Unexpected Love

Chapter 13

Quality Time

Sakura groaned as she rolled over in her bed as she began to wake up from the best sleep she had had in a long while. The warmth next to her was just too pleasant to leave. Wrapping her arms around the source of the warmth she cuddled closer. Groggily she realized that for one, her legs and arms were tangled around a warm something and that something was chuckling at her.

 

"What's so funny?" Sakura tiredly asked the moving object that was now laughing in a deep masculine voice.

 

"Good morning sleepy head, it's about time you woke up," Kakashi said as he watched the emotions cross Sakura's face as she tried to figure out who he was. It always surprised him how she was always on time when she was such a heavy sleeper. His ears suddenly started ringing as he heard Sakura's surprised scream that was right next to his head.

 

"Ahh, Kakashi, what do you think your doing?" Sakura yelped. Realizing how loud she just was she covered her face with her hands in embarrassment.

 

"Trying to wake you up, but it seems as if you want to stay in bed all day," Kakashi said suggestively as his eyebrows went up.

 

"What? Pervert!" Sakura yelled before taking her pillow and hitting Kakashi over the head with it.

 

"Now, now, don't you want to train today?" Kakashi asked with a smirk as he watched Sakura eyes light up in annoyance.

 

"On one of my few days off? You've got to be kidding me," Sakura said incredulously as she hit Kakashi with the pillow again.

 

"Then you do want to stay in bed with me?" Kakashi teased. He watched amused as Sakura turned three different shades of red before turning over on her side so she was facing away from him.

 

"Pervert," Sakura whispered below her breathe hoping beyond hope that he did not hear her for she was sure he would say something else perverted. That man really did read too much of his Icha Icha series.

 

"I heard that," Kakashi whispered in her ear. He laughed once again when she took the pillow she had been hitting him with and put it over her head.

 

 

Sakura remained silent, hoping that if she didn't say anything then he would not say anything. But she should of known by now that Kakashi loved to tease her and he would not leave behind an opportunity to do so.

 

"Come now Sakura-chan, do you want to waste the whole day in bed?" Kakashi asked loud enough where Sakura could hear him from under her pillow as he twirled a lock of her pink hair around his finger.

 

"What time is it?" Sakura asked after she had took the pillow from her head and looked at Kakashi.

 

"10:30."

 

"Nani! Half the morning is gone already!" Sakura yelled. She had never slept this late before, even when she didn't have anything to do. Throwing the covers back Sakura started to jump out of bed before a hand covered her wrist and pulled her back.

 

"And where do you think you are going?" Kakashi commanded playfully as he circled his arm around her waist to keep her from getting up.

 

"Uh...I don't know, but I can't stay in bed all day," Sakura said as she tried sitting up but was held by Kakashi's hand.

 

"Why? We can just stay in bed all day," Kakashi suggested with a hint of a pervert in his deep voice.

 

"No wonder you are always late. It's because you sleep the whole day away," Sakura accused before struggling against the arm holding her once again.

 

"Your no fun Sakura," Kakashi pouted with downcast eyes.

 

"Nice try Kakashi, but I'm not affected by that puppy look from all the times Naruto used it on me. "

 

"But I'm not Naruto," Kakashi said sadly as he kept up his act.

 

Sakura actually looked at him this time, certain that she would not fall for it. But for some reason the way he looked it seemed as if he really was upset. Now Sakura could fend off Naruto's looks but when it came to Kakashi, well, she was just a sucker.

 

"Fine. But only for a little while," Sakura huffed as she settled down on the bed, giving up her efforts of escape. She instantly saw Kakashi's frown turn into a smirk for he had known that he would win. Pulling her closer to his side Kakashi held her fast around the waist and tangled his leg with hers as he lay his head above her chest.

 

"So, what are we going to do today?" Sakura asked after a moment of silence with Kakashi just laying on her.

 

"Hmm?" Kakashi asked for he had not heard the question for being so amerced in his own thoughts.

