arm to Perri.
"You said you needed my blood?" I said, Perri looked at me and nodded. "Let's go." I said quickly. William chuckled,
"Sakura?" He called,
"Yeah?" I sighed; I really didn't want to see Cedany.
"Do you mind if I borrow Kakashi while you are donating blood?" William asked, I looked at Kakashi who shrugged.
"Uh..." Did I want those three together? "That would be up to him." I said, he wasn't my soldier, I wasn't his boss.
"What do you say Kakashi? While Sakura is donating her blood can I borrow you?" William smiled, Kakashi looked from me to him.
"Of course."
"Wonderful!" Arabella clapped, "Sakura, off you go!"
"I feel unwanted." I muttered as Perri grabbed my hand and dragged me away.
I sat in the castles medical wing. My lips felt chapped as I leaned forward nausea rolled over me like a title wave. Perri was talking to a few doctors ignoring me as they held packs of paper. I agreed for them to take what they needed but I had no idea they would damn near drain me. I felt like a capri sun, I opened my eyes feeling someone taking the needle out of my arm.
"Shit." Perri muttered turning to someone, "We took too much from her."
"Ya think?" I muttered trying to stop the room from spinning as my head felt light. Where was my juice and cookie? It was like the one good thing about donating blood. I heard the doors open to the room I sat in, I leaned forward in my chair as my head hurt.
"What is taking so long?" Arabella questioned.
"I am sorry Queen Arabella." The doctor who took the needle from my arm spoke. I felt a warm hand on my face, I opened my eyes a blurry masked face was in my vision.
"How much blood did you take from her?" Kakashi asked standing beside me.
"We thought she could handle-" The doctor tried to defend their actions.
"She is still in recovery." Kakashi's voice was strong and sent thrilling chills through my body, I would need to explore those later when I didn't feel like an ice cube.
"She said take what we needed-"
"Clearly not so much she wouldn't be able to stand." William stepped in,
"I told them to take what they needed." I said, lifting myself to my feet.
"There is a limit-" Kakashi turned to me, the room shifted as I tried to move with it Kakashi caught me before falling. "-you can't recover with chakra."
"Trust me, I know." I muttered as the feeling of his hands on my body was taking up too much of my thought process.
"Sakura?" Arabella sounded troubled, "Are you ok?"
"I'll be fine." I fought a yawn, "I need to get him back to the Leaf Village before-"
"You can't walk let alone use your seals!" William said, "The last thing we need is you failing to transport yourselves and ending up stranded somewhere. You will stay here until you feel better."
"He is right." Kakashi agreed.
"Hm." Arabella said, "Half the castle is still in the process of being renovated."
"That is true." William agreed,
"I can get you to the Leaf Village." I muttered to Kakashi, the feel of his hands on my body after weeks of not seeing him...the texts and phone calls couldn't compare to the feel of him as his scent wrapped around me making it so hard for me to stay awake. I always got the best sleep when he was around.
"Oh!" Arabella said, "We will set you two up in the best hotel the River Village as to offer! Since it was our doctors' fault she is like this, it is the least we can do."
"It's the fall festival this week, would there even be any rooms available?" William muttered.
"I am sure they can find at least one, you wouldn't mind sharing right?"
"We will be fine." Kakashi's voice smiled, after some time of drifting I felt Kakashi move me. I groaned in protest earning a chuckle, I didn't want to move. My stomach hurt and felt uneasy as I pride my eyes open.
"We found a room-" Arabella spoke, but I really didn't care, I felt sick when Kakashi took steps forcing me to walk with him. Arabella and William had a taxi waiting outside for us. They said more words to me, and I nodded not soaking in their conversation, I just wanted this to be over.
I hadn't slept in days; it was one of the reasons I went to the Leaf Village. I could sleep there without having to wonder if one of my soldiers was going to burst through my window and try to kill me. I leaned against Kakashi like glue as the taxi was put into drive and glided along the paved road.
----
A shower was running, I opened my eyes and saw a darkened room. My throat was dry, I looked around and spotted a water bottle by the table beside the bed I laid on. I slowly sat up, feeling better than I did at the castle. I opened the bottle and chugged half of it. I sighed, setting it down as I fully took in my surrounding. Where was I? The bathroom door opened, Kakashi walked out wearing pants and nothing else. Where the hell was I?
"Good morning." Kakashi smiled with those full lips, the last time I seen his unmasked face my lipstick was stained on his lips. I had to admit they looked better in my shade of red. The sky outside was dying, it was not morning he was joking with me.
"Where are we?" I asked running my hands through my hair.
