I woke up to the soft sounds of crickets and the crackling of a soft fire. I sat up wearily, rubbing the sleep from my very tired eyes. I saw darkness surrounding me which lead me to believe it was night time. I yawned a little and got the attention of someone who I believe was watching over me while I slept. The dark-haired shinobi who was shirtless was easy to recognize as his face glowed in the orange-red flames of the fire.

"I see you are finally up," he said to me walking closer.

"How long have I been asleep?" I asked.

"Three days."

"WHAT?! THREE DAYS?!" I screamed and instantly stood up only to have a wave of nausea hit my body. Dizziness spread throughout my body from my sudden movement and groaned as I sat back down hard on the ground. My hands touched the ground beside me, but instead felt soft cotton. I looked down and saw it was sasuke's shirt lying on the ground beneath me. Turning my gaze back to Sasuke, I watched as his pale body was glistening in the glow of the fire, his abs suddenly sending a warm sensation down my spine.

I looked away embarrassed and lifted my butt up to retrieve the shirt from underneath me. It was still warm as I brushed my hands against the fabric to remove the dirt that made its way on it. The cold, crisp breeze blew over to me and I felt a pang of guilt in my heart. If it was cold for me than Sasuke must have been freezing

"Here Sasuke," I said walking over to him. I handed him the shirt and he carelessly put it on. I looked away while he did it, but even without looking I could feel myself blush.

"So have you been watching me this whole time?" I asked him while trying to make the blush go away.

"Hn," he replied.

'Something isn't right...Wait! Where is my team?! Was Sasuke watching me alone for three days?' I thought.

"I mean..I'm grateful and everything, but I know you have a job to do and watching me is just a burden" I stated softly.

"I just wanted to make sure you were alright. I couldn't just leave you out here unconscious where you could be attacked," he said not looking at me.

"Oh." An awkward silence filled the air and I turned all my attention over to the fire. The red-orange flames crackled into the black night sky. Its warmth was helping minimize the cold feeling, but every now and then a cold breeze would come by and make me shiver.

"You should get some rest," Sasuke said finally after what seemed like an eternity.

"How come?" I asked politely.

"Tomorrow morning we will start to move forward and hopefully, find your teammates," he explained.

"Okay," I said back to him and walked over to the tree I woke up under and laid down once again. The fire that was once burning was now being extinguished by Sasuke before he walked towards my direction. He laid down a good distance away from me and turned to his side so I could only see his back.

"Night," he muttered though I could barely hear it.

"Good Night, Sasuke," I replied back. Looking up at the sky I searched through the treetops for some stars and saw some which shined brightly through the dark canopy. The horrible breeze blew by again causing me to shiver once more. I turned over to my side, but still couldn't shake off the cold feeling.

Suddenly, strong arms wrapped around my body pulling me towards another body. This little act allowed me to warm up quickly as the other person's body heat was combining with mine. I turned my face slightly to see Sasuke's onyx eyes, the same color that matched the darkness surrounding us. He smirked a little and I felt heat rush to my face. Roughly he pulled my body closer to him making sure there was no gap between us and I turned my face so I could control my blush. The blush that had appeared on my face darkened and made my breast tingle leaving me almost breathless.

"We can't freeze out here, now can we?" Sasuke whispered into my ear with a bit of a smug tone. I nodded, but didn't turn to see his face because I knew that all I needed to see was a glimpse of his face to make the blush return.

"You and your sister are two very different people," he said breaking the temporary silence that fell upon us.

"I would hope so," I said with a little laugh in my tone.

"Your sister has been in love with me since as long as I can remember. She was always so annoying and never left me alone. Even to this day, she is still like this, but you're different. All the other girls in Konoha or any other village for that matter would instantly 'fall in love' with me. You are the first girl who didn't though," he explained to me. I sat there quietly, not knowing what to say. I felt as though my rib cage held a tiny bird inside it and the bird was fluttering about. I was speechless and didn't want to ruin the moment.

His warm breath tickled my neck as his hand caressed the long, silky-ness of my hair. My face turned toward him and he stared deep into my eyes. Then like slow motion, his face inched closer to mine causing my heart to start beating faster.

His lips captured mine in a very soft kiss. His lips were so soft, like a feather and the kiss was so innocent, but nevertheless, it still stole my breath away. I closed my eyes and deepened the kiss by wrapping my arms around his neck, pulling him even closer to me. His tongue glided over my bottom lip asking for entrance into my mouth. I gladly accepted this gesture and his tongue prodded and explored my mouth. My tongue did exactly the same to his mouth.

We were grasping each other hard and everything around me seemed to float away and cease to exist. His body and mine could have easily been mistaken as just one body and my ribs ached from the pressure of being pressed against his body.

He then broke the kiss suddenly and I looked down. My head found the nook of his neck and I instantly fell asleep. But before I drifted off into my safe haven of sleep I swore I heard Sasuke whisper something.

"Night, beautiful (Y/N).
