Chapter 6

A.N. Did I give the idea that Hidan is back? :D Sorry, I didn't mean to. I just thought it would be funny to mention him. Two too separate things together. And just wanted to see Kakashi's face. (ok, not exactly crazy here, but, well, he's in my mind, writhing with love. Hmm, not good words, huh? :D) So I'd love to hear your comments about it, and you can request things you know, I'd love to add things to my story, like if you'd like something with Hidan, just ask! :D All the other things too. And OCs too if you want. –of course it won't exactly change the outcome, not the big storyline but can add a few extra chapters. =)

Hard. Cold. Dry. Although it resembled his known personality, those were the words to describe where he woke up. Trying to get up, the pain through his sore back jolted him awake and he started remembering how he ended up here. (A.N. Just realized I didn't make it clear, sorry, he was on a high tree branch when the mist jutsu was used.-and he tried to jump from a high tree, so…)

"Damn!" He jumped remembering the last thing he saw and moaned from the pain. He probably had a broken rib or two. He was lucky he was still breathing, those broken bones could've ended up in his lungs and there was still a chance for that. He knew he shouldn't be moving around much but he was never really the person to hang around in the hospitals.

As he tried to walk, a jolt of pain ran through his leg. He bent down and touched it lightly. No, it wasn't broken, his angle was twisted.

Kakashi heard Kotetsu calling for Izumo and he sent some chakra down his feet and jumped towards the voice in order to get there with one movement but when he landed in front of the spiky haired chuunin, he couldn't find his balance and hit the ground rolling. He ended up on his back and cringed from the pain of the broken ribs.

The said chuunin looked at the silver haired jounin cringing in pain. He opened his mouth to say something but he was cut.

"Kakashi-san! What the hell?"

A very worried Izumo entered the scene.

"I can't find Iruka! Shit!"

"What do you mean? He should be around. The bandits wouldn't have taken him."

The two ninjas looked at Kotetsu, wishing what he said was true.

"But the mist? That was not the work of some bandits. And their attack was planned too. They brought us to the best place the mist could hold."

Kotetsu's eyes went calculating for a second and then answered.

"Yes, in the forest, an opening! Damnit! But what the hell did they want?"

And a sudden thought accured to him.

"Was it the landlord's niece? Crap! Or have they taken the goods?"

"No, the client is safe and I haven't seen anything that indicated that the baggage was gone."

"So what was the meaning of the damn attack?"

"They took Iruka."

Kakashi spoke for the first time, drawing attention of the two younger men.

Izumo had already figured that out, but Kotetsu's eye size doubled and his lips parted.

"W-what! They took Iruka? But why! What village were they from? Damnit, we fell for their traps! And we call ourselves ninja! It took them one jutsu and we let them take our comrade! We've got to get him back! What if he's already…"

Izumo snapped.

"Shut up Kotetsu! We will get him back! You hear me! I'll find out which bastard took him and he will regret for messing with Iruka! I swear he will regret the day he's born if there's even a scratch on him!"

And he cursed for a few minutes.

Kakashi laid there waiting for the convoy to move, people to wake up. And he listened Izumo's swearing and watched Kotetsu's expression that indicated that he didn't even know some of the words and couldn't even imagine the things his friend was saying.

As soon as he heard every person in the convoy wake up, Kakashi stopped Izumo.

"Oi! We will get him back. But first you have to ask the lady how long till the next stop. I've got to get back to the village now, I'm useless this way, I can't run and use taijutsu, and one of you will have to accompany me since I can't walk properly. So go talk the lady, tell her everything and ask for permission. You cannot go anywhere without her consent. You're on a mission, remember?"

Izumo looked at him with surprised eyes, looked like he was going to protest, but he didn't say anything, nodded and left to the direction of the said lady.

Kakashi looked at Kotetsu, who looked worn out and in despair.

"Kotetsu! Help me get up, will you?"

Said chuunin helped him get up and the jounin leaned against a tree again cringing in pain.

"We need to inform Hokage-sama."

And he wrote something on a small piece of paper, nipped his thumb and flashed three hand signs for the summoning jutsu. A pug appared.

"Pakkun, take this to the sandaime."

"Are you okay boss?"

"And tell him to send the medics."

A.N. So, readers, careful. Please read this. From this point on, there are two ways to go. First way is normal, romantic and mostly sticking to the original Naruto. The other one will be different. I was thinking and decided I like badass Iruka and this story could contain one. But, as the name suggests, it's more about emotions and I might have some readers who probably have hopes to see that, so I'll continue with that storyline, as planned. But, I'll have the second way as a sequel (I guess) under another title. So, if you like romance and only romance with mostly Naruto original storyline, keep reading under this title. But if you'd like to try a badass Iruka, of course romance with Kakashi, but romantical tension maybe, some scandals(I guess) go ahead and enjoy my other story. And if you're like me, can go with romance and romance/adventure, like mystery and romantical tension and so on…(I think you got the point :D) but can settle for only romance and drama, you can read both of them! So, enjoy! –I don't know the new story's name yet but I only have one story published right now, so…Anyway, I'll announce it on the next chapter of this one I guess.

Ano, and I'll be posting the next chapter right after this one, so check before you leave, okay? :D
