Fandom: Naruto

Pairing: Kakashi/Iruka

Summery: Opposites attract, right? But what if you have more in common with this 'opposite' than you originally thought?

To put it frankly, Kakashi was bored. It'd been a while since he'd be needed for a mission, and the future looked just as bleak. He was actually starting to miss his team who were quite a handful and had kept him busy, but now they had new sensei's and Kakashi was once again a lone jounin.

He'd already been to see Hokage Tsunade, and each time he'd been she'd told him the same thing. Rest, take some time to myself, well Kakashi had already tried that, and came to the conclusion that it was boring and didn't help him what so ever.

Kakashi had also tried training more often, but even that lost its trill. He'd even tried asking Gai if he'd be his training buddy but Gai was still busy with his students.

Lucky bastard.

So here Kakashi was, standing in front of Tsunade's office, hoping this time she had a mission for him.

Little did he know she indeed had something for him to do, though whether 'mission' was the word to use was other thing altogether.

"Good morning Kakashi-sensei" greeted Shizune as the jounin entered the room. "Good morning" he said back in greeting before he turned to Tsunade who was currently looking down at some paper work. Kakashi briefly wondered if she ever got any of it done, but then he remembered he wasn't much better himself.

"Before you ask Hatake" said Tsunade, looking up from her work to give him a quick glance, "I have found some work for you" she said simply, though the look in her eyes and the smirk on her face had him a little worried.

"Iruka-sensei came to me yesterday" she said, her smirk growing, "seems there are a few more students at the academy this year, and he's in need of an assistant." Kakashi's happy smile fell from his face, unbeknown to anyone in the room. Assistant to Iruka-sensei? Teaching a HUGE bunch of snot nosed little brats to throw shuriken without killing another student or the teacher themselves.

Kakashi laughed nervously, hoping maybe Tsunade was pulling his leg, but deep down he knew the look on her face meant he'd pushed her too far and now he was going to pay for it.
"You know what? I think I might just take that vacation" said Kakashi as he scratched the back of his neck, the Hokage's stare a little unnerving.

"Oh no, I've already told Iruka-sensei I have an assistant for him, your needed" she said as she gave him a 'you can't go against the Hokage' kind of look.

Kakashi had left soon after, Lady Tsunade calling the time he was needed as he walked out the door. He could see her face now, grinning and being quite happy with herself. Oh yes Kakashi was regretting his constant badgering of the woman, she was one nasty- now where did he leave his book?

Kakashi spent the rest of the day sulking, then most of the night planning on a way to get out of being Iruka-sensei's assistant.

It didn't take him long though; he'd seen enough of Iruka Umino to know the man had a wicked temper, especially when it came to the silver haired jounin. Oh yes it seemed Iruka and Kakashi had quite different views, it wouldn't take long for Kakashi to drive the chuunin up the wall.

The man would complain to Tsunade and Kakashi would once again be free.

And if everything went really well another mission would come up sometime after and he'd be back in the field doing what he does best. Which isn't looking after children.

The next day Kakashi had taken his time getting to the ninja academy. After his daily stop at the memorial stone Kakashi had made sure to drag his feet on his way to the school.

So when Kakashi arrived outside his designated classroom he wasn't surprised when Iruka-sensei looked ready to show the kids how to kill an elite ninja with your bare hands.

It was funny watching the chuunin try to calm down enough to turn to his class and introduce Kakashi. Then when Kakashi had sat down in the front row, pulled out his orange book and began to read, Kakashi started to appreciate Iruka's hold on his own anger.

The man was red, and Kakashi was sure the paint on the wall behind him had started to peel from the burning glare he was receiving.

So when Iruka asked Kakashi to kindly step outside for a moment, Kakashi couldn't help but grin behind his mask. Maybe 'helping' Iruka-sensei out wouldn't be so bad; while he tortured the poor man till he begged Tsunade to let Kakashi leave he could also have a little fun.

If Kakashi wasn't an elite ninja, and one of the best in his village he might have started hysterically laughing as the chuunin started yelling at him, as if stepping right outside the classroom would stop the children hearing his yells.

A series of "what the hell are you thinking!?" and "are you insane? You can't read THAT in front on the children!" and then Kakashi tuned out and enjoyed watching Iruka's face go from red to blue as he continued to yell. It was a few minutes before he stopped. Kakashi watched as the man appeared to be quite out of breath. "You need a drink?" Kakashi asked as Iruka coughed slightly.

He then took a step back.

Now he knew why Naruto listened to Iruka. It was because the man had one scary glare. Forget Orochimaru with his creepy jutus', Itachi with his many man killing powers and Tsunade with her awesome strength, no Iruka's glare topped them all.

Kakashi decided he'd annoyed the poor chuunin enough for one day, or at least till lunch break.

Upon re-entering the classroom Kakashi was surprised to see all the students still in their seats, though his guessed the yelling had made them realize Iruka-sensei wouldn't be in the best of moods when he came back.

Smart kids.

The rest of the class went on as it should. Though Kakashi took note that the students didn't seem much into the written stuff. He didn't blame them though, the physical stuff was good but the written was defiantly needed too.

Kakashi was pleased with himself when Iruka threw yet another glare his way, as if making sure he hadn't taken out his book again, and glaring just to make sure he wasn't going to once he turned around. Oh believe him, Kakashi HAD thought about it, but he didn't want to kill the chuunin, only drive him mental till he was able to leave this god-awful job.

At the end of the day the kids shuffled out the door and a few waved to Kakashi and Iruka as they left. Kakashi mentally noted that he'd have to tell Naruto about how much Konohamaru was like him. It was kind of scary.

Kakashi turned and grinned at the chuunin who still looked rather annoyed at him. Ok, understatement of the year, but it could have been worse.

"You have classes everyday?" Kakashi asked as he put his hand in his pocket and pulled out his book, finally. Iruka eyed the book his dislike but said nothing, which made Kakashi's grin widen. "Five days a week, Saturday and Sunday are days off." He said shortly as he turned his back to the jounin and started to wipe the notes off the board.

"And what do you do now?" Kakashi asked as he glanced up from his book to see Iruka now straitening up his desks contents. "I go home" said Iruka simply as he locked the draw to his desk and turned to Kakashi.

"Oh good" Kakashi half waved then left the classroom, happy to be finally going home. He'd get something to eat, then read some and probably fall asleep.

Upon leaving Kakashi missed the glare Iruka sent after him as he picked up the large stack of papers from his desk.

So...what'd ya think? It needs work, and I probably need a beta, or at least a more of a Narutard than me to make sure I make no slip ups. But yes, please review I'd love to know what everyone else things (whuuu my friend NON-one-shot XD
