An Entanglement of Odds
- - -
Pairing: Kakashi x Iruka
(Hints of Lee x Sakura, Naruto x Sasuke, Hinata x Kiba, Ino x Shikamaru, Neji x Ten-ten)
Warning: Shounen ai
Summary: They were just two people who happened to be at the same place at the same time. They were simply two strangers who fell in love with each other, although neither would ever admit it. Then one day, fate tore them apart… IruKaka
Inspired by: a really sappy soap opera my parents watch and the plot bunny (it bit me really hard this time)
Please forgive my bad usages of Japanese terms; I don't speak the language so I have almost no idea how to use them.

Prologue
- - - - -
"Iruka-san."
"Yes, Hokage-sama," the chestnut haired teacher answered, knowing fully well what must be coming.
"You need to take a break, I appreciate your hard work but I think you might be working too hard." The Hokage mumbled, rubbing the sleep out from her still puffy eyes. She yawned loudly.
Iruka Umino was stunned; not because the Hokage was sleeping again, not because she commented on how he was working too hard, but because of the word she was suggesting he needed: Vacation.
Iruka-senei, teacher at the academy for Konoha, couldn't remember the last time he took a vacation. With taking care of himself and buying ramen at Ichiraku, he simply did not have enough money left over to even think about a vacation. 'Still, it would be nice to relax, especially with the summer holidays and there being no school for another two months.'
It would be nice to forget about having to work, not that there was any more work to be done. He didn't have any other plans for the summer and another summer alone was not exactly a welcoming thought. Ever since Naruto and Sasuke confessed their long harbored feelings for each other, the blonde was almost always too busy to have a meal with his former sensei. Iruka was happy for them both of course, but it did not help to ease the loneliness in his life.
'hn, I wonder…how would it feel to be on a vacation?'

This is going to be a short fanfic, because I don't like to disappoint readers with my slow update rate. It will be as short and sweet as I can make it. I promise it will be at most 6 chapters, complete with a prologue and epilogue. I'd like to move fast with this fanfic.
(Yes, I am aware that Konoha might not be a place in modern Japan. But I wanted it to relate to the actual anime…that and I'm too lazy to search for a real town. Just pretend it's a small town somewhere near a forest and away from any major cities)
