"Iruka" Almost spilling his mug of tea, Iruka glares as a young blonde runs into his classroom.
He sighs as he puts down his hot drink. "What is it Naruto?"
"I'm bored when can we go home? I want Ramen for dinner tonight." Naruto held up his fists and bounced in excitement. He smiled brightly up at his Sensei who eventually smiled back.
Patting Naruto's head Iruka turned back to some paper work he had been trying to get through. "Once we are done with the meeting we will go out for Raman, but only if you behave. Got it?" Naruto pouted. "C'mon Naruto. I'm sure once Sasuke and his parent get here it'll go by real quick."
Naruto crossed his arms and plopped down into a chair by Iruka behind the desk. Iruka had been his parent since Naruto was born. His dad died in a car wreck, and his mother dies at child birth. He didn't find it unbearably sad since he hadn't known them. Besides, he loved Iruka and Iruka took care of him. In a way Iruka was like a mom and a dad to him. And as of this year, he had become Naruto's fifth grade teacher.
"Knock-knock, anyone home?" Iruka looked up from his paper work to see a tall, lean, white haired man. He wore torn blue jeans and a cotton grey sweater. He had a light scar across his eyes. It was practically invisible seeing that Iruka couldn't rip his own eyes from the man's misty hazel eyes.
The man took a step in revealing Sasuke standing behind him looking just as bored as Naruto. "Iruka sensei?" Iruka stood and nodded. The white haired devil had a hint of a smirk as he walked the rest of the way in while Sasuke reluctantly followed. "My name is Kakashi, I'm Sasuke's legal guardian."
Iruka stuck out his hand and Kakashi accepted it, they shook hands and both sat down on either sides of the desk. "You can just call me Iruka." He uncontrollably found himself smiling brightly.
Sasuke remained standing instead of taking a seat. Naruto made a face at Sasuke and in return Sasuke stuck his tongue out at him. Kakashi elbowed Sasuke, and Iruka gave Naruto a warning glare.
"As you can see Sasuke and Naruto have been bickering back and forth to the point that it has interrupted class. I was hoping that we could all meet and try to talk this out. Normally we would just start giving you guy's detention but I pulled some strings and now we have a meeting to figure something out." Iruka explained in a business-like voice.
"I agree, that sounds like a good enough idea." Iruka smiled brightly again at Kakashi's praise. His voice was low and enchanting. "We should let them fight it out right here and now."
Iruka only stared at Kakashi stunned and trying to figure out if he heard him correctly. "Hey Iruka! I'm okay with that." Naruto said cracking his knuckles.
"Hn, this will be fun." Sasuke smirked which caused Naruto to growl.
"Absolutely not! That is most definitely not what I had in mind." Kakashi laughed and Iruka found himself glaring at him. Kakashi smirked deviously at Iruka, with a heavy heav Iruka looked away and cleared his head. "Let's start with trying to figure out why you to constantly pick at each other. Sasuke you can go first."
Kakashi nodded and Naruto mumbled something hateful. Sasuke stared at the blonde for a few moments before answering. "For starters he just makes it way to easy." Naruto growled. "not needing to mention the fact that he's messy, loud, obnoxious, and he's the one that picks the fights."
Iruka nodded and played with the cap on his pen. "It sounds to me like they just need to punch each other to get some of that brand new testosterone out of their systems." Kakashi commented.
"No!" Iruka barked dropping the cap onto the desk's surface. Kakashi held up his hands in defeat and Iruka rolled his eyes. "Naruto why don't you go."
"He's a Bastard." Naruto said without hesitation. Iruka clapped a hand over his mouth.
"Naruto!" He hissed. "Do not use that word." Iruka all but throttled Naruto right there.
"Hey." Iruka felt warm hands grab his own. "Let the kid go for it, I didn't make Sasuke hold back." Iruke released Naruto and allowed him to breath. He waited for Kakashi to let go, he looked up and Saw an unreadable look on Kakashi's features. He quickly pulled his hands away and motioned for Naruto to continue.
"Anyways, he thinks he's so great just because he has good grades, and knows how to do everything. He practically acts like a god because everyone loves him even though he's a total di-uh, I mean jerk. Also, he's the one that starts the fight; he calls me names like kitsune." Naruto unconsciously reached up to touch the faint cat like marks on his face. "I'm not gonna just take that!" Iruka places a comforting hand on Naruto's arm.
"Well, is there any way you two can stop fighting?"
"NO!" Both yelled simultaneously.
"Well then." Kakashi said standing to stretch out. "Sounds like you guys were destined to become best friends." Everyone looked at Kakashi in disbelief.
"Please tell me that was your lame attempt at sarcasm." Sasuke asked rolling his eyes.
Even though what Kakashi had said was pretty off target, that wasn't the complete reason Iruka stared at him. His face reddened as he realized he was shamelessly ogling Kakashi's toned stomach as his sweater rose up while he stretched. Quickly he averted his eyes and tapped his pen against his desk.
"Nope, I'm as serious as a heart attack." Kakashi sat back down scooting his chair closer to the small desk. Iruka's pen tapping visibly intensified. "Sometimes when you have a strong reaction to a person, it means you're going to be with that person for a long time, so you might as well become friends and live with it." Kakashi never looked away from Iruka while he spoke, and Iruka kept glancing up and instantly looking away.
