Of Tricks And Trouble

Prologue.

------------>>

"Hey now, you're going a bit overboard with this, no?"

"Yup"

A quiet chuckle.

"Well, you've always been a bit on the sadistic side..."

"Yup"

A soft smile on both faces.

"So.. Who's your victim?"

"Well... I thought about Naruto first..."

"No."

"Huh? Aren't you just acting like a mother hen here, Iru-chan?"

"Oh cut that out. But just think: do you really suggest to put the always-surprising one into this?"

"Well.. Guess you have a point there.."

It's quiet for a few minutes - looks like some serious thinking has to be done...

"Well that leaves just one possible choise."

"And what about the pink-haired girl?"

"Iruka. Answer this: are you crazy?"

"Chee, would you stop that, it's annoying..."

"... You forgot the whole point of this, didn't you?"

"Nee, Kakashi... What if we're making a big mistake?"

"Are you kidding me here? Did you see how they look at each other?"

"Well... Looking is one thing. What if they really hate each other?"

A moment of silence...

Followed by a very loud laugh.

"Yeah, right, and I'm straight."

"Kakashi." A glare that could be considered scary.

"Well that was a very stupid idea, Iruka. It's so obvious they're in love with each other. I'd even say they're mad about each other!"

"Literally."

"Could be, Iru-chan. Could be."

"Well, they're not the only ones then..."

"Oh now, if that was a hint, let me reward you for going crazy about oh-so-gorgeous me..."

A few more minutes of silence followeed, interrupted only by soft moans.

"Kakashi. Sto.. Ah! stop it.. We're in a middle of... discussing an important.. Oh God! Matter here..."

"What else to discuss, love? We'll just make those kids understand what they're missing..."

"I hope not on... our.. example..."

A moment of silece,

"You just gave me a marvellous idea."

"KAKASHI!"

"Just kiddin', Iru-chan, just kidding."

"Good. Now why the hell did you stop the rewarding?"

"Oh now, aren't we impatient... Maybe I should enjoy myself more and tease you a bit..."

"Aahhh..."