"A hotel."
"Hotel?" I repeated, Kakashi walked over and sat beside me. I felt an urge to lean forward and touch his bare chest at the same time I felt like moving back getting as much space between him as I could.
"You were pretty out of it." Kakashi muttered, he reached out and touched my forehead. "Queen Arabella set us up here, remember?" I vaguely recalled what he was saying.
"Right." I nodded, I felt hungry as my stomach rumble. Kakashi smiled,
"How about I feed you?" He asked standing. I hummed as I pulled the blanket off my body. I got up and stretched, I gazed out the large window at the beautiful city that was the River Village.
"It is a beautiful view." Kakashi said, I nodded in agreement turning around. I felt my heart jump as I noticed Kakashi was gazing at me. After a second, he looked away clearing his throat.
Kakashi quickly got dressed and we left the room. It was busy since the fall festival was in a few days. I had the chance to attend a few of them over the years, it was a memorable time with the right people. Kakashi and I walked to a restaurant I knew of; it was my favorite inside this village and I rarely had the chance to sit down and enjoy a meal. Kakashi and I were sat by a window, the view was of the lush beach beside the restaurant and with the sun beginning to set it was a spectacular view.
"What did you do with William and Arabella?" I wondered after ordering our meals.
"Hm?" He hummed looking from the window, I leaned back in my chair. Kakashi didn't seem very interested right now.
"When I left to donate blood?" I reminded him, "What did you do?"
"Nothing." He smiled with his one exposed eye, I sighed feeling annoyed I didn't like that answer.
"Try again." I said. Kakashi chuckled,
"Light conversation with the king and queen." Kakashi answered, "Nothing to interesting."
"Mhm." I didn't believe him; he wouldn't look me in the eye he was holding something back. We fell into an awkward silence, the server dropped off our food.
"You have been gone a while." Kakashi said out of the blue.
"Huh?" I tilted my head, I watched him grin under his mask. "So?" I muttered,
"Three weeks can be a long time." Kakashi said,
"It did not feel like three weeks." I muttered.
"What?"
"It felt like one really long day with a nap somewhere in between."
"You haven't been sleeping?" Kakashi asked causing me to laugh from deep inside my chest. "Why is that funny?" He wondered,
"It's not." I said shaking my head but continued to giggle.
"Are you sure you're feeling ok?" He reached across the table to touch my forehead; I grabbed his hand without thinking.
"I'm-" I cut myself off feeling his hand intertwined with mine, he brought our hands down to rest on the table. "I'm good." I smiled as conversation between us seem to start to flow a little more naturally.
----
I turned quickly doing a double take seeing Kakashi wasn't beside me. I looked scanning the area. Kakashi was sitting on a bench across the street, he was bent downplaying with his shoe.
"Are you doing alright?" I wondered watching him taking his shoes off.
"Of course." He glanced at me, "I'm with you." I sharpened my eyes at the compliment,
"What are you doing?" I asked,
"I thought it would be nice to walk on the beach."
"Eh?" I asked, I almost laughed. "Why?"
"Because it would be nice." Kakashi stood. "Come on." Kakashi said holding his hand out to me.
"No." I said,
"Why not?"
"Because I don't want too."
"Why?"
"Because I said no."
"Yes, but why?"
"Do you know what no means?"
"It will be fun." He repeated.
"How?"
"Because it will be."
"No." I repeated.
"Why? Five good reasons, go." He laughed at my annoyed expression.
"I don't like beaches."
"Who doesn't like beaches?" Kakashi wondered,
"Me." I said,
"I don't believe that."
"Why is that?" I asked,
"Because everyone likes beaches."
"I don't."
"I'll change your mind."
"You will not."
"How do you know?"
"Because I am smart?"
"Please Sakura" Kakashi said, my heart skipped a step. "For me?" He reached his hand out again. I took in a deep breath and let it out looking away from him for a second. That wasn't a fair move on his part.
"Fine." I stated, sitting on the bench. "I am just going to complain the entire time."
"That's fine." Kakashi said.
"You say that now." I muttered taking my shoes off. I stood and followed Kakashi as I walked onto the warm sand, I instantly hated it as memories had my muscles clenched. Kakashi and I walked through the beach, I followed him to the water as he gazed out to the horizon, I watched his masked face. He looked very peaceful right now he turned, and I quickly looked away.
"Come on." Kakashi said, he took my hand in his as we walked against the water. My heart was pounding so fast I hated it. I looked down as the water rushed past my feet, it was clear and shined against the sunset. I watched the water recede back into the ocean. "Is this so bad?" Kakashi's voice brought my attention up.
