A/N: I give you ROMANCE! Yeah, I like Sakura with Kiba best at this point, and in this drabble they are married. Yup. Go married ninja.
Kiba likes it when Sakura stands beside him. He can smell her scent, heavy, sweet, sharp, and best when she's near him, though he can catch it weeks old on her pillow, or on anything she's touched. When she's away on her long missions every time he catches a phantom whiff of her scent his gut twists, and he wants her so badly he could scream. When she's in Konoha and he smells her, he smiles and goes to find her.
Kiba likes it when Sakura breathes right over his ear. She likes to do that. She whispers in his ear, or just breathes on it. Maybe, Kiba thinks, she's smelling him. Maybe all the time she's spent around him and Akamaru has made her more scent oriented. In any case, Kiba likes the feel of her breath on his ear. It makes the hair on the back of his neck stand up. It makes him smile, which is no surprise. A lot of things about Sakura make him smile.
Kiba likes it when Sakura sings, even when she's off key. That's how she wakes him up when she gets up before him. She sings her heart out in the shower, and he always wakes up. No matter the song, no matter the tune, he wakes up with a feeling on contentment. Sakura's where she should be, close enough for him to touch. He usually goes and sings with her, even though he's usually more off key than she is.
Kiba likes it when Sakura fights. He likes to see her moves, fast and sure across the fields. He likes to know that she can't be beaten. He like to see her muscles glistening with sweat, and smell the feral lust for battle rolling off her. He likes to feel her chakra loaded punch brush by his cheek, and tackle her to the ground, knowing he's the only one who ever gets her down anymore. She's the best there is now, even if the testosterone fueled ANBU she works with won't admit it. She kills and heals with those black gloved hands of hers, and no one does either better.
Above all, Kiba likes it best when Sakura lives. He likes it when she screams and runs down the street just because she can. He likes it when she wanders around the house in his clothes, unconcerned with who might look in a window, or what he thinks. He likes it when she bullies idiots into being smart, and kisses the boo-boo's of war veterans. He likes it when she's crude enough to make her ANBU boys blush. He likes it when she's brash enough to make everyone cringe.
He likes it when she's Sakura Haruno, and she can never be anyone else.
