A/N: Alright! So here y'all go. Pretty much pointless, meaningless fluff between Reyna and Kakashi but of course nothing is going to go right for them! I only own Reyna, everything else belongs to Masashi Kishimoto I only borrow them!

THE DISASTER

The next afternoon, Reyna checked with the mission desk to see if any requests had been received by the Leaf Pack, but there was nothing. She dug around the village a bit, trying to see if there was even a hint that she was wrong on the path that the Rogues had taken, but she couldn't pick up the faintest whisper that they were anywhere near the Leaf Village. She shook her head as she headed back through the village towards her own apartment building to get ready for her date with Kakashi. She shook her head, wondering how after everything she had dealt with and the amount of time she had spent with the man how the thought of going on a date could make her nervous.

Once back at her place, she hunted through the few remaining clothes that she still had there. She could have sworn she'd left a pair of heels and a little red dress in her closet. She tore her apartment apart trying to find her clothes but finally gave up, wondering where they could have gone. She settled for a short black skirt, emerald green tank top and a pair of black strappy sandals. A quick shower and she got dressed, taking in her appearance in the full length mirror in her room. That was one thing that she hated about Kakashi's. He had no mirrors. She'd have to ask him about that some time.

Shaking her head, she headed back into the bathroom to brush her hair out. She decided to leave it down and since she had the time, she let it dry naturally which always added a natural wave that never seemed to show up when she'd blow dry it. Hair done, she hunted through the drawers and medicine cabinet in search of make-up. She swore under her breath when all she came up with was some black mascara and a deep red lipstick. Grumbling she applied the sparse amount of make-up but couldn't argue with the results it still created. She shook her head and headed into the living room to wait for Kakashi, willing to bet that he was going to be late to pick her up anyway.

Kakashi glanced up at the clock on the wall of his living room and swore under his breath. He didn't have much time before he had to meet Reyna and he didn't think she'd appreciate the fact that he was late. Leaving his book on the end table, he headed into the bathroom to shower, deciding that his apartment actually felt a little empty since she wasn't with him all day. He shook the thought from his head and stepped into the shower. He turned the hot water on and yelped when an icy spray hit him instead of the usual hot stream. Cursing about having to take a cold shower, he turned the water off a couple of minutes later and stood shivering in the middle of the bathroom wrapped in a towel.

He padded into his bedroom and dug through his closet wondering what the hell he was actually supposed to wear. Shrugging he pulled on a pair of black pants, his usual black shirt and mask and a navy blue sweater. With practiced ease, he styled his hair up and out of his eyes, deciding to throw his headband on just to cover his Sharingan. Content with the way he looked, he grabbed his keys and wallet on the way out the door. On the way out of the building, he stopped at the manager's door and complained about no hot water. The manager promised to work on it immediately and Kakashi had to admit that there were times that his reputation came in damn handy.

Reyna glanced at the clock again and swore; Kakashi was now fifteen minutes late. She hadn't expected him to be on time, but she was still annoyed. Another five minutes passed before there was a knock on her door and she automatically scented the air as she approached her door. A brief smile touched her lips when it was Kakashi's scent that reached her senses, but quickly hid it as she opened the door and levelled a glare at the late ninja.

"I know, I'm late but there was no hot water in the building and I stopped to get the manager to fix it on my way out. It could be worse, I could be even later," he spoke easily before she even had a chance to open her mouth.

She started to laugh and shook her head, "Only you could already have an excuse before I can even yell at you for being late. Let's just get outta here."

She grabbed her own keys on the way out her door and fell in step beside Kakashi. They descended the stairs side by side and when they reached the street, he wrapped an arm around her shoulders. She was surprised to say the least, but didn't do anything other than to slip a little closer to him as they walked.

"So where are we going?" she asked.

"That new fancy restaurant. You look amazing by the way," he replied lazily.

"Really, you made reservations? And thanks…I think," she replied.

"Reservations; you mean you need reservations for that place?"

Reyna sighed and shook her head, "Maybe we'll get lucky and they'll have an open table for us."

"Sorry, I guess I'm just not used to this whole dating thing," he replied sheepishly.

As they walked and talked, they ended up walking underneath Naruto's apartment. They weren't really paying attention to what was above them until a large wooden box landed barely a foot in front of the pair. They both looked up and saw Naruto stick his head out the window.

