Disclaimer: I can only wish I owned Kakashi and Iruka…If I did I'd make them wear a leash and… 'Cough' never mind!
Kakashi was tired. Maybe even more than tired… he was devastatingly exhausted and parts of him severely ached, some bits more than others… He'd spent the morning, afternoon and most of the night working on his latest mission. A mission, which he wished he hadn't accepted in the first place, knowing which person it had been about. Tsunade the giant chested hokage, had smiled this morning ever so pleasantly, no one would have suspected such an innocent mission would've led to this. Flashback…"Hokage Tsunade…are you sure this mission is really suitable for me?" Kakashi asked sighing and folding his arms casually over his chest, "I mean…shouldn't I be off killing someone, killing someone or um…killing someone?"
Tsunade grinned innocently from behind her large oak desk and she ticked something on a clipboard, "Yes you are the perfect man for this mission, I will not accept no as an answer…now go and do your job great copy ninja Kakashi!"
Kakashi sighed heavily and he poofed out of the office, leaving Tsunade smug and thinking devilish little thoughts, that Kakashi, the poor guy, had no idea what he'd let himself into.
End Flashback…Kakashi dropped himself, still fully clothed, onto his soft bed. Ah…so comfortable… so nice…
He slept for about two hours.
"KAKASHI-KUN! HELP!"
The single sharingan eyed ninja sat up and frowned; he rubbed his one exposed eye wearily before dashing off to the source of this sudden sound.
"KAKASHI! OH KAKASHI! AHHHHHHH!"
Kakashi whimpered inside his mind… 'Why me!" he thought miserably as he caught sight of a clock… 3am… Damn him…
"Iruka… what the hell are you doing?" Kakashi asked exasperatedly, as he caught sight of the chuunin, clinging haphazardly by his fingertips, on the outside of his slightly open living room window.
"K-Kakashi!" Iruka squealed happily, his fingers slipping away quickly, "I-I…thought I'd try out my sneaking skills."
Kakashi slapped a hand over his own face, which had its usual mask over it, hiding his frustrated expression. He then shook his head gently, before snatching Iruka's right hand at the very last second before Iruka had a chance to fall.
"Iruka, didn't I say training was over for today?" Kakashi asked glumly, half dangling out of the window, his right hand gripping tightly around Iruka's right arm.
Iruka laughed nervously, noticing that he was only on the second floor, but still could've had a rather nasty fall.
"Um… arigatou Kakashi sensei!" He chimed as Kakashi pulled him up through the window and into his rather dark apartment.
As soon as he heard Iruka land with a gentle thud against his living room carpet, Kakashi turned and ambled sleepily back to his bed. He plonked back onto the duvet covers and left Iruka standing curiously in his doorway.
"Um…okay …goodnight Kakashi sensei…" Iruka whispered tiptoeing less than quietly over to the sofa in the living room.
Kakashi dug his head deep into his pillow, as every footstep of Iruka's make an irritable creak.
Kakashi wondered how he was going to ever make this mission successful… it just all seemed so hopeless!
Flashback…"Ah Kakashi sensei! So you've accepted the mission?" Iruka asked sheepishly, watching as the silver haired jounin entered the academy staff room.
Kakashi sat himself opposite Iruka, in a squishy leather armchair, Iruka was perched on the edge of his seat and Kakashi slumped backwards, an opposite reflection of the excited little chuunin.
"Hmm? Yeah, I'm gonna be the one." Kakashi said lightly, his lazy eye resting on Iruka's wide expectant ones.
Iruka shot out of his seat then, and he punched an arm into the air, "Whoo yeah! Tsunade finally got someone to train me!"
Kakashi sweat dropped and he grinned under his mask, "Um…yeah, so let's get started eh?"
Iruka bit his lips nervously, "Right now?"
Kakashi stood up and yawned, "Yep."
"Um… um… but I'm a little rusty…"
"Doesn't matter."
"But… I'm… um, I…"
Kakashi eyed Iruka in a rather intimidating manner then, though he hadn't meant to do so, "What's up? You scared of kunais or something?"
Iruka blushed and shook his head. Both ninjas left the academy and made their way over to the forest.
End Flashback…
So… what's this mission all about?Iruka it seemed, just wasn't tough enough to teach the Konoha classes of 2006, the new students, they were…evil… And Iruka just couldn't cope. Children were becoming more dangerously violent everyday and in his last lesson, Iruka had almost lost an eye.
Tsunade, being the great hokage she is, caring for such a dear member of the academy, decided it was time she took action and thus Kakashi was summoned forward to train him. But things are easier said than done.
A few minutes later, at around 3.12am, Iruka shuffled over to Kakashi's bedroom and he began rummaging in Kakashi's drawers.
Kakashi's eyes shot open, slightly bloodshot and seriously sore, "Iruka…what are you doing?"
Iruka leapt backwards and tripped over the furry black rug next to the bed.
Um… he didn't buy that personally, it was a present from team seven ages ago, probably Sakura's idea of a great thank you gift. After all, Kakashi had trained the team all so well (Yes Sasuke was a good boy and didn't run off to that peedo Orochimaru). Team seven all became jounins and bounced off all over the world doing some great things and Kakashi went back to his good old assassination missions… that is until today.
"Iruka…why are you still here?" Kakashi grumbled, running a hand through his gorgeously soft hair.
Iruka stood up, rubbing his ass and frowning, "Ow… that hurt."
"Iruka?" Kakashi repeated, staring as politely as he could at this thing who was suddenly a constant intrusion into his life.
"Um…oh well… remember I was practising my sneaking skills…"
"Yeah I know that bit."
"Oh…um…" Iruka shuffled his feet, kicking the rumpled rug into a less rumpled position, "well… I thought I'd try my sneaking skills again by um…"
"By what!" Kakashi grumbled sadly, "Killing my sleep?"
Iruka shook his head and looked deeply ashamed, "I just thought you know, if I could sneak in here and get something of yours without you noticing… I'd feel better…"
Kakashi let himself fall gracefully back into the warmth of his bed and he closed his eyes, "Iruka… just go home, that'll make me feel better."
"Um… but it's dark… I d-don't really like the dark. What if I get robbed? Or murdered? Or even… even raped!" Iruka twiddled his fingers nervously, as he caught sight of the perpetual darkness past the window.Kakashi rolled over and he snuggled deeper into his covers, "Hmm whatever, just don't bother me until morning…"
Iruka nodded and he wandered back over to the sofa, where he smiled and curled up to sleep. Aww… you poor dude, it's not your fault that being a teacher doesn't help your sneaking-into-Kakashi's-drawers-to-nick-his-underwear skills lol.
