Title: Age is nothing but a number

Pairing: KakaHina SaiHina KakaHinaSai

Okay this is my very first KakaHina story and I do like Kakashi's character a lot on the show but I don't know his personality that well…all I really know is that he likes to read those books. So please forgive me if he is out of character. I might have to read about him more on the wikipedia site so I can grasp his personality a little more.

And yes this will be my first story without Sasuke having any part to it.

Summary: A lot has happen in the two years since Naruto has left for his training but the biggest thing that has happened is the relationship between Kakashi and Hinata. The two keep their relationship a secret so no one knows but people always see the two hanging around each other. Kakashi always tells them since Kurenai is pregnant that he trains Hinata which of is a lie…about him training her.

So please enjoy this first chapter:

Oh also I encourage for KakaHina fans out there to write some KakaHina fics because they're aren't many out there on this site like there is for other Hinata pairings and Kakashi pairings. So if you have an idea for a KakaHina story please write it…that is if you are able to.

Hinata's POV

Years have passed by…well actually only two in half years to be exact. Everyday I think to myself have I've grown to become stronger? Sure I have become a Chunnin now but father still seems to think that I haven't changed that much since I was a Genin. I try I really do but…there is nothing else I could do.

"Naruto-kun…" I whisper to myself.

He has been gone away for training with Jiraiya-sama. Things have been really different since he has been gone. I'm so use to seeing his grinning face and hearing his loud voice. I never told him how much that I loved him.

Sometimes I curse myself for being so shy around him. I want to become stronger so he will notice me…notice me like how he notices…her. I envied her…Haruno Sakura. She is smart, strong, beautiful and most of all she had his attention unlike me.

I must be very dull and weird in his eyes. I sighed as I looked out the window out at the stars. It was night time in Konoha…my favorite time of the day. Mostly because I could look up at the stars and the moon, it was one of my favorite things to do.

I stood up from my bed and walked towards the window and opened it. I looked behind me before jumping out the window.

I have been leaving the house at night like this almost every night. I wanted to be alone…not like I ever had people around me to make myself feel like that. I was always alone and I hated it.

I slightly frowned as I leaped through the village heading for my favorite place to go when I wanted to be alone.

When I arrived I smiled to myself. It was always so beautiful and peaceful here. It was known as Konoha's Lake. Yes a very simple and plain name but the lake was very stunning. Trees with bright green leaves on them everywhere with a huge waterfall and the rocks shaped as steps as the water fell down forming the waterfall. Small trees grew from the water so there were a few small trees in the water while pink flower petals were floating on top of the water. And the air smelled clean and fresh here making it a very peaceful place to come to.

I smiled as I took a seat on the grass looking at the waterfall. "It's so peaceful here at night" I thought out loud. As I was sitting there letting my worries slowly fade away I heard a noise from behind me.

I looked behind me as my hand gripped onto my kunai getting ready to attack whoever it was.

"Hold it" I heard the voice say. I recognized the voice as I removed my hand from my kunai.

"Hello sensei" I said in a whisper as I watched him walked towards the tree that wasn't to far as he leaned on it.

"I didn't think anyone came here but me" He said as he looked up into the sky at the stars.

"I thought the same…I come here almost every night" I said looking up at the stars as well.

"Yes this place is a very nice place to just come and to relax. It's very peaceful here and calm" I heard him say. I turned to look at him and smiled.

Kakashi had started training me for awhile since Kurenai is pregnant but he hasn't been training me for a long time now. I figured it was maybe because he realized that I'm weak and will always remain the weakest of the rookie nine.

I know I shouldn't think so lowly of myself but sometimes I can't help myself. I let out a sigh before looked away from him.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing…I was just thinking" I said to him. I glance at him from the corner of my eye to notice him reading one of his books. I slightly blushed knowing what he was reading. I heard from Naruto once that those are pervert books that he reads and he reads them even when he was training team 7.

I slightly giggled at the thought but I quickly stopped giggling when I noticed him giving me an odd look.

I stood up as I looked at him. "Well I better get going now" I said as I bowed to him before walking off but I noticed that he was following me.

