W0ot this is a very xxx affair and it seems like it's a rare match too... but I dreamed of this and... well... it was a happy dream... and -cough- we're going to pretend that our panda haired girl is LEGAL and of course I don't own Naruto... -sigh-

Oh, and um, I thought this would be a one-shot, but suddenly I couldn't stop writing so… e-n-j-o-y

PROLOGUE-When an unsuspecting Lee greets Tenten after getting back from the last mission, she lashes out at him because it turns out she was the only one besides Sasuke from the Rookie Nine that was left out. In that mission the genin had helped repay their debt to the Sand nin, especially Gaara, by aiding in the fight against Seimei and his minions.

Now now, have you ever wondered what mission Tenten was busy with that she was unable to go?

Chapter 1-Everything's Strange

The Hokage was very pleased with the way Tenten was handling the last missions assigned to her, some of them operating solo. She had noticed the girl had bloomed into a powerful kunnoichi able to execute her missions accurately, in a timely fashion and using impeccable stealth. Of the Rookie Nine, she was usually the least harmed, and somehow had managed to work using a delicate balance between the Hyuuga's no-nonsense approach and Lee's abundant outbursts of training fandom.

And no matter the difficulty of the mission she never complained, except when she was required to deal with loud Naruto or Kiba. Tenten was the quiet type most of the time, preferring to study her options before rushing in. And when she attacked, she loved to make a flashy dance of weapons flying out of her scrolls and getting her targets with fearsome accuracy. And even though she knew she possessed all those great qualities, she felt unsatisfied.

'Damn, why did I turn out so plain? They call Sakura beautiful, Ino sexy, Hinata cute, and nobody says anything about my looks. Even Temari gets compliments and lusty eyes, and I don't even get asked out on a ramen date. Should I dye my hair blue or green, or maybe get a haircut... dunno...' Tenten kicks angrily at the dirt road on the way to her house while ignoring the tears that threaten to appear.

Her face suddenly turns defiant and she runs to the secluded field somewhat far behind her house where she used to practice when she was a kid. In a flash the trees around the clearing become black, covered with kunai, shuriken, and other varieties of weapons that have rushed out of her scrolls. That brings no relief and she slumps to the floor, crying because she feels there's no way she can ever get Neji's attention. If at least she were of noble blood maybe that would help... 'I have nothing to offer...'

She was grateful the Godaime had respected her wishes to make solo missions to improve her skills. One after the other she had done four and five missions in a row trying to keep herself busy, trying not to thinks too much of her Hyuuga teammate. But Tsunade-sama sensed there was something wrong going on and had Shizune follow Tenten on her way home one day. The young assistant ran for cover as the weapons flew all over the practice field and the girl sank to the floor crying. Unable to come with an excuse to say why she was there, she rushed back to report immediately.

Tsunade-sama got pissed, yelling to the Kamis that why if she was so available to them; they wouldn't tell her what was wrong. 'I am their friend too, yet they don't tell me anything. Look at Naruto, that proud little brat would never tell me he's head over heels for Sakura, and his teammates are going through similar dramas. They look at me like I'm super old (even though I look this hot) and forget I was their age once, and had to go through similar stuff... aaah my beloved little fools'

Shizune giggled at the Hokage's words and suggested they make a mission out of it. Tsunade-sama brightened at the thought and they began looking over the available shinobi profiles. 'Holy Kami!!, I forgot to tell Tenten that her teammates left yesterday to go and help Gaara. And it's a dangerous mission so I don't think I should send her alone to catch up. So what do you make of this Shizune?' The girl looked confused as she handed the Hokage the profile of the only ninja available...

'Um, Tsunade, I don't think he's the best choice for this...' Shizune began but the Hokage interrupted 'If he's all we got, then so be it, anyways he's experienced in handling dramas. Just one look at his team, and I think this should be a piece of cake. Family avenger? check. Spoiled brat? check. Parentless child with something inside? double check. Yep, I think he will do, now call him here at once, we have a damsel in distress.' 'Yes Tsunade-sama' Shizune replied as she ran out the door.

Even though it was her free day off, she had gone out to the store at her mother's request to buy some things. On the way she passed by the Yamanaka flower shop, but Ino wasn't there. Out of curiosity she also visited the hospital but no Sakura, and no sign of the others anywhere in the village. It felt too quiet without Lee and Gai's outrageous training techniques, Naruto's compulsive yelling and Kiba's running around with the happy barking Akamaru. Unaware that she was being followed, and not knowing there'd be a reason for it, she walked back slowly.

Back in her room, she took out the different scrolls she has used over the years and strokes them lovingly. In her mind she saw flashbacks of the first time she began throwing a kunai and how she became enamored with the feeling. As she grew up she began collecting weapons and soon enough she figured she had to find a way of using more than just one. She kept her favorite one under the pillow, a wooden kunai with a panda design that her father had brought at a fair for an insisting little girl.

She smiled warmly at the thought, but her eyes started to burn again. Before she flew out the window, she grabbed a scroll that she never used because it was large, heavy, bulky and dangerous. Back at the clearing she opened it ever so slowly and examined the symbols that described the contents within. 'I will try to master this one, no matter the cost' she swore as she bit her finger knowing well that not handling the scroll correctly could end her life immediately.

