Chapter 1 The Meeting

He laid out his uniform onto his new bed. It was his first day on his new job. He looked at it, a new light blue button up shirt with the letters 'NYPD' stitched carefully in the right-hand corner of the chest. Then on the left hand corner was a silver badge. His bark blue hat sat above his shirt and dark blue pants sat below the shirt. He got dressed and was about to leave his room to walk out his front door when a knock brought him from his intensions.

''Umino, Iruka?''

Iruka walked to his front door, unlocked it and opened it.

"Yes?"

"Hello, I'm the chief of police, Tsunade, and this behind me is Kakashi Hatake. May we come in?"

"Oh yes please do."

The two cops walked in, Tsunade sat in one arm chair and Kakashi stood next to her at attention. Iruka took his seat in the arm chair across from the two.

"Mr. Umino. Our newest rookie, you most certainly put on a show. We have the test scores and well here why don't you just see for yourself."

Tsunade gave the envelope to Kakashi and in a few quick strides he was standing before Iruka and handed him the envelope. Iruka looked at it and opened it.

"I-I don't believe it."

"We double checked top of the class for the written and 1st in the physical."

Iruka looked up at Tsunade with absolute confusion.

"These can't be my scores there were 200-300 more people, there has to be some kind of confusion. I mean I was I'm not-"

"Then why did you even show up."

Iruka looked up and when he did he was met by a single grey eye that was staring him down. He had a mask over the majority of his face leaving his eyes and top of his head uncovered. A patch covered his right eye making him seem even more intimidating.

"Now Kakashi there's no need to scare the boy."

"Sorry chief."

"Don't let him scare you 10 years on the job starts to screw with your head."

Iruka nodded, Kakashi still started at him but then looked away.

"But he does have a point, if you don't want to take the position it's not too late."

"O-Oh no I will most certainly take the position. I just didn't think that I would be chosen."

"Yes well take in the glory now we still have a job to do. I'm here to tell you that Kakashi is your new partner for the case you will be working on. So I'll leave you too alone and head back to the station. Don't worry about a thing rookie Kakashi will teach you the ropes, right Hatake?"

Kakashi gave a small nod. Tsunade got up and left Iruka's apartment. Once she closed the door, Kakashi's shoulders slumped and he slipped his hands into his pockets and let out a sigh. He looked back at Iruka and seen that he was still tense.

"Oh would you relax, she won't be coming back."

"Oh s-sorry sir."

Kakashi rolled his visible eye.

"Please don't address my by 'sir' it annoys the hell outa' me. Call me Hatake or Kakashi anything but 'sir'."

Iruka nodded and Kakashi sat down.

''Well as you know we're partners now. It works for me, but what she didn't quite emphasize is that we would be living together. So if you could, gather up your stuff for about I would say a month and we'll head over to my place all the information is there."

"Yes si-uh Kakashi."

Iruka headed back into his room when he felt a presence behind him he turned and Kakashi was standing behind him in his doorway.

"And put on civilian clothes. You're an undercover cop, no need for uniforms."

Kakashi turned and left, he went back into the living area and noticed a small table with a few candles and a picture. He looked at it then walked towards it and picked up the picture. It was a normal American family. A young boy that he recognized as Iruka but his face didn't have the scar that now creased his nose. But his hair and eyes were the same and a big smile seemed to give life to his brown eyes. A man and woman stood behind him. He assumed them to be Iruka's parents. His father stood to the left of Iruka and had his hand on Iruka's shoulder and Iruka looked to be an exact replica of him, but Iruka had his mother's chocolate eyes. A soft thump brought him from his thoughts. Iruka walked over removed the photo from Kakashi's hands and blew out the candles. He placed the photo back to where it once stood and walked away from Kakashi.

"Parents?"

"Yeah."

"Wanna call them to let them know the achievement you've made?"

"No they live out of state and I don't like to bother them."

Kakashi nodded, Iruka went and picked up his bag and turned to Kakashi.

