Theme 15:Carols

Singing in the Streets

In the early hours (think still very dark out, not to long past midnight early) of the morning several shinobi stumbled toward the village with only one mission on their minds. At some point the pleasant evening of sitting by the bonfire and spending time with friends had become a drinking party. Iruka was fairly certain this had happened when the last of the younger nin's had been sent on their way and only the more senior chuunin and jounin remained, but it was all slightly fuzzy in his mind. Someone, after much intake of the common sense killing liquid called alcohol, had suggested that they take their merry making to the village in the form of caroling. There had been some brave souls that had tried to be the voices of reason but they had quickly been vanquished when the Hokage herself had deemed it a wonderful idea. Tsunade in all her glory, blonde hair flowing for once free of its customary pigtails and green coat billowing around her, lead the small army of ninja toward the village. Inebriated as they may be none where foolish enough to take to the trees, small groups and pairs had formed as the staggered along leaning on each other for supports or stumbling along from tree to tree, a very, very select few (Asuma, Gai, Tsunade) managed along on their own will. A force of ANBU ghosted along with the group, it wasn't often that the leaf-nins drank to this extent and it was even less often this many did at once. Tsunade had started up into song almost immediately and most of the shinobi present had along with her. Some like Kakashi who rarely if ever drank and Iruka who had had far more then he usually did could only laugh and try to focus on simply walking , saving all thought of singing for when they reached the village.

It didn't take the group long to reach Konoha's gates, two rather nervous looking chuunin and a jounin at the gates tried to get them to quiet down before entering the village. Tsunade in an over exaggerated fashion shushed her following giving them a wink before turning to smile kindly at the gates guards. Snickering could be heard passing through the gathering their ANBU guards only shook there heads in resignation it was going to be a long night. Already the ANBU were taking turns at returning the some of the more complacent ( or passed out) nins to their homes. The guards at the gate believing they had quieted the crowd let them pass. Moments after passing the gates the singing started, loudly. Had the caroling accrued at normal hours for such things it may have been more appreciated many of the nin actually had very nice, albeit slurred, singing voices.

Kurenai had left earlier the prior evening having a mission the next day leaving Asuma to stay and keep an eye on his motley crew. Leaning heavily against the large burly man who had an unlit cigarette tucked between his lips, was Kakashi on one side holding Iruka around his waist who in turn was supporting Izumo and Kotetsu on their way. On Asuma's other side leaned Genma, who had thankfully lost his senbon along the way, supporting Raidou who supported Anko. They made their way through the village picking up the rear of the larger group all singing as loudly as they could especially Gai, who was walking slightly ahead of the rest blinding smile in place and occasionally turning to speak of the wonders of the youthfulness of the season. Lights came on in houses and apartments in the civilian part of town as people were awakened from their slumber. Muttering about crazy ninja and crazier Hokage's the villages people tried to ignore the joyful merry making traveling through their streets. As the night wore on more and more of the revelers where ghosted away by ANBU, especially when after a quick stop at Tsunade's office, drinks where passed around once more. Asuma's little group lost Izumo and Kotetsu during this second bout of drinks.

Yamato was on duty that night dressed in black tank and pants covered by the sleek white armor of the ANBU, porcelain cat mask snug over his face. He had hung towards the back watching his friends, and waiting for Asuma's signal to take them home. A small flick of the jounin's fingers toward Kakashi and Iruka did not go unnoticed by the Cat, he quickly moved forward slipping in-between the pale jounin and tanned chuunin, freeing Asuma of two more charges the rest of whom seemed to still be going strong.

"Kakashi-senpai, Iruka-sensei don't you think its about time you two headed home?" Yamato asked startling both men who just stared at him for a moment stunned out of their singing.

"Yamato are you coming singing too?" Kakashi asked in a hushed slurred conspirator whisper. Iruka deciding that Kakashi was taking care of things returned to his happy caroling. Shaking his head and trying to keep the two stumbling men balanced, Yamato began to walk along singing carols softly along with them detouring from the groups when they got near the street that lead to Iruka's apartment. Luck was on the sober mans side and it took very little time to reach the apartment. His charges still singing carols as they went up the steps to Iruka's door. Getting both men to stand on their own was a trial but somehow he managed, slipping the keys from Iruka's pocket at the same time. Swinging the door open Yamato ushered the two men in planning on getting Iruka into bed before taking Kakashi home. Yamato stood over the two as they both sat on the floor trying to remove each others boots, giggling madly at each others inability to untie a shoe lace. Removing his mask and setting it on the table by the door Yamato, finally give up on them ever getting off their shoes, leaned down and swiftly unties the laces and loosened them enough that they could manage before heading toward what he thought was the kitchen to find some tree and medicine for the headache Iruka would have in the morning. Returning moments later he found that they had managed to get their boots off and Iruka was out of his vest and hitae-ate.

"Kakashi-senpai come on we need to get you home." Yamato reached out to grab the jounin's arm and steer him towards the door figuring Iruka was ok on his own now. Just as his fingers were about to close on a black clothed arm Kakashi was snatched out of his reach, with speed he hadn't expected. Stunned the ANBU watched as Iruka hugged the stunned jounin close to him, swaying back and falling against the nearby wall.

