"HEY GUYS!!!" Anko greeted them, interrupting Kurenai from her "moment"

Oy, Anko, why here..why now?, she thought in disappointment, however, Kakashi felt relieved about this and put his mask back on before Anko even noticed. But then after a few moments, Anko noticed Kakashi, and finally got why Kurenai looked kinda mad at her

"Oh, sorry, did I interrupt something?" she asked nervously, knowing that Kurenai won't be mad in front of Kakashi

"No...not..at..all" Kurenai said, trying to contain her anger I am so dead to her!!, Anko thought in panic

"Well, I guess I better go home now..BYE!!" he said before disappearing in a puff of smoke

A few moments later in Kurenai's house

"Um, sorry I interrupted you 'moment' there" she explained

"Um...it's okay, I mean, you didn't intend to do that, right?"

"Of course not"

"Well, it's been a rough day and all, so, I guess we should just let this pass"

"Guess we should...wonder what would really happen if didn't interrupt...you'd probably be happy and admit your feelings to him earlier"

"Yeah...but it still wouldn't be right, I told you I'm not telling him 'til he's ready"

"Ok..well, better get that beauty sleep, LET'S GO!!" and both went upstairs to their respective rooms and went off to sleep

The next day

Kakashi, ever since last night, was still wondering why Kurenai almost kissed him, and since he knew he can't figure it out himself, he had to consult the expert...Sakura. After training, he asked if she could stay a little and talk about Kurenai

"And that's it, she tried to kiss me" he finished

"Sensei...how could you be so stupid? The answer's right under your nose" she said

"What do you mean?"

"How stupid is he? Kurenai-sensei, your lifelong friend, is in LOVE with you!!" she blurted out

"What are you talking about? You're overreacting, she's NOT in love with me, we're just friends"

"Oh, would your friend kiss you on your cheek? And would your best friend ask you out and nearly kiss you when she got home? It's so obvious! And I thought you were so smart!"

"Ok...that's being a little mean"

"I'm not being mean! I'm being truthful..she TOTALLY in love with you! Head over heels! Why do you think she'd do all that stuff?"

"Well..you could be right...but still..I'm not believing until she admits it to me personally" then Kakashi stood up and started to walk away

"Wait! Where're you going?"

"I'm gonna go ask Kurenai if she's in love with me"

"Hey! You can't-" but Kakashi was already gone

At Kurenai's house

Kakashi burst in and saw Anko inside reading a magazine

"Anko, where's Kurenai?" he asked her

"Oh, she's at the training field with her team"

"Thanks" and he immediately ran to the field

At the training field

Kakashi found Kurenai behind a tree at the field and ran to her

"Kurenai...can...I...ask you..something?" he said in between his panting

"Um...sure..but you might wanna rest for a while"

"This is just gonna be short, ok?"

"Ok..so what's the question?"

"Are...are you in...love with me?" Kurenai was shocked

"Why would you ask?" she trembled

"Because I asked Sakura why you did all that to me and she said you were in love with me"

"Um..."

................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

What will be Kurenai's answer? Will she be even able to answer it? If she answers this, how will Kakashi react? When is a door not a door? Why am I asking you all these questions? Can you guys be patient enough to find out the answer?
