A/n: I live! I love this story, and have good plans for it. R & R and maybe I'll update faster. hheheh.

Chapter Five: Team 7 to the Rescue!

It was desperate.

Iruka hated everything, ESPECIALLY mail.

Thirty-One.

It was the number.

Thirty-One FRICKIN LETTERS.

Someone was gonna die.

Ever since the incident with white angel wings and flying he hadn't seen Kakashi. Not anywhere! It was really pissing him off too.

But, Iruka had a plan. An EVIL plan. A Manipulative plan. But he cared not, it was a plan eh?
He NEEDED to find out if Kakashi was sending the letters. He NEEDED too.
And that's why he NEEDED to do this.....go to the children.

Naruto crossed his arms, a confused look on his face.
"Help you?"
Iruka smiled quickly, the smile being large and straining.
"Yes. I need your help, Naruto."
Naruto raised an eyebrow. "With Kakashi-sensei?"
Iruka nodded, his face growing thinner ."Yes."

Silence passed for a few seconds before Naruto spoke up;

"That's weird."

Iruka twitched, then, in a rage grabbed the boy, "WHO CARES IF IT'S WEIRD!?"
Sasuke blinked, Naruto stared, and Sakura sniffed.
'Iruka-sensei is so scary!' she thought,
/HELL YEAH! GO IRUKA-SENSEI! GOOOO!/ The only demon stronger than Kyuubi, Inner Sakura , cackled inside the young girls mind.

"Let me get this straight..." Sasuke murmured, trying to keep his mind from being scared.
"You want us to see if Kakashi is sending you letters?"

Iruka nodded. "Yes. Please, it's important." He sat Naruto down gently.
Naruto's face retained it's OoO look, but Iruka didn't care, as at least the other two were still sane.
"And if we see him writing you a letter?" The Uchiha asked, Iruka smiled in response. "Then you come and tell me."

Naruto shook his head out of it's shock. "Ehh...Iruka-sensei, why would Kakashi-sensei send you letters?"

Fire erupted behind Iruka as his voice took on a demonic tone.
"NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!"
Naruto shivered in fear.

"Okay...we can try Iruka-sensei." Sakura smiled, and Iruka smiled at her.
"Thank you." /Smart girl./ Inner Iruka added.
"Your welcome." /I love feeding the insane!/ Inner Sakura giggled.

"And Naruto, if you do this for me, I will buy you ..."
Naruto cocked his head to the side, when he heard THE word.

"...ramen."

"Yeah! Okay! Lets go Sasuke! Sakura-chan!" He grabbed his friends by the wrists and dragged them off.

Iruka watched with a smiled. Then he began to giggle. Not just any giggle either, but a cryptic, freakish, strange, demented, and, yes, deranged giggle!

'Kakashi...I will find out if your the one's writing the letters, I swear!'
