A big thank you to Lady Valtaya who was my Beta for this story!!

Author's note: English is not my first language, so please forgive my mistakes.

To all my dear readers and reviewers I'm so so so sorry! I didn't even realize it's been 4 months since the last update! (goes to hide in a corner in shame) I hope this chapter will be worth it, and I apologize for the delay. Sorry to have you bear with my slowness.

Reunion of Shadows 12

Kakashi methodically went through his papers, concentrated, fast and efficient. He didn't even put up the lazy front, Icha Icha paradise laying gently on his desk, next to his pile of "to be done" papers. Apart from Shizune no-one would enter this room, and if they did, they would knock, warning him sufficiently. He had to finish that entire stack so he could sneak out this evening and pass some time at Sasuke's bedside. He was so intent on that goal he had even created two bushin to help out.

Kakashi passed his hand in his hair, he was getting so tired. All those damned papers, all those duties he hadn't wanted. And his relation to Sasuke, couldn't things be simple for once? What a pity he had to pretend he didn't really care for the young man, it wouldn't do to have people know he was close to the raven. He was the Hokage and Sasuke was a former missing nin that still had to prove himself, sort of. Furthermore, it would be awkward for people to find out that not only was he very close to the Uchiha, but totally head over heels for him.

Naruto was the one staying at Sasuke's side most of the time, between short missions. The village couldn't afford to give anyone much time off now so Naruto had to work. Kakashi had also given him a secret mission: he wanted the blonde to wander the village. Naruto was much loved now, even if some morons still only saw the Kyuubi in him. He was counting on him to help restore Sasuke's reputation and find people who still doubted him. The particularly hard trial the raven had undergone had done wonders for people to keep seeing him as the great Uchiha. After all it wasn't so hard to understand what had motivated him, to see he had stayed as faithful as one could in such a situation. Sasuke had always kept his cool despite his vengeance driven personality, he had never killed innocent people.

The council had decided Sasuke and his team still needed to be monitored, Kakashi had had to indulge them in that but this time he had made and put a seal on them himself, to be sure nothing lethal or potentially dangerous was hiding in it. He had also changed the execution of it, it now needed his avail, Anbu had been given a fast way to communicate with him for this sole purpose.

He glanced at the clock and sighed. He had to concentrate on his work; it was only eleven pm he couldn't go yet. It was unnerving to know Sasuke would wake up without him being here, or even Naruto. However he knew who was there, always, keeping guard.

Suigetsu watched as Sakura checked on Sasuke, her green chakra concentrated in her hands as she slowly passed it over the man's unconscious body. Suigetsu and Karin only allowed her to be close to their leader. They checked whoever wanted to enter the room, but Sasuke's close people, which were only three. Suigetsu wasn't even in the mood to joke or tease Karin.

It had been three days already, they had had to give Sasuke intensive care during the whole time. The pink haired girl had chosen her team, and kept an eye on everyone since it would be far too easy to kill Sasuke in his current state. Now however they didn't have to heal him anymore, he just lay there, pale, an IV in the arm and that was all. He didn't even have scars; they had done a wonderful job. But he hadn't awoken yet.

Sakura left, glancing worriedly at Sasuke's friends but not saying a word. The room was bare, only a bed, a nightstand, two chairs, a window and that was all. The water-nin had trapped the door and window, he had forbid flowers and nothing entered the room without being checked by him first.

"Could you recognize the guy's chakra?" wondered Suigetsu, his eyes not leaving Sasuke's unconscious form.

He hadn't asked that question yet, too busy worrying for Sasuke's wellbeing. But now that it was only a question of time before he awoke, this was to be asked. Their leader would launch is revenge as soon as he could and they would keep by his side.

"No, I left too fast with the kid, I didn't have time to learn their chakra," answered Karin in an apologetically tone.

The water nin didn't answer. That made the woman even more worried, at this point she didn't know who she should be worried about most: Sasuke who was still in a coma and had lost yet another precious person or Suigetsu that seemed a bit too shattered. She was mourning Juugo too and was sorry that she couldn't have prevented that… but it seemed Suigetsu took that a lot more personally.

"Will he ever be allowed to live peacefully?" asked Suigetsu, drowning some water before throwing the bottle against the window.

He paced the room, another bottle between his lips. He wasn't looking at Karin, more like talking to himself but letting her know what was bothering him.

"He has yet another vengeance! I know as a ninja he's doomed to lose precious people, but we're not even at war! It wasn't a dangerous mission either. It's just some assholes that wants his head, the same one that destroyed his life. It's fucking unfair! Do you even imagine what it cost him to come back here? In a village that betrayed him like they did? He even had to suspend his revenge on Madara for that… and that's what he meets… was it worth it?"

"He chose a painful way of life when he chose to be vengeful," replied Kakashi has he entered the room, his eyes skipping over Sasuke's form before setting on Suigetsu.

The water-nin turned fully to Kakashi, the latter had leaned against a wall, his perverted book in hand. Suigetsu pointed his bottle to the Hokage, knowing perfectly he had his full attention even if he pretended otherwise.

"Yes, he knew that when he went after Itachi, after Danzo but here! Here, he wasn't vengeful! Here he was just giving that crap Konoha another chance to be his home! He wasn't even plotting to get back at Madara… and that's what he gets. So don't serve me the "vengeance is bad" speech. It has nothing to do with it," replied Suigetsu, glaring daggers at the man his leader seemed to respect so much, seemed to trust and love.

"Enough," snapped a tired voice.

All heads turned to a wide awake Sasuke who was unceremoniously pulling out the IV and other medical equipment from himself. He let his legs dangle from the bed and carefully rose; a hand clamped on the bedside table. His body hadn't moved for a while and was a bit rusty. Dark fathomless black eyes locked with Karin's ones and she immediately offered her arm to him, letting him feed on her chakra so he would get rid of the last dizziness.

