Chapter 2

Kakashi couldn't sleep that night. He lay thinking of Anko, thinking of how much she had changed over these pasts years. She had been so vulnerable when she came back from Orochimaru but she had built up her confidence. She had proved herself the last time Orochimaru had 'visited' Konoha.

"She held it together better than most people." Kakashi smiled softly to himself.

"If only she was mine. I would tell her that every day..." He trailed off in his thoughts.

"I can't be thinking about Anko that way. I mean look at today, and now I'm having sleepless nights over it. It's a small crush…I can and will get over it."

With this reassuring thought Kakashi settled himself down, sure he could sleep now he had calmed himself. However he found himself tossing and turning, just imagining all the ways Anko could 'torture' him.

"Ooh she could torture me all she wanted," he thought as he finally gave up on resisting his perverted thoughts.

Kakashi lay in his bed staring up at the ceiling letting his erotic thoughts pass through his head. Occasionally he gave a sigh of longing; half wishing it would all just go away. He fell into a restless sleep, his dreams populated with images of Anko.

---

Anko lay in bed, Genma's arms wrapped protectively around her. Kakashi sure had been right about her little speech slip up earlier, Genma had been very enthusiastic tonight.

"Kakashi…" Anko's thoughts wandered. " Everything about him just beckons me in. Wait... why am I thinking about Hatake Kakashi when my boyfriend is lying with his arms around me?"

Anko lay there, just pondering everything Kakashi had helped her with, every time he had been there for her. On missions when he had saved her life, and just when she needed a friend to make her laugh and make her work that little bit less boring.

"I always took him for granted. I never noticed that he was always right there ready to help me, ready to mop up the tears and blood."

As Anko came to this sudden realisation she jolted, waking Genma up.

"Huh…honey, what's wrong?" Genma said, tightening his arms round her.

"Oh. Erm, nothing just thinking. Sorry, did I wake you?"

"Well I would have thought that was obvious since I'm talking to you." Genma chuckled at his girlfriends' slowness. "What were you thinking about?"

"Okay, I can't tell the truth. Not the truth, not the truth" Anko panicked while trying to think up some random, not very interesting lie.

"Oh, I was just thinking about Kakashi," she said lightly, with a smile.

"Oh shit!" Anko silently cursed herself inside.

"You what!? Hatake Kakashi? Are you serious?" Genma yelled at her.

"Oh boy is this gonna be a long night." Anko sighed wearily.

---

Kakashi walked towards where he was meeting his genin team, over an hour late. However he laid eyes upon a sight he really didn't want to see. It was Anko and Genma.

"Strange. They're not as cosied up to each other as they usually are. Maybe something happened between them. Still better not get involved."

He carried on walking attempting to avoid them, not be dragged into whatever was eating at them. However they seemed to be determined to make a beeline for him.

"God, what is with some people?" He wondered angrily.

Kakashi contemplated making some joke about their seemingly rocky relationship but when he saw the look on Genma's face he decided against it.

"You are going to tell me right now exactly what has been going on between you and Anko," Genma ordered.

Kakashi was surprised. Him and Anko? There was nothing between them... so what on Earth was Genma talking about?

"Me and Anko? There is nothing going on between us. Honest," Kakashi replied, his tone bewildered.

"So that's why she spent all last night thinking of you?"

Kakashi threw Anko a puzzled look behind Genma's back. She threw him back one that said "So what if I was?"

"Well Genma, I can promise you there is nothing going on between me and Anko."

"Though I wish there was," he thought to himself.

"Humph." Genma snorted showing his disbelief.

Just then, Shizune came running up.

"Talk about good timing," Kakashi thought with relief.

"Anko, Kakashi, Hokage-sama needs you in her office."

Kakashi turned coolly to Anko.

"Guess we'd better hurry there then," he said with a slight grin.

"Indeed we must," she replied with a slight grin back.

As they set off Kakashi could feel Genma's glare piercing him. They walked in silence to Tsunade's office.

"Tsunade-sama is just fetching some files, she will be back shortly. Please go sit yourselves down." Shizune told them.

"Oh shit. Alone in a room with Kakashi..." Anko practically trembled at the thought.

As they sat down Kakashi remained silent. It was almost unbearable for Anko. She had to break it somehow.

"Look I just wanted to apologize for Genma just now. He overreacted. I was just thinking about how good friends we were, he had no reason…"

Anko trailed off because suddenly Kakashi yanked down his mask and pressed his lips to hers with amazing speed.

After the initial shock was over Anko found she quite liked this, kissing Kakashi. She wound her arms round his neck, keeping him locked to her. One of his arms encircled her waist; the other was cupping the back of her head, pulling them together.

Gently Kakashi pulled Anko onto his lap, never breaking the kiss. His mind was going haywire. He was kissing Anko!

"OK, breathe Kakashi, it's just a kiss, it's going to be OK," He reassured himself.

He gently broke the kiss but didn't let go of Anko. They sat there staring into each others eyes, or eye in Anko's case.

"Oh my god. I'm actually seeing Hatake Kakashi without his mask, a thing people have dreamed of." Anko was surprised she hadn't started hyperventilating.

Suddenly Anko released Kakashi's neck.

"Shit! Footsteps. Put me down," She whispered furiously, all the while struggling against his strong arms.

In one swift movement Kakashi placed Anko back on her chair. Has he pulled back he whispered in her ear, "Later, we need to talk."

He slumped back in his chair, flipped up his mask and faced the desk just as Tsunade walked in. His face was the picture of innocence.

Tsunade started to ramble about some mission she was sending them on but Anko wasn't paying attention.

All she could think about was what had just happened.

"Did I just kiss Kakashi?"
