Yeah, the OC is Izumi again. For those of you who haven't read my Kiba lemon, she is peach skinned, with chin-length white hair in a side parting, and blue eyes.

I'm too lazy to make up another, so...

No flames please!

Nice reviews and constructive criticism recieve virtual lollipops!

I don't own Naruto, not even Kakashi *sob* but I do own Izumi and the plot line! Okay!

On with the story!

Part one: what we did when we were drunk, wasn't a mistake

Izumi grunted slightly as consciousness slipped into her mind, now fully aware of the aching all over her body, and the banging headache. She tried to move, but something was holding her still, against this warm thing.

It was only when she became aware of a certain something filling up her insides down there, that her eyes opened wide and she began to panic. She thought back, yes, Anko had asked her to come out for a drink with some of the other jounin... then her and Ibiki started making out (neither could hold their liquor very well)… then after that Kakashi got into a drinking contest with Gai… then she got talking to Kurenai… then more drinks and dancing and the last thing she could remember was pulling a very confused-looking Kakashi onto the dance-floor.

Damn. She cringed to herself as she remembered that, a blush seeping to her cheeks. Why am I such an idiot?

She stiffened as the man holding onto her sighed, and pulled her closer to him, making the full feeling from Izumi's insides disappear. She felt slight disappointment at it's loss, but pushed it aside.

She carefully looked at the skin of the man's chest. Really, there were only a couple of people that it could of been, but only two of them had this skin tone. Kakashi and, Izumi repressed a shudder at the thought, Gai.

She slowly looked up, and was relieved to see a head of gravity-defying silver hair, but then horrified. She had had drunken sex with Kakashi!

Oh God.

She tried to calm down, and think past it, but to no avail. The man that she had held feelings for for years, was right this moment, lying stark naked and maskless beneath her, with his arms holding her to him and his legs twined with hers. This was awful! Izumi could just imagine how awkward it would be now; he'd never talk to her again!

Unless...

Unless she left before he woke up… then maybe he wouldn't remember?

Well, it was worth a shot.

Izumi used the Kawarimi and replaced herself with a few pillows, then watched anxiously as Kakashi frowned slightly, then pulled the pillows to him and went back to sleep. She smiled, then shook her head and quickly found her clothes (which were scattered all over the room) and was annoyed to find she would have to be pantie-less and bra-less for her whole journey home. Luckily it wasn't far.

She stuffed the torn up undergarments into the pocket of her white capris, then slowly tiptoed out of the room, managing to ignore the throbbing in her head as she shut the door behind her with a soft click, still fighting not to go back in there and stare at his gorgeous body.

No. Bad Izumi.

X x x x X

Izumi groaned to herself as she saw the white signal bird. A meeting of the Leaf village jounin. Which meant that, after three days of avoiding him, she could avoid no further.

It seemed that, despite making out with Ibiki the whole time, Anko had registered a few things, because she had known about Izumi leaving with Kakashi that night. Izumi cringed as their conversation rang through her head, starting on her way to the Hokage's office.

"So... you and Kakashi, huh?" Izumi blushed deeply at the snake woman's grin, and looked away.

"I don't even remember it." Izumi mumbled as Anko fell into step beside her, feeling slight disappointment. What a waste. She did something that she would never normally do and had been dreaming of for the past five years of her twenty-one year old life, and couldn't even remember it.

"That's a shame. I was looking forward to asking you all the gory details." Anko smirked, then laughed slightly, "I kind of guessed what would happen though; you two could barely keep your hands off of each other."

Izumi choked on her own saliva. "What?"

"Yup, and you were kissing pretty heavily before that, though I still didn't manage to see Kakashi's face. You sure you don't remember anything?"

"Positive. All I remember is dragging him up to dance, then waking up in his arms." Anko laughed at Izumi's downcast expression.

"Oh yeah, the dancing… I never took you for the dirty dancing type, Izumi..." Anko snickered, and Izumi's eyes widened in horror.

"Oh, please say I didn't!" she groaned, facepalming, her face red as a tomato.

"Hey, don't worry about it. Kakashi looked like his dreams were coming true. Though I couldn't fully tell, because of his mask… but he had on an expression similar to the one he wears when he reads that hentai book."

Hentai book… oh God. That sure brought something back to Izumi. Which did not go unnoticed by Anko.

"Hm? Izumi?" Izumi smiled with chagrin.

"Those damn books… I think it's probably those that gave him so many... ideas." Anko's eyes widened, but before she could ask more, Izumi yelled a quick 'bye' and dashed away.

"Anko… is Izumi avoiding me?" Anko looked up at the silver haired jounin that was evidently the reason Izumi ran.

"Those damn books… I think it's probably those that gave him so many... ideas."

Anko fell on the floor in peals of laughter, and Kakashi just looked at her.

Women… he thought, with a sigh.

Izumi took a deep breath and adjusted her jounin vest as she entered Tsunade's office. She took in the eyes of everybody watching her, and realised that she was the last to arrive, and blushed slightly, bowing her head as she went and stood at the end of the line of jounin, next to Genma.