Now assured on his feet Sasuke made his way to Suigetsu, holding on his shoulder as he stole the water-nin's bottle and drank from it before tossing it back to him. Suigetsu took that as it was, a sign he still wanted them with him, that they were needed… and also a comfort sign, those fingers had been warm and gentle.

Finally Sasuke reached the immobile Kakashi. The latter had an unreadable face, his visible eye blank and emotionless, his tense lazy, back slightly bent. But the raven knew better, he had been with his sensei long enough to know better than let himself be fooled, he could see the emotions the man oozed. Even if he hadn't it wasn't hard to guess.

He met Kakashi's gaze and punched him so hard his head snapped to the side, a trail of blood wetting the dark mask. The silver-haired man could have easily avoided such a direct hit but had chosen to take it.

"It's not your fault," growled Sasuke, rolling his eyes in exasperation, "if I'm a vengeful moron you are a guilt ridden one," he pointed out.

Kakashi smiled. Of course Sasuke knew how he felt… and didn't blame him. It wouldn't make the feeling he could have prevented that from happening go away, but it lessened it, even if only a tiny little bit.

"What are you going to do?" asked Kakashi, Icha Icha paradise in his hands as he waited for an answer.

He pretended he wasn't looking at Sasuke getting dressed in his usual clothes but of course he wasn't missing a bit of it.

"Knock some sense into Naruto, then see Neji," answered the young man, trusting his former sensei to see exactly what those words meant.

And Kakashi didn't disappoint. Naruto was as guilt ridden as him, so would get the same treatment: punch, maybe full out fight. Then the vengeance part would start with Sasuke using Neji and his father to find the one who attacked them and see if he could climb back to the Root head. Of course the Uchiha had understood the power used on him and connected the dots together. He knew the men's leader had been a Hyuuga.

"Hiashi-san was worried about that and is disposed to help you as much as you need," mentioned Kakashi, letting him know that the whole clan wasn't involved and that the head feared him.

It also meant: don't go berserk on them, they are innocent. Sasuke smirked as he brushed past Kakashi, sending a heated glance to him, teasing. But the new Hokage knew he had been understood and would be taken into account. Sasuke was fair and seemed inclined to manage smoothly as to stay in Konoha.

As the raven was going to cross the door, closely followed by his two companions he stopped, not looking back. Kakashi didn't even wait for the question.

"He's in the mortuary; I thought you would want to dispose of his remains yourself."

"I will bury him with my family."

Kakashi clenched his hands. He had meant this much…

"If you open your mouth I will do worse than punch you," warned Sasuke before leaving to retrieve his fallen comrade body.

Neji hadn't been one bit surprise to find Naruto on his door step. He knew the blonde would come investigate even before Sasuke woke up, a way to tame his guilt, even if he had nothing to blame himself for. Neji wouldn't tell him that, only Sasuke could. Hence he just answered as best he could his friend's questions.

They hadn't been speaking for long when the Uchiha knocked. Now Neji was side stepping them while they beat the crap out of each other: their usual way of settling things. They had been going at it for a good half hour now, which wasn't really a good idea for Sasuke who had just been released from the hospital. Neji was starting to wonder if he should stop them.

He didn't have to bother, Hinata entered the room with a tray of food meant for him and Naruto and promptly dropped it. That stopped the both of them.

"I-I-I'm s-s-sorry!" stammered the timid girl, clumsily gathering what she had dropped.

She turned tomato red has Naruto rush to her, picking up off the floor all that had fallen and broke. Hinata was mopping the floor, trembling from head to toes.

"Fuck I'm sorry Hinata, I didn't mean to scare you," apologized the blonde, scratching the back of his head in embarrassment.

"I-it's o-ok"

She shook her head violently and went on at trying to clean the mess, freezing each time they so much as brushed fingers. Naruto was mumbling about inconsiderate bastards while she was gazing at him, blushing but a small happy smile on her lips.

Sasuke stared for a moment at the scene before glancing at Neji who shrugged then nodded at the raised eyebrow. So Hinata was still in love with Naruto that was interesting. The moron was too stupid to notice, especially since he had his eyes set on Sasuke and before on Sakura. Maybe this girl would be a good solution to help Naruto forget about his impossible love for Sasuke. Sakura was out of the question, it was too late for her, even if she loved Naruto now. Sasuke didn't feel she was a good choice for the blonde. He needed someone to trust him, to cheer him and boost his ego. Sakura was belittling him too much and they would always fight, it wasn't good… especially since Sasuke's shadow would always haunt them both. Hinata was a far more clever and good choice… if Naruto fell for her that is.

"You should go help her remake the tea," pointed out Sasuke.

"What? Why not you! You're responsible too!" screamed Naruto, bouncing on his feet.

"I'm the one who has business with Neji," replied Sasuke, arms crossed on his chest.

"Please do Naruto," asked Neji, hiding a smile as he noticed his cousin gapping at him.

Naruto growled and pouted but complied, taking the trail with the broken cups from Hinata and following her. The latter was trembling so much it was a miracle she still managed to walk. When the door slid shut on them, Sasuke rolled his eyes before smirking at Neji.

"She's been head over heels for him for years now, if the one Naruto is after is willing for him to fall for her, then I can only help," mentioned Neji.

He walked to the low table, sitting on the cushions there and motioning for Sasuke to do the same. The latter complied, kneeling in front of the table, well used to those typical Japanese interior and the rules that implied with them.

"I will gladly take your help then," replied Sasuke, not impressed that Neji knew about Naruto's feelings, the man was far from stupid.

