AN: For what you're about to read to make much sense you'll need to read this. Saeko is a character I invented. Basically she's a female ninja with purple hair and ice blue eyes. You'll find out about her special jutsu in a later chapter, all you need right now is the basics.

I quite like this fanfic but please let me know what you think in a review! Read and review if you could.

Disclaimer: I think this is fairly obvious but I don't own Naruto. I own a plushie version of Naruto and Gaara, but the anime and manga are definitely not mine. If they were don't you think I could have actually just put these ideas in a few episodes? Yeah, I thought so.

Saeko stood waiting by the window staring out at the moon. The clock read 11:59 as her spirits began to fall. Still, she hoped tonight would be different than all of the others.

Every night she waited until just after midnight, hoping Kabuto would come. He had promised her that one day when it was safe, he would stop working for Orochimaru. He would come to her at midnight and the two could finally be together.

Saeko had known all about Kabuto's history with Orochimaru (Kabuto felt so connected to her that he couldn't help but tell her everything) but still felt like she needed him. Every time they parted she felt immense sorrow. They'd be able to meet once a year, as Kabuto kept going back to the Chuunin exam. Saeko had graduated years before, but going there was the only time she got to see Kabuto, and even that was only once a year.

A chiming of the clock signified that midnight had arrived. Saeko sighed and left her spot at the window as she heard a faint knocking at the door.

"Saeko?" A quiet voice from behind the door asked.

Saeko walked to the door, turning the knob slowly before pushing open the door.

"Kabuto," Saeko said softly, standing completely still for a moment before rushing into his arms.

The two held each other close for a while before stepping into Saeko's apartment.

"You came," Saeko said her voice barely a whisper.

"I promised I would," Kabuto said as he stroked the back of her hand, "Did you doubt me?"

"No," Saeko said immediately, "But with every day that passed I began to loose hope. What if you had tried to stop working for Orochimaru but he wouldn't let you? What if… what if he killed you?"

"Hush," Kabuto said, caressing her face lightly, "I'd never let that happen. I won't let there ever be a time when we need to say goodbye."

She smiled at his kind words; in the moment all she could do was believe him.

He pulled her close and the two shared their first kiss in almost a year. It felt so innocent yet it invoked a fiery passion in both of them.

Quickly the kisses became longer and deeper, losing their original innocence. Kabuto's tongue entered Saeko's mouth swiftly causing her to release a soft moan of pleasure.

Slowly the two walked towards Saeko's bedroom, still lip locked, unwilling to break apart for even the short distance.

She lay down slowly on the bed, letting him plant soft kisses along her exposed skin. She tugged at his shirt, not wanting there to be so much fabric between them anymore. He pulled the shirt over his head before pausing briefly.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Kabuto asked.

A faint smile crossed Saeko's face as she nodded.
