"I fell in love."

Sakura's jaw dropped, and at first, she was unable to utter a word. And what's more, the fact that Kakashi in this position looked like the embodiment of her wildest fantasies didn't make it any easier, especially when the side of his face was lit every now and then by the lightning of the storm raging outside, creating an amazing contrast between his pale hair and the dark mask. As he rested his head against the rock, looking up thoughtfully, a faint smile on his lips, or so she thought, as he narrowed his eyes slightly and the black material lifted a little.

Only after that did the words soak into the mind of the young kunoichi who made a soft sound of surprise before she thoughtlessly asked, "What? How's that? In whom?!"

This time, Kakashi closed his eyes and his smile widened.

"Do you remember the rule?"

Sakura blinked quickly, surprised.

"What...? What are you...?"

"One question, one answer. Now it's my turn to ask the question," he announced, his eyes returning to her.

Haruno frowned, staring him out with the greenish of her irises.

"You must have knock your head, Kakashi," she said, angry.

Hatake laughed again.

"You didn't know that?" he said, thus creating a mixture of consternation and amusement on his companion's face. "Why are you still rejecting Sasuke?"

Suddenly all the joy drained from the young kunoichi's face. She stared blankly at the far cave entrance as the flabby branches of willow trees flapped in the wind, lashed by heavy raindrops. Thunder rolled over the grotto.

"At first I thought I loved him," she replied after a moment of thought. "With time, I realized that it was just infatuation with his appearance."

Kakashi only raised an eyebrow as he was counting on something more, and Sakura had a tendency to tell him everything without much effort on his side. But then she took a deep breath and continued, "Sasuke tried to kill me, Kakashi... it kind of opened my eyes. It made me wonder what if he had actually killed me that day. What if I died then? I wouldn't see Naruto fulfil his dream, and maybe he would even break down in some way after my death and want revenge... isn't that a terrible vision?" Sakura looked at her companion, who swallowed hard. "Then I realized that Sasuke will never love me, not as I deserve it. Not as real as Naruto loves me... or at least as he used to love me..."

Sakura didn't take her eyes off her companion, looking in him for any confirmation that he understood any of her incoherent statements. Instead, she saw a pain of unknown origin painted across his face.

"Tell me, Kakashi, why don't we always love those people who deserve our feelings but run after someone who doesn't even deserve five minutes of our time?" she asked the question, her gaze returned to the raging nature outside the cave. "For so long I lived in the conviction that my love for Sasuke is so great that I didn't notice what was at hand..." Here she felt the questioning gaze of her former teacher. "A friendship... offered from Naruto, or Sai, it was the only thing that should please me at a time when Sasuke completely didn't understand the meaning of the bond. I didn't comprehend the reason why he left, even when you tried very carefully to explain it to me. I didn't understand him... so how could I be with someone who I completely don't understand, or who doesn't understand my needs?" Sakura took a deep breath. "With him I feel like someone completely different, and I don't want to feel like this, Kakashi. I want to fully experience what life has given me and not to limit myself only to someone else's point of view... Sasuke sees a pretty face in me and nothing else, he doesn't notice those feelings that swirl under the surface... he doesn't see the storm that is inside me since the day he wanted to kill me... he hadn't noticed that my feelings for him had grown cold the moment he put me in that genjutsu during the war... Then I saw what was swirling inside him, he showed me his pain and his reasoning in this illusion, but I still couldn't understand him... so I gave up. Even if he's trying to get me now, trying to make me love him at all costs, I..." Sakura looked directly into the dark grey eyes drilling into her. "I don't want him anymore..."

Hatake nodded slowly with understanding.

"I mean..." Haruno bit her lower lip, not knowing how to put in words what was stifled inside her.

"You can't forget what was before, that's why you don't want to give him a chance. You're afraid that when you do that, Sasuke will go back to who he was before and you will live in constant fear of possible death from his hand," Kakashi finished for her; her eyes widening as it reached her how easily her former teacher could read her.

"Y-yeah," she whispered, staring at him with a new dose of respect.

"Each of us is afraid of something, it's closely related to our existence," he replied enigmatically. "I'm sure that if Sasuke didn't strive for you so much now, you could feel less cornered and perhaps rebuild some feelings for him..."

Sakura shook her head vigorously.

"No, Kakashi. You're not right about that. Sasuke didn't deserve my love from the very beginning, I should have given this great feeling to Naruto, but now it's too late..."