"Naruto, what the hell?" Reyna hollered up at him.

"Sorry, Sensei's! It was supposed to hit the wall not the window!"

"You really need to work on your aim then!" Reyna retorted, and a quick hand sign had the box floating up to Naruto on a pedestal of shadows.

"Hey, thanks, Reyna-Sensei and I'll make sure it won't happen again!" Naruto disappeared back inside and the two of them continued down the street, Kakashi chuckling about Naruto.

She shrugged as they reached the place and Kakashi asked if they had a spare table and explained that they didn't have reservations. He was arguing with the hostess with Reyna trying not to show her amusement when she glanced up and caught sight of a familiar form making his way towards them. Iruka stepped up beside Reyna and shook his head.

"No reservation?" he asked Reyna who shook her head.

"No, Kakashi didn't make us one," she replied as Kakashi turned around and spotted Iruka.

Kakashi stepped over to them, "No luck, we can't eat here."

"Too bad, Kakashi, but if it were me taking out a pretty girl I wouldn't forget to make reservations," Iruka winked at Reyna before he disappeared back to his own table which looked like it was comprised of the other Academy Instructors.

Kakashi sighed, "Now what?"

"Ichiraku? I'm not picky, Kakashi," Reyna grinned.

"Damn, Iruka," he muttered as they left the restaurant and Reyna laughed.

"He was trying to bait you, Kakashi. You know that. He always did have a crush on me, it's just that I never saw him like that; he's a friend and a good friend at that, but that's all he is."

Kakashi nodded as they headed down the street once again. They had just reached Ichiraku when Sakura appeared, apparently on urgent business from Tsunade who needed to talk to Kakashi immediately.

"Reyna, I really can't say no," he started but she shook her head.

"It's fine, go. I'll just hang out here and have some ramen while I wait for you to get back," she replied with a smile, thinking that the universe was really starting to have fun at her expense.

Kakashi nodded, "I'll make it as short a trip as I can," he promised before he disappeared in a puff of smoke.

"You look really nice tonight, Reyna-Sensei. What's the occasion?" Sakura asked innocently.

"Kakashi and I are supposedly on a date but I'm beginning to think it was just a really bad idea to try this. Neither one of us are really the dating kind of person. It's a hell of a lot easier to just be together like we usually are than trying to do this whole out in public thing," Reyna sighed dropping onto a stool.

Sakura nodded, "I was kind of hoping you two would see that there's more between you than what you thought, but I never thought I'd see you two on a date."

Reyna shrugged and ordered a bowl of ramen and Sakura headed out of the shop explaining that she had to get back to her shift at the hospital. Reyna nodded to her and slowly started to eat. She glanced over her shoulder when she heard Naruto approach. The blonde dropped onto the stool next to her and automatically ordered a bowl as well.

"Hey, Reyna-Sensei," he tried to sound like his usual self but to her keen hearing told her otherwise.

"Naruto, something wrong?"

He shrugged, "Not really. I just wish someone would help me figure out that damn box. What are you all dressed up for?"

Reyna cringed, she really didn't want to explain that she and Kakashi were on a date, "I started out with a reason to be dressed up, but I'm starting to think it was a waste of time. If you want after we eat we can go and talk for a while."

"Alright, sounds good to me," Naruto grinned before he dug into his ramen.

When the two of them were finished, they headed out of the shop. They spent the next several hours sitting on the rooftops discussing anything that happened to jump into their heads. In that time Kakashi had spoken to the Hokage and made his way back to Ichiraku. He was disappointed when he realized that Reyna was no longer waiting there for him, but the owner informed him that she had left with Naruto but had left a message for him that she wouldn't be too long in getting back.

It was fully dark when Reyna jerked her head up and muttered under her breath, "I really need to get back to Ichiraku."

Naruto looked confused, "Why? It's closing in like five minutes or so."

"I was supposed to meet someone there and it completely slipped my mind. I really need to get back before he thinks I just ditched him," Reyna explained, pushing herself to her feet.

"Him? Who were you out with?" Naruto asked curiously.

"Never mind. Look, I'll catch up with you tomorrow for training at one. Good night, Naruto," she replied before jumping lightly off the roof and landing on the street below them.

"Yeah, right. Now I've got to know who you were out with," Naruto muttered to himself before following her, though he remained on the rooftops.

