"What am I going to do with you?"

A malicious smile danced on her lips.

"Maybe punish me?"

Kakashi's lips involuntarily stretched into a lazy smile as memories of one evening three years ago flashed in his head, and when their eyes met, he knew that she, too, thought back to that day.

~ * ~

Sakura dug her feet into the ground with all her might, trying to somehow hold back the inevitable. However, after fighting for the jōnin title almost all day, her chakra levels dropped drastically, so she was rather easy prey to two boys who were only half a head taller than she was.

"Let me go!" she growled in an attempt to break free from their firm embrace.

"Relax, Sakura-chan," Naruto interjected, giving her that typical smile he had clearly inherited from his father.

"We have to celebrate your triumph," Sasuke added.

"Oh yeah, dattebayo!"

They both held her between them, hands tightly clasped on her forearms.

"But I don't want to!"

It was nice to see all three of them walking the streets of Konoha again, arguing and joking together, but Sakura was concerned about her dignity, especially as she had a rather weak head for alcohol, just like her mentor, Tsunade. And if she was to put herself in the hands of Naruto and Sasuke after intoxication, she could certainly start to worry about where she would end up, knowing exactly how much these two with as good humour as today could bolt down sake's cups into each other.

They dragged her to one of the less popular, infamous bar where the worst of the worsts usually hang out. And what was her amazement when, once again struggling in the firm embrace of her friends and yelling for them to let go, she met the gaze of their team captain sitting at the very entrance.

"Yamato-taichō?" Naruto was surprised.

The man sighed in resignation, putting his hand to his forehead. He probably wasn't expecting his teammates here.

"What are you guys doing?" he hissed at them when he noticed that Sakura was dragged here by force.

"We came to celebrate Sakura's success, dattebayo!"

"Why, if she obviously doesn't want it?"

"Because it's a tradition, dattebayo! We drank for Sai's success, mine, and now Sakura has joined this group!" the seventeen-year-old explained.

"Do you want to force her to get drunk?" the captain was surprised once more.

Sakura tried her luck again and tugged harder to break free from their grip when suddenly Sai materialized in front of all three of them, as if out of nowhere. Always eager to help Naruto.

"I'll help you," he announced, and breezily grabbed her by the legs.

"Sai, no!" Sakura tried to protest, but he had already picked her up and completely accidentally parted her legs, which made her skirt go up, showing a sophisticated underwear of the young kunoichi to everyone in the bar.

The men looked at her selection of underpants with curious glances. Sakura, on the other hand, frowned, Naruto yelled at the freshest member of the team to put her on the ground, Sai began to defend himself with the fact that he didn't know that this time she didn't wear her leggings, Sasuke admired the views, and Yamato stood up with his threatening and scary face.

Immediately Haruno was on the ground, and Sasuke, Naruto and Sai jumped away from her and, before being scolded by their new captain for good, Sakura went deeper into the bar, ignoring immoral offers and whistling thrown at her. She knew everyone was watching as she slowly walked over to the bar and sat down on a stool, glancing at the bartender who gave her a sympathetic look.

"The strongest drink, please," she said to the woman behind the counter. "And if there's no such, then with double amount of alcohol," she added.

She rested her hands on the table top and felt like slouching herself to somehow escape the curious glances thrown at her after her big entrance, when the bloodcurdling voice of their commander rumbled behind her. Sakura involuntarily slumped over and longed for the times when Kakashi commanded them.

And as soon as his name flashed through her mind, she felt a strange prickle, and her skin began to tingle under someone's intense gaze. She might have guessed it could have been anyone, because thanks to Sai, the whole bar was currently watching her, but she sensed where this intense observation was coming from.

With an extraordinary courage, swallowing her pride, she glanced to the side, her eyes met those dark ones.

At first, she almost didn't recognize him, after all, about six months had passed since Hatake Kakashi decided to hand over team seven to Yamato, without giving any specific reason. And probably, if it hadn't been for the familiar mask, now a bit too messily hanging from the tip of his nose, as well as the familiar scar on his exposed eye, Sakura probably wouldn't have recognized him. His hair was shorter now and his forehead protector was much higher because he no longer needed to cover his sharingan.

