I do not own Naruto *tears* and I am going through a depression because of
it. Oh yeah! I am rewriting the ending to 'Tis The Season', which was my
first fanfic! It should come out before Christmas or that's what I am
planning. (But probably isn't going to happen since I'm going to Texas for
two weeks!! GO TEXAS!)
Oh and I'm sure some might have noticed that I have made small references to my twin's story 'Forbidden Jutsus' by Rukaiay Lompergay or at least that is how I think you spell it lol. Whenever she finishes that story, me and her will be putting a story out that we are both writing, just in different point of views...........just keep an eye open for that.
If you are looking for other fanfics to read I strongly suggest these few:
"Birthday Present" by Jade Dragoness
"Shinnen" by Delas
"Violate my Jenkentsu, Why don't you" by Jin1
"Sometimes" by Morien Alexander
Now for the next chapter!! YAY! AND.........TO the YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE......hehehehe I'm glad you caught up but here's my warning read at your own risk cause lets just say things get a little kinky as the story goes. I just thought I would warn you before you tackle me at church or anything lol
Another news update is I have unofficially decided not to put any lemon scenes in here. I thought of a cute poem I could put in the story where a scene would be located but then decided against it. I might change my mind but I am upping the rating to PG-13.
Enjoy!

Chapter 7: Confession
'`'`'`'`'''`'`'`'`'`***'`'`'`'`'`'``'`'`'`'
Iruka sat up in his bed. It was raining outside his window and the sounds made it feel so peaceful in his room. Iruka got up and looked over at the clock. He wouldn't have to be awake for another two hours but Iruka knew he wouldn't be able to go back to sleep, after all the chunin exam was starting today.
Iruka sighed as he looked over his dark room that had a blue glow from the rain in the windows. He scratched his head for a second before he decided he should go ahead and take a shower. Maybe he could get some studying in before the big event.
Iruka opened the door and looked around his house. It was dark and peaceful; he noticed that Kakashi's stuff was laid out over the floor.
/ He probably didn't get home till really late. / Iruka thought to himself before he grabbed a towel from the hall closet and walked into the restroom.
The restroom was big for a normal household. It had a changing room that was more of the normal bathroom since it contained the toilet and sink. There was a huge wall that turned into a sliding door that would allow you to enter the bath and shower part. Iruka loved the bathtub that his dad had put into the house because it was huge, and the shower hung over it.
Iruka took off his cloths and opened the door to be overcome by hot mist. That was strange since Iruka couldn't hear the shower or the bathtub yet it felt like someone had just drawn a super hot bath.
Iruka walked slowly as he entered the room looked around to see if he could distinguish anything beneath the mist, when he slipped and fell into the bathtub. The water was above hot and the fact that when Iruka stood up the water reached his lower chest didn't help. Iruka tried to regain his senses, as his body seemed to be melting at the heat. He tried to get up but felt something push him back in the scorching water causing him to wince.
Iruka glared at the figure in front of him trying to make out who the intruder was.
Kakashi!
Iruka widened his eyes as he felt the water move telling him Kakashi had just entered the tub too. Iruka backed up till he could feel the wall of the tub against his back. What was he doing here and what was going on? Iruka waited as his body started to adapt to the hot water that surrounded him. It wasn't until he spotted Kakashi coming over to him did he decide something weird was going on.
"Hey Kakashi. Are you feeling okay?" Iruka had an uneasy tone in his voice and tried to make hands signals telling Kakashi to stop coming towards him.
Kakashi grabbed Iruka's hands and pulled the genin over to him. Iruka gasped as he felt Kakashi's lips against his. Iruka tried to get away but Kakashi grabbed both his wrist with one hand and wrapped the other arm around Iruka's waist.
Iruka couldn't help but let out a small moan as the felt there bodies being pressed together. What was this? Iruka felt Kakashi twist at his wrist causing the boy to gasp at the jolt of pain, Kakashi just smiled as he let his tongue into Iruka's mouth. Iruka's eyes widened at the intrusion but he slowly returned the kiss.
At this Kakashi let go of his wrist and pushed Iruka against the wall. Iruka grabbed both of Kakashi's shoulders as the jounin kissed him again. Iruka started to.............
BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. BEEP.
Iruka jumped out of his bed as if he had been attacked and glared at his alarm clock. This was the third week Iruka had been having 'those' kind of dreams. He hated to admit it but he had also grown a hate for his alarm clock that would wake his up right when the dream got good.
"Nest time I'll just force myself to make the first move in the dream and then maybe I can see where they all lead to." Iruka thought aloud even though he could probably give a really good guess to where the next scene in his dreams would lead.
And all of them had him as uke.
Iruka got up and turned his alarm clock. He hadn't noticed at first but he was sweating really badly and his heart rate seemed to be going faster than normal. Was it because of the dream? Iruka cursed himself underneath his breath as he took his shirt off that was soaking in his sweat.
Iruka looked over at the window as he heard something that seemed familiar, and sure enough it was raining. At least he knew why it was raining in his dream. Iruka walked out of his room not messing with his wet hair that stuck to the back of his neck. He felt like he had been sprayed with a hose.
Iruka looked over and saw a figure moving on the couch. Iruka approached it slowly as he saw the gray hair shimmer in the light that the rain had lit up the room with. Iruka watched for a while as Kakashi turned over in the couch. Why wasn't he in his bed?
"Kakashi?" Iruka whispered as the jounin slowly opened his eyes.
"Hn. Iruka?" Kakashi slowly sat up and got off the couch. "Do you need something?"
At this Iruka frowned. Kakashi always acted like he was Iruka's guardian and that annoyed the boy especially since he was developing a crush on the jounin.
"No. I was just wondering why you weren't in your bed. I bet it would be better on your neck." Iruka said this as Kakashi popped his neck then smiled.
"Well since I got home late I tried to sleep but my bed wasn't working for me so then I watched you sleep for a litt..........then I tried the couch and now you woke me up."
Iruka stared at Kakashi. Did he just say that he watched Iruka sleep? Iruka smiled at Kakashi before the jounin ducked as Iruka tried to hit him.
"Why were you watching me sleep?" Iruka continued to smile as his voice showed that he was angry and annoyed.
"You were just......so......peaceful.......I thought...... it........would" Kakashi stopped dodging Iruka's punches and pinned the genin to the couch with him leaning over him, "help."
Iruka shivered as he pictured Kakashi watching him sleep, it was creepy. Then Iruka's face flushed up, what if Kakashi was in there, and Iruka talked in his sleep? Iruka had a tendency to say things he dreamed about and with the dreams he had bee having lately! Iruka's thoughts were interrupted as he felt Kakashi get off him.
Kakashi yawned then he headed for his room while Iruka just started to pray that he had grown out of talking in his sleep. He put his hand through his hair and felt how wet it was from the sweat so he went to go take a shower.