"How so?"

Sakura smiled at her thoughts.

"Because there are so many girls around him now that I would be one of those who are so blindly staring at him, even though they despised him once in the past," she replied. "Besides, he told me recently that someone had caught his eye."

"Hinata?"

"No. It's someone not from our year."

"Oh, that's something new."

"I know, right? I always thought that since Hinata had had feelings for Naruto for so long, he would reciprocate them one day, but... you can't make someone love you, right?" She looked at him with those big green eyes.

"It's true, I know from experience."

"Ah, yes?" Sakura looked at her former teacher questioningly.

"Do you really want to know?"

She nodded vigorously.

"Well, back then... a long time ago, there was a girl on my first team." Sakura's interest suddenly increased by the whole Milky Way, staring curiously at her former teacher. "Well, Rin fell in love with me, or rather in love with my whole frame, not with me. I was the best in class, I graduated from the academy much faster than my peers, and a year later I was awarded the title of chūnin. She was one of the many girls who were fascinated with me." Here Kakashi looked at her shaking his head in embarrassment. "Believe it or not, I've never pulled my mask off in my life, so I really don't know why they would like me so much..."

Sakura laughed, though her eyes instinctively began to wander over the covered features of his face.

"On my team was also Obito, whom you met during the war. We were supervised by the Fourth, Naruto's father." Here Kakashi paused, lowered his gaze, which Sakura immediately followed, catching herself wandering around the dangerous areas of his lower body parts. "Obito has always tried to compete with me because Rin has often commented on how great I am, although I don't think it's any greatness. I learned everything from books, if only he put some effort in studying, he wouldn't be so bad. Well, maybe the aim is a different case." Kakashi pondered again, and Sakura with red cheeks looked away as she realized that her companion had no underwear under his pants, which made some parts of his body too exposed. "On that one mission, when we thought that Obito died and gave me his sharingan, Rin was distraught at the loss of a friend. No wonder, we were very young then. I think she tried to confess her love to me that night, but I didn't let her finish and instead replied that Obito truly loved her and that I would never be able to love her back like he did. She understood it." Seeing the pain on Sakura's face, Kakashi quickly corrected himself, "I wasn't mean in any way, I said it honestly and carefully as her friend. A few months later Rin was kidnapped, I tried to get her back, but before that, she became a jinchūriki for one of the tailed beasts tasked with blowing up Konoha right after crossing its gates... Rin made up her mind, first begging me insistently to kill her, but when I repeatedly refused, she took matters into her own hands and... it was when we were surrounded by enemy ninja troops when I tried to fight them that Rin lunged at my chidori, thereby committing suicide." Sakura groaned with a pained voice, staring at the man sympathetically. "The problem is, then I tormented myself with these 'what if' thoughts, whether I would be able to reciprocate her feelings one day. Until I began to wish we had the chance to find out. However, every day I became more and more convinced that love life isn't my cup of tea... until now."

"You met someone who changed that, huh?"

"Yes," replied Kakashi.

"Who's that?" Sakura became interested.

Kakashi gave her his lazy gaze.

"I think you've exhausted your question limit."

Shock enveloped Sakura as she stared at Kakashi suddenly with understanding.

"You sneaky..." she bit her tongue before calling him any names. "You did it on purpose! By deliberately delaying the moment, perhaps even taking away from me that question I asked you at the beginning! You just don't want to answer me, do you?!"

"My turn!"

"Bite me!"

Hatake smiled that lazy smile of his, as if he were some god, and Sakura could now enjoy the splendour of his glory. This kind of smile from him captivated her every time. And as much as she wanted to be angry with him, she couldn't take her eyes off him. Kakashi had his charm and in a way, he drew her more and more to him.

"Why are you so interested in who I'm in love with?"

Sakura felt the blushes creep up her cheeks.

"Oh, please, don't say that it's this cheap blonde from the bar with whom we saw you..." Sakura bit her tongue in time, before she blundered out that they saw him leaving the toilet with her. "Because if she's the reason you quit the team, then you have officially a kick in the ass from me."

Kakashi laughed.

"What's so funny, Hatake?!" Sakura snorted, and a strand of her now dry hair fell over her eyes, so she blew it away with visible fury.

The man resumed his imperious, intimidating attitude. Glancing boldly over her silhouette.

"You," he replied, and this time his lips twitched into a mysterious smile.

