The cold night breeze brushed softly against her pale cheeks, causing her to shiver slightly. Her emerald eyes scanned the path to her right, the one that led to the bar. For some reason, they flitted off to the side, towards her sensei's tent. Then, her plans changed. Somehow, she wasn't as suprised as ahe though she should have been to see him sitting at the opening, looking up at her. She didn't know if it was because her emotions were running on high at that moment, but she made up her mind to resolve the situation between her and Kakashi right then and there.

"See," He muttered as she came near, "I knew you could handle him." He shut the orange book that was open in his lap, and turned his full attention to her. He watched as she took a seat beside him, undoubtably thinking of the situation she'd found herself in seconds ago. He knew full well how her notorious jutsu worked. First, she would gather chakra in her fingertips, and then, when she found the necessary point, she would inject it quickly into the bloodstream. After the momental shock of someone else's chakra mixing with their blood, they would fall into a state of unconsiousness. He turned to see her looking at him, nonchalant as she could possibly force her demeanor to be. Wordlessly, he pulled her into his embrace, just as a flood of tears began to spill from her eyes. Maybe she wasn't going to do any resolving that night...

"Y-y-you heard, didn't you?" She asked between her muffled sobs. After feeling him nod, she pulled away, and looked to her other side, hiding her face. After a few snuffles, she added, "Everything?" She cursed inwardly. She'd let her weakness show. Even as she wiped the tears away, her voice had still cracked. But she shouldn't have had to mask her weakness. This was Kakashi, her sensei! But as much as she hated to admit it, she just couldn't think of him as her sensei, he was so much more.

He'd been about to ask if Sasuke's words had been true, but as she muttered that last question, there was no need. That single word had confirmed it, it had shown a wealth of emotion, even though she'd tried to conceal it. In a flash, he had her in his arms again. It was foreign for him to be so close to any other human being, (not counting his few frivoulous flings) but as of late, it felt like abnormally natural just to pull her close. "C'mon, we need to talk." He said into the top of her hair. He lead her inside.

She stood before him silently, her heart pumping loudly in her chest. It had been smart to come inside, if anyone saw them talking so late at night, the accusations would start flying like birds. She forced the blush that had been lingering on her cheeks to return to a lighter shade.

Just as the flap fell to cover the opening, she surrendured and fell into his arms. In mere seconds her jacket had been thrown out of reach, along with his mask. Their lips crashed together, all of the pent up emotion they'd been hiding merged together between them. Suddenly, much to her displeasure, he pulled away.

"You're married." He finally blurted out. He looked her in the eye for a moment, and then ran a hand through his silvery locks. Finally letting out a sigh, he added, "What are we going to do?"

She eyed him for a second, her breath caught in her throat. Finally, she managed to whisper, "Damn it!" She glared at him for a second, and he returned it with a questioning gaze. All of the anger she'd previously harbored for Sasuke returned three times over. She answered his unspoken question by adding, "Even when he's not around he manages to ruin my life!"

Kakashi shook his head and stepped toward her. "Not ruin your life. We just need to put this on hold for a while." He looked at her for a moment, and was relieved to find that she smiled in return. She wrapped his arms around his neck. The effect was immediate. He had fallen back into her claws. Their lips met again, and remained connected until Kakashi pulled away. "All right, only kissing."

She leaned back to see his face better. "Who said anything about anything else?" A small smirk graced her features as he, The copy-ninja, actually fumbled for his words. She waited a few seconds, enjoying the rare sight. She shifted a hand to the back of his head, mixed in his silvery mane, and guided it closer to her own. Making sure that her lips were only centimeters from his, she whispered "Kidding." It had been a bit too serious in the room for her taste, so this was the easiest way to lighten it.

They shared another kiss, and their fates were sealed. There was no resisting the attraction between them.

Opening her green eyes, she lazily let her gaze slide to her left. A small smile quirked her lips at the sight. Kakashi was sleeping, and her hair was spead all across his face. She sat up slowly, trying to adjust her eyesight to the still dim morning light. She slowly slid her right foot off the cot, as silently as possible. With her toes, she managed to pick up her T-shirt from the floor. Just as it fell comfortably over her shoulders, she felt an arm snake around her waist. She laughed softly as she fell ontop of him.

"Is it morning?" He croaked.

"Yes. It's three, and I have to go." She said, smiling down at him. She relented to his hold, and fell completely onto his bare chest. She kissed him once, and then was on her feet. Grabbing her jacket, she stepped to the opening, and smiled a good bye.

"Breakfast?"

"Sure." And with that single word, she darted out the door and into her own tent. She scowled to see Sasuke in the same exact spot as she'd left him in. Sighing, she grabbed some clothes, a hairbrush, and a towel, and headed off to the shower house. When she returned, she was still debating on wheather or not she should wake her sleeping husband. Finally, she stepped over to him, and shook his shoulder.

"Morning. I'm gonna go. Bye."

She shuffled her way towards where they served breakfast. It was a large building, where there were tables set out in rows. Oddly enough, it reminded her of a school cafeteria. She shuffled over to where the food was served, and took her food to a small, empty table. Soon, she was joined by Kakashi, who sat across from her.

She shivered, it was like she was back at the academy. She smiled at him, and then shoved an apple into her mouth.As she chewed, she could have sworn she heard a laugh from Kakashi, but when she looked to him, she was concentrating on his food. She shrugged it off as a cough, but when he did it again, she quickly looked to him, but he was looking beyond her. She turned to see Sasuke sitting with a group of women surrounding him.

She looked back at him, and smirked. "Maybe he'll want to mary one of them." She was satisfied to hear him laugh at her small joke. She sighed, and shoved more food into her mouth.

"So, did you sleep okay last night?" She looked up to him questioningly. As she took notice of the small arch to his eye, she sighed. She resolved her agitation by hrowing her apple core at him. He only picked it up, put it with the rest of his trash, took hers, and stood to throw it away. When he returned, he glanced at her, and then took out his infamous book.

"You're just trying to get to me this morning, aren't you?" She growled, stealing the book away from him. To her supris, he allowed her to take it. With a satisfied smirk, she closed it, and shoved it into her shurinken pouch. She squirmed as heinstead began to stare at her. She had a feeling that he wasn't really seeing what was in front of him. "I'm suprised that Tsunade hasn't decided to make me play 'doctor' here. I'm actually pretty glad though."

"That reminds me... Do you want to get in a little training today?" After she nodded, he stood. After waiting several seconds, he added, "Are you coming?"

She looked up at him, suprised. "What? Now?"

"Yes, now. I was planning on stopping by my tent first, and then we can head out to the fields." She eyed him suspisiously, and then followed him outside. After they were a safe distance from all signs of life, he wrapped his arm around her, and pulled her to his side as he walked. She giggled, and allowed him the sign of affection, for she never would have guessed it from him. When they finally arrived at his tent, she let out a squeal as he took her off guard and threw her onto his cot.

"What are you doing? We can't not now!"

"What're you talking about, I was only getting my gear, what were you expecting?" He laughed out loud as she blushed. He sat down next to her on the cot. "Gotcha back."
