Chapter 5: The Chills of a New Enemy
(\/)*\/\/*\/\/*\/\/*\/\/*\/\/*\/\/*\/\/*(\/)
Naruto's POV
I can't believe Sasuke is acting like nothing happened! This is beyond aggravating. I looked up at him, I could swear he had a smirk on his face but in reality he was just expressionless. Is he teasing me when he gets so close to my face?
"About what Naruto?" Sasuke's voice seemed softer when he said it.
I started to mumble some stuff but when he leaned in so close that I wouldn't be able to lose eye contact I froze. If he is the one leading me on than does that make him the seme? Ack! What am I thinking?
"Why did you .kiss me?" I was finally was able to say something but my stomach turned in the process. He gave me a small smile; why wouldn't he smile my face was so red that by the time I could finish talking that I was a strawberry with blond hair!
I didn't notice his hand had moved until it started playing with my hair. At this I closed my eyes. I didn't know what I should do I mean I've never really done anything with anyone guy or girl. I felt his arm push me down slowly on Iruka's bed. Maybe I shouldn't have brought him in here, we could of chatted in the kitchen. No bed.
I think he likes to be on top; is what I was thinking when he climbed over me and kissed me. He hadn't really talked much since we got in the room but he sure was doing a lot. He grabbed my chin and kissed me again this time though it was longer. Believe it or not I liked it when he acted as if he was in control.
But I loved it when he wasn't.
I slid out from underneath him and leaned my back against the wall. He smirked at me and crawled over. I wonder what his real smile was like. He pinned me down with both his hands.
"So you can't escape." Sasuke's smirk was full of trouble, and I knew trouble.
He kissed me again but this time I opened my mouth to let his tongue in. He was surprised at first but started getting into it. It wasn't until he started putting his hand under my shirt that I felt like we were being watched.
"Ahem." We froze and slowly turned our heads to see Kakashi was trying to calm down Iruka, who had started shaking. Kakashi just smiled under his mask while he counted in his head. *3, 2, 1 *
"YOU BOYS ARE WAY, WAY, WAAAAAAAAY TO YOUNG TO BE DOING THAT!" the chunin finally yelled as he marched over to us.
"Iruka! You're okay. You have no idea how worried I was." I pushed Sasuke off and ran over to Iruka.
"Yeah! You looked pretty worried over there in MY bed, didn't ya?" Iruka continued to yell at me and lecture me on how young men shouldn't be doing that. Normally I would complain but seeing Iruka back to normal made me smile. "And what are you smiling at? This is not FUNNY!" Iruka continued.
Sasuke just sat on the bed and smirked. He was happy Iruka was okay. Kakashi sat next to him.
"Hey, hey, hey! Sasuke! You little dog; way to go for the blond!" Kakashi chuckled as he nudged Sasuke causing the black haired boy to blush slightly. When Iruka saw this he began to yell at Kakashi for encouraging our behavior,
"Oh come on Iruka! You just got better and your already acting like a teacher. Why not act like you were acting a few minutes ago?" Kakashi whined causing Iruka to blush. I sat next to Sasuke to watch the mellow drama in better view.
(ps: Kakashi meant Iruka should be acting all submissive like he was when they were kissing not go back to being unconscious ~ p-sama7)
"But I was their teacher so I feel like I shoul." Iruka was cut off by a cloth-covered kiss from Kakashi. I tried to get up and pry my sensei off Iruka who was like a brother to me but was stopped when Sasuke grabbed me. It wasn't long before Kakashi won Iruka over and we got out of the lecture.

This was a ninja village. As soon as things came they left without a trace. The snowstorm was no different. The village went as if nothing happened; only snow on the ground could prove otherwise.
Christmas was coming up soon so the village was in a quicker rush than usual.
Gai took in a deep breath of the crisp winter air. He looked around the view of the Hidden Leaf village before he leapt towards the rooftops.
"Rock Lee! Have you found Kakashi yet?" He yelled to a green blur that was passing by him on the ground.
