*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Iruka-sensei what happened?! Why are you hurt? Was it the old pervert?! If he hurt you I swear Iruka-sensei I'll kill him. Believe it!"

Kakashi looked at the young ninja, glaring. "First off, I'm not a pervert. Second, you couldn't kill me even if I had one hand tied my back. Third, who the hell do you think you are making accusations like that you little brat!!" Kakashi stood from his seat and was towering over Naruto, sudden anger pumping through his veins.

Iruka stood up and took Kakashi's hand, standing in front of the jounin when he refused to move, cupping his face. "Kashi stop! Listen to me! Calm down. Naruto's just an over-protective idiot and you should know that! You are too after all. So calm down or I'll have to make you!"

Kakashi's visible eye softened and his eyes finally met with Iruka's instead of cutting through him to glare at Naruto. "But he said~"

Kakashi was cut off by Iruka glaring at him. Iruka stood closer to Kakashi and moved his face closer to the jounin's and when he was sure his hands would cover the side of the jounin's face, he pulled down the mask for a slow passionate kiss. Hearing a cat call coming from where they were sitting, Iruka pulled back from Kakashi, replacing the man's mask and blushing furiously. "Shut up Itachi!"

"If I only knew how!" Itachi smirked at Iruka and suddenly jumped out of the chair, running out of the restaurant. Iruka laughed as he watched Itachi run out of the place and after Genma who had just walked past.

"He certainly doesn't waste any time..." Kakashi smirked as the Uchiha disappeared from view. Looking back at Iruka, he placed a chaste kiss on the chunin's lips through his mask and they both sat back down.

"Hey! Don't just ignore me like that!!! Heeeey!!" Naruto was shouting loudly now, earning himself a threatening look from the restaurant owner.

"Naruto if you're going to talk to me or eat, sit down and stop shouting!" Iruka turned in his chair to face the blonde ninja, pointing his finger towards the now empty seat and using his famously known teacher voice.

"Fine!" Naruto sat down in the chair at the end of the counter beside Sasuke, frowning. He ordered three bowls of pork ramen and ate them quickly. When he looked down the counter at the other people there, he saw Iruka and Hinata in a discussion in what he thought to be battle tactics and group formations, Kakashi playing with his Iruka's hair and Sasuke and Neji were making out. Wait... What?

"What the hell are you doing?!!!" Naruto jumped from his chair, pointing and shouting at Sasuke.

Sasuke pulled away from Neji and glared at the dobe, pissed for being interrupted. "Tch. What the hell does it look I'm doing? Dobe."

"But you're not gay!"

"Well obviously I am. Why else would I be kissing him?" Sasuke stared at the other boy, irritation and promised death visible in his eyes but his voice was as uncaring and cold as ever.

"But... Oh my god! You've seen me nearly naked!!!! We train together! We've even gone into bath houses at the same time on some of our missions!!! And you're gay!!"

Sasuke's eyes narrowed, he was getting too annoyed at the teen too quickly. "Just because I'm gay doesn't mean I like you! I wouldn't check you out if you were the last living thing on earth! I have taste not to mention standards. And guess what, dobes like you don't meet those standards!" Sasuke was standing now, being held back by Neji's arm around his waist.

"Come say it to my face Sas-gay!!"

That was it. Sasuke snapped. Sasuke broke free of Neji's hold and lunged himself at Naruto, slamming him into the wall. He pinned the blonde to the wall with one hand, his fist repeatedly slamming into Naruto's body. He felt Neji try to pull him off, but rage was fuelling him now and he continued his assault on the now pleading boy. He suddenly jerked backwards and found himself thrown against the wall, a body pressing against his the back of his own, the arms wrapped under his armpits and joining behind Sasuke's head preventing him from moving them. Sasuke turned his head which was pressed against the wall and saw it was Kakashi holding him.

"What the hell do you think you were doing Sasuke?! Naruto's a member of your team! I didn't pass you to have you beat him to within an inch of his life twice in one week!!"

"He deserved it! Both times!"

"What the hell did he do that was so bad?!"

