A/N: Hi again all! Hope you're enjoying the fun so far. Now, to amp it up a bit. Let's play shall we? Enjoy!

Anko arrived at work and was about to go inside when she saw Asuma talking with Kurenai. She called to them, "Hey guys, what's on your agenda today?"

Kurenai said, "Not a whole lot on mine. Just some training exercises, that is unless Hokage has a mission for me and my team. What about you Asuma?"

"I plan on taking a half day's vacation today. So I'll be busy this morning, but then it's most of the afternoon playing board games with Shikamaru. He's challenged me to a best out of five series."

Kurenai said, "But doesn't he always beat you?"

"He hasn't lost once."

"Then why do you continue to play him?"

Asuma though a minute and said, "I really don't know. I guess it's just the camaraderie or something. He's an interesting kid. He's got a good head on his shoulders. If only I could get him to be a little more motivated."

Anko said, "Sorry Asuma, a leopard doesn't change its spots."

As the three of them chatted, Asuma broke from the conversation and said, "Hey Kakashi." Anko hadn't sensed him come up behind her, but then he had a way with cloaking his presence almost out of habit. She turned and said, "Morning Kakashi," and immediately turned her attention back to Asuma and Kurenai. Kakashi just nodded to them and walked into the training academy.

Asuma said, "What's up with him?"

Anko said, "Why? What's wrong?"

"He just stared a hole right through you."

Anko though a minute wondering what was up and said, "What the hell did I do?" Then she thought, and when can I do it again? But rather than stand around chatting all morning, and wondering what was up with Kakashi, Anko decided it was time to get to business. She had to finalize plans for the next chunin exam so she had to go find Ibiki. He wasn't hard to find.

Just inside the training academy Ibiki greet Anko, "Morning Anko. Ready to work on the plans for the next chunin exam?"

Anko said back to him, "Morning Ibiki. Yeah, I guess I'm about as ready as I'll ever be. Many candidates this time?"

"We seem to have a good mix. It should make for an interesting exam this time around." He handed Anko some of the applications of the students who had been recommended for the exams by their sensei. She began to look at a few as Ibiki tried to point out a few hopefuls that he already had his eye on.

Kakashi spotted Anko in the hall talking to Ibiki. They must be going over the next chunin exam applicants, he said to himself. He thought I wonder if she'd be up for a little game.

Kakashi walked down the hall toward the two as they talked about the chunin exam. Ibiki saw him coming and said, "Kakashi."

Kakashi said, "Hey Ibiki."

Anko turned to acknowledge him and she wondered, is he following me? I wonder what he wants? She turned her attention back to Ibiki who was talking about one particular applicant and the incredible jutsu she'd learned. It was then that she heard Kakashi whisper, "You're it," and he dragged his hand lightly across the underside of her bottom. Her eyes got big, but she couldn't react. She couldn't let Ibiki know what Kakashi had just done to her, so she stood there silently as Kakashi walked away. She felt the tingly trail his hand had left across her ass. She thought what's he trying to do? He's going to get caught if he keeps this up. So he wants to play huh? I can play his game better than he can. Anko then turned her attentions back to Ibiki who was describing the abilities of yet another candidate.

Kakashi continued to walk down the hall, quietly giggling to himself at the deviousness of his little game of "tag." He stifled himself though when Tsunade approached him where two hallways intersected. Tsunade said to him, "Kakashi. I've come to a decision about those enemy ninja you and Anko encountered on the way back from your missions."

Kakashi said, "Anko?" as he looked down the hall to see her walking toward him.

Tsunade continued, "Yes Anko. Remember what we talked about?"

Kakashi quickly tuned out Tsunade and instead wondered why Anko was walking toward him now. Ibiki was gone and Anko looked like she had a mission of her own she was about to execute on him. All he thought was, come and get me, but not here! Not in front of Tsunade!

The way Kakashi was positioned; he could look the 5th Hokage in the face, and move his eye a millimeter to the right of her face and see Anko. It was the slightest of movements, and was completely unnoticeable. Tsunade didn't notice he wasn't looking at her all the time that way. Still in all, Kakashi only heard about half of what Tsunade was saying as he watched Anko walking toward him staring him down.

Tsunade continued, "The similarities are unmistakable. I'm going to send you to gather intelligence . . ." but he didn't hear her again, for Anko had stopped walking and stood next to a bench not far from them.