I stopped walking and turned to him giving him a questioning look. "I'll walk you home" He says to me. I slowly look away from him and nodded my head.

This isn't the first time he has done this. He has been acting very strange around me for awhile now. I've caught him staring at me countless of times but whenever I look at him he looks away. He told me once that he thought that I had a beautiful smile…and of course I blushed at that statement since it was a first for me.

Once when I was walking I tripped and he caught me before I fell and held me in his arms for the longest just staring at me. I was feeling very nervous that day but I felt even more nervous and awkward when he compared me to a woman in one of his books. When he told me that I tried avoiding him for the longest…maybe that's one of the reasons why I haven't been getting any training done by him anymore.

As we were walking together I glanced up at him. I was always very curious as too what he really looks like and almost tempted to ask him to take off the mask. But I wouldn't dare ask him that. But I had a feeling that he was very handsome.

I shook my head quickly. "Did I just think that?!" I shook my head once more. I shouldn't be thinking of him in such a way…besides I like Naruto.

"…Naruto-kun…" I sighed.

"Ah yes Naruto. I received a letter from him and he will be returning back in six months from now" I turned to looked at him.

"R-Really?!" He nods his head but I noticed a look in his eye…a look that I couldn't read.

"Yes…will you tell him?" I looked at him while blushing as I looked away from him.

"T-Tell him what sensei?"

"Tell him how you feel" He looked down at me as he stopped walking. I stopped as well looking at the ground.

"I-I don't know what you're talking about sensei" I lied not wanting to talk about Naruto to him. He sighed as I looked up into the sky.

"Hinata…" I heard him say. I looked up at him waiting for him to finish. "It's nothing…come on let's just get going" I looked at him in a puzzled way but I nodded and followed him.

The walk to my home was silent and awkward to me. When we finally arrived I looked at him and smiled.

"Arigatou for walking me home sensei" He smiled as he looked at me.

"No problem. I couldn't have a young beautiful girl as yourself walking home by herself now could I?" He smiled as he looked at me. I blushed.

"S-Sensei…?" I was speechless. Did he just say what I think he just said? Before I could even ask or say anything he started walking away.

"See you tomorrow Hinata" He said as he waved.

I stood there not knowing what to think…

"What's going on?" I asked myself as I watched him until I could no longer see him.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Normal POV

It was the next day now and she was training in the training grounds. The Hyuuga's teammates tried to get her to leave with them but Hinata refused to leave telling them that she need to train more.

So there she was hitting the training post until her hands bled. She stopped as she sat down panting. She looked at her hands and sighed. She began wrapping her hands with the bandages she had brought with her.

As she was wrapping her hands she sensed a familiar chakra making her stop to look up.

"Yo…" Hinata smiled.

"Hello sensei" He smiled from behind his mask as he walked towards her. "So I was thinking that maybe if you wanted to we could hang out?" He asked her.

"N-Nani?!" She looked shocked as she looked at him. She couldn't understand why he wanted to hang around her.

"It's up to you. It doesn't really matter to me" He said in a bored tone as if he didn't care. But in his mind he was hoping that she would accept. Yes it was true the mask ninja had the hugest crush on the female Hyuuga had have for awhile now.

He knew that he wasn't right to feel this way about a girl who he is fifteen years her senior but he couldn't help himself. He tried and tried to fight the feeling but he couldn't. He remembers countless of times her watching his student when she was younger. He almost felt bad for her when he noticed that his student didn't seem to notice her.

It was when she turned fifteen when he started noticing her and he became attracted to her. There has been many times where he almost wanted to ask her out but couldn't bring himself to ask her. He remembers telling her that she reminded him of a woman in his book and how she avoided him for almost two weeks after that. He made a metal note never to do that again seeing how it scared her.

He looked at her waiting for her to reply. If she were to say 'no' then he would never bother her in any kind of way but if she says 'yes' he will try to get closer to her…

"A-Ano…I guess it doesn't matter" She whispered as she looked at the ground blushing.

He smiled from behind his mask. "Okay…do you have any place special to go?" He asked her as he took a step closer to her.

She thought for a moment before shaking her head. "It doesn't matter to me sensei" She smiled gently at him.

