When they got to Kurenai's, she led Anko into the living room and told her to make herself comfortable. Anko sat down on the end of the couch and Kurenai sat down beside her. "What's wrong?" Asked Kurenai, turning to her friend. "How can you sit there and ask me what's wrong!" An agitated Anko said. "I'm not talking about the Hokage or about Orochimaru, Anko" Kurenai said lovingly placed her hand on Anko's. "Something else is wrong. I'm supposed to be your friend, Anko. You can talk to me." Kurenai said with a smile. "It...it's nothing." Anko said with a slight blush. Kurenai, being very perceptive caught Anko's blush . "Could it have something to do with a love interest ?" Kurenai asked teasingly. "Well, may...maybe but..." Anko started, blushing once more. "Could it be a certain shinobi known as 'the copy ninja'?" Kurenai asked smiling devilishly. Anko's head shot up. "K...Kakashi? No!" "No? Then who?" Asked a rather surprised Kurenai. "I... can't tell." Anko lowered her eyes once more to the floor. "Why can't you tell?" Kurenai asked concerned. "Well for one, if I did, then you would hate me for it." "That's not true. I couldn't hate you for falling in love!" Kurenai interrupted. "Besides, this person would never think of me as a romantic possibility anyway." Anko paused again, tears coming to her eyes. "Have you ever had to feel the pain of watching them day after day, wishing that they knew how you felt? Afraid that if you told them it would ruin everything you ever had with that person?" Anko stopped. Her already shaky voice giving out at the end tears now making there way down her cheeks. Kurenai scooted over on the couch and wrapped her arms tightly around Anko's shoulders. Holding her as tight as she could, while Anko cried into her chest. "But I have Anko" Kurenai whispered into Anko's ear. "I know how much it hurts. I also have someone close to my heart that I'm afraid to tell how I feel." Kurenai said "Do you want to know who it is, Anko?" she asked. Anko nodded her head into Kurenai's breasts, still crying slightly. "Okay, I'll tell you then. First, let me explain to you why I feel this way about this person." Kurenai started "I've always admired her... yes her, since the first day we met. She's funny, smart, strong and beautiful." Kurenai said staring at the top of Anko's head. "She's the most wonderful person you'll ever meet. She fills my heart with such joy when she smiles at me. She means everything to me." A tear fell from her Kurenai's cheek, landing on Anko's head. Anko looked up to see tears trickling down Kurenai's cheek and more gathering at the corners of her closed eyes. "Kurenai..." Anko started heartbroken. "I would give anything for her,even my life. I still haven't told you who it is yet, have I?" She grabbed Anko's shoulders and pushed her away from her breasts. "I always seem to lose myself when I stare into her violet eyes." Kurenai said staring into Anko's eye's. Kurenai leaned forword, close to Anko's ear and said in a seductive yet sorrowful voice, "You are the one I love Anko." Anko gasped, but made no attempt to move away. "Forgive me, Anko" Kurenai said in a voice clearly full of heartache. "Forgive you? For what?" Anko asked in her own shaky voice. "Forgive me... for this." Kurenai whispered before pulling away from Anko's ear and pressing her lips tenderly to Anko's.