Neji brushed off some imaginary dust from his clothes and decided losing time over formalities and such stupidity was useless. He was sure Sasuke wholeheartedly agreed with him.

"Hiashi-sama appointed me to be your guide in the Hyuuga estate. I can bring you to whoever you want to meet. We did some reaches but it's hard to uncover the traitor. All we know is that he's from the main family branch and has access to the seal; which doesn't narrow the possibilities all that much."

Sasuke nodded, he had thought so too. He had hoped they would at least have a clue but it seemed the Root was well prepared. They had implanted themselves perfectly.

"Who would you less suspect?" asked Sasuke.

"Hinata-sama and Hiashi-sama," replied Neji blank eyes amused at the angry look he received, "I am sorry but they are the only ones that I'm sure have nothing to do with what happened."

"I know, but who are the next you would less suspect? If the Root is that well implanted, they might be one of them, I will investigate those first," explained Sasuke, his head turning as he heard Naruto and Hinata coming back.

"I will need Hinata's help too," he said as the door opened, smirking as he was killing two birds with one stone.

"Of course, she will have more power than me," agreed Neji, smiling gently at his cousin as the latter nearly had a heart attack.

"Oh that's great Hinata! We will investigate together!" chortled Naruto, grinning like an idiot and totally obvious to what was being plotted.

Sasuke stared at the new tomb in the compound. All the others where rusty and full of vegetation, he would have to clean them a bit… the new one was like a sore spot, so bright and tidy. It felt wrong, especially since Juugo had loved plants and animals. At least he had found a nice spot under a tree and some bushes, making a small recess. Pondering for a moment the raven finally caved in and took earth and mud, covering the grave with it, rubbing so it would crave into the stone. It looked better now. Satisfied he left.

Suigetsu had insisted that they lived together from now on so they had moved. Sasuke had left the main house and the other two had left the house they used to share with Juugo. Karin had chosen a little but comfy place near the Uchiha estate entrance. It had been cleaned and readied.

Suigetsu and Karin had erased all trace of the people that had lived there before, moving their stuff to another house. They hadn't dared throwing them. They had moved the furniture around, had repaint the walls and so on. Now it was truly their house, and slowly it would be more and more as they lived in it and decorated it with the years.

As he reached the house, he lifted an eyebrow and went sidetrack, going to the estate entrance. He stared for a minute not believing his eyes. On the floor were baskets with food, dishes and flowers. It seemed some of the villagers had wanted to show their support or was it a way to bribe him not to go berserk on the village? He remembered as a child how they had left him to fend for himself. Even after all this time the memories were still painfully fresh, not even an old granny had come to help the seven year old he was suddenly on his own. It had been as if they feared that helping him would bring back the murderer to finish the job. Few even dared to look at him, only whispered about what a poor poor child he was.

Whatever the reason for these offerings, Sasuke chose to take them. It wouldn't do not to; he was supposed to reinsert himself. In a way he hoped it was because they felt guilty, after seeing the trial they knew all the truth, why he had acted. Some surely still didn't understand, some did and saw just how the village kept pushing him away.

He knew they didn't know all the truth about what had happened. The official version was some ninja had tried to murder Sasuke during the Chuunin exam and Juugo had lost his life during the fight. However the test had been validated. Fortunately not many had passed the test; hence they didn't have to make them fight against each other to select the one that would participate to the final trial. As usual one week was allowed for people to train, rest or do whatever they wanted before the tournament that would take place. Good thing, the Uchiha didn't plan to stay a genin all his life and he knew they wouldn't have waited for him to be back on his feet.

He entered the house, going straight for the kitchen to get rid of his burden. As he stepped in Suigetsu gaped at him, pointing to all the baskets and other things in his arms. Sasuke just shrugged, dropping everything on the kitchen table.

"Offering from the villagers," he explained.

Sasuke didn't have time to register that Suigetsu was already on him, pushing him away from the food then snatching his hands and looking at them closely.

"Karin!" he yelled, his voice urging.

The young lady ran to them, startled and worried.

"What's going on?" she asked Suigetsu, already starting to gather chakra to check on Sasuke.

"The villager gave us food, maybe it's poisoned, check him I will check the food," ordered Suigetsu, making complicated seals on the table to analyze the content.

Karin bit her lips and glanced to Sasuke, immobile and silent. However she complied, checking his vitals and making sure he hadn't been poisoned by merely taking the baskets in his hands. She didn't know if Suigetsu was over reacting or if she was the one underestimating the situation.

Sasuke looked at his team mate. He had taken up Juugo's role upon himself. The man would have had some animals discreetly check the food, Suigetsu wasn't as diplomatic. Karin was acting normal but always worrying on Suigetsu as if she was sure he was going to crumble any moment. He, had made sure the tomb was fitting, he had also craved Juugo's name on the stone Kakashi always visited, next to Itachi's name. They all reacted differently to Juugo's death. But all in all they seemed to take it as well as one could.

"Nothing to signal," informed Suigetsu, grabbing a bottle of water and sipping it, "what are we gonna do with all this food?" he inquired, leaning against the table, acting normal again.

"Eat it. Let's eat a cold meal tonight and put the rest into boxes for later," replied Sasuke, standing up to do so, "I will have to go report to Kakashi after dinner, if I don't keep him updated he might get troublesome."

Suigetsu just nodded and began to help along with Karin. Silence stretched until Sasuke slyly stole one of Karin's boxes and put it in Suigetsu's corner. Immediately the woman accused the water nin, calling him birds name for being a pain in the ass, which ensued with Suigetsu calling her a hysteric and the both of them launching into a fight. This was better and felt more like home, even if a silent comforting and benevolent presence was missing.

