A/N: Here's chapter two. Thanks a bunch for reviewing! It means a lot.

Shizune yawned, stretching her arms out in front of her. She had just had the strangest dream. There was this weird website where people wrote stories about her. And she had decided to read one that was labeled ShizGen, thinking that it was about her, Genma, and fruit. Well, lemon was not referring to the fruit.
And who walks in to see her reading it?
Genma.
Of course.
Wasn't it bad enough that she already stuttered and embarrassed herself around him? Now she had to have nightmares about embarrassing herself around him! What gives? Maybe her subconscious was trying to warn her to avoid him for a few days. Maybe she was going to do something really humiliating. If he ever found out about the massive crush she had on him she would die.
"I think she's starting to come around."
Oh. My. God.
Shizune opened her eyes and saw Genma standing over her. Her first thought was Why is Genma in my bedroom!? but then she realized that she wasn't in her bedroom. Her eyes widened and she couldn't breathe…maybe…maybe that hadn't been a dream at all. Maybe he really had seen her reading...that. She had to get out of there. NOW!
Shizune sat up without thinking about how close Genma really was.
SMACK!
Their faces collided. This wasn't anything romantic like in the movies. This was mortifying. Genma staggered backwards, his hand flying up to his nose…which Shizune was fairly sure she had just broken.
"Genma! I'm so sorry!" Shizune jumped off what she had thought was her bed, but turned out to be a huge couch. She started moving towards him. And then…
SMACK!
"AIEEEEEE!!!!" Shizune screeched, smacking her shins off something hard and falling forward. She instinctively reached her hands out to grab something.
That something just happened to be Genma.
And so they both went down.
Shizune's head was pressed against his chest. Her eyes were closed. She wanted to die, right then and there. Anything would have been better than this. Not only did she break his nose…she tripped and took him down with her.
The room was completely quiet.
And then there was laughing. Shizune recognized the laughter. Tsunade.
"Er…Shizune?" Genma mumbled. His voice sounded strange. Probably from the broken nose. "Could you…uh…get off me?"
"Y-yes." Shizune said, pushing herself up. "I-I-I'm so s-sorry." Damn her stuttering!
She couldn't look at him as he stood up. She turned to look at Tsunade, who was nearly pounding her head against her desk. At least someone found all of this funny. Then she glanced at the wall beside Tsunade's desk. There was a huge couch there; the one Shizune had been lying on. In front of that, a pile of books.
I was tripped by a pile of BOOKS!?!?
"Um, Shizune?" Genma said. Shizune took a deep breath, willing herself not to faint. She turned to look at him. "Uh, could you maybe heal my nose?"
"Oh," Shizune walked over to him, blushing furiously. She healed his nose quickly.
"It was…and then…HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Tsunade exclaimed from her desk.
Shizune glared at the Hokage before turning back to Genma.
"I-I'm so sorry. I-I didn't mean—,"
Genma surprised her by smiling and touching her cheek. "Don't worry about it."
"If there's anything I can do to make it up to you, please, please tell me." Shizune said.
"Well," Genma said. "You could go out to dinner with me tonight."
"I…," Shizune trailed off, staring at him. "Huh?"
"Do you want to go out to dinner with me tonight?" Genma asked her again.
Calm. Breathe, Shizune. Just say "yes"…deep breaths. Stay calm. He already thinks your enough of a freak.
"I…ok." Shizune mumbled.
Genma grinned. "Great! I'll meet you in front of the Hokage Tower at seven."
"O-ok."
Genma turned to go. He stopped at the door and looked back at her. "Oh, and Shizune?"
"Y-yes?"
"I really want to talk to you about that…er…story you were reading." He grinned. "See you tonight."
He shut the door. Shizune's face went pale. So he had seen the computer.
Her life was over.
"Hey Shizune," Tsunade had finally recovered from her laughing spasms. When Shizune's turned to look at her she was wiping away tears of laughter. "What exactly were you reading?"
Shizune didn't answer. She walked over and sat down on the large couch, carefully stepping over the piles of books. She had so many questions she would like to ask Tsunade, like 'Why is there a couch in your office?' and 'Why are there piles of books sitting everywhere?' but she couldn't find her voice.
Life sucked.
Really, it did.
A/N: Haha, poor Shizune! I already have the next chapter planned out in my head, all I have to do is type it. I hope you enjoyed this chap and please please review!
