Exactly. (My fic idea had its genesis in imagining how a kiss between them might actually evolve into a possibility. But since I don't write PWP, I had to create an entire story to build up to that scene and then what would logically result, lol. But I don't see the point in spending the time to do it right for maybe ten people to read it -- if I was lucky. Besides, I have my hands full with two WIPs as it is.)
I agree about Shizune's death. The fact that she and Kakashi died in the same battle and were revived by the same method seems like a very interesting basis for a potential relationship.
P.S. I know several fans who prefer Kakashi with Ayame, but that leaves me cold. I don't see how a ramen slinger could possibly understand Kakashi or the life he's led. Just my opinion.
Oh, I don't think it would be too hard, really. I mean, especially with the big emotional moment after the Pain thing. I imagine, perhaps, that Shizune recalls the trauma of being executed like that. Being terrified and at his mercy, knowing it was about to happen, and how horrifically creepy and painful it must have felt to have her soul pulled out like that. Tears, hysteria, and such. But she doesn't want the younger generation to see her like that, she wants them to be strong, so she goes off in isolation. Kakashi hears her, sees her, and it breaks her heart (like it did mine

). Maybe he's reminded of Rin, and he remembers Shizune as a child. Maybe that's what he sees, that vulnerable little girl who has just been subjected to some horrible thing nobody could have been prepared for. So, he doesn't want her to be alone like that. He holds her, lets her cry herself to sleep, and takes care of her til she wakes up. You know, sort of save her from her own misery, to weather the suffering with her.
Something like that. I don't really think there'd have to be any improvised battle or set of circumstances. In fact, the easier it fits into the timeline of the canon story, the more convincing it would sound. And pairing pieces are really all about emotion and connection, anyway. I'd say that part in the time frame would be a pretty decent window.

On the morning of Wednesday, April 11th, 2012, my Aunt Karla passed away. She was my mother's baby sister, and my coolest aunt when I was a kid. She was the best babysitter ever, and she was like an older sister to me.
Karly, I don't know if you can hear this. I am not a believer, I haven't been since Sheryl died. But if you can, I want you to know that I'm truly sorry for everything bad I've ever said about you. When you were suffering, I should have been there to help you. I should have visited. I should have encouraged you to leave the house and get a job, to be active and alive the way you used to be.
I promise that I will do everything that I can to be successful and a good person, to make you proud the way you would have wanted me to. No matter what I said, I loved you. And I will always love you. Rest in Peace, you will never be forgotten.
