Yes, the story isn't over just yet. Be-warned though, as the ending is just the tiniest angsty...hehehe

--------------------------------

Something's going on

I came to hand in my report and no Ruka

I know had a mission

But his team's back…

----------

Something's going on

Even Naruto knows it

It's Iruka I'm sure

Think I'll go try and extract some information…

----------

I don't believe it

His team-mates don't know where he is

Tell me Obito

How can you leave a friend behind…?

----------

So even Tsunade-sama is worried?

That's generally not a good thing

New mission is a retrieve huh?

I'm coming for you Ruka…

----------

Wow, he almost got me there

I can't afford to be distracted

Okay, play time's over

Let's get the mission going…

----------

Where are they

There isn't a trace anywhere

Come on nin-dogs

Don't fail me now...

----------

There, finally

It has to be that building

I can since three people inside

And pakkun smells Iruka inside…

----------

'creak,

cling,

tack'

Two more…

----------

"Don't move or he dies."

----------

He's got a kunai at you're throat

But I'm not too worried

I've seen worst scenes before me

And pulled through worst threats…

----------

"Sharingan"

----------

'Cling,

Tack,

Thud'

One more…

----------

'Cling,

Tack,

Thud'

Now you…

----------

Your chakra is nearly depleted

Luckily I still have some water

Come on drink up

We have to hurry…

----------

You're falling asleep

I have to do something

At this rate

You'll never make it…

----------

"Ruka… Iruka hold on, please just hold on. We're almost there."

----------

Maybe if I keep talking

You won't sleep

Maybe if I get you to talk

Everything will be better…

----------

"You should be proud of Naruto. He was the first to know something was wrong. He was so worried. Sasuke had to promise him an all you can eat ramen feast so he'd calm down."

----------

Good, you're smiling

Shit, you're pulse is slowing though

No, please, we're almost there

Please, don't you leave me too…

----------

"Iruka, stay with me please, I need you. IRUKA!"

Don't worry, one more chappy to go up...review at own risk
