Iruka woke with a start, unused to the empty room. He looked around, disappointed. "It really was just a dream." Iruka lowered his eyes and before he could stop himself, he felt a tear hit the sheets.
He stood and wiped his watering eyes. "No, no it's okay..."
He looked around and something shining in his eyes caught his attention. He went over and looked at it, it was a kunai...
A kunai!
It was all real!
And when he stepped into the kitchen he knew he was right. He pocketed the kunai thing and looked around.
He must have been hallucinating or something earlier, maybe he was just so shocked from last night he just wasn't sure if he wanted to believe it or not. But now, as he stared at the little silver box sitting on his counter, he knew that he hadn't been crazy that whole time.
Iruka faced the box and looked at it, the other three occupiers of the room looking at him. "Kakashi..." Iruka whispered just loud enough so only he - and possibly Kakashi - could hear it.
"Iruka..." Sakura said softly behind him.
He turned to face his friends, "we have to get him out!"
"Iruka we've been trying. Since you passed out we've been trying."
Iruka paused, "how long was I out?"
"Three days, I had to call in sick for you."
"Oh wow... uh thanks Sakura I better call my boss later then..."
They all stopped and stared at the box.
"So why is it silver? When we saw it at the warehouse I distinctly remember it being black."
"I've done some research," Iruka turned towards Tsunade, "and it shows that the color of the inhabitants wings become the color of the box. Otherwise no one would know who is in what box and anything could get released."
"How do we release Kakashi?" Iruka asked, somewhat impatiently, surprised at himself for being so demanding.
"A key."
Iruka face palmed, "what kind?"
"Whichever one fit's the keyhole, take a look." Iruka picked up the box - which felt warm to the touch - and saw a little black keyhole on the side. It was in the shape of a lightning bolt.
"Are the keys unique to the guardian type also?"
"I don't know why?"
"It's in the shape of a lightning bolt." Tsunade took the box out of Iruka's hands and looked at the keyhole.
"Maybe." was all she said after about ten minutes.
Iruka sighed and thought for a moment. "Wait, then does that mean when a new box is formed so is a key? Because it's seems pretty unique to my guardian. I mean come on, a lightning bolt? What are the odds of that happening more then once?"
Tsunade laid her head on the table. "Whatever, I might be able to think a little clearer if I had some sake..."
"No Tsunade, go buy some yourself" Iruka said, not even looking away from the box in his hands.
He heard Tsunade sigh audibly and choose to ignore it.
Iruka himself sighed once again and looked forlornly at the little silver box. Holding it, he noted it was a little bit bigger then his palm and it was almost like it was pulsing, like a heartbeat...
Iruka hugged the box. Why am I hugging a box? Is it because Kakashi is stuck inside it... yeah probably...
Iruka looked once more at the box and a sad smile adorned his face, which quickly became more confident with each passing second.
"I'm going to find that key, I don't care what it takes."
Tsunade's head shot up. "Do you have any idea how hard that's going to be? It could take mouths, maybe years! It may be lightning shaped but still, It would be like a suicide mission; pointless."
Iruka looked her square in the eye, "I have to try Tsunade. He's my guardian, a pain in the ass albeit, but still mine. Besides, they say it's impossible to find your guardian in the first place, well look where we are now."
Everyone in the room turned their heads to Iruka. Naruto spoke first, "does he really mean that much to you Iruka?"
He thought for a moment and smiled, "yeah. That bastard is pretty important to me, and I'd like to get him back."
"Alright! Enough sappy talk, let's get this search started! But first I'll need some sake." Everyone in the room groaned but Iruka got some out of his little 'Tsunade sake stash' and gave her a bottle.
"First, let's check back at the warehouse we were at yesterday."
Agreeing, the all piled into Iruka's little Subaru and off they went.
But before they actually left Tsunade just had to go back inside for another bottle since hers was already finished.
The warehouse was only about a mile from Iruka's hidden house and when they arrived everything was eerily quiet. He saw Sakura visibly shiver and he did so himself, and not just because it was getting cold out.
"Let's go!" Naruto began storming the place and the rest of them fallowed suit.
Inside it was just as creepy and awkward as it had been outside. The place was dark and just as dusty as before, the mess they had made was still present so they had to avoid the seemingly endless debris.
Iruka stared at the glowing silver box in his hands, he had decided to bring it along in case he really did find a key or something.
"Stop moping around and help with the search! It'll go all the faster and I can go home, the buzz from the sake is starting to wear off."
Everyone sighed and got to work, moving stuff around and looking for a little lightning shaped key. The search was fruitless, and after what seemed to be at least twenty minutes was actually eight hours, they took a rest.
"Man this will take forever! This warehouse it huge!" Naruto complained loudly and everyone agreed.
"We can't give up," Iruka said, slightly breathless.
"Yeah, Iruka is right. We have to get Iruka's angel back!" everyone looked at Sakura who had said nothing this whole journey up until that point.
"Yes," Iruka agreed, "we have to get that crazy man back."
Tsunade began to sit down, "Whatever! I'm beat so tell me- Ow!" Tsunade sat down heavily and instantly stood back up, hand on her back. "What the-! Something just stuck me in the back..."
Iruka looked in the place Tsunade just sat and he whole body shook with anticipation at the sight. There, wedged in the corner was a small metal-like object, about the size of a key.
Hastily he pulled it out but when he did, it shocked him, literally. The key was definitely lighting shaped and as he stepped closer to look at it, it was almost surreal. He went to go pick it up again only to be shocked.
"I found it but... I can't pick it up." He announced to the others, who came flying over to the spot he was standing at.
Suddenly, he remembered something, "Tsunade! You bumped into but it didn't shock you! You can pick it up and free Kakashi!"
"Hmm, I guess I can. But first, I'll need the box."
Iruka raised an eyebrow and slowly handed it over, "Ok, I don't see why you need it first but - Ahh!"
Iruka was suddenly pushed back and he landed flat on his back. He looked up and saw Tsunade in a black halo of light at her feet and wind sweeping around in all directions.
"T-Tsunade?"
"I can't believe you were stupid enough to believe I'm your 'precious' Tsunade! Ha, you're the worst," The creature in the circle revealed itself to be a male demon with white wings dripping with silver and eager magenta eyes.
"I can touch it because only demons and angels can touch a key made by a container!"
Iruka leapt out of the way as a large tri-bladed scathe came swinging at him from out of nowhere. The demon swung it back and forth, attempting to hit one of them but never actually leaving his little circle.
Iruka dared to ask as he parried yet another attack, "So where's your human huh? Or is he dead?"
"What Kakuzu? Eh that bastards probably off stealing somewhere! Left me to do the dirty work, but that just fine. I like getting down and dirty with a fight."
He saw Sakura jump away from an attack and Naruto tried to send this little thing he called a rasengan at him but failed when he was brutally kicked in the chest and knocked backwards into a pile of something dusty and that was the last straw for Iruka.
He took a step back and was ready for whatever was to come when something moved against his leg. He reached for it and pulled out the still bloody kunai he had found lying on his dresser that morning.
He looked up, aimed, and threw the kunai.
WA HA! Oh by the way DISCLAIMER: NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING *inhales* NOTHING!
Since I forgot to put it up there. *looks into sky* no not there!