But it wasn't his altered face that was the problem, it was the way he sat and the way he looked at her. There was something intimate in the way he was looking at her, and Sakura involuntarily clenched her hands tighter, holding his gaze. He sat sprawled on the chair as if it were his property, in fact it looked as if the whole world had fallen at his feet. His left hand dangled limply over the backrest, and his right hand was holding a sake cup, rested on the table.

Sakura's mouth was dry as he twirled the small cup and reached for the mask with his free hand to drink. A quick glance at the rest of the people in the bar told her that no one but absolutely no one was paying attention to him, and her friends were still scolded by the captain. The barmaid, on the other hand, was just dropping crushed ice into a tall glass. That's why when Haruno looked back at Hatake, she felt her heart pounding in her chest. It was like a show for her eyes only. Sakura clenched her fists so tightly that her knuckles turned white as Kakashi slowly, unhurriedly pulled down his mask. The moment seemed to go on forever, but when his delicate, straight nose appeared to her eyes, she swallowed loudly out of impression.

The material slid lower and lower, just above his lips, still shrouded in mystery. This moment seemed magical, her gaze pinned to his face, examining features she had never known before. She was enchanted by him and Kakashi was already lifting the cup to his still covered mouth, to at the last moment slide down the last masked section with a quick move, when someone blocked Sakura's view.

The young kunoichi blinked as if she had just woken up. And when she looked ahead, she noticed the drink was ready and she immediately clung to it.

What just happened?

She dared to glance once more at Hatake, but this time she found nothing new, for a woman standing in front of him completely blocked her view.

"Kuso," she cursed under her breath, taking the straw in her mouth again and sipping her drink.

She was so close to discovering what even team seven hadn't yet achieved. She clenched her hand tighter on the bottom of her glass and once again dared to glance at Kakashi, who had already returned to his previous position with the mask back in place, her left hand dangling limply over the back of the chair, and her right hand clasped on the empty cup. Only this time, the woman standing in front of him was bending down. She put her hands on his thighs and whispered something in his ear, arching alluringly.

With one harder heartbeat, Sakura realized that on the table where her former teacher was sitting was a sake pot and two cups. With another heartbeat, Haruno noticed that Kakashi didn't focus too much on his companion, because his eyes were still staring at her, sitting at the bar and sipping her drink.

A shiver ran through her body and in the blink of an eye she looked away from Hatake.

She hadn't even noticed when her companions, who were responsible for bringing her here in the first place, had also approached the counter.

"Geez, Yamato can give a rough ride, dattebayo, " Naruto groaned.

"He's too tensed about everything. Kakashi was so much better for he didn't care what we were doing outside the missions," said Sasuke, who took his place on the left side of the pink-haired kunoichi, while Naruto was on her right.

They cornered her again.

"Where's Sai?" Sakura asked, trying to run away from what she had witnessed a moment ago, though she still had goose bumps from the look that Hatake was giving her.

"Still catching hell from Yamato."

"Ouch," Sakura said, and despite everything, she decided to refer to the case of their former captain. "Speaking of Kakashi... he's here."

"What?! Where?!" Naruto exclaimed, and Sakura hit him in the head.

"Shut up!" she hissed. "Couldn't you be more discreet? You're a ninja after all!"

Naruto massaged his sore head, muttering something under his breath.

"Right there. And besides he's not alone, so please..." she didn't have time to finish, because Naruto was already leaning back on the bar stool and openly looking around the place.

"Where, dattebayo? I can't see him anywhere!"

Sakura gently facepalmed.

"Usuratonkachi is right, he's not there."

"What?" Sakura was surprised and she immediately turned in the direction from where her skin tingled recently from intense gazing. "Indeed... they're gone."

Haruno didn't know what this feeling was currently swirling inside her, but she couldn't ignore it.

"Where did they go?" she wondered aloud as she sipped her drink.

Sasuke cleared his throat, moving his own sake cup as Naruto ordered and handed it to his friend.

"You won't like it," Uchiha muttered.

Both Sakura and Naruto turned their gaze to him.

"I just noticed a familiar figure with grey hair disappearing into the men's room."

Naruto scratched his head.

"What?"

Sakura fought the temptation to hit him on the head again and only sighed resigned at his lack of knowledge in these topics.

"It's strange that you were Jiraiya's student," she said, but Naruto still didn't get it.

