A/N: so, here another ff, another challenge of rivendellelve, hope you like it, and i do not own naruto, i alway forget to write that g

But you know, I got worried

"So, cause you two worked so well together last time, I have another mission for the two of you." The hokage smiled at the two youths, members of the special assassination and tactical squad, short ANBU.

"Its serious" he suddenly said "one of our most important documents, the scroll of forbidden jutsus is lost. It was robbed by a ninja of iwa, that sneaked into this house. So your mission is to get the contact to one of the sovereign of iwa and spy undercover to get the neccessary information, about what they want to do with the scroll and then of course get it back. I dont think I have to tell you how important this is."

Now it was all quiet in the hokage's big office. Anko and Kakashi stood next to each other some meters away from Sarutobi. Even though he didnt look exactly at them they could hear that he was worried. There weren't many reasons why a land could steal this scroll, so it was easy to understand him. Anko looked at Kakashi, who looked back at her, they already knew in one hour they would meet at the main gate of Konohagakure.

So they were dismissed and walked out of the office. Kakashi went alone to his appartment, his half-face mask and his foreheadprotector covering his sad expression. He didnt take the direct way, but visited the grave of the heroes who die in action. He stood in front of it remembering the day he became jounin, the day his best friend obito died. He stood there for a while, about half an hour. The weather was nice, it was neither hot nor cold, just enjoyable, some clouds were covering the sky and the sun. He sighed, looked up at the sky and then walked home preparing himself for his next mission.

Anko walked down another street than Kakashi did, it was such a nice day and somehow she was really happy, not just because of the weather. It was nevertheless boring these days and such a mission and with a certain copy ninja, no less, could be fun. She was smiling at her thoughts. When she suddenly passed a shop, she stopped, turning around immediately. When she saw what they selled there, well actually she smelled it before, she raised her eyebrows, smirked and then walked towards the owner of the shop.

"Could I have 200g of dumplings?" she asked smiling.

"Sure" just half a minute later she had a box of the sweets, eating happily while walking home to prepare herself.

At the main gate, one hour after they got the mission

"Youre ready?" Anko grinned when Kakashi arrived. He nodded in reply and then they leaped through the woods. They both had their normal clothes on, but without their ANBU masks of course, they would have to spy and to pass off as iwa-nin. They jumped in silence, the old trees of the forest passed by and the sun sunk indefatigable.

It was a long way to iwagakure, they had to head north-west and the travel would take four days for sure, maybe five. And since they didnt want to arrive in iwa completely exhausted, they had to rest and get sleep, even if they wanted to hurry. So before the sun set they set up their camp for the night, they wanted to get up even before the sun would rise the next day. After their tents were build they made a small campfire, as long as they were in the land of fire, it wasnt dangerous, but since they had no entry visa, it would be in the other countries.

So they made themselves some fish that they had caught in a nearby stream. Kakashi prepared an old big log to sit on and Anko speared the fish on two staves, then handed one of it over to her teammate and sat herself down next to Kakashi on the log. She held her stave above the fire that flickered in front of the two. The sun was shortly before setting, covering all the sky in many different shades of red and orange.

"It looks beautiful!" Anko suddenly interfered the silence that had risen. She ate her fish that was finally ready to be eaten, just as he did. Kakashi didnt answer, he ate in silence but starring at the sky, it was beautiful indeed. After some minutes they finished eating, but still didnt speak, they just enjoyed sitting next to each other alone in the forest on such a nice day. The sun was already gone and it got colder. Several bugs made noises in the otherwise silence of the ending day. Kakashi thought back to the mission and thought that it would be better to go to sleep, but just when he wanted to tell his companion he felt something on his right shoulder. He smiled under his mask knowing what it was, he turned around seeing Anko asleep on his shoulder. He didnt want to wake her and so he decided to stay some minutes longer in hope she would awake by herself. Though he couldnt move by not waking her, at least he thought so, it was a pleasant feeling. He followed his thoughts looking over the area. He just hung after his thoughts not realizing the time rushing. But after some time he decided that it would be better to wake her, they had to hurry in the next morning. He looked down at her and run his hand softly over her cheek, whispering her name. But still she didnt wake. A slight smile appeared on her face, but that seemed to come from her dream. He really wondered what she was dreaming about, even more when she suddenly grapped his right arm with her hands smiling even more. But she didnt wake. Kakashi moved his shoulder making her head whiping with it. Kakashi called her name, louder than before, but the kunouichi still was asleep dreaming peacefully. The jounin next to her sighed. He didnt want to shout at her just to make her wake up, so he would just have to let her sleep, he thought. He turned his right arm, the one that Anko still held in her hands, around her and took his other arm under her knees carrying her bridal style to their tent. Inside he let her down on her mat covering her with her blanket. When she mumbled a low "Arigatou" the silver-haired jounin had to smile again, he wasnt sure wether Anko was saying this because of her dream or subconciously to thank him. Kakashi walked over to his mat laying himself on it and immediatly fell asleep.

The next morning

Shortly before the sun rose Kakashi abruptly opened his eyes. Some weird noise woke him, coming from out of the tent. He looked over to Anko, but the only thing he saw was an empty mat with the blanket being in complete disarray. He sighed, he wanted to sleep more, but because of the mission he knew he couldnt. The jounin stood up aand rolled up his mat, then he did the same with Ankos. He didnt know exatly where she was, but with a sniff he knew what she was doing –breakfast. So he slowly climbed out of the tent. But the moment he brushed the curtain of the tent aside with his usual calmness something with high speed dashed right into him...
