It's strange how your most powerful thoughts come at night. Well, for me they have and once again because of them I am kept from my sleep. I suppose being outside is better than lying in bed just tossing in turning and keeping him awake.


Right now I stand on the small bridge that serves as our team's meeting spot each day. Something about this spot just calms my mind. The way you can barely hear the water below moving in small waves. The endless sky above with millions of stars, too many to count.


I sigh lightly and rest my head on my arms which are on the rail of the bridge. My life has taken so many twists and turns over the past few years, it's amazing I'm still alive. Of course, I have people at my side, watching my back, so I really have no worries right? I shiver a bit at this thought, Sasuke's near death coming back to me at full force.


My eyes close as I try to push the memory away. I never want something like that to happen again, why think about it? Haku was right, you fight your strongest when you have someone precious to protect. I didn't realize it until I understood why I was pushing myself so much. I had someone I wanted to, no, I needed to protect.


I hear footsteps near me but I don't bother to turn around, if I was in danger I would know it. I'm not that dumb anymore. Two arms slowly wrap themselves around me from behind while something lightly rests on my shoulder causing me to smile.


"Its cold out this time of night. What are you doing out here anyway instead of in bed, dobe?"


I raise my head from the railing and turn around in Sasuke's arms just enough so I can look him in the eye, my arms lightly scrunched between us.


"Just enjoying the view."


Sasuke looks at me with a look that says, 'at this time of night?' but I just shrug it off and lay my head on his chest, a small smile still on my lips as I speak,


"My precious person."


A snort, "Baka."


"I love you too, Sasuke."

Well, there it is, I wonder how many reviews this one will get*sighs*. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed. I'm not that great with dialog even though that's all I used to do before I switched to POV.

R&R ^.^v
