KakaIru-IsMyWorld

Kakashi transported himself inside Iruka's apartment. Quietly, he walked towards Iruka's bedroom. Before he could fully go in, he opened the door silently and peeked in. He saw Iruka opening a drawer in his room and slowly pulling out a shirt. He looked saddened as he pulled the shirt over his head and almost weakly, tried to put it down the rest of the way. It hurt Kakashi to see this.

Iruka was a bit startled when he felt a pair of hands grab the bottom of his shirt and pull it down the rest of the way. Then he felt a warm breath near his right ear.

"I actually prefer it off, but that might be too soon for me to suggest, eh, Iruka-sensei?" Kakashi whispered in his ear.

Iruka jumped in surprise and away from Kakashi. He turned to face Kakashi, clearly shocked. "Kakashi-san! What are you–"

"I think we've known each other long enough for us to not use formalities anymore. Or, correction, you've known me long enough, I just wasn't aware of it." Kakashi didn't sound annoyed, he just stared at Iruka, waiting for answers.

'Please tell me what was going on, Iruka. Please. I have to know.'

Iruka flinched and bowed his head in shame. Kakashi frowned. He didn't like that he made Iruka sad like that. It hurt him inside, a lot. He sat down on Iruka's bed and patted the side beside him. Iruka, understanding what Kakashi wanted, reluctantly walked to him and sat beside him, keeping a good amount of distance away.

Kakashi waited patiently for Iruka to explain. Iruka took a deep breath, remembering Sasuke's words, and decided to get this over with.

"Is there anything you'd like to ask first?" Iruka looked at the floor nervously, not entirely sure how to start. He figured it'd be best like this.

Kakashi shook his head. "My questions can come later. Just...start from the beginning."

Iruka nodded and explained. He told Kakashi about Naruto performing the jutsu on him, him finding out he was turned into a dog, Naruto taking him to live with Kakashi, and then everything that happened afterwards. Kakashi listened, nodding from time to time, his eyes fixed on Iruka's.

"...and that's when I woke up and left your apartment." Iruka finished. Done, he waited for Kakashi's reaction, automatically expecting the worse. He prepared himself, waiting for his heart to shatter into tiny, little crushing pieces.

Kakashi didn't say anything, he just kept staring at Iruka, who was starting to fidget under his gaze.

"So..." Kakashi started, making Iruka's hair in the back of his neck stand in fear, "You've basically lived with me, this whole time, learned almost everything about me, learned my secrets, and you've seen me behind my mask...all because Naruto wanted to get us together?"

Slowly, Iruka nodded.

Kakashi smirked behind his mask, and murmured, "Let's see if it was worth it." loudly, he said, "Iruka?"

Iruka gave a slight jump. "Yes?" Iruka's voice was soft, hesitant.

"Do you love me?"

Iruka was taken aback by the question, but he nodded anyway, "Yes, I do." He knew he loved him. There was no doubt in his mind about it.

Kakashi didn't see any in his eyes or hear any in his voice, either. Pleased, he smirked. "Well then, I'll have to thank Naruto later, but for now…" he grabbed Iruka by the arm and pulled Iruka to him, wrapping his arms around the smaller man.

Iruka gasped as he was pulled flush against Kakashi's body. He didn't dare move. "Kakashi...? You're not, mad?" he asked, wrapping his arms tightly around Kakashi.

Kakashi chuckled against Iruka. "I'm surprised, but not mad. I can see why you would keep that a secret and stay in that dog form to get to know me better…although I would have preferred it if you had done it as a human." he grinned. He felt Iruka flinch and bury his head more into Kakashi's crook on his neck.

"'m sorry.." Iruka mumbled, hugging Kakashi.

"It's okay, Ru..." he blinked. "Well I can't call you that, now can I? Though, now that I think about it, for a genius, I'm an idiot. The scar across the nose, the brown eyes, I should have at least suspected–"

"It's kind of hard to even imagine that I was turned into a dog, Kakashi." Iruka pointed out with a grin.

Kakashi chuckled. "True, but there were obvious signs." he laid back so that his back hit the bed and Iruka would lay on top of him with his head on Kakashi's chest. Kakashi continued to hold him, softly stroking Iruka's back, grinning to himself; he couldn't believe this was real.

"So, since I can't call you Ru, how does Ru-Ru sound?" Kakashi offered with a grin.

"Depends. How do you feel for Shishi?" Iruka retorted, grinning despite himself.

"It could work."

Iruka laughed. "Anything else?" He felt so happy.

"Not really, my Ruka." 'My Ruka...mine.'