"Okay then shall we get going then?" He asked. She smiled at him as they started walking together.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

As the two were walking Kakashi glanced at her and smiled. "So Hinata how is Kurenai? Is she doing okay?" She nodded her head.

"Hai she is doing very well sensei" She smiled.

He nodded his head. "That's good, I'm happy to know that she is okay" He smiled at her from behind his mask. "Sorry that I haven't been training you in awhile, I have been really busy lately with missions of the sort" He stated taking a glance down at her.

She looked up at him when she listened to him. She had always wondered why he hadn't been training her but now she knows that it wasn't the reason that she thought it was. "Ah it's okay, sensei" She smiled at him. Although she wanted to become stronger she wasn't going to hold him accountable for that since he had been caught up in missions.

He smiled from behind his mask as he looked down at the Hyuuga female. It was taking all his will power not to pull out his latest volume of the 'Come Come' series, he didn't want to seem rude to Hinata but he had to know what was going to happen between the princess and the Ronin in the chapter that he was reading.

"So how are things with your family?" He asked fully well knowing that she wasn't that close with her father but he wanted to know if things have at least gotten better between them. He noticed her sad expression as she shook her head.

"Iie…things aren't going so well demo" She looked up and smiled brightly trying to hide her pain. "I'm fine…" Kakashi just stared at her sensing that she was lying but he didn't say anything about it and just decided to drop the subject.

"S-So sensei where-"

"Hinata-chan I didn't think that I was going to be seeing you today" Sai smiled as he looked at the Hyuuga girl. Kakashi mentally groaned.

"How could I forget about this guy…?" Kakashi thought to himself as he looked at the male. He had known that Sai and Hinata have become pretty close over the past year. He didn't know if Hinata knew this or not but he sure did and that's that Sai actually has a huge crush on the Hyuuga. Sai was there to be the replacement for Team 7 when Naruto comes back but until then Sai has been doing missions for the Hokage until he is placed on Team 7.

"Yes I didn't think that I was going to be seeing you either…um" She paused as she glanced over at Kakashi as did Sai but he narrowed his eyes. "So Kakashi-sensei you were going to train Hinata-chan?" Sai asked while looking at the copy ninja.

"Um something like that" He stated not really wanting to talk with the ninja. Sai nodded his head as he glanced back over at Hinata.

"Well I guess I'll see you around then Hinata-chan…" He smiled happily at the female as he shot Kakashi a fake smile before walking away. Kakashi saw right through the smile but made no comment on it.

"I see you and Sai have gotten pretty close, I'd say he is closer with you than he is with any other ninja here" Kakashi smiled from behind his mask.

"Hai, Sakura-chan doesn't seem to trust him that much. But I believe honestly that she doesn't want anyone to take Sasuke's place on the team" She stated but then paused as she glanced up over at Kakashi knowing that was his team.

"H-How do you feel about it sensei?"

"Me? Well it is different without Sasuke being here but you get use to it" He said as he glanced away from her.

"Hmm"

"S-Sakura-chan really misses him, I never knew Sasuke-kun that well but I believe that Naruto will bring him back" She smiled thoughtfully as she blushed slightly. Kakashi smiled at her for a bit before looking up ahead.

"Come let's go to get a bite to eat" Kakashi stated as he started walking towards the small little eatery café. Hinata nodded her head as she followed him towards the café. As they were walking inside the small café Kakashi decided to sit down in the table that was outside.

"So do you know what you're going to get?" He asked as he glanced down at the menu before looking back up at her. Hinata shook her head as she looked at menu.

"Iie, what about you Kakashi-sensei…?"

"Mmm well-"

"Hi my name is Mitsuki and I'll be your waitress today" She smiled brightly mainly looking at Kakashi. She looked to be maybe around the age of twenty-five with long brown hair and with bright brown eyes. Kakashi slightly blushed as he coughed to clear his throat.

"Well we're not ready yet" Mitsuki nodded her head as she sent Kakashi a wink before walking off. Kakashi stared at her walking away in a dreamy way before he heard Hinata giggle, he quickly looked back over at Hinata as he laughed nervously.

