One Cold Winter Night

Authors Note: Okay so this is just a random Naruto Fanfiction that I came up with after watching through the whole of Naruto (from series 1 to 9) in the space of 4 days, hence I don't know how well this has turned out due to the fact that I'm practically a zombie right now (lack of sleep is not good). This was meant to be for a story with my own characters but after watching the Naruto series it just seemed to fit.

Disclaimer: I do not own the characters from Naruto, however I own the idea.

I watched her as she stopped swimming finally, standing up in the shallow end of the pool, the water glistening in the moonlight, as the water slowly travelled down her exposed skin. Her arms came up to her hair, as she pulled the long blonde locks in front of her as she began ringing some of the water out of them.

Finally I couldn't stop myself from calling out to her from my position sat on the roof of the small temple, with the moon at my back, making my feature to be silhouetted on the cold black night.

"Shouldn't you wear a bathing suit when you go swimming in a pool?" I called out across to her as I turned my face back to looking up at the brilliant night sky.

The tents of my sleeping comrades rustling in the cold breeze that blow across the ground, as she turned her head up towards me, her hair flowing behind her as the wind started to rise higher.

"How long have you been up there for?" She said slightly shocked, yet making no attempt to hide anything she was showing off in the dim light. "And shouldn't you be sleeping instead of playing peeping tom?"

I couldn't help the chuckle that escaped my mouth. "I haven't been peeping, I've been up here since the sun began to set, and maybe you shouldn't assume that just because it's night time that everyone will be asleep. However, I do guess that it means you haven't changed any, have you?"

"Stop hiding up there and come down, let me see your face." She demanded as the last part of my sentence finally sunk in.

Effortlessly, I jumped the short distance down to the ground as I kneeled down in front of her. "It's nice to see you again, Lady Yamanaka. It's nice to see that you are looking well."

"Sakura? What are you doing here?" She said shocked as she rushed over to me, as I stayed kneeled down. "I thought you died."

"Nope, malady I simply just needed to disappear, your father never did like me." I said not wanting to bring my head up because of the fact she was still completely naked and she probably didn't realise.

"Oh, he made you leave didn't he? By the way, you can stop calling me 'malady' and just call me Ino please, as you can see I ran away from the kingdom, I didn't want to be a princess if I didn't have my knight in shinning armour by me side."

"Very well then, may I stand up now, and are you sure you still realise that you are still naked right?" Even without looking up I still could imagine the blush that must have crossed her face as she moved away to grab a towel while I stood up with my eyes closed.

"You can open your eyes now you know." As I did I saw that Ino was once again back in front of me looking me straight in the eyes, even with my slight height difference she was still able to look me square in the eye. Looking her over once again I noticed that she was now covered in nothing more a flimsy towel that still called temptation to rise in my body.

"So, you said you ran away, but who was this shining knight that you missed so much?" I asked as I looked into her eyes, while my hand came up and stroked her arm gently.

She shivered lightly, whether it was from the cold breeze or from my touch I don't know. "You should know the answer to that question anyway. It's you; you've always been my knight in shining armour. It's why my dad, hated you, I'm his only heir and he wanted me to carry on the family line, but it's not my fault that you are the one I want to be with."

"Well, think about it," I said as I stroked her arm one last time before moving my hand up to her shoulder and rested it on her neck, while doing this I took a small step forward closing the distance between us. "You're here with me, outside of the kingdom, you're not a princess anymore and I'm not you're knight. For the moment, we're just two people and nothing is standing in our way."

As my face started getting closer to her own a slight blush came over her cheeks but she did not turn her head to hide it, instead she keeps staring straight into my eyes with a certainty that she wanted this. There was no wavering desire in her eyes, everything I needed to know was right there she wanted me and there was nothing that was going to get in her way.

Moving a piece of hair out of her face, I finally gave in to my desire and kiss her subtle lips sweetly, using this first kiss to explore her lips and mouth gently and fully, now that we were finally together there was no need rush things.

Finally breaking apart for air, I looked again into her slowly opening eyes and see the passion that was starting to burn deep within them. Bringing her lips back to mine she kissed me with a passion I never knew she had for me, the pleasure the kiss caused nearly made me fall over with the force of it.

Regaining my composure I brought my arms down from her neck, skimming them over her skin, causing the towel to fall to the ground as my hand continued to travel down until it came to the base of her spine. Noticing her shivering at the contact I took the opportunity to take control of the situation, while she started striping me of my clothes.

As we continued our actions, I felt the gentle breeze, wash over my increasingly warm skin; the contrast only adding to the pleasure we were both feeling as we lay there on top of one another besides the pool side.

It was a long night that we had ahead of us and everything that happened that night would be staying between the two of us, you never know in this world who you can trust, especially when you're in love with a princess.

Okay, so hope you guys liked it and I hope that you can all R&R for me thanks very much.
