Author's Note:

'ello 'ello everyone!! My writer's block looks like it might be beginning to crumble. I was able to churn out this drabble a little while ago and also work a little on the new chapter for "Of Ears and Puffy Tails". I'm just about halfway through writing that new chapter, but it's been slow going. I had gotten to a point where I would flip flop and restart and rewrite it part way through because it wasn't coming out like I intended or I would lose my focus on the path I was taking and lose sight of what I was doing. So have patience for a little while longer please…

Selfish Need

A soft greenish-blue glow provided the only light in the dark room. Sitting silently on the edge of his bed, Kakashi watched the young woman in front of him work, her face showing her deep focus on the task at hand.

As his eyes roamed over her delicate features, his gaze always seemed to be drawn to her soft pink lips, currently pursed in her concentration with the tiny hint of her tongue sticking out the corner of her mouth.

As the glow of her chakra faded and the warmth as it left his system, recede, Kakashi looked up to meet beryl eyes watching him in return.

A warm breeze ruffled the curtains in the window, allowing the silvery moonlight to briefly flood the room. Kakashi watched the conflicting emotions race across her expressive face before the wind died and plunged the room into the darkness once more.

Sensing her shift beside him, his breath hitched when he felt her petit hand caress his cheek. Gasping at the feel of her lips ghosting over his naked ones, he sighed when he felt her press her body to his and wrap her arms around his neck.

He shuddered in her arms when he felt her trailing light kisses along his jaw to his ear. Encircling her with his arms he rested his head on her shoulder. Turning his head slightly, he quietly listened as Sakura whispered in his ear.

"Don't ever leave me…promise me you'll never do anything as stupid as that ever again…I can't lose you…"

Tightening his hold on her, he kissed the juncture between her neck and shoulder.

"Promise me…"

Pulling her onto his lap, he trailed a hand through her glossy pink hair to stop and curl his hand along her cheek and jaw.

Looking into her pain filled eyes, he knows that he would never be able to keep such a promise. He knew that the life of a shinobi was always lived in peril, never knowing if you'll come back from your next mission. Though he knew he was good at what he does, he knows that all it takes is one moment of distraction, one moment of weakness or carelessness, will close the book on your life.

"Please…"

Though knowing all that, he knew he would try his hardest, just to make sure he could hold her in his arms another day.

Touching his lips lightly to hers, he whispered before claiming her lips fully.

"I promise."