 

"I said, what are we going to do today?" Sakura said with a hint of malice in her voice at having to repeat herself.

 

"Well, I was thinking of taking a vacation," Kakashi mumbled against her skin as he breathed in her sweet smelling scent.

 

"A vacation, but aren't we already on one?" Sakura asked confused as she ran her hand through Kakashi's silver hair. It still amazed her how he was able to keep it so soft when it didn't look like he ever brushed it.

 

"Just the two of us, I want to take you somewhere," Kakashi said with an aura of mischief around him.

 

"Really? Where?" Sakura asked excitedly, but her eagerness deflated when she saw Kakashi shrug his shoulders with a smirk.

 

"You will just have to wait and see," Kakashi whispered. Untangling himself from Sakura, he got up off the bed and helped her up also.

 

"I'm going to take a shower," Sakura said before heading towards the bathroom.

 

"Okay, I'm going to the Hokage's tower," Kakashi said before donning his mask and headband and jumping out of her open window.

 

"Don't he ever use the door?" Sakura asked herself with a shake of her head before turning back around and entering the bathroom, looking forward to a nice long bath with plenty of hot water.

 

 

Tsunade was sitting at her desk, staring into space over the pile of paperwork on her desk when a poof of smoke made her jump in surprise. Looking up with a frown on her face for being scared when she was supposedly one of the Legendary Sannin she watched the smoke disappear. Standing before her was Kakashi without his perverted book for once with his hands in his pockets, looking as lazy as ever.

 

"What a surprise Kakashi," Tsunade said sarcastically as she laced her fingers atop her desk.

 

"I came to ask a favor, Tsunade-sama," Kakashi said, getting right to the point. He now stood in front of her desk with a serious expression on his face for he was afraid she would deny his request.

 

"A favor, haven't I already done a favor for you?" Tsunade asked with a raised brow, referring to letting Sakura and him be together.

 

"Yes, and I am very appreciative of that but I need just this one favor and I will not ask anything of you again."

 

"Well, spit it out already, I don't have all day you know," Tsunade said as she leaned back in her chair, waiting for Kakashi to ask her what he came for.

 

"I would like to request that Sakura and I have some time from our duties," Kakashi said, hoping beyond hope that she would comply.

 

"You are two of the best ninjas I have, I cannot just let you have a long period of vacation just to relax. Why do you need it?"

 

"It's something personal," Kakashi said for he did not want Tsunade to know the real reason he wanted time off with Sakura. But seeing the smirk forming on Tsunade's face he was sure that she had already figured out what he was up to.

 

"Very well, I will give you and Sakura off one week but no more than that, understood?" Tsunade said as she reached for an old parchment and a bottle of ink.

 

"Hai," Kakashi replied in his usual monotone voice as he 'poofed' out of her office with a smile hidden beneath his mask.

 

Racing back on the rooftops of the buildings of Konoha, Kakashi made it to Sakura's house in record time with the smile still on his face. Slipping in through the same window he had left from he looked around to see that Sakura apparently had not gotten out of the bathroom yet, but she should have by now unless something had happened.

 

Walking as silently as he could Kakashi came to the bathroom door, which he opened with a quick turn of the knob. He quickly stepped inside and closed the door back behind him as he took in the site that met his eyes.

 

Sakura was sitting up in her bathtub with bubbles covering her form that lay atop the still water. She had her eyes closed with her two arms resting on the sides of the tub and her knees sticking above the water. Determining from her even breathing and the steady rise and fall of her obscured chest Kakashi could tell that she was sound asleep. From how long she had slept he did not see how she could be asleep again.

 

Taking the few short steps to the bathtub he took off his headband and mask, laying them on the sink counter. Closing the distance between the sleeping woman and himself he knelt down on the heels of his sandaled feet.

 

It seemed to him that Sakura was the most beautiful kunoichi in the world. Her long black eyelashes lay against her porcelain skin that amplified her sea green eyes. Her forehead, which he had never thought was big, was now unnoticeable since her face had become more defined. Her neck was long and slender with her jugular vein clearly exposed due to her near white skin that glowed with a light of it's own.

