Ninja

Ninja was their day job and their night job too. Ninja was the air they breathed and the food they ate. Ninja was their life, and eventually their death. Ninja was what they knew.

Dedication

Whether they had dedication or not was inherent to their survival; they had hard work.

Hurt

Being hurt was a natural part of their occupation. However it wasn't often that they had to learn to get up and get over it.

Mission

Missions control their lives, how much they get paid, what they're ranked. It was nice that Iruka worked in the mission's room, but not to nice that Kakashi was the one that went on missions.

Necessity

What they carried in their survival packs was necessity, they had to learn that they couldn't include their love in there too, no matter how much they'd wanted too.

Adoration

He wouldn't call the little gifts he got cute, like the Icha Icha paper weight, but he did adore them. Secretly.

Glove

Gloves were a natural part of the ninja uniform, but they remembered to take them off when they were home.

Window

It was funny when Kakashi surprised Iruka by jumping in through a window, and it was really funny when Iruka nailed the windows shut.

Stone

It was a stone that drew him to the past every morning, but it was the touch of a manthat told him his future every day.

Death

It was part of their job; they had to deal with it.

Life

They both considered the gift of life the rarest and most fulfilling.

Shuriken

Sometimes the instinct and the shuriken too flew just too fast to see who exactly gets attacked.

Scars

They both had scars. They both got the concept. They both screwed up and moved on.

Stars

It was nice to watch the stars at night. It was cliché but they could always count that they were watching the same ones.

Water

It was loud, and free to move, and just sometimes leaves really enjoyed the feeling of freedom floating on water.

Rebirth

It was a breath of fresh air, and it was a leap of faith. Love was indeed a rebirth.

Passion

They could always thank passion, and Kakashi's libido, that they were brought together.

Freedom

They didn't technically have much freedom, but together they took as much as they could.

Chains

Sometimes, in the light of a bright moon, you can see the other's past. Manacle marks are a frequent nightmare and sometimes ghosts just can't fade.

Anonymity

Not many knew, it was inherent that many should know, but they knew that couldn't, shouldn't, and wouldn't keep it that way for long.

Thanks for the time you took to read these themes of mine; I'd appreciate a review on just what you thought of them.

Thanks,