'`'`'`'`'''`'`'`'`'`***'`'`'`'`'`'``'`'`'`'
Iruka felt his arm being tugged by Suzume. He knew that she had a fighting spirit but he would had never guessed she would have been so mad at him when he showed up two minutes late. He looked at the building they were entering; his team would be taking the chunin exam today.
Iruka was amazed at all the different shinobi in the room and was glad that he recognized each of the villages since forgetting everything you learned now would have been a bad sign. Iruka sighed as he and his team took a seat while everyone waited for the exam to begin.
It started off with a written test, which Iruka breezed through since he would read all kinds of ninja books for his free time. He looked over at his two teammates and gave them a smug smile to show that he had completed the test and the boy did a few hands seals before his body went to sleep and Iruka jolted in his chair.
Iruka's other teammate was the cousin to Yamanaka Inoshi who was known for his mind body switch technique. It wasn't long before Iruka regained his senses and saw that the other teammates had gotten the answers. Iruka enjoyed that fact that he was considered the brain of the team; from forbidden jutsus to how a Sharingan eye works; Iruka was a genius.
The other tests; though extremely hard; seemed to go by fast. It wasn't long before the last test came up and everyone would be going against each other. Iruka stared at the match up bored with a huge grin on his face. If he and Mizuki won their first matches they would get to go against each other.
They had a month to train and heal from the other tests. Sadly the boy in Iruka's team had broken his arm and decided he would just take the exam later. Iruka was sad because he wanted everyone to graduate with him. He sighed as he plopped down on his bed and stared at the ceiling.
"Good job Iruka." Iruka turned his aching body so he could see Kakashi smiling at him. "I got to watch you guys in the forest on screen. Suzume has a killer instinct when she is mad, doesn't she?"
Iruka tried to laugh but all the endorphins that had been holding off the pain his body was going through left so it sound more like a moan. Kakashi jumped on the bed causing Iruka's body to bounce, which made Iruka wince in pain ad he heard his bones crack. Kakashi just smiled and made his way over to his friend.
"Hey you need to get up and train. Your first opponent is from the village hidden in the stones. You should know that they are known for their specialties in....." Kakashi stopped and looked down as Iruka curled into a ball and slept silently.
Kakashi sighed as he stood up and hit Iruka on the head. Iruka screamed and glared up at Kakashi who was smiling under his mask. Iruka rubbed his head and mumbled some things that Kakashi really didn't take notice of as he waited for the boy to stand up. Iruka slowly picked himself up and glared out of spite. He hated that Kakashi was right and that he needed to train but since Kakashi wasn't going to let him sleep he might as well give up.
"Take a shower first so you can refresh yourself." Kakashi waved as he left Iruka alone mumbling threats under his breath.
Iruka winced as the water hit his wounds. They hadn't completely healed yet so the water made it sting. Iruka turned off the water and put his pants on realizing he left his shirt and bandages in the living room. He walked into the living room sighing as he saw Kakashi sitting on the couch.
"What took you so lon........?" Kakashi walked over to Iruka and lead the boy over to a stool.
Iruka stared at Kakashi trying to see what he was up to when he felt Kakashi's cold fingers trace some of his scars and new wounds that were made during the exam.
"Hey! Hey! If you're going to gawk at me then at least you could do some of the bandaging." Iruka yelled trying not to show a blush from the contact of the jounin.
Kakashi laughed as he got the bandages and started working on the fresh cuts while Iruka put some healing lotion on the ones that wouldn't scar. They spent a few minutes in silence doing their jobs till Iruka looked over at Kakashi who still had his mask one. Iruka lifted his arms as Kakashi circled his body wrapping the bandage around so it wouldn't fall off. Kakashi stopped when he was directly in front of Iruka and wrapped his arms around the genin so he could tie the end of it in the back.
Iruka couldn't hold the blush in as Kakashi's head rested on his shoulder and his two arms were fiddling with the knot he was trying to tie. Kakashi smiled as he told himself he should've just gone around and avoided the unnecessary body contact but then the other side of him applauded the effort to touch Iruka.
Iruka tensed as Kakashi accidentally tied the knot too hard causing the wound to hurt. His legs grabbed Kakashi's waist as if they were trying to give Kakashi the pain Iruka had just felt. Kakashi blushed and was glad he left his mask on as he leaned back but didn't go that far as Iruka still had his legs pressing hard on Kakashi's thighs. Kakashi gave Iruka a confused look with his only visible eye as Iruka tried to yell at his body for not letting the jounin go.
"Iruka?"
"I umm........I ........Thank.......Thank you." Iruka blushed but he looked up at Kakashi. Iruka was finally able to let go of Kakashi and made his way over to his room to find a shirt.
Kakashi watched the boy and sighed. He knew his feelings for Iruka. Kakashi hated how everything about Iruka would get under his skin, how he cared so much for someone so young. Kakashi thought he was starting to hate everything about Iruka before he realized that he actually had fallen in love with the young teen. The best part of it all was Kakashi 'the genius' had no idea how to tell Iruka how he felt.
"Kakashi!" Iruka yelled from his room before he stuck his head out to peer at the jounin.
"Yes?" Kakashi asked Iruka in a plain emotionless voice, he tried to block all the images of Iruka yelling his name out in other situations in his head. He really was a pervert and he knew it, he would wish though that his mind would give it a rest before he got a nosebleed.
"What training are we going to do today? I was hoping to go over nin jutsus with you since you are considered the master." Iruka walked out of his room with a small smirk on his face as he put his sandals on.
"I see....." Kakashi glared at Iruka with a bored look before he smiled under his mask. "I guess I am the master and you do need a lot of help."
They both laughed quietly before they headed out to go train. Iruka grabbed a few of his weapons but left the ones he would normally bring because he really wanted to focus on learning nin jutsus and not on weapon combat. Kakashi smiled as they both walked talking like friends and laughing like friends.
That's when it hit him. Friends. Is that all they were? Kakashi grew quiet as he started thinking about it. He loved his friendship with Iruka but he wouldn't be able to keep fooling himself in thinking that his feelings weren't more. Kakashi looked over at the teen that smiled at him and grinned at the setting sun.
Some of Iruka's hair fell out of its holder as a breeze came by. Kakashi just stared as Iruka smirked pulling the hair behind his ear. Kakashi had to tell Iruka how he felt, if he didn't then he was afraid that maybe he would miss out on something but he didn't know what.
"Kakashi....are you okay?" Kakashi looked over at Iruka from the branch he had made his way on. "Did you want something? You kept staring at me funny."
"......." Kakashi blushed underneath his facemask. This was his chance. "Iruka I........"
"Hey Iruka-san!" A tall teen ran up to Iruka and did a small bow.
"Oh hey there Seiko-san." Iruka did a small bow back and started a small conversation with the teen forgetting all about the fact that Kakashi was about to tell him something.
