Finally Matured

The Talk

Kakashi pushed his tongue into her mouth exploring what he hadn't touched for a couple hours which for him was too long. Sakura let out a light moan into his mouth pushing her hips into his holding him close. Kakashi gasped and withdrew his tongue. Taking this opportunity Sakura kissed him taking his bottom lip her mouth biting on it lightly then sucking on it. Kakashi's hands ran down to his student's butt cupping each side of it lifting her off the ground. She complied wrapping her legs around his waist holding onto his body tightly as she finally released his lip continuing the kissing. He pushed her up against a tree and Kakashi took this opportunity to push their rapidly raising and falling chests next to each other. He breaks away from the the kissing to trail kisses down her chin to her neck where he pulled down the new raised collar so he could pick up where he left off earlier that day. 

"Kakashi..." Sakura whined rolling her head back against the bark on the tree. She pushed him back so she could look his in the eye putting her head straight again. 

"We need to talk about this." she said with a strain in her voice. 

"Okay," he lowered her from the tree so she was standing still slightly pushed against the tree, "I'm sorry let's talk."

"What is this?" She said point to him then back at herself. 

"What do you want this to be?" he asked demanded his face looming over her's. It was amazing seeing his face without the mask. He was more beautiful that she could have imagined, but he wanted an answer it showed in the strain in his face. Sakura closed her eyes took a deep breath and knew what she needed to say. Even is he rejected her she needed to get it off her chest. 

"When I look at you my chest aches because I want to be with you so much. When I was young I was always watching you Kakashi and you were always there to protect me. Always there for me. I wanted to be at your level and that's why I worked so hard. I saw Naruto advance so quickly along with Sasuke and you all left me behind. I was alone Kakashi and becoming Lady Tsunade's apprentice got your attention again because I began to stand among you guys again. I only wanted you to see me. More than that little bitch girl that you had to protect all the time. I wanted us to be here for each other. I want you to look at me and be here for me everyday. Then I want you to look at me like you need me too. I don't want to be watching you move forward. I want to hold your hand and walk along with you forever. I don't want you ever to leave me behind now that you actually see me. I worked so hard to be with you. To climb my way to your level. I love you Kakashi and I'm terrified that you don't feel the same. That you are going to keep walking and all I will see is the back of the person I love." 

When Sakura finished her rant she had tears running down her face. She calmed down a little looking for something to show in her sensei's face. He look stunned, but a smile was soon placed on his face. He leaned his forehead against hers closing his eyes. 

"I will never leave you behind again. I never meant to leave you behind to begin with Sakura. I love you so much. Honestly I felt as though you would never see me like this. I had hoped when I saw you become a fine woman and ninja that you would look at me. I honestly never thought I would get this lucky to have Sakura Haruno. Everyone I have ever loved has left me tragically because I wasn't strong enough. I have never been strong enough to to protect anyone I love, but for you I will try to as strong as I can be. I will never let you leave my side. I love you Sakura and will always feel the same way about you." he said feeling like things in his life were finally okay. He could finally forgive himself by dedicating his life to this one girl. The girl he loved. He would protect her for all the other times he could not protect those around him. She would set his world right.

"I've never been more happy Kakashi." she said lightly kissing him on his lips just to show the love she felt from him. Sakura looked serious again, "Do we tell people?" she made a worried faced."What would my parents say? You are a little older than me? Scratch that a lot older than me..." 

"We will deal with that when it comes up." Kakashi shrugged. "When people start asking questions we will tell them straight up, but until then we will keep it not a secret, but not super open about it."

Sakura squinted her eyes thinking about that, "I think that will work. We just have to wait to be open about it until I get a little older and you a little younger." she said laughing to herself. 

"It's not like I'm a grandpa Sakura." Kakashi started grinning, "But you can call me daddy if you want though." He started kissing her neck as they both laughed.

"Damn old and a pervert. I've got great taste in men." she said putting both her hand on each of his cheeks kissing him sweetly. "I love you so much."

Kakashi kissed her again, "I love you too my beautiful Sakura." 

"Come here," she said leaning into him kissing him sweetly over and over again. 

She began moving down his neck when there was a loud noise coming from a bush. Turning around Kakashi pushed up his mask pulling out a knife ready to protect Sakura at any cost. She was right beside him though ready to protect him too. Out stumbles a half asleep Naruto going to a tree pulling down his pants to pee. Slowly Kakashi and Sakura backed away running back to the campsite. 

"Get some rest please. I'll make Naruto do guard duty. I love you." He kissed her on the nose and disappeared. 

Sakura being exhausted turned around and fell down onto her two blankets with a smile. He loved her just as much as she loved him. Slowly she fell asleep remembering the way Kakashi looked without a mask and what the future held. Happiness.
