Y/n's POV

Here I was again, Konoha, the Hidden Village in the Leaves. It's been about a year since I've been in my home village. I've been on a B mission for so long I wondered if much has changed.

I know that Kakashi actually passed some kids. They must be special if they got his approval. I know it took me years to gain that.

I walked into the academy and found Iruka. I smiled at him.

"Y/n! You're back!" He said happily. I gave him a hug and he hugged back. It felt good to be home.

"Hey, do you know where Kakashi is?" I asked. Everyone in the village knew about our relationship. All the old ladies at the market, all our classmates, and all of our sensei.

Iruku laughed at me. I'd only been back for twenty minutes and was practically begging for Kakashi.

"He's out with his students now but he'll probably be done by noon. I think he's in the north side of the forest" Iruku told me.

I nodded and headed out. I dropped my luggage off at my grandmother's and had some tea with her. She could tell I wanted to go find Kakashi so she basically kicked me out.

I started in the forest, carful to hide my presence. I wanted to surprise him.

I heard grunts of frustration and voices near. I slowed and decided to climb a tree so I could find his location.

I quickly spotted his white fluffy adorable hair. Okay focus. I felt myself smile and my heart skip. I missed his so much.

I moved back to the ground and went from behind. I assumed the branches would be louder than going on the short grass.

It wasn't hard to sneak around. This blond kid was crying on the ground. They were just starting on chakra.

I had made my way right behind Kakashi. He sat watching his students. I decided to just go hand to hand combat. No jutsu because he'd see right through it.

I leaped on him and put him in a head lock from behind. In which he flipped me over his head I landed on my back. He tried to pin me but I wormed out of his grip. I was still under him so I kicked my leg up and in front of his throat. My thigh strangling him. I heard him grunt. I flipped us over and put my knees on his shoulders. I leaned over him breathless.

"Sensei Kakashi!" The blond haired kid yelled. I rolled my eyes and I heard Kakashi laugh quietly from under his mask.

"SHADOW CLONE JUTSU!!" I heard the kid yell. I looked behind me. Oh great. More of this kid.

"You really passed him?" I asked jokingly. I'd never question one of Kakashi's decisions.

"Naruto stay back," Kakashi said from underneath me. I just sat on his chest smiling at him like an idiot.

Kakashi put his hands on my waist and I slid my knees off his shoulders. I just sat straddled across his torso while his students gathered around us.

He sat up with me still on top of him. "Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke, this is Y/n, one of my closest friends," he said.

I waved at all of them. Naruto... the name sounded familiar. And then Sakura looked smart but distracted by Sasuke. Sasuke looked annoyed at the disturbance of training.

I got off of Kakashi, starting to get embarrassed. This was extremely unprofessional.

"I'm really sorry to interrupt your training, please continue I just need to talk to your sensei," I said. Sakura looked back and forth between us. Once they went off Kakashi looked at me.

I could tell he was smiling at me by the way his eye squinted.

"I missed you so much," I finally said. I probably sounded desperate.

"I missed you too. I wish you could have been here for... well, everything," he said and scratched the back of his head.

"Can we meet up after this?" I asked. I didn't want to take him away from his students any more.

"Sure, you can stay and watch if you'd like," he suggested and I stayed.

His students had so much determination. Sasuke was relentless, his marks on the tree had been improving little by little but he was not happy with the results.

"Okay, that's enough for today. You need rest, tomorrow same time," Kakashi told them. Sakura was relieved to go home since she had already finished the assignment.

"You ready to go?" Kakashi asked me. He had gotten really close to me. He kind of towered over me to assert his dominance. I stared into his one exposed eye and got on my toes.

"Yes let's go somewhere," I said. I quickly kissed his nose over his mask. I could tell he was blushing.

We walked into town together. People who had known about us from the beginning would smile at us. It only made us avoid looking at each other and blushing.

"You know your students are following us right?" I asked him.

"Yes I am aware. Naruto is not the stealthiest and Sakura is not the most patient with him," he said.

"Do you think they'd react if we messed with them?" I asked.

"What are you thinking?" He asked in a curious but lazy tone.

"Um I don't know," I said while grabbing his hand and stopping. He stopped walking as well. I put my hand on the back of his neck and pulled him towards me. I used my other hand to very carefully pull his mask down enough to kiss him.

I pressed my lips against his and he kissed back roughly. I missed him so much, he was constantly on my mind for the first five months. And then I only thought about him at night for the rest of the year.

We kept kissing for a few minutes before Naruto burst out of a bush and started screaming about something about Sakura and how everyone wanted to kiss Sasuke.

I let Kakashi's mask cover his face again and Laughed at Naruto. Kakashi's hand still resting on my waist.

Once Sakura had finished yelling at Naruto for blowing their cover they walked over to us.

"Who are you? Are you Sensei Kakashi's girlfriend?" Naruto shouted at me.

I blushed and I felt Kakashi's hand slightly grip my waist harder.

"Naruto..." Kakashi started.

"You are dating! You guys are a couple!" Sakura yelled.

I couldn't help but laugh. Kakashi tried to speak but they'd just yell over him. I heard a snicker behind me and turned to see Sasuke leaning against a building. I smiled at him but he immediately stopped and frowned.

I walked over to him.

"I'm Y/n, a friend of Kakashi's. Did you know your squad was the first squad he ever passed?" I asked him.

"I did not," was all he said so I continued to talk.

"You're very different from the rest of your squad, do you think they hold you back?" I asked genuinely curious.

He was about to answer when Kakashi knocked into me, making us fall into a pile.

"Sensei! I am so sorry!" Naruto yelled. Sakura started yelling at Naruto again.

"Okay stop it!" I yelled and they obeyed. "Kakashi and I are very good friends nothing more." I said that even though it wasn't true. Even though Kakashi knew it wasn't true.

"Then what was that kiss?" Sakura questioned.

"It was to mess with you guys," I said and laughed. I saw through the corner of my eye Kakashi looking down on me because of his height.

They eventually left, for good this time and Kakashi and I stood alone again. We walked until Kakashi stopped us.

He scratched the back of his head and smiled at me. He pulled down his mask just enough to kiss me. I kissed back and put my hand on the side of his head. I leaned in and he started to kiss more rough.

After we couldn't breath we pulled away. He kept his mask down so he wouldn't have to breath through it. We both panted lightly and he gave a quick peck to my lips.

"I missed you. And I'm really glad you're back," he said kinda not knowing what to say.

"I'm glad I'm back... with you I mean," I looked at the ground.

We sat down on a grass hill watching the sunset now. I leaned my head on his shoulder and remembered when we would meet up here after practicing in our own squads. It felt like home now.

Being with him.
