ACGOMN: Okay, second Chapter. I know both Kakashi and Shizune are out of character, but I can't help it. I will try to keep them in character as much as I can.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, Kishi-sensei does.

Unmasked Love

Chapter 2

Jealously and Late Night Thoughts

It was one week and Kakashi was free to go. So, Kakashi was in time to greet his team returning from a scouting mission. As Kakashi signed the papers Sakura excused herself to see Tsunade, while Sai just left. Naruto stood there waiting for his sensei, hoping his sensei will take him out for ramen. Meanwhile, Shizune was walking to another room and spotted Kakashi and Naruto.

Today Kakashi gets released from the hospital, thought Shizune, disappointed.

"Hey, Shizune," said a voice. It was Genma.

"Hello,"

"Say when do you have break,"

"In 10 minutes, why do you ask?"

"Do you wanna get some ramen? My treat,"

"Sure," replied Shizune, "I will meet you there." Shizune left to finish her rounds for the morning. Genma was walking out of the hospital and spotted Kakashi.

"Hey, Kakashi feeling better are we," said Genma to the Copy-Cat ninja.

"Yeah, what's new with you," replied Kakashi, bored.

"I just asked Shizune out and we going for ramen for lunch," said Genma, with a grin and him still chewing on a needle.

"That's nice," said the silver haired man. But inside, WHAT? She's going out with him. No fair.

Kakashi bid Genma goodbye and grinned, but you couldn't tell because of his mask.

"Naruto, how about we get some ramen," asked Kakashi to his blonde student.

"LET'S GO," yelled Naruto and dragged Kakashi to the ramen shop, Ichiraku. They jumped along the rooftops to the shop, but Kakashi spotted the book store paused and ran in to buy Icha Icha Paradise. Then Naruto had to drag his teacher out of the store to go get ramen. At the ramen shop the two entered and spotted Genma waiting for Shizune to show up. Naruto sat down and ordered miso ramen and Kakashi joined him. A while later Shizune showed up and began a conversion with Genma.

Naruto was worried for his teacher Is he still sick? Kakashi sat at his seat, but ever minute or so kept going for his weapon pouch, and then glared at the back of Genma's head with his one visible eye.

"Kaka-sensei are you alright," questioned Naruto, cautiously.

"Never been better," said Kakashi. Naruto sighed and ordered another ramen. Again Kakashi's twitched to reach for his kunai, but stopped himself. Why Am I like this? Oh, wait I remember.

Cue Flashback

It was three days since Shizune and Kakashi began there mini-tournament for shogi and currently tied 2-2. During the matches they would talk about different things. But now, somehow reached the topic of love.

"So, you never had a boyfriend, ever," questioned the Copy-Cat ninja.

"That is correct. I spent most of my life making sure Tsunade-sama doesn't gamble or drink too much. What about you? No girlfriend," said Shizune.

"Yes," said Kakashi, moving his piece on the shogi board.

"That is hard to believe," said Shizune, smiling.

"Oh really," said Kakashi.

"Yeah, you have your own fan club," grinned Shizune.

"I suppose that is true, but they're crazy," said Kakashi. Shizune laughed at him.

"Well, look at that. I won again," teased Shizune. Kakashi sighed and laid down and pouted like a five year old not getting his way.

"Don't be such a sore loser, Kakashi" said Shizune, "Well, I have to go get you food now."

"By the way I noticed that it isn't hospital food, so who cooks it," asked Kakashi.

"I do," said Shizune.

"Let me tell you that it is the best food I have ever tasted," complimented Kakashi. Shizune blushed and gave Kakashi a quick hug. She left and Kakashi had a blush, but you can't tell because of his mask, on his face. Crap, I have a crush on her don't I? Kakashi questioned himself. Then, he whacked himself in the head. Idiot.

End Flashback

"KAKASHI-SENSEI ARE YOU ALRIGHT," yelled Naruto Kakashi snapped out of it and realized that Shizune and Genma left.

"Hm...I'm fine," said Kakashi, taking out a wad of money to pay for the ramen and left for his apartment.

Later that night at the Hokage manor...

"Shizune, you are acting different," questioned the Hokage, "Who do you have a crush on?"

Shizune blushed and replied, "I have no idea what you are talking about."

"Come on you can't lie to me," said Tsunade, poking her apprentice and takes a drink from her glass.

"Fine, it's Kakashi" blurted out Shizune. Tsunade spit out her sake that she was drinking.

"HIM? I thought you went out with Genma this afternoon," asked Tsunade, surprised.

"Well, after we ate some ramen for lunch he asked me out for dinner tomorrow, but I said no," explained Shizune. Tsunade starts laughing at Shizune.

"What are you going to do about Kakashi, then,"

"Nothing I suppose"

"Shizune, go after him. Look Asuma is with Kurenai, Iruka is with Anko, and so on," said Tsunade, "You and Kakashi would be cute together."

"But he probably doesn't even like me like that,"

"Just try and see. I mean you never until you try,"

"You're right. I guess I will see him tomorrow then,"

"That is the spirit, Shizune," said Tsunade, taking another drink, while Shizune sweat dropped.

At Kakashi's apartment...

"My eternal rival let's spar," yelled Gai at Kakashi's apartment door. Meanwhile Kakashi was reading his Icha Icha Paradise and daydreaming about a certain medic ninja. Also he ignored the yelling of Gai. Outside, however, Asuma who is Kakashi's next door neighbor was trying to sleep after a hard mission.

"Gai shut the hell up. Kakashi is ignoring you. Go to sleep," yelled Asuma, with his out the door.

Okay back to Kakashi...

I should ask her out. Tomorrow I will probably see her. Thought Kakashi as he drifted into a sleep with his book still open.
