Kakashi was laying in his bed alone lost in his thoughts. Last night he had masked himself as Sukea with the intent to meet a girl to have fun with. But then he had to stumble against you. He didn't even think about if you would recognize him or not and just started talking to you. Later he scolded himself for that, but it seemed that you still had no clue who he was.

When he reached the bar and began to search for a girl, he found himself comparing them to you. '(Y/N)'s smile is much more beautiful than hers, she looks way better than that one, or she's much more intelligent than this girl.'

When he realized what he was doing he decided to go home. What could he do about his problem? He really didn't intend to have a girl in his life right now to distract him from his duties, but he just couldn't take you out of his head. Then a plan began to form.

'I have tried to ignore and not think about her and it didn't work. Maybe if I go out with her and get to know her better I will find something that I don't like and then move on. But I'm too scared to ask her out, and I even doubt that she would accept an invitation of mine, but what about Sukea? She has flirted with me as Sukea, so would she go out with him again?'

It took him a while to fall asleep while his thoughts revolved around you...

The next morning you were early knocking on Naruto's door, but he seemed to be still asleep. He had made you get up early so you wouldn't let him sleep. You decided to teleport yourself into his apartment.

On the other side of the door, you saw his kitchen. The sink was full of dirty dishes, clothes everywhere on the ground, and dust all over the house. You made your way through the room to a door. It was the bathroom and it was also in need of a cleaning. Closing this door and open the other, you finally saw the kid sleeping in his bed.

The furry you had felt for him to let you hang got dimmed as you saw him sleeping peacefully with a hood covering his blond hair. He was only a small child living alone. How else could you expect his apartment would look like. You hated to wake him up, but if he really intended to become Hokage, he needed to be more responsible.

You stepped to the window and opened it up to let the sunlight and fresh air in. "Time to rise and shine Naruto!"

Naruto got up with a scream, not knowing what was happening. When he saw you he calmed down and lay back in his bed. "What are you doing (Y/N) sama?"

"I'm here for your training as I promised yesterday. Or have you changed your mind?"

"Of course not. I'm up already!" He jumped out of his bed and searched for his clothes. You decided to wait for him in the kitchen.

You wanted to make him some breakfast. As you were looking through his cabinets you seemed only to find instant ramen. 'Is this all what that kid eats?' On the table was a package of milk. You took a sniff and smelled right away that the milk had gone bad. You poured it out in the sink.

Naruto came out of his bedroom and saw what you were doing. "My milk, why are you pouring it out?"

"It has turned bad because you left it outside of the fridge. Do you have something else than instant ramen to eat?"

"I have cereals."

You let your head drop. He could eat more healthily. Looked like you would have much to do with that kid. But you didn't mind. You were in need of a distraction. While Naruto was eating you began to do his dishes.

After eating he declared "I'm ready for training now (Y/N) sama!"

"No your not. You still need to brush your teeth."

Contradicted he made his way to the bathroom. At least he knew better than to talk back at you. After a short time, he was back.

"Now come on, let's go."

Meanwhile, you had finished the dishes. "Naruto before I help you train, I want for you to clean up your apartment. An irresponsible person will never become Hokage. And you need to eat better too so you will become strong.

Naruto didn't want to hear any of this and began to argue. But you held your ground. "If you want me to help you then these are my conditions. I expect you to keep your home clean and that you learn how to cook. Today we begin with your home, tomorrow we will train. When I have time I will teach you to cook in the evening. If you don't agree with that I'm out of here."

"Fine." His voice sounded defeated and you felt a bit bad for him. But this was only for his own good.

The time for Naruto to go to the academy had come and you sent him out. You were pleased that he had at least cleaned his room and it looked really nice. That's why you decided you would clean his bathroom before going to your training. It's not like your captain would be there on time.

"You're late." Said Kakashi.

'Great. The only day I come in late must be just the one when our captain is on time.'

Although he had your respect on the battlefield, outside of it was another story. You wished you could say to that pervert that he should shove off. But in the end, he is still your superior, so you kept your respect. "Sorry captain, won't happen again."

After some hours of training, Kakashi was pleased.

"That's it for today guys, see you tomorrow again. (Y/N), a word please."