"It's terrible." I answered causing him to chuckle, I hated how that sound wrapped around me making me feel happy.
"Can you tell me why?" Kakashi asked.
"This isn't a romance novel." I muttered looking around at all the couples.
"Why can't it be?" Kakashi questioned, he has been reading to many of those books. I decided to not respond as I went back to the area around us. There was a lot of people, mainly couples who were enjoying the River Villages' year-round warm weather. "What don't you like about this moment?" Kakashi asked, I read through his voice.
"It isn't you." I said with a sigh on the tail end of my comment. I glanced behind me at the shore crashing against the sand. The feel of the grains of my feet made me cringe, I could hear echoes inside my head at Kaguya screaming at me to run faster as she runs after me with a swinging blade.
"Sakura?" Kakashi snapped me out of my thoughts.
"Kaguya." I answered, "Most of her trainings were on a beach because of the sand, it is a great workout tool." I explained.
"I see." Kakashi nodded,
"I don't know." I muttered taking in the area around us, normal people would think this was a nice way to spend your day but from my point of view it felt like a nightmare. "Maybe that's why I don't think this-" I gestured to the beach, "-is nice like you do."
"I see." Kakashi repeated he tried to mask it, but I heard his dull voice.
"Hey-" I said as I stopped walking. Kakashi still held my hand, he looked at me as he felt me stop moving. "-it really isn't you. My training with Kaguya isn't what you would call fun so being on something that reminds me of it makes me uneasy. But I am here for you, you're the only thing on this damn beach that is making this worth it."
"I think we passed a candy shop." Kakashi said.
"What?" That was random.
"How about we go buy the store out and have an undead movie marathon?" Kakashi smiled under his mask.
"Please get me off this beach." I smiled with a laugh. Kakashi tightened his grasp on my hand as we jogged through the sand. With Kakashi by my side, I didn't feel Kaguya's imprint breathing down my neck to run faster. Kakashi and I walked into a brightly colored store, bought half of their supplies and made our way back to the hotel that Arabella got for us since there was no room inside the castle for us to stay.
I plopped on the bed as I opened a candy bar as Kakashi put on the first movie. I smiled as the screen was engulfed with blood and death, I expected Kakashi to look at me like I was a little loose in the head but instead he was smiling at me.
Feeling excited to watch movies and have a night off, I turned to ask Kakashi a question but stopped he took his mask off and stripped his shirt. I blinked a few times, watching as he tossed his shirt on the sofa chair. I felt blood running to my face as quickly looked to the TV, it was hard to force my eyes to stay on the TV as if it was the freaking sun and to not look at Kakashi's exposed body.
Kakashi moved into the bed, he removed the covers and settled in beside me. My heart was hammering against my chest as I glared at the screen willing it to keep my attention on it and not the man beside me.
"Sakura-?"
"Yup?" I asked, my voice came out unnaturally high, I turned to Kakashi but instantly regretted it taking in his unmasked shirtless existence. I cleared my throat looking back to the TV.
"I asked if that is what you're going to wear?" It took me a long second to figure out what the hell he was talking about.
"Uh...yeah." I nodded. I wore my pants and long sleeve; I was under the impression the river village was in danger so packing a bag wasn't on my mind.
"Isn't that going to be uncomfortable?" Kakashi wondered,
"Mm, not really." I shrugged. "I'm used to sleeping in my gear so..."
"I see." Kakashi nodded, "You can wear my shirt if you-"
"I'm good." I said to quickly with too much emotion. Kakashi chuckled,
"Are you nervous?" He was enjoying this.
"Nope." I popped the 'p'.
"Really?" Kakashi leaned on his arm, gazing at the side of my face.
"Mhm." I hummed.
"Because you seem a little..."
"I train people for a living." I said, "I see shirtless men-" My sentence didn't get a chance to leave my mouth as Kakashi pulled me. My eyes were wide as I laid on my back and Kakashi hovered over me.
"What was that now?" Kakashi asked,
"Wha-What?" I got an eye full of Kakashi's bare chest, every urge told me to reach out and touch his toned muscles, they even said please.
"How many men have seen you like this?" Kakashi lowered moving closer to me, I bit my lip feeling so many different emotions that I wanted to play with, but I know I shouldn't. Wait a moment...did Kakashi just ask me my body count?
"Excuse me?" I found my voice.
"Hm?" He hummed as his nipped at my neck.
"Are you asking me my body count?" I scoffed, "I'm sorry, you weren't the one walking in on me fucking-"
"That-" Kakashi cut me off, moving to gaze into my eyes. "-was a mistake."