"What's so funny about me?"

Kakashi scratched his nose, slightly sliding his mask off. At the sight of this, Sakura's heart fluttered like the wings of a butterfly soaring into the air.

"My turn to ask," said Hatake, trying to skip the uncomfortable topic.

"What?! I can't believe it! You did it again, Kakashi!" Sakura shouted indignantly.

Hatake smiled innocently, and the young kunoichi rebuked him with the greenish of her gaze.

"What?"

"Every time you push me to different topics, so that I divert from the original path of our conversation!" she snorted, then snarled in rage to vent her frustration.

She lifted her legs from under the top layer of the sleeping bag as she immediately felt hot, then gave him an accusing look.

"Ah, well, it's quite possible that I'm coasting from the answer, but you didn't answer my question either, so I'll repeat it," said Hatake slowly. "Why do you care so much to find out who my chosen one is?"

"I already told you that..."

"No, that's not the answer to my question."

Sakura wondered about the real reason why she should hate the woman who stole her sensei's heart, and somehow, she couldn't make it clear. It was similar when Naruto announced that he was dating someone. She didn't know why, but despite the joy for his successful life, she felt a painful pang of disappointment, as if all her life she was counting on the fact that he would be immensely in love with her and that no one would take the place intended for her in his heart. Sasuke screwed up, so she didn't care if he was going to be dating someone else, but she had been really close to Naruto and Kakashi for many years, so why... did she feel just as betrayed by Kakashi as by Naruto? It's just that with her former teacher, things got complicated because she felt absolutely no joy that he finally finds himself someone. All she could feel was the rage inside her that burned away the remnants of her heart. Was she worried that their team would fall apart over time, and she would remain... all alone?

She shifted her gaze to Kakashi, who stared at her in surprise, as if he suddenly felt understanding.

"Are you jealous?" he asked, and Sakura felt tears flowing to her eyes involuntarily.

"No, Kakashi, it's not like that. I... I feel like..." She swallowed loudly, and with it that huge lump in her throat and all that rage consuming her from the inside. "I'm really happy with your happiness..."

He has already left their team, not spending as much time with them as he did, not so long ago... what else is going to happen? When Naruto marries this girl, everyone will completely abandon her, and she will be left with the only option available for her, which will be Sasuke?

"It's just... just..." The first tears ran down her cheeks. "You already quit the team. Completely excluding us from your life, nay! Even from your own heart, and... and what will happen when Sai and Naruto will also leave, because they will get married and completely throw me out of their heart, so I... will stay with Sasuke not out of my own choice, but just because I didn't get another option? It hurts me... loneliness scares me, Kakashi." she whispered the last sentence wide-eyed as she realized the real cause of her pain.

Kakashi answered her shocked gaze, feeling something tighten around his heart.

"Sakura, don't cry," he asked quietly. "I promise you will never be alone. Maybe leaving the team without saying goodbye was a mistake, but I really had to do it to get myself together."

"How do you know that, huh? How do you know I won't be alone?" she tossed furiously through her tears before adding in a weak voice, "It was a mistake you quit the team... you should've never abandoned us in the first place..."

"I didn't, I just..."

"Who is she? Why is she so important to you? Even more important than your friends who have known you for so many years, huh?"

Kakashi hung his arms.

"I can't tell you," he spoke so softly his companion barely heard him above the crackling fire between them.

"Why?" Though her voice was calm, rage slowly obscured common sense.

If he loved her so much that he was willing to abandon his entire team for her, how could he not tell Sakura that? After all, he owed them something, a word of explanation.

"Besides, I had one more reason to quit the team. Not only her."

"What is it?"

Kakashi preferred not to annoy her with his question for question policy anymore, and simply ignored the fact that this time it was his turn to ask her.

"This is my last mission as a shinobi."

Sakura almost choked on the inhaling air.

"Don't say you're leaving the Village too?!"

Hatake smiled.

"Oh no," he replied softly, before he continued a little louder, "Tsunade gave me enough time to get used to this thought anyway. She announced that after this mission I would become the Sixth Hokage and there's no rest for the wicked..."

Sakura made a soft sound of surprise.

"That's why I'll no longer be able to lead your team..."

This time a pitiful moan left her mouth before she cried for good, hiding her face in the sleeves of his sweatshirt.

"So, it's true... there's no rescue for us anymore... and I'll be left alone..."

