~ We Join Iruka ~
Iruka rushes over to Kakashi's apartment and pounds on the door. Kakashi opens the door, and asks, "What's wrong Iruka?' He enters Kakashi's apartment, and sits on the couch saying, "I have a serious problem Kakashi."
Kakashi closes the door, and asks his longtime friend, "What's wrong?" Iruka replies sighing, "I think I'm in love." Kakashi grins saying, "That isn't a problem Iruka who is she?"
Iruka's face falls saying, "She's a new student from the mist village named Kia." Kakashi smirks remembering the nickname his father used to call Kiyomi, and says, "You should talk to the Hokage, Iruka I know he will be able to help you."
Iruka looks shocked saying, "The Hokage! Kakashi have you gone mad he will put me jail for even thinking such a thing." Kakashi puts his hand on his friend's shoulder, and says, "Trust me the Hokage doesn't want to jail his best teacher."
Iruka thinks about it for a moment perhaps Kakashi was right, and the Hokage was more interested in helping him out. Finally, Iruka says, "I shall go there right away."
Then Iruka leaves heading to the Hokage's office as Kakashi wonders what undercover mission his sister is on pretending to be a Genin from the mist village. He had to see her cover so he scheduled a group sparring match with all the Sensei as a good training opportunity.
Iruka arrives at the Hokage's office, and is allowed to enter the Hokage asks, "What seems to be the problem?" Iruka says, "I regret to tell you that I have fallen in love with a student." The Hokage raised an eyebrow, and asks, "Which student is this?"
Iruka replies, "The new transfer Kia I bumped into her in the library, and we kissed by accident." The Hokage chuckles, and says, "You'll have to wait to date her Iruka she is on a mission at the moment." Iruka asks confused, "What do you mean she is on a mission?"
The Hokage replies, "I'm sorry Iruka but you'll have to wait until the mission is over to find out revealing too much will put her life in danger but when her mission is over I will call you into my office." Iruka replies, "Ok thank you." He leaves wondering what is going on, and why the Hokage was being so secretive.
Kakashi enjoys seeing Kiyomi as a Genin and notices she makes sure not to do anything too obvious that she's, in fact, a Jonin sticking primarily to Genin, and Chunin moves he's very impressed when Kiyomi's Kunai fly straight until he noticed Shikamaru helping her. He couldn't help but to chuckle over her resourcefulness, and that she had chosen to trust Shikamaru with her true identity.