Kakashi hit the back of his head against the tree and sighed. He looked over at the teenager talking to Iruka.
Seiko stood a head over Iruka and had short dark blue hair. He wore a Hidden Mist headband on his forehead and had his left ear pierced. He wore some baggy pants and had a piece of cloth wrapped around his waist but his top body was uncovered and showed off his tan skin. Seiko had a tattoo on his right arm that showed he belonged to one of the prestigious clans in the Hidden Mist.
Kakashi growled when he noticed how close Seiko had gotten to Iruka when it hit him. Seiko blushed slightly when Iruka laughed which caused Kakashi to jump off his branch and walk over to the two boys. He wouldn't let someone make a move on Iruka without him finally telling the teen how he felt.
"Iruka we need to finish training." Iruka looked over at Kakashi from the story he was telling Seiko and looked at the sky.
"It's getting kind of late Kakashi, lets just take a break." Kakashi sighed as Iruka smiled at him. If only the genin knew how he felt.
"So this is Kakashi-san! I am glad to finally meet the man who Iruka-san is always talking about." Seiko put his hand out to Kakashi and smiled.
Kakashi stared at Seiko's eyes as he shook the hand and smirked under his mask. So Iruka had been talking about Kakashi had he?
"....So I am going to hang out with Seiko for awhile okay Kakashi. See you later." Kakashi popped out of his thoughts as he saw Iruka walk away with Seiko.
It finally dawned on Kakashi what just happened. He let Iruka go away with some stranger that had become a possible threat to his and Iruka's "relationship". Kakashi looked over at the setting sun and realized he was late to work and took off. Kakashi knew he didn't have to worry about Iruka but there was something about Seiko Kakashi didn't like.
'`'`'`'`'''`'`'`'`'`***'`'`'`'`'`'``'`'`'`'
Iruka turned over in his bed and let the moonlight shine in his face. The sky was perfectly clear and the stars helped light up the dark room. Iruka turned over again this time realizing his head had somehow gotten to the foot of the bed. He sighed and sat up letting the covers wrap around his body.
Iruka moved over as he noticed something different in his room. His eyes widened as he saw a gray haired shinobi sleeping in a chair pointed to where Iruka had just been sleeping. Iruka shivered at the thought, he might have been having feelings for Kakashi, but he didn't like the thought of people watching him while he slept.
Iruka stared at Kakashi for a second and looked at how the moonlight seemed to bring out the features of the jounin. Iruka slowly crawled over on his bed to where he could lean over the mattress and look at the jounin closer. Was this a dream?
Iruka had been having many dreams lately but this one was different. Iruka looked over the room again before he returned to staring at Kakashi. In his dreams Kakashi was always awake and never had his uniform on so why was this different? Iruka placed his hands on the jounin's face waking up the sleepy Kakashi. Kakashi just stared at Iruka who slowly pulled down the jounin's mask.
Kakashi looked at Iruka and could tell the genin hadn't been sleeping well and it was 4 hours before he had to wake up. Iruka's eyes were dilated and his breath was erratic but he would not take his eyes off of Kakashi's. Kakashi stared silently back and gasped as Iruka slid his hands around the jounin's face and into the jounin's hair. Iruka played in the gray hair for a second and smiled.
"I don't think I am dreaming........but I can't prove that I'm not." Before Kakashi could say something, Iruka pulled him forward and kissed him.
Kakashi stopped breathing as Iruka relaxed his muscles and released the kiss. Kakashi just stared in awe at Iruka while Iruka pulled him off his chair and brought the jounin to where he was sitting. Iruka smiled as he grabbed Kakashi and pulled him down so that the jounin was now over him. Kakashi was about to say something as his face flushed up but Iruka just kissed him again.
"Too bad dreams aren't real eh Kakashi?" Iruka kissed the jounin again before he scooted up on the bed and pulled Kakashi up so he could place his head on the jounin's chest. "I know that this isn't like my other dreams but isn't this so much better?"
Iruka continued to talk to himself, as Kakashi remained silent. Kakashi wanted to tell Iruka right then and there how he felt but judging at the lack of sleep the genin had had and the way Iruka was talking. The teen probably would think it was just a dream and Kakashi wanted to tell him in a better moment, a moment the genin would always remember.
Iruka slowly started to fall asleep as Kakashi began to play with his hair. Kakashi smiled as he reminded himself why he liked Iruka so much. When Iruka was finally down for the count Kakashi slid out of the room and fell asleep with a huge smile on his face. Iruka had dreams about him, Iruka kissed him, and Iruka as far as Kakashi knew it was his.
'`'`'`'`'''`'`'`'`'`***'`'`'`'`'`'``'`'`'`'
"Iruka! Are we going to practice or am I allowed to sleep! I'm 16 ya know! I need my sleep and if you're not going to train then there is no reason for me to wake up this early!" Kakashi yelled as he went around the house.
Iruka came out of his room mumbling stuff about how Kakashi shouldn't be so loud at 5 am but plopped on the couch making himself comfortable. Kakashi stopped when he saw Iruka's feet hanging over one end of the couch and walked over slowly to see the boy had fallen asleep again.
"WAKE UP!" Iruka fell off the couch and grabbed his chest as if he was afraid that his heart was failing at the young age of 13.
"OH KAMI! Why did you do that Kakashi?" Iruka glared at the jounin as he got up. "And stop covering your face when you are here, it's been over a year since you've lived here yet you still cover it up no matter what I say."
"Well if I do it no matter what you say and you know this then why do you say anything?" Kakashi smirked under his mask.
"Smart mouth." Iruka sighed as Kakashi pulled down his mask and continued to move stuff around. Iruka looked over at him as he moved the couch to the wall leaving a big space in the middle of the living room.
"What are you doing?" Iruka raised one eyebrow at Kakashi.
"We are going to spar, but using limited space. It will teach you to use the room you have more efficiently and help with close combat." Kakashi smiled as he noticed Iruka looked worried.
"But this is the living room! I have breakable stuff everywhere, this is stuff that my parents left." Iruka would have continued but Kakashi gave him an annoyed glare.
"That is why we are training in here. You need to be more careful when you fight so if you have certain environments that call for it you will be prepared."
Iruka nodded as he stared at his stuff for one last time. He moved some of his mom's favorite collectables then went to his room before Kakashi could yell at him. This was going to be a long day.
'`'`'`'`'''`'`'`'`'`***'`'`'`'`'`'``'`'`'`'
"I.....hate.....you." Iruka panted as he laid on the ground. "And why .....did you tie......my wrists.....again?"
Kakashi sat down on the ground next to the figure and let the sweat drip down his face. He smiled as he saw Iruka try to get up but from the way he fell and the fact his hands were tied behind his back, it made it very difficult for him. Kakashi sighed, as Iruka was finally able to sit up and glare at the jounin waiting for an answer.
