Anko's POV

this night is such a horrible night , my heart felt as if someone had ripped it off my chest , no wait as if some stabbed it then ripped it off my chest , then stepped on it ...ouch.

this so sucks , me sitting on my bed and complaining my head off is not going to get me anywhere , oh well i guess maybe the pain would help stop the nightmare that had been hunting me ever since that snake bastard came , the only times when i would sleep peacefully is when...when i was with ....kakashi.

i woke up the next morning , no nightmares thank god , after i dressed up i went to the hokage office for my mission , at least maybe then i could concentrate on the task rather than thinking of useless things.

its a weeks long mission something about taking out missing swamp-nins.
oh well , better get going.

just when i was walking out the office i saw kakashi headed towards here , he looked at me and stopped on his tracks , i didn't say anything i just continued to walk away , he wasn't following me he was just staring until i was out of his sight.

i sighed , and started to make my way to the swamp village , hope it won't be too troublesome.

the mission was a success i completed it it with ease it took me less then a week , after i reported back to the Godaime i saw Gai walking by , he stopped and talked with me for a bit .

i heard the news of sasuke leaving to join orochimaru , and i only thought of one thing or one person 'kakashi'.
i wonder hows he taking it.

i was walking to the memorial stone , there he was standing stoically not moving a muscle , just gazing at the stone, i moved my foot closer by i went to hide in the bush but i stepped on a twig and it let out a sound i looked at him and and hope he didn't hear it , but he was looking at me .

his eyes was full of pain, it showed clearly like an open book.
he kept looking at me , you could see it in his eyes that he wanted me to come to him to comfort him , but with me being stubborn i didn't go to him , i moved out of my hiding place clearly its no use now , i looked at him again then turned my back to walk away , after i took two steps i felt something on my shoulder , i didn't turn and just touched it , it was a hand , i tilted my head slightly , he was looking at me pleading me with those eyes not to leave him.

i couldn't say no to that , i turned my body around to his direction he took off his hand and we gazed at each other , he then came closer to me and snaked his arm around my waist and pulled in a hug.

i was surprised at this but shrugged it off as i hugged him back , he needed someone to comfort his pain , and i really can't stand seeing him like that , so i just let it be.

i spent the night at his house , comforting him as much as i could , we didn't talk to each other or said a word at all, i was sitting at the couch and he was laying in my arms as i hugged him and stroked his hair gently.

i looked down at him he was asleep , slowly i got up and held his head then took a cushion and placed it under his head then i went to his room and took his blanket and covered him with it , i stroked his hair one more and kissed his forehead , i stood up to leave when i felt something cought my hand stopping me , i looked back behind me , he was awake and from the looks of it he doesn't want me to leave , i came back to him and leaned down , i planted a small kiss on his masked lips , his eyes crinkled up which meant he was smiling ,i smiled back , he let go of me and went back to sleep , i slowly and quietly wore my trench coat and opened the door then left , he didn't stop me i guess he wasn't feeling upset anymore , maybe its because of the kiss that took away his sorrow.

i started heading off to my place and tonight i didn't have nightmares at all.