Sakura exchanged meaningful looks with Sasuke and they both laughed when their friend began to look too obsessively at the door leading to the men's toilet.

After a while, Sai joined them and also began to whine about Yamato's nit-picking. Fortunately, their current captain left the bar after reprimanding his subordinates, finally stressing how embarrassing they were for him. The four fell into a conversation about what Sakura had witnessed. Of course, the young kunoichi omitted the topic of Kakashi's interest in watching her, and the fact that he was removing the mask especially for her, and she only hinted that the woman he was with saw him without it. They made a pact again, and in fact Sakura forced them to discover what Kakashi hides behind that mask.

And just as they discussed the details, Naruto almost screamed, which is why Sakura closed his mouth with a lightning speed before he slipped out something that would certainly be out of place and attract the attention of all the guests in the bar.

Sakura, however, followed her friend's gaze, just like the other members of team seven, to see a beautiful blonde coming out of the men's toilet. She had perfect makeup and her hair wasn't as messy as it had been a moment before. Whereas Kakashi adjusted the buttoning of his pants as he left. Sakura felt the blushes on her cheeks, so she quickly looked at her unfinished drink. And so do the rest of her team. Nobody wanted to be caught peeping.

However, when Kakashi passed them by the bar, he greeted them with his famous, "Yo."

And for effect, he raised his hand, but when everyone looked at him with red faces, and Naruto was still with Sakura's hand on his lips, they only muttered a sluggish greeting before turning and looking at each other. Sakura finally took her hand away from her friend's face, and he sighed.

"Why did that woman leave the men's room in front of Kakashi, dattebayo?"

Sakura, Sasuke and Sai facepalmed. There was no point in explaining it to him, since even two years under Jiraiya's supervision didn't help him understand certain issues.

And when the next day Sakura showed up at the training field at the appointed time, she couldn't help but kick one of the stakes at the other end of the field to the tree line in annoyance when her companions didn't show up. Probably it had something to do with the fact that they had definitely drunk way too much yesterday in an attempt to erase unwanted images from their memories.

"I'll take off this mask from him, even if I had to do it myself," she said, determined and decided to return to the village.

She didn't know, however, that she had company on the training field, and someone heard her every word very clearly, resting lazily on a tree branch nearby.

Soon after, Sakura was assigned to a one-on-one mission with Kakashi and was already rubbing her hands to get to his mask. But she had no idea that Hatake himself had advised the dear Fifth to give him a medical kunoichi, this particular one.

~ * ~

Suddenly, Kakashi pulled her to him, and Sakura made a soft noise as he took her by surprise. His hand pressed against one cheek and his lips moved dangerously close to the other.

"Perhaps punishing you will be something you will remember for a long time," he whispered in that low voice that Sakura always got goosebumps from.

His lips slipped from her cheek to the hollow of her neck, and when he pressed on her buttocks with his erection, Haruno whined for more.

"Oh yes, please," she gasped as he pressed her legs against the desk, and she could only think about how hard he was at that moment.

"And I hope it doesn't happen again," he added, mouth to her ear, nibbling at her petal as his hot breath tickled her neck.

She could feel goosebumps all over her body, and a thrill of excitement ran through her back at what Hatake was about to do with her. Sakura reached back to thread her fingers into his hair as his full lips made a trail from her jawline to her shoulder.

"So rude," he muttered, returning his mouth to the crease of her neck and she moaned. "So unruly... stubborn and disobedient..."

Kakashi pushed her to the desk, placing his hand on her back and keeping her still on the desk.

"Two years together and you still don't trust me."

He rolled her skirt up and pulled down her leggings and panties.

"Who do you think I am?"

He unbuttoned his belt, then in one efficient movement pull it out of his pants, which slipped a little, revealing a part of his abdomen.

"For my man?" Sakura interjected, bringing a smile to his face as he folded the belt in half before he swung to hit her bare buttocks.

"Since I am yours, I am faithful to you."

Another lash.

Sakura let out a little moan. She didn't know why, but Kakashi in this edition seemed even more appealing to her.

"Then don't let them stare at you as if you were standing naked in front of them!" she cut herself off.

Another hit, this time a little more searing.

"What do I do, blindfold them? I already wear a mask."

And once more.