"I tied your hands behind your back to teach you how to fight without your hands and to better balance yourself. About after the third lamp you broke I decided that you needed the training in that too. This is a train as we go session.....and you need help." Kakashi smirked as Iruka's glare deepened.
"I just wanted help in nin jutsus..." Iruka sighed as Kakashi stood up.
"But you can't perfect one thing till you perfect the rest. Remember that Iruka...a leopard can't hide in the shadows until it can control all of its spots." Kakashi tried to do a visual example but after feeling another heat wave from the room he left to go open some windows.
"Turn on the air conditioning! We are inside!" Iruka yelled as Kakashi turned out of sight.
"The bill is already high enough! I'm just opening a few windows...maybe all of them." Iruka sighed loud enough for Kakashi to hear even though he was in the next room.
They had gone through the basics in no time. Kakashi hated to admit it but Iruka knew the basics like no one he had ever met, which gave the shinobi an upper hand since the basics were hardly ever mastered. Iruka was definitely the first of his kind.
Kakashi stayed at the window for a moment letting the cool breeze of summer hit his body. His hair started to go in rhythm along side the wind, which Kakashi mused that it was a dance. He looked over to see Iruka had gotten out of the rope, which he could have done a long time ago but since Kakashi wouldn't let him, he remained in them till the jounin left the room.
Knock. Knock.
Kakashi walked into the living room as Iruka jumped up from the ground and ran to the door. Who would be visiting today? In fact who would be visiting this month? Usually all the Hidden Villages and missions would halt for the month that the participants in the chunin exam would train and heal. Or at least some people would be lucky enough to get a break because the missions in reality never stopped. Kakashi had asked the Hokage for time off to help Iruka, which was granted because many of the other Jounins didn't mind taking his load of jobs for that time.
Kakashi mumbled under his breath as Iruka stepped aside to allow Seiko into their house. Seiko stopped for a second when he noticed Kakashi and looked over the jounin. Kakashi hadn't really bothered putting on a shirt that morning since he planned to do the inside training first, but Iruka was in his usual training outfit. Iruka hadn't noticed at first but Kakashi had put a scarf around his face to cover where his usual facemask would be located and his hair covered his left eye. Iruka laughed as Kakashi looked ridiculous that very second.
"Kakashi why don't you go change." Iruka nodded for Kakashi to go leave and put his mask and headband on but Kakashi just sighed and slowly left. "What brings you here Seiko-san? I thought you would be training with your other two teammates."
"We trained this morning and realized that wasn't helping so we went our separate ways and decided to meet up two weeks before the month is over." Seiko smiled as Iruka put all his hair back into a ponytail. "I wanted to know if you wanted to go training with me for a week?"
Kakashi appeared out of nowhere and was suddenly right beside Iruka. Iruka jumped back from the shock of how Kakashi just decided to pop up when he was going to say something. Seiko looked at Kakashi weird for a moment then smirked very cockily as he realized what was going on or as he thought of the top three reasons Kakashi was so defensive over Iruka and the top two had to deal with the same issues.
"I'm helping him train." Kakashi stated firmly hiding the threatening tone from Iruka but glaring at Seiko.
"Kakashi! Don't be so rude for kami's sake......let me think about it okay Seiko-san. I can give you an answer tomorrow morning." Iruka bowed apologetically as Seiko bowed back.
"Sure thing. Oh yeah and Iruka-san, you missed a piece." Seiko pushed a piece of Iruka's hair behind the boy's ears causing Iruka to blush from embarrassment.
Kakashi received the message. Seiko was now his rival but what got Kakashi going was that Seiko wouldn't be in the Hidden Leaf for long. Why would he want to start a relationship that wouldn't last? Kakashi could only think of a few reasons and all ended with someone getting hurt, mainly Iruka and Kakashi wasn't going to let that happen.
Seiko smirked again at Kakashi causing the jounin to plot ways of killing the genin but decided that wasn't necessary........yet.
'`'`'`'`'''`'`'`'`'`***'`'`'`'`'`'``'`'`'`'
The door closed while Iruka fidgeted with the piece of hair Seiko had just touched. A slight blush formed on his cheeks but he felt a chill go down his spine as he let go and smiled at Kakashi. Kakashi just stared in disbelief. Did this mean Iruka might have feelings for the mist-nin? Kakashi could feel his heart breaking but stopped breathing for a second. He would have to tell Iruka as quickly as possible.
"Kakashi....you wouldn't mind if I went training with Seiko-san right? I mean I think it would be good for me to fight someone else for a change." Iruka stared at Kakashi and felt bad for some reason. He hadn't done anything yet he felt like he needed to apologize. "I'm sor..."
"You can't go." Kakashi interrupted Iruka and stared at him sternly.
"What?" Iruka stared at the jounin with a very confused look.
"I said you ca..."
"What do you think gives you the right to say something like that? Your not my parents nor are you my guardian Kakashi, therefore you have no right to treat me like a kid." Iruka started to walk away but turned around as he walked backwards to his room to pack.
"Why can't I go Kakashi? Give me your reasons to not wanting me to go so that I can think over them while I'm there."
Kakashi sighed for a second. So this is what an argument with Iruka was like, full of sarcasm and cynical bitterness towards the opposing force. Kakashi thought for a second as he heard Iruka close the door to his room. He had so many answers but which ones to tell him. Kakashi went over and entered Iruka's room to find the genin digging through his closet.
"You can't g....you shouldn't go because he has ulterior motives." Kakashi thought about what he just said and then yelled at himself for sounding so much like a sitcom dad.
"What do you assume his motives are Kakashi? Is he going to tell me ghost stories at a campfire, which might cause some strange psychological side effects that will prevent me from performing in the chunin exam? I think I can take care of myself." Iruka rolled his eyes.
"I think he....he likes you Iruka." Iruka looked over at Kakashi with a 'No Duh he likes me because we wouldn't be friends if he hated me' glare.
"I mean he likes you likes you." Iruka looked over at Kakashi again. The jounin was staring at the ground with a few occasional glances at the teen he was talking to.
"What do you think he's going to rape me?" Iruka started laughing at the thought. Was Kakashi serious?
"He might, you never know. He could be desperate." Kakashi looked over at Iruka who just stared at the jounin in disbelief.
"Why in the world are you acting like this? I can take care of myself Kakashi! You don't need to act like some jealous boyfriend, I mean its not like we are lovers." Iruka walked over to Kakashi and put his hands on his hips.
Kakashi stared at Iruka for a second. The genin obviously just wanted to train the best he could but Kakashi didn't want to take the chance of something happening. After all he did love the boy.
"Do you want to be?" Kakashi's voice seemed to echo throughout the entire house as Iruka stared at him trying to break apart the sentence.
"WHAT?" Iruka backed up a few feet.
"Do you want to be lovers?" Kakashi approached Iruka till he backed the boy in the bedpost. Kakashi leaned in a brushed his lips on Iruka's.