Sasuke tried to break free from Kakashi, but the hold Kakashi had on him only tightened, telling Sasuke he wasn't getting out of this unless he talked. Sasuke sighed before bowing his head in defeat.

"Fine. I'll tell you. The first time I beat the crap out of him was because he forced himself onto Hinata, pinning her to wall. You know how I feel about Hinata and Naruto, so my reasons for my action were obvious enough. And just now, I was still pissed about what he did to Hinata so it didn't take much for him to drive me over the edge. What he said doesn't really matter. Besides, weren't you about ready to kill him about half an hour ago?"

Kakashi released his grip on Sasuke and stood back from him. He was about to walk over to Iruka when he saw Sasuke examining his shoulder worriedly. Sighing, he walked back to the raven and pulled off the boy's shirt so he could examine him properly, ignoring the shouts and attacks of protest and slapping away the boy's hands. Once the shirt was removed, Kakashi swore.

"Fuck!! Kakashi my shoulder isn't supposed to look like that!"

"Relax Sasuke it's only dislocated... I'll just pop it back into place. And if you were smart enough to say 'This hurts like hell' or something this wouldn't have happened. Now come on, brace yourself on the wall. I'm not going to lie, it's going to hurt like a bitch."

Sasuke sat on a chair and faced the wall, biting his bottom lip and tensing when Kakashi stood beside him and put a hand on either side of his shoulder. He released a breath he didn't realise he was holding when the hands suddenly left and he heard Iruka shout something about taking Sasuke to the hospital.

"Sasuke! A-are you alright??" Hinata was standing beside Sasuke now, sitting him down and looking worried about how Sasuke looked even more pale than usual.

"I'm fine Hinata, don't worry. It's just a dislocated shoulder." Sasuke smiled reassuringly towards the girl, but arched his back and hissed in pain when he felt fingers sink into his back. A few moments later, Sasuke let his head fall back and groaned, not caring that he was in a public place where anyone could hear him.

"Mmmm...God that feels good..." Sasuke's breath was coming in shorter, faster breaths as he was massaged, the tension draining away, as well as the pain in his shoulder.

"You're enjoying this a lot more than you should be..."

"Mmmm... shut up Neji!" Sasuke arched his back again and gasped sharply when Neji hit a particular sensitive spot on his shoulder. Making a mental note of the spot and saving it into his memory, Neji dug his fingers into it relentlessly, his grin widening as Sasuke's moans grew louder and a deep blush was on Hinata's face. He looked around the restaurant and saw Naruto glaring through his half opened eyes, but the other two didn't even seem to hear Sasuke.

Sasuke brought his hand up to Neji, wrapping it around the Hyugas neck as his back began to arch almost violently off his chair and his moans of pure ecstasy began to change to desperation. Deciding he couldn't take it anymore, Sasuke stood and kicked his chair out of the way. He threw his arms around Neji, ignoring the shooting pain from his shoulder and fisting Neji's hair as he pulled their heads together, his lips meeting Neji's. His tongue darted in and out of Neji's mouth, moaning when he felt Neji rub his hands down along his thighs. He took small, slow steps until he felt a bump as Neji hit the wall. A gasp escaped both genin as Sasuke felt a hand land firmly on his uninjured shoulder, pulling him away from Neji.

"That's quite enough! I do not need to see my former students all over each other in public! Sasuke, come on you're going to the hospital and I'm coming with you. Kakashi, make sure Naruto's okay and make sure he doesn't come near Sasuke for a while. If Sasuke strains his shoulder he'll only do more damage. Hinata if you want to come with me, feel free. Neji, if you want to come you better keep your hands to yourself! Hearing you massage him like that is one thing, this is another."

"I'll come sensei..." Hinata stood up and bowed her head as she took a step towards the Uchiha, offering him a small smile. When he smiled back, Hinata's face blushed a shade of pink that complemented the girl's skin tone, and looked away from Sasuke shyly. They set off walking soon after, Naruto shouting behind them.