"Mine" was all the chuunin said long brown hair falling around his shoulders, as the band holding it finally slipped loose, dark eyes narrowed in suspicion. The startled ANBU raised his hands in a placating manner.

"Alright Iruka-sensei, your right he's yours I was only taking him home so he could sleep." He talked soothingly, a drunk unpredictably ninja could be a very dangerous opponent.

"Maa…sensei, Yamato just wants to go singing." Kakashi slurred absently nuzzling the warm tan neck before him. "Don't you Yamato? But it was mean to want to leave Iruka behind."

Feeling fairly certain that that last bit had not helped the situation, Yamato made the intelligent decision that he had overstayed his welcome and it really did matter if Kakashi slept here, since he was obviously very welcome too. Backing away slowly Yamato gave the two a wave and quickly slipped through the door.

"Mine" Iruka repeated once more reaching up to pull the jounin's mask down and pressing his lips against the ones that had been hidden. Eagerly lips parted inviting the exploring tongue, the kiss was sloppy but filled with passion. Enthusiastic hands reached to remove the pale mans hitae-ate and then moved on to the vest. Half -gloved hands tangled in hair, a growl of frustration against Kakashi's lips gave him pause. Pulling away a bit only to see a kunai swipe down before his eyes dangerously close to his chest, the sound of tearing fabric following in its wake. Remembering to breath Kakashi looked up in shock at Iruka.

"What?" the teacher asked.

"This is my favorite vest, the pocket is perfectly molded to my Icha Icha." Kakashi's bottom lip set into a childish pout, forgetting almost instantly the danger of the moment before.

"I'm sorry Kashi-kun, let me make it up to you." Iruka pushed himself away from the wall and pulling his lover behind him, both staggered into the bedroom.

Only moonlight lit the room and Iruka had to admire the unearthly glow of Kakashi's skin and silver hair against his dark clothing in this natural light. Grabbing his slender waist Iruka fell back onto the bed pulling his lover with him, hesitant touches and light kisses followed as the two lay in the bed together enjoying the warmth of each others bodies, letting their need for each other build up. Slowly caress grew into groping touches as clothing was shed shirts, pouches, and pants thrown onto the floor around them uncaring to where they would land only knowing they needed more contact. There was no elegance to this dance only a primal need for release. Dark and light met as they tangled together kissing and nipping, nuzzling and rubbing, boxers still putting a clothe barrier between them. Kakashi submissiveness didn't surprise the chuunin to much, from the times they had kissed and the Incident he had known he would be able to take charge, which he did readily. Dominating every fiery kiss, and rolling them over so that his body was set between strong legs, his hardness evident as he pushed against Kakashi. What surprised the chuunin was that Kakashi was a pleasantly vocal lover, soft moans and wonderful gasps delighted the teacher immensely. A soft whimper when he pulled away, a sigh when he pressed his body against him again, a deep moan when he bit at his long neck and then lapping at it to soothe the sting, each little sound was music to Iruka. A pale hand snaked its way down reaching into binding boxers to grasp Iruka causing him to gasp he looked deeply into mismatched eyes as Kakashi began to slowly stroke his hardened member. Reaching between them Iruka mimicked Kakashi's own actions grinning wickedly as Kakashi's eyes hooded, body arching up into his touch. Subconsciously Kakashi quickened his strokes, Iruka mimicked him again; breathes coming from both men at a ragged pace. Calloused thumbs flickered over the shafts tips, fondling and tantalize, each keeping pace although not sure who was setting it anymore. Muscles tightened, each close to their release, mouths crashing together for a final kiss, teeth clicking as lips and tongues collided and bodies let go of all tension; coming together on Kakashi's bare stomach. Iruka sagged over Kakashi barely able to keep his weight up, he took a moment to steady himself before slowly descending down the hard body beneath him. Grinning up at his lovers questioning look, he took a long swipe across Kakashi's stomach tasting their essence, sweat and the faint tinge of alcohol. Slowly he lapped up the mess they had made on the older mans stomach, grinning more with each shudder that passed through the jounin. Crawling up beside Kakashi and pulling him close he kissed him softly letting the jounin taste them on his tongue. They lay in content, legs tangled together, silver and brown hair mixing on one pillow where they nestled their heads together. Slipping into sleep, the sounds of the carolers passing by their window sending them off into the sandman's realm.

The sound of clicking on the window awoke the two men who had been peacefully slumbering the day away after their long night. Opening the curtain Iruka found the Hokage's falcon sitting on his windowsill.

"I have to go." Kakashi was suddenly very awake and already getting dressed by the time Iruka had turned to look away from the bird to his lover. Knowing that this could only mean a high ranking mission for the silver haired jounin Iruka grabbed the man into a tight embrace.

"Be careful." Kissing him on the cheek he released him and sat on his bed while Kakashi finished dressing watching as he made the hand seals to teleport to the Hokage's tower.