"They all saw what you were hiding under it...!"

This time Kakashi lashed harder, and when Sakura let out a soft scream, he threw the belt back and replaced it with his hand. It was much worse. Hatake had a searing hand.

"I can't do anything about it."

"I know."

"You can only enjoy the thought that I don't look at any of them the way I look at you."

The first slap came, and Sakura hissed in pain.

"You're the only one who brings me to this state," he sighed, pressing his erection against her bare buttocks.

Another slap landed on her ass, making Sakura gritted her teeth with pain, clenching her hands on the edge of the desk. She accidentally nudged a pile of papers that got mixed up on the desk with her elbow.

"Ah, and I just put them in order," Kakashi muttered dissatisfied and this time he aimed a fierce slap on her buttock, Sakura hissed in pain. "Then you'll have to help me sort them out..."

"Stop talking!" she drawled through clenched teeth.

"I love it when you get angry," he muttered suddenly, his mouth to her ear, his hips pressing against her.

Sakura, under the influence of his hardness, whimpered again. But she immediately plunged the heel of her shoe into the middle of the foot of the man behind her, who groaned in a pained voice.

"No talks!" Sakura said with emphasis.

And when Sakura was already thinking that she had achieved her intended goal and Kakashi would finish playing with her, there was a knock on the door and a voice on the other side, "Hokage-sama?"

Shit.

Kakashi cursed softly under his breath, straightening up and looking at Sakura in front of him, who quickly began to pull up her panties, but he blocked her way and refused to let her be covered, slipping his index finger between the petals of her centre, aiming exactly at the right point to bring out of her mouth softly moans.

"Yes?"

"Team ten has arrived to report on a reconnaissance mission in the guest quarters."

Kakashi glanced at Sakura flexing on his desk as his finger traced unhurried circles around her knot.

"And where's Misaki?" Hatake exclaimed to drown out the louder groan that escaped from his companion's lips.

"She said something about feeling unwell or something."

"All right, Aiko, let them come in."

With lightning speed, Kakashi sat behind the desk, and Sakura hid under it. Hatake picked up some papers to cover up this and that, as well as to occupy his hands with something and began to arrange them anew.

Three young shinobi entered the office — Shikamaru, Chōji and Asami with the same fierce expression as always. And when Kakashi looked at Aiko who was opening the door to leave the office, he still managed to notice how Naruto was massaging his head. Oops, someone got a hit too. Apparently, his former apprentice also liked fierce women.

Then the Sixth looked back to the three jōnin in front of his desk.

"Shikamaru?" Kakashi looked at the team captain questioningly.

The mentioned one nodded.

"Everything's clean. We checked each of the rooms. No suspicious plans, jutsu, or other personality changes." At the last word, he smirked as he recalled Orochimaru impersonating the Fourth Kazekage. "All clear."

Kakashi nodded as he suddenly sensed something strange, but, as befits a trained shinobi, he showed nothing. Apparently, Sakura was getting bored.

"Asami, would you like to add anything?" Hokage asked in a low tone of voice, seeing the displeased expression of the young kunoichi.

Whereas Sakura had already unbuttoned his pants and slipped her hand under the fabric of his boxers, and when her cool fingers touched the hot skin on his cock, Kakashi with all his strength restrained the shivers that wanted to flow through his body and a groan that threatened to escape from his mouth.

"Hokage-sama, could you please dust Naruto's coat on the next mission?" Asami hissed in anger. "So that he doesn't want to peek at other girls anymore..."

Kakashi sincerely wanted to laugh when suddenly Sakura's lips were on him. The man resisted the temptation to close his eyelids under the pleasant caress and only narrowed his eyes.

"Asami, you need to know that..." Kakashi stifled a groan as Sakura found the perfect rhythm that made him always throw his head back and lose himself completely in her caresses. "...we're not always able to control it. Naruto may do it unconsciously, and other girls may perceive him differently since he was hailed the hero of the Village and flirt with him..."

Kami-sama, it's good that he had a mask on his face, it would be too difficult for him to hide his reaction. He rustled the papers, trying to ward off his thoughts from Sakura and her otherworldly mouth, taking possession of his cock. And to think that he was supposed to punish her, not she him...

