Chapter 1: Iruka's Gifts

"And that concludes our lesson today on Weapon Shadow Clones, class." Iruka concluded.

The many small genin then hustled and bustled out of their seats, shuffling their stuff into their bags, and quickly filed out of the classroom. Iruka, himself, was getting his stuff all packed up. A silver-haired jounin watched the brown-haired young man from afar, within a tree. It was Kakashi. Kakashi, today, was off duty, so he just hung around nearby, watching Iruka teaching his students. Kakashi then slipped off of his tree limb, and simply walked over to the front of the Leaf Village's Academy, and leaned against the entrance.

Iruka walked out of the academy building, and shut the door. The autumn air blew by, following it a cool breeze. Iruka smiled, but as soon as Iruka took his first step, he noticed Kakashi, and jumped a bit.

"Ack!" Iruka yelped.

"Hello, Iruka" Kakashi said.

"God... Kakashi, you really got me, there." Iruka said, catching his footing. Kakashi just simply smiled.

"Oh... my bad." He replied. Iruka just started walking again, with Kakashi following along Iruka's left side.

"So, how did today go?" Kakashi asked, looking towards Iruka. Iruka sighed, while putting both hands behind his own head, looking up towards the afternoon skies.

"Well... I had a few trouble makers, but it all came out fine in the end, though." Iruka replied. Iruka then glanced over at Kakashi.

"And how did your day go, Kakashi?" Iruka asked. Kakashi just looked up a bit.

"Ahh, nothing special. Just another day off, again." Kakashi replied, sounding a bit bored. Iruka then chuckled.

"You and your days off, Kakashi... Ahhh, I can't believe you, sometimes." Iruka said, with one of his grins on his face.

"You're such a Hokage's favorite." Iruka commented. Kakashi looked towards Iruka's way, and smiled softly.

"Ehh, I guess so." Kakashi replied.

~45 Minutes Later~

Iruka and Kakashi were both half way towards Iruka's place, when Iruka caught sight of an open Ichiraku Noodle Shop.

"Hey, Kakashi." Iruka said. Kakashi looked over towards the young brown-haired man. He knew what Iruka was going to ask, but he didn't want to ruin the moment.

"Hmmm?" Kakashi said.

"You want to get some dinner, real quick... my treat." Iruka offered, with just a smile upon his face. Kakashi simply shrugged.

"Oh sure, why not." Kakashi said, accepting the young brown-haired man's offer. Iruka started to walk towards the stand, while Kakashi followed. He couldn't really say no to Iruka, lately. It just seemed so impossible for Kakashi. Both of the men got themselves situated onto a stool, and the Noodle stand owner looked at both of them.

"Ahh, welcome you two. How may I help you two on this fine afternoon?" He asked, while he was cleaning out a noodle bowl.

"We'd like a bowl of your finest, if you may, please." Iruka insisted. The man nodded, and stepped into the back. Iruka took off his headband, seeming as though it looked like it was being such a burden on him, and simply slipped it into his messenger bag, and finally relaxed himself. Kakashi looked over, a little bit concerned, now.

"Are you alright, Iruka? You look like you've been stressed about something." Kakashi asked. Iruka looked over at the silver-haired man. Iruka sighed, and put his head into his hand, resting his elbow onto the table.

"Well... lately, I've been receiving these... these weird gifts..." Iruka replied. Kakashi knew what he was talking about.

Oh good, Iruka's been getting my gifts, after all.

"Oh? Like what" Kakashi asked, acting curious.

"Well... one day, it seemed to all start, with just this weird box of chocolates... when I bent down, and picked up the box, there was a tag that said from... an admirer." Iruka replied. Kakashi "acted" surprised, and straightened himself up.

"Really, now..." Kakashi said. Iruka nodded.

"Yeah, but that's not all... another day, I seemed to have gotten just one simple red rose, with a robbon, holding a tag, saying the same thing." Iruka said. The noodle man came up to both of them, and handed them both a bowl of soup, and chopsticks.

"Here you go, you two." The man said.

"Thank you." both of the young men said. The noodle shop owner then just retired into the back. Iruka then separated both of the chop sticks, and began to get a mouthful of noodles. As Iruka got finished with the first bowl of noodles, he continued on.

