Part 1: Mon Coeur S'ouvre A Ta Voix (My heart opens and has your voice)
Umino Iruka sat down heavily at the desk and gave a deep sigh of contentment; it had been a long day at the academy but he finally felt he was getting somewhere with his latest bunch of miscreants. Especially since they hadn't gotten off on the best terms, since he wasn't exactly from their village. He chuckled at the memory of their first meeting between him and the rock pre-genin. At least now he didn't fear for his appendages on a daily basis, although he still had to question what on earth Tsunade-sama had been thinking when she thought to assign this mission to him.
Actually scratch that, he knew exactly what she'd been thinking and it and a lot to do with the third.
The previous Hokage had kept a rather extensive dossier on Iruka's ninja career, due to his rather 'ahem' mischievous youth. That dossier had contained the fact that Iruka had been to a lot of political functions. Tsunade therefore saw this as an ample excuse to land him with this mission. Stating that he had both requirements needed to complete it: a) he was a fine teacher, one of the best and b) had experience in the political arena. Two things necessary in a diplomatic mission. What Tsunade didn't realise was the only reason he'd been dragged to those painfully boring functions was because the third had deemed it in his best interests to keep an eye on the boy, lest he do something to interrupt the function and cause serious offence.
The sensei smirked, his prankster youth once again coming back to bite him in the ass.
However so far this mission hadn't been at all bad, if it weren't for the fact he was teaching he would have considered it a vacation. It was proving a little more difficult than he'd anticipated incorporating the Konoha teaching programme into the Iwa one. A few of the older teachers were being slightly thick-headed but the younger ones were exceedingly eager and the results were already starting to show.
With a smile on his face and a satchel full of papers to grade he went to leave his classroom.
It was then that he noticed the other presence in the room.
Iruka whirled around as fast as he could; palming a kunai in the arc of his spin. Within a second he had turned to face the intruder armed and at the ready.
It was then he heard that chuckle and spun around once again to face the door, Iruka's mouth dropped open in total shock.
"Ka... Kakashi-sensei?"
It was indeed the infamous silver haired jounin; he stood perched in the exit completely relaxed and orange book in hand. His visible eye glanced over the reading material in a vaguely disinterested way, completely at ease and oblivious that someone was talking to him.
It was that attitude that really pissed Iruka off, that and the fact he was being ignored. Taking a deep breath he steadied his temper and tried again.
"Kakashi-sensei?" Iruka's voice was a little more clipped and growly than he would have liked but still it garnered no response from the other Nin. He just flipped over the page in his book and continued reading.
Finally losing all patience with the man Iruka strode over and plucked the infamous novel out from Kakashi's hand levelling him with a glare and then proceeded to deliver a short, sharp 'thwack' to the man's head with the offending article. After a moment of complete and suffocating silence the copy-nin looked up and gave the brunette one of his patented eye-smiles.
"Ah Iruka-sensei, fancy meeting you here."
Iruka gaped for the second time in as many minutes and then felt his eyes narrow dangerously.
"What the HELL are you doing here?!" He exploded, wondering not for the first time how this particular man managed to rile him up without even trying.
Kakashi just shrugged and reclaimed his book from the sensei's grasp "I was bored... So I got a mission here... Mainly boredom though."
"BOREDOM!!" Iruka was incredulous; the man had travelled to Iwagakure because he was BORED. Feeling a fresh wave of annoyance erupt, he glared unashamedly at Kakashi using his best teacher glare and gave the lazy ass jounin a piece of his mind.
"You came all the way here because you were BORED! What the hell is wrong with you, there are people needing your services back in Konoha and you snag an easy mission anyone could have done and come here because you're BORED! I swear to kami all you jounin are bat shit crazy!*"
Kakashi gave a deep contented sigh and flicked his book open as he listened to the younger man rant and rave about duty and responsibility. Suddenly everything felt right with the world once again, things were just far too quiet in Konoha without the high strung sensei giving out tongue lashings to those who deserved it. One could say that the silver haired Nin had almost missed these daily outbursts and had practically begged the Hokage for this particular mission so he could get his 'fix'. Of course he wasn't going to tell Iruka that, he knew the volatile man wouldn't take too kindly to the idea that he was purposefully being goaded into anger just for Kakashi's perverted amusement. He was brave, not stupid although Iruka really did look hot when in full on wrath mode....
