Chapter 3
A Night Together
Sauske was practicing his tree climbing when Temari appeared on the edge of the training field. As Sauske noticed her he dove to the next tree and slowly slid down to greet her.
"Hi, Sauske," Temari said as she approached him.
"Hey," Sauske responded still feeling a little awkward because of how little he had spoken to girls. "Are you ready to go."
Temari nodded and together they began walking out of the training grounds. Once out of the fence Sauske took the lead and began heading towards his house.
They walked in silence for a while and Temari began to feel like she needed to do something to get a conversation going. The only problem was that she couldn't seem to find her voice. After a second she hesitantly reached out and grasped Sauske's hand.
At first Sauske was surprised and started to pull away and then he looked over at Temari who was blushing a little and gave her a reassuring squeeze.
They stopped at a small sushi restaurant and grabbed some food to go and headed towards a park where they could enjoy it.
The wind picked up as they got to the park and the golden brown leaves were being blown out of the trees and onto the park tables. As the two ate their sushi they talked about what they had done that day and how the exams coming up meant that tonight would be the last night they would get to be together for a while.
When they had both finished it was already getting dark outside. Clouds began to form overhead and the smell of rain filled the air. Sauske took Temari's hand and together they walked towards his house.
On the way it began to pour down rain and by the time they got to Sauske's house they were both soaked.
"Here one second, I can get you a towel and something else to put on." Sauske said as they stepped inside his house.
The room they were in was a small cozy little room with a soft carpet and a nice couch in the corner along with a small TV across from it.
"Here you go," Sauske, said handing Temari a towel and a black bathroom robe. "Sorry I couldn't really find anything else for you to wear its ok if you just want to stay in what you have on."
"No, I'll be fine in this." She said. "I don't mind wearing this. As long as I'm dry. Do you have a place where I can change?"
"Yeah, there's a bathroom just across the hall." He said pointing towards an open door.
After a few minutes Temari came out of the bathroom wearing the black robe. Her golden blonde hair, which was usually tied up in four places, was now let down and running strait down part of the black robe.
Sauske too had changed into a black t-shirt and pants. His hair was still a little wet and some of the spikes had folded down and were covering part of his eyes. But he could still see Temari. He stared her for a long moment until he realized that she was blushing.
"I'm sorry come sit down on the couch." He said as he took a seat on the far end. "Its just… you look beautiful."
This made Temari blush even more but she managed to smile at the nice comment. She sat down next to him and let her eyes wonder around the room until Sauske finally broke the silence.
"Thank you."
"For what?"
"For being someone I can talk to. I've never really had anyone I could tell my feelings too. But now I have someone I can confide in. And someone who its someone who loves me and cares for me."
"I feel the same way about you." Said Temari. "And I really do love you a lot it's great to finally have someone who I can tell about my fears."
At this Sauske leaned forward hesitantly and brought his face right up to Temari's, looking into her deep blue eyes. When she didn't pull away he slowly placed his lips against hers. At first it was a little uncomfortable, due to the fact that Temari seemed taken aback by the sudden gesture, but slowly Temari let her lips mold together with his. He brought his arms up and wrapped them around her slender shoulders, pulling her close so that he could feel the warmth of her body against his.
After what felt like and eternity, they slowly pulled away from each other. Temari smiled and Sauske smiled back holding on to the feeling of Temari in his arms.
"So…" Sauske said.
"Hmm…"
They both couldn't find words to express themselves right then but they were certain of one thing. The way they felt after that was great.
Sauske let his arm drape around her shoulders and Temari rested her head against his chest. And lying there together weariness overcame them and they fell asleep.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Woo Hoo… I'm really glad with how that turned out. This is the first romance fanfic I've written so I was afraid that I might not be good at writting scenes like that. Please tell me how I am doing.
