GO BACK TO SLEEP, SENSEI.
Neji frowned, rubbing his shoulder as though that would be all it would take to get it back in place, or, you know, back in his shoulder socket. That'd be nice. He groaned. He just wanted to go home. He'd finished the stupid mission—point in fact: he was never having kids, regardless of Fate; he was exhausted, he hadn't had much of a breakfast thanks to Lee's ear-shattering entrance that morning. (Neji had still been wearing his Panda slippers. He had made Lee promise on pain of death that this fact would never leave the Hyuuga Complex.) And, it was currently past the middle of the night.
It was dark.
He was injured.
And, he was hungry.
When he heard the first few musical notes, Neji stopped dead in his tracks. He blinked, realized he really didn't want to know, shook his long hair back, and began to walk again.
He made it four feet before he stopped again.
"Dun dun DAH DAH dun dun duh-duh-DUNH…."
Neji watched disbelievingly as Kakashi entered stage left in a stealth mode that had Naruto written all over it. His mouth dropped open. Neji watched as Kakashi edged around the corner, continuing….
"Deedle-dooooowww, deedle-dooooowww, dun dun DAH DAH dun dun…."
Were those daisies?! Neji wondered at the bundle of flowers in Kakashi's hand. He found himself quite incapable of moving at this point. Instead, he watched as Kakashi leapt up the side of an apartment building and edged near the window. The music was softer now, and Neji could almost pretend it wasn't happening….almost.
Kakashi slipped in through the window of the fourth floor, apartment 22B. His mouth morphed into a grin as he watched the slow rise and fall of his next victim's chest in the darkness.
"Mnngmn," Iruka mumbled as he turned over in the bed, pulling the thin sheet under his chin and exposing his feet. The jounnin crept closer and perched on the chair beside Iruka's bed. He turned and placed the bouquet of flowers on top of Iruka's dresser, a small note attached.
"'Kashi?" Iruka murmured indistinctly, his eyebrows furrowing above closed eyes.
"Shh, love. I'm back. Go back to sleep, sensei." He brushed a lock of brown hair out of Iruka's eyes and grinned. "Told you that mission wasn't too hard."
Author's Note: Sorry about the late update, it's exam week and I totally forgot about my story....luckily I've got one more exam tomorrow and then I am FINISHED. :D Thank you all for your kind reviews! I will try to reply to them next week~
