Kakashi took one last look over the class as he finished taking roll call. It seemed everyone was here and unsurprisingly everyone had chosen the same seats as last year. He turned his gaze to his fellow teachers. He smiled to himself as he looked at Asuma, not only was Asuma the best science teacher Konoha had to offer but he was also Kakashi's right hand man. Kakashi was pretty sure Asuma knew more about what was going on his life then he did himself. Next came Iruka. In Kakashi's complete unbiased opinion he was the best Konoha had to offer in everything, Kakashi was pretty sure he wouldn't be about to run his class room without the man by his side though he would never tell Iruka that. He started shaking his head as Iruka locked eyes with him and rolled them. He let out a small sigh as his eye finally landed on Kurenai. Out of all the Language Arts teachers that he could have been assigned why did it have to be her. Why did Landy Tsunade do this to him? He decided that he was going to have a nice long talk with her or, more than likely, he was going to beg her to assign him someone else. Hiruzen or Shikaku. Yeah Shikaku would be perfect.
Kakashi must have been in his own thoughts a little too long because they were broken by two boys arguing. As if he didn't already have his hands full with the teachers he also had to deal with Naruto and Sasuke. Having those to around was like throwing oil on to a fire, it was going to be a long year indeed.
Sasuke rolled his eyes as Naruto went on and on about his summer, like him and Sakura hadn't been there, it was quite annoying and was beginning to irritate him. "You're such a loser." He said with a slight smirk, he knew just how to push Naruto's buttons. He knew Naruto was going to make a scene out of this. They boy was nothing if not predictable in this regard. He was worse than Sakura at times and Sakura was annoying all of time. He just didn't understand why she gave him googly eyes all the time when half the time he didn't even give her the time of day. Honestly, he really didn't understand why all the girls looked at him like that, he didn't really care. He just found it highly annoying, but then again, he found just about everything annoying.
Naruto stopped mid-sentence as he turned to look at Sasuke. All he was trying to do was pass the time. He knew Sasuke and Sakura had been with him all summer, but Sasuke didn't have to be so rude. He knew that's just how Sasuke was and a part of him knew Sasuke was just trying to get under his skin and he should just let it go. However, when it came to Sasuke he just couldn't, and besides all he was trying to do was pas the time. "I'm not a loser, idiot" Naruto said as he locked eyes with Sasuke. "You're the idiot, idiot" Sasuke said with a sigh.
Naruto was pissed as he looked at Sasuke. How could Sasuke sat there looking so calm and cool? It made Naruto want to punch him. Hell, it made Naruto want to do a lot of things but before he could act on anything of these things he got a slap to the back of his head. He didn't have to guess where this slap come from. He knew all too well that it belonged to no one other than Sakura. He should have guessed something like this would have happened. He couldn't for the life of him figure out why Sakura got so mad at just him when he and Sasuke got in their "little" fights. He knew Sakura was in love with Sasuke, he didn't really know why when Sasuke didn't give her the time of day unless Naruto was around, so why did she only have to hit him? He didn't get it.
"DON'T YOU LAY A HAND ON MY BELOVED SASKUE" Sakura all but yelled at Naruto as he turned to look at her rubbing the back of his head as he did so. Naruto sighed as he looked at Sakura. Seeing the fire in her eyes he just couldn't understand why she would fall for someone like Sasuke. It's not like Sasuke had the same feelings, or at least it did not seem like he did. Never the less it was always Sasuke this and Sasuke that. He was tired of it and he was going to let Sakura have a piece of his mind, but before he could do that Kakashi was standing in front of them.
Kakashi sighed as he stood in front of his three favorite students. He usually would let this slide and just move on, which would make the other three teachers get on to him about. Which was ironic since they had their favorites as well, regardless of what they said. As such he didn't pay them to much attention, but it was the first day of school so he had to be hard on them. As he rolled his eye he looked from one to another before his eye landed on Naruto. "I want you and Sasuke to both stay after class today, and as for you Sakura you will be helping Lady Tsunade with her after school duties." He didn't give time for Naruto to argue, as he walked off to start to teach the class. Naruto looked at Sasuke and at the same time they "Hmp" as they crossed their arms and turned their heads away from each other. Sakura sighed and let her head fall on After school duties were never fun and having to do them with Lady Tsunade was going to kill her, or so she thought.
Kakashi stood at the white board in the front of the class with a dry erase marker in his hand, staring blanking at it. He had no idea where he was going to start. He hadn't planned for the day, and now he was stuck. Turning his head to look at Iruka with a pleading look in his eye, he was relieved as Iruka stood from his desk, walked over to him and took the marker out of his hand and whispered, "You owe me" as he began to write on the board.
Smirking as he whispered, "anything you want, as long as I get to choose." He then began walking over to his desk to plan the rest of the day out. Iruka shook his head as he finished writing. "How is it anything I want if you get to choose? We will just end up doing something you want like we always do. I can't deal with you." He thought to himself, sometimes he wondered why he put up with Kakashi in the first place. The man was beyond lazy, he is irritating, he had an excuse for any and everything. But he could also be the smartest man in the room, he went above and beyond what would normally be expected for the people he loved and cared for. To cap it off the man was also his best friend and he knew with that reason alone was why he put up with Kakashi.
