(Double update in one night :) I am on a roll. enjoy guys, trying to make this the best work I will ever do)
My eyes snap open to see a body Half draped over mine, and a mane of silver white hair covering my face. I groan, nauseous as the pain hits me. Swallowing the sick feeling, I glance around to see that I am in an unfamiliar hut, and the gorgeous silver haired hunk is the only one in the room with me. A closer look at him allows me the realization that he is sleeping.
'Wait? How am I alive? I know I must have died!' I ask myself. Kakashi must have fallen asleep watching over me. I smile softly to myself, heavily tempted to ruffle his beautiful silver-white hair. I try to calm my thumping heart, knowing that my attraction might just be one sided. The temptation of touching his hair proves to be too much for me and I stroke it softly, fingers relishing the touch of it. 'It feels just like the softest silk.' I think to myself, lost in the feel of his hair. He stirred at the touch gasping as he looked up and his eye met mine.
A blush creeped across my face as I quickly pulled my hand away from his hair, sitting up really fast. Another wave of pain hit me and I nearly vomited, gasping as tears met my eyes. Catching hold of me to steady me, he peers into my eyes and looks relieved. Almost as if he was checking to see if I was really still alive. "Thank God, you're okay! We didn't know if or when you were going to wake up." Kakashi exclaims in a relieved voice. My heart beats fast. "I thought I died... I did die didn't I?" I ask him softly, my voice hoarse.
Kakashi sighs and nods. "I had to give you CPR. Your heart stopped. Luckily, The grass ninja were patrolling and had a skilled medical ninja with them. They came running when they saw your Lightning jutsu, As did Asuma and I. Then they took us back here to help you." Kakashi tells me, sitting up to his full height. I take it all into stride. "So the grass ninja are not going to war with the leaf then?" I ask him curiously. He shakes his head. "No. They are trying to fend off the Hidden Rain Village who keep raiding their borders all along the entire border of their country. A week ago, an attempt was made on the close relative to the feudal lord's niece. Security has tightened ever since then. They just happened to be nearby is all," Kakashi relays for me.
I nod slightly. Kakashi's face changes. "I thought I was going to lose you. I... we need you here. We need you by our side. Don't take unnecessary risks," He speaks with a nearly inconsolable look on his face. I raise an hand to touch his cheek, touched by his words, but pull away at the last second. I doubt he would ever like me like that, I am way too weak for him to ever notice me like that anyways. My thoughts are muddled and I shoot him a complicated look before gripping my hands in my lap, making a fist. "Kakashi?" I call softly. "Hn?" He responds cocking his head slightly to the side, eyebrows knitting together in confusion. "Thank you. You know.. for saving me and all. You could have easily let me die." I tell him, bowing my head.
I hear a slight growl coming from him and I look up in surprise in time to meet his lips. A passionate kiss overtook me, causing my heart to beat erratically, nearly jumping out of my chest. His kiss was aggressive, yet sweet and slowly I began to respond. He ran his tongue along my teeth, teasing me a little. I opened my mouth and allowed him in, deepening the kiss. A moan sounded into my mouth, making me respond feverishly. At this point, I had no idea what I was doing and all sense of decency went out the window. Before I knew it, my hands were locked around his neck pulling him even closer to me and his hands were fisted in my hair, angling my head back to deepen the kiss impossibly further. I felt like I was being branded and caught on fire. He made me feel okay, right within my element... except that I wasn't. And if things continued they way they were, the indecent things I had been thinking about my sexy teammate would no longer just be thoughts.
I slowly and reluctantly pulled away, our breathing labored. My skin felt feverish, my core was inflamed. A blush creeped all over my body, making me feel slightly embarrassed despite how turned on I was. A single thought formed in my head. "Kakashi... why?" I whisper, almost inaudible. His breathing was as labored as mine was and he had an indescribable look on his face. "Shizuka... I... I can't explain it. This feeling it's... When I thought you were dead, I wanted to die right along with you. Your smile... That smile; if it were gone from my life, I would become my demons. Your smile takes away the pain in my heart, it makes me feel like I can become a better person. I feel like I can accomplish anything. We haven't known each other for very long however you seem to have that affect on everyone you talk to. Please, Value yourself and your life a little more. Silly girl," He rants at me his mouth drawing up into a smile. I can do nothing except nod at him.He is still leaning over me when the tent flap opens and Kurenai enters. She stops short and a knowing look crosses her face. "Sorry, glad to see you're awake Shizuka. I forgot I had a meeting with Asuma. See you two later," She practically squeals before darting out of the hut. I sigh and look up at Kakashi as he rests a hand on mine. "Get some rest. I will be right here. I'm not going anywhere," He tells me. I suddenly realize how tired I am and yawn before laying down. My eyes close and I quickly fall asleep.

(KAKASHI'S POINT OF VIEW)
I watch as she falls asleep. I didn't mean to kiss her. It just sort of happened. But I couldn't take it back. The sad thing was, I didn't want to. If she hadn't finally pulled away.... 'Kakashi you are in a lot of trouble here.' I tell myself as I touch a strand of her hair. She sleeps so peacefully. I don't quite understand this feeling, but it would not be an appropriate time to talk about that kiss until she was well. I didn't know what to do. Did I want it to become something more? She was right. We hadn't known each other very long. Regardless, I was definitely attracted to her. She was like a ray of sunshine, wiping away the pain from my past. The things that I never wanted to remember and the things that haunted me every night in my sleep. I was so ready to say fuck the world. And then she appeared.
The flap to the hut fluttered open, interrupting my thoughts. Asuma's head poked through before glancing at me and then he walked to the bedside. "You haven't left this room since we got here. What's on you mind, Kakashi?" Asuma asks me with a look of worry. I shake my head and ruffle my hair. "I don't understand how one person can haunt you so thoroughly. What does it even mean? How can once person take over every forethought in your mind like that?" I say in confusion. Asuma nods like he understands. "You love her, don't you Kakashi? Why don't you just tell her? Have you seen the way she looks at you?" Asuma says quietly to me. I shake my head. "I am not sure about love. But I want her near me. I have never been in love with anyone before. I just didn't want her to leave me.. like they did," I finish lamely. Out of the team I was placed on as a Genin, I was the only one still alive. Minato Sensei, Obito and Rin had already passed on. I was alone. Until she showed up.
She was the only one went out of her way to talk to me and make me feel welcome. Before I knew it, I was enamored. When this mission was over, I was going to have to show her a proper thanks. The Hokage, lord Third had dispatched a team to replace us already, and we would leave as soon as it was safe for her to travel. It would probably be a few days. Asuma cleared his throat, making me jump out of my thoughts and look him in the eye. "So... I hear you two were up to something indecent in here," Asuma jabs at me, a teasing expression crossing his face. I roll my eyes. "It was just a kiss. Nothing indecent about that." I tell him, exasperated. "Yeah, okay. I totally believe you. By the way, I brought you something to eat, you know? Since you don't leave at all. Get some rest," Asuma says, leaving me to my thoughts.
I look over at Shizuka, a tender feeling in my heart. After we got home, she and I would need to talk. As of right now, nothing was making sense, but until then, I was going to stay by her side and make sure she didn't change her mind and die on me. For all I knew, she could still take a turn for the worse. When I kissed her, the feeling of her lips, her tongue and even her breaths on my face reminded me that she was alive and here. I lost too much... I couldn't lose anyone else. Never again. I quickly ate my dinner and rested my hand in hers, leaning my elbows over the bed and my head on the rails before closing my eyes. Without too much trouble, I fell into a deep sleep.