"No not yet sensei, but I heard he was heading over to the school. Should I keep looking?" Lee stopped right in front of his sensei, and gave a pose.
"No. But if you would like, you could come with me over to the school." Gai smiled at the mini version of himself. Lee nodded and they headed towards the school.
(\/)*\/\/*\/\/*\/\/*\/\/*\/\/*\/\/*\/\/*(\/)
"Kakashi!" Iruka tried to push off the man that was pressing him against a wall. "Not at school! I work here!" The chunin whined.
Kakashi just smiled and pulled down his mask to give Iruka a real kiss. By this the chunin was silent and wrapped his arms around Kakashi's neck. Kakashi placed his hands on the chunin's waist and picked him up, causing a small gasp but didn't allow any complaining by not letting their lips separate. He placed Iruka on the big desk.
It had been awhile since they had seen each other since the storm because Kakashi had to go on a mission. They loved the time they spent together but Iruka always preferred private places while Kakashi didn't care. He had finally convinced Iruka to let them make-out at the school.
(\/)*\/\/*\/\/*\/\/*\/\/*\/\/*\/\/*\/\/*(\/)
Gai entered the building followed closely by Lee.
"So why are we looking for Kakashi-sensei?" Rock Lee smiled up at his hero.
"Because it was my turn to come up with a competition to fight over today and since I know what we should do I thought we could go ahead and fight!" Gai did his good guy pose for Lee and then turned the next corner.
Gai turned to Lee, "What are your plans for today?"
Lee smiled, "I'm going to train after this, and then I'm going to find Sakura-chan, after that I will challenge Neji. Then do some more training." The boy beamed with pride over his schedule.
Gai laughed then stopped when he noticed Lee's face change. "What is it Lee?" Lee just continued to look straight ahead and pointed. When Gai looked up his face went pale.
Kakashi was making out with another man.
(\/)*\/\/*\/\/*\/\/*\/\/*\/\/*\/\/*\/\/*(\/)
Kakashi moved his hands up to Iruka's hair and undid the ponytail. He then moved away from the desk to get a good view of the man he loved.
Iruka's face was red from blushing and he sat on the desk leaving one leg hanging off. He looked over at Kakashi and ran his hand through his hair.
"Am I what you expected?" Iruka smiled at Kakashi. Kakashi smiled and walked back to the desk to give the chunin another kiss.
"No, you're so much better." He whispered as he kissed Iruka's forehead.
Kakashi felt a chill at that moment and put his mask back on. Iruka was startled by this and glanced around the room, only to see Gai and Lee staring at them with their mouths wide open and their faces paler that ghosts.
"I.Iruka?" Lee cried. "You and.You.Kakashi.and.You?"
"." Gai looked down at Lee and pushed him away, "Lee go ahead and do your training. This was just an illusion Kakashi put up. You know how perverted he is." Lee just nodded and glanced back at the scene before he took off running. Gai turned around.
"THIS IS A PUBLIC PLACE YOU...!" Kakashi cut off Gai's scream by putting his hand over the instructor's mouth.
"What do you want Gai?" Kakashi spoke with a really annoyed tone. Iruka quickly hit him on the head.
"Is there anything we can do for you Gai-sensei?" Iruka nervously smiled.
"Ummm.. No, you can't do anything for me Iruka. I came here to challenge Kakashi." Gai said in a daze as he grabbed Kakashi's hand away from his mouth. Kakashi stared at Iruka than Gai than Iruka again,
"I'm busy." WHAP! Another hit on the head. Kakashi glared at Iruka who was trying to snap Gai out of his daze.
"What was the challenge?" Kakashi looked at Gai who finally regained consciousness.
"Ti...Tic-Tac-Toe." He muttered loud enough for Kakashi to hear. "We already did that." Gai looked at Kakashi who was now fixing up Iruka's desk.
"Then what should we do?" Gai glared over at Kakashi.
