Week/Challenge: Week 9 -- Attraction

Summary: Kakashi has noticed that Sakura has gotten stronger, but why is she looking at him like so?

The sudden pull he felt was indescribable the lump that suddenly developed in his throat made him want to choke. It wasn't until he noticed his hands were shaking did he suspect something was amiss. Yet instead of expounding on it his mind was wrapped on the sight that greeted him. The small framed girl stood in front of him, face bruised and muddy, her hands tried to hold back the blood gaping from her stomach wound. It was until he looked into her dull jaded eyes did something about her seemed to change.

Cocking his head to his side in what seemed to be an animated moment in time did the new effect on her hit home for him. There standing in the place where his student should have been stand now stood a full grown woman. Not just any woman but a woman that bared a look of expectations and something more he could not name.

Slowly ever so did he realize she had started to approach him, her walk strong and confident. With each approaching step the need to run and hide ran through him, the need to avoid her and whatever she now possessed made him want cower in fear. A slither of power crept up his spine in a quick second as he realized that whatever power she now possessed was trigged by him.

The tremble that ran through him made him stand still and face this new power of hers. With his heart fluttering as she slowly brought her blood soaked hand up to caress his mud covered face. The shine that lit up her pain filled eyes shook him alittle, The need to discover her sudden new magic drove him forward in a small smile he attempted to offered her more encouragement. However her next movement suddenly made him realized exactly what that missing feeling was, the answer made him laugh out loud as she smiled in return and nodded.

Ever so softly did he gather her up in his arms and ever so gently did he place his lips against hers. The over powering emotion bubbled up and simply commanded them to act more deeply on the newness of their hearts. Once their lips parted Kakashi simply marbled at the purity of their basic attraction and gladly gave in.