"That's not true, Sakura," Hatake said firmly before standing up and walking towards her. "I promised you wouldn't be alone."

He crouched down in front of her, taking care not to deposit the sand on the sleeping bag. He put his hand on her shoulder in a reassuring gesture, as he always did, which in turn made Sakura take the sleeves of his blouse from her face to look at him with teary eyes.

"What's that got to do to the point?" she said bitterly. "You will go with your stupid girl into the world, and you will completely forget about me..."

Hatake smiled pained at her.

"I won't."

Sakura gave him an angry look, which softened a bit when she discovered how close he was to her.

"How can you be so sure? You abandoned me once! If it hadn't been for the last time I saw you at a bar, you would never have thought of taking me with you on this mission! Ah, indeed... after all, Tsunade assigned me to you..."

Kakashi unconsciously took her chin with his right hand, staring at the green of her irises.

"It's not entirely true," he replied. "In fact, I offered to take you with me on this mission."

Sakura opened her eyes wide, staring into the depth of grey of his gaze.

"How's that?"

"I heard how much you were eager to take my mask off," he explained with a malicious smirk dancing on his lips.

"You... you were on the training field then?" she asked breathlessly.

"Oh, not only once," he laughed. "I've always watched you from hiding when I wasn't on a mission."

Sakura's green irises were absorbed even more by her pupils.

"But... but... how..."

"I missed you too much not to see you in my life so completely."

"So, you didn't leave us, not completely?"

It felt as if Kakashi was even closer now. Her hands trembled, and she realized with another heartbeat that she could now reach for his mask. Kakashi allowed her to do so.

With a trembling hand, she reached into the dark fabric, pressing her hand against his cheek.

"I could never do that."

"Why?"

"I couldn't give up on you..."

Her mouth opened involuntarily in silent shock, and the hand, which caught the edge of his mask with its fingers, dropped from the sensation, thereby sliding the dark material off his face. Shock and disbelief stamped on her face as she was struck by the fact that for the first time, she had the unmasked Kakashi in front of her. But what struck her even more was how painfully handsome her former teacher was.

"Oh, Kakashi," she cried, and he as if nothing had happened, leaned over her, placing a tender kiss on her lips.

However, before Sakura allowed herself to relish the taste of his mouth, which was simply stunning. She gently rested her hands on his shoulders, pushing him away from her. Their eyes met, and on his exposed cheeks, in the dim light sent by the dancing flames, she saw a faint blush on his cheeks.

"But how so?" she gasped. "After all, you love..."

Suddenly understanding fell upon her, and then her eyes widened even more.

"You," Kakashi finished after her as another lightning bolt lit up the cavern, and sometime later thunder rolled out.

So did the heart in her chest.

"So, it's because of me that you...?"

Kakashi nodded.

"The more time I spent in your company, the more and more I became convinced of this, which is why I made the decision to leave the team. I was afraid that something was wrong with me..."

Sakura smiled and the enormous weight fell from her heart as it turned out that in the heart of her former teacher there was no one else but herself. A foolish smile adorned her lips as she pressed her hands to his cheeks, ready to sink her lips back into his. When suddenly a thought came to life in her head.

"Wait a minute!" she gasped, looking straight into his eyes. "What was that in the bar then?"

"Ah, yeah. How to explain it to you... Well, I got a little drunk and you showed your panties in front of me before, so I wanted to pay you back somehow," he replied.

Sakura raised an eloquent eyebrow.

"Really? What was that woman doing there?"

"Complete waste of time," he said quickly to dismiss the topic.

Sakura rolled her eyes.

"But not so much wasted as to avoid using her services?" she pinned him with her jade gaze.

"Well, I don't know why I would have to explain myself to you if you didn't even know a few days ago that I had any feelings for you," he said logically.

"Tell me, what were you doing with her in the men's room?" Sakura pressed despite his respond.

"Is it so important?"

"Yes!"

Kakashi looked sceptical at her.

"Did you make love to her?"

"Sakura... you act as if you've already named yourself my woman."

"And I'm not?"

She surprised him enough that he didn't even notice when she knelt down to close the distance between them and squeeze a passionate kiss on his lips. Hatake made no protest, letting her tongue penetrate inside his lips, caressing his own. It was then that he scooped her up and dropped himself onto the lair made of his sleeping bag, only to pull her onto his lap, further reducing the distance between them as a mighty wave of desire swelled inside their bodies.