"Ready to go?"

Iruka nodded, Kakashi walked past him and out Iruka's door. They went out to the parking lot to Kakashi's small four door car.

"Just throw your stuff in the back. Oh and sorry for the hair."

"H-hair?"

Kakashi stopped un-locking his door and looked at Iruka. Iruka had his hand out and ready to open the door. Kakashi tried to stop himself but couldn't and started to laugh un-controllably.

"W-what's so funny! What kind of hair is it?"

In between his laughter Kakashi opened his one eye and looked at him.

"You've should've seen your face!"

He started to laugh again and Iruka opened the door to the back seat and threw his bag in then slammed the door shut stopping Kakashi from his laughter.

"Fine, sorry, geez has anybody told you that you're up-tight? It's just dog hair. Are you allergic?"

"Uh no I'm not. And sorry I'm 'up-tight' it's just the way I was raised."

Once they were in the car and driving Iruka felt a little embarrassed and felt the need to start a conversation.

"So uh what kind of dogs do you have?"

"Well I have a brown pug named Pukkun, and a German Sheppard named Jak."

"I didn't know they let big dogs into apartments."

"Who said anything about me living in an apartment?"

Iruka tensed up again and thought that it was a bad idea to start a conversation then Kakashi chuckle again.

"Good God you really are up-tight. Damn I've never met anybody like you. I live in a town home, they're really close together and small but I don't have to pay rent, so I'm content."

"Oh well that makes sense."

"Yeah well back to the dogs. Pukkun isn't mean at all he loves people. But Jak on the other hand is a retired police dog put on death row. He was trained properly but he was too protective over his owners, which is always necessary, but one night a criminal went too far shot at the cop and Jak took off, the cop tried to call him off but by the time he got to him the guy was dead. I imagine they let you in on what the police dog is trained to do and the rules but in case they didn't the only main rule is to never get down to eye level with him."

"A-all right I'll remember that."

They pulled up to the front of Kakashi's house and got out, and the minute Iruka stepped out he heard vicious baking. Kakashi pulled out his keys and opened the door and Jak was in the doorway.

"Jak."

The dog continued to bark.

"Jak! Knock it off!"

Kakashi's voice thundered over the dog and the dog immediately stopped. Iruka looked at Kakashi and immediately established a fear in him. A fear that meant not to fuck with the guy in front of him. Kakashi walked in and threw his keys on the table next to the doorway and undid the belt that was under shirt which held his tazer and mace. He then knelt down and gave Jak a quick pat on the head.

He walked farther in to let Iruka into his house and to Iruka's surprise he whistled. Then out of the kitchen doorway he heard the sound of something falling down the stairs. Iruka stepped forward to go and see if anything was hurt when the tumbling stopped but before he could a little brown pug came out. His eyes were droopy like his owners and a little on the plump side next to his lean killing machine...buddy. He trotted over to his owner and put his front legs onto Kakashi's left leg and yipped. Kakashi bent over and picked up the pug.

"This is Pukkun; sorry if he startled you he never got the idea of going down the stairs slowly."

Iruka chuckled softly and reached out to pet the dog and the moment he did a low growl escaped the Sheppard's throat. He stepped forward and pushed Iruka away from Kakashi and walked behind his legs and wrapped his head around so he could look at Iruka and growled again.

"Jak, kennel up."

The dog immediately looked up at Kakashi with sorrowful eyes and whimpered.

"No don't give me any of that kennel up."

The dog whimpered again but then solemnly walked over to his kennel and went in. Kakashi walked over and closed the door but didn't latch it.

"Good boy."

Kakashi walked into the kitchen and then put Pukkun down and turned to Iruka.

"My room is up on the second floor you can put your stuff up there."

Iruka walked out of the kitchen and went up the stairs to the first room. Jak caught sight of Iruka and quietly opened his kennel door and followed Iruka up the stairs. Iruka put his stuff in the corner and out of the way he turned to walk out and when he looked out he caught the eyes of Jak.