"Eh, sorry about that"

"It's okay sensei…" She smiled as she continued giggling. Kakashi smiled at her giggle as he let out a small sigh.

"So after this what would you like to do?" He asked as he glances at her. She slightly shrugged her shoulders as she shook her head.

"I-I'm not sure…anything that you have planned I suppose is fine"

Kakashi smirked under his mask. "Anything she says…" He thought to himself but he quickly shook his head for thinking the way he was thinking. "Well we'll figure something out before the day is over" He smiled at her from behind his mask.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Hinata laughed listening to Kakashi telling her stories of his days training team 7 and how Naruto was as they were eating. She had to admit she was having fun hanging out with Kakashi, he wasn't such a bad person to hang out with. She slightly blushed as she stared at him.

"His very handsome, I bet he'll be even more handsome if I were to see what's behind the mask" She thought to herself as she looked away from him trying to hide her blush. She knew that she shouldn't be thinking about Kakashi in that way, when she looked up at Kakashi she found him staring at her with a look she couldn't quite understand.

"Ka-Kakashi-sensei…ano…?"

The silver haired jounin snapped out of his thoughts as he smiled. "Ah gomen Hinata, I was just thinking about something and I didn't realize I was staring until I heard you calling me" He stated as he laughed nervously. She smiled as she shook her head.

"It's okay sensei" She smiled brightly at him. He blushed as he looked away from her as her.

"Erm so…shall we go now" He asked her as he stood up from his seat. She nodded her head as she stood up as well. As they were getting ready to leave the waitress rushed over towards them and stopped in front of Kakashi as she slipped him a piece of paper. Hinata watched as the women blushed and walked off while Kakashi seemed to have smiled from behind his mask but stopped smiling when he noticed that Hinata was looking at him.

"Eh, well let's go" He smiled at her as he continued walking as she soon followed him. As the two were walking it was a very awkward silence Hinata wanted to say something to break the silence as did Kakashi but nothing came to their mind. "Would you like to do this again sometime, Hinata?" Kakashi asked her as he stopped walking as he glanced down at her. She soon stopped walking as well as she looked at him and nodded her head.

"Sure I wouldn't mind it at all Kakashi-sensei" She smiled.

"That's great…until then how about we just walk around a bit. How does that sound?" Hinata nodded her head as she smiled up at him. He didn't know what he wanted to talk about with her while they were walking. He couldn't stop himself from taking quick glances over at her as they were walking. She was such a beauty to him, so different from any other. He found himself smiling forgetting the fact that he was staring at her.

"Kakashi-sensei?"

He snapped out of his thoughts when he heard her soft sweet angelic voice call out to him. "Sorry, I keep dazing out on you like that Hinata. I have a lot on my mind" He chuckled. She shook her head indicating that it was fine. He smiled at her nodding his head.

This whole entire time he has been thinking very perverted thought about her and each time he was staring at her she always managed to catch him staring. He thought about what they could do next, he placed his hands in his pocket his eyes widened a bit when he felt the piece of paper in his pocket. He sighed to himself taking his mind off the other woman.

"Well about yesterday…you really care about Naruto don't you?" He asked her. He had a feeling that she most likely didn't want to talk about Naruto with him but he couldn't think of anything to talk about with the shy quiet female ninja.

Hinata tensed looking down at the ground. "Hai…why are you so curious about that sensei?" She asked while looking up at him slightly narrowing her eyes.

Kakashi looked away from her looking ahead. "Maybe because I think a girl as beautiful as you shouldn't be ignored. Anyone who can't see what's right in front of them is obviously blind…I think he is a fool not to notice you" He admitted in a low tone as he continued walking.

Hinata stood still not knowing what to even knowing how to respond to what he just said to her. "H-He thinks I'm beautiful? But-But…why? I'm not a sight to look at" She thought to herself.

"Are you going to come?" Kakashi stopped turning around as he glanced at her noticing the blush that was on her face causing him to smirk behind his mask. The female Hyuga nodded her head quickly running to catch up with him. Once she made it next to him she wouldn't dare look at him since she was too embarrassed to even speak.

"I didn't make you feel awkward did I?" If it was anything Kakashi didn't want to do was scare her away. He wanted to be closer with her and maybe just maybe let things between them lead to something more. He glanced down at her noticing how she shook her head.