 

Licking his lips Kakashi leaned further toward Sakura and placed a light kiss on her pulse that jumped at the contact. Using one of his hands he placed it in her hair that was slightly damp from the water. Even if her hair was still wet it was still the softest thing he had ever felt before. Breathing in the smell of her strawberry shampoo and cleanliness he continued up her neck, placing small kisses at regular intervals.

 

Her skin was also one of the softest things which he loved to feel as much as he could. Taking his hand out of her hair he laid it on her pulse to feel how she would react to his ministrations. After he had placed a few tender kisses along her neck he could feel that her pulse had sped up which meant that she was going to wake up any second now.

 

"Mm," Sakura moaned as her eyes slowly opened to the site of Kakashi's mismatched onyx and red Sharingan eyes. Realizing that she was still in the bathroom she tried covering herself from his eyes even though they were locked onto her own eyes.

 

"What are you doing in here?" Sakura asked curiously as he removed his hand from her neck where it had been resting.

 

"I thought that something happened to you since you were not out of here yet when I came back," Kakashi shrugged with an innocent smile that he could not keep in place for long since it soon turned into a smirk.

 

"How long have you been here?" Sakura asked as she quirked an eyebrow at his sudden smirk.

 

"About two minutes," Kakashi said with a grin.

 

"Where did you go in the first place?" Sakura asked knowing that he had and was up to something.

 

"Not telling, it's a surprise," Kakashi said with a wink before standing up and offering Sakura a pink towel that was on a small shelf beside the bathtub.

 

"Thanks, but I'm not getting out of this bathtub unless you're out of the room," Sakura said as she crossed her arms over her chest, under the water.

 

"I'm sure to be seeing you naked sooner or later, so why not now?" Kakashi asked lustfully with a smirk on his face.

 

"Why you..Pervert! Get out now!" Sakura yelled playfully as she started laughing. She unfolded her arms and skimmed her fingers across the water forcefully so that she was sure to splash Kakashi. She watched in amusement as she tried stifling her laughter at seeing Kakashi now soaked with water. He had droplets of water all over his Jounin vest, pants, and even his face.

 

"Sakura," Kakashi angrily yet playfully said as he indicated his clothes, but could not help when he joined in with her laughter.

 

"That's what you get for being a pervert, now out," Sakura commanded after she had calmed down enough to talk from laughing so hard at how Kakashi looked.

 

"Fine, but don't take too long, I know how you can be with your looks," Kakashi teased before giving Sakura a quick kiss on the lips before exiting the room and shutting the door behind him.

Sakura got dressed in a tight white tank top and pair of loose fitting black sweatpants with her hair now dry and pulled back in a low ponytail. Taking her dirty clothes in hand she left the bathroom and threw them in her laundry basket before walking over to Kakashi who was standing at her window looking out.

 

"So, what is it that you wanted to tell me?" Sakura asked referring to the surprise he said that he had for her.

 

"Pack your bags, I'm going to take you somewhere special, just the two of us," Kakashi repeated from before as he turned to face Sakura with a mischievous smile lighting his features.

 

"But I can't just leave without telling Tsunade," Sakura exclaimed with a scowl.

 

"That's why I left a while ago, I asked Tsunade could we have a week off and she agreed," Kakashi shrugged as if it was no big deal.

 

"Really? Wow, I would not have thought that she would let us since she has already done us a big favor."

 

"Well, get packing my cherry blossom because, we will be leaving in an hour," Kakashi said with a wave of his hand before jumping back out the window to go get his own things ready.

 

"But what should I pack?!" Sakura yelled after his retreating form that disappeared in a few seconds over a shingled roof.

This chapter was more of a filler but I thought it was okay. But it's the readers that count, ne? Anyway, the next chapter will be a whole lot better, I promise.

Next time:
