"I"m sorry guys I really screwed things up if I wasn't so sensitive this wouldn't have happened." Kakashi murmured quietly, picking at a loose piece of thread from the bed sheet. He really hoped he hadn't ruined his chance with the gorgeous brunette. When Lady Tsunade had told the village that three submissive males were going to be given to them they had been more than happy, many alphas had been interested in taking one of the three as their mate, but Tsunade had chosen wisely and had picked not just the better suited but the most trustworthy and loyal to the village. Kakashi gave a small smile as he remembered receiving the news along side Genma and Kotetsu, that they had been chosen to court the three new submissive males. They had been told to keep a close eye on them and make sure no one tried to interfere with their courting attempts. If there was one thing to look out for it was the traitors that lived alongside them acting innocent but were really trying their hardest to weaken the village from within. Lady Tsunade already suspected a few villagers but didn't have proof to convect them as traitors, but she knew they were spies from the sound pack.

"I wish we had never been infected." Kotetsu growled, grabbing a pillow ,in frustration, and trying his hardest not to rip it to shreds.
"It really makes it harder for us and the village." Genma sighed looking up at the ceiling deep in thought.

Sasuke frowned as he looked at the older alpha's in front of him, they seemed to be getting all depressed just thinking about their tainted blood. He had still been a pup when Kakashi had adopted Naruto and him, Kakashi and Lady Tsunade had told them certain things about what had happened to Kakashi, Kotetsu, Genma and the others on the day but not the whole story.

"You guys should stop mopeing already, you have a long day tommorrow." Sasuke said waiting for them to go and get some rest.
"He's right Kakashi we should get some sleep. I'm sure this well get cleared up." Genma said stretching and standing up.
"Come on Kakashi." Kotetsu said giving him a slight nudge.
"Tsunade is going to end up telling them everything." Kakashi sighed running a hand through his silver hair "I hope they understand our situation and don't decide to run off on us."
"Hey if they to that we'll just have to drag them back here and woo them with our good looks and sexiness." Genma said cheekily, then glaring at Sasuke for saying sure in a sarcastic tone.
"You know I just realized something Naruto hasn't woken up." Koestsu said sounding amazed at the blond's ability to sleep through all the yelling that had
been going on.
"Naruto can sleep through anything." Sasuke commented thinking of the blond fast asleep clueless about the things that were happening around him.
"Well guys lets get to bed we have to get up early tomorrow" Genma said as they made their way out of Iruka's room and into their own ones.
Unknown to them Naruto had been awakw and listening in on their conversation...

----

Naruto climbed out of bed and made his way to his door, he had been awake since Genma had told Kotetsu and Sasuke what Kakashi had done to Iruka. He Carefully peeked his head out the door, making sure no was in the hallway, before he quietly made his way down the stairs. He knew how much Kakashi was affected by the infection and although he didn't know Iruka that much he already liked the guy and Kakashi seemed to be really into him. Naruto didn't want his step father, to be lonely anymore, the few females and submissive males that were still single Kakashi had never shown an interest in them like he had with Iruka. I'll just have to talk to Iruka and the others Naruto thought as he knocked on Izumo's door ready to beg Iruka to give the Kakashi another chance.

----

"Iruka I'm going to ask you this one last time." Radiou said "Are you sure you want to wait until tomorrow to talk to Lady Tsunade."
Iruka gave a tired sigh, they had been at this for a while "Radiou for the last time Yes I'm sure!"
"Come on guys don't start fighting now." Izumo groaned already getting annoyed with them going back and forth, Radiou asking Iruka if he was sure and Iruka saying yes.
"Izumo will you stay out of this, why don't you back to being all lovey dovey with Kotetsu." Radiou snapped.
"Hey at least I'm getting along with him , unlike you and Genma, so far you've been a complete jerk to the poor guy!" Izumo snapped back.
"Iruka put his head in his hands, these two were starting to give him a major headache with their bickering and the fact that the side of his neck was hurting didn't help. "Well you two stop it already!" Iruka yelled glaring at them.
Both Izumo and Radiou turned to snap at Iruka but were stoppped by a knock on the door.

