He had her pinned to the wall of his office. His lips didn't dare leave her's. One hand was resting on her hips with the other cupping her cheek.
She hooked one leg around his waist and pressed her forehead against his as she broke the kiss they were sharing. They both needed air.
"Minato-kun… don't you ever scare me like that again." Kushina placed one hand on his shoulder while she ran the other through his damp hair.
Kushina had to leave Konoha and return home from her mission. 'Argh! Why the hell did I let myself get so attached?! I knew I'd have to go home after I got the information I needed.' She was already past her time limit to be back in Whirlpool and couldn't afford to delay her return any longer. What she had to do now was to find her favorite blonde and explain that to him. She wasn't looking forward to it.
He found her sitting on the river bank, her knees pulled up to her chest sporting a frustrated expression.
"What's got you so bothered?" He asked, sitting down behind her and allowing her to lean back into him.
"This isn't fair." She stated bluntly.
"What isn't?" Honestly, Minato had no clue what she was talking about.
"I won't be here to see you become Hokage."
He chuckled lightly and twisted his arms around her waist.
"You don't get it, do you?" Her temper had always been short but normally she wouldn't have bothered to try and explain.
Minato could have figured it out on his own had the possibility ever crossed his mind.
"I don't know if I'll be able to come back. I have to go back home in the morning. I was suppose to be back last week but… damn it, you distracted me!" Kushina snapped, this wasn't in any way easy for her.
He was caught slightly off guard by her words. "You could stay here if you really wanted to."
She untangled herself from him and turned to face him. "Are you seriously asking me to leave my village just because you happened to catch my attention?!"
"Huh… I was under the impression I did more than 'catch you attention'." He teased.
Denying that would be a lie. Kushina didn't have a defense for that. "Don't see what it would matter now… You'll be busy enough soon anyway so maybe this is for the better."
That stung. He shook his head. "I'm going to need the distraction from work so its not."
"You'll have plenty of other people to help with that. I'm no different than them."
Another verbal hit below the belt. "Not true."
She raised an eyebrow then sighed. "Don't start with the 'you're selling yourself short' crap. I know myself better than anyone."
"True but I know one thing you don't seem to understand."
"Oh really? What is that?" She asked, rolling her eyes.
"You're mine. The same way you know full well I'm your's." He said too casually.
She hadn't expected that in the least. Her thoughts wouldn't come together long enough to form a sentence before he had her sitting in his lap, tilting her chin up to his face. She felt his lips press against her own. A few seconds passed before she responded. Her eyes fluttered shut as she kissed him back. No blush stained her cheeks, it felt too natural for that.
A slight smirk formed as the kiss ended. "That could have gone over badly but then again it was you so I can't be too worried."
"Over confident prick." Kushina pecked him on the nose and sighed. "I don't want to go back."
