Chapter 2: Frost Bitten
*(\/)*/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\*(\/)*
Naruto sat in the house. Iruka's house was fitting for a small family and why wouldn't it be, this house was built by his father and was full of so many memories of the dead parents that died because.. Naruto felt sick. It was horrible being in that house alone. * I'll go for a walk* he said to himself with a smug smile.
Naruto went outside wearing some of Iruka's cloths to help keep him warm. He began to head down the poorly lit streets. * I wonder how Iruka is doing. With all that paper work I would bet he is wishing he could be with me right now.* The blond boy said to himself with a snicker; visualizing Iruka in tears over a mountain of paperwork. Naruto felt a warm chill. * That's odd* he thought. * That chill felt warm but its freezing outside.* He noticed a figure walking towards him.
The dark shadow was obviously in deep thought because he didn't even notice Naruto. Naruto sneezed all the sudden scaring the poor shadow to death and getting a few kunai thrown at him. "Sasuke?" Naruto glared at his rival. "Why did you scare me like that you Idiot! What did I ever do to you?" The black haired boy yelled at the blond who was shaking from becoming cold all the sudden. Naruto felt his feet get really cold. He had been walking for about 2 hours and didn't even notice. He felt a warm arm lean up on him to help him keep his balance.
"What?" Naruto looked at the black haired boy. Sasuke just continued to help Naruto walk back. After about half an hour Sasuke asked "Where do you live?" Naruto looked up to hi surprise he had almost fallen asleep on Sasuke's shoulder. "Oh? I'm staying with Iruka for now, So it's the yellow house for about 2 more blocks." They continued to walk in silence until reaching the destination. Naruto could finally feel his feet again when they touched something other than snow. He slowly climbed up the steps with Sasuke close behind t make sure the weary boy wouldn't collapse.
As Naruto turned the doorknob and entered a hot room he saw Iruka was still gone. Sasuke has somehow followed him in the house. Naruto turned around to see Sasuke looking around absorbing the house. "Hey." Sasuke jumped back startled by Naruto who had collapsed on the couch. "Its really late maybe you should stay here for the night." Naruto glanced at Sasuke hoping that he wouldn't be left alone.
*(\/)*/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\*(\/)*
Iruka was heading back to his housed now. * Wow it is later than I expected I hope Naruto isn't mad. * Iruka thought to himself and started to recall what Kakashi said.
"Lets chat then." Kakashi stared at Iruka for a few seconds then continued. "Something has been bothering me lately and when I ask the Hokage what I should do he said to go to the source" Kakashi glanced up at Iruka and smiled. "but you see," he continued, "I wanted to get some advice from you first. To tell you the truth I was hoping to be able and put this off until next year and that's why I said we could talk about it for New Years." Iruka stared at Kakashi before he smiled. "Well friend, I'm honored you came for advice. Personally its surprising that you came to me." Iruka stated. "How so?" "Well your older than me by a few years so I figured you would go to people your age." The chunin began to blush, "How can I help you?"
"I think I might be in trouble." Kakashi glanced at Iruka who was thinking hard on the matter. "What kind of trouble? You didn't do anything perverted did you?" The chunin glared at his friend. "No, No I told you before that I went to the Hokage first and he would've killed me. Seriously I think people just label me some time." Kakashi pretend to cry. "There there, so what kind of trouble is it?" "Its love I think."
Iruka had his hand on his forehead. It was really cold, he hated this season, and now he was confused. "I wont get any sleep tonight." Iruka said to himself aloud. He slowly entered his house hoping not to wake up Naruto; that is if the boy was asleep; to his surprise he found the boy asleep next to Sasuke. "...." Sasuke was lying on the couch wrapped in blankets and next to him was Naruto holding on to the black haired boy's ankle.
"They're going to get sick like that." Iruka said to himself. Iruka put covers over the boys and got Naruto to let go of Sasuke's ankle so he could put both of them in a bed. Naruto went to his usual room; for when he stayed at the chunin's house; and Sasuke was in Iruka's room. Iruka laughed at him self, trying to think of reasons Sasuke was over here but decided he would find out in the morning. Iruka looked around his living room, * I knew I would be able to get any sleep tonight. Why did Kakashi have to vanish right after that I wanted to ask him questions myself. I should've followed him but there was still paperwork that had to be done. * That was a long night.
*(\/)*/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\*(\/)*
Kakashi had the best sleep he had ever had in ages.
He was heading into town to see if he could find any members of team 7. " I know the hokage said no training but I'm sure they wouldn't mind sparring against me today. I need to think; it helps when I'm fighting someone." Kakashi said aloud just as he spotted Sakura. "Hey Kakashi-sensei, I was wondering if you saw Sasuke?" Her smile never left her face. "No, but I'm looking for them, do you think they would mind sparring with me today? I hope you wouldn't mind?" Kakashi said with his eyes curved showing that he was smiling under his mask. She stared at him with a depressed look.
" I would love to but I have to help my family out at the shop today, you know tis' the season." She looked bored but Kakashi just told her that she could fight him later. He came to Naruto's house but then remembered Iruka saying something about Naruto staying over at his place. He smirked. " Good morning Iruka!!" yelled Naruto as he was trying to find where Sasuke was placed. "He's in the my room, but don't wake him up yet okay. Not everyone is a morning person you know." Iruka looked at Naruto who just smiled back. "I'm an all day person Iruka-sensei." The blond just smiled. "So why is Sasuke here?" Iruka looked over at Naruto who seemed to be lost in thought.
