A/N: Just something I found saved on my computer inspired by some beautiful fan art I found on DeviantART. Really short and fluffy.

Be Safe

The woman stands up from the now empty bed and pulls on the thin yukata, a picture of a red and white fan proudly displayed on the back. The first light of the day shines in from the window and she looks at the emptiness in the room.

Tangled sheets lay on the bed, scattered clothes lay on the floor and where the ANBU attire once was is now bare. She sits on the bed and sighs, because this isn't the first time she's woken up alone, and it won't be the last. The bathroom door next to her opens and a stoic man walks in, wearing the missing armor.

"How long this time?" She asks.

"Not too long, three or four days maybe." He replies. Though the words were said nonchalantly, the woman's trained ears pick up the hint of sadness.

"Be safe." She says sadly as she stands up to get her hospital uniform.

The raven-haired man grabs her arm and sternly pulls her to him. He places his lips on hers and shudders at the softness of them. She lays both of her hands on his chest and molds into him. One of his hands caresses her cheek while the other one plays with her soft pink locks.

While the kiss is sweet, an underlying sense of urgency and desperation is present. The man softly explores her mouth with his tongue; all the while thinking that he'll never be able to get over the affect this woman has on him.

He breaks the kiss but only so he can look into her eyes, those beautiful emeralds that only shine brighter in the light of the sunrise. "I love you." He states firmly, leaving no doubts in her mind.

"I love you too." she replies breathlessly, desperately wishing that he didn't have a mission to go on today. They separate and Sasuke walks towards the door.

"Be safe." Sakura repeats quietly as the front door of their house closes.