The fact that you were late wasn't a reason to scold you, he was late most of the time himself, but it wasn't like you. And then he felt like you had been distracted during training when you always would be focused. He could see how you progressed weekly, not just because of your team's training. He knew that you trained even afterward or went study in the library. It was his mission to keep an eye on you after all. With the words of the Hokage in mind, (to distract of his feelings for you), he asked:

"Is everything alright? You seemed a bit distracted."

He had taken off his ANBU mask and his hair was falling over his mismatched eyes.

"I'm sorry captain. I will focus better tomorrow." You were surprised he had noticed it. You were about to leave but Kakashi made you stop.

"Come on (Y/N), I am your captain but I'm also your colleague. Maybe you were used to keeping your distance from your superiors in the other world, but you don't have to do this with me. I'm here to help you and I can clearly see something is on your mind."

You stayed silent for a while. You knew you were distracted. Today was the anniversary when Nao had stabbed you. Kakashi was looking you in the eyes. His piercing gaze kept you in place. The thought 'he is really handsome with his hair like that' crossed your mind and you hoped you didn't blush. He looked really honest with you and you felt ashamed to have treated him distantly although he had always insisted for you not to. But you couldn't tell him about that, you hadn't told anyone.

You let out a sigh. "Your right, something is really on my mind, but I don't want to talk about it."

He was about to reply but you continued.

"It's not because you are my captain that I don't want to talk about it, I actually never told anyone. It's something personal and it will pass. Thank you for worrying but tomorrow I should be back to myself."

Kakashi was now even more curious but he wouldn't insist. He was just glad that you had at least said anything to him.

"As you wish. If you change your mind I'm here for you."

You watched him leave. It looked like he did care about you. You weren't used to that about your superiors...

You didn't want to go home right now, so you decided to go to the hot springs and relax. In the changing room, you met Anko who ended up making you company. She was really fun to be around. Her craziness pushed you out of your shell and the memories you tried to forget were tossed aside.

As you two were leaving the building you heard some familiar giggles. 'No, please don't let it be him gagging at women.' You were now in a hurry to ditch Anko.

"So, that was fun. See you around."

You waved her goodbye and turned around the corner stepping into the bushes and there he was, Sannin Jiraiya in person.

You put some chakra into your fist and slammed it into your old sensei's face.

"WHAT THE HELL!"

He was completely taken by surprise and needed a while to recognize you.

"(Y/N), it's you? For a brief moment, you reminded me of someone..."

He gave you a sheepish grin but it didn't faze you.

"For how long have you been here. Don't say you watched me too?"

"No, no, I just arrived. I would never dare to look at you like that. Come on, let's go before someone notices us."

As you were walking you gave him another punch. With his reflexes he could have evaded it, perhaps he thought he deserved it?

"What was that for now?" He scratched the spot where you had hit him.

"That was for you leaving without saying goodbye to me." You then proceeded to hug him. "And this is because I have missed you."

You hated to admit it, but you had missed that old pervert. It looked like he felt the same because he hugged you back tightly. He then let go of you and took out his notebook and pen. You recognized them as the ones he would use to write down his ideas for his book.

"So tell me, what have you been doing. How are things with Kotetsu? Or is there any other man?"

"How dare you ask me that? If you think I'm going to tell you anything about my love life for you to write in your new book, or even worse, to tell it to my captain, you are damn wrong."

"Come on, you have stopped my research, I need some ideas for my book."

"No chance old man. And I must hurry now or else I'm going to be late." You wanted to buy some groceries for Naruto so you could cook something at his place.

"So you have a date?"

"Well, you could say so."

"Interesting. Tell me about the guy the ." He prepared hopefully his notebook.

"Well, he is very cute, his blue eyes are just so big. He is funny, a rebel too, and has a big dream for his future."

Jiraiya was writing furiously to accompany what you told him.

"And have you kissed yet?" He asked, a bit scared but hopeful you would spill something.

"No, you pervert. He is a kid who I'm helping because he is all alone."

As you reached the store you intended to go inside but your sensei had seemingly lost interest in you.

"Since you are busy now, let's then meet later for a drink?" He hoped if you would get tipsy maybe you would talk more and if not, you would at least make a good wingman.

"If you buy, I'm in."