Iruka didn't allow his eyes to blink as he stared at Kakashi. Did he just ask what he thought he just asked? Iruka opened his mouth to say something but nothing came out as Kakashi slid his tongue into the boy's mouth. Iruka did the first thing his mind thought of and bit down.
"OW!" Kakashi jolted back putting his fingers on his tongue and was glad to see there was no blood. Kakashi glared at Iruka for a second before he walked over to the genin again.
Iruka tried to back away but didn't have anywhere to go so he fell on the bed. Iruka yelled at himself, being on the bed could make the situation worse. Before Iruka could get up Kakashi pushed him down and started to kiss him. Iruka gasped as one of Kakashi's hands went under his shirt. Kakashi was cold against Iruka's warm body. Kakashi enjoyed how Iruka moved and was working on kissing Iruka's bottom lip when Iruka finally aloud his tongue inside.
Iruka felt scared, happy, confused, passionate, and weak all at once. He knew that he could throw Kakashi off of him but for some reason he felt that all his strength had left him. Iruka thought of ways he could over power the jounin but in reality he would only be able to hold his own for a while because Kakashi was still stronger than him, but then again did he want to leave?
They were on the bed. Iruka was sandwiched in between the bed and Kakashi. Iruka's mind thought the situation over and over again before he realized Kakashi had undid his shirt. Iruka tried to move now he wasn't ready. He loved Kakashi but he was only 13 he couldn't, not yet. Iruka started to squirm a bit as Kakashi kissed his neck.
Kakashi started to move more gently as Iruka squirmed. He watched Iruka closely waiting to see what the boy would do when it hit him. What was he doing? Kakashi all the sudden felt very sick, he was sick. He stopped what he was doing and moved away off of Iruka. What gave him the right to do that to Iruka? Iruka wasn't his and even if he was, Kakashi didn't have a right to touch Iruka without his consent. Kakashi felt dirty all of the sudden.
Iruka was frozen. He couldn't move from where he was let alone breath. What had just happened? One second him and Kakashi were so close to each other and now there was only a cool air moving over his body. Iruka slowly turned his head to see Kakashi with a very mad expression on his face staring at the wall. Was he responsible for making Kakashi mad?
Kakashi just stared until he got a chill and looked over at Iruka who stared straight back. As soon as their eyes met Kakashi turned away. He couldn't even look at Iruka now, what if Iruka hated him? What if he had ruined their friendship? Kakashi knew that there had been many other incidents but this one was different. Kakashi got up off the bed and left the room as Iruka watched him.
Iruka heard the shower turn on and decided this was a good time to move. He got up and looked in the mirror. His hair and fallen down when he was on the bed. Iruka let his hair fall on his face as he followed the path Kakashi had just gone on. Iruka had to apologize for making Kakashi mad. He opened the door to the restroom and saw that there was no steam. Kakashi was taking a cold shower?
Kakashi turned around as he heard the shower door open and was surprised to see Iruka. He looked down this time trying to avoid eye contact. He let the water fall on him even if he was still in his cloths. Kakashi needed to cool off quick so he didn't bother taking off his cloths in the shower. Kakashi turned around to face Iruka and was shocked as he felt two arms wrap around his body.
Iruka hugged Kakashi and placed his head on the jounin's chest. He waited for a response and smiled softly when he wasn't pushed off. The cold water caused him to shiver a little bit but then he ignored it and buried his face into Kakashi's chest.
"I'm sorry Kakashi. Please don't be mad." Iruka whispered softly.
Kakashi just stared down amazed at Iruka. Kakashi was the one that should be apologizing yet Iruka was the one that felt guilty. Kakashi didn't know what to do so he grabbed Iruka and hugged the teen tightly. Iruka looked up at Kakashi and smiled before he leaned upward and kissed the jounin. After that Iruka let go and started to leave the shower but felt Kakashi's hand wrap around his own.
"I love you Iruka." Iruka turned around and blushed as Kakashi brushed his lips against Iruka's. "I don't deserve it, but I was still hoping that maybe you could love me back."
Kakashi kissed Iruka again as Iruka blushed beautifully. After Kakashi released the kiss he smiled at Iruka as the genin put his fingers through the gray hair. Iruka smiled gently at him before he kissed the jounin.
"I love you too Kakashi."
'`'`'`'`'''`'`'`'`'`***'`'`'`'`'`'``'`'`'`'
"Sorry Seiko-san I won't be joining you on your trip." Iruka did a small bow as he waved his friend bye. "Well that wasn't so hard now was it, Kakashi?"
Iruka turned to a tree where Kakashi had been hiding through out the whole conversation.
"How did you know I was there?" Kakashi popped out and stared at his love. "Don't tell me I'm getting that sloppy."
"I don't know. Just felt you there...............maybe it's because we've lived together for so long. Like one of those unexplainable bonds." Iruka added plenty of sarcasm as he spoke which made Kakashi smirk.
"Smart-aleck."
"Rusty old man."
"Brat."
"Jerk."
"Bookworm."
"Playboy."
"Uke."
"........"
"I WIN!" Kakashi grabbed Iruka by the hand and did a few hand seals before Iruka could even realize what he was doing they were surrounded by smoke.
They appeared in Kakashi's room and landed on the bed. Iruka looked around and smirked. He still had to train before the competition, the last part of the exam would be in one week and Iruka had only train for half the time since him and Kakashi had gotten together. Iruka looked over as he noticed the position they were in. Kakashi was over him grinning like mad under his facemask and Iruka was lying on the bed with his hands pinned down by the jounin's hands.
"Teme....." Iruka whispered as he kissed Kakashi.
"You're still on the bottom Ir-UKE! ? " Kakashi laughed as Iruka pushed him off the bed.
They hadn't had sex yet because their relationship was still new and Kakashi didn't want to force Iruka into anything just because Kakashi was older and Iruka was younger. They both wanted to just let things play out.
Iruka jumped off Kakashi's bed before he went into the kitchen and made some ramen for dinner. It was getting late and Iruka had a busy day ahead of him. He felt Kakashi's arms wrap around his waist was smiled as the jounin leaned over his shoulder.
"What are making?"
"I am making noodles a la miso!" Iruka smiled as he heard Kakashi laugh.
"My favorite." Kakashi kissed the back of Iruka's head before he left the kitchen only to return with a manga in his hand.
"You know for a genius your reading material is a bit off." Iruka wasn't a big manga fan; personally he loved to read educational books or true stories.
"I have to turn off my brain sometime you know."
"I know, and I have been telling you to turn it back on for the past three years." Iruka chided cynically.
Kakashi just sighed and left the kitchen to go sit in the living room. First Iruka had made him promise to wait and read Icha Icha Paradise when he was actually legal to when he had first moved in and now he was being made fun of. Kakashi looked over and saw the book Iruka was currently reading.
