The campus was dark; the only source of light was the lights in front of the dorms. The only sound was the traffic from the interstate, the only form of life was the wind. Everything was still. But in one part of the campus, away from all the buildings, two people are fighting.

One, a woman, dodges as the other, a man, throws a punch at her. The woman spins a kick at his head, but he grabs her foot. She jumps up, kicking with her other foot, and this time the kick lands. He lets go of her foot, but quickly recovers. He then kicks at her, but she jumps back. She looks at him, a small smile on her face.

"Either I'm getting good," The woman said. "Or you're getting old, Tachi-kun." The man smirked at her, and moved quickly. And before she could blink, he has a kunai against her neck.

"You shouldn't underestimate your enemy, Sam-Chan." His breath was hot against her skin, sending shivers down her spine. "You know that." She rolls her brown eyes and turned around to face him. His crimson eyes glaring at her.

"You worry too much."

"And you don't worry enough. Orochimaru is looking for you and you don't care." She backed away from him and shook her head.

"Of course I care. All of you are riskin your lives for me. And if one of you dies, it'll be all my fault." The tears that she tried to hold back ran down her face. She turns away from him, not want him to see her cry. "Why do you think I asked you to train me? I want to be able to help yall, instead of watching yall die!" She buries her face in her hands.

Itachi walks up to her and turns her around. He pulls her hands off her face, and lifts it so she is looking at him. "Sam, I love you. We all care for you, and are willing to risk our lives for you. I would do anything for you." He wipes her tears away, and kisses her. She closes her eyes, and wraps her arms around his neck. When they break for air, he rests his forehead on hers and stares into her chocolate colored eyes. He was nervous, this was the first time he said he loves her. But she just smiles at him, and says,

"I love you too." He sighs a sigh of relief, and then pulls her into a passionate kiss. Sam opens her mouth when he slides his tongue over her bottom lip. Itachi loves the taste of her mouth. It tastes like the fruit and peppermint that she ate before she met him. She moans when he rubs his tongue against hers, and when he leaves her mouth, she lets out a small whimper.

Itachi breaks the kiss, and smirks at her. She opens her eyes and sees his wonderful, sexy, irritating smirk. Sam sighs, turns around and heads back to the dorm rooms. Itachi walks behind her, grabs her arm, spins her around, and kisses her again. She smiles, and breaks the kiss.

"I have to go," she whispers as she backs away. "Are you coming tonight?" He just nods, and walks with her to the edge of her building. Then they go separate ways, Sam through the front door, Itachi through her open window on the second floor. She walks up the stairs to her dorm, and walks into the living room, where her roommates, Mandy and Tiffany, are sitting on the couch watching 'The Girls Next Door'.

"Where've you been Sam?" Mandy asks.

"I went for a walk," Sam lies.

"Mmmhmm… Not meeting any boys are you?"

"No. I'm goin to bed. See yall in the morning."

"Night," They both said. Sam opens the door and sees Itachi laying on her bed. She walks in, changes her cloths, and climbs into bed with him. She cuddles up against him, and he wraps his arm around her, and kisses her head.

"I love you," she says sleepily.

"I love you too." With that they both fall asleep in each others arms.
