Chapter 2 When the wind blows again

"Iruka," A voice called out to him. He turned and his silky kimono caught the wind rising a bit. The kimono was red that matched his lavender hair color. His eyes were crystal blue and it was brought out by the silver hair pin.

It was Tyler they were going on a date together. Tyler was suspected to be a rouge nin giving information to another village. And it was Iruka job to stop them. Why he was chosen because of his good acting skills and ability to get out information from his target without them knowing it. So in other words he was the perfect spy.

The two of them kissed and they were both in love. Or at least he had to pretend he was in love. Tyler was the man of every women dream. The man was an attractive man. He was tall and very intelligence, He was brave and stupid. He was also kind and caring. So what was wrong with this picture?

Iruka can tell when people are faking. He's a teacher for crying out loud, so Iruka was able to conclude that Tyler was falsely accuse of being a traitor and Iruka was right.

It turned out that the actually traitor was a guy name Monle, the Junín of Tyler village. And for Monle not to be notice he used Tyler look as a disguised and he was blamed.

Iruka had to keep playing the roll of Tyler girlfriend until he finally revealed himself. Iruka felt guilty and talked to Tyler.

"Iruka, I don't care if you weren't the person you said to be. I still love you." He grabbed Iruka and pulled him into a long kiss.

Iruka pulled away and said, "My mission is over and I think you should find someone better then me. I toyed with your emotion plus I'll never see you again either so it's for the best."
Tyler looked distraught and said almost pathetically, "But you are what best for me. I won't let you go."

Iruka looked sad, what he wouldn't do to stay with him. "I'm sorry, but you have too." With that he disappeared never to be seen again.

Iruka smiled to himself when he went over his mission again. It was a sappy romance novel. Now it turned into a drama romance of obsession, pain, guilt, and love. Iruka turned over a frowned and sat up it was too nosy, but he wasn't registering anything, so he's still asleep.

"Iruka," somebody called to him. "Iruka wake up."

"What," Iruka rolled over. Ibiki was still shaking. Iruka jerked a bit and ask, "He's not really back is he?"

Ibiki winced and said yeah.

Iruka fell and said thought, 'My fault, this is all my fault.'

"It's not your fault you were doing it for a mission. You also proved his innocence."

"Yeah proving his innocence turned out to be a mistake on my part."

Ibiki sat down and put an arm around Iruka. The two of them are like brothers. They're always there for each other. "Now, now you don't mean that. You were obviously happy that you saved him. If I'm not correct you were in love with him." Iruka blushed. "You're still in love with him aren't you?"

Iruka nodded.

"So, I'm betting you were happy to see him."

"Yeah so happy I literally busted his jaw."

Ibiki gave a wry smile, "Yeah, but it looked like he was inspected it. Anyways while you were asleep, I told the fifth what happened on our last mission and who it was."

"Great now I got bigger fish to fry," A though came to him. "Why was there a miniature war up on the monument?"

Ibiki cough, "He came in the village without permission and then he demanded to see you. So we said no and he flipped. It turned into a small fight and when you got there it stop. Way to go."

Iruka rolled his eyes as Kakashi made a lame excuse to why he was at his apartment.

"Kakashi come in," the two of them don't see each other very much. Every since Sasuke left, Naruto left, and Sakura is training under the Hokage. There was no need for the two to be near each other. It was basically Naruto who brought them together. Iruka don't like the pervert, but he put up with him for Naruto sake.

"Ah, I figured I stop by and," Kakashi was cut off.

"Make sure I don't get dragged away by a crazy ninja civilian." Iruka said setting down the tea he made.

Kakashi air change, "Yes I would like for you to tell me about your mission."

Iruka stared him in the eye and said, "No."

Birds flew around Kakashi head as he process the word. "What?"

"I said no, you know N-O."

Kakashi snapped, "Why not I'm supposed to watch over you."

"Ah, but I don't remember asking for your protection." He countered. Kakashi looked like he got hit with a sledge hammer, but he refused to go down.

"Why don't you just swallow you pride and…"

"This isn't about my pride. This is about having the man I hate the most standing next to me."

Another hit. "Do you still hate me because of that?"

Iruka snorted, "I hated you way before that incident, the only reason I was near you because my dear Naru-chan wanted me to be there. I can't stand you Kakashi. Live with it."

………………………………………………………………………

Ibiki was shocked when he heard what Iruka said to Kakashi.

"Iruka, that's not like," Ibiki scolded. "What possess you to say that?"

"I don't know it just happened."

"Just happened?"

"Well," Iruka shrug he was lost. "It's just did, he somebody I can't be around. His very existence makes me depress I can't stand him."

"Do you feel like you're in inferior?" Ibiki asked.

"I'm just as powerful as he is."

"Then what is it?"

"He annoys me to no end because of his lack of respect. He probably thinks that just because he's a jounin he can do what ever he wants. I don't care who order him to watch over me. He was order to watch, not interrogate me. He was rude and disrespectful and I don't tolerate that kind of crap. Evading on my privacy, the nerve."

Ibiki nodded it all started to come together. "So he comes to your home."

"With a lame ass excuse."

"And you invited him in."

"Offering tea."

"Um-hum, so after you invited him in..."

"He said he was just stopping by.

"And it was really because…"

"He was "protecting" me from a maniac."

"And…"

"He asked, no, demanded I tell him about my mission."

"And…"

"I said no, I didn't remember asking for your protection and then he goes on about me needing to swallowing my pride and the next thing I knew I said all that to him." Iruka slammed his head on the table.

Ibiki knew exactly what was wrong, "You're about as tense as everybody because of him. You're in love with him and him trying to come after you yet you won't go to him. Even though it not a life threatening situation the very thought of having someone watching you unnerves you in every way possible. But what gets you the most is that nobody is giving you a say, so it finally broke you of your calm and reasonable behavior."

Iruka shrug and said, "You know what you're talking about."

"And I'm one hundred percent sure that everybody is sorry for what happen today."

Iruka stared at Ibiki and said, "Whatever."

There you have it. Obsession is a strong emotion don't you think?