"How about you both declare yourselves equals and get over this rivalry?" Iruka said as he was given the death glare from both parties.
There was a moment of silence then the school bell rang causing all three ninjas to jump. Iruka ran to his desk and quickly fixed his hair back into a ponytail. He would hate to look unprofessional in front of his students even if he was only a basic skills teacher.
"I guess I better go and show up to meet my team on time today. I mean since we were interrupted earlier." Kakashi shot another glare at Gai then vanished.
(\/)*\/\/*\/\/*\/\/*\/\/*\/\/*\/\/*\/\/*(\/)
In the middle of the forest laid out a picnic. Three genins were sitting there. Sasuke was on the right side picking some flowers while Sakura was stuffing her face with ramen. In the left side sat Naruto who was reading a book.
With a poof of smoke there stood Kakashi wide eyed in the middle of his blanket.
"What are ya'll doing?" He chuckled.
"Did you actually think we would wait for you without doing anything?" Sakura said with a mouth full of ramen.
"No. I mean why are you all mixed up? Sakura should be picking flowers, Sasuke should be reading, and Naruto should be the one stuffing his face with ramen." The teacher smiled at his students. The genins began to blush slightly the looked up at their sensei.
"What are you doing here so early?" Sasuke glared at Kakashi.
"I got interrupted in the middle of.I decided to show up on time for once." Kakashi thought twice before telling them the truth. Naruto and Sasuke already knew but he didn't want Sakura to react the same way Lee did. Iruka just had such a good relationship with his students; it would be a shame if it changed.
(\/)*\/\/*\/\/*\/\/*\/\/*\/\/*\/\/*\/\/*(\/)
Team 7 completed all their missions in no time; from finding a lost puppy to delivering documents to the hokage. It was a long day but every once in awhile funny things would happen.
Sakura glared at Naruto with such force he had begun to shiver. Sasuke stood up from the pool of mud and cleaned himself off.
"WHY DID YOU PUSH MY SASUKE?" Sakura yelled as she began to beat Naruto to a bloody pulp.
"I.didn't mean.to.please.STOP.HITTING ME!" Naruto was finally able to dodge one of her punches but ended up falling in the mud pool himself.
"Please Naruto! I know that you and Sasuke are rivals but you don't have to so childish!" Sakura yelled as Naruto cleaned himself off.
"I told you I didn't mean to! Why would I after we ." Naruto was cut off by Sasuke's hand over his mouth. Sakura just stared at them.
"What?" She stared down at Naruto who was slightly blushing and Sasuke whose face expression didn't show anything.
"Sakura!" Kakashi popped out of nowhere nest to the pink haired girl. She nearly had a heart attack but regained her composure. "Sakura, I need you to move out near gate 5. I got tips that there was an orange kitten lurking in that area."
"Roger!" with that she vanished and Kakashi stared down at the two boys who sighed. Naruto began to glare at Sasuke while Sasuke just looked away.
"You boys can finish this later. Fluffy can't find her way home and its up to us to save her!" Kakashi chuckled as he listened to himself, "Naruto your at gate 7 and Sasuke your at gate 1! Go!"
With that the boys vanished leaving Kakashi to himself. He heard some mumbling coming out of his headset and vanished. It wasn't long before Fluffy was safe at home with her young masters. Sakura left once she heard that there would be no more missions that day, totally forgetting the incident that happened earlier. Naruto hit Sasuke and vanished leaving a very pissed off boy with his sensei.
"Why is he so childish?" Sasuke asked the sky but instead got an answer from the man standing next to him.
"Because you both are stubborn brats." Kakashi had the bored look on his face but smiled when he saw Sasuke glare at him. "He hates to be blamed or accused for something he didn't do. Heck! I would be to if thats what most people did to me constantly, but you didn't let him defend himself. He lost some of his pride so you could protect yours."
Sasuke thought about it for a while then nodded and headed off towards Naruto's apartment walking slowly. Kakashi smiled at his pupil then looked at the setting sun. He wondered if Iruka was still at the school.

