...One Night at the Hokage Mansion...

"Shizune!" The angry Hokage yelled out causing her apprentice to run quickly to see what was the matter. Shizune bowed politely and replied, "Yes, Tsunade-Sama?"

"You were supposed to bring more papers for me to sign.."

"I'm sorry... not all of them are ready yet."

"SHIZUNE!" Tsunade crossed her arms and shouted out even angrier at the other woman. "YOU ARE TOO DAMN SLOW!"

Shizune hurried down the hall not watching where she was going and bumped into another Jounin and both fell over.

"Ouch, watch where the hell you are going!" Anko shouted not realizing just who had bumped into her.

Shizune lowered her head and replied,"Sorry...Anko!" the took off running.
Anko could see the tears in the woman's eyes.
Soon after she heared the angry Godaime yelling for her assisstant.

"Poor Shizune.. she sure has it tough.."

" I had better run after her and see if I can help her.."

Anko ran as fast as she could to catch up with the other woman.

...
When Anko finally managed to catch up she noticed the woman wobbling as she tried to carry a heavy stack of papers.

"Let me help you, that looks like a lot to carry..."

Shizune felt the weight of the papers lighten as the other woman took the other half. "I really appreciate your help, Anko.."

The two walked together balancing the papers in their hands.
"You've got to be really strong, Shizune!"

The short haired woman turned away feeling slightly embarrassed,
"Not really.. I don't really get to do much... besides this.."

Before long both heard Tsunade yelling for Shizune again.
The Hokage was surprised to see both Anko and Shizune
walk in the door with the papers.

"Anko?"

"Oh, yeah... here is my report from my mission.."

"Hmm.. nice job.."

"Thank you."

"How come you and Shizune were.."

"We bumped into each other on the way.."

Tsunade folded her hands and then looked both of them over.

"If.. your that tired, Shizune... get some rest.."

"ARIGATO, TSUNADE-SAMA!" Shizune yelled out and ran outside with Anko only a few feet behind her.

Tsunade watched closely as both women left.

...

"I don't see how you do it, Shizune.."

"Do what?"

"Be slave driven like that.."

"Well, she doesn't want me out on the battle field.. much.."

"Does it bother you?"

"Sometimes.. but not all of the time."

"I'm off tomorrow.. would you like to go out for lunch?"

"Anko.. I.. don't know if I can..." Shizune stthe continued, "I have to make sure I get Tsunade-Sama's as well.."

"Ha, your like the wife of the Hokage.."

"Anko..."

"We'll pick up her food first and then go."

"Thank you.."

Anko grinned widely,
"Someone as pretty as yourself needs to be treated good!"

After that, Anko took Shizune by the hand and ran with her.

"We just missed my place, Anko!"

"I know!"

"EEEP! SLOW DOWN I THINK I GOT A ROCK IN MY SHOE!"

Anko laughed and put Shizune over her shoulders and continued running.

Gai was happy and proud to see that Anko displaying the power of youth.
He gave her his trademark smile and a thumbs up.

Anko clearly paid no mind the poor Gai.

Finally, they make it to the training ground and the two sit under a tree.
"I remember as a kid, watching you out here, Shizune."

"Really?"

"Back then I thought my sensei was the greatest in the village...
while your's sucked..."

"HEY!" Shizune shouted.

"Tsunade sure proved herself in the end and also trained an excellent Ninja that is both strong and an excellent medic."

The older woman turned away and blushed, "Anko... your too kind.."

"That Sakura girl is catching right up to you.."

"I know.."

"Sasuke has already surpassed me.."

"Anko?"

"Yes?"

"What is it like having that mark on your neck?"

Anko sighed and then closed her eyes when she replied,
"My heart beats real fast sometimes and I begin to perspire and my body just panics."

Shizune looked away feeling guilty for asking such a question.
"I shouldn't have asked you that...Anko.."

"You were just curious.. that's all, Shizune.."

The older woman worked with her shoe.
"This is the damn rock that got caught in my shoe.."

The rain began to fall hard and quickly Anko removed her trench coat and placed it over Shizune. All the older woman could do was stare at Anko's breasts that were seen through her netted top.

"Ready to go home, Shizune?"

"Yes.. you can also stay until the rain stops."

Anko grinned and replied,
"So, I won't be as wet when I get home, right?"

Shizune was still at a loss for words due to her blushing and the sight of Anko's breasts.

Inside the apartment Shizune began removing her shoes and Anko followed her lead. The older woman immediately hung up Anko's coat to dry.

"Please, Anko have a seat... I need to change my clothes."

"Alright."

Shizune brushed her hair and then washed her face.
She hung up her kimono and began putting on her night gown.

When she walked back in where Anko was..
She noticed the other woman's eyes were opened wide.

Shizune blushed over the fact that the other woman kept looking.

"What's the matter...Anko?"

Anko shook away the thoughts going on in her mind and immediately responded to Shizune. "I'm not used to you dressing differently."

The older woman started to laugh and replied,
"Did you think that I always wore the same thing?"

Anko soon found herself blushing and laughing a long.

Shizune smiled and then mentioned,
"I should make tea for us.."

"Thanks, Shizune.."

"Don't mention it.."

"The storm is getting worse... maybe I should go now..."

"Wait... you can have my room, Anko... I'll sleep out here.."

Anko looked at her with surprise, "Wait, you want to give up your bedroom to me!?"

"I'll be fine... sometimes when Tsunade-Sama comes over she sleeps in there..."

The younger Ninja slapped her forehead.

"If you want me to stay... I'll stay out here..."

"But.."

"I'll be fine... Shizune..."

Soon the tea kettle began to whistle and immediate Shizune prepared the tea.

"You keep everything nice and neat." Anko mentioned.

"It's just how I am... I guess."

...

After tea, Shizune found something for Anko to slip on for the night.

"Oh..Thank you.. you really didn't have to..."

"Your the guest, and you should be comfortable!"

"I really appreciate it... Shizune..."

"Goodnight, Anko." The older woman said with a smile upon her face.

The younger woman smiled back and replied," Goodnight, Shizune."

...

In the middle of the night Anko woke up due to having to go to the bathroom.
After she finished, she immediately went to check on Shizune...
Seeing the other woman resting peacefully brought a smile to Anko's face.
She made sure that Shizune was tucked in and kissed her cheek.

"Goodnight, my friend."
