Kakashi groaned the next morning. He felt so warm and so content that he didn't want to move. It confused him though as why he wanted to wake up in the first place. Something had woken him up but he didn't know what.
There! Kakashi thought as a weird sensation went over his head and down his neck.
Snapping his eyes open, he was dazed. For a few seconds he couldn't do anything of the sort. The moment he opened his eyes he had to close them. Though it was dark in the den that he and Iruka had shared, it was that dizziness that you would get after just waking up.
When the sensation came back Kakashi attempted to shake his head to get the thing off of him. A yelp was heard as Kakashi hit something with his head. The thing he hit wasn't the only one in pain after that one. The whole side of his head now was throbbing in time with pain.
"Ouch, Kakashi!"
The sound of the pained voice brought Kakashi out of his daze. He knew that voice.
"Iruka?"
"The one and only." Iruka replied as he shook his own head to shake off the hit.
"I'm sorry." Kakashi apologized immediately when he saw that he was the one who had hurt Iruka. Iruka was in front of him lying on the ground on his side. The hit from his head knocked him off harder than he thought.
"Its okay, Kakashi, it was my fault anyway." Iruka said as he rolled over onto his stomach.
"What?" Kakashi asked confused. "Why say that? I was the one who hit you."
Then Kakashi looked at Iruka suspiciously. "What were you doing anyway?"
Iruka smiled. "I was cleaning you off."
"What?" Kakashi gaped at him.
"I was cleaning you off." Iruka repeated himself. "I thought it was appropriate since you cleaned me last night but being the stubborn wolf you are, you didn't clean yourself."
Iruka shot Kakashi a look. "Though, I thought that was the whole point to begin with was so you could get clean."
"Hehe…" Kakashi laughed sheepishly. If he were human he would be scratching the back of his neck out of habit.
A silence covered them as they didn't know what to say. Kakashi was still lying down and would move once in awhile but Iruka was squirming around obviously wanted to do or say something but was too scare or nervous to do anything.
"Kakashi?" Iruka called out.
"Yeah?"
"Would you—do you want me to finish? Or do you want to do it yourself?" Iruka asked nervously.
Kakashi stuttered unable to form words in the question.
Iruka turned his glaze from Kakashi knowing he was just rejected. "Sorry. I know that must seem awkward for me to ask."
"No, its fine." Kakashi found his voice.
Surprise entered Iruka's eyes. "Really?"
Kakashi nodded "Uh-huh. Besides you let me clean you. So, why not?"
"Alright then." Iruka said as he got up and want back to work cleaning Kakashi.
Kakashi sighed as Iruka started cleaning his fur. It was nice and it felt like he was at a spa or something, getting a rubdown. If this was how a wolf felt having someone else clean their fur then Kakashi wouldn't mind having Iruka do this all of the time.
"Kakashi?" Iruka brought him to attention.
"Yea, Iruka?" Kakashi replied to the other wolf.
"I was thinking back about my promise to you."
"What promise?" Kakashi asked confused.
Iruka chuckled some as he licked Kakashi's head. "The one where I would help train you."
"Iruka…" Kakashi's voice trailed off. "I didn't think you meant it."
Iruka just shook his head. Kakashi would think the strangest things sometimes but Iruka just guessed it was the human inside of him coming up every now and then.
"Of course I meant it, silly. I wouldn't have said it if I didn't mean it. I was thinking about starting your training today in fact."
"Really?" Iruka didn't have to look at Kakashi to know that the silver wolf was excited.
"Yeah, but let me finish what I'm doing and lets eat before we do anything."
Kakashi nodded accepting the answer but it didn't stop him from being jumpy. He was finally going to be helpful. He wouldn't have to rely on Iruka anymore. Not like that was a bad thing but Kakashi felt helpless during those times. He felt that he was using Iruka for nothing more then a guide of sorts.
That's not how Hatake Kakashi was. He didn't take without giving. He wasn't some bum free loader. He was a hard working man and it didn't felt right to take without giving something in return. And if given a chance to prove his was worth something, he was not going to let it pass.

"I think they are the cutest couple!" Anko squealed.
Asuma who was next to her rolled his eyes though the statement wasn't that far off. It was late morning and every wolf residing in the dens were out and about ready to get their morning meal.
A howl had been heard not long ago signaling that the hunters had returned with food. Asuma, who had been awake since dawn, was eager to get his fill of food for the day. When he went to get his food he bumped into Anko who was also there. It wasn't long before they saw Iruka coming up with Kakashi.
Anko was keeping an eye on them as they entered the eating area. Though Asuma wouldn't admit it, he too was watching them closely. They watched as Kakashi friends came up to them and they watched Iruka grab the largest rabbit and the second largest for Kakashi and his friends.
Asuma was next to get his food and then Anko was up right next to him. They grabbed their food and waited as others grabbed their own as well. Once every wolf who had the right to eat first had grabbed their full of food Iruka took the first bit followed by Kakashi.
It was then Anko squealed like she did. Once Iruka took a bit or two from the rabbit he had nudged it over to Kakashi for him to eat. Kakashi had blushed and opened his mouth to refuse but Asuma had seen Iruka shake his head and promptly ordered Kakashi to eat. Indeed it was a cute sight but Asuma was also concerned.
Iruka was still injured and was still healing. He needed his strength but like he had expected from Iruka as one would expect form a mate he wanted to take care of Kakashi first and him second. What Iruka didn't take in account was that Kakashi was a nobody.
Yes, Kakashi was special but according to pack standards, he was a visitor; someone who should be respected but not someone who should came first like Iruka was making it. Iruka, on the other hand, was Alpha and he should be coming first, not second. Asuma knew it was a little crude to thing like that but he was just looking after Iruka.
Kakashi was fine and healthy. He was not wounded and he was not hurting or looking after a pack. Asuma knew that if Kakashi were anyone else Iruka would think the same. Asuma clearly saw that Iruka wanted to take Kakashi has a mate but to Asuma the silver wolf showed no signs of wanting to be such. He was just there, not knowing what to do; he acted like a cub.
With a snort, Asuma abandoned his half eaten food and went over to Iruka and Kakashi. From his abandonment of food, others who didn't get a rabbit or deer scurried over to it and some even fought over it to get their meal first. Asuma rolled his eyes at them. Most of the wolves who weren't allowed to eat first had reasons why they couldn't eat before anyone else and Asuma was seeing why.