The copy-nin was so lost in slightly wrong thoughts about the other man that he didn't even notice the book once again being snatched from his hand and the second attack on his head.
"And you will not go off into your perverted la-la land when I am yelling at you!" Iruka growled clutching the offensive orange text to his chest, his normally placid brown eyes blazing murderously.
Kakashi rubbed the sore spot on his head sheepishly "Maa... sorry Iruka-sensei. Guess I'm too used to the rest of the chunnin's just letting me get on with it. It's far too quiet without you around and the rest of them are sissies."
Iruka's expression did a one eighty at the statement and then a full three sixty back to rage.
"So you're telling me that you're bored because it's too quiet and it's too quiet because I'm not there kicking all of your sorry jounin asses into gear?!?!"
"That pretty much sums it up nicely." Kakashi smirked.
"I give up. I truly do!" Iruka threw his hands up in the air and continued to rant about crazy jounin and the need to seriously re-evaluate everyone's psyche records because clearly they were missing something.
The silver haired jounin withheld his chuckle finally remembering why he had actually sought out the sensei, other than getting his 'fix'.
"Iruka-sensei..." Kakashi's voice turned serious.
The brunette stopped ranting at once and turned to face the other man a wary look in his eye, that tone of voice never bode all that well.
"I... Well I was asked to deliver something to you."
Iruka looked intrigued "From whom?"
The eye smile was back "Now that would be telling."
The brown eyes rolled in exasperation but the joke did nothing to diminish the sensei's curiosity "Okay, deliver away."
"You have to close your eyes and hold out your hands." There was an awkwardness to Kakashi's voice that he didn't like.
"What!?... Why!?"
"Because it's a surprise.... Don't you trust me?"
Iruka seriously considered the question of course he trusted him, this was Sharingan no Kakashi after all. Famed Konoha Nin, lazy perverted ass-hat, hideously unpunctual but trustworthy to a fault and besides... he still had his kunai in his hand if anything deigned to go wrong.
"I trust you." The brown eyes fluttered shut and the brunette held out his hands.
Swallowing the lump that had somehow managed to appear in his throat Kakashi stepped forward carefully lowering his mask in the process. With unsure movements he slowly pressed his lips to the younger man in a chaste kiss whilst placing something in his outstretched hand. At the tender touch of lips Iruka's eyes unwillingly flew open, but he was confronted by nothing but smoke Kakashi had already teleported away.
Feeling shaken in ways he couldn't describe he sat back down in his chair and placed his head in his hands. It was then he noticed the item Kakashi had placed in his hand. His curious brown eyes scanned the simple card made from red paper and he flipped it open. The message was simple.
'Happy Valentine's day'
It was signed with a henohenomoheji.**
Iruka laughed glancing at the calendar 'February 16th'. If it was one thing Kakashi could be punctual about it was being unpunctual. Iruka was surprised that he wasn't more freaked out by the rather bizarre situation, but then again he was incredibly flattered by the attention. At least he had time to figure out his thoughts, he wasn't due to finish this mission for another three weeks and then there was travelling home. It meant he had roughly a month to process this new information and deal with it before confronting the other man.
He glanced down at the card in his hands a small smile twitching on his lips.
Bat shit crazy jounin.

A/N: Okay this one is going to be a long one. I'm actually writing this in January and you may be confused as to why I'm posting it not only in February but actually after Valentine 's Day. Well the answer is this I celebrate valentines on the 16th. It's a long story involving me and my partner not being able to spend our first valentines together (I was in Poland visiting Auschwitz-Romantic huh) and well the tradition kinda stuck. Plus it kinda works with the whole Kakashi always being late thing LOL!
Anywho there is a sequel planned for this (For white day) so support is always appreciated. And as usual reviewers will be showered with sweet treats of their choosing ^_^
Oh and the title is from the song by Muse called 'I belong to you.' (Mon Coeur S'ouvre A Ta Voix ). It's really lovely and will makes some sense to this fic. ^_^. If you've never heard them either download a song or two they're pretty good or play Guitar hero 3 and listen to the truly evil 'knights of Cydonia' I swear it makes me cry because I can't get past it on hard.
Okay enough ranting,
Ciao