Anko knew she had his attention. The 5th Hokage's back was to her, yet she could tell Kakashi's eye was focused on her and what she was doing. Good she thought. It's my turn to play. She stopped next to a bench and stood there staring at Kakashi. Then she picked up her left leg and put her left foot on the bench itself. She flipped her jacket back away from her thigh, and began to adjust the kunai she kept on her left hip. She bent over as she did this, her chest practically resting on her knee, then she picked up her head and looked right at him. She knew from the angle she was at that he had a perfect view straight down the front of her top. She also knew that the position her leg was in was giving him a hint of the underwear she was wearing, that he'd surely want to add to his "collection."

Kakashi's mind went blank. Tsunade sounded like an irritating fly distracting him from what he wanted to see. He pulled himself back to the 5th long enough to hear her request of him. That's when he noticed that Anko finally stood up and continued her walk toward him.

Anko walked toward Kakashi with a clear cut purpose in mind. She was going to beat him at his own little game. She could see him stiffen a bit as she got closer, as if he was waiting for her to hit him. As she approached them she said, "Tsunade, Kakashi," and she looped around the left side of them and turned right behind Kakashi. Tsunade just nodded at her, and Kakashi did too, not knowing what else to do or say in his totally distracted state. Tsunade began talking to Kakashi again and that's when Anko took the opportunity to beat Kakashi at his game. As she walked behind him, she whispered, "Tag this," and she raked her index fingernail across the back of his neck just across the bottom of his hairline.

Kakashi wanted to die. He felt shivers reach from the back of his right ear to the back of his left ear in a heated path as if an electric current had been connected. He tried to prevent his eye from rolling at the sheer pleasure of the contact. But he just closed it for a second instead. There was no way he could stop himself. He thought she's good. She's very good. If only I could find a way to get her somewhere private right now,

"Kakashi!" Tsunade barked at him.

"Hm?"

"Are you listening to me? We have important business to discuss and I need your undivided attention!"

"I apologize Hokage. Please continue." Kakashi focused his attention on Tsunade and her "important business," while he continued to feel the hot path across the back of his neck. He was definitely going to have to get Anko back for that one. He just didn't know when, or where, but he was sure he'd think of something.

Anko spent most of her day in additional preparations for the upcoming chunin exam. She met with instructors, began to gather applications, and discussed with Ibiki and Genma which types of test they were going to expose the applicants to this time around. But the whole time she talked to them, her mind wandered to Kakashi and his little game. She was actually having a lot of fun with him this way. It was like they were kids trying to one-up each other. She could definitely play this game with him – it made her feel more comfortable about their situation. It made it easier for her to act around him without necessarily being naked. Competition was one of her strong suits. She always wanted to win when it came to games and this one was NO exception.

By her calculations, he'd strike soon. She'd have to be on the lookout because the man was VERY GOOD at tactical exercises as well as stealth. So much so that he had been able to almost flawlessly grab her in the alley the night before, without her knowing he was about to grab her. Sure she'd almost killed him in the process, thinking he was an attacker of another sort, but luckily for him, he was quick too. For the time being, Anko brought herself back to the task at hand and planned the next chunin exam with her comrades. Eventually, lunch time, and her gnawing stomach led her to break the planning session in favor for something to eat. They'd resume their planning after lunch.

In another part of the building, Kakashi spent his time with Tsunade going over his next mission. She worked with him most of the morning mapping out places of interest, and gathering documents he might need to take with him. Still, in the midst of all the planning, Kakashi's mind was turning over and over, deliberately thinking of a thousand ways he could surprise Anko. It was his turn to strike, and by God he was going to! He just had to find the right time and the right place. He found that he enjoyed himself immensely – he liked playing with Anko. And from the signals he was getting from her, she was enjoying this flirty attention just as much as he was. He realized that they didn't have to be naked all the time to have fun, even though that was his personal preference.

Soon, after Tsunade got tired of Kakashi's non-attention, she dismissed him to get some lunch. Kakashi left her and headed to the lunch room, with at least 50 ideas of things he'd do to Anko if he saw her at lunch.

A/N: So, will Kakashi see Anko at lunch? And what's going through his mind? Will Anko be prepared for him? If you like what you see so far, review please!

Next up: Anko and Kakashi prove to each other how playful, and completely devious they both can be. See you soon!
