It's fun to play in the world that Masashi Kishimoto has created and he gets the credit. I do not own any characters but the OCs. Thanks for taking a peak at what I have been working on.
Pre-Shipuuden, not following any timeline. I recently re-watched the first episode of Naruto, when I got the idea. Iruka x Oc one shot.
Briefly Home
"Iruka."
I briefly glanced around the classroom. It was empty and the kids had left for the day. I shifted slightly in my seat. I felt her arms wrap around my neck from behind. I smiled slightly when she rested her chin on my shoulder and left a kiss on my neck.
"Alivia." I whispered.
I glanced down at her hands that were dangling in front of my chest. I intertwined my fingers with hers and gently turned over her left hand. I saw the love kanji with my name under it. It was a habit of mine. I always checked when she came back from her missions.
"I promise it's still there and my heart hasn't faltered from you."
It was the same response she always gave me. I could hear the seriousness in her voice. She got the tattoo shortly after we were married. I lifted her wrist and kissed the tattoo.
"So, is Iruka sensei done for the day yet or am I going to be all alone again?" she teased.
"I have to finish these papers." I stated as I let go of her fingers.
I heard her move and she slid into my lap. I saw the mischievous smile in her hazel eyes. I raised an eyebrow as I reached for her hair tie, only to have my hand slapped away.
"You should remember the rules. You can't have my hair tie unless I can have yours." She warned waving a finger in front of me.
"Of course."
I leaned forward and kissed her fingertip. I wrapped my arms around her waist and pulled her into me. She rested her head against my shoulder and traced circles on my chest. It felt good to have her in my arms again. We stayed like that for a bit before she slowly got up. Alivia gently put a hand on either side of my face and left light kisses along my scar. I watched as she walked to the door. She turned and gave me a smile.
"Aishiteru."
Alivia slid the door open.
"Aishiteru."
The door slid shut behind her. I glanced back at the small stack of papers that remained on my desk. I hurried through the papers. I wanted to get home and spend time with Alivia. Her latest mission had kept her away from me for about two weeks. I wasn't sure how long she would be home for before she would be gone on another mission.
As soon as the last paper was done, I darted out the door. It didn't take me long to get home. I slowly opened the door and tried not to laugh. I closed it quietly and leaned against it, admiring Alivia.
Alivia was making dinner. She had changed into a pair of dark yellow boxers and a cream colored buttoned up nightshirt. She loved to tease me by only have three buttons buttoned. The sleeves were rolled up to her elbows and part of her shoulder was showing.
I realized that she didn't hear me come in. Her headphones were hanging around her neck, blaring music as she hummed along. I barely recognized the song, but I knew an artist named BoA sang it. I was about to say something when the song ended but Love n Hate by Ayumi Hamasaki started. I gave a long sigh as I slowly walked up to her.
I rested my hands on her hips as I kissed the sides of her neck. I spun her around to face me as I leaned in and captured her lips. She wrapped her arms around my neck and returned the kiss. I swayed a little with her to the music.
"Iruka." she moaned, when we broke apart.
I kissed her again as I snuck my hands under her shirt. Her skin was soft and warm. I picked her up and carried her off to our room. I pulled her hair tie out and her red brown hair fell around her shoulders. I didn't care that she took mine. I set her down on the bed, removing her headphones and ipod, before I pinned her down.
"I'd thought you would be hungry." she squeaked out.
"Oh, I am hungry, but not for food at the moment."
Alivia gave me a funny look as I pulled at the first button.
"Ai…" I started as I undid the first button.
"…shi…" another button undone.
"…teru." The last button came undone.
I gently pulled open the shirt and started to leave kisses on her stomach.
"Iruka…"
She tried to run her fingers through my hair but stopped halfway.
"Iruka… please?"
"Hn?"
I moved closer to her face and saw the pleading look in her eyes. I smirked when she tugged at my shirt.
"Alivia, what do you want?" I teased.
"You."
She leaned up and kissed me.
Later on
I was trying to keep a straight face as she brought two bowls of ramen to the table. Alivia gave me a funny look as she handed me a bowl.
"What's so funny?"
"I'm just wondering what's for desert?"
"Pineapple upside down cake."
"With cherries, right?"
