Chapter 2

The sun shone through his bedroom window and Iruka groaned and rolled over. He scrunched his eyes shut trying to black out the light so he could sleep more. He however found that he couldn't fall asleep again. Finally giving up he looked at the clock beside his bed that showed it was a little after eight. For one frightening moment he forgot it was Saturday and he thought he had slept in and missed work. He sat up with a curse and shoved the covers away from his body. He had already swung his legs out from under the warm covers when he realized that it was no school today, it being a weekend and all.

"Thank goodness..." Iruka exclaimed to the empty house. He then flopped back lying horizontally on the bed and stared at the ceiling. The chuunin wasn't wearing anything but his boxers and he started to feel the cool air chilling him slightly. No one else was in the house but he still found the need to put cloths on so he grabbed his usual uniform and headed for the shower. He figured he would go shopping after because he had noticed that he was running low on food last night.

Something about last night tickled his memory and his sleep fogged mind realized it the moment he saw to bowls instead of one soaking in his sink. 'That was right' he thought to himself 'Kakashi was her last night'. Iruka went over their conversation in his mind. They had conversed about random things like students, work, the cooling weather, Konoka, and eventually questions about the past came up.

Flashback

"So Iruka you didn't have that scar in this picture." Kakashi said pointing at the picture of Iruka he has called cute earlier. "How did you get that scar anyway?"

Iruka blinked, Kakashi had moved after eating and he now sat across from Iruka. A lot of people had wondered or still did how he had gotten the scar across his nose. Iruka never liked to answer their question because he thought it was kind of obvious how he got the scar. The academy sensei was a very careful and nice person so one would assume he didn't get the scar in an accident or a fight. Sure he had scars from missions, it was just the life of a shinobi but this scar he had gotten the same day his parents and so many others had perished.

"I got this scar the night the village was attacked, that night my dad died fighting the demon and my mom died trying to protect me from it." Iruka paused he wasn't sure why he was telling Kakashi this. "My mother and I had to stand by as my father attacked and was killed by the demon, then as the demon turned to me and my mother she jumped in front of me, and he swiped her away like a toy his bottom claw grazed my face and I was left with this scar..." Iruka finished in a quite voice he was looking at his hands.

Kakashi was silent for a moment. "Sorry I didn't know it was like that, we all lost a lot on that day..." Kakashi fell into a contemplating silence. "Did you ever wonder why your mom jumped in front of you?" when Iruka didn't answer Kakashi nodded. "She loved you so much and didn't want to lose you...she probably knew you would grow up to be the man you are today."

"And what about you Iruka?" you're an interesting guy, so kind, smart, understanding, and modest and......cute." Kakashi laughed after saying this as Iruka blushed. "I don't even know you do I? I mean sure I talk to you occasionally about work but just tonight I have been more relaxed then I have been more relaxed then I have been for weeks. Thank you Iruka." Kakashi got up and when Iruka didn't move to follow he left through the front door.

Iruka sat there thinking about this strange occurrence for a long time. Finally he shrugged it off for Kakashi's tiredness and then went to bed himself. That night he dreamt of a field of corn in void of red that was being set on fire.

End of Flashback

Iruka brushed the hair out of his eyes and then tucked it behind his ears. Unbound his hair went down past his shoulders, silky, strait, and deliciously chocolaty brown. He was getting goose bumps for standing in the cold for so long so he shrugged off the previous night and headed again for the shower.

The brunette slide the screen open that separated his shower from the rest of the room, and turned on the water. When the water heated up the bathroom started to get steamy and Iruka sighed in bliss at the heat that enveloped his body. He discarded his boxers in a hurry and stepped into the shower, eagerly he ducked his head under the spray of water. Feeling lightheaded he let the water cascade over his chest and down his back, as all the tension from the week seemed to vanish as he scrubbed his body and washed his hair.

After twenty minutes or so minutes Iruka turned off the water and stepped out of the shower. He grabbed a blue towel and wrapped it loosely around his waist. Iruka ran a comb through his clean hair and then stepped out of the bathroom. The cool air bit at his skin and he shivered.

Then he heard an unintelligible murmur from his living room. Being extremely quite and cautious he took an ornamental yet functional katana off the wall and crept down the hall to his living room. He felt nervous as he stood trying to peek into the room but the intruders where standing in his blind spot. Taking a deep breath he jumped out into the living drawing the katana and moving the sheath up in a defensive position.

The brunette the blinked and took in his intruders, which after he had stopped to look at didn't look like intruders. In fact he was rather embarrassed to see Naruto, Sakura, Susuke, and Kakashi standing in his living room. The blond was wide eyed and his mouth was hanging open, well the pink haired girl looked like she was going to feint, even the stoic Uchiha had a slender eye brow raised. Kakashi how ever was just staring at Iruka with an eye that didn't look so lazy, but actually attentive and alert.

"Well kids, as Iruka has so beautifully demonstrated..." Kakashi stopped for a second and an outsider could easily think Kakashi was calling Iruka beautiful. "A shinobi is always prepared to handle an attack under any circumstances." Kakashi's eye curved into a happy curve. "However..." Here Kakashi paused again and shifted his gaze to his team, as he stepped closer to Iruka, "but an alert shinobi know to not have anything impairing his hearing." Kakashi picked a strand of Iruka's hair and twined it around his finger showing how it covered his ears.

"Gomen nasai!" Iruka bowed and blushed bright red. "I couldn't tell it was you guys!" Iruka looked at the three students and then his gaze went to their teacher who was still fondling his strand of hair with amusement.

Sakura's eyes flicked from Kakashi to Iruka and she heard a click in her mind. She shook herself making the two guys near her look at her. "Wonderful lesson sensei but we have to go now....we were...ahhh...supposed to meet Lee, Ino, and the others to train." Sakura glared at the two boys standing next to her and was thankful they stayed silent.

Kakashi looked up from Iruka's hair to look at his students. "Sure you guys may be dismissed. Have fun..." Kakashi waited until he was sure that his students were gone before he let go of Iruka's hair and stepped back to look at the younger man. He held his hand up in submission "put the sword down you could hurt someone with that."

Iruka blushed and walked back up the hallway to place the sword in its right place. He could feel Kakashi's eye on his back and he was prompted to remember he was wearing nothing more then a towel. When he returned to the living room Kakashi hadn't moved. As he stood in front of Kakashi he smiled a shivered slightly "Well I don't know why you decided to drop in but you are welcome any time..."

The brunette was cut off as Kakashi stepped closer to him and he could smell the jounin's unique scent. Then one of Kakashi's long slender fingers was placed on Iruka's chest applying a light pressure "You should get dressed...before you catch a cold." Kakashi looked down at the slightly shorter man seriously.

Iruka looked into the clear blue eye and was unable to read the emotions there, he smiled and nodded instead. "I'll go do that mother, you can sit if you like I was on my way to go buy groceries."

Kakashi's blue eye stayed locked on his own and then it blinked and Iruka caught a glimmer of another emotion he could not understand. "I hope you weren't going out like that...I wouldn't want anyone else fondle your hair as you stand in a towel in your living room but me..." Kakashi's eye finally closed as he smiled.

Iruka couldn't stop the blush that stole over his face.
