I took this down from my other account, and am now posting it on this one. My other account is Rain Falls So Do Dreams.
I don't own Naruto, this applies to all four oneshots.
It isn't often that she thinks of him, truthfully, her days are too filled with the commotion of the hospital, or the urgency of a mission to be bothered with time to just relax, and remember.
So her days are filled with stress, lots of it, and the the moment her head hits the pillow it's as she's out like a light--but never completely, she's a kunoichi, and kunoichi have to be always aware.
It is in her sleep she remembers him, what she saw of him,--a young boy, easily mistakened for a girl, a fighter, far too willing to die as a tool--and of what Naruto had told her of him--a kind boy, hated for his blood, a boy with much misery and suffering in his past, and still smiled.
Mostly she remembers the last time she saw him, a smile on his face, blood trickling down his lip, eyes closed, his 'master' besides him.
It is then, in the hidden comfort, in the safety, of sleep, that she admits she loves him, where only she and her memories can hear.