However, after a while, Sakura broke away from his lips.

"Do I kiss better than she does?"

Kakashi frowned. "What?"

"That bitch from the bar!"

"When I didn't even kiss her," Kakashi replied indignantly.

"So, what were you doing there for so long?"

Hatake hung his arms helplessly.

"She did a blowjob to me. Are you satisfied?"

Sakura pursed her lips into a narrow line.

"No," she replied, feeling a hideous flush on her cheeks, revealing the level of her embarrassment. After all, she has never done anything like this before... "You were in love with me, and yet you went with her then?"

Kakashi released her from his grip and hung his head helplessly.

"What should I tell you, Sakura?" He looked back at her eyes, narrowed menacingly. "Then I wouldn't have thought that you would ever return my feelings, so I tried to function normally somehow, although my thoughts were practically wandering around you all the time. Even when I was with another woman, I always wondered what would happen if you were with me then. I couldn't help imagining my life with you by my side, but I tried to set myself up for the latter as well, because I would never expect you to be as interested in me as I do in you."

He paused as he noticed her eyes glistening once more. Did he say something wrong?

Another thunder deafened them both, and for a really long moment they stared at each other. Their hearts pounded inside, as if trying to break free. They were both panting as if they had just run a very long distance.

It was then that Sakura wrapped her hands around his neck, her lips crashed onto his mouth. Kakashi's hands tightened on her hips again, letting himself enjoy the kiss that inflamed him from the inside. He wanted to enjoy the taste of her lips and the feel of the bare skin against the thin material of his pants. The heat that radiated from her directly to his uncovered crotch, which was unprotected by a double portion of material, excited him strongly. And the fact that the young woman by his side wore only his sweatshirt and boxer shorts worked for him even better than any of the erotic scenes in his favourite series of books.

Hatake involuntarily ran his hands down her bare thighs, then up, to plunge under the thick fabric of his blouse, which was now much more troublesome to him. Kakashi let out a low murmur of approval as Sakura bravely moved her hips, rubbing against his cock through the thin material of his pants. On the one hand, it was a pleasant experience not to wear underwear, but on the other, it would be much easier for an outsider to see his erection. Currently, he had nothing to be ashamed of, only how quickly Sakura was able to bring him to the brink of endurance.

Their mouths gaped wider and wider, grasping each other greedily as their tongues locked together in a passionate dance. Sakura swayed her hips once again, making a soft moan of approval come out of her mouth this time.

Kakashi moved one of his hands down to clamp on her buttock, while the other glided up to finally embrace her breast. His companion didn't object, even eagerly sticking her chest in front of him, as if she was eager to feel his touch. Perhaps it was so, since in the last few years no one had ever caressed her like this, or even kissed her. As for her first kiss, she was doing really well, although Hatake had to inhibit his impulses, constantly reminded himself that it was all too fast for her.

After all, it had to be her first time, right?

Sakura bit his lower lip painfully enough to get his attention. Kakashi opened his eyes, staring at her jade irises, almost engulfed by the bottomless blackness of her pupils.

"Kakashi, where are you?" she whispered. "You seem so absent."

Shit, he was analysing too much instead of getting carried away.

"I'm here with you," he replied, teasing her swollen nipple with his thumb, thereby making her sigh blissfully.

And then he removed his sweatshirt from her in one move, only to tilt it back after a while and sink his lips into her breasts. Sakura, under the influence of his moist lips on such a sensitive spot, threw her head back and allowed herself to drift away, moaning slowly as Kakashi caressed her quite skilfully. His lips were kissing, sucking, and gently nibbling, sliding his hot tongue over and over her swollen nipple again and again. The young kunoichi, led by his caress, entwined her fingers in his dishevelled hair, giving herself completely to him. She wrapped her legs around his waist, once again rubbing against his swollen manhood. The feeling was overwhelming for her, for she had never felt such a desire that had swelled throughout her, instinctively responding to his every caress. And although it was incredibly wonderful for her, all she wanted was to finally feel unicity with his body.

