A/N: So, um...yeah. It's been a while. I'm trying a different writing style out, I call it the "Run-on sentences of whoa" writing style. I've been reading this one KakaIru fic, and the girl's style is similar to this, so it made me want to try it out. It's a strange little 'spur-of-the-moment' story. Hope you enjoy, as always...


One-Shot #58
Secrets
(or untitled until I can think of a better name...)

Some people would say Kakashi Hatake is a very observant man. If one would pay attention to the wild rumors thrown all about Konoha, and other villages alike, then one would know of the knack he has for sleeping without really sleeping. He can know of everything that is going on around him, as if he's wide awake the entire time, yet in the morning he can be as fully rested as a ninja could be. And, marvelously enough, they are right. It was a curse of being a jounin, one would suppose, of having the habit to not sleep while sleeping. Jounin always did have the uncanny ability to know if a squirrel is gathering nuts nearly three-hundred feet away from their current position, and they would be right, as always.

So, with the world's knowledge of what Jounin, of more properly what Kakashi Hatake is capable of, why would two Genin think they could hide something as earth-shattering as a kiss from the man?

They wouldn't, and that was the problem. Sasuke and Naruto thought that their midnight make-out sessions under the stars, when they were supposed to be keeping watch, were hidden. They were sadly mistaken. Kakashi had heard, if not seen, their rendezvous on multiple occasions and had the unnerving knowledge that Naruto was very vocal when Sasuke, apparently, hit a certain spot.

He withstood it, however, not wanting to give the budding love birds the fear that people would find out. They were able to keep it from a gossip Queen like Sakura, a mighty large task as it was, but Kakashi didn't think they'd be able to hide it for much longer. They were getting increasingly vocal as of late, and Sakura was only a sound sleeper up to a point.

During one particular mission, the boys were increasingly attached to each other, even during a fight with a B-rank rogue ninja. Of course, being Genin, Kakashi took the brunt of the battle and got hurt in the process. So, he'd imagined that with a brush with death, the two boys would forego their midnight sessions, if even for just one night. He was wrong. Sasuke had first watch, but about three hours in Naruto snuck out to join him. Of course, Naruto's idea of sneaking could wake up a deaf man, to which Sasuke scolded him for. But the scolding was apparently their idea of 'before-make-out-foreplay' and got the two boys riled up.

Kakashi tried, the poor Jounin, to keep his ears void of any unnecessary sounds the two thirteen year old boys were producing, but to no avail. Sasuke knew what to do to make Naruto let out a moan, just the right kind of moan, and Kakashi sat straight up on his bedroll. In a very un-Jounin-like manner, the man scrambled out of his tent and came face-to-face with two very heated up teenagers.

"Would you two please stop making-out and go to bed?" Kakashi growled, his eyes drawn down in anger and frustration. "Unlike you two, I had a fight today and am rather tired. So, either go somewhere else to hide your relationship or go to bed."

If one could slam a tent flap, Kakashi mastered it, and left two gaping teenagers in his path. The two looked at each other, not really sure of what to say, until Kakashi smacked the tent and growled out "Go to bed!" again.

All the next day, and all of the walk home, Kakashi barely looked at the two boys, not that they were looking at him, mind you. Sakura was the only one left in bewilderment and kept looking between each of her male teammates, not really wanting to be left out but not sure if she wanted to know all the same.

Of course, as she would soon find out on her own, when Naruto's very un-stealthy attempts to coerce Sasuke into buying him ramen, which was also their code for something very un-ramen-like, alerted her attention, some secrets are better left untold.


Gosh, I hope you like it. TTYL!