Iruka blushed and nuzzled Kakashi's chest. "Thank you so much for not hating me, Kashi."

"Hate you? Impossible. How can you hate the one you love, hmm?"

Iruka smiled, Kakashi's comment making him feel even better. "I don't know..." he blushed, "You know Kashi...there was another part to why I turned human after I kissed you."

"Oh? And what was that?" 'He kissed me in his dog form. That must've looked funny.' Kakashi thought with a chuckle.

Iruka blushed and sighed happily. "The only reason that worked was because, according to the scroll, if I kissed someone I love, and that person loved me back, I would turn back to my human form." he said, looking into Kakashi's eye.

Kakashi was quiet for a moment, letting what Iruka said register. He grinned. "That's a bit cheesy."

"Shut up! It's cute!"

"But cheesy. You have to admit that."

Iruka blushed and glared at Kakashi. "So what if it's cheesy? I like it." He pouted.

Kakashi laughed. "Nothing's wrong with it, I'm just saying it's cheesy. And you're adorable when you pout." Iruka just pouted even more. Kakashi smiled. "Oh, Iruka..."

Iruka perked up. "Yes, Kashi?"

"You seem to owe me something..." Kakashi drawled in a low, tone, grinning all the while.

Iruka looked at him in confusion. "I do?"

"Yes...you do.. You enjoyed something that I have yet to myself." The man was leering.

Iruka raised an eyebrow.

"What?" he asked, then yelped when Kakashi yanked down his mask and suddenly grabbed the hem of his shirt, pulled him forward, and pressed his soft lips to Kakashi's own.

Iruka was taken aback, but then was quick to respond to the kiss. Kakashi smiled at Iruka's enthusiasm, and returned it ten fold. Kakashi rolled Iruka over so that he was now on top, and Iruka grabbed the back of his head and pulled him closer, deepening the kiss. Iruka combed his hand through Kakashi's hair. Kakashi let out a low moan of approval and continued to kiss Iruka.

After awhile, Kakashi was thoroughly enjoying the kiss,...but then something surprised him, causing him to jump off of Iruka, shouting, "WHAT THE FUCK?!"

Iruka was startled and sat up, confused. 'Did I do something wrong?' Iruka bit his lip and then asked, "Kakashi? What's wrong?" He watched the shocked expression on Kakashi's face as he looked around the bedroom almost frantically.

"S-something wrapped itself around my waist! And I know it wasn't your arm or anything 'cause it was furry." he looked around in panic.

Iruka stared at Kakashi. "Furry? Kakashi, are you sure...?" Iruka asked hesitantly, wondering if maybe Kakashi lost it.

Kakashi nodded. "Yes! I'm positive. I swear it was on the be-" Kakashi gaped at Iruka.

Iruka looked nervously at Kakashi. "What? What is it, Kakashi?" Why the hell was he staring at him like that?

Kakashi didn't say anything, just stared in shock.

Iruka was now beyond nervous and shrinking back a little. "Kakashi..?" What the hell was Kakashi staring at?!

Slowly, very slowly, Kakashi lifted his index finger and pointed at Iruka. "Y-yo-you have...a...tail..." Kakashi said with wide eyes.

A tail? He quickly looked down and saw a long, smooth, furry brown dog tail, swishing slowly. Iruka yelped in surprise and grabbed the tail, and looked frantically behind him.

"I HAVE A TAIL?!??"

Kakashi numbly nodded and pointed to the top of Iruka's head. "And ears, too..."

"WHAT?!" Iruka brought his hands up and felt long dog ears on his head. "...NARUTO!!!!!!" Iruka shouted in rage. "Argh, I'm going to have to go to Naruto's and see what the hell this is." Iruka stated, standing up. Before he could get anywhere though, he was suddenly pounced and pinned to the bed. With a little 'omf', Iruka stared up at Kakashi's eyes, confused and surprised.

"Kakashi..?" Iruka asked a bit breathlessly.

Kakashi smirked down at his chunin. "Before we go to Naruto on the matter of the tail...why not have some fun with it first?" he bent his head and nibbled on the brown dog ears. "And the ears, too?" he grinned suggestively.

Iruka blushed furiously and shivered. Before he could protest or say anything, Kakashi had pressed his lips, hard, to Iruka's, making sure to cut out anything Iruka could say...

Naruto read through the scroll, and then, after a few moments, finally spoke. "The tail and ears are side effects." Naruto explained as he looked up from the scroll to look at Iruka and Kakashi in front of him. He, Sasuke, Iruka, and Kakashi were in the room where Naruto had found the scroll, Kakashi standing beside Iruka with a possessive arm around Iruka's waist while Iruka stood there, his tail swishing slowly behind, and his ears were flattened down on his head. Sasuke stood behind Naruto, trying to read over his shoulder.

