Kagome x Yamato

Warning: Slightly lemony

Captain

How long had they been doing this for? This stupid cat and mouse game that grated on his last nerves but continued to play with her because it was the only contact they seemed to have these days since her retirement from ANBU itself. He stood upon the roof of her home and gazed upon her back, watching that waterfall of blue-black hair sway with the morning breeze, working hard to return her garden back to its former glory. Even from the backside, he knew the beauty she held with her skin a creamy pale that no matter how much sun she got didn't seem to burn, she wasn't overly tall but not so short she couldn't reach something on a high shelf. Slim in nature but he knew how much power she could pack, rivaling their own Hokage at times. Even now he could picture those bright sapphire eyes with hints of silver flecks in them when the light hit them just right or even when she was completely happy. Something tightened in his chest at the thought of her, something warm swimming just below the surface, he moved to jump beside her but hesitated as he had a mission to do with team Kakashi outside of the village.

"How long are you gonna stand up there, Cat?" She asked him in a teasing to before sitting up and back onto her feet, head turning to face the man she used to follow, smile as bright as the sun directed at him. He blinked rapidly before smiling himself and dropping down beside the woman, dressed in the normal shinobi attire of the village. "I will never be able to figure out how on earth you are able to do that." He admitted before extending a hand to the woman, his heart fluttering as she placed her own smaller one in it and allowed him to pull her up. "You know how I do it, is one of the reasons we were always paired together, tea?" Yamato nodded and followed her into the house, he could be a little late, right? After all, Kakashi was habitually late all the damn time.

The house was simple and smelled like the woman, vanilla with hints of honey and other sweet flavors, the window's to the kitchen tossed open to allow in the light and fresh air from the spring morning. There were painting's littered the walls, all with the same element, a fox. It was why she chose that mask while in ANBU and why she took to Naruto when she finally retired from the organization. It wasn't the first time he had been inside this place, and if he worked his magic he wouldn't be leaving it anytime soon, a slow smile spread across his mouth as the door shut behind him and he took in the yellow sundress she was wearing. How it fit her like a glove before belling out at the waist, brushing against the backs of her knees. Two steps inside as she reached for the kettle and that's when he was behind her, pressing himself into the curve of her back and dipping his head down to the junction of her neck, lips barely brushing across the delicate skin feeling her pulse quicken with his bold move.

"Ya-Yamato" she whispered out the code name that was given as his hands found themselves wrapping around her waist, pulling her in closer to him, it was her presence that drove him absolutely insane and stirred a fire in him as he hardened at a small sigh she made. She twisted in his arms and pressed those soft lips to his own, body pressed tightly against his own as his hands trailed down her waist and lower, ready to hike her up onto the counter and take her then and there as he began to dominate her mouth, small slender finger's digging into his brown hair in and eager attempt to hurry him up. Kissing turned heated as he picked her up and set her down on the ledge, one hand searching for the damned zipper of the dress, growing irritated at the lack of it. Pulling away he growled in annoyance, laughter filled the small space as slender legs wrapped around his waist and drew him closer in. "Don't pout" voice husky and filled with passion that drove him even more insane than he had previously been, but her attention was turned to her window as something appeared.

"Am I disturbing you two?"

Pakkun sat on the ledge his gruff voice breaking the moment that had been there, his eyes looking between the two with boredom. "Yes, Pakkun you are, let me guess Kakashi sent you to find me because I am later than he was?" Yamato stated and at the dog's nod he groaned and laid his head down on Kagome's chest, grumbling about stupid work and assholes that loved making his life miserable. It was only met with the cheerful laughter of Kagome as she pushed him away and jumped from her counter, straightening out the dress and moving to two boxes that were packed on the stove. How had he missed those? "Here! He won't stay made long once he starts eating them!" Kagome stated while passing the boxes with her famous sweet rolls in them, moving to a plate and tossing it to Pakkun who gobbled it up before vanishing from sight. "Better go, the team awaits," Kagome spoke as Yamato leaned down and captured her lips with his once more.

"I love you" he spoke before heading out of the house not waiting for her response, leaving a stunned Kagome in the kitchen of her home, smiling like a moron.

"I love you too."
