A/N: Done for Naruto100's 'Last Chance' challenge.
Last Chance For Love
Shizune never did come to realize what it was about him that she loved. He was everything she needed, it seemed, though when she thought about it, it never seemed that way. He was on the enemy's side, he was the enemy's right hand man. And she was the second to the Hokage. Opposing forces, white and black, oil and water. But they mixed together fine.
She couldn't quite remember how they started seeing each other. Every time they met they always started out with insults, maybe they would come to blows. But they always ended up making love. It never seemed traitorous when she said his name, or like a betrayal when he kissed her.
She always kept herself in reserve to be betrayed by him. He was the enemy after all. He had gotten stronger than her, more trained than her, despite the different in age between them. She had years on him, but he was stronger, even more mature at times. She expected that he was using her, just trying to get inside information. But he never brought up anything like that, he never hurt her, never pried. He only came. She began to let him into her home, into her bed. And she never regretted it.
Maybe she did it because it was her last chance at love. Maybe because she wanted to do something daring, do something that crossed the line. But as she watched Kabuto roll out of bed with a smile at her, Shizune though maybe it was just because she loved him.
