Getting out of the bathroom and wrapping a towel around her, Kushina made her way to the balcony of her bedroom. She perched herself and absorbed the sweet scent of the night. The moon was full and beautiful, but somehow it made her depressed.

"Minato…" she whispered softly. She felt so alone when he wasn't there.

"You called?"

A blonde figure appeared upside down, out of nowhere, a few inches from her face. Her parents were sleeping but she couldn't help but scream and fall on her butt. Quickly realizing her mistake, she took her hands to her mouth, to shut herself down.

Minato was hanging on the roof, but seeing he startled her, he got down and apologized.

"Sorry, you're just so fun to scare," he said with the smile she adored.

"You'll wake my parents, ya know!" she silently shouted, feeling nervous.

He was sitting on the balcony, suddenly looking at her intently. "I just wanted to give you a good night kiss."

Kushina blushed and sighed. "Okay, okay, one kiss is enough, right?"

He just smirked, and made a sign for her to come towards him. She got up and started walking forward and as soon as she was face to face with him and her lips touched his, he grabbed her by the waist and slid his warm tongue into her mouth. She tried to stop him by pushing him away, but it was useless because, as always, his hold was too strong. Eventually, Kushina gave up and responded to his passionate kiss, by grabbing his blonde hair at his nape. When Minato noticed that she was almost out of breath, he slowly stopped kissing her, and gave her a little space to breathe. Kushina was panting already and her face was flushed as he looked her in the eyes, suddenly serious.

"What's the matter?" she asked.

"I missed you," he said as he gently stroke her beautiful long scarlet hair.

"Me too.," she whispered.