"My apologies, Hokage-sama." Tsunade nodded with a slight frown; something was wrong, usually Izumi was one of the first to arrive.

"Right, well, anyway, as I was saying, there have been multiple sightings of suspicious looking ninja all around the border." Tsunade looked around the room, before continuing. "I want every jounin on high alert, ready to be moved into battle-ready positions at any time. A map of where each team will be is now coming around; memorise your positions."

Izumi took the piece of paper and gave it a cursory glance, then inwardly cussed and passed it to Genma.

Of course, she probably should of expected the outcome; she was on Kakashi's Jounin squad, after all. But she had still hoped…

So I'm on the East Gate. Better remember that.

"All right. Well, if you have your positions memorised, you may go. Dismissed." Tsunade gave everyone one last serious look, and the jounin all started to leave.

Not having the energy to do anything fancy, Izumi merely left through the door, stuffing her hands in her pockets and moving slowly, in no particular rush; she was tired of constantly running and escaping, and anyway, she couldn't avoid Kakashi forever.

"Hey, uh, Izumi?" Izumi halted in her steps, turning her head.

"Oh, hey Kakashi." she said, smiling, fighting back a blush. He fell into step beside her, and they both walked, outside by this point.

"So, uh… can I ask you something?" Kakashi frowned slightly, wondering why he suddenly felt so awkward.

"Sure." Izumi replied, confused.

"What actually happened the other night?" Izumi's eyes widened and a blush seeped into her cheeks, her steps faltering. Kakashi frowned in confusion as he noticed her blush, but said nothing about it.

"Anko said we left together…" Kakashi said, putting a slightly nervous hand on the back of his neck. Izumi's shoulders shot up to her ears, and then forced herself to relax.

"Something like that, I think… I don't really remember, either..." Izumi said truthfully, though of course she knew exactly what had happened, because of the wake up call she'd recieved that morning.

"Oh… yeah, I didn't think you would… from what Anko said, we were both pretty drunk." Kakashi said, and there was an awkward silence for a minute.

"Heeyyy, Kakashi, Izumi! There you are!" Anko ran up to them, a grin on her face.

"Hi, Anko." Izumi sighed, seeing the woman's sly expression. Kakashi merely rose an eyebrow.

"Hey, some of us are meeting up at that bar again for drinks tonight, around eightish. You guys in?" Anko asked.

"Sure, why not?" Kakashi replied, then paused thoughtfully, looking at the sky. "Well, I think I've left it long enough. I better go meet my team. See you, Izumi, Anko."

Izumi couldn't help but grin at his calm demeanor. No doubt he was a few hours late to meet those brats known as his genin students.

"Well, what about you? Will you come?" Anko asked, and Izumi frowned.

"I don't think so… I have tidying to do, and I don't very much want a replay of the other night-"

"Aww, come on, Izumi! Please?" Anko begged, and Izumi cussed under her breath. How was such an evil woman able to do the puppy eyes so well? It was just so unfair.

"Ugh… fine, but I'm not drinking." Anko grinned and hugged her best friend.

"Yay! See you there!"

X x x x X

Izumi sighed. How did I get dragged into this?

She looked around the bar, now lit with fluorescent lighting. It was pretty late, now about one am, and the alcohol was calling to her. She tried to think about something else.

Oh yeah. Anko's puppy eyes. Darn that evil woman.

Oh, screw it. Izumi thought, standing up and going to the bar. When she sat back down with her alcoholic beverage, she downed a decent amount straight away, welcoming the fuzzy haze that clouded her better judgement. Making a solid oath that she would not buy any more, she finished the bottle of sake, then stood up.

"W… well, I best be-" she cut off with a random giggle as she watched Izumo stumble into Kotetsu, and the two men blush, "-off now, I might have a mission in the morning… maybe."

The group she was sitting with said their goodbyes to her, and Izumi half walked half stumbled out of the bar, into the cold, dark night, grinning like a madman the whole time.

"Only one bottle… and I'm this drunk…" Izumi shrugged, smiling as she walked down the street, swaying to a silent tune. After walking for about ten minutes, she sat down in the middle of the pavement near a strangely familiar building, letting the cold clear the fog from her mind. She'd been sitting there about ten minutes, when she sensed a presence beside her and sprang to her feet, then staggered slightly. A hand grabbed her arm, stopping her from falling.

"Izumi? W… what are you doing?" Kakashi's voice had a slight stumble, showing that he wasn't completely sober.

"I don't know... what are you doing here?" she asked, smirking slightly at how silly her words sounded.

"I live here…" Kakashi pointed, and Izumi could just make out the words Hatake, Kakashi on one of the labels on the doorbells.

"Oohhhh... that explains why this place is familiar-" she cut off abruptly as she realised what she was saying, then was suddenly painfully aware of Kakashi's hand still on her arm. Kakashi's eye widened ever so slightly, and Izumi averted her eyes, blushing slightly and stepping backwards.