Slipping beside Sasuke, Neji wrapped his arm around Sasuke's waist, smiling when Sasuke did the same. His gaze lifted to Iruka's face when he realised he was being watched. "So I can't even do this?"

"Fine. But if there is any kind of inappropriate contact so help me Neji when we are inside the hospital I will throw you out the nearest window and there's no guarantee it will be open."

Neji nodded as Iruka turned away, resuming his conversation with Hinata. He never realised how clever Hinata was because she was so quiet in class and he never talked to her much because she was so shy. Of course he helped her with school work and school training but he never realised how much layers this girl had to her. Underneath her shy, coy nature is a friendly, active girl.

Neji, seeing Iruka was distracted by his talk with Hinata, took off his jacket and gave it to Sasuke, having forgotten he was topless somehow. Once it was on, Neji wrapped himself around Sasuke once again. Smirking at Sasuke as they walked, talking about nothing in particular, Neji let his hand slowly fall down the Uchiha's hip. Resisting the temptation to laugh as Sasuke gasped when Neji squeezed his ass, letting his hand rest in the younger's back pocket.

The hospital came into view quickly and Neji was smiling softly while Sasuke huddled into the warmth of Neji's jacket, resting his head on the Hyuga's shoulder. They entered the hospital and walked over to where one of the nurses stationed at reception stood. When she turned around, her bright smile fell at the sight before here.

Neji Hyuga was standing in his usual clothing and his hair tied up, only this time he had no jacket on leaving him simply with a net top showing his defined muscles. Sasuke Uchiha was standing beside him, their arms wrapped around each other. The nurse realised Sasuke was wearing Neji's jacket and nuzzling into the Hyuga's shoulder. Obviously they were a couple. Her smile suddenly falling back into place as she finished her examination of the other two, her unnaturally cheery voice ran through their ears.

"Hi there. My name's Sayu. How can I help you?"

"It's Sasuke. His shoulder is dislocated badly and I think it may be a little worse than it seems. I thought I would bring him here instead of taking any chances." Iruka looked from Sasuke to the nurse, worry obvious in his eyes and tone.

"Alright. I'll just need a name to admit him under and then I need you to fill out these forms. If you head to room 210 the doctor there will check Sasuke. You can fill out the forms there and drop them back when they're done." The nurse handed Iruka a couple of sheets and a clipboard. He simply smiled and thanked the nurse before walking away.

Iruka sighed as he walked through the hospital after the kids. He hated hospitals. Ever since he was a child and he'd almost died in hospital because his first mission went so wrong he'd hated hospitals. The smell, the doctors and the unnatural cleanliness of them. He sighed deeper when he read the questions on the forms. Hearing a door click open, Iruka looked up to see they were at the room. He followed the trio into the room and closed the door behind him. Seeing Hinata and Neji stand beside Sasuke on the examination bed, Iruka took a seat in the corner of the room where he could watch them closely and began to fill out the form.

"Oh I'm sorry, I didn't realise I had a patient. I do apologise and I hope you weren't waiting long. Really, we do need new staff."

"No it's fine. We just got here." Iruka smiled at the young doctor who had entered the room, despite the fact he felt something was... off, about the man. The doctor spoke again, breaking through Iruka's thoughts.

"My name is Kabuto Yakushi. I'll be your doctor today, well, tonight."

"My name is Iruka Umino. That's Sasuke and he's the one who needs medical attention." Iruka pointed towards where he lay, talking to the two Hyugas. He was annoyed this doctor was talking to him rather than looking over Sasuke. Iruka already wanted to leave.

"Right then." The doctor turned and walked next to the bed, smiling at the Hyuga's as he straightened Sasuke's back."Okay I need you to take the jacket off Sasuke. If it hurts your shoulder to do so, tell me and I'll take it off."

Sasuke didn't answer. He just slipped the jacket off, wincing at the slight pain that shot down his arm. He handed the jacket back to Neji and let the doctor examine him, gritting his teeth. He hated hospitals. Ever since he woke up after the Uchiha clan was murdered he hated hospitals. He hated everything about them. He just wanted to leave.

"Okay it seems to just be a simple dislocation, but when I put it back into place it's possible I might damage some surrounding tissue. To prevent that I'm going to channel some of my chakra into you. It will also help with the pain a little. It's going to be a bit uncomfortable so just relax."

Sasuke gasped as a hand gripped his shoulder and a sudden energy and warmth suddenly rushed through him. It didn't last long, but he was glad when it was over. Feeling two hands on either side of his shoulder, Sasuke gripped the side of the bed, his eyes meeting with Neji's.

"One... Two..." Kabuto pulled Sasuke's shoulder back into place, a piercing scream sounding through the room. Hearing the scream, Iruka dropped the clipboard and jumped towards Sasuke. He sat down beside the Uchiha who was nearly howling, and giving the two frozen Hyugas a glance, he pulled Sasuke into his arms.

"What the hell did you do to him?!! It shouldn't be this painful!" Iruka was highly pissed now. He knew Sasuke hated hospitals as much he himself did, but the fact that the Uchiha was in so much pain gave Iruka all the reason and permission he needed to hold the boy in his arms.

"It shouldn't have hurt that much at all. I used my chakra to heal the slightly damaged tissue and then I channelled it through his system to take away the edge of the pain.... I don't know what went wrong!"

"You gave him some of your chakra!!! Are you an idiot? No wonder he's in pain! His chakra system is different to most shinobi's. His body will only accept chakra from a pure blood family like the Uchihas or the Hyugas! Seriously don't you know anything?!"Iruka turned away from the doctor and faced the two Hyugas who had finally snapped out of their shock induced trance and were now standing near the end of the bed.

"Listen you two, I need you both to channel your chakra through Sasuke okay? I need you both because I'm not sure how much he'll need and I don't want one of you running low. Can you do that?"

Both genin nodded and walked over to where the pair sat but when Iruka tried to move Sasuke, the boy was holding onto him and wouldn't let go, his eyes squeezed shut.

"Neji come here quickly. You need to calm him down before he over does it and kills himself. His pulse is going too fast, he's overheating and I'm sure his chakra is moving too quickly as well."

"Me... why not you? I don't know what to do..."

"Because Neji you have an emotional connection with him neither me nor Hinata have... I can't believe I'm about to say this, but kiss him if you have to and channel chakra there. It would get to his head faster who you are and help him relax."

Neji felt a shy blush creep onto his cheeks as he stepped towards Sasuke. Hinata turned around, as did Kabuto. Iruka wished he could turn around, but Sasuke was holding onto him in a way which meant he could only turn his head slightly but he could still see them in his peripheral vision, his mind never registering the fact that he could close his eyes. He felt the weight shift in the bed as Neji sat in front of him, reaching out to Sasuke.

"Sasuke... it's me Neji... What's wrong??" Neji stared at Sasuke's back, hearing soft whimpers that began to escape the boy. Neji slid forward on his knees and put his hand on Sasuke's back, moving Iruka's out of the way. "Sasuke listen to me... it's alright. I'm here for you..." Neji still got no answer. Looking up at Iruka uneasily, he put his hand under Sasuke's chin, tilting his head back so his full, slightly damp face was in view. Neji wiped away the trails of tears that had escaped Sasuke's eyes. Bending his head down, he met Sasuke's lips, smiling softly when Sasuke began to slowly respond to his movements.

All at once, their positions changed. Something inside Sasuke snapped and he released his hold on Iruka and throwing himself at Neji, he pinned the Hyuga to the bed, exploring the boy's mouth with a sense of familiarity and dominance. Iruka glanced at the two boys and it took all of his will power not to separate them as there was a soft glow about them meaning Neji was still channelling his chakra into the other. Standing up, Iruka walked over to Hinata and led her out of the room, a dark blush covering her face. When he was outside, he waited for Kabuto to exit before closing the door behind him. Iruka glared as he watched the doctor walk away, as if he didn't just mess up so badly.

"Am I mistaken, or didn't you come here with three genin?" Iruka jumped at the sudden voice purring into his ear and the arm around his waist. His automatic reflex of reaching for kunai was stopped when a hand gripped his own and the realisation of who it was sunk in.

