Iruka decided to head for the Ichimaru Ramen. Maybe tommorrow he'd check out that new koren barbecue place. As he walked down the road, nodding at the villager's and occasional shinobi he felt someone watching him with intense concentration. Casually Iruka turned down a alleyway and jumped onto one of the roofs. He quickly ducked behind a chimmeny stack and peered out. there was a blur as someone jumped onto the roof across from Iruka and peered into the alleyway. Curseing floated over to Iruka and the just rising moonlight shone on the one and only Kakashi Hatake's hair. Iruka rolled his eyes. 'He is persistent, I'll give him that.' Kakashi stood up and rubbed the back of his head. "Damn it all to hell. He gave me the slip." Kakashi grumbled and dragged his hand over his one eye and pinched the bridge of his nose. "Bah! Forget it. Tomorrow, I'll try again." with that kakashi jumped down into the alley and vanished. Iruka sat there for a mintue, listening to see if Kakahi was just luring him out. After 10 mintues passed iruka was satishied that there was no one near him. He stood up and brushed off his pants. "Well, I'm not letting that throw off my dinner plans." And iruka contined to Ichimaru.
Kakashi sat at the counter at Ichmaru, and gazed, grumpily into his sake. The ramen owner set his order down in front of him. "Hey, you okay?" was the concerned query. Kakashi looked at and smiled at the man. "I'm good. Ikadasmasu!" Kakashi broke his chopsticks and got ready to eat when a familer "Ohayo!" reached his ears. He turned around and saw Iruka-sensai enter.
Iruka paused as he saw Kakashi but smiled and walked to the counter. He slid onto the seat next to Kakashi. "I'll have my usual." The owner nodded and smiled. "Coming right up Iruka-kun."
Kakashi stared at Iruka and blinked.
Iruka turned to Kakashi. "Good evening Kakashi-san. Ramen is best eaten hot." he smiled at Kakashi.
Kakashi blinked again, "Maa, Right." He turned to his ramen and was about to eat when he saw Iruka move. He looked back at iruka who was looking up at the menu. Iruka just smiled. Kakashi gave a small nod and procedded to eat, very quickly. With a sigh he finished and pulled his mask back up. By then Iruka's ramen had arrived. "Ikadakimasu!" Iruka broke his chopsticks and proceeded to eat himself, pausing to blow on the hot noodles. "So, How are you Kakashi-san?" Iruka asked between bites. Kakashi shrugged. "I'm good. How about yourself."
"Same as usual Although I though I felt someone following me eariler tonight." Iruka glaced at Kakashi.
Kakashi stiffened slightly but still appeared nonchalent. "Is that so? Did you see who it was?"
Iruka shook his head as he finished the ramen. "Nope, Unfourtunatly." Kakashi relaxed. "I'm sorry to hear that. Here, I'll pay for you, if you don't mind." Iruka raised an eyebrow at Kakashi. "If you want to."
Kakashi fished out the exact amount needed for both bowls and his sake. Then heand Iruka walked out of the store together. "Well. See you tomorrow." Kakashi said as he turned and headed towards his home. "Maybe. I hope you have better luck tomorrow." Kakashi spun around astonished but Iruka was already gone. He stared at where Iruka had been. "What's going on here?" He asked the night confused.
Iruka wasn't even breathing heavily when he got home, even though he had sprinted across the whole village. He laughed to himself as he remembered Kakashi's astonished expression as Iruka fled. He glazed at his clock, It was only 10 pm. With a sigh Iruka went and showered. As he stepped out, only in his towel there was a noise at his window. Quickly he whirled around a kunei in his hand, but it was only a bird. He sighed and flicked the kunei into the wall as he went over and opened the window, for it was one of the hokages special ravens. The raven flew in and setteled on his shoulder. It looked at him with it's shiny onyx eye. Iruka made a cawing noise at it. The raven cawed back. "Alright then. What is your message?" he asked. The raven cawed once roughly then started to speak. "Hello Ravenshadow." Iruka rolled his eyes. "Hello Farshadow, your message? We can talk later." Farshadow cawed in amusment."Still as impatient as before Ravenshdow, friend of ravens." Iruka gave the bird a very level look. Farshadow nibbled at Iruka's wet hair. "Very well. The hokage request the presence of Umino Iruka, but says that Black Tiger must be ready." Iruka gave a short intake of breath. "Black Tiger... is it really that urgent?" Farshadow gave a bird-shrug of the wings. "I do not know. But YOU are being called as Black tiger, so it must be urgent. I go to give her a reply, what is your reply?" Farshadow flew over to the open window and looked at him. Iruka stood there looking at his feet where water pooling from his still dripping hair. He looked up at the raven. "Very well. Tell the Hokage I'll come."