Reyna sped down the street back towards the ramen shop. They were just closing when she reached the entrance and Kakashi stepped out onto the street. She didn't mean to run into him at top speed, but that's exactly what she did. With a startled yelp, she tackled Kakashi back into the wall of the shop.

"Reyna!" Kakashi exclaimed as he regained his balance and she scrambled away from him.

"Sorry, I was talking with Naruto and the time just got away from me," she explained breathlessly and Kakashi chuckled. "What's so damn funny?"

"You. I thought I was the one who always had to come up with the excuses for being late."

Reyna rolled her eyes and shook her head at him, "At least mine is the truth."

Kakashi continued to chuckle but draped his arm around her shoulders, "What do you say we just give up on this and get some sleep?"

A choking sound from above them had them both raising their heads towards the roof. Reyna groaned when she caught a glimpse of Naruto's blonde hair. So much for making sure he didn't find out who she was out with. It was almost a guarantee that the entire village would know about it by the following afternoon.

"Naruto, it's late. You should probably consider heading home and getting some sleep before our training tomorrow. You're going to need it," Kakashi called casually after their team mate before he started off for his own apartment with Reyna.

"Finding this out will be worth it!" Naruto called after them and Reyna growled low in her throat.

"Relax, Reyna. You know how he is," Kakashi muttered to her.

She shrugged as they walked along the street. It didn't take them long to reach Kakashi's apartment and they headed up the stairs quickly until they reached his door. Tacked onto it was a notice from the manager of the building informing them that the entire hot water heater had blown up when he had tried to fix it and it was recommended that all tenants find other sleeping arrangements for the night until the company could replace the unit the following morning.

Kakashi sighed, "Can anything else go wrong tonight?"

"Probably. Look why don't you just grab some clothes and stuff and stay at my place tonight for a change of pace?" Reyna asked.

He nodded, unlocked his door and the two stepped inside. Reyna thought over what she had at her apartment for herself while Kakashi was packing his own things before she decided that she should grab a few of her own things from there as well. The two headed back down onto the street ten minutes after they had left it and started back across the village to Reyna's apartment. As they walked, she laid her head against his shoulder, finding that she was far more tired than she thought she would be. As soon as they reached her apartment, she unlocked the door and they stepped into her sparse apartment.

"I'd give you a tour, but it's pretty easy to find what you want. Living room; you're in, kitchen to the left. First door on the right of the hall is the bathroom; second door on the left of the hall is the bedroom. I'm going to change and crash," she informed him before slipping away from him and disappearing into her bathroom.

Kakashi glanced around the sparsely furnished apartment and shook his head. He headed down the hall, stopping at the first door on the left to see what was inside that room since she hadn't mentioned it. He cracked the door open and stuck his head inside. At first glance it looked nearly empty save for a few books, pictures and weapons. He was about to leave the room, when he spotted a small table with candles and a couple of pictures. He recognized the one picture of the wolf pack but it took him a few more seconds before he finally placed the woman in the second picture; her mother. Silently, he closed the door behind him and slipped into the bedroom deciding he would never ask about that room.

He was changed and staring at her small bed when Reyna stepped in the room behind him. Everything about the place was small, from the rooms to the furniture. Reyna stood behind his right shoulder and tilted her head to the side, wondering what he was contemplating about her bed.

"How the hell are we both going to sleep on that small of a bed?" he finally asked her, glancing over his shoulder to her.

"Very carefully. I didn't really think about that when I suggested we stay here tonight. At least it's only one night," she replied before stepping around him and sliding into the bed against the wall, lying on her side. "Just don't kick me into the wall, alright?"

Kakashi sighed, "This is going to be a long night, Reyna."

She nodded as he slid in beside her and somehow the two of them both managed to find a comfortable position. Reyna ended up on her left side, her head on Kakashi's right arm. He was facing her, laying on his right side, thankful that the wolf was a good head shorter than he was so he wouldn't end up eating her hair all night.

"We are never, ever having a date night again, Reyna. Let's just keep going with what we've been doing; it seems to work out better for us that way," he muttered a few minutes later and felt her nod against his chest.

"Agreed, but, Kakashi, what exactly are we?" she asked, settling in against him.

"Why do we need a title?"

"Good point," she muttered.

A/N: Alright, another chapter down in the books as complete. I think I may have finally kicked the writer's block for a while anyway! Please review and let me know what you thought!