Kakashi had expected Sasuke to come make his report, he hadn't quite expected the young man to have brought dinner too. Good timing, he was worn out, not to mention looking at Sasuke cooking was a good appetizer. He was only dressed in a white short yukata and dark pants, a silky belt around his waist. As a good genius he had already taken all his marks in the small but comfy kitchen, he knew exactly where things where as if it was his own place.

Sasuke expertly flipped the last crepe over in the frying pan, waited a little then let it slide on the others in a small plate. He grabbed another plate, with three buckwheat crepes with ham and cheese inside, then the place where he had just left the normal crepe. After taking some sugar for the desert crepe, he place all in front of Kakashi, kicking the man’s leg that was propped up on chair. The grey haired man chuckled at that.

Sasuke turned to the worktop, starting to clean it. It was funny to see how even in cooking he was tidy. He had dirtied the kitchen a bit, you couldn't do otherwise, but even without an apron he was spotless, only the worktop was messy. As he wiped the place and put the dishes into the sink he began making his report.

Kakashi ate silently as he listened to the raven explain what he had gathered and his plans. He couldn't help but mentally laugh at how Sasuke was planning to throw Naruto in Hinata's arms. He had to agree it was a good idea but it scared him, showing him further proof that Sasuke had no intention of giving up on him.

It was unnerving to see how gentle Sasuke was even if, as usual, it was so subtle most would miss it. During the whole meal he had evaded looking at Kakashi, busy cleaning dishes or making tea. He had done so to leave him eat in peace, so he wouldn't have to hide his face all the time while eating. It was a heart-warming attention. However Kakashi had cut his mask so Sasuke didn't have to bother so much.

"Are you happy now? I've been a good boy?" asked Sasuke, irony dripping from his voice as he turned to his sensei, smirking.

"As long as you're not hiding a body in your cupboard," replied Kakashi, his eye twinkling as he watched Sasuke bring him tea.

His heart skipped a beat as he saw the raven stumble; in the blink of an eye he had gripped his shoulders. Sasuke glared at the fallen dish towel that had tripped him, then he looked up straight into Kakashi's eyes and caught his breath. He could feel Kakashi's fingers holding him a little too hard; his visible eye was darkened by anxiety.

Kakashi knew he should let go but he just couldn't. He had nearly lost Sasuke, Root had almost killed him. Once again he had been powerless and he was scared. He loved the young genius and so he couldn't bear the idea of losing him… He had lost too many people already, their faces haunting him.

Overcome, Kakashi knocked the towel out of Sasuke's hand, not minding as the tea pot and cup dropped to the floor, shattering. He gripped the raven's nape and took his lips, forcing his way inside. His other hand had found its place on the young man's ass, pressing his pelvis to his, locking him in his embrace as if it would protect him from the outside world.

Immediately Sasuke laced his arms around his neck as he opened his mouth, surrendering, letting Kakashi devour him. He moaned as he was unceremoniously pushed against the table, soon lifted by strong arms on it. He was now sitting on the edge, Kakashi rocking against him, never leaving his mouth, nibbling, biting on his lips, kissing softly or deeply. Sasuke was answering eagerly, moving in time with his former sensei. When a hand closed on his clothed erection he gasped in pleasure, spreading his legs, arching his back.

"Kakashi," he whispered, his nails pulling on the dark material that covered the strong back, preventing him from touching that scared skin.

After truthfully having ravished Sasuke's lips Kakashi finally moved to his jaw and neck, having the raven gladly tilting his head to give more access. In the meantime he was expertly undoing Sasuke's pants, stroking him.

The latter slightly parted his lips, trying to calm his breath. His half lidded eyes were locked on Kakashi's nimble fingers, only the tip visible as the rest was adorned by the old black gloves with the shimmering piece of metal. It made him tremble in desire, each touch voluntary or not, making him crave more. God, he had waited for this moment. He had known his sensei would be skilled, he had tasted it already, but he was still amazed at how much that statement was true. Slowly he blinked as he remembered that first time Kakashi had touched him…

"Stop," he ordered, his fingers closing around Kakashi's hand that rubbed him so pleasantly.

As simple as that the spell broke. The gray haired man froze on the spot, what he had been doing fully registering in his mind. He tried to move away but was stopped by the harsh grip on his hand and a slender leg behind his back. Kakashi looked very much like a trapped animal. He had let his emotions, his selfishness take the better of him. He had told Sasuke to get lost and now he was sending mixed signals. He was going to disappoint him, to hurt him… as he always did. God, Obito had to be turning over in his grave at how Kakashi still didn't get it and kept messing up.

Sasuke growled to catch Kakashi's attention, frowning at what he guessed crossed his sensei's head. He didn't know what had happened to mark Kakashi like that, but the man had to stop blaming himself for everything and stop thinking that his best wasn't good enough.

"I just want to make sure you're not pitying me. If you intend to jerk me off and drop me…" he let his sentence trail, his meaning perfectly clear.

Kakashi couldn't help but smile at that, his visible eye curving in amusement. At the same time he felt a pang of guilt, he had been the one to injure Sasuke with his hesitations. Again, he was misleading the young man… he just didn't have a strong enough resolve. He shook his head, stepping away from Sasuke. It was a bad idea; he should never have let himself slip like that.

Sasuke was eyeing him, fascinated by the fact he could see Kakashi's lips outline a smile. It was so strange to be allowed to see those lips, even if the rest of the man's face was still hidden. Then he saw him pull away and frowned. It was evident the man wanted him, craved him… loved him… yet he fought it so hard. This time Sasuke wouldn't let him run away, he had made the move; he wouldn't have stopped if Sasuke hadn't wanted to make sure he wasn't going to be thrown away like a petulant child again. He didn't want Kakashi to indulge his whims just to make him stay in Konoha; he didn't want the man to feel obligated. However his reaction showed it wasn't that.

