What happened to your hair?

by Apple Addiction


Naruto screamed. Sasuke took a step back. Iruka's eyes opened impossibly wide in terror.

"Kakashi-sensei! WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR HAIR?" Naruto's distressed yell could be heard all the way from the other side of Konoha.

Kakashi winced. This wasn't exactly the way he was planning for everyone to find out… Putting on a nonchalant face, he turned to face the three dumbfounded ninjas.

"Maa…" he scratched at his hair habitually, then brought his hand down in embarrassment when he realised that he was scratching at thin air. "The Martians ate it?"

"No kidding!" said Naruto, impressed. Sasuke smacked the back of his head, annoyed. "He's lying, idiot."

"Ouch! I… I know that, you asshole." Naruto clutched at his head and tried to salvage what's left of his dignity.

Sasuke rolled his eyes and prepared to deliver another smart retort. Kakashi looked away from his bantering students to face the chuunin teacher.

Iruka gave him a hesitant smile and held out his hand. "May I?" he asked, all the while blushing furiously.

What? Touch me? Kiss me? Snog me senseless? Sure! Ignoring his mental tirade, Kakashi nodded his consent.

Fingers trembling ever so slightly, Iruka brushed his digitals gently over Kakashi's newly cropped short spikes. By now, their two students had stopped arguing and were watching their senseis with abated breaths.

After a moment or two, Iruka withdrew his hands. He took one DEEP breath.

"AAAAAHHHHHHH! OH MY GOD IT'S REAL!"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"!"

Kakashi watched with no small amount of amusement as the three ninjas run off screaming bloody murder into the setting sun. In one fluid movement, he reached up and pulled the wig out.

A/N: Don't ask. This just hit me while I was brushing my teeth… Please review coz it'll make me very VERY happy!