Worriedly, Iruka asked, "Are there any other side effects?"

Kakashi threw in, "And how long will Ruka-koi keep the tail?" he asked with a perverted smile.

Iruka growled and slapped Kakashi behind the head. "Kakashi!" Iruka glared at silver haired Jounin as said Jounin rubbed the back of his head with a sheepish grin.

Naruto, deciding he rather not ask, looked back at the scroll. "Uhh...side effects may include, growing animal features of the animal selected, such as tail and ears, possibly paws," Iruka looked at this hands and sighed in relief. "Headaches, drowsiness,--" Kakashi cut in with a murmur of, "he wasn't showing any drowsiness last night.." which made Iruka slap him again, "–animal behavior, stuff like that... nothing serious." Naruto said after closing the scroll.

Kakashi looked questioningly at Naruto. "You have yet to answer my question: how long will Ruka-koi keep the tail?" Iruka blushed and growled at Kakashi, Kakashi just grinned and pulled Iruka close to him.

Naruto opened the scroll again and checked. "It says 1 week."

"1 week? Hmm..that's not bad..."

Iruka glared at Kakashi. "Not bad? Not bad for you!"

Kakashi grinned lecherously. "Definitely not bad for me." he chuckled at the brilliant blush on Iruka's face. 'So, cute!' Kakashi thought. He looked at Naruto and asked, "You said 'animal features of the animal selected' for the side effects... what did that mean?"

Naruto laughed when he remembered. "Oh, right, see, to perform the jutsu, we had to decide what animal Iruka was to be turned into. The choices were: a monkey, a chinchilla, a dog, or a kitten. We thought kitten suited him more, but, since you're a dog kind of person, Sasu-chan and I decided dog would be better."

Kakashi placed a hand to his chin. "Hmm...yes, Ruka-koi has more of a cat kind of personality, not a dog's." he chuckled. "He even purred yesterday when I nipped at his–omf!" Kakashi was elbowed in the stomach by Iruka.

Iruka blushed and glared at Kakashi. Kakashi was looked pathetically at Iruka, who rolled his eyes and turned his attention back to Naruto. "How am I supposed to hide my ears and tail, Naruto?! For a week?!"

Naruto looked at Sasuke for help. Sasuke shrugged and answered, "Just stay home for another week. Everyone thinks you're on a mission. Another week won't do any harm." He didn't really care. He'd kill to have a week vacation. Well, he technically has a 9 months vacation so he shouldn't be complaining but still.

Kakashi nodded. "That's great advice. Thanks boys, we'll be on our way." And with that, Kakashi grabbed Iruka's hand, ignoring Iruka's protests, and transported them out of Sasuke's and Naruto's home, and into Kakashi's apartment.

Iruka cleared some of the cloud of smoke with his tail, and then felt himself pulled flushed against Kakashi's body. Iruka smiled and wrapped his arms around Kakashi's neck. Kakashi bent his head and kissed Iruka's neck, then nuzzled it.

"Did you hear that, Ruka? A whole week, just you and me, no missions, no Academy students to attend, no paper works to do... just you and me. Sounds like your lucky week, eh?" Kakashi asked with a grin, purring and nuzzling Iruka's neck.

Iruka snorted, and nipped quickly at Kakashi's shoulder. "You mean your lucky week, not mine." Iruka corrected, licking the spot where he nipped.

Kakashi winced at the pain but did not protest. "Hmm...you're right, seeing as I have yet to learn as much about you as you learned about me, since someone has been living with me with me being unaware of it..."

Iruka flinched, guilt quickly entering his body. "Yeah, well, from all the 'information' you know about me, due to stalking–I don't care what you call it, it's stalking–we're pretty much even." Iruka defended, pouting.

Kakashi glanced up and when he saw Iruka's pouting lips, he grinned and kissed them. "Well, if you weren't turned into a dog and secretly living with me, you wouldn't have found out all that 'information' I know."

Iruka laughed. "That's supposed to make it unfair on my part?"

"It's supposed to make you say, 'you're right, Kashi-koi'."

Iruka shook his head, chuckling, as he kissed Kakashi once more. "You're an idiot..." he mumbled affectionately.

Kakashi buried his face in the crook of Iruka's neck. "But you still love me?" his voice suggested a tease, but Iruka could hear a hint of uncertainty.

He smiled assuring. "Of course I do. That's one of your 'loveable' traits." Iruka said, wrapping his tail around Kakashi's waist.