Turning to face the class he smiled as he looked at all their happy faces except for Naruto and Sasuke who had a sour look but that was nothing new. He was hoping Naruto had grown up a little over the summer but that didn't look like the case. Most of them looked happy to be there. "Alright, for you first assignment I want you to write a page long paper in a three-paragraph form about what you did over the summer. It can be longer then a page but it cannot be shorter. Naruto" Few laughs broke out when Naruto's name left his mouth, one of those laughs belonged to Kiba Inuzaka, he was also known for trying to get out of work or make it look like he did more than he really did. "That goes for you as well Kiba." Iruka added as the laughs dyed down.
Kiba's laughed died after he heard Iruka call him out. Akamaru let out a small growl, Kiba rubbed his head and said in a soft light voice "Shh, boy that's just what I get for laughing at Naruto." He normally didn't care what people had to say about him and he would have thrown out a smart-ass remark to make the class laugh but he didn't want Iruka Sensei to hear Akamaru. He got kicked out of class to many times last year for bring Akamaru and no matter what point Kiba made for having him there they wouldn't listen. Kiba never went anywhere without Akamaru and he wasn't going to start now, they never made a big deal before so he didn't know why they were making it a big deal now but either way he was going to keep Akamaru with him. He just didn't want his teachers to find out because they would call his sister and she was one person that Kiba did not want to upset. Besides the way he saw it, if Kakashi's dog Pakkun could come in and out anytime he wanted then he should be able to have Akamaru here whenever he wanted. It was only fair, right?
Naruto stuck his tongue out at Sasuke as he dug into his bag for a pen. However, after looking for what seemed like forever he decided that it was a futile effort and gave up searching. Gazing over at Sakura he thought to ask her for one, but shaking his head he decided against it. He really didn't want to be hit again. She would blame him for her after school duties and would most likely hit him. Hell, it's not like she had anything to do after school anyways besides make googly eyes at Sasuke. He was sure he and Sasuke had plans anyway. That thought brought a smile to his face and he found that he was far happier than he should be at the thought. For some reason, he found himself wanting to be around Sasuke more and more. He told himself it was because he was his best friend and he just didn't like being by himself all the time, but lately he had started to doubt that and was beginning to think there might be more to it. He decided he wasn't going to get a pen out of the pink haired girl even if he did ask. So instead he turned to ask Sasuke who, to his surprise, was holding a pen out to him. Taking it out of his hand a grin crossed his face, "This is why you're my best friend, teme" he said as he took the pen. their fingers brushed for no more than a second but his breath caught in his throat and his heart skipped a beat. He was sure Sasuke felt it to from the look in his eyes.
Sakura sighed as she got out her pen, she could see Naruto looking at her out the corner of her eye but just ignored him. He already caused her enough trouble to day. She brought her hair behind her ear so she could hear what Naruto and Sasuke were saying, grabbing her pen tighter as she listens and almost snapped it in half when she saw the look in Sasuke eyes as the boys' hand's brushed. He never looked at her that way. In fact, she was sure Naruto was the only person he had ever looked at like that and she sure as hell wasn't going to lose him to Naruto of all people, not if it was up to her.
Iruka smiled as the class began to write. All in all, he figured it would take them about an hour or so to finish. That should give Kakashi enough time to plan the day out but if he knew the man as good as he thought he did he was sure he was going to have Kurenai come up next and then he would have Asuma come up as well. By the time Asuma was done it would be time for them to head off to gym. He was pretty sure Kakashi wasn't going to do any real teaching today. As sure as the sky was blue he watched Kurenai walk up to the board he was still standing at.
Kurenai smiled as she walked up to the board her boyfriend was standing at. Kakashi didn't have to tell her she was up next, it might have been her first year working in his class and it was a real honor, because of how highly Kakashi was held as a teacher, Never the less, she just couldn't stand the man. She hated him. Maybe hate was a strong word but she strongly disliked him and she only put up with him because he was Iruka's best friend. She wasn't going to tell him who he can and can't be friends with. At least for right now she wasn't. She could see plain as day that Kakashi was in love with "her" Iruka, even if Iruka was blind to and she knew what Kakashi was up to even if he thought she didn't. She had heard enough stories from Iruka that she would be up next seeing as Iruka always went first and Asuma last. Kurenai placed a small kiss to Iruka's check. She Knew Iruka didn't like doing such things at work, but she knew Kakashi was watching.
Iruka smiled as he girlfriend gave him a small kiss, he didn't let her do that at school but it being the first day and all he let it slide as they talked about her first lesson of the year.
Kakashi found it hard to keep his facial expression under control as he watched Kurenai walk up to Iruka. "If looks could kill" Asuma said softly so only Kakashi could hear him as he watched the pair. Kakashi sighed as he took his eye of them and looked at Asuma. "I can't help it. There's just something about that devil women that I don't care for" He said in a low voice. Asuma chuckled as he looked at his best friend. "We both know why you don't 'care' for her, but since that involves a certain man that just so happens to be walking this way, we can talk about that at a later point in time." Kakashi threw his head back and spun in his chair hopping the day would go by faster than it was now.
