Hi again, I'm wasn't sure if this is going to be the last chapter or not, but if it's not don't expect the next one any time soon.

There's nothing worse than kissing in this chapter, so for any young one's, don't worry too much.

I don't own Naruto.

His house still smelled like her, he was hit by it as soon as he opened the door. He could hardly stand it, his entire apartment reminded him of her. Even the way the blind were closed to block out the light.

Sighing, Kakashi made his way to the bedroom and dumped his things from the mission on the floor before going to take a shower. He wanted to be back by Gin's side as fast as he could, but he thought he should take advantage of being home while he could.

In a short time he was changed and ready to leave. He was just about to pull on his Hitai-ate when he heard his front door open and someone step inside. He picked up a kunai and walked slowly to the door of his bedroom.

There she was, the dim light illuminating her just enough so that he could make out her features. Her beautiful large eyes and full lips, her slender, graceful form. Gin was awake, she was all right.

"Kakashi-san," she said softly, he could hear the relief in her voice and see the way she relaxed when she was around him. But he was too shocked to pay attention, he could think of nothing but her. He had known Tsunade hadn't expected her to wake up.

"Gin," he breathed, unable to move. He dropped the kunai as he traced her silhouette with his eyes, wondering if she was really there or if her appearance was just his mind playing tricks on him.

Gin smiled, one of the first real smiles he had ever seen her give, if it was possible, she became even more beautiful. Her eyes sparkling in the dim light. "I woke up a few hours ago," she said softly. "Shiranui-san told me that you and your team had left on a mission, so I thought I would come home and wait for you. I didn't think you..."

She was cut off when Kakashi rushed forward and pulled her into a tight hug. She could feel his arms shaking as he pulled her against his chest.

"Oh gods," he whispered, his voice shaking as much as his arms, it sent a thrill through her body just to here his voice again, and so close. "I thought I had lost you. I was so afraid that I would never see you again," he tightened his grip slightly. "When you left I was so worried. The only thing that kept me going was the thought that maybe I could bring you back, maybe you would be all right. Then I saw you fighting Pein and I almost couldn't stand it, I was so afraid you wouldn't survive the battle. After, I sat by your bed for days but you never so much as moved..." he trailed off, breathing hard. Not wanting to think about her like that.

Gin hugged him back, a little startled by his display of affection. She had never seen him so worked up before and she had never felt something this intense, not even her anger and thirst for revenge had ever matched what she was feeling for the man who had his arms around her. It was scary and exciting at the same time.

Kakashi ran his hands over her back and shoulders, then moved them to her neck and through her hair, as if making sure that she was really there. Once he was satisfied that she was solid and not just an apparition, he hugged her tight again, resting his head on her shoulder.

"Kakashi-san?" Gin said nervously, letting down her emotionless shield, it had become so hard for her to keep it in place around him anyway. "Are you..."

Suddenly she felt his masked lips against her neck as he brushed them across her skin, then he brought his head up and kissed her cheek softly, sending another thrill through her body. Slowly he drew his lips away from her cheek and kissed her forehead tenderly, then the side of her nose. She shivered slightly, she was nervous, but she didn't want him to stop.

"Thank the gods you're all right," Kakashi whispered as his mismatched eyes gazed into hers. He was hardly able to keep the emotion out of his voice. He had been so afraid for her, afraid that he would loose her before he had even told her how he felt. He had wanted her for some time and now she was here, safe with him. He kissed the corner of her mouth lightly through his mask.

Kakashi reached a hand up and traced her jaw line with his finger, brushing it across her full lips. Gin closed her eyes and sighed. Then he did something he wished he had done before she left. He pulled down his mask and slowly pressed his mouth against the corner of hers. She turned her head and he brushed her lips so lightly she felt as if he had run a feather over them. She sighed in response and slowly, nervously, wrapped her arms around his neck, as he drew her closer to him and pressed his lips more firmly against hers.

He ran his hands aver her stomach and around her waist, causing her to sigh, parting her lips slightly. Without really thinking, Kakashi responded by slipping his tongue inside her mouth. She opened her eyes in surprise, but didn't pull away. Instead she tilted her head slightly, letting him run his tongue over hers. He tightened his grip, trying to pull her closer.

After a few minutes they broke apart. Gin took deep breathes as Kakashi trailed soft kisses down her neck and across her collarbone. She ran her shaking fingers through his soft , silver hair, making him shiver. He kissed the base of her neck and moved his hands across her back. She did the same, running her hands over his muscular stomach and chest.

He groaned softly, pushing her back against the living room wall gently and pressing his body against hers. "I have never felt like this about anyone before," Kakashi said softly, looking into her mismatched eyes. "The way I feel about you scares me," he took a deep breath. "I love you Gin-chan. I have for so long, but I didn't realise it until you left me."

Gin was smiling, the most beautiful smile he had ever seen. "I...I love you too Kakashi-kun," she whispered back, unsure of her words. She had no doubt about how she felt, but she had never said those words to anyone before.

He words sent a tremor through Kakashi's body. He kissed her more passionately this time, holding her face in his hands, his body pressing her more firmly against the wall.

"Now that I have you back," he said. "I'm never going to let you go again."

This one was very short, but I think I'll write at least one more, just to finish things off a little better.

Please review. I would like to know what you think of my first ever fic. As I've said before constructive criticism id more than welcome. I'm always happy to here how I can improve my writing.

Thanks as always,

Kwin.