"N-No, I'm just a bit taken back by what you said. I-I don't think I'm that beautiful…if anything I'm just plain looking" She whispered softly, looking down at the ground as her eyes shows sadness.

The silver haired male stood in front of her placing his hands on her shoulders, which made the young Hyuga heiress look up at him in shock. "S-Sensei…?"

"Don't ever say that about yourself, I think…no I don't think I know that are a very beautiful female. Haven't you ever looked in a mirror? Don't you see it? I know I do and what I'm seeing right now is a very, very beautiful female" He smiled letting his hand a mind of it's own as he caressed her cheek gently.

Hinata couldn't believe what was happening; luckily no one was around to see Hayate Kakashi caressing the fifteen year old female's cheek. If anyone were to see that there would be a big talk around the whole Konoha about it. She felt her face heat up at the contact of his hand on her cheek. "K-Kakashi-sensei…?" She whispered his name softly.

"Hm…?" He said absentmindedly.

"W-What are you doing?"

At hearing these words he immediately dropped his hand placing it back into his pocket. "I'm sorry…I didn't mean to do that" He mumbled, frowning at himself for what he just did. He was starting not to be able to stop his actions around her. He noticed Hinata's deep blush on her cheeks, sighing softly to himself when he noticed he didn't make her feel odd by saying what he had said to her.

The female Hyuga looked down at the ground letting out a soft giggle causing Kakashi to arch his eyebrow up. "What's so funny?" He questioned. Hinata quickly shook her head.

"It's just that well...your acting d-different around me" She stated glancing up at him with a curious stare. The silver haired male coughed nervously, placing his left hand up towards the back of his head scratching it. He wasn't ready to tell her that he has feelings for her just yet, as much as he wanted to tell her he felt as if he should wait a little longer before he said anything.

"I am? Is it bothering you or something?" He asked.

She shook her head with a gentle smile on her face. "No, it's not bothering me Kakashi-sensei. It's rather nice..." She trailed off while blushing. He smiled at her from behind his mask While the two were standing there a familar voice shouted called out to the sensei. Kakashi turned around to see Sakura standing there with a pout on her face.

"Kakashi-sensei, you were suppose to train me today!" She shouted at the older male. Kakashi eyes narrowed in thought for a moment before letting out a nervous chuckle.

"You see, I was helping this old lady and-"

"GAH! Stop using excuses" She yelled out in frustration. Sakura looked over noticing Hinata standing next her sensei, she arched her eyebrow as her green eyes met with white ones. "Hinata? What are you doing with Kakashi-sensei?" She had heard about Kakashi training Hinata but had known lately he hasn't been training her due missions of his own that he had do.

"A-Ano we were just..." She didn't know how to explain to Sakura that her and Kakashi went out on a date. Wait! Not a date...just having lunch together. Not a date! She shook her head trying to get rid of the thoughts she was currently having of Kakashi and continued responding to Sakura. "We were just having lunch, that's all"

Sakura looked over at Kakashi and then Hinata for a few seconds as she then smiled and nodded her head. "Well today Sai and I were going to train but I haven't seen him for awhile now. Have you seen him?" She asked Hinata with a smirk. She knew that Sai had feelings for the female Hyuga, much like how Hinata felt for Naruto but just like Naruto; Hinata was very dense to Sai's feelings that he had for her.

Hinata noticed the look on the pink haired female's face but said nothing about it and just decided to answer her question since she knew it was directed towards her. "I seen him earlier but I don't know where he went" She explained. Kakashi looked at Sakura, wanting her to leave so he could have more time with Hinata.

Sakura nodded her head sighing to herself. "Well, I guess I'll meet up with him another day" She shrugged. Her green eyes glanced over at Kakashi noticing his anxious expression and just as she was getting ready to say something about it Kakashi spoke up.

"Well I better get going" He turned over to look at Hinata. "I'll catch you later and leave you ladies to talk or whatever it is you girls like to do" He turned to look over at Hinata giving her a wink causing her to blush. Sakura watched the exchange between the two and narrowed her eyes.