"Oh, and today, I found a large bouquet of flowers, with the exact tag on it." Iruka said, finishing himself, while getting another bundle of noodles into his mouth. Kakashi nodded.

"Hmmm... seems as though some one really wants to get your attention, Iruka." Kakashi stated. Kakashi kind of looked in separate directions, as he slowly pulled down his mask, to get started eating. Of course, Iruka wasn't really paying not much attention.

Iruka then finished his bowl, and Kakashi did so, as well. Both of the men got up, and left the noodle stand, thanking the owner. Iruka and Kakashi both continued their walk. Iruka looked up at the night skies.

"Well... hehe, it seemed we stayed there much longer than I'd hope." Iruka said. Kakashi also looked up, as well.

"Indeed." Kakashi said in agreement. Both of them finally arrived to Iruka's home. Iruka walked to the front door, got out his key, and unlocked the door. He then turned around, and looked at Kakashi. Kakashi's silver hair was reflecting some of the full moon's shine.

"Well... thanks for keeping me company again, Kakashi." Iruka said, smiling a bit. Kakashi nodded.

"Ahhh, not a problem at all, Iruka." Kakashi replied. Iruka then took a step into his home, and looked back at the silver-haired man once more.

"Well... you have a good night." Iruka said.

"you too, Iruka." Kakashi replied. Iruka then nodded, and closed his door. Kakashi then turned, and started to walk towards his place, but took it slow. He stopped at a tree about 3 feet away from his love's home, and looked towards the nearest window. Iruka was in sight. Iruka, at this time was getting his bag, and setting it someplace, and getting his vest off, as well. Iruka tossed his vest aside, and then stripped his shirt off, revealing, to Kakashi's sight, his now exposed, tan chest.

Oh, Iruka. How I do long, to be with you, someday.

Kakashi then turned, and continued on his way to his place. As he walked, he gazed upon the night skies. The skies were lite up like Las Vegas was; enourmously bright. Kakashi sighed, in a defeating, heavy sigh, that is. As he gazed upon the skies, a shooting star passes by. Kakashi stopped in his own tracks. He slightly tilted his head a bit to the left.

"Oh my... how lucky of me..." He said. Kakashi simply closed his eyes.

My wish upon this shooting star, upon this night... is for Iruka Umino... to be at my side. Please... that is all I want.

Kakashi then opened his eyes, and continued on home.

Kakashi finally arrived home. He searched his pockets, to find his key. He sighed heavily; he didn't find his key.

"Damn... I must've dropped it over in Iruka's classroom, the last time I needed to ask him something." Kakashi said, defeatively. Kakashi then walked by his front door, and sat himself down, then looked up, once more.

"Good god... looks like I'll be sleeping outside, for tonight, I guess." Kakashi stated. He then looked forward, to find Iruka walking towards him. Kakashi stood himself up, as Iruka finally got up to him. Iruka held out to Kakashi a key. Kakashi seemed surprised, and relieved at the same time.

"Hehe... I forgot to give this to you, before you left." Iruka said. Kakashi got the key from the other man's hand, and nodded.

"Well... thank you, Iruka... hehe, I don't know how else I would've gotten inside tonight, if it wasn't for you finding my key." Kakashi said. Iruka smirked.

"Well... have a good sleep, Kakashi." Iruka said, while turning around, and walking off. Kakashi waved him off.

"And a good night to you, too, Iruka." He said. Iruka put a hand up, telling Kakashi good night. Kakashi finally unlocked his door, and walked in, shutting the door behind him. Kakashi sat down onto his bed, took off his headband, his vest, and his shirt, and kind of tossed everything but his headband into a basket by his bed. He set his headband down onto his desk. He lied in his bed, with only his chest and face exposed, staring at the cealing. Kakashi sighed heavily.

"Oooh Iruka... If only you would figure it out... but you're sweet, adorable... and naive personality gets into the way otherwise." Kakashi softely said, while smiling.

"Hmm... Maybe I'll hang out with him tomorrow, after work." He said. He then got himself covered, closed his eyes, and fell in a deep sleep.

