Iruka scre-shouted (Ninja don't scream P) as he dropped a box of mission reports onto his foot. His face went red as he heard a soft chuckle from behind him. Iruka spun wildly ready to give whoever was laughing at him a piece of his mind and maybe a piece of his fist, he really was not in the best mood that morning.

As Iruka whirled he noticed a large amount of silver hair and immediately blushed furiously. His eyes met a single black one and he dropped his gaze as soon as he realized who he was about to shout at.

"Yo." Hatake Kakashi, legendary jounin and one of the most deadly nin in Konoha, was chuckling quietly to himself as he watched the tanned chunin become flustered and try to decide where to look. "Are you ok Iruka-sensei?"

"Yes Hatake-san, I'm fine thank you for your concern." With that the blushing chunin grabbed his box and ran as quickly as possible away from the smiling jounin behind him.

Later that day Iruka was filing reports in the mission room, while trying to ignore Genma's indecision about who was hotter Kakashi or Kotetsu or Asuma and trying to concentrate on not ramming his friend's head in a drawer and ramming it closed as many times as necessary to shut him up.

"…but Kakashi is so mysterious and he has that body ya know?" Genma looked up just in time to see that his friend was on the brink of murder. "You 'k man?"

"If you do not shut up within fifteen seconds then I am going to turn you into a woman and put you within Jiraiya-sama's reach!" Iruka was really not in the best mood after having had his run in with Kakashi.

"Hmm…Jiraiya is hot in that…" The jounin was cut of by having to dive out of the way of a pen aimed perfectly to impale his eye.

"Ok, since Jiraiya won't turn you off, I'll send you out for tea with Kurenai and then tell Asuma you made a move on her, or I may just take that senbon and aim better this time. So shut. Up!"

"But Ruka-chan!" Genma had to make another dive as a mug full of coffee flew in his direction.

"OK! I'LL TELL ANKO YOU WANT TO HAVE SEX WITH HER!" Genma looked horrified, as a strictly gay man he did not like the prospect of the insane, S&M freak that was Anko coming toward him with sex on the mind.

"I'm sorry! Please don't do that to me! And please don't tell Asuma that I made a move on Kurenai, I may be a jounin but I don't want him after my skin." Genma had once before angered Asuma when it was something to do with Kurenai and he was sure that he would have a better chance fighting of Orochimaru by himself than he would beating Asuma when it was over Kurenai.

"Fine." Muttered Iruka as he pinched his nose, feeling a headache coming on.

"But who do you like, ickle Iruka-chan?" Genma watched the chunin carefully in case any projectiles, including kunai, came his way.

"Genma that is none of your business."

"Sure it is! If one of Konoha's sexiest little chunin has his eye on someone then he should tell his friends!"

"If you do not either shut up or piss off then I may be forced to take a kunai and make you useless to Kakashi, Asuma or Kotetsu!"

"OK, OK calm it! I didn't mean to touch a raw nerve there!" Genma held his hands up submissively trying to placate the now irate chunin.

"Genma shut the hell up!" Iruka was now standing with his hands pressing angrily against his desk, anger making his face red, his hair falling out of it's normally impeccable pony-tail.

"You know you look highly fuckable when you're hair is down and you're angry?!" The end of the statement was a shout as Genma made his exit out of the window of the mission room before Iruka could threaten or murder him.

Iruka folded his arms and rested his head upon them as he sat back at his desk. His head was aching worse than ever and he was not up for trying to decipher the mission reports from jounin's whose handwriting was worse than Naruto's!

"Good afternoon Iruka-sensei! How are you feeling on this wonderful day!?" Iruka's day was going from bad to worse. He slid his hand further under his desk trying to find something to use as a weapon, feeling his hand grip around a pair of metal objects lying near his bag he pulled them up until they were hidden beneath his arm.

"Hello there Gai-sensei, if you have a mission report can you just leave it on the pile?" Iruka hoped with all his heart that the Green Beast would leave him alone and he wouldn't have to threaten him too.

"Oh Iruka-sensei I came to see you! Not for a mission report! I wanted to check that you are as youthful and jubilant as ever!"

"I'm fine Gai-sensei; can I please have some rest?" Gai looked at the chunin with mild-interest (TVM: which in Gai's case is very enthusiastic P).

"Iruka-sensei! You are in the spring-time of your youth! You should be awake and training or finding your true-love!" At that moment Iruka sprung up holding his weapons out in front of him. "Umm…Iruka-sensei are those salad spoons?"

"Yes Gai-sensei and if you do not leave immediately I may be forced to use them to pull out your eyes!" Gai was thoroughly confused at the chunin, Iruka was normally nice and friendly, even towards the Green Beast, and he never forgot his rank, until now that is. Iruka dropped his eyes and his "weapons".

"I'm sorry Gai-sensei, I should never have shouted at you, it isn't your fault that I'm annoyed." Iruka looked at the Green Beast of Konoha and recoiled as a sunset background appeared behind Gai and he started weeping manly tears.

"Iruka-sensei! I forgive you! Your strength even in times of sadness is so immense that I must admire you! Please stay youthful my friend!" With that Gai left. Iruka was thoroughly confused, and did Gai just say that he was Iruka's friend? Iruka's day could not get worse.

Just as Iruka was lying on his desk, and wishing that the ground would swallow him whole, did Kakashi decide to make his second appearance of the day.

"Yo."

"Hello Hatake-san, how can I help you?" Iruka didn't raise his head, he didn't want to look at the copy-nin, he might end up lobbing a stapler at him.

"Are you alright Iruka-sensei?" Kakashi's visible eye showed concern for the little chunin. No one should annoy my Ruka! Only I can annoy him! Mine!

Iruka raised his head, he could hear actual worry coming from the legendary jounin in front of him. "Don't worry Hatake-san, I'm fine, I just may have to murder a certain senbon-sucker."

What did he do with my Iruka!!

"Murder? That's a bit extensive for m--- you Iruka-sensei." Shit! I nearly called him mine! He wouldn't appreciate that until I get closer to him, especially when I have him under me moaning my name and asking me to…

"Hatake-san? Are you ok?" Kakashi rubbed the back of his head and gave an innocent smile.

Come on Hatake, keep a clean mind! You can deal with this… OHMYGAWD! HIS HAIR IS DOWN! WANT TO TOUCH! WANT FEEL! WANT TO NUZZLE!

"Hatake-san could you please stop staring at me?" Iruka blushed as he realised the copy-nin was staring openly at him, did he have something on his face? He needed to find another hair-tie, his hair was distracting him from the pale man in front of him.

"…"

"Kakashi-san?"

At that particular moment in time Kakashi suddenly formed the seals for his transportation jutsu.

"What did I say?" Iruka was confused as he realised that the copy-nin must have taken an extreme disliking to him.

At the same moment in time on the other side of Konoha a certain pale jounin was stifling a nose bleed. His eyes wide as he could do nothing but think of the beautiful chunin with his hair down and a blush across his cheeks.

I want him! I need that chunin. Who could help me? Jiraiya? No, he'd scare away my little Iruka. Tsunade? No, she'd perv on him. GENMA!!
