Behind the Mask || Kakashi x Reader

Chapter One

Your POV:

"Damn! You won again!" You yell and slam your fist down on the table. You just lost shoji for the 31st time against Shimamaru. "Well if you learn from your previous mistakes then maybe you'll play a better game" You knew Shikamaru didn't want to play against you and it didn't help that your sensei forced him to come to your training on his day off.

He lays back and closes his eyes obviously missing his afternoon nap. "We done here?" "NO!!" You scream at him and start setting up the board again "Kakashi sensei said neither of us can leave until I win." You're a very competitive and determined person when faced with a challenge. Shikamaru groans loudly in annoyance as he sits up "Fine. We'll play again." You give him a bright determinate smile ready to completely destroy him in this game. "Get ready to lose lazy ass!" You have a fire in your eyes that's impossible not to smile at. "Yah yah..." he smiles shaking his head as Shikamaru makes his first move.

After 3 long hours of hard thinking, you finally win against Shikamaru. "Yes!! I don't have to play this stupid game anymore!" You jump up and start your victory dance. Little do you know that he let you win because he wants to get in on his afternoon nap. You turn to Kakashi smiling big "Kakashi sensei! I did it! I beat Shikamaru!" He smiles and sighs mumbling "So he let her win...?" Shikamaru nods knowing what he had asked. "Alright. Guess that's it for he day." "Awwwww....." you walk to your sensei frowning. "I didn't get to spar once!"

As Kakashi dismissed everyone you raise a kuni ready to spar with him "Just one round. Please?" You smile at him and he laughs taking out a kuni as well "Alight...one round. We both have to get home and start packing for the mission tomorrow." You grip your kuni tightly "Don't hold back!"

Kick. Jump. Punch. Dodge. Counter attack. Block. Flip. Grab. Throw. Pin. "Let me go dammit! You already won Kakashi sensei!" You yell at you overpowering sensei as you struggle to get out of his firm grip. You open your eyes to really realize the position you were in. Kakashi was inches from your face and had your hands pinned above your head with your legs propped up spread wide at his sides. You blushed 50 shades of red as you found him staring at your chest. "K-K-Kakashi s-sensei...c-can you p-please let me g-go now?" You laugh nervously and he blushes slightly your words breaking his trance. "W-Well..." he clears his throat and gets off you standing up quickly "We should both get home now." You nod and starts to quickly walk away "Yep! See you tomorrow sensei!" You yell and run back to your empty apartment.

You live alone since both your parents died in your home village during a raid. That's one of the reasons you moved to the Leaf. You wanted to escape everything that happened there. But...the past catches up to you.

     You rushed into your apartment and quickly locked the door before rushing to your room. "Oh my god what just happened?! Was Kakashi sensei just staring at my...?!" You look down at your chest and blush even more if possible looking like a tomato. "Holy shit he was! Wait....does that mean he likes me?" You smile big "Yes! Finally something good happened to me! And the best thing that could happen to me none the less!" Then you remember that it's illegal to have a relationship like that with your sensei and sigh starting to pack. "Wonder if it was just him being a pervert... or is we need to keep a secret" you smile a little and after you're done packing for the mission you head to the park with your dog Hiro.

"Come on boy! Go get the ball!" You smile throwing the ball for him. "OW!" You hear a familiar voice yell and look around the tree you're standing by. You bite your lip as you see Kakashi rubbing the back of his head and glaring at you "Y/N! Is that you?! I told you to get ready for the mission and go to bed!" He yells and walks over to you with his pack who start to play with Hiro. "Yah well...you're going on the mission too!" You cross your arms glaring up at him annoyed that he called you out. "I haven't slept in 3 weeks." He puts his hands in his pockets "Think I'll be fine. You on the other hand need to get to your rest."

"I'll be fine too!" "No. No you won't." He whistles and Kakashi's pack comes running back "So I'll walk you and your dog home." He starts walking the way back to your apartment "Come on." You sigh and follow him with Hiro close behind you. "Fine. But you're staying for dinner." You smirk "You can't cook can you?" He laughs smiling "Nope not even an egg" You smile as you reach your apartment and open the door for him. "Welcome to my humble abode master chef." You bow to him as he walks in then follow him to the kitchen "What do I have to work with?" As Kakashi starts to cook dinner for both of you, you get stuck in a trance staring at him. "Y/N do you have trouble paying rent?" You nod not paying attention "Mhmm..." "Well maybe you could stay with me for a little while? Until we can either get some better missions or find you a job. Sound good?" He smiles as you nod again. "Yep...perfect" "Then we'll move you in when we get back from the mission" He hands you some sushi and a glass of milk giving you a closed eyes smile. His words and movements break your trance and you look at him completely shocked and confused "Wait what?!?" "I said I'll move you into my house when we get back from the mission. Just until you can get some financial security that is." "When did we discuss this?!" You yell but in spite of yourself love the sushi he made "When you were staring at me." You blush and look down "R-Right... after the mission..."