"Yeah I bet, anyone walking in on someone-"
"That isn't what I meant." Kakashi sighed, "Kurenai was a mistake."
"I don't know how you do it, but sex is like a whole bunch of steps so saying it is one mistake-"
"I know, and I am sorry-"
"Why are you apologizing?" I shrugged, "You're a grown man, if you want to sleep with-"
"Are you saying you're not bothered by me sleeping with other women?" Kakashi was surveying me.
"That is not-I don't-" I cut myself off with a huff, Kakashi laughed above me.
"I can see you and Carver are a lot alike."
"What?" Why the hell was he bringing up Carver?
"Neither of you like talking about your emotions but in reality, you two are more loving than the ones who are open."
"Er..." I was at a loss for words. Kakashi leaned down, I could feel it was meant to be a simple sweet kiss but when he placed his hand on my hip and ran his tongue over my bottom lip, that feeling just hit differently.
I leaned closer into Kakashi as I gave into those wild emotions, my hands found his bare chest. I explored every inch Kakashi's skin was so smooth. His intoxicating cologne, one that he always wore wrapped around me. It felt like the scent I had come to love so much whispered in my ear letting me know I was safe.
Kakashi dipped back down near my neck. I sucked in a quick breath feeling him suck and nip at the tender skin as my heart pounded faster and I heated up. My eyes fluttered closed as the sound of screaming zombies drowned out, all I could hear was my heart beating against my eardrums, the more Kakashi touched me the more pressure built up between my legs.
Kakashi's hand moved from my hip and under my shirt, his other hand was in my hair, gripping it tightly so I couldn't move my neck away from him. I could feel he was holding back as I felt his hot breath against my ear as he nipped on it. Kakashi kissed his way over my jaw line,
"Kakashi..." His name was so natural on my tongue.
Kakashi kissed me gently but it wasn't his gentleness that I wanted not with the fervent urgent need that was spinning around inside my head, I have never craved another person's touch like this before. I grabbed his shirt and pulled his body into mine.
Kakashi groaned low in his throat against my mouth as he pulled me against his body. My nerves were on edge, every sense I had was on overdrive as Kakashi's tongue slipped into my mouth, he was gentle but demanding.
I felt Kakashi's rough but soft hand on my bare stomach, it felt so good as I understood others when they said kissing someone felt like melting. I was unraveling before this man without even realizing it. Kakashi's kiss broke the damn sky and flipped my world upside down.
I understood those annoying couples who bragged about their relationship to their single friends, because every square inch of my body was dissolving into Kakashi. I found my fingers in his soft silver locks my heart felt like it was going to explode in my chest.
My eyes snapped open feeling Kakashi's hand on my breast, the sound of someone on the TV screen getting their organs ripped out of their body rejoined me as I came to my senses. Kakashi was still on my neck as the reality of this situation came crashing into me. Kakashi moved away from my neck as he pulled my shirt up to expose my stomach, he kissed my bare skin sending wild tremors along my nerves, evoking me from my sensations.
Kakashi's hand left my hair, sliding down my body sending shivers through me. His fingers grazed the front of my pants trying to undo them. My body returned control over to me, tapping out. I snapped up, pulling from Kakashi.
"Sakura?" He sounded very confused and a little breathless. "Are you alright?"
I licked my swollen lips as I looked away from Kakashi's confused gaze. I felt foolish, I was the Reaper of Reapers. I can take on an entire army and walk away to talk about it. I have been through hell and back. Carver, Raiden, Annora pretty much everyone I knew talked about how sex was such a great stress relief and it was beneficial in many ways, but why did this make me feel unsteady?
"I uh..." I tried to speak but words fell short.
"Sakura." Kakashi sat beside me, "Are-Are you a...have you ever been with anyone else?" He sounded so awkward; it was refreshing to see him be the one caught off guard for once. I sighed,
"No." I answered, I never had the time while most people my age experimented with others, I was thrown into a pit by Kaguya and force to fight in order to survive.
"You have never slept with anyone?" Kakashi repeated, stunned.
"Why does that seem so hard to-" I felt offended, but Kakashi cut me off by slamming his lips onto mine.
"If you're not ready..." Kakashi broke the kiss, "It's ok." Great way to make me feel like a teenager Kakashi.
"I..." By the time I became commander and had time people were too scared to get near me, I was the Reaper who the hell would want to be around her let alone sleep with it? I was fine with being alone, I was fine with not having a physical relationship with anyone until Kakashi came along and fucked everything up.
