Sai/Kagome- Kinda bittersweet, but Sai does NOT come naturally to me. :(

"Maa. Not another black and white drawing!"
Sai glanced up at her from his spot in their apartment, beside the window with his sketchpad. His model moved from her seated position on their bed to stand next to him. A glance down at the picture showed a half drawn sketch of her sitting, her eyes looking utterly bored as they stared past the artist.
"Did you want me to get colored pencils?"
Kagome sighed as she leaned her head against his neck, her arm draped over his shoulder. She gently took the sketch pad from him and flipped through it, showing many other, entirely done sketches of her in various activities, from cooking to showering.
"You're always watching me aren't you?" she murmured, smiling when he nodded promptly.
"Why do you always watch me? And why do you only see things in black and white?"
Sai stared at his girlfriend in confusion.
"I don't see in black and white. Why would you think that?"
Kagome flopped down onto the bed again, flipping through the near photo-like sketches of her lazily.
"You only draw in black and white. Why don't you try painting sometime?" she asked lowly, almost falling asleep in the warm humidity of the Konoha summer.
"What would I paint? You are black and white," Sai said flippantly, and she turned to level him with a intenst stare.
"How am I black and white, exactly?" she growled, causing him to sigh and move to kneel beside the bed.
"Your skin is white like ivory and your hair is as black as the darkest night. Only your eyes, as blue as the deepest sea, and your lips, the palest of rose petals, have color," Sai said quietly, gently taking back the sketch pad while she gazed at him sadly.
"I can't tell if I should be wooed by your sweet words, or sad, because I know that none of it has any sort of meaning to you," Kagome said softly, making him give her a slight upward twist of his lips in amusement.
