Summary

He hated kids. Detested them, but for her, he would brave them. He would sign himself up to take on another failure Genin team if only to catch the illusive attention of the woman he was head over heels in love with. Kakashi was willing to prove to Kagome that they were meant to be. Series of One-Shots.

A/N: Gah! I'm starting ANOTHER series?! Bad me! Bad bad bad! Oh well, I had so much fun writing Dinner For Two that I wanted to try my hand at Kakashi/Kagome again. This is going to be so much fun. Enjoy!

Hatake Kakashi remembered with crystal clarity the day he met Higurashi Kagome. He'd been 16, in ANBU, and had been charged with keeping an eye on a toddler Uzumaki Naruto when, out of nowhere, Kagome had appeared, taken one look at the tiny blonde's pitiful expression as he eyed the loaf of bread she'd just purchased, and swung him into her arms to take home to her family.

And when the Hatake prodigy had knocked on the door to retrieve the little Jinchuuriki, he'd received a firm solding by Kagome and a black eye for his efforts, but no Naruto. The Higurashi clan had officially staked their claim on the child and they weren't willing to relinquish him.

While Kakashi knew that the blonde would be well taken care of, the Higurashi clan was known for their nurturing nature, it was dangerous for the Kyuubi spirit to be so close to such a pure family of humans.

But the fire in the blue eyes of the second daughter of the matriarch of the clan made his heart race in the most painful way. A way that he knew and understood because of all the mushy ranting that his former mentor had done when talking about 'His Kushina'.

He was attracted to the 14 year old girl that had knocked him on his ass.