"I helped Naruto out last night, he invited me over since it was really late." The chunin looked over to the door Sasuke had just come out of. "Thank you for helping him, I hope I didn't sound rude." Iruka said with a smile. * "Don't worry, and Thank you for letting me stay here but I think I best be going now." The black haired boy bowed but before he could open the door Naruto jumped him. "Hey don't be a jerk! You said we could do some sparring today!" yelled the blond before Sasuke hit him. "Your such an idiot who would want to spar this early in the morning?" Sasuke yelled back but just then the door opened.
"Hey Iruka is ..Jackpot!" Kakashi leaned over his two students. "I didn't know you kept such good company Iruka. Hey boys I want to spar with you guys. Got the time?" The jounin quickly glanced at Iruka who obviously didn't have any sleep. "Are you feeling okay?" He hoped that Iruka didn't stay up all night trying to help him out with his "problem". * "Yeah let's spar!" screamed Naruto as he headed off. "I'll be back later Iruka, if your not here I'll go by the old man's office okay!" with that the blond was gone; leaving behind three people. Sasuke just shook his head and followed the boy . Kakashi just grinned at Iruka who was giving a death glare. "You know I want to ask you some questions right?" Iruka said with force in his tone. "I'll answer all the ones I can as soon as we are done sparring. Okay?" Kakashi vanished before Iruka could reply. * Man, he is starting to get on my nerves. *
*(\/)*/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\*(\/)*Sasuke's POV
We sparred for about two hours before Naruto passed out. Kakashi seemed to be thinking about something but it proved to help him fight and not distract him. I asked him what he thought about and he just smiled and told me to take Naruto to Iruka-sensei's house. He vanished. "Naruto your heavy." I complained as I held the blond on my back. I put the boy down and decided to rest for a bit. * He's kind of cute when he is asleep. Ack! What am I thinking he's my rival. I hated him and * My thoughts were cut off Naruto shivering in the snow. "I better get you some where warm quick." I continued to drag the blond.
When I came to Iruka's house the door was unlocked. I placed Naruto on the couch. * He's such an idiot. * I looked over at him when his eyes began to open. "Hey, HEY YOU JERK where have you taken me!" Naruto yelled but the realized he was in Iruka's apartment. "You passed out, your such an idiot. You knew that Kakashi wouldn't take it easy on us." I glared at the boy who was trying to sit up. " All I need is a good nap and I'll be fine, so you can just go." The blond fell on me. The idiot was trying to hard to kick me out that he actually fell on me.
I opened my eyes to see his eyes wide. Those warm blue eyes staring at me. He had his arms on my shoulders and my legs were in between his. His face turned bright red. We didn't move for a long time and just sat there staring at each other. I leaned forward to try and sit myself up when we kissed. I didn't mean to do that it just happened; and now here we are staring at each other; with lip-to-lip contact. "Ahem." We both jumped away as fast as we could and turned to the noise. "Ka.Kakashi-sensei?" I said at the silver haired man who just stood there laughing. By now mine and Naruto's faces were red. "sorry 'snicker' Didn't mean to disturb you guys. 'snicker' I was wondering" He couldn't finish his sentence he just laughed.
When we finally told Kakashi what happened he didn't seem to care. Kakashi left as soon as Naruto informed him about all the areas he would most likely find Iruka-sensei. * Crap now we are alone again. Maybe I should leave. * I thought to myself. "Hey Sasuke?" I turned to face Naruto. "I was wondering about something."
*(\/)*/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\*(\/)*
Iruka was next to a pile of papers. *Why do they seem to grow quicker than weeds around here* He thought to himself. Iruka felt two arms wrap around his neck. "Kakashi?" the chunin turned around to see one eye smiling at him. "I'm here to answer your questions, maybe that will help with my problem." Kakashi said still smiling. "Yeah," Iruka's face was red from the hug he just received, "So who and when are my first questions."
* Good thing I went sparring that really helped. I owe the boys some ramen, especially Naruto because I was hard on him. * Kakashi thought to himself. "Well, I wont get into the who just yet but it was probably maybe a few weeks ago when I started feeling strange, what I believe the Hokage called 'love' towards that person." "Wow, only a few weeks. Are you sure its not just an infatuation?" "Actually that's my problem. How can I tell the difference?" "Maybe you should go to the person and try to decide what you like about the person. Make sure its not you being shallow but its from the heart." Iruka felt like a teacher teaching his student, but in reality he was giving advice to a man he had come to respect.
"What if I like everything about them?" Kakashi leaned in closer to Iruka. "Like what?" Iruka laughed. "Their laugh for example." "Maybe it is love but the only way to find out is to be with that person. If they don't return the feelings then it wasn't meant to be or you can try and try 'till the person sees what you feel." Iruka started blushing, * maybe I should take my own advice. * He laughed to himself. Iruka stood up and stretched. He looked around the room to make sure all the paperwork was done and then turned back to Kakashi. He hadn't realized how close Kakashi had gotten to him. "Did I help any?" He asked looking at the jounin who stood right in front of him. "Iruka." "Yes, Kakashi-sensei." "Heh, that's the first time you called me sensei in awhile." Kakashi chuckled. "Do you," silence "How do you feel about me?"
*(\/)*/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\*(\/)*
Well there you go!! That was Chapter 2. Not originally what I intended, but I like it. Please tell me what you think! I promise no more seppuku threats as long as I keep getting reviews. (puts away sword) See ya next chapter that should be here soon. * smile *
