Thing's Happen
Chapter 8
Iruka woke to knocking on his door. Rolling over, he flung his covers off and dragged himself to his door. Upon opening it, Iruka saw Konan standing in front of him with a rose in her hand.
"For you." she said, handing Iruka the flower.
Iruka's half shut eyes opened widely as he took the flower from Konan.
"W-what for?" he stammered.
"Because of what you said last night. It was very brave of you to say that to Nagato. Not many people would stand up to him and say.. well, they won't say anything. Nagato kinda scares people. But you... oh, you were so brave."
I didn't know this chick was so cheerful. Nor did I realize she was so beautiful. Iruka blushed and toed the ground with his bare foot. Konan smiled and hugged him.
Holy cow, she's strong too! Iruka wrapped his arms around Konan carefully and patted her back.
"Ah.. ha, yeah. Thank you for the flower. It's.. beautiful. And not made of paper!"
Konan laughed and Iruka had to blink twice to make sure her laugh was real. It sounded so.. perfect. Like the tinkling of a bell; not loud, not too soft, it reminded him of little lambs frolicking through a meadow. Simply perfect.
Iruka smiled. Maybe this is the start of a new friendship, he thought as Konan waved goodbye to him and headed off to do her daily duties. Iruka closed his door and started to get dressed for the say.
A couple of hours later Iruka stepped into his classroom only to find it empty. The hell? Where is that loony Tubby? Sighing, he went up to his desk, got out the days lesson plans and waited.
Within three minutes Iruka heard Tobi running down the hall, screaming at the top of his lungs.
"AAAAH. SEMPAI! I DIDN'T DO IT! I swear it was ZETZU."
"YOU SAID THAT LAST TIME!"
Iruka braced himself. He had been there long enough to know when Deidara got mad something blew up. He was right. And usually, that thing blowing up was Tobi's ass.
BAANG!
Iruka heard Deidara chuckling. "Why don't that leaf ninja teach you that art is a bang and I'm the banger?"
By now Iruka could see Tobi and Deidara. Tobi perked his head up and said, "Who did you bang, Sempai?"
Oh crap. Iruka thought and braced himself again, but nothing exploded.
"Actually, I banged Konan." Deidara said slowly.
Tobi's one visable eye grew wide. "When?"
"This morning."
Tobi grew silent while Iruka's mouth dropped open. B-ut she.. And he.. and this morning.. and flowers.. Oh my word!
Suddenly a voice cut through the silence.
"You did what, Deidara-chan?"
It was Konan.