'I don't care!!!' she screamed rebelliously at the wind before the blood on her finger released the seals in scroll 'Nobody cares anyways, It's always Tenten this and Tenten that, but never a compliment, never have I heard anyone say that I'm even okay-looking. I don't have Byakugan vision, and I don't have Lee's endless stamina. I don't have Ino's silky hair nor Sakura's cool eyes nor Hinata's cute smile nor Temari's curves and I have to suffer for it because I'm not good enough for him?...' her voice trailing off, her hand began to descend slowly towards the scroll.

When she saw Kakashi-sensei casually walking towards her with his signature 'Yo' salutation, it was too late, her finger had made contact. In slow motion she saw as countless weapons seemed to erupt out of the scroll in all directions. She tried to scream and tell him to run away but her voice didn't come out as she felt herself choking on blood. She glimpsed the nearby trees falling and when she looked at her right hand with an iron needle through it she became nauseated and unconscious.

Kakashi surveyed the level of destruction around the clearing and realized that if he hadn't used Sharingan on time, both of them would have died. Thousands of weapons had rushed out of the scroll with the only purpose of leveling the terrain in a large radius and succeeded. Tenten, like most of the Rookie Nine, was dangerous when out of control. He looked at her unconscious figure, moving out of her face the strands of hair that grazed her cheek and mentally remarked how different she looked with her hair loose.

He stopped himself at the thought. He knew he was younger than his counterparts, but still way older that Tenten. And besides he had always seen the girl with a bit of pride and a sense of admiration. She was such a hard worker, and she was able to withstand the arrogant Hyuuga, the hyper Lee and a very annoying Gai-sensei. So how could he see her as anything more than a kid? His eyes widened as he whispered in shock 'With her hair down, she looks just like... Iku-chan, one of my favorite characters from Icha Paradise!!'

He felt the shame burning his cheeks as his body reacted to his realization. Trying to keep himself together he tried to objectively survey the damage the girl had sustained. One of her hands was impaled with a needle, but everywhere else she only seemed to be scratched. Even so, it worried him that there was a bit of blood on the side of her mouth. 'This looks a bit more serious than expected, so let's rush you to the hospital before those wounds get infected' and with that picked her up and rushed off.

On the way to the clinic he was painfully aware of the friction her body was making against his. Through tears in her uniform's fabric he noticed her breasts moving to the rhythm of his movement. He cursed the kamis for seeing that and tried to look only ahead, but soon enough he was staring again as she moaned softly in her unconscious state. He didn't want anybody to notice how bodily affected he was so he carried her low in his arms to hide the tent and when they lay her on a hospital bed he stayed by her side until his groin went back to normal.

The medical nin told him she had sustained some serious internal injuries and they suspected only the Hokage would be able to heal her. Taking full responsibility for the kunnoichi's injuries, Kakashi rushed to Tsunade's office. 'She WHAAAAAAT???' yelled the Godaime in a mix of sadness and disappointment. 'And what exactly where YOU doing, Hatake Kakashi? Wait.. Don't tell me, you were reading the damned perv book, weren't you?' she continued yelling.

'With all due respect,' offered Kakashi, 'I abandoned the book the moment I saw her about to release the scroll with teary eyes and popped in front of her, only it was too late because she had already released the seals. With the Sharingan I was able to deflect most of the weapons and grabbed her, making a run from the destructions she summoned. Still, I do not believe I have acted wrong, but if you believe otherwise, I take full responsibility' 'Damn right you will' she threw back.

The Hokage's face remained stern, but inside she smiled a bit, knowing Kakashi would rather die than see one of his shinobi harmed. She softened her tone a bit and had Kakashi explain what the medical nin suspected. Without much ado, she took a sip of sake and rushed to the hospital. Shizune began to clear out the Tsunade's desk, but felt her cheeks flush as she noticed that Kakashi still stood there. He didn't move and she wondered if he was staring at her, but when she was about to say something, he had disappeared and her heart sank.

Kakashi sat on the hospital roof and wondered how everything had turned out so strange. First off, his mission to look after Tenten was weird, then she acts rashly and ends up hurt, then the Hokage accuses him of slacking off and now he had an uncomfortable time alone with Shizune. She had always been kind to him, and he always wondered if they could ever hit it off, but he doubted she'd ever get a break from her boss in this lifetime. He chuckled at the thought and automatically reached for his Icha Icha Paradise book...

'She's just a genin' he reprimanded himself, 'not quite a full woman yet like Kurenai or Shizune herself. Just a kid, and you should stop thinking she's anything like Iku-chan, after all, she's probably never seen a guy naked. And maybe she hasn't been kissed either by the look of her rantings... but her time will surely come soon, though I doubt Neji will be the lucky guy... I wonder if Tsunade will be able to restore her fully so I arrange a mission for just the two of them and see what happens' he smiled evilly and went home.

Sooooo… what do you think? I'm trying to give Tenten the sexy edge no one gives her credit for and to show that Kakashi can be vulnerable too… but will he give in? READ on!