"The Different Legend." Kakashi read out loud than looked at the back. The book was about certain types of nin jutsus and jitsu that had been mastered and talked about which ones were hard to do. Kakashi went straight to the page that Iruka had left off on.
Kakashi skimmed the page real quick and was amazed to find his name in there. Iruka had circled it and the short paragraph of information that came along with it. How odd. Normally Kakashi would get info if he was ever put into a book but he had never heard of this one. It talked about how he had mastered almost 1000 jutsus. Kakashi laughed when he thought about it. In a few years he would know more than that with the missions he usually got.
"Kakashi dinner is......" Iruka stopped when he saw Kakashi reading his book and smiled.
"It doesn't count as reading if your only reading what they put about you in it." Kakashi glared up about to say something but then frowned. Iruka knew him too good.
It didn't take long before they had finished eating. Kakashi loved to eat alone with Iruka, he wouldn't have to eat fast or starve just to hide his face. In fact he wasn't allowed to hide his face when he was home unless they had someone over because Iruka said home is a place without secrets. Kakashi stared around his room as Iruka fell asleep on his chest with their arms wrapped around each other. He was home.
'`'`'`'`'''`'`'`'`'`***'`'`'`'`'`'``'`'`'`'
"Kakashi?" Iruka whispered softly as the sun filled room gave the situation a quiet peace.
"Hn?" Kakashi smiled as he moved his head and faced Iruka who smiled boyishly back. The golden rays of the sun illuminating his already tan skin.
"We can't stay like this all day. It's just about noon, and I have to go do a lot of things before I can train today." Iruka untangled their legs and got up.
Kakashi let out a huff as Iruka jumped off the bed and stood over the jounin who was trying his best to seem sleepy. Iruka couldn't hold down his smile he was just going to have a great day. He looked around on the floor to find another shirt to change into after all pajamas weren't something you could wear in public.
Iruka smiled as he found a t-shirt that belonged to Kakashi on the floor. He quickly put it on and smiled at the jounin who smirked mischievously back at the boy. Kakashi pointed at Iruka letting his smirk only get bigger.
"What?" Iruka looked over at the mirror and jumped back when he saw a very noticeable mark on his neck.
"What the crap!?"
At that Kakashi started laughing. He laughed till he felt the bed move from someone getting on it and turned around in enough time to see Iruka push him off the bed. Kakashi hit the ground with a hard thud and let out a little breath of pain before he looked over at Iruka whose face returned to it's blushing phase.
"Kakashi! This isn't funny. Now what am I supposed to do? It's too hot to wear a turtleneck or a scarf! And all I have are t-shirts." Iruka looked worried.
Why wouldn't he be worried? Iruka had to meet Mizuki later for lunch so they could catch up and talk about the competition. He had a session with the Hokage after lunch, which he knew the Hokage would ask questions. He was going to meet some of his old friends.....and if he ran into Kurenai or Suzume his life would be over. Iruka had his first hickey.
"Hey I got an idea." Kakashi smiled before he left the room only to return quickly with a black object in his hand.
"What is that?" Iruka prayed it wasn't some girl's necklace or something worse, but he was desperate.
"It's a dog collar."
Not that desperate.
"I'm not wearing it." Iruka looked at Kakashi who showed the collar to Iruka fully.
It had a black band that would be buttoned together and had a silver charm that read 'D-chan' on it. Iruka knew the collar was for one of Kakashi's summoning dogs and the fact that it had chan on it didn't help.
"I never said you had to." Kakashi smiled and put the collar in his pocket. "Oh yeah tell me how the meeting with Hokage goes."
Before Kakashi knew it Iruka had the collar and was putting it on. The collar fit and it didn't look too bad......Iruka wanted to die. Kakashi told Iruka to suck it up and then laughed again before Iruka kicked him out of the room. Iruka looked in the mirror and grabbed a pair of white shorts to put on but left his fish net under shirt on but this time as a regular shirt.
Iruka looked in the mirror. He put his hair down and stared at someone he didn't recognize. The collar and the different outfit made Iruka seem older which made Iruka happy. He felt slightly self-conscious about the fish net shirt though because only playboys would wear their undershirts as regular shirts. Iruka looked in the mirror again and smiled. Maybe a new look was in order.
Kakashi was cooking some ramen when he saw Iruka and just stared at the boy walking across the house. Iruka looked up at him and blushed.
"How do I look?" Iruka looked at the ground.
"A lot more appetizing then my ramen right now." Iruka's blush deepened as he heard Kakashi say this. Kakashi smiled. "I think it's the new you."
'`'`'`'`'''`'`'`'`'`***'`'`'`'`'`'``'`'`'`'
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!"
Iruka stared at the ground with his cheeks slightly pink as Mizuki laughed. Iruka had barely made it into the restaurant when Mizuki recognized him and laughed at the collar. Iruka liked the new look but knew that it was a big change for him and that people would take it differently.
"I haven't seen you since we were told to go train and heal! I come back after a few weeks and you look.......look like this! Wow Iruka! It looks good, I think you needed a change from that blue suit you always wore." Mizuki stated as he wiped a tear that had formed from behind his eye.
"You still didn't have to laugh so hard. We got kicked out of the restaurant." Iruka mumbled as they walked on the street.
"My bad. I just wasn't expecting it that's all." Mizuki smirked as Iruka glared at him. "It looks good really."
They stopped at the ramen shop near Iruka's house and sat at a booth. They started talking about all the training they had done or lack of and how many attacks they had learned. Mizuki had finally mastered his fuma-clan shuriken, and Iruka had learned how to maintain balance without his hands that helped him speed up in his dodging. (Thanks to Kakashi of course!)
"Iruka?"
"What Mizuki?"
"What do you plan on doing when you become a chunin?" Mizuki placed his hands behind his head and leaned back on the wall they were standing by.
"I don't know......I guess I have been so busy lately it just slipped my mind. I will probably like to go work with the intelligence team like a spy but you have to a really good chunin or a jounin to get that kind of mission. How about you?"
"As long as I have power I don't care where I end up in rank. The chunin title will help me get missions though." Mizuki smirked and looked over at the clock. "You have a meeting with Hokage-sama at 3, yes?"
"Yes"
"Your late." With that Mizuki laughed at the cloud of smoke that was now beside him. He fiddled with his hitai-ate leaf headband that was now around his neck.

Chapter 7: Confession
'`'`'`'`'''`'`'`'`'`***'`'`'`'`'`'``'`'`'`'
Iruka sat up in his bed. It was raining outside his window and the sounds made it feel so peaceful in his room. Iruka got up and looked over at the clock. He wouldn't have to be awake for another two hours but Iruka knew he wouldn't be able to go back to sleep, after all the chunin exam was starting today.
Iruka sighed as he looked over his dark room that had a blue glow from the rain in the windows. He scratched his head for a second before he decided he should go ahead and take a shower. Maybe he could get some studying in before the big event.
