A/N: Sorry that it is taking a little longer to update, but I still update! People who actually review not just alert or favourite, thank you, they are appreciated. It's not that I hate the people who just favourite or alert but people come one, please drop me a review, just a quick hello this story was (insert adjective to your liking), please?
Kakashi tried out what seemed like his millionth pair of pants and he was about to claw off the size too small jeans.
They have shopped for hours, they got their toiletries, bedding and now all that was left was clothes and that was no easy feat to get through. Iruka claimed they needed more than two items of tops and shorts and then had picked the store clean.
In the end Naruto and Sasuke had to tag along. Kakashi sighed, he understood why Naruto would be complaining to go home.
A knocking came at his changing room door. "How do those pants fit?" Iruka yelled.
"They are a bit small but don't worry about getting a bigger size, I really think I have all the clothes I need," he yelled back and he murmured, "for the next fifty years."
"Are you sure?" Iruka was really such a kind hearted man but don't let that trick you into thinking he was a softy, when he wanted to buy Kakashi clothes he was relentless.
Kakashi thought it was a cute quirk. "Yes, I'm sure." Kakashi quickly changed into his own clothes and stepped out of the booth.
"I really do think you need at least on more pair of pants…" Iruka had said this with some doubt.
Kakashi looked to the huge pile that people were currently staring at, and that was only his clothes. "I am positive, can we go home now?"
"While you were in the changing room Naruto had dragged Sasuke off somewhere to find clothes for him," YES! Kakashi thought, "and I said we will meet them thirty minutes from now…"
Kakashi nodded, his head full off thoughts, to any onlookers he seemed to be concentrating and looked serious, but what was really going in Kakashi's head was something like this… 'Iruka and I all alone… YES! YES! YES! We could do so much stuff together… so much stuff'.
"shi, Kakashi?"
Kakashi looked to Iruka. "Hmm?"
"I was thinking, you know, since you can't read and all, maybe I should teach you?"
Kakashi looked down to Iruka. Did this man have a heart made of gold? Kakashi swore Iruka had. "If that isn't too much trouble." He said it carelessly but it really did touch him, it was nice to know that Iruka cared enough for him to teach him to read.
~~~0~~~
The bookshop was small and quiet, very unlike the other places he had been that were crawling around with people.
It was decided that Kakashi should start from the very basics and that once he got those children books down pat he should move on from there.
From the corner of Kakashi's eye there was a bright colour, or rather bright colours, pink, yellow, blue and orange, all had little red 'no entry' signs on them.
He went to pick out the orange book, the first volume. Kakashi knew what those books were, he had seen them enough times when Mizuki, who was suppose to give him exercise, had sat there with that book open.
He had heard from around his cage that it was called the 'Icha Icha Paradise' and that it was explicitly for adults, strictly H rated.
Kakashi flicked through the book and found many…interesting pictured. Kakashi grinned. "Iruka, I think I have found something~!"
Iruka came to his side, "oh? Let's have a look then."
Kakashi showed Iruka the front cover and Iruka blushed to the tips of his hair.
"No Kakashi you can't get that book, children's books remember? Something that has pictures-"
"It does have pictures." With that statement Kakashi opened to one of the illustrated pictures.
"Put that down, anything but that, Kakashi." Iruka scolded looking around to see if anybody was witnessing this humiliating event.
Kakashi put it down and plucked the hot pink one of the series out and thrust the book into Iruka's hands. "Okay then this one."
If Kakashi thought Iruka's face had been red, he was wrong, this was red.
"No not this book, it is part of the same series." Iruka scolded pushing the cook back to it's rightful place.
Inwardly Kakashi was cackling his head off at how flustered the elementary school teacher was getting.
"Well you did say any book but that orange one, nothing about getting another book of its series."
"I also did say we were looking for children's books and that most definitely not a children's book!"
Kakashi tried to feign innocence. "Then what type of book is it?"
"You don't fool me, you know exactly what type of book it is." Iruka bit back. Damn He had been found out.
Trying to recover his innocent façade Kakashi replied with, "If I did then why would I pick it out? I couldn't possibly read it."
Iruka had no come back to that, but did not look happy.
"Aww, don't look so sad Iruka, it was only a joke."
Iruka looked like he was going to kill Kakashi…
An onslaught of books suddenly came at Kakashi's way.
Kakashi was running for his life. The books wouldn't stop coming at him, Iruka kept chasing him and throwing impossible amounts of books at him, wait. Where did those books come from?
Ah, no time for that. He kept running, soon he slammed into someone, the someone did not look happy.
It was then Kakashi realised it was the store owner.
"GET OUT! GET OUT! YOU HOOLIGANS!" The store owner yelled and screamed at them.
Iruka and Kakashi began to sprint away, when they stopped they collapsed with laughter, with Kakashi supporting Iruka (barely). Soon they fell in a heap on the street bags around them.
A/N: Short chapter but I felt there was no need to write more. NEXT CHAPTER: Kakashi meets his neighbours and what's this? He is sick?