----

Radiou stood up and walked to the door expecting to see Kakashi, Genma, Kotetsu or even Sasuke on the other side but he was surprised to see Naruto.
"Can I talk with Iruka?" Naruto asked.
Radiou simply lifted an eyebrow in question and turned to the other tow in the room.
"Iruka, Naruto wants to talk with you."
"Let him in."
"Come on then." Radiou said moving to the side to let Naruto in.
"So what do you need, Naruto?" Iruka asked giving him a kind smile, there was no reason to be mad at Naruto.

Iruka looked at Iruka and saw the large bruise on the side of his neck were Kakashi had bitten him, he winced, it looked painful. Without looking at Radiou or Izumo, Naruto climbed onto the bed and settled himself right in front of Iruka, giving a him a small smile before gently setting a hand on the bite mark. Iruka was surprised when Naruto settled himself right in front of him, he gave Izumo and Radiou a questioning look before returning his gaze to the blond, and was startled when Naruto suddenly rested a hand on his neck. Radiou and Izumo were about to pull the blond away when they saw Iruka flinch at the contact but stopped when Iruka gave them a look.

"Naruto" Iruka said queitly "What are you doing?"
"Does it hurt?" Naruto asked sounding worried.
Iruka blinked and glanced at Radiou and Izumo once again in confusion before answering.
"A little but it's more of a tingle, it doesn't really hurt."

Naruto slowly and gently removed his hand and gave Iruka a pleading look.
"Please forgive Kakashi, I'm begging you I never seen him so happy and he really likes you! He can be kind of lazy and a perv but he's a nice guy, please give him another chance."
He really loved Kakashi, he had done so much for Sasuke and him and it wasn't his fault that he had lost control like that. It was really to much for Naruto to handle, he remembered all those times Kakashi had come home depressed, trying to hide the fact that he was miserable, not having anyone to love him the way he needed to be loved. Kakashi of course had Sasuke and him, and they loved him dearly but they could never give him the love he needed. Kakashi needed someone he could come home to, someone to call his won, to stay by his side, to share his bed with. What Kakashi needed was a mate and not one of those slutty one night stands where he would wake up alone. Iruka was the solution, he was the perfect mate for Kakashi, from what Naruto had seen Iruka could handle Kakashi's perverted and lazy ways. He turned to look at both Radiou and Izumo.

"Kotetsu and Genma really like you two. Why can't you guys give them a chance."

"Naruto it's not that simple." Iruka said feeling bad for making Naruto so sad.
"You don't understand! Kakashi would never have done that if it wasn't for..."Naruto quickly became silent he had almost told them.
"If it wasn't for what?" Radiou asked narrowing his eyes, was it just him or did blond seem rather nervous.
"I can't tell you." Naruto murmured quietly not meeting their eyes.
"Why not?" Izumo asked sounding curious.
"It's not my secret to tell." Naruto answered simply still not making eye contact.
"Naruto, does it have to do with the strange sent Kakashi and the others have and why those houses in the entrance haven't been rebuilt?" Iruka asked.
Naruto just gave a small nod, he wanted to tell them the truth but he had couldn't, he had already said to much as it was.
"Naruto if you want Iruka to consider giving Kakashi a chance and Radiou and I to give Kotetsu and Genma an opportunity to court us then need to know what's
going on." Izumo said, trying to get Naruto into telling them.

Naruto just bite his lip, this wasn't how he had planned things, all he had wanted to do was ask Iruka and the others to give the guys a chance and now he
had almost told them about the incident. Iruka saw the worried look on Naruto face and couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
"Naruto we're going early tomorrow morning to speak to Lady Tsunade about what happened today if we asked her about this...secret... will she tell us?"

"Yes"
