Hello everyone! This is my first ever slash-fic, so please be gentle with it. If you like it, let me know, because I've got a ton of story-ideas floating around inside my head (always popping up at the most inopportune times; does that happen to anyone else?), so I can whip up more. Thanks, and enjoy.

Disclaimer: If Naruto belonged to me, the Sasuke/Naruto battle wouldn't have ended with a lousy ALMOST kiss, let me tell you. But alas, I own it not, so we'll just have to satisfy ourselves with fan fiction.

Pairings: Kakashi X Iruka, SasuNaru

Author note: Sorry if the title is a little misleading. There is no Take One, or anything. The Take Two comes from the fact that it's Team 7's second attempt to see Kakashi's face.

Kakashi Unmasked: Take Two

Chapter 1- The PLAN

"I've got a PLAN!" Naruto shouted to his teammates, who were waiting, as always, on the bridge for Kakashi. He came running up, panting and grinning, waving a piece of paper (orange, Sakura and Sasuke noted with a groan and a wince, respectively) covered in doodles.

"A plan for what, Naruto?" Sakura asked, barely retaining Inner Sakura from bashing him over the head for interrupting her private time with Sasuke. Her beloved didn't seem to like it when she hit Naruto (when he didn't deserve it)…

Naruto's eyes narrowed and his face became oh-so-mysteriously shrouded in shadow (Konoha had strange natural occurrences like this; Gai and Lee's departures always summoned up sunsets as well, and any tragedy was accompanied by a well-timed shower of rain. Go figure.). "A PLAN to see… IT!" He began laughing maniacally, and Sakura decided that he merited some abuse, Sasuke or no Sasuke.

"Dobe." As Sasuke spoke, Sakura stopped her pounding and gazed adoringly at him, while Naruto, still clutching his head and whimpering, looked up at him. "We decided to forget about Kakashi-sensei's face. We haven't trained enough for that yet."

"But…but…the PLAN!" Naruto stuttered. Naruto's blue eyes began to widen slowly. Sasuke flinched and tried to look away with a trademarked Uchiha snort, but Naruto's eyes locked with his and he found himself frozen. The blue eyes began to glisten. "I spent a WHOLE WEEK thinking up a way for us to see it…together." In the brief moment before Sasuke was able to school his facial expression back to the trademarked Uchiha scowl, he stared on with the deer-caught-in-the-headlights look.

"Alright, dobe, let's hear it." Sasuke sighed (inwardly; he would never be caught dead sighing out loud) when Naruto's eyes shrunk back down to their normal size and moisture level.

"My PLAN is… to recruit HELP to distract Kakashi-Sensei, so that we can SEE his FACE!" Naruto beamed as he told his brilliant plan. Sasuke sweat-dropped and Sakura even broke out of her enraptured Sasuke-staring to wind up for another blow to Naruto's head. Naruto dodged, and began running.

"Seriously! We could get Iruka-sensei to help us; he knows everything!" He shouted

"Baka! Iruka-sensei would never help us! He hates pranks and rule-breaking!" Sakura shouted as she sprinted after her prey.

"That's not true. Iruka-sensei used to be the biggest prankster of his year! He told me so! SO nahh!" Naruto turned around and blew Sakura a raspberry, tripped on a loose plank on the bridge, and went flying. Sakura tried to stop, but had too much momentum going, and ended up stumbling over him. Both shinobi-in-training rolled a few times, before stopping in front of two sandaled feet.

"Yo!" If Kakashi was surprised to find two-thirds of his genin team in a dog-pile at his feet, he didn't show it. Knowing them, it was probably a regular occurrence. Sakura and Naruto managed to untangle themselves enough to sit up and point at him.

"You're late!" they shouted in unison. (Kakashi loved having his team work together and agree on something. He was such a selfless, giving sensei that if it took arriving three hours late to make his team function more smoothly, he was willing to make that sacrifice. He was surprised they hadn't nominated him for the Jounin Sensei of the Year Award, but he was also extremely modest, so he didn't mind that they hadn't.)

"Ah, I was rescuing orphans from a fire, and I had to go back and save the their orphan cat-"

"Liar!" they shouted. Ah, sweet normality.

I promise the next chapter will have Iruka in it, and it will be longer. I didn't know the intro was going to be so long (although when I upload it, I'll bet you it's going to look pretty puny. Anyways, if you like it and think I should continue, or detest it and want me to stop embarrassing myself, post a post and let me know. Any if anyone is especially appalled by my sentence structure, grammar, spelling, or tendency to go off on tangents and is willing to devote some of their spare time to fixing it, I would be eternally grateful for a beta. Thank you, my lovely first shonen-ai audience!

PS- This is also up on aarinfantasy, so if anyone frequents there and here, no, I haven't stolen this, that would be me on there. Thank you!