Iruka opened the door and looked around his house. It was dark and peaceful; he noticed that Kakashi's stuff was laid out over the floor.
/ He probably didn't get home till really late. / Iruka thought to himself before he grabbed a towel from the hall closet and walked into the restroom.
The restroom was big for a normal household. It had a changing room that was more of the normal bathroom since it contained the toilet and sink. There was a huge wall that turned into a sliding door that would allow you to enter the bath and shower part. Iruka loved the bathtub that his dad had put into the house because it was huge, and the shower hung over it.
Iruka took off his cloths and opened the door to be overcome by hot mist. That was strange since Iruka couldn't hear the shower or the bathtub yet it felt like someone had just drawn a super hot bath.
Iruka walked slowly as he entered the room looked around to see if he could distinguish anything beneath the mist, when he slipped and fell into the bathtub. The water was above hot and the fact that when Iruka stood up the water reached his lower chest didn't help. Iruka tried to regain his senses, as his body seemed to be melting at the heat. He tried to get up but felt something push him back in the scorching water causing him to wince.
Iruka glared at the figure in front of him trying to make out who the intruder was.
Kakashi!
Iruka widened his eyes as he felt the water move telling him Kakashi had just entered the tub too. Iruka backed up till he could feel the wall of the tub against his back. What was he doing here and what was going on? Iruka waited as his body started to adapt to the hot water that surrounded him. It wasn't until he spotted Kakashi coming over to him did he decide something weird was going on.
"Hey Kakashi. Are you feeling okay?" Iruka had an uneasy tone in his voice and tried to make hands signals telling Kakashi to stop coming towards him.
Kakashi grabbed Iruka's hands and pulled the genin over to him. Iruka gasped as he felt Kakashi's lips against his. Iruka tried to get away but Kakashi grabbed both his wrist with one hand and wrapped the other arm around Iruka's waist.
Iruka couldn't help but let out a small moan as the felt there bodies being pressed together. What was this? Iruka felt Kakashi twist at his wrist causing the boy to gasp at the jolt of pain, Kakashi just smiled as he let his tongue into Iruka's mouth. Iruka's eyes widened at the intrusion but he slowly returned the kiss.
At this Kakashi let go of his wrist and pushed Iruka against the wall. Iruka grabbed both of Kakashi's shoulders as the jounin kissed him again. Iruka started to.............
BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. BEEP.
Iruka jumped out of his bed as if he had been attacked and glared at his alarm clock. This was the third week Iruka had been having 'those' kind of dreams. He hated to admit it but he had also grown a hate for his alarm clock that would wake his up right when the dream got good.
"Nest time I'll just force myself to make the first move in the dream and then maybe I can see where they all lead to." Iruka thought aloud even though he could probably give a really good guess to where the next scene in his dreams would lead.
And all of them had him as uke.
Iruka got up and turned his alarm clock. He hadn't noticed at first but he was sweating really badly and his heart rate seemed to be going faster than normal. Was it because of the dream? Iruka cursed himself underneath his breath as he took his shirt off that was soaking in his sweat.
Iruka looked over at the window as he heard something that seemed familiar, and sure enough it was raining. At least he knew why it was raining in his dream. Iruka walked out of his room not messing with his wet hair that stuck to the back of his neck. He felt like he had been sprayed with a hose.
Iruka looked over and saw a figure moving on the couch. Iruka approached it slowly as he saw the gray hair shimmer in the light that the rain had lit up the room with. Iruka watched for a while as Kakashi turned over in the couch. Why wasn't he in his bed?
"Kakashi?" Iruka whispered as the jounin slowly opened his eyes.
"Hn. Iruka?" Kakashi slowly sat up and got off the couch. "Do you need something?"
At this Iruka frowned. Kakashi always acted like he was Iruka's guardian and that annoyed the boy especially since he was developing a crush on the jounin.
"No. I was just wondering why you weren't in your bed. I bet it would be better on your neck." Iruka said this as Kakashi popped his neck then smiled.
"Well since I got home late I tried to sleep but my bed wasn't working for me so then I watched you sleep for a litt..........then I tried the couch and now you woke me up."
Iruka stared at Kakashi. Did he just say that he watched Iruka sleep? Iruka smiled at Kakashi before the jounin ducked as Iruka tried to hit him.
"Why were you watching me sleep?" Iruka continued to smile as his voice showed that he was angry and annoyed.
"You were just......so......peaceful.......I thought...... it........would" Kakashi stopped dodging Iruka's punches and pinned the genin to the couch with him leaning over him, "help."
Iruka shivered as he pictured Kakashi watching him sleep, it was creepy. Then Iruka's face flushed up, what if Kakashi was in there, and Iruka talked in his sleep? Iruka had a tendency to say things he dreamed about and with the dreams he had bee having lately! Iruka's thoughts were interrupted as he felt Kakashi get off him.
Kakashi yawned then he headed for his room while Iruka just started to pray that he had grown out of talking in his sleep. He put his hand through his hair and felt how wet it was from the sweat so he went to go take a shower.
'`'`'`'`'''`'`'`'`'`***'`'`'`'`'`'``'`'`'`'
Iruka felt his arm being tugged by Suzume. He knew that she had a fighting spirit but he would had never guessed she would have been so mad at him when he showed up two minutes late. He looked at the building they were entering; his team would be taking the chunin exam today.
Iruka was amazed at all the different shinobi in the room and was glad that he recognized each of the villages since forgetting everything you learned now would have been a bad sign. Iruka sighed as he and his team took a seat while everyone waited for the exam to begin.
It started off with a written test, which Iruka breezed through since he would read all kinds of ninja books for his free time. He looked over at his two teammates and gave them a smug smile to show that he had completed the test and the boy did a few hands seals before his body went to sleep and Iruka jolted in his chair.
Iruka's other teammate was the cousin to Yamanaka Inoshi who was known for his mind body switch technique. It wasn't long before Iruka regained his senses and saw that the other teammates had gotten the answers. Iruka enjoyed that fact that he was considered the brain of the team; from forbidden jutsus to how a Sharingan eye works; Iruka was a genius.
The other tests; though extremely hard; seemed to go by fast. It wasn't long before the last test came up and everyone would be going against each other. Iruka stared at the match up bored with a huge grin on his face. If he and Mizuki won their first matches they would get to go against each other.
They had a month to train and heal from the other tests. Sadly the boy in Iruka's team had broken his arm and decided he would just take the exam later. Iruka was sad because he wanted everyone to graduate with him. He sighed as he plopped down on his bed and stared at the ceiling.
"Good job Iruka." Iruka turned his aching body so he could see Kakashi smiling at him. "I got to watch you guys in the forest on screen. Suzume has a killer instinct when she is mad, doesn't she?"
Iruka tried to laugh but all the endorphins that had been holding off the pain his body was going through left so it sound more like a moan. Kakashi jumped on the bed causing Iruka's body to bounce, which made Iruka wince in pain ad he heard his bones crack. Kakashi just smiled and made his way over to his friend.