Slowly Sasuke slid from the table, standing in front of this former teacher. He gave a jerk, letting his white kimono flop down behind him, revealing his body. He saw Kakashi's eye drink every bit of this view before forcing themselves to look at his fathomless black eyes. Not breaking their gaze Sasuke lowered to his knees, his fingers ghosted on the man's hips before settling there, a hand defiantly moving to unzip the blue-dark pants. A gloved hand, the fingertips rough with callus, touched his.

"This is what I want Kakashi," assured Sasuke, not stopping his advances.

He shouldn't let Sasuke do it. If he was a strong and serious man he should stop it now. Sasuke was too young, it was too dangerous for the both of them… because of the village and also because they were going to hurt each other. They had scars that would never heal and were only going to add more. Kakashi had always failed… had always been weak… that's why instead of pushing him away, he let his fingers plunge in the dark silky mane of Sasuke's hair and pushed him forward as his former student finally pulled down his far too tight pants and brief.

Without hesitation Sasuke took the man into his mouth, forcing his throat to relax as he tried to push it all inside. He chocked and felt Kakashi's hand gently pull him away.

"Easy Sasuke, you have a gag reflex. The tip and the blood vessel under are the most sensitive, just play on that," instructed Kakashi, his voice perfectly neutral.

Obediently Sasuke began licking at the tip, trailing his tongue under the pulsing flesh. He eyed his teacher, trying to see how it affected him but the man had his poker face on, even if the cloudy puff of hair escaping his lips gave an indication.

"Good…use your hand to stabilize," advised Kakashi.

The raven did so, finding that it indeed made giving a blowjob easier. He knew he was a bit messy, it was his first one after all. He shivered as he felt the slightly rougher grey hair tickle his hand.

"Ahh yes… perfect…"

Kakashi's musky scent was deeper here. Carefully he teased the soft skin under, touching the bags there, fondling them. At the same time he was licking, bobbing his head, making sure to touch all the sensitive places and minding his teeth even if he teasingly let them trail a bit from time to time.

"Yes, just like that… good… very good…" praised Kakashi, his hand guiding the raven, urging him a bit then slowing him down, showing him what he wanted.

Sasuke let himself be leaded, growing more comfortable by the minute. He loved how the slightest change could make Kakashi hum in pleasure. The raven felt insanely proud as he noticed the man had leaned against a chair. He worked harder, deep throating him from time to time.

"Slower… yes… a bit faster now… good…"

Sasuke enjoyed being drowned in this musky scent. A finger on his chin made him release his treat, black eyes locking with a stormy one. Still directed by that single digit he rose on his feet and tilted his head as Kakashi kissed him deeply.

Kakashi cupped Sasuke's cheek, his thumb caressing the pale skin. How had he managed to seduce such a fiery young man? He had his trust, his obedience, his love. He didn't deserve it. He pulled away, caressing until the last moment the soft skin. He turned his back to this dangerous avenger and walked to his living room, smiling sadly as he felt Sasuke follow.

"Kakashi?" murmured Sasuke, suddenly looking his age.

Kakashi sighed. He was really too weak. Stopping under a patch of moon light, he tugged at the half undone belt and in a ruffle Sasuke's kimono and pants cascaded on the floor, leaving him in only a pair of underwear. He knew Sasuke was watching him as he took in all the curves, muscles, the scar-less porcelain skin that almost seemed to glow under the pale light.

Daring hands snaked under Kakashi's shirt, gliding on his flanks, on the rippling muscles of his stomach. Sasuke was smirking as he pushed the pants and brief completely down, Kakashi stepping out of them. In a smooth movement he took off his shirt and threw it on Sasuke's head, loving the scowl it put on the raven's face. He was too busy being amused to evade the younger man tripping him. Not trying to catch himself he collapsed on the plump carpet next to his couch.

He chuckled as Sasuke kicked-nudged him until he lay on his back. Mirth left him for lust as the young man, totally naked and aroused, settled on his pelvis, his legs either side of him. Delicate but deadly hands were mapping his body. First they took off the head band, revealing his sharingan eye, tracing the scar but no questions were asked. The mask was caressed but otherwise left alone. Kakashi couldn't explain what it meant to be accepted and respected like that… how he hadn't even feared Sasuke would try to uncover his face. The teasing fingers went down, on the Adam apple, the strong neck, the broad shoulders where scars could be found. Each of them was gratified with a lingering touch, as would the one on the toned chest, on the side. His body thinned slightly to his hips where the hand stopped before moving back up, settling on his chest, brushing the nipples there.

Kakashi lifted his gaze, until then focused on Sasuke's hand dance. He didn't need to discover the pale body. He had been watching him for years, noticing the change, how it had gotten slender and stronger. He loved the narrowed hips, the sleekness of his form. Slowly he dragged his knuckles along the Sasuke's side, making goose bumps appear on its wake. He had kept his gloves on, knowing the raven liked it.

"Are we going to stare at each other the whole night?" asked Sasuke, lifting an eyebrow, his fingers tapping in amused boredom.

"I didn't know you were in a hurry," drawled Kakashi, still slowly caressing Sasuke's skin.

"No it's just you being lazy," retorted Sasuke, smirking, "and I have people to kill you know," he added, rocking his hips and shivering at the electric contact of both their desire rubbing against each other.

"Ah then I should take my time, as Hokage you know…" purred Kakashi, stopping the raven's torturous movement by gripping his ass.

"Is that your crappy apology for being late even in sex?" groaned Sasuke, leaning on Kakashi to capture his lips in a languid kiss.

The latter laced his fingers around Sasuke's nape and nibbled his ear before whispering huskily in it.

"I'm a late ejaculator too."

