Sakura and Kankuro

I lightly moved the pencil across the paper. The scratch of the pencil bringing my art work to life was like reliving the moment. I thought about each second with Kankuro and put it in to my work. The Pencil lightly drew Kankuro's lips. I smiled; I had drawn everything except the face paint. He looked a lot better without it. Then I shaded in the face paint. Then I worked on his figure, him lying by the lake up against a tree.

The pencil lightly flew across the paper leaving the gray lead. That moment in her thoughts while dropping pebbles in to the lake, watching the pebble breaking its surface. Totally lost in thought, then she heard kankuro's voice. It was a most beautiful sound hearing his voice wake her up from her thoughts, saying her name. The way he said her name to get her attention, was still music to her ears.

I looked down at my finished art work. That was the best picture she ever drew. I walked out the door into the hallway. It could get quite boring in this little house. I wonder why they don't live with the kazekage. I looked at kankuro's closed door. Then I looked at the Door to the balcony. It had windows, so you could see out of it. I touched the glass, it was warm.

I hope they don't mind if I go out on the balcony. I slowly turned the handle. It creaked a bit which sent a shock though me. I didn't even know if I was allowed out there. I opened the door and took a step out. The warm night greeted me. It was so pretty! It was a crescent moon. The stars dotted the sky. I went up and rested my arms on the metal rail.

I rested my head in my hands and admired the scene. It was so peaceful, the moon, the surrounding warm air, and the silent that hung in the air. I closed my eyes, to just admire everything. I felt someone lean on the rail next to me. I opened my eyes, there was Kankuro. He was resting his arms on the metal rail and looking up at the moon. I started at his peaceful figure in front of me. The moon and stars light was reflected in to his eyes.

He looked at me straight into the eyes. His small black eyes looking my jade green ones. I felt the heat rise to my cheeks, to avoid him seeing my pink cheeks and averted my gaze toward the ground. "Hi" I looked back up at him. The simplest greeting from him felt so good to hear. I felt nervous for some reason. I thought I agreed not to become some love sick girl.

"Hi" a smile rose to his painted face. I guess I know why I'm nervous I undoubtly love him. I hope I was right. I thought once again to what Temari told me to do. Maybe I couldn't wait any longer. This seemed like a special moment, should I tell him? "Kankuro" I said as I felt my cheeks start to burn. "Yeah?" He said it so calmly. "I-I …better go inside now" I couldn't do it. I thought of all the things he could say. "Ok" Then I turned around and put my hand on the door handle. I looked thought the window. I saw Sasuke and Temari peeking out from the Kitchen. They saw I was looking at them and they quickly disappeared. I turned back to look at Kankuro, he had one arm on the rail and one at his side. He was watching me leave. I smiled then turned the door handle and walked inside.

I felt my heart burst with emotion. That was so amazing, Better then sitting with Kankuro at the park. I should have told him. I walked to my room which wasn't far from the balcony. I grabbed my sketch book on the dresser. Then lay down on my soft bed.
