Enjoy, Kakashi-Sensei! (Random readers, don't ask!)

The rest of you: Thanks for reading, and enjoy!

Chapter 2

Kakashi woke up bright and early the next morning and rolled himself out of bed. He grabbed his clothes and jumped into the shower. When he got out, he went into his kitchen to make himself some breakfast: bacon and eggs.

As he was cooking, his mind drifted back to what happened the previous night. Kakashi was still confused about it.

'What if the dream didn't' mean anything,' Kakashi wondered. 'or what if it did mean something, but not what I think it means? What if Itachi caused me to have that dream so he could lure me to him and possibly kill me?'

His own thought struck him as odd. Was that even possible? Could it have been possible for Itachi to send him such a dream?

'No,' Kakashi thought. 'If that was the case… If Itachi really wanted me to go to him, wouldn't he have sent me a different dream…? Maybe one of Naruto being held hostage, or another of my students? Why would he even send me this particular dream?'

Kakashi became more and more confused over the dream. That is, until another possibility occurred to him.

'What if Itachi really has these feelings for me,' Kakashi asked himself. 'What will I do? And what about Iruka? What would he do?' Kakashi knew he shouldn't spend to much time thinking about it. He was already thinking about it way too much. But how could he help it?

A knock at Kakashi's door made him jump. Iruka came walking into the kitchen. Iruka smiled. "Good morning, Sunshine." He said.

Kakashi stared at him. "Morning. What are you doing here?"

Iruka feigned a shocked face. "What? Can't I say hello to my dear friend, Kakashi?"

"No. Not without dear Kakashi's permission."

"You're so mean."

"You gotta love me."

"No I don't. I can love whoever I please." Iruka crossed in arms in a mock pout.

"Oh, so you don't love me anymore?"

"I didn't say that, now did I?"

Kakashi smirked. Iruka always seemed to know how to make him laugh. He looked over at Iruka. "Want some bacon and eggs?"

"I'd love some."

"Well, make it yourself."

"What?"

"Just kidding." Kakashi laughed. He stopped laughing when last night's dream yet again popped into his head. What was he going to do?

'Should I tell Iruka now, or later?' Kakashi thought. 'If I told him now, he'll probably object to me going to see Itachi. But if I tell him later, it could cause problems. It seems I'm in a lose-lose situation. But what if… What if I told Iruka right after I see Itachi? I'm sure he'll understand. Wouldn't he understand?'

Kakashi came to the conclusion that he would tell Iruka directly after he saw Itachi. That way, if nothing happened, Iruka wouldn't have any reason to make a fuss over Kakashi going to see Itachi.

Once Kakashi was finished cooking, he gave Iruka a plate and got his food. With Iruka there, Kakashi knew that he would have to wait to see Itachi. But he knew that Iruka had to work today, unlike him.

"So what are you going to do today? Any missions?" Iruka asked.

"No," Kakashi replied. "Lady Tsunade gave me the day off, so I'm thinking of taking a long walk to sort some things out."

"Like what?"

"Just some things."

"Oh." Iruka knew he wasn't going to get anything out of Kakashi. "Well, maybe you want eat dinner with me tonight? My treat."

"Where at?"

" Where else? My place, of course."

"Sure, I guess."

Once he finished his meal, Iruka set his empty plate in the sink. He turned to Kakashi as if there was something he was going to say, but then thought better of saying it. "Ok." He said. "I'll see you then."

Kakashi nodded and Iruka left. Kakashi wondered why he'd not said more. Iruka was normally the one talking the whole time. And yet, it seemed as though he didn't want to talk.

'Maybe Iruka knows.' Kakashi thought to himself. 'Maybe he knows exactly what happened last night. But how? How could he have figured it out?'

Kakashi decided not to dwell on that thought, as he got up and put his own plate into the sink. Once he thought about everything Iruka had said, it seemed more and more likely that Iruka knew everything.

'He gave me a time to be back.' He thought. 'Iruka basically knew I was up to something and so he told me when to be back. Maybe he was worried…? Yes, if he knew, then there are plenty of reasons for him to be worried, I suppose. I guess I should get going soon. I don't have all day. Literally.'

Kakashi left his home and headed for the forest that surrounded the village. He waved to the two watchmen that stood outside Konoha gates. They gave him an odd look and then waved back.

'They know I have the day off…'

Kakashi wondered whether or not he should actually go through with his plan. It was definitely dangerous, but it could be beneficial.

And so, deciding that, no matter what, he couldn't turn back, Kakashi walked into the dense forest, ready to confront Itachi.
