Notes: I know this is kind of a short first chapter, but this is my first time writing a fanfic like this so i'm just getting started. This is my favorite pairing so I hope I do it justice. I will be updating it periodically as I have time; please review! I hope you guys like it xD
"It's just a routine mission." They told me. "No one will get hurt." They told me. "A two-man cell is more than enough." They told me. And I listened.
Kakashi-senpai and I were sent out on a mission to the Hidden Sound Village. There had been chatter coming in that some rogue ninja were planning an attack on Konoha. The Hokage felt that this would be a simple mission of nothing more than surveillance and that we could handle it on our own. Of course, I should have known better.
It was a little past midnight as I made my way to the village gates, the air had a chill to it, and there wasn't a star in the sky. Of course Senpai was nowhere to be seen when I arrived. It took him 2 hours to finally get there.
"Senpai! Where have you been?"
"Well... you see... I was mauled by a pack of cats! And then, when I finally broke free, this giant turtle blocked my path and naturally I couldn't get by."
"Senpai... That's absurd."
"You think it's absurd, you didn't see it!"
"At any rate, are you finally ready to leave? Or are there going to be more animals coming by?"
"Nope, I'm ready. If you are," He says as he smiles at me in that way that makes me completely lose my senses. It really isn't fair how much he affects me. It's equally not fair how I don't seem to phase him at all.
We dash off into the trees and head towards the Hidden Sound Village. The chill in the air makes it unusually clear and my mind starts to wander. Kakashi-senpai isn't saying much of anything and I'm beginning to wonder why. I didn't think anything was out of the ordinary before we left. But for some reason this infuriating man just won't speak.
"Hey, senpai," I say while trying to study his face.
Without even looking at me he says, "Hmm?"
I figured if we kept on running then we'd never actually get a chance to talk, so I suggest we take a break. "How about we camp out here for the night?"
Finally he turns and looks at me. Victory! "Tired already Tenzou?" He laughs.
"What? O...Of course not! I just was trying to save an old man from over-exerting himself. That's all," I say as I turn away to avoid his eyes. I couldn't let him see me blush. How irritating. Why is it that this one man can make me feel so many things with just one look. One laugh. One smile. It's not fair!
Damn you senpai. Damn it all…