"Shit Kakashi don't do that!" Iruka sighed as he let himself fall backwards into the jounin's arms, smiling when he felt a scratchy material nuzzle into his neck.

"So I'm guessing you left Sasuke and Neji alone. Is he alright?" Kakashi kept his head still on Iruka's shoulder. To everyone else, he would have sounded like the lazy, uncaring jounin he was known for, but Iruka could sense the worry in Kakashi's voice. He knew Kakashi hadn't meant to hurt Sasuke and he was afraid he might have injured his squad member.

"He's fine Kakashi. That idiot doctor fixed his shoulder but he also put his own chakra into Sasuke's system. How could he not know about that?!" Iruka looked away from Kakashi towards Hinata and saw her walking down the hall with Sakura. Since they were alone, Iruka turned to face the jounin, wrapping his arms around his neck. They stepped back against the wall, moving so passersby could actually pass by them.

"I don't know either... But did that doctor seem familiar to you?"

"Yeah... I couldn't put my finger on where from though. And you know me, I always remember a face!"

"I know... haven't you said that a million times before." Kakashi leaned down, resting his chin on the chunin's head. Suddenly, said chunin tensed.

"Shit!! Kakashi, I know where I've seen him before!!" Kakashi just blinked, waiting for a continuation of that explanation. "Kakashi! He's a ninja from the sound village! He's entered the chunin exams countless times over the past couple of years and never once has he passed!"

"Fuck! Your right how the hell did I miss that?! Ruka, go tell lady Tsunade. I'll alert those two and go look for him!"

"Hell no! I'm not going to report to the Hokage while you look for the bastard that hurt my Sasuke!!"

"You're Sasuke??"

"Oh ah... I mean..."Kakashi looked at the chunin, very confused. Reaching down, he took the forms that were in Iruka's hand and almost dropped them again.

"Are you really...."

The chunin simply nodded, his eyes never meeting Kakashi's. "When Sasuke was found, it was soon after I had refused to take the jounin exam, I only wanted to be a teacher. I didn't, and still don't have the heart to do what you do. The Hokage understood this and granted my wish, under one condition. I look out for Sasuke, not as a father because I was still young, but as an older brother. As Sasuke grew up I tried to get close to him but he wouldn't open up. No one knew I was taking care of him and soon before he graduated he moved out. We don't talk about it and we think of each other as sensei and student. Now that's the end of it. I don't want to hear you say anything more about it!"

Kakashi was about to reply when he caught the look in the chunin's eyes. He nodded slowly and just stood still, holding the younger man against himself. Iruka pulled away slightly, tilting back to see the other's face.

"We should probably call the boys... and do something about Kabuto... but before that you're going to see your brother!"

"No!"

"Yes! Kakashi he's your brother! Sure he's a bastard but you nearly killed the man and I know you have unanswered questions about your past. Kashi, he has those answers. Talk to him."

"If I talk to him this one time, will you let me forget about him and move on?"

"Yes..."

"Why are we still here then?"

"Because we have to get Neji and Sasuke...."

"Right... hurry up and get them then!"

Iruka laughed at the impatient jounin and was about to walk in, but he froze, his hand on the door handle. "Kashi you get them!" Iruka turned and quickly grabbed the older man, pushing him in front of the door. Kakashi just looked at the chunin, very confused.

"They were my students and I partially raised Sasuke. I don't want to walk in on something that will scar me for life!"

"How old are you again?"

"Younger than you!"

"By a year!"

"Still younger!! Now go!"

Kakashi raised his eyebrows but did what he was told. He looked at the two boys and all he could do was smile. "Ruka... come here!"

Iruka entered the room cautiously, poking his head in the door before the rest of his body. His eyes softened immediately. Sasuke had straddled Neji's hips, and had leant forwards now with his head on Neji's chest and his hands holding onto Neji's shoulders. Neji had his arms resting on Sasuke's lower back, his jacket covering them both. The thing that both sensei's found adorable about the pair and that moment was that they were sleeping.

