Chapter Eight: The Last One

I felt the blood rush back into my face as I fumbled for words. He looked at me quietly with a slight gleam in his eye.

"I really did not mean to," I stuttered as Hidan smirked at my discomfort. He rose an eyebrow and inspectedf his fingernails.

"Fuck. Here I thought you were going to put up a fight. I guess we can't be right all the fucking time, can we?"

He made a show of sighing. That was a low blow, an obvious low blow, but a low blow none the less.

"I will not put up a fight when there is no war."

He looked at me strangly.

"If you weren't already whipped and ready for me to wrap you around me finger, you wouldn't have gone to Ino to see where I was today and then bothered her to let you come along to see me...so yeah." I looked down at my hands ready for him to call me dumb and push me away.

I started when his soft laughter reached my ears and he covered my hand with his.

"Sakura, I have no wish what-so-fucking-ever to be anywhere else then with you. I have never been so Jashin damned worried than when you weren't at school today. I had run up to Ino and shut her up for five fucking seconds to ask where you were. When she told me, I felt my fucking heart stop. I was a stupid blubbering fuckup before we got here and she told me if I didn't get my act togather and be a man that I was going to just fuck this up and end up telling you in a geeky way that I might be in love with you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you, but then when I walked in to the hospital she kept telling me that I was beat red. So when we were in the elevator she told me to tell you why I liked you and so I went into this big explaination about how beautiful and strong you are and how when you're fighting you look like a goddess. I told how I wanted you more than anything in the world even as you nearly unmanned my best friend."

I took a deep breath that I didn't know I had been holding as I felt the hot tears trek down my face. I felt my heart swell when I saw the tips of his ears go red.

"I don't know if I love you but after this, I think I can certainly try." I pulled his neck down sharply and met his mouth in a firey hot kiss that sent a shock to my toes. I fisted his hair as he pressed into me and slid his hands to my hips. I threw myself into that kiss. I let my emotions take record of how we breathed together, how his taste seeped into my senses and took over. I pushed him back as I watched him struggle to not just do it all over again.

"Oh yeah." I nodded and pushed my hair back from my face. "We can certainly try."

The end.

I am done! I can't do any more with this though it is open for continuation. :D
