Summary: The relationship of Kakashi and Sakura.
I don't belong to any forum with drabble ideas, so I asked my sister to write down a couple of random words for me. So voila, here they are!
Ear
There were explicit rules against this kind of thing; students and teachers weren't meant to be together, not in this sense, anyway, but Sakura was having trouble remembering this shinobi rule of conduct as Kakashi's skilled hands gently brushed her pink hair away from her face, exposing an ear that immediately drew his hot, soft lips to it.
Hands
His hands may be large and calloused and may have borne the blood of hundreds, but they are always warm and gentle against her bare skin.
Tears
With Kakashi, there is no need for tears; he goes out of his way to make her feel welcome, from moving all of her furniture from her apartment into his own without her being aware of it to giving up a spare drawer and mirror for her clothes.
Bathrobe
His gray, wool bathrobe always hung on the hook to the left of Sakura's pale green one.
Mud
There was one afternoon when, after he insulted her poor precision in senbon training, Sakura finally lost her patience with Kakashi's sometimes aloof behavior and sent a pile of mud at his face. Sasuke and Naruto were there to witness the event, and soon, all of Konoha's shinobi population had heard about the incident because the mud actually managed to hit the Copy ninja's face.
Season
It had been exactly five summers since Naruto was made Hokage, but it was also their anniversary of finally breaking the rules and moving in together. "Screw Konoha," she had giggled as he slammed the door behind her and immediately drew her into his embrace.
Yield
"I yield," he teased huskily, holding her tightly against him, "Have your wicked way with me, love."
Tomorrow
There was never a tomorrow for shinobi, especially not as the Godaime's Apprentice or the legendary Copy Ninja, so "tomorrow" was a subject that Kakashi and Sakura never mentioned. But they hoped for it nevertheless.
Marry
He never actually came out and asked her to marry him; he merely took her answer for granted and sent of invitations to the wedding before Sakura had any idea what was going on. However, she found that that alone was romantic, in its own way.
Coffee
She found it odd that he took his coffee black, while hers was the complete opposite, with lots of cream and sugar. He had laughed at her observation and said, "At least we'll never confuse our coffee."
Sound
The steady sound of his heartbeat at night is the only thing that can calm Sakura down after a traumatic shift at the hospital.
The end!
This was a nice change from my little one-shots. I'm actually working on a full length story right now, entitled "The Mission From Hell" but since the SATs and my AP tests are on the horizon, school is eating up all of my free time. The first chapter is done, but I don't want to release it just yet. Just a little while longer, I promise!
Thanks to all of you Narutards who have stuck with me! You will be rewarded!