Iruka walked over to the bed, a gentle smile on his face as he stood over Sasuke and shook his shoulder gently. The genin didn't respond. "Kashi come here."

Kakashi walked over and turned around as Iruka gestured. Feeling a weight on his back, Kakashi saw Neji's head on his shoulder. "And I'm carrying him why??"

Kakashi grabbed the Hyuga's legs and turned to watch as Iruka picked up Sasuke in the same way. He walked out the door slowly after Iruka, following him to his brother's room. Iruka turned to Kakashi when they were outside the door, offering him a reassuring smile.

"Ready?"

"Yeah. Now can we get this over with? I'm sick of this place." Iruka nodded and opened the door and stepped in, Kakashi on his heels. They both backed out quickly, their eyes burning.

"Shit! I just saw my brother~"

"Don't say it Kashi... let's just forget we ever saw that!"

"But he's doing it in a hospital! What if the two kids had been awake to see it?"

Iruka turned and started to walk down the hall, Kakashi following him. "In all fairness though Kashi, it's not as if they were actually doing it. Who knew your brother would be~ Oh. Shit." Iruka stopped and suddenly took off back down the hall. Kakashi followed, very confused for the hundredth time that day.

Iruka burst into the room, catching the half naked man leaving through the window. He grabbed the culprit's foot and threw him across the room, the man hitting off the wall and slumping to the floor.

Kakashi was about to burst into the room when he remembered he had Neji on his back. Seeing Sasuke slumped on the floor just outside, he dropped the Hyuga beside the other sleeping boy and entered the room.

"Kashi thank god. You take care of him, I'll check your brother!" Iruka walked over to the bed, the injured man looking fragile and broken. His hands were bound by chakra wire, a gag in his mouth and he just seemed confused as to where he was.

Iruka wiped the man's tears, trying and failing to calm the man on the bed. He set him free of his bindings and stood up, walking over to where Kakashi stood not even speaking to the man whose throat was now under his foot.

"Itachi?!" Iruka staggered backwards, almost as if he'd been dealt a physical blow. "What... how?!"

Itachi smirked up at Iruka, but choked when Kakashi leaned on his foot, threatening to crush his throat. "What happens if you kill me? Do you become a rogue ninja?"

Kakashi released his foot and sat on the man's chest, his knees keeping Itachi's hands out of use. He leant down so he was inches apart from Itachi's face before growling at the man "I will not become a rogue ninja for killing the likes of you because you are a traitorous bastard! You not only betrayed this village, you betrayed your brother!! You are either going to die by my hand or Tsunade's! So tell me, did you kill the Uchihas?!"

"Tch... Normally, I'd just kill you here and leave. But not this time. I've realised I've nothing to live for anymore. I just hoped you wouldn't have caught me before I did what I came to do... So if you want to know everything, get the hell off me and at least put me into a comfortable chair. I'm not going to stay here for the next hour while you sit on me."

"Why should we do anything you say?! It doesn't matter anymore. We were stupid enough to believe you and let you back here. You're going to die and I want to do it! As your old sensei Itachi, I want to be the one to kill you!!"

Kakashi felt a hand fall on his shoulder and grip it tightly, pulling him back a bit. Kakashi looked over his shoulder to see Iruka standing there, his eyes pained and troubled, his head shaking slowly. Solemnly. "Don't Kashi. I want to hear him."

Kakashi could hear the strain in Iruka's voice. He knew the chunin wanted to just cry. He had been wrong about Itachi and people got hurt because of that. He had spoken on behalf of Itachi, and the guilt would slowly eat at him. Kakashi stood slowly, gripping onto Itachi in case he made a run for it. He walked out of the room and pushed open the next one. Seeing it was empty, Kakashi threw Itachi into the chair and tied him there using chakra wire. He knew Sharingan would be useless against Itachi's.

"Now... speak." Kakashi stood in front of the chair, crossing his arms over his chest and resisting the temptation to run over to the bed where Iruka was now sitting and comfort the younger man.

