A/N: First of all I want to thank all my reviewers and everyone who read my story. Special thanks to meatballs in the impala for the idea to end my story with a chapter from Kakashi's and Anko's point of view. I hope all of you like it :)

Kakashi

It had begun as a casual relationship, with Anko being the one to suggest it. Now it had changed and others helped him realize it.

First there was Asuma who surprised them by their goodbye kiss before a mission. The copy shinobi hadn't thought much of it until Asuma pointed it out to him later. One of his best friends had seen something he didn't at that time.

Then there was the Third Hokage who was informed about their relationship by an Anbu. It was when Sarutobi suggested he end things with Anko that he realized how important she and their relationship was to him. He didn't want to lose her and what they had, no matter how others looked down on them. Of course the Third Hokage couldn't congratulate them in his official position on their relationship, but Kakashi was relieved that as a private person Sarutobi approved of them. He had known him since he was a child and somehow he was like a father figure to him, so his opinion mattered to him.

It wasn't until they meet his team in the restaurant that he realized something else. The three people who were so important to him should get to know Anko. He wanted them to love her as much as he did. That was when it hit him. He loved Anko.

Anko

It was true she had been the one to suggest a casual relationship, but she never thought it would develop into that.

The moment Asuma saw them it got difficult. She didn't know why she felt the need to go to Kurenai and explain her relationship to Kakashi. Somehow she found herself more trying to convince herself than Kurenai that it was only a casual relationship.

At that time her feelings were all over the place and it got only worse when they met Kakashi's team at the restaurant. She felt exposed, but he had still insisted for her to stay despite how uncomfortable she felt. That had brought up the question why she felt like that to begin with. Why was it so important to her what these three thought of her? The only answer she could come up with, was that it was because their opinion mattered to Kakashi. The realization and the deep of her feelings scared her and she didn't know what to do.

Then there was Kakashi's and her conversation after the mission to the Land of the Sea. It was the first time she thought it was somehow nice to have someone cared so deeply for her. The moment Naruto had accepted her in his own way it hit her. The reason she wanted Kakashi's team to like her and why she felt these strange thing when the copy shinobi was present. She loved Kakashi.

Both

It took a while, but the way others saw them and their relationship helped them to see their feelings for each other.

'The way we see us.'