Kakashi rolled about his now very wrinkled and messy bed. Apparantely, he had been dreaming about the brown pony-tailed young man. His alarm for 7 AM rang. Kakashi quickly shot up awake. He glanced about his room very quickly, and then looked down at his alarm. He specifically set his alarm at 7 AM because he knew Iruka leaves his house around 9:30 AM. That way, he would always catch him, and walk with him to the Academy. Kakashi stretched his strong arms up, yawning. Kakashi slipped himself out of bed, and left into the kitchen. Kakashi stopped at the window of his kitchen, and looked out toward's Iruka's place. Kakashi sighed heavily, and left for the refrigerator. A knock was herd at Kakashi's door. Kakashi halted what he was doing, and left for the front door, quickly pulling on just a black t-shirt he had by the front door. Kakashi opened the door. It was his mailman.

"Morning Kakashi." The mailman greeted him, with a smile.

"Ahh... morning... uhh, hold on a minute." Kakashi said, and then he quickly dashed into his own room. Kakashi quickly scattered throughout his room, finding what he wanted the mailamn to get to Iruka's place.

"Damn... where is it..." the silver-haired ninja said, looking about his own room quickly. Kakashi then quickly looked through some of his desk drawers, finding the wrapped up box he had planned. He sighed of relief, and picked it up, and quickly got back to the front door, and handed the box over to the mailman, and also handed him 50 ryo.

"Thank you again." Kakashi said, in a relieving tone. The mailman nodded.

"Anytime, Kakashi. Same place?" The mailman asked. Kakashi nodded. The mailman also nodded in reply, and quickly ran off. Kakashi closed the door, walked back into the kitchen, and helped himself to some coffee he had gotten done. Kakashi glanced out of the window, watching. Through the window, he saw that the mailman's delivery had once again, successfully made it to Iruka's front door step.

Kakashi finally got himself suited up, put his book into his back pouch, walked over to the front door, and left to the outside, closing and locking the door behind him. Kakashi looked towards the direction Iruka always came from. Kakashi walked over towards a tree that's been in his front yard, sat down in front of it, and closed his eyes. Kakashi will just pretend his way out of this one, again... as usual. Kakashi then made himself look like he barely opened his only visible eye, to find Iruka walking towards his direction, on the path. Kakashi then yawned, and stretched his arms up. Iruka paused, and looked down upon the waking of the silver-haired ninja.

"Well... uhh, morning Kakashi... didn't sleep well, again?" Iruka asked, lending Kakashi a hand up. Kakashi reached over, and grabbed Iruka's hand, being pulled up to his feet.

"Well... you know me." Kakashi replied, tired-like (such a good ninja.). Iruka smiled a little joking, while chuckling at the same time.

"Oh, Kakashi... Tsunade got you buried in paperwork, again?" Iruka asked. Kakashi nodded.

"Oh, not so much, just an all nighter." Kakashi replied, slipping both of his hands into his pockets. Kakashi had noticed that Iruka got the gift from him, because there was a box-like shape inside of his messenger bag.

"Oh my, Iruka... that your lunch?" Kakashi asked, jokingly. Iruka had a puzzling look, and then looked down at his bag.

"Oh, yeah that... well, not really..." Iruka replied. Kakashi stopped chuckling, and then looked at Iruka.

"So... get another gift, again, Iruka?" Kakashi asked, getting himself together. Iruka nodded.

"This is just really weird, now." Iruka commented, looking up at the sky. Up into the bright robin's egg-colored sky, flew by a brown-tan colored bird. Iruka smiled.

"So... you going to actually be working today, Kakashi, or do you have one of those days off again?" Iruka asked, a little bit curious. Kakashi looked over.

I should say something smartass, but at the sametime, I don't want to... ahh, what the hell.

"Why, Iruka... do you miss having me around?" Kakashi replied, with a question, smirking under his masked face. Iruka looked over quickly, surprised, and with a freaked out facial expression.

"What? Where do you get THAT idea?" Iruka said, flushed a bit to the face. Kakashi chuckled, and then looked up.