"Where'll I start?"

"Just tell us what the hell you wanted to do here, if you really did kill the Uchihas and what you were doing to Sakumo!"

"Well well well... it seems you do care for your brother Kakashi. But before I get into that, I'll tell you what I wanted to do. I wanted to break Sasuke! He seemed to have pretty much gotten over me killing the Uchiha clan and I couldn't have that. I wanted to get him to trust me, I just never realised he wouldn't until you two did two. Somehow I tricked both of you and I grew on you. You and Sasuke both, Kakashi sensei. I want to break his soul so his drive to kill me is sparked once more but this time, he will hold nothing back. He will leave the village to grow more powerful! He will betray you all like I did once. I have a feeling I know where he would go, but I can't be too sure just yet. But now that I'm going to die, will he even need to leave?"

"Sasuke wouldn't betray the village. He has loyalties, responsibilities. He belongs here. He will never be like you!" Kakashi was spitting the words at the man in the chair, refraining from killing him. "You don't deserve a life Uchiha, and I would be more than happy to take it for you."

"Shut up Kakashi! We both know you're not going to kill me, not while Iruka's around. And wait a minute, did you just tell me I didn't deserve a life, and not give me that 'I abandoned my friends so I'm worse than scum' speech?"

Kakashi darted forward, pulling kunai out of his pouch and closing the short gap between them so fast, even most ANBU wouldn't have seen him move before it was too late. But yet, a hand landed on his own, the other wrapped around him, resting on his chest and a head was on his shoulder.

"Kashi...."

"Ruka... He doesn't~"

"I know.... but you can't do it. Tsunade would not let it slide and I wouldn't be able to do much to help you if she declared you a rogue ninja. So don't. Let him be taken by ANBU. Let him die, but not by your hands. Kashi, they're already stained with too much blood. I know that more than anyone because I'm the one that helped you. If you kill him, you'll disappear somewhere I can't follow."

Kakashi let the kunai fall from his grip and his hand followed it, landing at his side as he took a defeated step backwards and welcomed the chunin's open arms. He leant against the man's chest and smirked when he realised the chunin was smaller than Kakashi remembered. "Let me ask him one more thing then..."

Iruka looked up at the jounin, wondering what to say. He sighed before nodding and pushing against the jounin so he could lean on his shoulder.

"So Itachi, first you claim not to have killed the Uchiha clan, now you say you did... tell me. Did you kill them or not?"

"You really want to know Kakashi-sensei? I'll tell you. I killed them. Not all of them, just most. I had help from some of the Hyugas of course. They jumped at the oppertunity to kill my family. Of course, being the clan leader Hizashi couldn't risk doing anything himself so he send Hiashi and a select few to help me. I saved Sasuke because I wanted him to suffer. I had a feeling at some stage in his life he would begin to get over the incident, which is why I requested help from the Hyuga's. They would take the blame for everything. That's why the Hyuga's were afraid of me. They were afraid if word got out I had something to do with my clan's murder, they'd be killed by me. So now, I'm back to make his life a living hell... But I don't feel like it anymore. I just want to die."

Kakashi stared at the Uchiha who was staring back at him and made to move closer, but the arms around him kept him in place.

"Come on then... We'll report him to the Hokage and she can deal with him. We'll check on Sakumo and make sure he's looked over. Then we'll go look for Kabuto." Iruka released Kakashi and walked over to the door, opening it and stepping out, leaving it open for Kakashi.

Kakashi made a few hand signs and summoned his hounds. "Pakkun, Sheba, Jesse, I want you to watch this bastard. If he moves, you attack. If he breaks free, you call the rest of the pack and you get him. I do not want this bastard to escapes no matter what! Understand?"

"Yeah boss. We got it. Go already!" Kakashi nodded at his loyal friend and started to walk out the door, trying to ignore the cries from Itachi.

"You know rape is the easiest way to break someone? And man was it fun to do with Sakumo. I mean he really~ Agh!! That dam dog bit me!!..."