I wiggled my eyebrows at her and she tried to keep a straight face as she blushed.
"Of course, you pervert." she teased.
"So I can have your cherry then?"
"Funny Iruka. No."
"Aaww."
Next day
I felt bad for having to leave Alivia in the morning. She looked beautiful as she slept with just a sheet covering her. I hoped that she'd be home for another day. I sighed as I entered my classroom and waited for everyone to show up.
I felt some relief when lunchtime came. I shooed the kids outside to eat, since it was nice out. I entered the classroom so I could relax for a bit. I noticed there was a bag on my desk that wasn't there before.
"I hear that your wife is home."
I looked back at the door as I sat down.
"Oh, hi Kakashi. Yes, Alivia is home for a bit."
"That looks interesting." he said pointing to the bag.
I pulled a note off of the bag.
Iruka
You forgot your lunch. I'll see you when you get home.
Alivia
I untied the bag and saw three boxes, utensils and two drinks. I opened one to find a bowl of ramen. The second one had some pineapple upside down cake. I pulled out the last box and there was another note: For Naruto.
I put all of the boxes back into the bag. I glanced at Kakashi.
"I think I'll join the kids outside."
I picked up the bag and headed outside, saying goodbye to Kakashi.
When I got out there, I scanned the area for Naruto. I found him by the swing as usual. I walked over to the tree and sat down.
"Hi Naruto."
"Oh, hi Iruka sensei." he said sullenly.
"I was wondering if you would join me for lunch?" I asked holding up the bag.
Naruto got off of the swing and sat next to me as I untied the bag again.
"This one is mine, this one is desert and this one is yours."
I handed him the last box with his name on it. I watched his expression change from a faint smile when he saw the note with his name on it to a huge grin when he opened the box.
"Alivia is home, isn't she?" he asked.
"How did you know?"
"Lately when she's home, you have lunch with me."
"I guess I didn't think of that."
Naruto gave me a nod as he dug into the ramen.
Later on
I was trying to finish up my paperwork after class was over. The room was quiet as usual. I glanced up when I heard the door open and saw Naruto.
"Iruka sensei."
"What's up Naruto?"
"I was wondering if I could visit Alivia."
"Oh?"
"I wanted to thank her for lunch." he glanced at the floor.
I knew the truth was that he didn't want to be alone. I knew that Alivia wouldn't mind. She thought of him as a little brother as much as I did. I got up and walked over to Naruto.
"Come on let's go."
"Thank you!"
It didn't take us long to get to my place. I slowly opened the door and peeked in. Alivia had her back to us and was listening to music again as she made dinner. I leaned over and whispered in Naruto's ear. I saw the smug smile as he slowly walked up to Alivia.
He carefully tapped her arm. She turned around and smiled when she saw Naruto. I snickered when she took his hands and made him dance with her. I closed the door behind me as I walked over to the table. I sat down and watched them dance. When the song ended, they bowed to each other and she gave him a hug.
"Thanks for dance Naruto."
"Thanks for lunch Alivia."
"No problem. Now go and sit down for dinner."
I listened to Naruto and Alivia chatter over dinner. She was telling him of her latest mission. I smiled at Naruto's reactions as she went on about it.
"Oh, Iruka." she said.
"Hn?"
"I got another mission and I'm leaving in the morning."
"You can't leave already!" Naruto whined.
As much as I didn't want to, I had to agree with Naruto. Alivia was barely home for a day and she's being sent out again.
"Don't worry you two. I'll be back before you know it."
Naruto fell asleep on the couch and I held Alivia close to me as we slept. It took me a while to get to sleep.
Next day
Alivia was gone when I woke up. I gently shook Naruto awake and sent him home to change. I grabbed some food for us for lunch and met back up with him as we headed to class. When we got there I was met with an interesting sight on my desk. There was a pineapple, two cherries and a daffodil with a note.
Iruka
I hope that you remembered to bring lunch for you and Naruto. I'll be back before you two miss me.
Alivia
P.S it's your turn to make pineapple upside down cake.
Aishiteru
"Alivia, I can't wait for you to be back. You being home was too brief." I whispered. "I miss you already."
Aishiteru means 'I love you'.
Please review.