Kakashi grinned, happy that he was sure Iruka really loved him, and whispered in Iruka's ear, "I really like your tail…especially wrapped around my waist like that..." he moved his head up and gently bit Iruka's dog ear. "And your ears. They're so soft.."

Iruka blushed and grumbled, "Don't get used to them..." he warned, half heartily glaring at Kakashi.

Kakashi chuckled. "Fine, I won't...I'll just take advantage of them while I still have them."

Iruka blushed even brighter and kept his eyes narrowed at Kakashi. "And what is that supposed to mean?"

"This." he pounced Iruka onto the bed.

Iruka, pinned to the bed, grinned up at Kakashi. "This?" Iruka asked, then licked Kakashi's lips.

Kakashi shivered and nodded, then proceeded to ravish Iruka.

Four days had passed since the 'incident' with Iruka and Kakashi. Kakashi and Iruka and spent countless hours together from then on. Everyone that knew what had happened between Iruka and Kakashi, like Ino, Shino, Hinata, etc., had glomped Iruka, screamed their congratulation[except the boys, and squealed. The boys didn't do much, they just nodded their congrats, or grinned at him. Kiba wolf whistled. Kakashi had given Iruka a look that said, 'Just How Many People Knew??'. Iruka had grinned and shrugged in response.

Kakashi was not thrilled to find out about this though. It took him a while, but after it registered that they knew about Iruka being turned into a dog, and were still hugging 'Ru' and kissing him and coddling him and whatnot, he was extremely pissed. Iruka had belonged to him even when he was in his dog form, and to know that the others were aware of Iruka being a dog and still doing those things to him, actually bothered him. His jealously and anger disappeared, though, when Iruka had randomly jumped into his arms and began to hug and kiss him.

Kakashi loved spending almost every second with Iruka. Of course, he knew he took it a little far when Iruka had literally kicked him out of the bathroom for being in it at the same time as he was. Even after yelling at Kakashi and kicking him out, when Iruka was back in the bathroom, he leaned against the door and smiled. His Jounin really was insane, he had mused to himself before proceeding to do what he was going to, but that was what made Kakashi interesting and fun.

Along with them, Naruto and Sasuke stopped worrying about their relationship and went back to focusing on themselves. They were happy for them, and still looking out for them. Naruto had teased Iruka about 'owing' him something for helping Iruka open his eyes to his blindness with Kakashi. Although it was a tease, it didn't help the fact that he was in Iruka's home, sitting on the floor, his head down, and sighing.

Iruka rubbed his temples and breathed in, then slowly out. With his eyes closed, he asked,

"Naruto, you know he's going to say yes, why are you stressing about something like this?" Iruka opened his eyes and looked questioningly at Naruto. Kakashi, who stood beside him, nodded in agreement.

Naruto sighed once more, probably his tenth time sighing that few minutes. "But this is different...I'm going to propose! It's pretty much permanent. I mean, what if he doesn't want that?!" Naruto frowned sadly at the thought.

'OF COURSE HE WANTS THAT, YOU BAKA! HE'S BEEN WAITING FOR YOU TO PROPOSE! HOW DENSE ARE YOU??'

Naruto growled. "SHUT UP, KYUU!" Naruto then noticed Kakashi and Iruka stare at him. Naruto blinked and had a confused expression on his face. "Oh, shit, did I say that out loud?" Kakashi and Iruka nodded.

'Thanks a lot, Kyuu.' Naruto grumbled in his head.

'You're the one that shouted it aloud, not me. I had no control of that.'

'... Shut up...'

"Anyway..." Iruka started, "... he's carrying your child for god's sake! What would make you think he wouldn't want to be married to you?" Iruka asked incredulously. How many times had Sasuke hinted proposal? Naruto really was dense when he wanted to be.

Kakashi's eyes widened, and he looked at Iruka in shock. "What? Sasuke's pregnant?"

Iruka raised a brow at Kakashi, but then remembered that neither he nor Naruto had told Kakashi about this, and they doubted Sasuke would even think about telling Kakashi. Iruka nodded. "Yes, Sasuke's pregnant...Naruto used some kind of scroll or something... right?" he asked Naruto.

Naruto nodded. Kakashi tilted his head to the side a bit. "Ah. What is it with you and scrolls?" Kakashi asked Naruto. Naruto just grinned and shrugged.

"That one was an accident." Naruto admitted sheepishly.

'Damn fox.'

'Well if it wasn't for this 'damn fox', you wouldn't be happy about having a child, now would you?'

'Didn't I tell you to shut up?'

'Didn't I teach you manners?'