Kakashi smiled as he walked out the door, closing it behind himself. He watched Iruka walk into the next room to Sakumo sliently, knowing that was his way of being told to go tell someone. He started to walk towards the reception desk when he nearly fell over the pair on the floor. Sasuke was sitting on Neji's lap, his eyes squeezed shut and a few tear trails glistening on his cheeks. His hands were gripping tightly to Neji's shirt, shaking slightly. Neji had his arms wrapped around the Uchiha, rubbing circles on the boys back and his eyes looking up to meet Kakashi's.

"Oh shit... he heard?"

"Yes. I woke up when you just dumped me on the floor, and Sasuke woke up about the same time because when you dropped me, you dropped me onto him."

"Shit..."

"Go do something for your own brother already. I'll take care of Sasuke. I'll take him back to the Uchiha compound and I'll stay with him. Don't worry. Now go!"

Neji stood then, holding Sasuke by wrapping his arm around the boys back and legs.

"Here, I'll help. Hold onto my arm." Neji did as Kakashi ordered, standing on his toes to reach when Kakashi raised his arms. He smiled when he saw Kakashi perform the few hand signals for the transportation jutsu.

"Here we are." Kakashi looked around the dark room of the Uchiha compound's main room. "Take care of him Neji. I'll be back with Iruka as soon as I can. If you feel it necessary, summon the Hokage. Understand?"

"Yes. Now get out of here!" Kakashi laughed at the Hyuga, but understood. If Iruka was like Sasuke was, Kakashi would want to be alone with him too. He preformed the hand signals once more and was back in the hospital. He caught one of the nurses and brought her into the room Sakumo was in.

When the nurse saw Sakumo, she quickly called in three others and a doctor and they began working around him immediately. They told Iruka and Kakashi to leave, and with a bit of a struggle, the pair was standing outside the hospital and replayed the events that had happened in a matter of minutes. ANBU had taken Itachi and were on their way to the Hokage tower, the hounds were going over to see Sasuke and Kabuto had been found and was joining Itachi.

"I can't believe he tricked us like that... how the hell did we fall for it?" Iruka sighed as he fell into Kakashi's arms, the pair holding each other outside the building.

"I'm guessing he used the Sharingan... It's the only explanation I can think of."

"But what if we were just stupid. Kashi, what if we just believed him because we wanted to? We let him in here, we stuck up for him in front of the Hokage and you've seen what he did to your brother, you heard what he wants to do to Sasuke and you know what he did to the Uchiha clan. How can anyone ever forgive us?"

"Listen Ruka, it'll be alright. We made a mistake but we won't be punished or hated. Sasuke's fine, he's with Neji. Sakumo will be fine. We will be fine!" Kakashi pulled down his mask and met the younger's lips, watching for anyone that might pass by. When he pulled the mask up, he smiled. "Come on. Let's go check on Sasuke."

"Yeah. I just hope Sakura and Naruto don't hear about this anytime soon... I don't want to have to put up with Naruto's yelling and Sakura's crazy obsessive lust for a guy who isn't even straight."

Kakashi laughed as he felt Iruka wrap his arms around his waist again. He performed the hand signals for the transformation jutsu once again and they were standing in the Uchiha's room. Sasuke must have calmed down a lot if he had a half naked Neji on top of him and teasing his neck before biting down playfully, the Uchiha moaning loudly.

Iruka backed out of the room, pulling Kakashi with him. "If I see them like this one more time, I am going to kill someone!"

Kakashi laughed at the chunin and led him away from the bedroom, not wanting the soft moans from the boys to stay in his or Iruka's memory. "How about you see yourself like that then... sensei."

Kakashi purred at the teacher and almost laughed when he saw the look Iruka gave him. "I think, Kashi... that is a very good idea." Iruka pounced on the man and they both tumbled backwards, glad to have made it into the living room as they fell over the arms of the couch and landed squarely on the soft cushions.

Kakashi flipped them over so he was lying over Iruka, attacking his neck much like Neji had done for Sasuke, one thought running through his mind before being drowned out by lust. I want to kill that bastard... I need to kill him now.