Sasuke gasped less at the words than at the lubed fingers that had plunged into him. Of course the pervert would have some lube under his couch; Sasuke had been too busy to notice. Kakashi looked perfectly composed as if he wasn't lying on his carpet, a horny Uchiha on his laps and two fingers moving inside the raven's entrance. It pissed Sasuke off, because he wasn't composed, but it turned him on too.

"Ahhnn Kakashi," Sasuke pushed back, making the digit go deeper into him, moaning, "finally," he groaned, "for a pervert I found you pretty quiet," smirked the raven, not planning to let Kakashi win.

Kakashi grinned and added a finger, moving them to prepare Sasuke; all the while searching for the spot that would make Sasuke mad with pleasure. Already he was shuddering in bliss.

"Funny for a virgin I found you pretty daring," retorted Kakashi just as he found what he aimed for.

Sasuke's eyes widened as his body jerked, unconsciously pushing Kakashi's fingers deeper into him, straight on his prostate. He had thrown his head back; his fingers curling on Kakashi's chest as he rolled his hips, meeting the fingers inside him.

"Ah! Ahnnn Hnnn fuck ahhhn!"

Kakashi drank in the sight, not losing a drop. Sasuke withering in pleasure, lips parted, body seemly burning up was a breathtaking sight. Gently Kakashi let his free hand leave Sasuke's ass to stroke the raven's leg, lingering on his thigh.

"Ah yes! Ka-Kakashi… ahnn."

The feel of the old leather had drove Sasuke even deeper into his ecstasy. His eyes had briefly closed but were back on Kakashi. He panted harshly, eyes fluttering close when Kakashi touched deep inside him.

"More," he moaned, hands sliding on Kakashi's chest and side, making slow teasing circles that soon turned into soft scratching.

"Not yet," advised the grey-haired man, smiling softly.

Sasuke groaned but complied, letting Kakashi do as he pleased, preparing him. He leaned forward, claiming a kiss that soon turned almost violent in passion as did the many following. They both fought for dominance, Sasuke biting when Kakashi, in his laziness, surrendered a bit too fast.

At last Kakashi pulled out, wiping his fingers on what had to be a discarded Hokage robe. He grabbed Sasuke's hips, stilling them, his thumb gently caressing the soft skin. He still couldn't believe Sasuke had a fetish for his gloves, but it was undeniable that it turned him on a lot. He was shivering at each stroke; Kakashi could almost see the butterflies flying from his lower abdomen to his spine as sparks of electricity.

"Sensei?" whispered Sasuke, as he rolled his hips, moaning softly.

Youngsters were so impatient… Kakashi took his manhood in his right hand, lubing it then stabilizing it, wiping once again his finger on the robe. He put his left hand on Sasuke's lower back, pressing him down gently, guiding him toward his pulsing flesh.

"There, slowly," he instructed.

Kakashi stopped pressing down when Sasuke's cheeks were parted, the head pushing at his entrance. Immediately the raven stopped moving, his eyes moving from Kakashi's chest to his eyes, waiting for directions, just as he did during training so many years ago. The former Jounin couldn't help it; he chuckled at Sasuke's unaware cuteness.

The latter lifted an eyebrow, wondering what the hell was going on, why was Kakashi looking so damned amused? It ticked him off, because he suspected that it was at his expense. He glared and Kakashi gently pushed him down, he followed the lead, Kakashi stopped, Sasuke complied. Kakashi grinned, Sasuke caught on. His left eyebrow began to twitch in annoyance, only making his former sensei smile even more.

Sasuke growled and pressed down harshly, pushing Kakashi inside him, the tip entering him, making him wince just a bit. The grey-haired man moaned deeply at the sudden pleasure, sending a shiver of excitement down Sasuke's spine. He had a profound voice, a bit hoarse and the feel of his leather clad hands pressing on his skin made it even better. Sasuke looked down defiantly, smirking at his former sensei as the latter pulled himself together.

"Easy, you will hurt yourself," advised Kakashi, his eyes curving as he slightly smiled.

"Kakashi," groaned Sasuke in exasperation.

The man was getting on his nerves; he hated to know how well his former sensei knew him and how easily he could manipulate him. In vengeance he contracted his muscles, Kakashi letting escape another deep moan as the already tight hole closed on him. Gosh… and he wasn't even all the way inside.

"Relax," ordered Kakashi has once again his hand pressed Sasuke down.

The latter groaned but complied, slowly moving down, feeling Kakashi's manhood enter him, parting him. The man stopped from time to time, checking if he was fine. Had it been anyone else but the lazy pervert, Sasuke would have simply slammed down just to prove he wasn't fragile. As it was, he trusted Kakashi to know what he was doing and not underestimate him. Kakashi had never been easy on him, which was partly why Sasuke respected his commands. The man had always known how far to push him, he understood him eerily well.

Finally after an agonizingly slow but pleasing descent, Sasuke was fully sited on Kakashi. He was breathing hard, moaning from time to time. It felt… indescribable to have the man inside him, filling him up. He felt the gloved hands wander on his thighs and realized he had closed his eyes. Opening them he looked at Kakashi. Was it hard for him to prevent himself from moving? It had to be, he could see the sweat beading along Kakashi's hair, how he seemed relaxed but wasn't. Sasuke leaned on his hands, resting on Kakashi's chest. He could feel the hard flesh slide inside him.

"Ahnnn gods…"

Breathing hard Sasuke slammed down, gasping as he was filled to the core once again. He glanced at Kakashi who simply moved his hands up to the raven’s hips, enjoying the shudder that shook the slender body. Understanding the wordless command, Sasuke lifted his hips, almost having Kakashi pull out completely before he thrust back down. Not waiting for more guidance, Sasuke began moving up and down, throwing his head back each time he took Kakashi all the way in. Restrained pants escaped him, getting louder as he increased the rhythm, his fingers curling on Kakashi's chest.