"It's ok to be nervous and a little scared." Kakashi said as he looked at me with warm eyes. He wrapped an arm around me, pulling me to lay beside him. I looked up only to get trapped in his vortex eyes. I don't know what piece of me moved and took over, but I leaned forward and kissed him. It was a soft kiss, but it still melted me. Kakashi kissed me back, his hand found the side of my face that was still a little sore from Raiden punching me. I felt my existence dissolve away from my reach.
The kiss was slow, and soon started to grow. Something was different this time, I felt more assertive as I kissed him back hungrier. Kakashi's fingers slipped under my shirt and lifted it above my head, my pants were next it was a fire sale, and everything must go. I smiled against his lips as I flipped us around, I laughed at his shocked face as I straddled him. I felt his large member poking me as I leaned down to kiss him, he reflipped us. He held my hands over my head as his eyes shined.
"Absolutely not." He growled, biting my neck causing me to laugh. "Sakura-" I looked at him, he looked unnaturally serious for a man who had a naked woman underneath him. "Are you sure about this?" He was giving me an out if I wanted one.
"Yeah." I breathed.
~~ P.O.V Change ~~
"Arabella, would you give Kakashi and I a moment alone please?" King William asked looking over his shoulder to his wife. The king and queen led Kakashi to a large library as Sakura was donating her blood.
"Um, of course?" Arabella nodded, leaving the room as William gestured to a seat across from him for Kakashi to sit. Kakashi did, looking behind him wondering why the king did not want his queen in the room.
"So Kakashi Hatake." William smiled,
"Hm?" He looked back at the king.
"I have heard quite a bit of stories about you." William said as Kakashi remained silent. WIlliam sighed getting up, walking to the side of the room and began to make two drinks. "I remember when I first met her."
"Who?" Kakashi asked,
"Commander Haruno." William said, turning to Kakashi with two thick glasses in his hand. "She was...for lack of words terrifying."
"Really?" Kakashi asked, he got the impression Sakura was close to the king and queen of the river village.
"Yes, she came to my village chasing after the Reapers. They bulldozed their way in and destroyed half the city. I was responding to the surprise attack when I first seen her; in that moment I realized she was different than most people, while everyone around us were running away she walked into the flames with a smile."
"Yes, she is fearless." Kakashi agreed.
"When she first came here, she was not Sakura to us. She was the Reaper or Commander Haruno, she was cold and distant. Unlike most leaders I had met she lived on the front lines, she didn't sit back and watch her shinobi run into battle. I didn't see her until a year later, when she was placed on the black ops team that was when she really began to open up as a person and allow others to see how amazing she is."
"Sir-" Kakashi said, "-what does all this-?"
"It took the Nine years to break through Kaguya's training. That woman held Sakura down and washed all the humanity out of her. Then the Nine began to die I knew about the members, but my wife didn't. Sakura began to revert to her old self, I don't know if it was due to the pain of losing a comrade or if it was the lack of their presence that allowed Kaguya to claw her way back into Sakura."
"You don't like Kaguya?" Kakashi figured out.
"I despise that woman." William spat, "If it wasn't for Sakura, I wouldn't have anything to do with the Waterfall Village. But despite that, Sakura showed up here with a Leaf Village team. Imagine my surprise to see her with a team from the village she hated the most, and it was the same team to had turned their back on her."
"I-"
"And here she is now, with you." William crossed his arms over his chest.
"We-" Kakashi tried to speak,
"Who is she to you?" William questioned.
"Sakura is..." Kakashi trailed off, she wasn't his student. She wasn't his teammate; they didn't even belong to the same village. Who was he to her?
"Arabella and I grew close to the Nine, especially to Sakura. We have come to adore her as one of our own, we have even tried to get her to leave the Waterfall village and live here but she turns us down every time."
"I see." Kakashi nodded, taking in this new information.
"Sakura is a talented woman, she is almost radioactive-" William chuckled, "-she is so strong for her young age and when she gets close to a person, she loves them more than she will ever get back. This is one of her greatest strengths and yet it is also her weakness-" Kakashi reached over, touching Williams hand after seeing this man was the closest thing to a father Sakura has.
"I promise I am never going to stop loving her." Kakashi said, "I will protect her with everything I have. I'm not going to turn my back on her just because she doesn't trust people easily. I know I am up for a fight because she is stubborn and I am ready because Sakura is more than worth it."
"Kakashi..." William breathed a smile onto his face, tears pricked his eyes as he nodded his head. William prayed in that moment for his other two daughters to find good men like this one sitting across from him. "...you'll take care of her?"
"Until my last breath."
