This came in through the ask box. "Something with Kakashi. I'll settle
for anything with him interacting with Harry."
I was honestly
tempted to just repeat Kakashi's name 500 times. I'm so used to not
being able to write anything about Kakashi, that I don't even want to
try to write something with him in it.
But I tried.

“Why
am I coming if this is a team dinner?” Harry asked in confusion.
Naruto looked
around with narrowed eyes and then leaned in to whisper. “We're
down by one man because Sai is on a mission. So, I need your help
during dinner.”
“Help?”
Harry asked with concern.
Naruto nodded, the
most serious look on his face, a look that Harry rarely ever saw.
“You know how Kakashi-sensei wears a mask?”
“It's
hard to miss,” Harry said.
“I
need you to use your,” Naruto twiddled his fingers with a pointed
look at Harry, “skills
to help our plan to see
what's under his mask.”
“What?”
Harry asked in confusion.
“We've
been trying to see what he's hiding under that mask for years. But he
always manages to hide his secret even during meals. Somehow,
something always happens just at the moment he is about to eat and we
miss seeing it.”
“You
miss seeing his face?” Harry asked, still quite confused.
“He
cheats. Other people around us get to see his face but we don't. So
he's only hiding his face from us, knowing that we want to know
what's under the mask,” Naruto said, with a manic energy. “I'm
sure he has large weird lips.”
“How
are you sure about that if you haven't seen his face?”
“Why
else would he hide his lips?”
“He hides a
majority of his face,” Harry pointed out.
Naruto ignored
that bout of logic and said, “With your help, we can finally defeat
him.”
Before Harry could
ask for clarification, they entered the ramen stand. Already seated
on one of the stools, Sakura turned to them. “Ready?”
Naruto nodded and
too a seat beside her. “We're going to see it today.”
“I heard
something about free food?” Kakashi said, appearing out of nowhere.
While the three of them recovered from his abrupt entrance, Kakashi
took the empty seat beside Harry.
Teuchi chuckled
and placed four bowls on the counter, “You're all right on time.”
Naruto and Sakura
shared a look of confusion but turned to Kakashi as he broke apart
his chopsticks.
“Forehead, is
that you?” a loud female voice called. “You told me you were too
busy to go out today!”
Sakura cursed but
didn't turn away from Kakashi, who was reaching for his mask.
“Ignoring me
isn't going to make me go away!”
“Not now, Pig,”
Sakura retorted with impatience.
Out of the corner
of his eye, Harry saw a blur of purple and a whip of long blonde hair
that ended up in between Naruto and Sakura. “Oh, Forehead, you
should have told me you were on a date with Naruto.”
“Like hell I
am,” Sakura yelled in outrage.
“What?”
Naruto's high voice replied at the same time as he turned to deal
with the blonde.
On Harry's other
side, Kakashi slurped up some noodles.
Harry turned.
Kakashi chewed
slowly, not making any move to pull his mask back up and cover his
face.
Other than a small
beauty mark under the left corner of his mouth, Kakashi didn't have
any eye-catching features, no strange lips that needed to be hidden
away like Naruto had suspected.
The only thing
that really stood out to Harry was Kakashi's fond look as he glanced
at Naruto and Sakura's desperate argument about dates.
“When you do
finally show them your face,” Harry said, lowering his voice to a
whisper as he turned back to his own bowl, “can you wear some large
fake lips?”
With an equally
low whisper that somehow reached Harry amidst all the chaos around
them, Kakashi said, “They will go nicely with the fake teeth I'll
have on too.”
Harry snorted.
The argument died
down and the rest of Team 7 turned to Kakashi only to groan in
unison.
With his face mask
on again, Kakashi pushed away an empty bowl and stood. “Enjoy the
rest of your meal, kids.” He disappeared in a swirl of leaves.
“Nii-san, did
you see anything?”
Harry shook his
head. “Not a thing.” Which wasn't really a lie, because there was
nothing unusual to see under Kakashi's mask. It was just an ordinary
face.
The blonde girl
peeked from behind Naruto and smiled, “Hi, I'm Ino and you are?”