"Calm down, Iruka... goodness... nah, I'll be out walking around for a bit." Kakashi finally answered. Iruka smirked.

~Kakashi's freetime~

Kakashi had stopped following with Iruka, because he had class to teach. Kakashi sat under a tree, near one of Iruka's classroom windows (just for eye-view), got out a book and started reading. Kakashi had to find something to do for 3 hours. Kakashi had read off a good hour and a half, when he decided to doze off a bit, and take a nap.

~Kakashi's Dream~

Kakashi awoke inside of a room unfamiliar to him. He looked around the room, hoping someone else was within the room. He stood up where he was. The silver-haired man hears a door slide open off to his left. He quickly looked over, to find the brown-haired man of his dreams, looking straight at him. Kakashi took just one small step back, a little bit confused. Iruka stepped inside of the room, closing the door behind him. Kakashi herd a clicking noise; Iruka locked both of them inside of the room. Kakashi blinked, but as soon as he did blink, the key and the door both seemed to vanish. Iruka walked towards Kakashi, unzipping his Kimono. Kakashi raised one eye brow in confusion, as he started stepping back a few more steps. Kakashi ran out of space to back up, so backed up into a wall. Kakashi quickly looked back then looked forward at Iruka. Iruka then stopped in front of Kakashi, only but a few inches away from him

"What's wrong, Kakashi... isn't this what you've wanted?" Iruka asked, slowly unzipping Kakashi's Kimono for him, as he smiled. Kakashi gulped softly, not knowing what to say. Kakashi left both of his arms hanging against his sides, just letting his Kimono slip right off of his body. Iruka slipped off his Kimono, tossed it aside, and set his body against Kakashi's, letting his hands press against Kakashi's bare chest. Kakashi's body seemed to move on its own, because as soon as Iruka did so, Kakashi's hands started moving along Iruka's sides, slipping smoothly down the side of his pants. Iruka softly moaned in pure pleasure, reached up, and got a good grip of Kakashi's mask with his teeth. One of Kakashi's hands moved up the brown-haired man's back, up to where his hand got behind the young man's head. Iruka started going back flat on his feet, pulling Kakashi's mask down with him, while growling softly. Kakashi's motioned himself towards the bed, as Iruka followed. Kakashi stopped by the bed, as Iruka did so, as well. Kakashi swiftly pushed Iruka down onto the bed, and got himself right on top of Iruka, pinning the tan, young man down. Kakashi teasingly started to lick upon the young brown-haired man's neck, getting the other to moan softly. Kakashi let his hand explore the young man's body, from sides, down below, and the rest, as Kakashi slowly moved his head, so their eyes would meet one another. Kakashi slowly pressed his lips against the other mans, while his hand explored within the insides of the tan man's pants. The other man moaned, flushing to the face. This seemed to have lasted for hours on end, and after Kakashi broke the kiss, the other one was softly saying his name.

"Ohh Kakashi… Kakashi…. Kakashi-"

~Reality~

"… Kakashi… Kakashi… KAKASHI!" Iruka screamed, looking down at the sleeping, silver-haired man. Kakashi woke up drowsily, looking about the area. Kakashi stretched his arms out, and looked up at the other man.

"Oh… hello, there, Iruka." Kakashi said, slowly getting up to his feet. Iruka sighed heavily, rubbing his forehead.

"Did you fall asleep, again?" Iruka asked, looking down at the book that Kakashi just started picked up. Kakashi slipped his book back into his pouch, then looked back at Iruka.

"Well… seems so." Kakashi replied, scratching the back of his head. Kakashi then started to walk off.

"Hey, wait a minute…" Iruka said. Kakashi stopped, and looked behind him, towards the other.

"Yes?" Kakashi said, expecting some sort of answer. Iruka was about to say something, but hesitated.

"It's nothing. Have a good day." Iruka said quickly, returning back inside to his class. Kakashi shrugged, and continued on walking.

Wonder what he was going to say… Oh well.

Kakashi withdrew himself back into his own home, too tired from training with Jiraiya. Kakashi sat down at his table, and took off his vest, and stripped off his shirt, exposing his scarred chest and back, plus his strong arms. Kakashi then looked at a small stack of unfinished papers on the table.