"Ahhnnn Hnnn Ahh."

Kakashi let Sasuke move as he pleased, his fingers lingering on his ass as he watched the young man learn how to please his body, learn pleasure. He was so lost in it he didn't even notice Kakashi observing him. It was an incredibly arousing sight, not to mention the raven was hot and tight, his muscles spasming in his ecstasy. It was getting harder and harder not to move, not to slam that gorgeous man against the nearest surface and ravish him.

"Kakashi ahnnn," moaned Sasuke, his fathomless black eyes locking with the mismatched ones.

This was the last straw; Kakashi grabbed Sasuke's hips harder and slammed him down as he thrust forward. Sasuke screamed his pelvis bucking as he squirmed in bliss. Visibly he loved it rough and Kakashi hadn't missed how it made the raven shudder when he almost pulled out before going back in, filling him up completely.

"Sasuke," called Kakashi, his voice shaky.

His former student smirked down at him, clenching around his trapped flesh and enjoying how it made Kakashi jerk inside him. Chuckling, the grey-haired man let his hands roam Sasuke's body, caressing, stroking, making Sasuke squirm and moan as Kakashi's hips kept thrusting in time with the raven's rhythm.

"Ahhh! Kakashi, gods…Hnnn…"

"Roll your hips," advised Kakashi, pushing on the raven's stomach to guide him.

"Hnnn! Ahhh! Ah! K-Kakashi," moaned Sasuke, swaying his body as he moved up and down faster and faster, obviously closing in on his orgasm.

Stroking down from one of Sasuke's nipples, Kakashi finally touched Sasuke's manhood, knowing full well that it would throw him over the edge, especially with his gloved hands. Sasuke's eyes widened as the tingling heat in his stomach suddenly spread to his whole body making it tense. He arched his back as a scream was ripped from his throat, his head tilting as his orgasm washed over him, his hips pushing down in an erratic rhythm at the same time trying to met Kakashi's pleasing strokes on his manhood.

"Fuck! Ahhhh! Kakashi! Ahnnn!"

Sasuke's inside clenched around Kakashi, making him impossibly tight. Grunting in bliss, Kakashi thrust up faster and faster, his hand sill moving on Sasuke, milking him, prolonging his orgasm. Kakashi stubbornly fought his own ecstasy, keeping his eyes open and on Sasuke. He refused to miss the elated expression on his former student face, the way his whole body had contracted, arching in pleasure as he came.

He watched as Sasuke, still fully sited on him, hunched over, breathing hard, trying to regain his composure. His fingers were twitching on Kakashi's chest, his legs shaking either side of him. Finally storming polls of endless black met his. Using his clean hand Kakashi dragged him down, kissing those parted lips, enjoying the moan that escaped Sasuke at the attention and the fact Kakashi's manhood had moved inside him.

Deepening the kiss Sasuke caressed his sensei's chest and met a sticky substance on Kakashi. Pulling back he looked at the mess he had made on the man and on himself. He frowned, rising slightly but being stopped by a strong hand on his lower back, pushing him back down almost harshly. It sent a shiver of remaining pleasure in him, which Kakashi didn't miss as Sasuke glared at him.

"Don't move," replied Kakashi at the silent question, or more likely reproach.

Smiling his usual unnerving smile, eyes curving, Kakashi presented Sasuke with the robe he had been using earlier to clean. As Sasuke's eyebrows rose, the former jounin shrugged. Grabbing a bottle of water from under the bed, he used it to water his plants, he dabbed a bit on the robe and processed to clean his stomach up, as well as his hand, trying to take off as much as he could from his leather glove.

"You do realize you're using a Hokage robe as rag, right?"

"Yup," replied Kakashi, taking Sasuke's hand and cleaning it, before winking as he clean another part of Sasuke's anatomy, making him shudder and groan.

That's when Sasuke realized something was off. He could feel Kakashi inside him, he wasn't soft. Hadn't he come? He knew he had, he could feel Kakashi's essence in him, the simple thought sending shivers down his spine. Not knowing how to ask, Sasuke let his fingers trail on Kakashi, half hoping to distract the man.

"What should I do to improve?" he finally wondered, pretending to be busy cleaning his already perfectly spotless fingers on the robe.

Kakashi blinked at the unexpected question. What was he speaking about? A jutsu? Why out of the blue like that? Pondering a bit more he noticed the red dust on Sasuke's cheeks. A blush? Whoa that was rare! It all clicked in. Sasuke thought he hadn't been good because Kakashi wasn't totally soft. He chuckled mentally at such cuteness.

Rising on his elbows Kakashi carefully began to move in order to have his back against his couch. He bent his legs so Sasuke could lean on them.

"Mmmhhmm," mumbled Sasuke as each movement made Kakashi move inside him.

He jerked as he felt a tongue enter his ear, tracing the cartilage there, teasing, sending incontrollable shivers that only made him more conscious of the organ resting in his body. Who could have thought an ear was so sensitive? Panting he loosely draped his arms around Kakashi's shoulders.

"You were wonderful Sasuke," murmured the grey-haired man, nibbling on his ear, "I'm not only late, I can cum more than once and stay half-hard," he explained moving to Sasuke's jaw and neck, smiling as the latter tilted his head to give him better access.

"Not only do you have the mind of a pervert, you have the body too," pointed out the raven, his voice surprisingly controlled, a small smile gracing his lips.

Kakashi laughed, pushing Sasuke against his knees and starting to kiss his collarbone, his fingers wandering on his stomach and chest, making the abs quiver, soft moans escaping Sasuke. The grey-haired man was making sure the old battered leather of his gloves caressed the soft skin, he even made the cold metal on top of them grace the heated skin from time to time, enhancing the sensations.

