Here is my new story enjoy.

Chapter 1 Lonely

What am I doing here? Iruka Umino looked at his class who all stared back nervously. They knew they were in trouble. Iruka usually graded homework almost towards the end of the first half of school, which is around lunch time. When Iruka gets around to the fifth to six homework he makes his judgment which it comes out as okay, acceptable, or the glare they're receiving now.

"Is this the best you could do?" The class flinched at the venom in his voice. "I was kind enough to give a whole week to do this assignment and this is what you give me. Jeez half of these are so bad that they make Uzumaki look good." At that a sun kiss blonde with impossible blue eyes sat up to protest about that, when a pale, black hair, opal eyes kid stop him from uttering a word.

"Needless to say," Iruka rubbed his temples and sigh. "I'm disappointed. You're dismissed for the rest of the day."

Iruka was in the lounging room with his face in the sofa. He seems to be doing that a lot lately.

"You let your rug rats out early again." It was Kotetsu and Izumo who came into the lounge. Iruka can only guess what they came here for.

"Yeah, just got tired," Iruka said looking up again.

Izumo was like Iruka in an odd way. "Are you okay?"

Iruka sat up since his good manners always make him.

"I'm fine except I don't know I'm tired of everything." Kotetsu and Izumo exchange looks. "It's the same."

"What the same?"

"This."

Now they were getting scared. Iruka usually just spit out what he wants to say. So something was really bothering the brunet.

"I wake up in the morning, make up my bed, and head to the showers. I fix breakfast and check on my elderly next door neighbor. I come back fix myself breakfast, then lunch. Then I leave home. I get to school check in and read over my lesson plan, even though I know it by heart. Then school start I'm yelling at Naruto and Sasuke, well Naruto for being so loud and Sasuke for provoking Naruto." Iruka got a headache for just thinking about it. "Then school ends by me giving homework to them. They whine and moaned, but that's all I get. Naruto bugs every now and then to go out with Sasuke and him, but I don't. I know those two have a thing for each other. I go home not before I stop at Ichirakus and pick me up something to eat. Then I go home eat dinner and grade work. Stay up till like 1 and go to bed and its back to square one."

Izumo and Kotetsu thought, 'Square one? I wasn't aware of square two.'

Izumo sat next to Iruka and said it as bluntly as ever. "Iruka I think you know what's wrong with yourself, but you're not admitting it to yourself. You have no life."

At first Iruka gave him an indignant look, but sat down. Who was he kidding? A dog could figure out he has no life. It's the same and it's embarrassing. He's twenty one and he still hasn't done it. Pathetic isn't it?

"Iruka, I'm sorry," Izumo well he looked bad. "I shouldn't have said that.

"You shouldn't have, but it doesn't mean it wasn't true." Iruka thought about something then it clicked. "I think I need a vacation."

Birds flew around Kotetsu and Izumo heads. Surely they hadn't heard right. Iruka and vacation didn't sound right. Iruka worked four years straight and never took a day off work even when he was sick with a cold.

"A vacation, are you sure about that?" Izumo ask like Iruka was about to dive from a cliff.

"Of course I am. Ms. Tsunade, just like the old man, been bugging me about taking a vacation." As much time as they had the conversation between them. Ms. Tsunade looked like she wanted to fire his ass, for defying her. She became the new principle after Saratobi had died. It took a lot to get her, but she came. She recently retired as the doctor of Konoha for some strange reason and she was perfect to be principle. Iruka was a little suspicious about the whole thing, but brushed it off. "I think it'll do me some good to you know go out or maybe I'll just rest at home."

Kotetsu said, "Wrong. Now that you're going to take a vacation, you're hanging with my group."

Iruka inwardly winced. His group included Loose Anko, Scary as Hell Ibiki, Freaky Kurenai, Smoky Asuma, and Green Glittery Loud Youthful, Gai. Iruka inwardly ask did he have too, but didn't ask because he thought it would be too mean.

"Great," he said trying to put as much enthusiasm in it.

After overhearing Iruka conversation with his friends. An energetic blonde boy ran to his dark hair friend.

They walked to school that day.

"I overheard Iruka conversation with his friends and I'm worried." The blonde hair worried about his teacher like that because he's a, no is a father to the blonde.

"What you're worried about?" The dark hair boy said.

"Iruka lonely, just like I was, but even more."

"You shouldn't worry about that much," the black hair boy said.

"Sasuke," the blonde had whined.

"Naruto," Sasuke clutched his blonde lover and said, "It's his life and he needs to worry about it himself. Plus you finally found happiness and Iruka wouldn't want you to be sad for him, wouldn't he?"

The blonde pouted his perfectly pink lips and said, "Find, but I'm going to help from the side line. But we have somebody that needs a push too." Sasuke lifted his perfect eyebrows before smirking.

Iruka looked himself in the mirror and inspected himself. He was medium height, with a curvy figure that belongs to a woman. He was slightly average looking. He could be beautiful if he put effort into it. He had unnaturally long brown hair, and milky brown eyes. He also has a scar on his face that makes him a little bit more unique.

Iruka inspected his clothes. Iruka frowned it wasn't that he was disappointed with what he was wearing it just that, he's pretty much wearing girl clothes. Half his wardrobe came from the women department and no matter how many times he goes into the men's department. He has to go into the junior's boys or the juniors girls. It was humiliating at first, but people begin to help him more and find clothes that fit him and his gender. Although some people actually get bold enough to ask him if he wanted to try some more feminine attire.

He was currently wearing skinny jeans, with buckles and a tight fighting shirt. He was wearing a black tennis shoes and wrist bands. Iruka can easily pull of for being a girl if he put his high pony tail down. And that what he did.

Iruka was about to leave when he heard a thunk. He looked and saw his gun. Iruka remember how many times he had to use it when he was a kid. All those strange people were after him and he didn't know why. He blooded his hands so many times and nobody gave him any answers.

Iruka doubt that he would need it, but he goes to many days without it that he felt safer with it at nights. Iruka took it and d slid it at the back of his pants and left.

Well here you go my modern story like I promised. I hope you like it because I found it amusing.
