Hey everyone!!! I was glad that when reading the reviews to the first chapter, that no one screamed at me. I know that you are all broken up about Kakashi and Rayne being apart but, so am I. I mean, they are officially my favorite couple, and not to mention, Rayne is my character and i have become fond of her. Writing about her being sad is...saddening. BUT, thats just the direction the story took. Anyway, Im rambling again, I hope ya'll enjoy chappy due!

CHAPTER TWO:Triangle

'Kotetsu shouldnt even be here,' Kakashi thought while resisting the urge to glare at the back of the other man's head. 'This mission should be just me and Rayne. That way we could sort things out. She only brought him along we couldnt get a chance to talk...Damn...'

Rayne, Kakashi and Kotetsu were all in Tsunade's office, waiting to get the mission details. Kakashi leaned against the wall, next to the door. Rayne and Kotetsu were seated in the two chairs, opposite the Hokage.

"Okay, well, I had originally only planned for the mission to be with Rayne and Kakashi, but, as it seems its now a three man team, i had to make some adjustments," Tsunade began after looking up from the mission filke she had been tweaking. "This mission is one involving undercover work."

Rayne closed her eyes, and took a breathe. She had been avoiding any undercover work because they tended to be the ones where the people you get involved with, have their associates get revenge. Usually they went after family. And Rayne now had a pretty big one. There were her kids :Haine, Haru, Kasume and Kakomi. Her students: Tuomo and Kai. Her friends:Kurenai, Shizune, and many others. That was a whole lot of people who's lives were soon going to be endangered. She didnt like this mission already...

Tsunade noticed Rayne's reaction and sighed. "Rayne, I know, you're worried about the kids. But, you are literally the only woman for the job."

Rayne opened her eyes and gave the fifth a questioning look.

"Well, the mission is to find out the trading spot for the Akatsuki. There is a man, Yoro Higano, who is the man you go for when you need anything illegal. Anything. We have gotten tips that he has been selling jutsu to the Akatsuki," she detailed.

"Why does that make me the woman for the job?" Rayne asked confused.

"Our spy has told us the kind of woman Yoro...prefers," Tsunade explained. "We showed him some pictures and told him to pick the kunoichi that Yoro would most likely be interested in. He picked your picture. He is Yoro's best friend and so, we trust his judgement. He says you are the right size and shape for Yoro, his exact type--looks wise."

Kakashi cleared his throat, "And what, exactly, will Rayne have to do?" he asked, his voice carefully emotionless. He did NOT like the idea of Rayne being anyone's type but his. Especially a criminal's.

"She will have to gain his trust...By any means necessary." Tsunade kept her voice firm, even as Kakashi shook his head.

"I wont let her," he said feircely.

"Kakashi," Rayne began, but was cut off by Kotetsu,

"She cant do a mission like that. Kakashi's right, its a bad idea."

Rayne glared at both men. Who the hell did they think they were, treating her like an inexperienced child! She was a seasoned and skilled kunoichi. She turned to Tsunade, "I'll do it."

"No," both Kakashi and Kotetsu said at the same time. Then they glared at eachother.

Tsunade noticed this and looked at Rayne, who was rolling her eyes, and decided she would check up on them when they got back. She would observe them. It seemed that Rayne had won the hearts of two of her shinobi. That was a bad thing. For Rayne, the guy she rejects and the village. This would affect missions.

"I'll take it," Rayne said again, now ignoring the two men.

Tsunade nodded, "Okay, good. Rayne, You will be the daughter of the wealthy Hige Higano. You will be staying at the same hotel as Yoro. make sure to catch his attention. Kakashi and Kotetsu, you two will be her bodyguards her father assigned. Make sure she doesnt get into trouble."

Rayne sent a glare at the Hokage playfully before turning serious and taking the file on Yoro. Kakashi and Kotetsu both watched her as she read profile.

"Innocent," Rayne said, lookingup at Tsunade.

"Hm?"

"That is the type of girl he'll fall for. Innocent, shy, easily dominated. A sheltered, pure, woman that he can be in charge of. He likes to be in control and dominate. If I am timid and follow him, he'll be in his comfort zone and not get suspicious. I am NOT going to like this mission," she explained, muttering the last part. She was going to have to go WAY out of her comfort zone on this one. She was the opposite of shy, timid and ,most of all, easily dominated. She was strong, outspoken and independent. Her natural personality and the one of her alter ego were polar opposites. This wasnt going to be easy.

Tsunade thought about what she said for a moment before nodding. "That is the safest way to play it. From what I read in his file, he is always in charge and hates anyone who questions it or is too outspoken. Shy and innocent is his turn on."

Kakashi growled inaudibly. That bastard better not get turned on by HIS Rayne. I repeat, HIS Rayne. The mother of his children and the love of his life.

Rayne heard the growl, her ears seemed to be fine tuned to hear any sound he made. If he was in the same room, she seemed able to hear his heart beat. She turned to see him staring down at his clenched fist. When he sensed her gaze on him, he unclenched his fist and looked up, meeting her gaze. His glare disappeared and his gaze softened.

Rayne looked away and back at Tsunade quickly. 'Damn,' she thought with an inward sigh, 'How the hell am I gonna complete this mission when he gives em looks like that?'

"Kakashi and Kotetsu, your names will be Tamon and Haruya. Kakashi- Tamon, Kotetsu-Haruya. You are to just follow her around and make sure that the only one who thinks of getting near her is Yoro. When she enters a room with just him and her, be at the door. Do not leave them alone, he would take advantage of the situation if given the opportunity and then Rayne would be forced with either aborting the mission or sleeping with him. Im sure she would opt for neither," Tsunade said, giving Rayne and apologetic smile when she saw the younger woman wince at the idea of having to choose between the success of the mission and having sex with a criminal.

"That wont happen," Kakashi said with a tone of finality to his usually emotionless voice.

Tsunade noticed Rayne visibly relax. Maybe not all the trust had left...

"We'll stay with her at all times," kotetsu agreed with a smile at Rayne, who returned it with a smaller one.

"You leave tomorrow moring at dawn. Go prepare for the trip. Rayne, dont forget to to bring clothes that will fit your new identity," Tsunade dismissed them.

"Hai," Rayne said as she, Kakasho and Kotetsu bowed and left the office.

"Rayne, can we talk?" Kakashi asked once they were out of the office.

Rayne was hesitant for a minute but then nodded slowly. "What about?" she asked, purposefully avoiding that eye of his. Usually, his eye portrayed boredom and little emotion, but when he wanted to , he could make her forget what she was saying with that lazy eye. And, unfortunately for her, he knew it.

"About how I think this mission is a bad idea."

She sighed and met his eyes. "Kakashi, I know what Im doing. I can handle it. I just have to play my cards right. Dont worry about me."

"Did you just say NOT to worry about you?" he asked incrediously, making her lips twitch into a small smile.

"I meant, try not to worry as much. Besides, I have both you and Kotetsu to protect me if something happens and I cant do it myself." She gave him her usual nod but this time, she gave him a small soft smile as she turned and headed home to get the kids ready to go to Genma's and Shizune's while she and Kakashi were on the mission.

It really made it hard for her to stay angry at him when he got so worried and overprotective and so, she couldnt resist giving him that small smile.

But, it gave kakashi hope. She still loved him.