"Oh boy… I forgot to turn in my work… Oh well, better finish all this up, I guess." Kakashi said. Kakashi got some of the papers, grabbed a pen that was nearby, and got straight to work. As soon as Kakashi got his first page done, though, a knocking came upon his door.

"The door is open." Kakashi said, turning back towards the door. The door slid open, and walked in Iruka, carrying some scrolls and paper with him.

"Hello, Kakashi… sorry to barge in on you like this, but Lady Hokage insisted that this stuff got to you as soon as possible." Iruka said. Kakashi sighed heavily.

"Alright, then… just… set those on the table here." Kakashi pointed out. Iruka walked over near by Kakashi, and set the stuff down onto the table, then stood straight up, popping his back a little bit. Iruka looked down at Kakashi, stunned a little bit, and sighed.

"Kakashi… what happened to you, now?" Iruka asked. Kakashi looked back down at his paper work, continuing to work on it.

"Oh, nothing… just was out for a little bit of training, is all." Kakashi replied, nonchalantly. Iruka then looked around a bit.

"Well… where is your first aid supplies?" Iruka asked, as he started to kind of walk around a bit, like the first aid kit was stuck out. Kakashi looked over towards Iruka.

"It is in the kitchen, Iruka." Kakashi replied, getting back to his paper work. Iruka then nodded a bit, and then left for the kitchen. Kakashi sighed a bit heavily, while continuing on working on the papers.

Well, now… this was unexpected… What am I going to do, now?

Iruka came back with the first aid, sat down behind Kakashi, and started looking through it.

"Iruka… this really isn't necessary… I mean… I can't let you skip out on your own work, because of me." Kakashi said, looking back behind him. Iruka then pulled out a washing cloth, got up and left for the kitchen, once more. Kakashi then looked up at his clock. 8:51 PM. Iruka then came back, the wash cloth being all soaking wet, sat down behind Kakashi, and started to wipe down his back. Kakashi cringed a little bit, biting at his scratched lip to keep the pain from escaping his lips.

"Oh Kakashi… you don't need to worry about me… I'll just get my work done, while on my break tomorrow." Iruka replied, putting on antibiotics upon the back of the silver-haired man. Kakashi sighed heavily, and went back to his paper work. Kakashi seemed distracted, because he was not able to continue to fill out the rest of the papers.

"Good god, Kakashi… what kind of mission did you go out to do, anyways, I mean… you've got small scratches, like almost all over your back." Iruka said, in a soft, complaining voice. Kakashi turned his head to the side, so he could see the tanned, browned-haired man with at least one eye.

"It was just a scouting mission… hmmm, must've ran into some small thicket bush on the way back." Kakashi replied, with a facial expression, signaling that he was thinking about it. Kakashi looked back forward, and down towards his next document. The paper he started reading was blue. Kakashi started to read it through, and it said:

Dear Kakashi Hatake,

If you are reading this, you have been assigned another scouting mission.

Report back to the Hokage Main room tomorrow morning at 4:30 PM, to

Receive the rest of your information. Also, if you wish to be accompanied, you may only bring a Chunin-leveled ninja to accompany you.

From,

Tsunade

Kakashi put the blue piece of paper down, and glanced back towards a window. Iruka explored through the kit for a minute or two, and finally pulled out a roll of wrappings. Kakashi sighed heavily.

I feel like I'm the enemy towards Iruka… the one I love. How am I going to say this to him that I've been the 'secret admirer?'

Iruka started wrapping Kakashi's arm first. Kakashi quickly got the hint, and put out his scratched up arm. Iruka continued to wrap his arm up.

"So Iruka… how was your day today?" Kakashi asked, while reading the rest of his papers. Iruka looked at him, pausing with the wrapping.

"Oh… it was alright, nothing big, or anything. Just… just a normal study hall day, I guess." Iruka replied. Kakashi nodded, signaling to Iruka that he was listening. Kakashi continued to check over his papers, as the young brown-haired man continued wrapping his arm. After about several minutes, Iruka has gotten both of Kakashi's arms all wrapped up. Iruka scanned over Kakashi's back a few times before deciding to start on his chest. Iruka then moved from behind Kakashi, now in front of Kakashi, sat himself down, and started to wrap around Kakashi's muscular chest. Kakashi was shocked a bit, with Iruka in front of him now.

