"Tenzo, go on a date with me."

"Alright? Date and place?" Kakashi furrowed his brow. He didn't think he'd get this far.

"Wherever, whenever you want. I just want some alone time with you." Yamato blinked.

"We practically live together. And we're practically alone right now." Kakashi hugged Yamato from behind, right in front of team 7. Even if they couldn't hear their conversation, they could definitely watch.

"Let go, senpai. They're watching."

"To be honest, I stopped caring a little while ago."

"What about me? What if I care?"

"Well, Tenzo," He leaned in real close to Tenzo's ear, tickling him with his gray hair. "What are you gonna do about it?" He breathed. Tenzo was never really good at this stuff. It was the kind of thing only Kakashi could master. But Yamato tried his best, and that's what matters, right? He turned around to face Kakashi, and leaned into his ear.

"Well, Senpai, what are you going to do about it?" He breathed, pleased to see Kakashi shiver a bit.

"Tenzo, if you want, I could just show you."

"Go ahead, Senpai. Show me." Kakashi took out a small feather.

"Ya know, Tenzo, I've always wondered where your tickle spot is."

"No. No, don't you dare, no-"

"Is it here?" Kakashi tried his armpits first. Success. Then, his neck. Also, success. This whole time, Yamato was laughing like a crazy person, even tears came to his eyes. Kakashi tried some other spots, too, but they weren't so successful. It didn't matter. Kakashi Hatake was tickling Tenzo in front of Team 7, and he didn't care. He just didn't. Carefully, he stopped tickling him at just the right moment to make it look like Tenzo was laughing for no reason at all, one of his favorite parts of tickle fights (more like a one-sided tickle fight).

"Ya know, Tenzo, you should stop laughing. Your students are watching." Tenzo waited for his laughter to die down to speak.

"Stop breathing on my ear, Senpai, you know I don't like that."

"It's not that you don't like it, it's that you don't wanna admit that you love it." Tenzo grabbed Kakashi and flipped him on his back to land on the floor. "I mean," he chuckled on the ground. "I could always give my students another lesson on torture."

"Yeah, yeah. You just wanna embarrass me."

"No, Tenzo. It's really educational. In fact, we should do it again, sometime." Naruto, Sai, and Sakura appeared before the two.

"What's so funny, Yamato Taichou? We could here you laughing from where we were."

"Yeah, Tenzo. What's so funny?" Tenzo glared at Kakashi and rubbed his throat. It hurt, but he assumed it was just from laughing so much. He had a gradually noticeable headache too, but again, Kakashi seemed to be the cause for it. He got up, and Kakashi soon followed. He was tired. Not lazy, or exhausted, but tired.

"Nothing, it's nothing."

"It's already lunchtime, you guys wanna grab something to eat?" They went over to Ichiraku's.

"Kakashi, when's the last time you had dango?"

"I was 5, and I hated it. I hate sweet things."

"And fried stuff, I know. Why?"

"Too greasy for me. And it's unhealthy, anyways."

"I'm getting dango, and I want you to try it again. Just one piece." Yamato came back and handed Kakashi a light pink ball. It was squishy. Without Team 7 catching a glimpse of his mask off, he took a little bite out of it.

"It's fine, better than I thought. Too strong for me, though."

"I'm just glad you tried it. I just wanted to see if you still..."

"Still what?"

"Sti-uh-l... Sill... Suh..."

"Are you okay, Tenzo?"

"Sen...Puh...Ssss-uhh..." Tenzo started leaning forward.

"Tenzo?"

"Koh...Kuh...Keh..." Tenzo blacked out, falling forward. It wasn't a tough task for Kakashi to catch him, but what happened?

"Yamato Taichou? What happened to him, Sensei?"

"Just... I'm gonna bring him to the hospital. Do you know what's wrong with him?" Sakura shook her head as Naruto and Sai caught up with them. "Sakura, I'm gonna go." He ran as fast as he could to the hospital. Thankfully, he ran into Tsunade.

"Kakashi? What's wrong?"

"Tenzo started talking weirdly, and then he fainted."

"I see. Don't worry, I'll do my best to help him. Right now, you'll have to wait." Kakashi nodded and leaned against the wall of the hallway.

"Kakashi Sensei!"

"Hey, guys. Tsunade's with him right now. All we can do is wait."

"Do you know what's wrong with him?" Kakashi shook his head. He hated hospitals. All of the bright lights and long hallways and sick people, they all gave him a bad headache, and a scratchy throat, and he sort of lost focus. 

"Guys, I don't fuh...woah..."

"What?" Was all Sakura could manage to say before Kakashi and fallen into her arms. Tsunade rushed out of Tenzo's room, directing everyone's attention to her.

"Attention! I need you all to exit this section of the building calmly."

"Lady Tsunade!" 'Kami,' she thought, grabbing Kakashi.

"Symptoms?"

"Slurring of words, and he fainted in my arms."

"Sakura, come with me. You boys go to the nurses for directions." Sakura looked back to see the rest of her team follow a nurse down another hallway as she followed Tsunade.

"Do you know what's wrong with them?"

"I have a good idea of it. But if they're contagious, then..."

"I got it, Lady Tsunade." 'Then it might mean I've got it, too.' Tsunade found a room for Kakashi, and a neighboring one for Sakura. She left to test Tenzo. "Oi! Kakashi Sensei! Can you hear me? Wake up!"

"Huh? Sakura?"

"Kakashi Sensei! Over here!" She jumped out of her bed and went over to Kakashi's room. "Lady Tsunade's still running tests on Yamato Taichou, but she said it might be a contagious disease, so I'm here, too."

"Ah. What about Naruto and Sai? And you? Did you faint? Are you okay? What about me?"

"Enough questions, Kakashi Sensei. Naruto and Sai are helping the nurses clear this floor, because of the disease, remember? I'm fine. I didn't faint yet. You fainted in my arms, that's all."

"Oh, sorry about that. So, Tsunade-Sama's immune? If she's been helping us..."

"Seems like it. I'll be going back to my room, Sensei. I'm kind of tired."
