I do not own Naruto or any of its characters...I do have plushies of them though! Does that count?

This pairing was requested by the incredibly cool kashi's mine and my friend meowninjacat (meowninjacat is not on this site. This is an alias I have created for my friend:D)

Always watching you

Shizune sighed heavily as she looked around the messy office, the office that belongs to her friend, her teacher... and sadly her boss; Tsunade the fifth Hokage. Why she had to clean Tsunade's office was an irritating question that always bugged her beyond belief. It was one of those annoying thoughts that sit at the back of your mind and eat away at all thoughts that try to encroach it until you feel like screaming into a pillow...

Right now Shizune was at the screaming stage. I mean she worked all day too! Probably harder than Tsunade, so why did she have to clean TSUNADE'S office during her own time? Shizune sighed again; The humid heat that occupied the room did not motivate her in the least.

As she carefully stepped over books and piles of unfinished paper work, she slowly made her way to the window. With the little energy she had left after working all day in sweltering heat, she pushed open the window and closed her eyes. The cool breeze played with her dark hair and felt refreshing against her skin. Slowly she allowed her sight to drift to the ground below and what she saw was very pleasing to the eyes.

There was Kakashi, in all his handsome glory. Like always he walked the streets with an open book in hand, one of Jiraiya's most likely. Shizune watched him as he disappeared into a shop, and her eyes closed again. She always saw him, always watched him. Not in the stalker like way mind you...or at least she hoped not. Truth was she always kind of admired him.

The way he put his team before even the mission, the way his face is mysteriously hidden, the way his silver hair catches the light of either sun or moon. She was well and truly head over heels for him, although no one else knew.

You see Shizune was not someone whom would easily reveal her secret crush like Hinata. She refused to let a blush, a sigh or a stammer on words give away her secret.

She also refused to act like Sakura did when she was younger, hanging off the object of her affection and giggling like an idiot.

She was also far too shy to bluntly announce her feelings like Naruto or Lee, nor could she toy and tease like Shikamaru and Temari.

She was Shizune, Shy but completely in control of all of her emotions. No one, not even Kakashi could reveal her true feelings.

Shizune held a hand to her head, a sudden dizziness overwhelming her. "Maybe I should have had more water today. The heat must have gotten to me." She whispered as she leaned heavily on the window seal.

Kakashi looked out of the store window. She was still there, that peaceful look on her face as the cold evening wind blew back her hair. She may not realise it, in fact Kakashi doubted anyone realised it, but he always noticed her watching him. He could feel her intense eyes, a mixture of chocolate and onyx, follow his every move. She did it so inconspicuously no one would ever pick it up...except Kakashi.

The only thing that worried him was why was she watching him?

She was the right hand of the powerful fifth Hokage. She could very well be assessing his abilities and reporting to Tsunade.

Then again, she would be spending a lot of time with Sakura... Did Sakura tell her something... no! NOT THAT! She wouldn't dare tell anyone that would she? That was meant to be a squad 7 secret; just Sakura, Naruto and Sasuke are meant to know about that little habit. And he trusted her! No wonder she always watched him. Thoughts of disgust probably reeled through her wonderful mind every time she caught sight of him!

Kakashi shook his head as he gazed out the shop window again. Her eyes were still closed; she looked rather serene and peaceful. Not the look of someone disgusted in him.

Maybe, like every other woman that looked in his direction, she had a crush on him? After all it wouldn't be the first time he had a girl giggling and wanting to touch his arm. Nor the first time women couldn't form words or hide a blush.

Kakashi smiled beneath his mask, an unseen smile no one could see. He wouldn't half mind if that was the reason... but it was very unlikely. She never even showed the slightest of blushes nor even bite her lip. There were no signs of a crush that he would see on any other woman... but then again, he wouldn't mind seeing her blush. A sly smile crept beneath his mask as he looked out the window yet again; her hand was holding her forehead as she leaned on the window seal with a shaky hand. He wondered if he could make her blush?

You know, he was beginning to feel that he watched her as much as she watched him.

Shizune could feel the overwhelming dizziness take control of her mind. Her focus was nonexistent and her balance left her completely. She could feel her hand slipping, the wooden seal hit against her waist as she clumsily tumbled out the window. The rush of the summer air wasn't enough to clear her mind as fear gripped at her racing heart.

Her mind began to clear as she could make out the feeling of an arm supporting her back and an arm under her knees. Her dark eyes opened and Kakashi's smiling eyes welcomed her.

"You okay Shizune?" He asked as he looked for any tell tale signs of a woman being swept off her feet. But there were none.

"Thanks Kakashi. I think I am a little overheated." Okay her heart was pounding like a tribal drum and although she didn't mean 'overheated' in that way, she was definitely feeling it now.

Kakashi Jumped up the roof and back through the window of Tsunade's office. He looked around for a free space to sit the poor woman and finally decided on the arm chair behind the desk. As he gently lowered her into it Shizune seemed to finally wake up to her surroundings.

'N-No, If Tsunade sees me in her chair..."

"Shizune, I'm sure she would understand you're not feeling well. Now wait here and I will get you some water." With those kind words Kakashi disappeared from her sight only to return seconds later with a jug of water and an empty glass.

Shizune sipped at the water quietly as Kakashi busied himself picking up books, disappearing (Shizune only guessed he was returning them to the library) and appearing again to repeat the process.

"Kakashi?"

"Hmmm?" He answered her, although to the casual observer he did not in any other way acknowledged her, he in fact had focussed his full attention on her. Shizune placed the glass down and smiled warmly,

"Thanks...For catching me." Kakashi paused; annoyance reined his mind as he contemplated each possible reason she could have to watch him. He had to find out once and for all.

Sitting the books he held down on the floor, Kakashi suddenly appeared right beside Shizune, casually sitting on the arm of Tsunade's chair.

"Are you okay now Shizune?"

"Yes thank you." Shizune answered with a slightly suspicious look on her cute face.

Kakashi grumbled silently. Damn, no sign of a crush there.

Meanwhile Shizune felt like squealing inside, Her heart was beating like a terrified rabbit. He was so close to her...

"Maybe I should check your temperature then..." Kakashi casually suggested as he pulled his Leaf head band up and placed his forehead against her own. She didn't cringe, flinch or feel hot. Nothing! Kakashi wasn't giving up yet however.

"Kakashi, there are more effective ways to check a temperature. And I told you I am fine." Truth be told she felt like fainting on the spot, his face so close to hers she could smell his after shave. His sharigan eye was revealed because of this action and Shizune swore her heart was beginning to melt.

'Last chance.' Kakashi thought as he leaned over taking her chin in two of his fingers as he tilted her head up and proceeded kissing Shizune's lips through his mask.

Yep...it was a crush. No girl would kiss BACK like that if they were not interested, especially if a mask was in the way.

Shizune lost control of her blush as she tried to unknot her tongue,

"W-what did you do that for?" Kakashi grinned as he stood up and walked to the window.

"Just checking something. I confirmed two things today." He smirked as he disappeared out the window with a wave of his hand. As he roof jumped through the city he thought of those two conundrums he had solved with that single kiss...

Shizune LIKE liked him. And

Shizune was indeed adorable when she blushed.

He also wondered just how adorable she would have been if he didn't have the mask on... he would have to leave that question unanswered until another day...
