Now is your chance. Stuff Zabuza and his painful death. You wanted to get this over quickly before you could carelessly absorb any of his other memories or worse if he awakened yours. It seems that you had a past with Kakashi anyway.

"I'm sorry," you say almost in a whisper.

Pricks of tears form in the corners of your blue eyes. You grind your teeth together in frustration; you can't understand why the bloody tears even dare to bloody form. You don't know the man despite what he showed you unknowingly. Besides that you did this all the time. You were Zabuza's greatest assassin, why should any of this even matter? Emotions should never come into the job. Your hand slowly reaches behind your back for a kunai in the back pocket of your skirt. You contemplate using your prized sword but decide it would be easier not to draw attention by using a kunai. You twist your hand to ready yourself to grab the kunai. All it will take is one well aimed stab.

"Whatever for?" He asks concerned, his visible dark eye pooling with sadness and concern.

Why does he cover his other eye, he had never covered it before. You mentally hit sense into yourself and try to focus. You can't help but flinch at his concern though but shake it off and quickly grab the kunai and hold it tightly. Even wearing the leather gloves you can imagine the coolness of the weapon at touch

"I'm so sorry, please forgive me," You tell him.

Confusion sweeps your mind, you had never before apologized- but it felt right like the right thing to do. You start to slowly pull out the kunai hoping he doesn't notice but he's distracted in souring your eyes for the cause of your apologies.

Do it, you can easily finish it with a quick stab, inner you shouts, the longer you prologue it the more suspicious he will get. You prepare yourself for the fatal blow.

"IIIiiit's Guy!" A cloud of smoke explodes near the front door and you quickly put away your kunai- a tiny part of you glad you did. "And today Kakashi Hatake you will have no choice but to be defeated by the awesome Guy!" You cringe at his confidence (putting it lightly!). "Today Kakashi we will end this draw we currently stand at with a tie breaker. A tie breaker so tedious I can only prevail and be one point ahead, resulting in me being superior and CHAMPION!" He ended his speech giving Kakashi the thumbs up and flashing his white teeth (you swear they gave a "ping")

You raise an eyebrow at this Guy who's shouting even though he's only a few paces away. He's tall like Kakashi, but he's not wearing a mask. His bowl hair cut is a shiny black and he has eyebrows- big bushy ones. You sweat drop at his egotistical ramblings that he would argue as a speech. You look back at Kakashi who has only just averted his gaze from you and lazily looks at Guy.

"Huh? Did you say something?" He asks lazily, causing you to smirk.

What happens next is close to insanity and you have to dig your nails into the palms of your hands to stop bursting out with laughter. Guy went into a frenzy of rage and almost a mental breakdown, finally cursing under his breath at Kakashi for being so "cool". His eyes snap open and dart towards you as he finally realises your presence. You look at your situation and realise that you are both practically in each others arms.

"Kakashi, can I talk to you?" He looks at you, "Privately?" He asks Kakashi but you can hear the darkness in his voice.

You freeze, cursing yourself as you fear he may also know who you are.

"Why don't you go have a shower," He whispers in your ear, sending shivers through your body. "It's through there," Kakashi softly shows you looking at a door across the room that you guess must be the bathroom.

You nod obediently and blush lightly as he kisses the top of your head through his mask. You can't help but notice Guy's fists clench tightly out of the corner of your eye. You shake off his support and hobble over to the room he pointed out. You open the door and don't look back as you quickly shut the door behind you. You kneel down and turn on the cold tap, putting your head under the running water. The impact of the ice water causes you to shiver and you pull out your head grabbing a towel to rub dry your hair. You stand up leaving the tap running to give Kakashi and Guy the impression you're in the shower. You look in the mirror and see your hair is sticking up like Kakashi's but from all angles- so that's how he does it. You run your fingers through your hair you try tame it. You put your hands to your face and groan into them.

What the hell had I been thinking? Just going to kill Kakashi there and then. Zabuza would have killed me or something worse if Kakashi hadn't truly suffered. Kakashi may already be attached to you but you had never stopped at mere friendship you decide.

"Urgh!" You whine into your hands.

You were going to have to stick this one out. But even as you decided you couldn't help but think you could lose more than a former friend.

Kakashi's PoV

I kissed Shizuka gently through the mask, inhaling her floral aroma of Hibiscus and cherry blossoms. I didn't take my eyes off her slender back as she hobbled towards the bathroom, not releasing her from my sight until she had shut the door.

"Kakashi, why have you got a minor in your apartment, and looking quite comfortable with each other?" Guy asked me, worried edges to his words.

I nearly burst out laughing. Shizuka, a minor? I had to admit she did look young for her age and just as or even more beautiful. I realised that she had barely changed from her teenage self. I corrected myself- I had never seen her in her teenage years. She had left a mere day before her thirteenth summer, left being an understatement. Fled being a better description.

"Kakashi this is a serious offence, if the Hokage or any of the elders were to find out it would mean immediate banishment from the hidden leave village and possibly the whole of Konohagakure!"

