Chapter 1: An Awkward Moment

"Shizune! Get me some tea, now!" The Hokage yelled.

The morning sun had broke over the dark night sky and spilled in the Hokage's office.

"Damn Hangover…" muttered Tsunade irritated and waiting impatiently for her tea.

A dark haired woman ran in, quickly putting the tea on her desk.

"Next time, be quicker!" Spoke the Godaime irritably with her hand shading her eyes from the sunlight.

Shizune sighed. "She's crabby and has a hangover."

Tsunade was not a morning person so it didn't make Shizune any better of than she was.

She turned her gaze from the Hokage to the sun shining on the village little kids playing…people chatting…Genins training… It was a nice sight which she enjoyed watching.

"Shizune, go get the rest of my paperwork!"

Well…for 5 seconds she got to watch it.

"Hai ,Tsunade-sama!" Spoke Shizune walking out of office of the Demon Lord. Sighing with relief she began her walk to room of paperwork or rather the room of doom as Tsunade calls it.

Shizune had stopped in front of a door that had the number '106' and quickly opened the door.

"Which one…" Her eyes were scanning the room of piled papers.

"Ah…there they are."

She started walking till her foot caught and invisible string tied each wall, inches from the ground.

She fell and hit the cold cement floor.

"Damn Konohamaru…" she mumbled as she tried to reach for the string caught around her ankle.

Footsteps from outside the room were getting louder.

"Why won't it come off?"

The door cracked open.

"Are you alright?"

A young brown haired with a scar that crossed his nose on his tan skin had stepped in the cluttered room, quickly walking over to Shizune.

"Perfect timing too…"Thought Shizune miserably.

"Ummm…excuse me but what's the matter? Anything I can help you with? "Said the man, scratching the back of his neck with a guilty smile.

"It's just…Well I just got caught…Got caught in a string" Shizune finished lamely. Her face heated up in embarrassment as she quickly turned her head away with her fingers working on the string still tightly around her ankle.

The man bent down and reached for her ankle with one hand and grabbed a kunai with the other.

Ummm…Here let me cut it" He said, quickly cutting the string.

"There." He said smiling. He got up and put out his hand to help her up.

Shizune took it stubbornly.

" I'm Umino Iruka"Said the man.

There was a moment of awkward silence.

"Well, I better go now…"Said Shizune trying to keep her focus on the paperwork in front of her.

"Okay good idea, my students are probably waiting for me." Spoke Iruka.

Shizune cleared her throat.

"O-oh, s-sorry!" Said Iruka, quickly letting go of her hand as he turned many shades of red.

"Bye." Spoke Shizune grabbing the paperwork and running out of the room of doom.

"Hey wai-!" Iruka started but she was already gone.

"Damn…I forgot to ask her name." Mumbled Iruka gazing down the hall way.

"Quit mumbling to yourself ,boy and shut that damn door!"

Iruka spun around and was face to face with an elder.

"Y-Yes sir…" Said Iruka stumbling toward the door and pressing it shut.

The elder stood there for a moment staring at him intently.

Iruka tried with all with his might not to shiver.

"Well, go after her and try to win her back!" Smiled the elder.

Iruka turned tomato red.

"N-NANI?!?"