"Ahhnnn Kakashi… it feels so good," whispered Sasuke, totally abandoned at Kakashi's ministrations.

He hadn't realized but he was massaging Kakashi's shoulders and his hips had began rolling again as he slowly grew hard. Moans poured from his lips as his former sensei ravished his nipple, still lavishing his body with attention.

"Sensei?" he called.

"Yes?"

"More…"

"Anything you want Sasuke."

Snaking an arm around the raven's slender waist, securing his other hand under the round ass, Kakashi rose from their sitting position on the floor. Instantly Sasuke tightened his grip on the broad shoulders, his legs automatically closed around the strong waist. Soon his back and the beginning of his ass touched the couch, a mouth was distracting him, nibbling, biting, kissing the junction of neck and shoulder.

"Let go," demanded Kakashi.

Sasuke obliged, letting his body slump down on the thick couch, his legs dangling either side of Kakashi, he would have fallen hadn't the man been here, still buried deep inside of him, a hand on his ass as if to make sure he wouldn't fall. Half-lidded eyes concentrated on the masked face when gentle fingers caressed his cheeks. Sasuke couldn't help but glare at the man who was staring at him with so much love mixed with intense sorrow.

Kakashi watched as Sasuke followed his command with a blind trust, his name leaving those perfect lips unconsciously. Had you asked him, Kakashi would have said Sasuke was more the silent type, you would have to work hard to make him allow you to hear him. It seemed he was sorely mistaken if all the delightful sounds he’d heard so far were any indication. Of course one could say he was an outstanding lover, which wasn't far from the truth if he believed his previous lovers, but still… Sasuke was a stubborn, proud man.

It was mesmerizing to see him submit so easily, trust, even if he was still on his guard in a certain way. Kakashi knew he could be killed in the blink of an eye if Sasuke wanted to. Now what Sasuke had told him about Naruto made sense. With Kakashi the raven could be himself, he didn't have to prove himself, to fight as he would a rival, he didn't need to be strong, there was no competition. He knew Kakashi didn't underestimated him, knew his limits, he trusted him because he had been his teacher, had been the one to make him grow.

They had been hurt by life in ways that most people couldn't even begin to understand. They had quirks, injuries, moods that would never fully leave them- things that people would have difficulty dealing with. Kakashi just knew it: like with all the others he was going to hurt the avenger, give him another deep wound that would never fully heal but would still make him stronger. Despise all that, he just couldn't stop. And to see the young avenger so trusting filled him with love, self deprecation and intense sorrow. Gently he touched that beautiful face, hoping to touch the beautiful soul hiding behind the carefully constructed walls.

As fast as it had come, the moment went, with Kakashi turning back into his bored perverted character. He smiled at Sasuke's glare, only earning a more heated one as he curved his eyes. Gosh, he loved pushing the raven; it was always fun and cute to have him react. Sasuke opened his mouth; Kakashi closed it with a kiss.

Before his pissy lover could argue he pulled out of his tight hot body, only leaving the tip of his manhood against the entrance. Sasuke's head had fall back, but he was still watching him from the corner of his eyes, accusing him. Kakashi grinned, winked and slammed back in.

"AHHNN!"

Visibly his angle was dead on. Not giving Sasuke time to pull himself together, he placed the long and strong legs on his shoulders, then he laced his fingers with Sasuke's and leaned, this way he had enough strength to pull out almost completely and thrust back in as deep as possible.

"Ahn! Ahhhnn!"

Sasuke's head was rolling from side to side as he screamed in pleasure, Kakashi mercilessly fucking him into the couch with fast and long thrusts. Kakashi had let Sasuke discover sex, learn his body's reactions, his desire. He had shown him love making, tender. Now he was letting his lust and his passion take over. He knew Sasuke loved it rough, he would also love to be tided up to a bed and taken, but that would have to wait for the raven to trust him even more, to allow him to strip him completely of his control.

"Kakashi, faster," demanded Sasuke, panting and bucking his hips.

Grabbing Sasuke's hips, lifting his body slightly, Kakashi increased the rhythm, roaming in and out without pause. Sasuke was arching on the couch, hands clenched on the pillows as he writhed in ecstasy, screaming in utter bliss.

Kakashi felt his orgasm close in at Sasuke's sight. To have him squirming under him was too much, that delightful voice ringing in his ear in pleasure was going to be his downfall. Kakashi started pounding faster, moving Sasuke's body to meet him, grunts escaping him. Finally he slammed in a last time and empted himself deep inside, his pelvis jerking.

"Kakashi!" called out Sasuke, closing his eyes as he spasms, coming as he felt Kakakshi release inside him.

Dazed Sasuke didn't even react when Kakashi pulled out, dropping his legs from his shoulders and stroking his hips, almost apologetically as he surely had left marks. Sasuke blinked slowly, mumbling as Kakashi kissed him, he was feeling drained. He snorted when Kakashi used once again his hokage robe to clean up their mess.

"You have to rest now Sasuke," advised the grey-haired man, smiling as Sasuke rolled his eyes but settled on the couch nonetheless.

Kakashi picked up the discarded clothes, the Hokage robe and went to dump it all in his washing machine. As he left he heard Sasuke call him, his voice thick with soon to come sleep.

"Kakashi, if you plan to run away from me now I will just hunt you down," warned the raven, smirking.

Kakashi smiled as usual, eyes curving. He wanted to run, truly, but at the same time he wanted to take this chance. They had both wanted that to happen, Kakashi should have denied himself such pleasure but now that he had fallen, the least he could do was to take responsibility and do his best to make it work. The problem was until now it had never worked.