"Quieten down Guy, she's twenty five," I replied in my usual lazy tone. Glancing at his face I could tell he didn't believe me.

"Kakashi I don't like to intrude but…"

"Guy you just transported into my house."

He rubbed the back of his neck nervously and smiled, "Oh yes that was because as a good rival I was coming to see if you were ok. Your team was missing you today."

Oh yes, my team. "I was busy," I said not realising my eyes had adverted towards the bathroom door.

"I can see, any way Kakashi about our match?" I sat down on the sofa and pulled out an orange book from beneath one of the plush cushions. I couldn't focus on it though; all I could think about was the sexy woman in my bathroom.

"I don't have the time right now Guy."

"So you forfeit?"

"No," I replied trying to get into the book without comparing each female character with Shizuka- she out trumped them all. I looked lazily up at Guy who should no motive of leaving soon. "Very well Guy," I sighed. "I believe although it is my turn to

choose." He nodded his head and smiled, getting into fighting stance for whatever I was going to choose.

I could choose rock paper scissors but that was too much work, and I'd have to put down the book. I turned the page and calmly stated the challenge, "First one to get a beautiful and sexy woman in their apartment. "Shizuka!" I called not lifting my gaze from the printed words that filled the page.

"Yes?" a muffled voice called back.

"What do you know? I guess I win". I said quickly turning the page.

"That's not fair!" He whined.

"You insisted," I shrugged my shoulders.

I noticed over the book at Guy who was slumped over in defeat. His head turned towards me, "Wait Shizuka. Kakashi you don't mean Shizuka Oishi? What are you up to Kakashi; she's a missing-nin!"

I rushed over to him in a blink of an eye and covered his mouth. "Yes and no one is going to find out because as far as anyone will be concerned she's just a friend visiting. I know also Guy that you won't tell them otherwise." I hated to threaten him like this but Shizuka had already had enough shit in her life and most had forgotten about her anyway. "Guy please she won't be here long and I know she'll appreciate it if you keep quiet. I know how you felt about her at the academy." It's what all the boys had thought.

"Yes Kakashi, I will keep quiet for both of your sakes and also because rivals do not have to be enemies!" He smiled at me again.

He headed towards the apartment door with me following behind, rambling on about something or another. He stepped out of the apartment and turned around.

"Wait Kakashi,"

I shut the door. "Goodbye Guy," I mumbled under my breath.

I turned around to go sit back down on the sofa but I stopped when I saw Shizuka sitting there. She had her back turned to me. I walked over to her and knelt down besides her, she had on a simple vest top and cotton shorts. Despite being short she had long slender legs and all of her body was toned but there were no oversized muscles. She turned her head around and gave me a weak smile.

"Hey Kakashi, I'm sorry about how we left. It must still be bugging you." Haunting me was a better description but I didn't want her to feel bad. I hadn't been kidding to Guy I can't even imagine the true extent to the shit she had to handle on a day to day basis.

"It's ok, come on you look exhausted, and I'll sleep on the sofa." She started to protest but I easily lifted her back into the hold I had used earlier and carried her to my bedroom.

Shizuka's PoV

There was probably no relationship weirder than that between Guy and Kakashi. You listened to their odd conversation and laughed at points while rummaging through your beaten rucksack and pulling on some clothes that you could sleep in. You looked out of the gap and saw Kakashi following Guy to the door, seeing your chance you quietly stepped out and jumped to the sofa landing softly. So Guy knew you, and apparently used to have a thing for you. Shuddering at this thought you crossed your legs and hummed to yourself. Kakashi finally noticed you and came over kneeling down in front of you. You couldn't help but catch your breath at the sheer magnificence of him and all you could see was one eye and his hair.

"Hey Kakashi, I'm sorry about how we left. It must still be bugging you." You mumbled knowing that the first thing he would badger you about was the apology from before.

"It's ok, come on you look exhausted, I'll sleep on the sofa." He decided picking you up in the same hold as earlier that day as you started to protest.

He carried you across the room and into the bedroom. You looked away from him as he carried you to conceal your red eyes that you knew must be burning. You had taken the gloves off on purpose- it would be easier if you knew the past he was so attached to. He pulled back the blanket of his double bed and put you down before pulling back the double sheet to just under your breasts.

"Comfy?" He talked down to you like a child. You held your pout from emerging. "If you need anything else,"

His face was inches from yours and his scent was overwhelming you. Without thinking you pulled down his mask slightly while closing your eyes and kissed him gently. The taste of his warm lips on yours caused the pit of your stomach to jump and send sensations you never thought you had through your body. You pull away and give him time to pull up his mask before you open your eyes. You want to curse yourself for not letting it last longer, as you feel cheated wanting more. Nevertheless it had been perfect for the time and you hadn't even planned it. You can see the smile beneath the mask and wish you could steal another but you stop your foolish mouth and smile sweetly back.

"Good night Kakashi." You softly whisper and close your eyes.

You keep your eyes closed as he kisses you through the mask on your cheek and leaves the room. At the sound of the closing door you snap your eyes open and clench your teeth.

What's happening to me?

Damn you Kakashi Hatake!
