Chapter 3
Iruka Arrives…Finally!

Kakashi groaned for the near millionth time that day. These damn chibis were driving him up the wall! Except for Naruto and Shino. Naruto was uncharacteristically quiet, and occasionally helped keep the chibis in line, and Shino was more than happy to just hang onto Naruto and stay out of the way.
Unfortunately, the fact that those two were out of his hair meant that the other chibis had to pick up the slack because of lack of chaos. Hinata had recently acquainted the wall with bright orange paint, the couch (or what remained of it once Tenten had found Neji) with orange paint hand prints, and the ceiling with bright orange splotches of paint caused by throwing the paintbrush into the ceiling.
Lee was still reading his books with the same look on his face, and now Gaara was into another volume of Icha Icha while still chewing on Lee's hair. Temari was busying herself with braiding Shikamaru's hair, using spaghetti noodles when she couldn't find enough hair. Ino was helping Sakura as she tried to pull Kiba off of Sasuke. Kiba was no longer fighting with Sasuke, but trying his best to de-pants the Uchiha before he managed to get away. Kankuro was bawling because Gaara had used his sand to take one of the Barbie's head off. Tenten had continued to play hide-and-seek-and-stab with Neji, who now had a his fair share of cuts (though they weren't to deep, as chibi Tenten couldn't exactly marry a dead chibi Neji, now could she?).
'Where the hell is Iruka?' Kakashi thought. There was no way he could survive this by himself. He also had a strange feeling he was forgetting someone. Just as he thought that, Choji plowed into him, running him over and heading for the kitchen.
He heard a knock at his door, just as Kiba managed to de-pants a now bawling Sasuke. Kakashi rushed to the door, hoping like hell that it was Iruka.

Iruka looked around the room in disbelief.
"What…did…you…do?" he asked.
"Eh, I was kinda hoping you could tell me?" Kakashi replied lamely. Iruka shook his head and gave an exasperated sigh.
"Alright! Everyone calm down! Kiba, get off the bookcase before you hurt yourself! Gaara, stop chewing on Lee's head. Tenten - NO! Put the knife down! Tenten, do not chase Neji around with the knife! Tenten! Give me the knife! Thank you. Now go…sit somewhere. Temari, stop hitting Kankuro with your fan. Kankuro stop hitting Naruto with the doll."
"Action figure!" Kankuro interrupted.
"Fine. Stop hitting Naruto with the action figure. Tenten, put the Shuriken down!"
'This is going to be a long day,' Kakashi thought, sighing.

Kakashi blinked. The chibis were actually…behaving. How was this possible? And what exactly did Iruka do to them? Each chibi had his or her own spot in the hallway (the kitchen area, dining room area-which was in the kitchen area anyway, and the living room were all too…destroyed) and had a piece of paper and a crayon. His kitchen and living room were being cleaned by a genin team that decided they didn't want to chase the Fire Lord's wife's cat, and figured that cleaning couldn't be very hard. Kakashi felt very sorry for the Konohamaru corps, and for Ebisu, who would no doubt hear their whining about this mission for a long time.
"How?"
"Very easy," Iruka said, smiling, "Promise them candy."
"Candy?"
"Candy," Iruka repeated, "Unfortunately, you and I are very soon going to be dealing with thirteen sugar high chibis."
"Only thirteen?"
"Shino doesn't like candy, and Naruto never gets sugar high," Iruka explained, "Unfortunately, Sasuke does, and there are several burnable items in your apartment. I would suggest moving them to a safe place while you can." Kakashi got the eerie feeling that this was only the calm before the storm.

Kakashi figured that from Iruka's warning, Sasuke would be the worst on sugar high, but noooooo…Lee was. It was worse than when Lee got a hold of sake.

"YOU LEFT PORN OUT FOR THE POOR INNOCENT CHIBIS TO FIND!" Iruka yelled.
"Icha Icha Fun!" Lee cheered, making Iruka's face scrunch up. Kakashi might have thought it cute had it not been in anger at him.
"YOU LET LEE READ THE PORN!"

Sakura was pulling Sasuke by the waist, who was pulling Naruto by the waist, who currently had a death grip on Shino, who was doing his best to pull Naruto away from Sasuke.

'Why the hell did I give them sugar again?' Iruka asked himself, 'Oh yeah, because it was their parents that actually had to deal with the sugar high.' Iruka groaned. Yep, he was screwed.
