Today was shopping day. The silver haired jounin didn't particularly enjoy shopping, but it was something that had to be done. He tried to stock up as much as possible in one shopping trip, but he always ended up at market a week later anyways. Apparently, today was a busy day for the marketplace, mothers with crying children bustling around and bargaining with shop keepers. It must be Saturday. Kakashi thought. Sometimes he lost track of the days of the week; he called it 'being lost on the road of life.' With empty tote bags in hand, he marched in and began his shopping.
Halfway through his shopping trip, he saw a familiar figure. Was that Shizune? Judging by the way she carried herself, she was trying to be inconspicuous. Perhaps she came to the market today because of the high volume of people. He took a closer look to see what she was looking at and---no. She couldn't be. Could she? Was she really looking at that? Had she already bought that? Oh. This was rich. Kakashi never missed an opportunity to tease, but right now he was still in disbelief.
"Shizune-san. What is that?" He approached her with no tact, and smirk visible through the fabric of his mask.

Saturday was an unusual day for Shizune to go shopping; large crowds such as this made her feel claustrophobic and heavy. Despite of these negative feelings, she knew this was the only day she could get away with buying it and slipping out unnoticed by any fellow shinobi. Her crossed arms rose higher into her chest as she ducked her head further down to avoid detection. Bodies pushed against her back like buffeting waves, her composure slipping as her hand reached to grab it.
Her eyes darted from side to side, snatching the book and shoving it beneath the pile of zucchini in the basket. "Make Him Fall For You In A Fortnight" is renowned for getting desperate women with their dream men, hopefully it'll work for me too! Checking her surroundings once more for any judging looks, Shizune breathed a sigh of relief and turned toward home. A horribly familiar voice pierced her ears, a strange combination of a gulp and a scream ran up her throat.
"K-Kakashi! What a surprise to see you here! Uhm, this? Ohoh no," she fanned at the smirking jounin, "This? We-ell, this is just a basket of zucchinis."

The silver haired jounin had a sly expression plastered on his face. Shizune had been caught red-handed; he could tell by the panicked expression on her face and the tone of her voice. "Oh? Zucchini?" He questioned, a hand on his hip. He looked down into her basket. There was an abundance of the vegetable. "That's a lot of zucchini. Making a casserole? Or are they for....something else?" He was implying something extremely inappropriate with this statement, and his eyes conveyed that as they slid back up to study Shizune's face.
He didn't give her a chance to speak, barreling on through. "Would you mind if I borrowed a few? I forgot to get some earlier, and I need them for dinner tonight." Kakashi didn't wait for permission as his hand intrusively reached into her basket. After removing a few, he found his target; the book. "Oh? What's this?" He glanced devilishly at Shizune before throwing the zucchini back in her basket, taking the book instead. He held it up to read it aloud, "Make Him Fall For You in a Fortnight. Hm." He hummed, and looked over at the nervous Shizune, merely waiting for her to explain while he smirked.

"I...Oh, we-...wha? N-no! Tha-," only incoherent stammering came out of Shizune, Kakashi too busy raiding her basket for one complete thought to be said. Her heart dropped to her feet as he picked up the book, his hidden grin rivaling that of a hungry wolf's after cornering his prey. No amount of shushing could cover up his announcement of the title. Each enunciated word ricocheted in her ears, regretting the long-named purchase.
She beckoned him to come closer, not wanting any wandering eyes to spot his triumphant find. "I-It's, uhm...for a close friend of mine!" She giggled a bit too enthusiastically, "Ahah, yes! Well, you know, not all ladies have skills with males and she just so happened to be one of them!" It was already too late to escape this poorly-constructed lie, her grin faltering as he watched her dig herself deeper into her grave of shame. "Now it was a pleasure seeing you Kakashi, but I promised her I'd get it to her by tonight so-" She made a grab for the book still in the taller's grip; a fine sheen of perspiration wetting her reddened face. What had she done wrong to deserve such gut-wrenching embarrassment?

Kakashi came closer when beckoned, and listened to Shizune's anxious voice whisper a very bad lie into his ear. "Oh, a friend?" He realized that maybe his joke had been too cruel. Shizune had never done anything worth teasing, it was just in Kakashi's nature to joke; a defense mechanism of his. Also, he was just a jerk sometimes. He needed to rectify his wrongs, and help Shizune out. The poor thing was about to pass out from the embarrassment; he could see the sweat on her forehead.
He let Shizune grab onto the book, but he kept a firm grip. "Wait." He stated, his sly grin turning into a genuine smile. "Perhaps your friend would like something other than an advice book?" He began his sales pitch. "Help books are only so helpful for real life situations. Maybe I could help your...'friend' by taking her on a practice date?" And there was the hook. Now just to reel her in. He was playing along with her white lie, and he despite being a jerk at times, he genuinely wanted to help Shizune. There was some lucky guy out there that deserved a nice kunoichi like Shizune.

Relief washed over Shizune as her fingers curled around the self-help book. She sighed, gently tugging at the book but to no avail. What little elation she gained dissipated almost immediately, her gaze falling on Kakashi's in honest confusion. It was strange--his demeanor appeared more kind than mischievous now. Her frown deepened. Shizune could read people well, but she failed to have the slightest idea what was up Kakashi's sleeve.
She listened to his proposition carefully, cringing at the word 'friend' as it was all too obvious between them who was actually in need of the book. The idea was a good one, though surprising coming from Kakashi. The last thing she wanted was for a comrade to feel sympathy towards her. Hell, she didn't even need a man in her life... But there's nothing wrong with learning a few tips and tricks in case a time called for some feminine charm. A more genuine giggle came out of the medical-nin, "I'm sure she'd appreciate the help greatly." She let go of the book without hesitation, a newfound warmth grew toward Kakashi. She smiled. "Thank you, really."

Hook, line, and sinker. He was glad that Shizune had taken his help. "It's no trouble at all. I love helping young ladies out." He replied, giving her a charming smile. Now, to set the time of the date. "Could your friend meet me tonight? I was thinking about Yakiniku Q, around 8 'o' clock." He let go of the book, allowing Shizune to take it from his grip. Kakashi was actually excited to help Shizune out; this could be fun for him. Not only could he help Shizune out, it was an opportunity for him to turn on his charm and watch her squirm. Kakashi hadn't been on a real date in ages, and even if this was just a practice date he would make the best of it. Why not try and make it as realistic as possible?
To soothe any of Shizune's fears, he added, "I'm very discreet, if your friend would like to go elsewhere, maybe somewhere more private I wouldn't mind." He was growing giddy as he mulled over the practice date, thinking of the many possible outcomes this opportunity could have. "And, I don't mind keeping it between me and her." He winked.

"8 at Yakiniku, got it!" It had been forever since Shizune went out with anybody and she couldn't help but feel excited. The entire deal reminded her of her youth on the road with Tsunade, meeting handsome strangers and spending nights with them with a good meal and hundreds of travel stories. Of course this date would be different, innocent, merely one friend teaching another friend how to not completely flop on a real date. The real date, if she could manage asking the guy after all of this was over.
"Well, I better go get ready then." She paused, realizing her faux pas though not minding it very much as the two of them were surely on the same page from the start. Her heart fluttered at that too-cool wink of his, returning the favor with a wave and something more passable as an eye twitch than a wink back. She headed back to her apartment, more than ready for this practice date.