"Yeah, a likely excuse..." Gensai snorted, rolling her eyes. "He's not so innocent."

"If that's all you have to say, then you can go back to your duties," Hatake announced, and one of his hands went to Sakura's hair, pulling it not too gently, thus wanting to interrupt her too successful actions; the other was clamped tighter on the papers.

"Hai," the interim members of Team 10 replied unanimously before they marched off and left the Hokage's office.

As soon as the door behind the three shinobi slammed, Kakashi exhaled heavily and collapsed into the chair, tossing the papers on the desk as Sakura renewed her attack, and this time, he wasn't going to interrupt her at all. The movement of her mouth matched the movements of her hands, and Kakashi vented his weaknesses, groaning slowly. This time he wove his fingers gently into her hair.

Hatake allowed her this little caress, wanting to make up for the earlier humiliation his woman had almost led to.

And when he was really close to fulfilment, he pulled his Sakura up, then stood up with her in his arms and placed her on the desk again. He spread her legs as far as her leggings would allow him and ran his hand gently from her calf to her thigh. And then he lifted her legs up and pressed his naked cock against her, moved his hardness between her petals and rubbed against the opening of her vagina.

Sakura begged him not to tire her for a long time, because they didn't have time for this, but as if he didn't listen to her, he crouched down in front of her parted legs, and Haruno, knowing his habits too well, rose on her elbows to stop him before... he slowly slid two fingers inside her. Sakura threw her head back under the influence of this caress and muttered her dissatisfaction, because it wasn't exactly what she wanted at the moment. And then it only got worse when Kakashi reached inside with his mouth. Sakura fell down on the desk, deliberately banging her head hard on it as his hot tongue rubbed against the knot of nerves. She mumbled his name in an attempt to plead for him to stop, but he wouldn't obey her.

His lips sucked her petals, and his tongue did magical things, rubbing against that one point synchronized with the motion of his fingers. Kakashi muttered his approval as he sensed his love tremble. It wasn't long before a wave of fulfilment rolled through Sakura's body. And her body shivered from the orgasm that just passed through her, she tried to clench her thighs to push Kakashi away, but Kakashi wouldn't let her. He straightened up immediately and pinned her hips to the desk with one hand, then slipped the head of his penis inside, but didn't allow himself to plunge in further to continue his torture on Sakura, who snarled in annoyance.

His lips replaced fingers. With his cock barely touching her entrance and fingers rubbing against the knot between the spread petals of her lower lips, Sakura once again achieved orgasm in a short time, and this time stars danced in front of her eyes from the strength of the sensation. She began to writhe on his desk, desiring him fully, but Kakashi seemed to derive inexpressible pleasure and satisfaction from her suffering.

It was then that Sakura made her decision as more spasms shook her body, summoned a little chakra to push his hands away, and with her legs she pulled him closer to her, so that Kakashi slowly plunged into her to the base. They both moaned with relief. Hatake's hands tightened on her hips, relishing the sensation of her wetness tightening his cock tightly. Haruno mumbled his name again, whimpering for more, but he didn't move, driving his woman into pure fury.

"We don't have all day for this, Hatake," she snapped.

Kakashi smiled lazily.

"You think so?"

"What about our mission?"

"It can wait. We have to prepare the supplies anyway."

Sakura rose on her elbows and gave him an ominous look.

Kakashi gave up. He moved in her quite slowly, but the very movement was enough to make his chosen one moan. Then he sped up his movements, the thrusts of his hips intensified as well, and her delicate skin, under the influence of his firm grip, turned even white as he dug his fingers into her hips. With leggings tightly restricting her leg movements, Sakura rested her ankles against his shoulders, and Kakashi placed a gentle kiss on her bare calf.

From moment to moment, Kakashi entered her faster and harder, he plunged to the very end, to the very base of his penis, tasting and enjoying her moisture, to which he had led her himself, because for a man of his kind there was nothing more uplifting than the fact that he had brought her to this state. With that thought, her slender legs resting on the sides of his head and her sweet moans, Kakashi was completely lost in the passion enveloping their bodies. He watched her lovely face enveloped in bliss and her moans were endless. And when Sakura wet her lips with her tongue, Kakashi was completely gone. Fulfilment rolled through his body as he crashed into the chasm just behind Sakura, filling her completely.