"You mean, we… did that?" Kakashi asked, and Izumi blushed harder, nodding and biting her lip. Kakashi straightened up, removing his hand from her arm, and scratching the back of his head. His eye closed in an awkward and apologetic smile.

"Wow… no wonder you were avoiding me." Izumi felt slight guilt, and looked at him again.

"Ah, I… sorry about that… I just felt so… awkward. I thought if you didn't remember it, things would go back to normal."

"Why?" Izumi blinked.

"Pardon?" she asked, eyes widening as Kakashi moved closer to her. She backed away until her back hit the wall of the building behind her, and Kakashi put his hands on eith side of her. She was slippery, hard to pin down and trap, and Kakashi knew this blocking her escape route.

"I don't regret it. In fact, I'm rather pleased." Izumi gasped noiselessly as Kakashi gazed at her, then smiled under his mask.

"What… what are you saying?"

"I'm saying that I love you, Izumi, more than my own life." Kakashi gently pulled the white haired kunoichi into a firm embrace, inhaling her scent from her neck. The shocked Izumi shook her head, disbelieving.

"Kakashi… you're drunk, you don't mean that." Kakashi chuckled.

"I'm not drunk… I can hold my alcohol better than that, Izumi… and anyway, I'm sure I said this to you before, a long time ago."

Izumi's breathing hitched.

"I love you, Izumi-chan… more than my own life..."

That had been a short while after Obito died; Izumi had been hurt badly during a mission, in a coma for weeks. She had woken quickly after hearing those words, and seen Kakashi sitting at her bedside, no emotion on his face, and had been sure it was a dream.

She felt a sudden soaring happiness, and wrapped her arms around Kakashi's neck.

"I love you too, Kakashi, for so long." she buried her face in his neck, and Kakashi got over his shock and pulled her closer. He wrapped one arm securely around her waist as they pulled apart, pushing open the door to the apartment building.

"Hey, wait a second- mmf!" Izumi cut off her protest as lips met her own, and strong arms picked her up. Kakashi broke away, and a smirk could be seen before he pulled his mask back up, and carried Izumi with ease down a hall, supporting her with only one arm as he unlocked the door to his apartment.

"You're sleeping here tonight… I don't care if I have to tie you to the bed." he said, finally setting her on her feet once he'd closed the door. Izumi blushed athis expression, and hit him lightly on the arm.

"Pervert..." she mumbled, and he shrugged.

"You know you like it." he said, and she blinked, frozen on the spot long enough for Kakashi to leave, then reappear with a shirt, and throw it to her. She caught woodenly, and went to where Kakashi pointed, assuming it was the bathroom. Once inside, she sank to the floor, sighing contentedly. She felt the happiest she had in a long time.

She brought the shirt to her face, inhaling deeply with a smile. It smelled like it had been washed recently, but Kakashi's scent still clung to it faintly.

When she exited the bathroom, she padded barefoot down the hall, then squeaked as she was pulled into a room.

"Well hello there." Kakashi murmured into her ear, pulling her back against his chest as they somehow (0.o) ended up in the bed.

Izumi smiled.

"Hello." she twisted in his embrace, pressing her body against his.

"You know, I did wonder why my pillow smelled of you when I woke up... I thought I was dreaming."

Izumi grinned. "You sure are corny tonight, Kakashi."

He smiled back, and she stroked his cheek, before curling her fingers on the top of his mask. "May I?"

He looked at her for a second, then nodded, removing his headband as she pulled down the mask, then smiled.

"What is it?" he asked, anxiety in his tone, and she smirked, then kissed his lips softly.

"Mine." she said, kissing his cheek, and then trailing kisses down along the line of his jaw. "All mine."

Then she looked up at him with playfully narrowed eyes, "and don't-" she accentuated the word with a roll of her hips, making her lover's head fall back with a moan "you forget it."

Kakashi smiled, pushing his lips back against hers. "I don't think I could if I tried."

X x x x X

"Where is she? Where's Izumi?" Kakashi demanded frantically, and the medic nin flinched, unused to the new demeanor of the usually calm copy-nin.

"U-uh, room 103..." he stammered, and Kakashi rushed away without hesitation. He burst through the correct door a minute later, heart shooting ice cold as he saw her, white hair splayed on the pillow, skin unnaturally pale. Kakashi would of thought she was dead, if it wasn't for the steady beeping of the heart rate monitor.

"It's not good, Kakashi... She has multiple broken bones, and a punctured lung. We've done what we can, but we had to induce a coma just to keep her alive. Even if she does wake up… it will takes months of intense rehabilitation just to get her walking again." Tsunade's eyes held sadness as she watched Kakashi go through what she had before. Kakashi merely sat down at Izumi's bedside, taking her hand and squeezing it lovingly.

Tsunade moved and put a hand on his shoulder. "Kakashi… you need to prepare for the worst… she might never wake up."

Kakashi just brought her hand to his face, frowning.

"She's stronger than that. She will wake up." he murmured. He couldn't. He couldn't lose another precious person.

He didn't know what he would do without her.

Sora: Aww, poor Kakashi!

Kakashi: Why do you do this to meee?