Sakura tugged desperately at his T-shirt, pulling it up as Kakashi's lips took possession of her other breast, kissing it gently. Kunoichi clung to him with one hand, her fingers still entwined in his hair, while the other, which she had pulled up the fabric of her tight T-shirt a moment earlier, leaned against the ground through the fabric of the sleeping bag to keep her balance. His erection pressed more and more against the top of her thighs, sending a real flame of desire inside her. Sakura moaned, and then Kakashi returned with kisses upwards, making a wet trail from her breast, through the one he caressed first, to the hollow of her neck, where Sakura discovered a new meaning of pleasure. His moist lips accompanied by his tongue caressed the delicate skin just above her pulse so wonderfully that she was utterly helpless in the face of the scream of passion circulating in her veins, she could only vent her passion by moaning his name to the sound of lightning and thunder that shook the whole grotto. Just as their bodies were filled with passion, so outside nature raged to their wild delight.

Sakura once again mutely asked him to go a step further, rubbing against his swollen penis with her crotch and pressing her naked body against his torso, still half-covered. She dug her nails into his back as he sucked too hard on her skin in the crease of her neck and once again mumbled both her approval and his name, which in turn sobered him enough to pull himself away from her and in a frenzy of true passion, he broke off from himself the rest of his clothes along with his shoes, then remove his boxer shorts from her slender legs with a lascivious smile on his lips. Just so she could spread them at once and let him in. Kakashi pressed his cock against her, leaning over her body in such a way that he could sink his lips back into hers and in this delightfully gentle way help her lie down on the sleeping bag, hovering over her, pressing her body with only his hips against the cool material.

Sakura urged him with her next moan, so without much delay, Kakashi filled her. He did it slowly, however, so as not to harm in any way the only person whose happiness he cared about the most. So, he slowly slid the head of his penis into her tight interior, and she looked at him displeased as she wanted him all. Kakashi soothed her with his soft touch on her cheek. He kissed her temple, forehead, the tip of her nose, and finally found her lips again, squeezing a sweet kiss on them, at the same time sliding into her painfully slowly. Sakura was getting more and more impatient, at least until a strange wave of burning pain flooded her body. But she squeezed her eyes tight, digging her nails into her companion's back the harder as he sank into her, waiting for her insides to adjust to him.

When he was finally soaked in her, he vented his delight, groaning softly. He opened his eyes for a moment to meet her gaze. His heart ached at the sight of her tears, but Sakura only held him tighter as her body was adjusting to his size, and Kakashi began to move in her really gently. Slowly at first, to give her time to get used to the new sensation, and then, when the moans began to come back from her throat, he picked up the pace a bit.

They both waited, kissing passionately as his hips slowly moved. Until finally the pain was forgotten, leaving only a faint distaste. However, when Sakura stared at Kakashi's handsome face, now concerned about her well-being, she felt her heart thud harder in her chest and lust rose in a new wave inside her.

She mumbled his name to get attention. Her hand almost immediately shot up to his cheek to embrace it tenderly.

"You fell in love with me," she whispered, a blissful smile on her lips as Kakashi moved slowly within her.

He looked at her, raising an eyebrow questioningly.

"Hm?"

"I still can't believe it," she explained, stroking her thumb over his scratching cheek.

A smile stretched his lips as he traced his lascivious gaze across her naked form to the bond of their bodies. He made another thrust, but this time a little faster.

"Hatake Kakashi," she moaned as he pushed into her a little harder. "I just wanted to point out that you are mine from now on."

He couldn't help but the broad, slightly goofy smile that lit up his face.

"Then you are mine too." His whisper made her body shudder, and the possessiveness in his voice almost made her moan.

He could really make her red with just words.

"I think I'm just falling in love with you, Kakashi," she whispered with a strong blush on her cheeks.

He, on the other hand, shook his head.

"Rather right now you're making love to me, Sakura. You're mixing the terms," he said in that low voice of his, making her eyes shut as the first wave of fulfilment rolled through her body along with the thunder that shook the entire cavern.

Kakashi smiled happily at the sight, and gradually began to move faster and faster in her as his body reflexively responded to the sudden contraction of her vagina, feeling that he could no longer hold back, so he gave up the slow pace. He entered her faster and faster, feeling this primal feeling of desire overwhelm him, and Sakura threw her head back, arching her body into an arch under the influence of the pleasure that enveloped her body.

Soon after, fulfilment rolled over their bonded together figures, making them both tremble. Kakashi then covered with his body her slender figure. Sakura clung to him, craving his warmth, tenderness and the touch of the skin against the skin. Entwined in this way, they fell asleep with the silent crackle of the flame from the hearth nearby.

Even the sky outside brightened, and the moon came out from behind the clouds.
