A/N - I would like to start off by welcoming you to my new yaoi fan fiction! Woo for... Yaoi haha. This is my first Kakashi Iruka (or the other way round) fan fiction, but considering I j'adore the pairing, looks like your stuck with this! Although there is only one chapter at the moment, I promise to upload as many as I can every day! (however, you'll have to excuse my absences). Well, enjoy my pretty's!

Disclaimer - I do not own any form of Naruto or the pairing Kakashi x Iruka (however, the person who did invent it is a bloody genius!)

This is A/N

This is rather exaggerated words and dreams/thoughts etc

This is normal story.

Be warned, I'm English, we like to swear and drink tea (there will be a lot of references to coffee in this fan fiction) -_-

Dolphin -

Geography. Who wants to learn it, who wants to teach it. Me, obviously. Maybe it's because my mediocre behaviour when I was at school brought me here. To teach a mediocre subject at a mediocre school with mediocre teachers I will not call my friends. Who wants to call a perverted old man, a feisty male p.e teacher in a stupidly bright jumpsuit, a rather gormless looking care taker and all the rest of them their friends? Me. Because at least they would be somebody.

...

I stood in front of the 15 (including absences) strong class. Each looked at me, shocked, as though they expected more then copying out of a textbook and answering questions. I shrugged, telling them again to 'get a move on'. I, Iruka Umino, with my long brown hair tied into a shaggy ponytail and my unusual scar and my olive brown skin and my hazel brown eyes had not woken in a very good mood.

The hangover had been caused by excessive alcohol last night and lack of painkillers this morning. The stomach ache caused by dodgy party food that other drunks had cooked, and the creased shirt, trousers and tie were down to my pure laziness. I noted each imperfection on my fingers, realising I'd have to start counting my toes soon as well. Dammit. There was no way. No way I was going to be able to impress Anko today. It was true that there was no actual chemistry there, Anko was just somebody I liked to impress because she was the only decent looking woman in this building. Well, apart from Kurenai, our rather sensual chemistry teacher. Unfortunately, she was taken, and a lot older. Other than her, the only other good looking people who made the effort when they walked into school were the students. And, well, no argument, that was paedophilia.

"Sensei, aren't-"

I sent a glare that would have shot daggers (if that had been humanly possible) at Hinata, cutting her sentence off.

The girl shrunk in her seat, more scared then embarrassed.

"This is all we're doing for the next 45 minutes. That's right, your teacher woke up late, didn't shower, drank too much last night and now has a hangover. Get over it. This is life people, it doesn't always go to plan".

Most of the girls in the class turned their nose up at the fact I hadn't showered. And what? I bet they didn't shower every bloody day without fail, so why should I?

"Stop being so grouchy-"

"-Shut the hell up!" It wasn't like me to be savage, or impatient with the drop out's of any class I taught. But today, Naruto Uzumaki and his bright blonde hair were just hurting my eyes and making my migraine worse. So he could shut up and close that blind right next to him. Stupid, stupid-

"That's enough sir".

I stood to slouchy attention as Tsunade, our drunken, gambling deputy head strolled on past. She was the one person I could solely blame for my drinking last night. Not once had I seen the bottom of my glass empty. Stupid woman.

"-Don't curse me in your mind either".

She seemed right as rain, and as sharp as ever, so I just turned to the whiteboard and drew a curl on my 'M'. "Goodbye miss", I dismissed.

...

Lunchtime meetings were held every Monday without fail, and if you didn't attend, there would be punishment. Nobody wanted that extra marking.

I listened, drowsy, as Jiraiya - our head teacher - spoke on and on about the state of the playground. So there were crisp packets flying all over the place. Who cared? It killed off a few of the gulls anyway.

"Ahh". The man stopped, setting down his coffee and turning to the door. "Welcome".

The other man's steel grey eyes rested on me and the dustbin bag I wore which supposedly resembled the school's dress-code.

I just bit my tongue and pulled a sour face, picking up my coffee and taking a sip, realising that I should have put milk and sugar in before testing it for sweetness. Instead of waking myself up with bitter shit, I set the coffee down and dug around in my bag for a chocolate bar. Have a break - have a Kit Kat. Just what I needed. Preferably a holiday.

"You do realise your meant to call in ill if your hung over".

I glared upwards from my sugary goodness, about to tell the masked man to 'eff off' before I rested my eyes on his quirked eyebrow and squinting eyes. That man was mocking me. That deserved a punch, not friggin' verbal abuse!

Noticing my tension, Anko grabbed my arm. "Your not hung over, are you Dolphin!" She patronised in a voice suitable for a five year old.

I shrugged her off, ignoring the reference to my name. Dolphin, pfft. I felt like more of a shark today.

"I'll be calling my rounds". With that, the man with extraordinarily beautiful hair left.

"That, was our new chemistry teacher", Jiraiya scolded. "Not the best first impression, eh Iruka?"

Once again, ignoring the man, I shot up in my seat. "Where's Kurenai going?" It had only just come to my attention that there was no short pencil skirt in sight.

"Maternity leave". Asuma lifted a single finger to plead guilty for his crime. Sleazy bastard, why did he have too-

"-Mr. Hatake will be visiting the geography department this afternoon".

Since when did geography tie into science... I groaned in my head, throwing the remainder of my Kit Kat into the bin.

A/N - Well, hope you enjoyed! Although there's not much going on in this chapter apart from Iruka's very girlish moaning habits -_- Reviews are greatly appreciated and spur me on towards writing new chapters! Thanking you! Chao for now! =)