Iruka was smiling at Kakashi. The little wolf was blushing from his gesture of the food. He knew that Kakashi was hungry and Iruka didn't mind all that much giving his meal to Kakashi, in Iruka's mind, he was worth it.
Besides... Iruka thought. If I feel that hungry, I'll just go out and hunt something.
With that in mind he let Kakashi eat his rabbit. That was when Iruka turned his glaze towards the rest of his pack. Everyone was eating and if they weren't they would be soon. He could see Baki and his cubs off in the corner of his eye and he smiled at them. It was nice to see them eating and seeing the cubs play around while Baki scowled at them to sit down and eat. The only one's he didn't see were Gai and his cubs about.
Iruka frowned at that. He could understand if say Gai wasn't hungry but cubs need to interact with the pack as they grow and even if Gai himself wasn't hungry didn't mean the cubs weren't. With a sigh Iruka could only hope that Gai would hunt for himself and feed his cubs.
"Iruka." the brown wolf heard his name being called. Iruka turned towards the voice and was surprised to see Asuma in front of him. Something in Asuma's eyes told Iruka that whatever this was about, it was serious.
"Yes, Asuma." Iruka replied. "Is there something you wish to talk about?"
Asuma nodded. "Yes, there is. Please follow me."
Iruka watched Asuma leave. Something was wrong.
"Kakashi."
Kakashi was already looking at Iruka; he had heard what Asuma said.
"I know, I know." Kakashi said playfully. "You got to do Alpha stuff, I got it."
Iruka smiled at Kakashi's attitude. It was refreshing to say the least about how Kakashi reacted sometimes. Iruka would have to say that's what he liked most about Kakashi but having a nice shiny fur with a great body figure and very unique eyes was a nice touch.
"I'll be back soon, promise." Iruka told him and gave a lick on the cheek.
Kakashi blushed as a couple of wolves near by howled out from the action. It confused him. He didn't know what the lick meant. If felt like a kiss but in a wolf way. That couldn't be right.
Kakashi shook his head. Iruka didn't like him in that way, could he? Kakashi didn't know the answer to that but it would seem that the other wolves here did. They knew something that he didn't and it bothered him.

"So, what is it did you want to take about Asuma?" Iruka asked when they were out of ear shot of everyone else.
Asuma turned around to face Iruka.
"Look," Asuma said. "I don't skip around things, so I'm just going to say it. I don't like how you treat Kakashi with giving your food away for him."
Iruka bristled at the comment. He narrowed his eyes and saw red. "What I do or don't do is not your concern when it comes to Kakashi!"
Asuma was now narrowing his own eyes as well. "No…!" he yelled sarcastically. "But what is my concern is that you are wounded, you are weak, and you are not eating! Don't say you're not because I have been watching you Iruka!"
Iruka took a step back on that one. His eyes widening but then lowered them in shame.
"Iruka…" Asuma said softly. "Why are you doing that?"
"I can't help it." he finally said.
"Why Iruka?" Asuma asked.
Iruka sighed not able to keep it in.
"When I saw him about ready to be killed by Orochimaru…I haven't felt like that in a long time. I felt afraid. I thought I was going to lose him. That was something I couldn't bare to lose. I can't lose him Asuma, I can't."
"Iruka, you're not-"
"Don't say I'm not going to lose him Asuma, don't!" Iruka shouted. His shoulder shook and to Asuma he thought Iruka was going to cry.
"Please don't say such things Asuma." Iruka pleaded. "I'm going to lose him no matter what I do, so please don't give me false hope."
"But you're not…" Asuma tried.
"But I will!" Iruka's eyes teared up but he shook them away. He wasn't going to cry, not now! "I'm going to either lose him to Orochimaru or to himself! Even if we defeat Orochimaru or not he still wants to become human again. I'm going to lose him either way!"
"Iruka…" Asuma was at a lost. He didn't mean for this to happen. All he wanted was for Iruka to stop putting himself in harms way for Kakashi. But now he knew the nightmares that haunted Iruka's mind everyday.
"Please, Asuma, just don't." Iruka sounded so tired at the moment that Asuma couldn't believe that it was still the same Iruka he was just talking to a minute ago.
"I'm sorry."
Iruka looked at him with the most tired eyes Asuma has even seen in a long time.
"Yeah, Asuma, me too."
