Dolphins Are Supposed To Swim

Chapter 5

"Kakashi-sensei? What are you doing at Iruka-sensei's house?!"



Kakashi laughed nervously, scratching the back of his head sheepishly.

"Well...you see..." He yelped as Naruto roughly pulled him down by the collar so he was now eye to eye with Kakashi. He narrowed his eyes menacingly.

"If you touched him..." Naruto growled. Kakashi was sincerely freaked (again). Naruto was scary. Really scary. Did he just growl? He thought confusedly. Little brother complex...I wonder how he'll react to the marriage...He thought, mentally scratching his name off of the guest list. But then he actually took his words into consideration.

"I didn't touch him what so ever!! [AN: LIAR!!!] I think all that ramen has finally gone to your head..." They glared menacingly at each other until Iruka's weak whisper was heard from the depths of the house.

"Ka-Kaka...shi?...BLEAUGH "

Kakashi and Naruto blinked. The stench of vomit was thick in the air.

"Ewww..." Naruto scowled in disgust, letting go of Kakashi to pinch his nose.

"I bet your going to go now and leave all the cleaning up to me...aren't you?" Naruto grinned.

"Of course!!" And cheekily ran off. I hate him...But oh well, he left...I can finally molest in peace...He sighed and went back into the house, heading straight for the closet to get the mop. Only to meet the living room. Note to self: After I marry Iruka, MOVE. Far, far away. He thought, an idea forming in the back of his mind. His eye flashed with unholy glee as he got out a piece of paper and started labeling the doors. This is where Iruka and me will have our first real kiss...and over here is where we'll confess our undying love for one another...right here is where we'll get engaged...oh! and here's the perfect spot for having homoerotic sexual intercourse till the wee hours of the morning...

As Kakashi moved around from door to door labeling things (and...stuff...), Iruka had gotten shakily up and was greeted by the sight of a happily bouncing scarecrow who was giggling maniacally while scribbling things on pieces of paper and sticking them to each of his rooms' doors. He was feeling surprisingly better, what with him busting chunks all over the floor and he stretched sleepily. Iruka raised an eyebrow skeptically as he peeled one off a nearby door.

"HOMOEROTIC SEX???!!!!" He screamed, eyes widening. Kakashi jumped a little before slowly turning around.

"Oh! Iruka...your awake..." Iruka twitched abnormally, shaking the piece of paper in front of his face.

"WHAT, EXACTLY, IS THE MEANING OF THIS??!!!" He screamed furiously. Kakashi averted his eyes, scratching at his cheek guiltily.

"I wasn't talking about you...I was...I was talking about my imaginary blob- friend Mr. Smoogie."

Iruka twitched again.

"You...PERVERT!!!" He yelled, slapping Kakashi's face in a very girlish manner before running off, putting on his clothes hastily. Kakashi sweat dropped.

"That went well..." Kakashi sighed, gazing upon the puddle of vomit. Why me...?



Iruka jumped blindly along the house roofs, swaying slightly at times. I CAN'T BELIEVE HIM!!!! HE...I...............Does this mean he loves me? [AN: sweat drop] He abruptly stopped, blushing furiously. But...he always made fun of me...and he called my ass big!!!! And my hair was out of style!!! Though he could have been hiding his true feelings...Iruka shook his head hastily and continued running. I need to think...He immediately set his sights on the Hokage cliff face, nothing but a pony tailed streak in the night.



Kakashi sat down (after thoroughly ridding Iruka's apartment of vomit), and racked his brain. Now where could he have gone...the noodle bar? No...Naruto's? Definitely not...the lingerie store? Kakashi smacked his head. WHY THE HELL WOULD HE GO THERE?! But it is an interesting thought...Kakashi smacked his head again. No time to think perverted thoughts right now!!! Hmm...His eyes lit up, and he snapped his fingers. The Hokage face cliff!! He was there last night!! Kakashi did a quick happy dance and then set off, ready to do some fishing for a certain elusive dolphin.



Iruka sat on the railing again, staring down at the sea below. He remembered when he had been the one falling into it, and shuddered at the memory. If Kakashi hadn't been walking by at that precise moment, [AN: Laugh] I would of surely died...His mind reverted back to Kakashi, and what he had written. He blushed deeply. Why did he write that? I mean...why would...He blushed even deeper. A rustling was heard behind him in one of the bushes surrounding the edge, and he turned around (carefully). A cute little squirrel popped out, nibbling on a walnut. He sighed, relieved.

"What? You'd rather look at a squirrel than little ol' me?" He yelped as Kakashi appeared beside him seemingly out of nowhere. He grinned as Iruka blushed.

"WHY THE HELL DO YOU--? Oh! Nevermind..." He sighed dejectedly at he stared down at the sea again.

"Ka-Kakashi..." Iruka stammered and Kakashi tilted his head. Iruka was blushing more and more by the minute, and he was wringing his hands nervously.

"W-Why d-did y-you wr-write that...?" Iruka was as red as a tomato by now, and Kakashi had to resist the urge to cuddle him.

"Well, actually, it's quite simple really..."

"It is not!!" He yelled indignantly at Kakashi, who just grinned mysteriously.

"I, Hatake Kakashi, am hopelessly, madly, and inexplicably in love with you." [AN: GASP!!!!]

Iruka was shocked. So shocked, his hand slipped on the railing, and he was falling again (he was still slightly sick after all). But this time Kakashi was there to catch him. He grinned again.

"You know, it would be easier to molest you if you were dead but..." He pulled Iruka up and over the railing with some effort.

"Woah! To think you were vomiting all yesterday morning!!!!" He grunted, as Iruka stayed unusually silent.

When he finally pulled him up, he suddenly had arms wrapped tightly around his neck and a face buried into it. What the...?! Sniffs could be heard from the dolphin currently nestled into his shoulder, and he felt the hot tears sliding down his collarbone.

"Iruka?"

Iruka's answer was barely audible, but he immediately knew what he was saying. Kakashi's eyes softened, and he returned the hug.

"I love you too."

AN: WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (that's all I have to say...)
