Chapter Twenty Six - Preparations

As Kakashi had told their friends, he and Iruka had agreed they would marry in a month, maximum two. So, preparations were being taken care of.

Iruka had to berate himself for almost drooling at the sight of his almost naked fiancée. Kakashi was standing in his boxers, as still as he could, Konoha's best tailor taking his measures. A piece of some dark cloth hung loosely on him, about to become his new formal kimono, in which he was going to marry Iruka.

Kakashi caught his future husband's hungry gaze and leered at him, but the effect was lost under the mask (because of the tailor) and a loud sneeze.

"Hatake san, stay still!", the tailor, Sato Ichimaru, scolded him and Iruka laughed.

"Umino san, you're next!", Sato said and Kakashi leered again.


As the more responsible of the two Iruka took care of the invitations, decorations (the ceremony was going to be in the garden, they had agreed), the party afterwards (there again, in a stylish marquee) and every other detail.

"Are we sure we only invited 25 guests? You look like you've taken a third job!", Kakashi said in a fit of guilt.

"25. Yes. Busy now. Talk later. Sex when you're healthy. Be gone now!", Iruka said, brows furrowed in concentration, and Kakashi had to exit the room, fast, only to burst in laugher outside.


Kakashi had told Iruka there should be some decorations left from his mother (the woman had been crazy about decorations and it could still be seen in some cozy rooms she had made and Kakashi had shown Iruka), so Iruka went looking for said decorations to see if he could use anything.

That was an hour ago.

"KAKASHI!", a yell rang in the mansion.

With a puff of smoke and a sneeze Kakashi teleported himself next to Iruka.

"Yo."

"I think I found the perfect room for the child!"

"…"

"What now?", Iruka snapped.

"I thought we'll discuss the matter again… in a few months after the wedding. You said you needed time…"

"Well yes, I just happened to find this room…"

"…"

"WHAT?.!"

"It's in the eastern wing, Ru. Our bedroom is like in the other side of the house. How fast can you run when a baby cries and you're too dazed from sleep to make any hand seals?"

"…"

"You got lost again, didn't you?", Kakashi grinned.

Iruka sweatdropped. "…Yes."

Kakashi laughed, hugging his fiancée. "Come now. I think it's time for that map of yours."


Iruka came back from work, a bit grumpy that Kakashi hadn't picked him up. "I'm getting spoiled…", he mentally scolded himself, walking through the heavy double gates of the outer fence of the Hatake compound.

Suddenly, a very excited Copy Nin came out of some bushes (oh, Kami, bad thoughts, bad thoughts!), grabbed Iruka's hand and dragged them both back from where he had emerged (even WORSE thoughts!).

"Come see that…!"

"Kakashi, calm down! Stop pulling me! What!"

"See!"

"… A pond."

"INSIDE!"

"Oh… koi."

"YES!"

"You sound like Gai today…"

Kakashi pouted, then gestured enthusiastically to the pond.

"Just… look at them, what do you see?"

"Koi. Why are they only two?"

Kakashi sighed.

"It's you and me. Hopefully one day there would be three koi, then four…"

"…"

"What?"

"Which one is you and which one is me?"

"I'm the one with the bigger fins."

Iruka gasped, indignantly.

"My… "fin" is not smaller than yours!"

Kakashi leered. "Wanna go to our own pond to check?", he asked nodding in the direction of their bedroom.

Iruka smacked him with his teacher satchel. "You… pervert! Oh, how am I gonna spend my life with you, I wonder?"

"… Satisfied."

"…"

Iruka couldn't come up with a comeback. It was true after all.
