Sometimes She Just Wants to be Loved

Chapter 9

Sakura POV

I carry pillows and blankets from my room into Kakashi's room while he sets up the TV. When he finally says all done I run into the kitchen to grab all the things we bought at the store today. I set them on the table beside the bed as I climb in and wait for Kakashi. He fiddles with the DVD player a little before finally getting the hang of it.

He gets into bed next to me and we make ourselves comfy. I lay so that the back of my heads on his chest while we're sitting up. There must be ten pillows on the bed, and they make it nice and cozy. I feel content, and warm, it's nice to feel this way. Maybe we won't need the vodka after all.

"So what are we watching first?" I ask, he didn't tell me any of the movies names, and now I'm curious.

"Uh, I think it's called The Exorcist or something like that, it's supposed to be really scary. But I don't know." He laughs and I like feeling the way it vibrates through his chest.

We settle in to watch, and half way through the movie I'm ready for it to be over. Kakashi's got his arms wrapped around my shoulders, and I've got my face hidden in his chest. Every time I look at the screen I have to hide again. Kakashi's eyes are glued to the movie in a sick fascination.

By the end of the movie I'm watching the screen again, but I'm still hanging onto Kakashi for dear life. He pats my hair, but never seems to take his eyes off the screen. I'm a ninja, and that movie scared me worse then anything ever has before, I never want to watch another horror movie.

I pick up the remote with my shaking hand and turn off the TV and DVD player, and we sit in silence for a few minutes. Kakashi takes a deep breath and looks down at me. "I don't think I want to watch anymore movies." I tell him, and he laughs a little but shakes his head in agreement.

"I think I want a drink now." He says and I reach over to grab the bottle and shot glasses I have sitting out. I miss his warmth the second I sit up, but I return to it as soon as I grab the stuff. "I'll pour." He says taking the vodka and a glass out of my hands. He hands me a shot, and fills his own.

"To friendship" I say and clink my glass against his, he echoes me and we both down it. I want to laugh, this is so weird, I'm in bed with a guy and we're drinking on Valentines Day, that's so beyond weird. He fills us up again, and I reach back to pull down his mask. "I don't think you need that to drink with." He smiles and leaves it down.

"To never being possessed." He says and I echo it, we both smile as we down our shots.

We clink to everything we can think of, the dogs, our house, pillows, blankets, Genma, anything and everything till we hit the bottom of the bottle. "Well that's disappointing." Kakashi slurs and I laugh. "I'm kind of tired though… Maybe we should go to sleep?" he says it more like a question and I nod and try to get up, but he tightens his arm around my shoulder. "You're to drunk to walk to your room, stay in here; it's no big deal right?"

I smile at him. "No it's not big deal Kakashi." We slide down under the covers and get comfortable. He's on his side of the bed and I'm on mine, we're not touching and I miss it. But within minutes I'm passed out, and Kakashi's deep breaths echo mine.


Kakashi's POV

This movie isn't right on so many levels, I'm a thirty four year old man, and I want to hide under the covers like a five year old. But something keeps me staring at the screen the whole movie. I feel Sakura move, she hides her head against my chest through some parts, and I wrap my arm around her shoulder tight. By the end of the movie I don't want to move, and I really don't want to be possessed… Ever.

Sakura says she doesn't want to watch anymore movies tonight, and I agree, I don't think I could make it through another one.

"I think I want a drink now." I tell her and she sits up to grab the stuff. I feel cold and exposed for the few seconds her body isn't touching mine. But she settles back in and I pour us our drinks.

We toast to friendship first, and then as I'm pouring the second shots, Sakura turns and pulls down my mask. "I don't think you need that to drink with." She says with a sly little smile. Our next shot is to not ever being possessed. We keep toasting till the last drop of vodka in the bottle is gone.

I say that I'm kind of tired, and that I think we should go to bed, she agrees and goes to get up. I didn't realize that going to bed meant she would leave. I tighten my grip around her shoulders. "You're to drunk to walk to your room, stay in here; it's no big deal right?" I slur out, I hope she stays.

"No it's not a big deal Kakashi." She says, and I smile. I like the way she says my name, it sounds nice coming from her. We settle down into bed, getting comfy with our absurd number of pillows. I miss holding her as she falls asleep on the other side of my bed. But I close my eyes and lose myself to my dreams before I can think anymore on it.

A few hours later I'm awakened by the sound of crying and the feeling of Sakura moving around in her sleep. I sit up and look over at her, the moon light from the window makes her look beautiful, even with tears rolling down her face. It looks like she's still asleep, but I'm not sure what to do. I move closer to try and hear what she's mumbling.

"Please… no… Ino… please…" I wonder what she's dreaming about, and I think I should wake her up. I shake her a little, and she stares at me with wide shocked eyes. Then she dissolves into tears, I lift her up onto my lap and hold her while she cries. I want to ask her what she was dreaming of, but I don't want to make her talk about it.

When she stops crying I push her hair out of her eyes and give her a little smile, something to let her know I'm there. She gives me a weak smile back and her eyes start to drift shut again. I lay her back down on the bed and go to move back to my side, but she sits up and grabs my hand. "Kakashi, will you please… Hold me?" she asks, and she looks like she's ready to be rejected. But I move back over to her and press my chest to her back. I put my arm around her waist and she puts her arm over mine, I like the way this feels. She sighs and I feel her breathing become deep and normal. Snuggling into her I let myself fall back asleep.

Even though it was an Anti-Valentines Day Party they were having I thought the fluff was cute. I hope you enjoyed it! I'll try and post tomorrow, but if not, the day after for sure. Please review =]
