Kakashi watched as Iruka moved around the room. His eyes had been following him a lot lately, and he means a lot! Iruka had first noticed when Tsunade had ordered Kakashi to take his medical leave. Because Kakashi wouldn't stay still in the hospital unit,
he was confined to desk duty with him and several others who were injured.

After the war ended and everyone went on their way home, there was so much to do at home, yet everyone was exhausted! Funerals had to be held, MIAs where filled out and sent to the other nations to see if their personnel were in their hospitals or if
they had truly run during the wars. KIAs had to be recorded and a new site for the expanded memorial stone had to be picked out and landscaped. Homes had to be rebuilt. Etc. All able bodies were needed to restore the village, and Kakashi was not able
bodied.

Iruka didn't know all the particulars, due to so many of the fighters being under the infinite tsukuyomi, but Kakashi had sub-stained substantial injuries. The most talked about being the loss of his sharingan. He was curious of course, but seeing as
Kakashi and himself weren't all that close, he just couldn't bring himself to ask. Kakashi of course wasn't offering details either.

The other most talked about event after the war was Naruto's successful defeat and retrieval of Sasuke Uchiha. Iruka still couldn't believe his wayward ex-student was back in the village. It had cost two friends an arm, lots of blood and anger but he
was definitely back.

Speaking of ex-students Iruka glanced at the clock on the back wall, he needed to check in on Naruto and his rehabilitation progress. Iruka sighed, readjusting the pile of paperwork he was bringing back to his desk, there was still so much to do.

Iruka glanced at Kakashi, he was back to looking through paperwork, Iruka sighed in relief. Every time Iruka had caught him staring at him a warm fluttering had developed in his gut. It felt like he was floating on hot air, and also like he was going
to throw up. Definitely pleasant and yet unpleasant to experience.

Gathering himself together, Iruka breathed out a sigh of resignation and began to sort and fill in the needed information requested on his paperwork.

...…

This is just a taste of my upcoming chapters.

It's been a long time since I wrote anything, so please be easy on the flames.

It's great to be back❣
