Iruka walks through the crowded hallways of Konoha High School, his muscles tightened to control his change. His heart beat so fast he was having trouble keeping his breathing regular.

When he walked into his classroom he sees his co~worker Kakashi Hatake sitting on his desk. Iruka blushes lightly, his heart speeds up even more, not helping his aching lungs at all. He takes a deep breath and tries to work around the teacher.

Iruka cant seem to controll his wondering eyes for they keep going to the lazy adult beside him. Ya, he's really cute-wait? what? No! Sure his grey hair matches his cool demenor and his smoldering black eyes feel as if they peirce the soul with one glance, but that doesn't mean he's cute...right? Iruka shivers lightly and attempts to relax but fails when he feels a hand on his shoulder and breath on his ear.

"Iruka are you feeling alright? You seem out of it." Kakashi asks unknowingly that its partly his fault for his co~workers problem.

"Ya Kakashi I'm fine, just a little tired is all. I didnt get much sleep last night." Iruka says, not telling his friend why he didnt get the sleep needed.

Kakashi laughs, his goregous laugh, and says, "Oh I know those nights!"

Iruka gets wide eyed, "Really?" Is he a 'wolf too? Iruka wonders with excitement.

Kakashi chuckles and nods, "You gotta be careful with those girls dude, or they'll run you dry." If Iruka had dog ears and a tail at that moment they'd be down and tail between his legs. All he can do now is nod and walk to the other teacher desk and get ready for the students.

At his desk Iruka pulls out his book and sighs. His secret keeps him from everyone he's ever loved, even his own parents. He glances at his assosait and cant help but stare at the other man's back. He knows it would never work, Kakashi a human and him a 'wolf, but he can dream cant he? Thats what he does, all during class he day dreams about anything and everything.

Suddenly the bell rings and Iruka jumps, rudely interrupted out of his dream. Students giggle and chuckle at their teacher as they walk by. Iruka almost growled but held back the urge and just shrunk back into his seat.

He glances back Kakashi and catches the man's eyes. Iruka blushes and tried to look away but fails. Kakashi smirks and shakes his head, probably thinking he imagined it all. If only he knew...Iruka thought as the next class came in.

Iruka looked at his phone and smiled at his wallpaper. It was of his three girls. Well not really his three but he was their guardian. They were all different but were all the same like him; none of them were your average human. At home Iruka was tougher and actaully manly, but here he was a follower.

Each girl was different in everyway. Temari, a vampire, was tan and blonde but she was quite scene, wearing lots of make up and very colorful clothing. Hinata was pale with deep violet hair. She was a wall flower and the best one since she was a ghost. Sakura was the most tomboy out of the three, she played basically every sport but loved to swim. When they would all go to the lake during the summer Iruka could never get Sakura out of the water. Sakura, a mermaid, loved the water and she looked the part, coral pink hair and sea green eyes.

Iruka wasnt ready to be home but he didnt want to be here. At home it was crazy all the time. At school he felt confined and like the walls were closing in on him. Where he wanted to be was the woods behind his house, where he could shift freely.

At just the thought of shifting Iruka almost whined with want and need. He loved the feeling of his muscles and bones shifting to create the animal the lived within him. He enjoyed being able to smell, hear, and feel things better than the average wolf and human.

When he could no longer stand the feel of his clothing sticking so sickly close to his skin he stood and quickly left the room. He told the principal he didnt feel well and took the rest of the day off. He texted the girls he'd be late home and ran to the forest.