"Iruka, you really don't have to do this…" Kakashi said, as he finally made eye contact with the young man. Iruka gave Kakashi a small smile.

"Ahh, it isn't a problem with me, Kakashi… I mean… we do not want these infected, now do we?" Iruka replied, as he continued wrapping Kakashi up from a momentarily pause. Kakashi sighed a little bit, while looking to the far right off his side.

I need to tell him sooner or later... maybe now, is the best and only time I have, while Iruka is over…

Kakashi slowly looked back at Iruka, breathed in a bit, and breathed out, ready to speak his words.

"Iruka… I need to tell you something… something important." Kakashi said. Iruka paused the wrapping, and liked into the silver-haired man's eyes.

"What is it, Kakashi?" Iruka replied. To Kakashi, Iruka now, was all ears. Kakashi breathed in a little bit more, and put a hand behind his head.

"It… it is about the… strange gifts that you have been receiving lately…" Kakashi said, stuttering a little along the way of his sentence. Iruka straightened up a bit, now intensively listening.

"Well… do you know something about this? Do you know who it is?" Iruka asked. Iruka was really listening closely. Kakashi nodded to both of Iruka's questions.

"It… it is me… I have been sending you those gifts, Iruka…" Kakashi said. A silence rolled into the atmosphere, like tumbleweed, rolling along within the desert. Iruka sat himself down, speechless. Iruka looked down, surprised and a bit betrayed. Kakashi put one of his hands on Iruka's shoulders.

"Iruka… I'm sorry… I… I didn't know when to tell you, so… I kept it a secret." Kakashi said, trying to explain himself. Iruka then started to finish his wrapping, stood up and walked to the front door. Kakshi turned around, and watched the tan, young man going towards the front door. Iruka then turned his head back, looking at Kakashi.

"Good night… Kakashi." Iruka said, in a soft tone. Iruka walked out into the dark, rainy environment, closing the front door behind him. Kakashi sighed heavily, while looking down at the blue paper, once more.

Great work, Kakashi, now you have gone, and blown it.

Kakashi then stood himself up, stretched a bit, and then left to his bedroom.

"Oooh, what a day…" Kakashi said, as he dropped himself onto his bed. He looked up at the ceiling, wondering what Iruka is doing.

As Iruka started to slow down from a quick jog, he felt a sudden calmness, while walking through the rain. Iruka looked up towards the dark, gloomy skies of grays and blacks. While Iruka was staring off into the skies, Iruka tripped over a rock, falling by a mud puddle, but just enough to get splashed, but not too much got onto him. Iruka shook himself, quickly gathered himself up, and stood up. Iruka then continued his walk home.

"Oh boy… this is just such an odd coincidence." Iruka said. Iruka rubbed his forehead of rain water off, just lost in thought. After awhile, Iruka finally arrived home. He got his house key, unlocked the front door, and shuffled himself inside, shutting the door behind him. Iruka set his bag by the door, and pulled his shoes off.

"Uggh… I need a pair of dry clothes, before I can do anything else." Iruka stated. He started to walk into his bedroom, in search of some clothes. Iruka then set down the dry pair of clothes, and started to strip himself of his drenched clothes and headband. Iruka then started to get himself dressed, then paused quickly.

What Kakashi said… Could he be just joking… or did he… mean that?

Iruka slightly blushed a bit, shook himself, and then left back to his living room. Iruka sat himself down, and started writing on some paper he had pulled out of a folder. Iruka then picked up the towel by him, pulled the hair band out of his hair, and started to dry it off. Iruka got to the third page of his paper work, but could not seem to continue. He could not get his mind off Kakashi, for some reason or another. Iruka then put his pen down, and rubbed at his forehead.

"Maybe a good night's sleep will help." Iruka said. He stood up and left for his bedroom. Iruka closed the door, walked over to his bed, and lied himself down. Iruka glanced outside of the window, and smiled. Iruka closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.