Gai's POV
I am a sensible man. Or so I thought. I noticed my flaw when I saw Kakashi with Iruka this morning. I all the sudden felt very.jealous.
I never realized how much I really thought of Kakashi in the day till after. I had always thought of ways to beat him, ways to challenge him, ways to look better than him. While I accomplished all those things, except for the beating, I never realized that he took up most my thoughts.
Of course I thought of Lee. He was after all like a son to me. I also thought of my team and students. But Kakashi; I would never forget to think about him. Now I couldn't stop thinking of him. I never realized how much I didn't know him.
We grew up together. We fought battles together. We even saved each other's lives now and then to make sure the other wasn't trying to skip out on our rivalry. But I didn't know much more than how to fight him and his common interests. Yes, I knew his background which was a mystery to almost the whole Hidden Leaf Village but, now what did I have.
He had Iruka.
Some one he could be with unless it was for a quick time of fun but knowing Kakashi he wouldn't dive into anything unless he knew it would last; unless it was a battle that is. He seemed to like small quick battles better than the long ones.
What am I thinking! Here I am moping over Hayate Kakashi! Why?
The only time its okay to mope is when you're mourning over your someone special.
NO! It couldn't be.could it?
I worked so hard my whole life just to come near the same skill he had but for what purpose? Was it so I could get his attention? Did I take advantage of his rivalry only to let it slip away? I could have gotten him to meet me anytime anyplace to do whatever stupid thing I wanted; as long as it was concerning competition;
and yet.
I saw Kakashi walking towards the school. He seemed to be in deep thought. Probably over Iruka. This was my chance to see for myself.
"Kakashi! YO!" I screamed waving my hands for him to come over to me. He stared at me for a sec than starting making his way over. He still acknowledged me. I was wrong, I should be happy for him to be with someone after all I want to find someone special for me one day.
"Hey Gai." Kakashi said in his melancholy voice.
"Something wrong?" That was weird. He would normally give me a glare or challenge me. Something was up.
"Nothing. Just a long day of nonsense." He smiled at me. "Hey Gai I will talk to you later okay I'm kind of busy right now."
I felt a sting in my chest but nodded. He vanished.
Why did I get that painful chill all of the sudden? I felt like I was losing something important to me. That's when I realized how I felt. I had somewhere along the line of life fallen for Kakashi; but now he had Iruka.
"I am in love.with.Kakashi." I said to myself. So this was why I felt so hurt, so jealous. This is why I could get that picture of him and Iruka out of my mind. Iruka had taken away my rival and made Kakashi his.
I had made myself a new rival without even knowing it. I wouldn't give Kakashi over to anyone without a fight now that I knew my feelings. Iruka was in for it.
I can't let him go. I won't.
Not to you Iruka.
(\/)*\/\/*\/\/*\/\/*\/\/*\/\/*\/\/*\/\/*(\/)
Muwhahahahahaha! Thus chapter 5 ends! I hope you all enjoyed it!! I hope none of the Gai fans are mad! If you are mad then tell me! If you love the new rivalry then tell me! If you love my story then tell me that more! Even if you hate me tell me! Next chapter is going to be fun! Sorry for taking so long to update. I usually update every or every other day but this one had to take a little longer due to school. * sigh *
PS: Is my story easier to read than it was originally? I don't know if it is or not so please help me out when you write a review!

Why did I get that painful chill all of the sudden? I felt like I was losing something important to me. That's when I realized how I felt. I had somewhere along the line of life fallen for Kakashi; but now he had Iruka.
"I am in love.with.Kakashi." I said to myself. So this was why I felt so hurt, so jealous. This is why I could get that picture of him and Iruka out of my mind. Iruka had taken away my rival and made Kakashi his.
I had made myself a new rival without even knowing it. I wouldn't give Kakashi over to anyone without a fight now that I knew my feelings. Iruka was in for it.
I can't let him go. I won't.
Not to you Iruka.