'No, that was Iruka.'

'Then what did I teach you?'

'How to kick ass.'

'Oh. Right. Nevermind then. That too was beneficial.'

"Ah.." Kakashi felt Iruka wrap his tail around his waist and chuckle. Gods Kakashi loved that tail... he frowned. 'I'm really going to miss it...' he thought sadly. He had some odd fetish for tails now...More specifically, Iruka's tail.

"Anyway." Naruto resumed the conversation, "The pregnancy thing was different...I mean, it's proposing, I have every intention to marry him and–! I don't know... it's hard!"

Kakashi sighed. "It's not that difficult, Naruto. You know he'll say yes." Kakashi repeated, rolling his eyes.

Naruto pouted and looked up to Kakashi. "That's easier said then done, and also, it's hard to 'pop the question'. I feel like I'm going to mess up."

Kakashi shook his head and removed Iruka's tail from his waist. "Here, let me demonstrate." he grabbed the confused looking Iruka and gently lead him to take a seat on the couch. "The first step is easy. Make sure he's sitting or that you have him where you want to. The next step," he grabbed Iruka's left hand, "is to grab his hand gently, and then bend down on one knee." he got down on one knee. "Keep your eyes locked with his," Kakashi lowered his mask and locked his eyes with Iruka's confused ones. "Pull out your ring case," he reached into his pocket and pulled out a black velvet box, opened it, revealing a gold ring, and held it out to show Iruka, "And ask the question." he grinned up at Iruka's wide, shocked eyes.

"Umino Iruka," Kakashi started. "Will you marry me?" Kakashi asked with a smile.

Both Naruto's and Iruka's jaws dropped. Iruka's eyes were wide from shock as he stared at Kakashi, then the ring, then back to Kakashi. Kakashi seemed nervous, and was sweating a tad, but held Iruka's hand and the ring box. Iruka swallowed, his throat dry, and asked,

"Is this part of the demonstration, or are you really proposing...?" he stared hesitantly into Kakashi's mismatched eyes.

Kakashi grinned. "Both."

Iruka looked up to see Naruto, who looked dumbstruck, and then he looked back at Kakashi. Kakashi smiled, now feeling a bit timid.

"Well...?" 'Shit, did I mess up? No wonder Naruto was so damn nervous to do this...'

Slowly, Iruka grinned and tackled Kakashi to the floor. Naruto jumped out of the way so he wouldn't be tackled along with, and watched with a smile as Iruka shouted 'Yes!' over and over again. Naruto grinned. If Kakashi got this lucky, then Naruto had nothing to worry about. He shook his head as Iruka proceeded to kiss Kakashi mercilessly, Iruka's tail wagging like a mad dog.

Naruto rubbed the back of his neck a bit awkwardly, "Uhh...thanks for the advice and all..," he saw Kakashi began to return the kisses. "...Kakashi, ... er... congratulations. I'll see you...much, much later." Naruto sweatdropped and left.

Iruka stopped kissing Kakashi due to lack of air, which didn't thrill Kakashi at all, and grinned down at him. "I can't believe you proposed..." Iruka said while nuzzling Kakashi's neck.

"I can't believe you said yes." Kakashi grinned sheepishly.

Iruka seized nuzzling Kakashi to look at him. He tilted his to the side a bit. "Why?"

Kakashi wrapped his arms around Iruka's waist, and with the hand that wasn't holding the box, subconsciously played with Iruka's tail. "Err...I thought for sure you wouldn't want to be with me that way...yet..." he muttered the last word, but Iruka's dog ears picked it up.

Iruka smiled genuinely down at Kakashi, finding it adorable that Kakashi was playing with his tail due to nervousness. He kissed Kakashi again. "Exactly. 'Yet'. I would've sooner or later, so why not make it sooner?"

Kakashi's eyes widened. He chuckled and hugged Iruka, burying his face in the crook of Iruka's neck and smiling against it. "Because it's too good to be true?"

Iruka grinned and bit Kakashi's neck. "It happened..."

Kakashi grinned. "You still have those 'animal instincts' of yours? You've been biting more frequently lately..." he mused.

"...Shut up." Iruka grumbled, blushing in embarrassment. He knew his urges to bite lately has been growing. Kakashi has been doing nothing but teasing him lately about it. Kakashi went even as far as to throw a ball and yell out, 'Fetch, Ru-Ru!' and what was embarrassing about that? Iruka fetched. Kakashi didn't stop laughing for days.

"Love you too." Kakashi said with a smile.

"Better."

Kakashi grinned stupidly, but happily. He knew that 'better' translated to 'I love you too, Kashi'.