Sasuke and Naruto stared at each other, trying to envision a world where they didn't bicker or send each other dirty looks. "Nope, not happening." Naruto looked up at Iruka who was relieved to have his attention drawn away from the previously mention white haired devil.
"I know something we can try, it's something real simple and actually pretty handy on my part." Iruka and the two boys gave him a questioning look. "Since you guys wanna fight every time you see each other-"
"They are not fighting!" Iruka interrupted.
Kakashi gave him a smirk. "Calm down that's not what I was going to say." Iruka watched him suspiciously but let him continue. "For now on every Saturday you two will be forced to meet up and spend all day together." Both boys immediately started yelling about how 'unfair' it was.
"Also!" Kakashi yelled to get their attention. "On Wednesday's I need you to allow Sasuke to go home with you two until I come pick him up." That really sent the boys into a riot. Even Iruka looked incredulous at this.
"Hey!" Both boys went silent and watched Iruka. "Go do something, go away for a few minutes; and so help me Naruto if you get into I fight you won't see Ramen until you graduate high school." Naruto looked horrified and quickly nodded and ran out of the room. Kakashi nodded to Sasuke who rolled his eyes as he left the room as well.
"Ok so what was that?" Iruka didn't like the fact that Kakashi was now standing again.
"If the boys hate spending time together so much, then their punishment for fighting so much will be to spend Saturdays together. They don't have to become friends; they just have to learn to tolerate each other's existence." Kakashi had slowly made it all the way around the desk.
Iruka looked thoughtful for a moment. He hated to admit it but it didn't sound like too terrible of an idea. "Wait a minute!" Iruka stood up suddenly and turned to face Kakashi who was way closer than Iruka remembered him being. "What's with this Wednesday business. You barely know mw and you're going to trust your kid with coming to my house?"
"Why not?" Kakashi shrugged. Iruka looked shocked and through his hands up. "What?"
"For all you know I could beat Naruto on a daily base, I could be an alcoholic, or something along those lines. Just because someone is a teacher, or has a kid of their own, doesn't mean they are a good person and can be trusted!" Iruka ranted on lost in the moment.
"I see where you're coming from. Just by spending the last few moments with you, I know you love kids and you're a good enough person." Kakashi rolled his head to the side lazily. Iruka gave him a disbelieving look and Kakashi sighed.
"You have pictures of you and kids everywhere in this room, telling me you at least like kids. Your suit is clean and wrinkle free, so you clean very well. You care a lot, maybe more than you should since you went through the trouble of calling this meeting and then getting upset because I was willing to have Sasuke start going home with you."
"Ok! I get it, you're very observant." Iruka looked away poutfuly glaring at the ceiling.
"Oh no, let me continue. You like to make the best impression, you're a very good host, whenever you are embarrassed or nervous you find something to do with your hands, and you use a flowery kind of shampoo." Iruk turned on him in astonishment but lost all air. He and Kakashi had almost bumped noses he was so close.
"You didn't have to go that far, I had said I got it." He tried to take a step back to gain some distance when his beck met the side of a filing cabinet.
"Also one more thing, I believe it's going to be one of my new favorite things to do. Just to really entertain myself. I'm not even sure if you're aware of this one." Kakashi's voice was low and sultry. May I?"
Kakashi grabbed Iruka's chin and forced his head up so that they met eyes. He slowly closed the two inches between them. "No." Iruka managed to whimper out in a whisper. Kakashi and Iruka's lips were only pressed together, neither moving them.
Releasing Iruka and quickly heading for the door Iruka forced his brain to function enough for him to speak. "I still haven't agreed!"
"But you will." Kakashi said back, not even caring enough to look back.
"Tomorrow is Saturday though!" Iruka moved from behind his desk as the boys came running back.
"Iruka! There's a ghost in Mrs. Moody-Sooneys room." Sasuke heaving as much as Naruto was glared at him.
"No there isn't you idiot! Don't take off like that! I don't run." Sasuke straightened himself up.
Naruto looked at him amazed. "So the great Sasuke Uchiha does have a weakness." Naruto smirked and Sasuke glared. Let the battle begin.
Over the boy's yelling Iruka yelled over to Kakashi. "Where do you want to meet?"
With a grin that Iruka found extremely untrustworthy and a bit on the creepy side, Kakashi answered. "We can meet at the park and then head back to your place. Iruka glared at him. "Relax, it's so I know where your house is for when I go to get Sasuke Wednesday."
Iruka crossed his arms and moved from one foot to the other. "Iruka." Chills filled him as he looked up into the small hazel eyes that captured him. "Don't act so burdened this is good. It means we will get to see more of each other."
"Iruka sarcastically smiled and twirled his finger in the air. "Woohoo." Kakashi laughed and Iruka was taken aback by how gently his laughter was. It was quite and fluttered from his lips.
"Alright Sasuke let's go." Iruka watched them leave and ended up unconsciously waving when Kakashi waved.
"Iruka what just happened?" Naruto looked up in wonder. Iruka shrugged and started gathering his papers.
Once they were gathered and stuffed into his suitcase he turned to Naruto. "I believe we just met the devil."
"I told you Sasuke was evil!" Naruto intertwined his fingers and held them behind his head.
"Not what I meant buddy." Iruka shook his head and smiled. "Let's go get that Ramen." Naruto started running around in excitement.
There is that. The ending was rushed but oh well. Please review! Also please excuses any mistakes. Happy Thanksgiving!
