Spoilers: none that I know of, anyway.
Summary: It happened one morning, Iruka finds a bouquet of flowers from a secret admirer. Then the next morning he receives yet another. Is someone hell bent on wooing everyone's favourite chuunin sensei? Or is it just some insane stalker? (pairing unsure as of yet) possible KakaIru or GaiIru or even GenIru or OroIru, who knows. (though the last one will be giving me nightmares from now on)

Disclaimer: The characters and world of Naruto was created and owned by Masashi Kishimoto. Honestly, if I owned this would I be writing fanfics?

Prologue

Iruka is very well liked. He's kind, patient, helpful and all around good guy. He is extremely good with kids (except when Naruto is in some midst of mischief, which was the only time(s) he ever really blew his top) and all the mothers with available young daughters would kill to have him as their son-in-law.

The 3rd Hokage trusts him beyond any normal Chuunin, the adults in the village respects him, the kids loved him despite the fact that they can never get away from him whenever they try to skip class or do something that they were not allowed to.

But, of course, there is a slight flaw.

Iruka is very self conscious. He just doesn't know how well liked he was. He never realizes that the Sandaime trusts him enough to consult him because of his reliability and good sense of logic and understanding, doesn't realize that Sandaime thinks highly of his skills enough to assign him A-class missions.

He merely thinks of himself as a plain, uninteresting (downright boring, he inserts to himself), poorly skilled for a so-called shinobi, and all around failure as a shinobi and as a man.

You see, he has never had a relationship before.

The poor boy gets frightened whenever he is approached by someone he is interested in or is interested in him. He stammers badly, blushing like a tomato all the while and flees so fast that you won't even have time to say 'wait'. And so the poor boy grows up to being a poor man/shinobi that suffers a bad self-esteem.

That is why someone has decided that it is about time to show the well-liked/loved Iruka-sensei (who doesn't know that he's well loved, the block head that he is) how it feels to fall in love and feel cherished (not that he is not, but someone has to knock it into that thick head of his).

So, it begins. The wooing of Umino Iruka, everyone's favourite Chuunin sensei.

Tsuzuku

I hope I get enough reviews for this to fuel me enough to continue writing this. This is the first Naruto fic that I have posted. Chapter 1 will come along soon. Please please review.

I am unsure as to who is going to be paired up with Ruka-chan, so I need votes. Please vote! THANX V

I'm not saying that Ruka-chan is stupid, he's just adorably clueless. Just the way I like him (in my fics).