"Hey you need to get up and train. Your first opponent is from the village hidden in the stones. You should know that they are known for their specialties in....." Kakashi stopped and looked down as Iruka curled into a ball and slept silently.
Kakashi sighed as he stood up and hit Iruka on the head. Iruka screamed and glared up at Kakashi who was smiling under his mask. Iruka rubbed his head and mumbled some things that Kakashi really didn't take notice of as he waited for the boy to stand up. Iruka slowly picked himself up and glared out of spite. He hated that Kakashi was right and that he needed to train but since Kakashi wasn't going to let him sleep he might as well give up.
"Take a shower first so you can refresh yourself." Kakashi waved as he left Iruka alone mumbling threats under his breath.
Iruka winced as the water hit his wounds. They hadn't completely healed yet so the water made it sting. Iruka turned off the water and put his pants on realizing he left his shirt and bandages in the living room. He walked into the living room sighing as he saw Kakashi sitting on the couch.
"What took you so lon........?" Kakashi walked over to Iruka and lead the boy over to a stool.
Iruka stared at Kakashi trying to see what he was up to when he felt Kakashi's cold fingers trace some of his scars and new wounds that were made during the exam.
"Hey! Hey! If you're going to gawk at me then at least you could do some of the bandaging." Iruka yelled trying not to show a blush from the contact of the jounin.
Kakashi laughed as he got the bandages and started working on the fresh cuts while Iruka put some healing lotion on the ones that wouldn't scar. They spent a few minutes in silence doing their jobs till Iruka looked over at Kakashi who still had his mask one. Iruka lifted his arms as Kakashi circled his body wrapping the bandage around so it wouldn't fall off. Kakashi stopped when he was directly in front of Iruka and wrapped his arms around the genin so he could tie the end of it in the back.
Iruka couldn't hold the blush in as Kakashi's head rested on his shoulder and his two arms were fiddling with the knot he was trying to tie. Kakashi smiled as he told himself he should've just gone around and avoided the unnecessary body contact but then the other side of him applauded the effort to touch Iruka.
Iruka tensed as Kakashi accidentally tied the knot too hard causing the wound to hurt. His legs grabbed Kakashi's waist as if they were trying to give Kakashi the pain Iruka had just felt. Kakashi blushed and was glad he left his mask on as he leaned back but didn't go that far as Iruka still had his legs pressing hard on Kakashi's thighs. Kakashi gave Iruka a confused look with his only visible eye as Iruka tried to yell at his body for not letting the jounin go.
"Iruka?"
"I umm........I ........Thank.......Thank you." Iruka blushed but he looked up at Kakashi. Iruka was finally able to let go of Kakashi and made his way over to his room to find a shirt.
Kakashi watched the boy and sighed. He knew his feelings for Iruka. Kakashi hated how everything about Iruka would get under his skin, how he cared so much for someone so young. Kakashi thought he was starting to hate everything about Iruka before he realized that he actually had fallen in love with the young teen. The best part of it all was Kakashi 'the genius' had no idea how to tell Iruka how he felt.
"Kakashi!" Iruka yelled from his room before he stuck his head out to peer at the jounin.
"Yes?" Kakashi asked Iruka in a plain emotionless voice, he tried to block all the images of Iruka yelling his name out in other situations in his head. He really was a pervert and he knew it, he would wish though that his mind would give it a rest before he got a nosebleed.
"What training are we going to do today? I was hoping to go over nin jutsus with you since you are considered the master." Iruka walked out of his room with a small smirk on his face as he put his sandals on.
"I see....." Kakashi glared at Iruka with a bored look before he smiled under his mask. "I guess I am the master and you do need a lot of help."
They both laughed quietly before they headed out to go train. Iruka grabbed a few of his weapons but left the ones he would normally bring because he really wanted to focus on learning nin jutsus and not on weapon combat. Kakashi smiled as they both walked talking like friends and laughing like friends.
That's when it hit him. Friends. Is that all they were? Kakashi grew quiet as he started thinking about it. He loved his friendship with Iruka but he wouldn't be able to keep fooling himself in thinking that his feelings weren't more. Kakashi looked over at the teen that smiled at him and grinned at the setting sun.
Some of Iruka's hair fell out of its holder as a breeze came by. Kakashi just stared as Iruka smirked pulling the hair behind his ear. Kakashi had to tell Iruka how he felt, if he didn't then he was afraid that maybe he would miss out on something but he didn't know what.
"Kakashi....are you okay?" Kakashi looked over at Iruka from the branch he had made his way on. "Did you want something? You kept staring at me funny."
"......." Kakashi blushed underneath his facemask. This was his chance. "Iruka I........"
"Hey Iruka-san!" A tall teen ran up to Iruka and did a small bow.
"Oh hey there Seiko-san." Iruka did a small bow back and started a small conversation with the teen forgetting all about the fact that Kakashi was about to tell him something.
Kakashi hit the back of his head against the tree and sighed. He looked over at the teenager talking to Iruka.
Seiko stood a head over Iruka and had short dark blue hair. He wore a Hidden Mist headband on his forehead and had his left ear pierced. He wore some baggy pants and had a piece of cloth wrapped around his waist but his top body was uncovered and showed off his tan skin. Seiko had a tattoo on his right arm that showed he belonged to one of the prestigious clans in the Hidden Mist.
Kakashi growled when he noticed how close Seiko had gotten to Iruka when it hit him. Seiko blushed slightly when Iruka laughed which caused Kakashi to jump off his branch and walk over to the two boys. He wouldn't let someone make a move on Iruka without him finally telling the teen how he felt.
"Iruka we need to finish training." Iruka looked over at Kakashi from the story he was telling Seiko and looked at the sky.
"It's getting kind of late Kakashi, lets just take a break." Kakashi sighed as Iruka smiled at him. If only the genin knew how he felt.
"So this is Kakashi-san! I am glad to finally meet the man who Iruka-san is always talking about." Seiko put his hand out to Kakashi and smiled.
Kakashi stared at Seiko's eyes as he shook the hand and smirked under his mask. So Iruka had been talking about Kakashi had he?
"....So I am going to hang out with Seiko for awhile okay Kakashi. See you later." Kakashi popped out of his thoughts as he saw Iruka walk away with Seiko.
It finally dawned on Kakashi what just happened. He let Iruka go away with some stranger that had become a possible threat to his and Iruka's "relationship". Kakashi looked over at the setting sun and realized he was late to work and took off. Kakashi knew he didn't have to worry about Iruka but there was something about Seiko Kakashi didn't like.
'`'`'`'`'''`'`'`'`'`***'`'`'`'`'`'``'`'`'`'
Iruka turned over in his bed and let the moonlight shine in his face. The sky was perfectly clear and the stars helped light up the dark room. Iruka turned over again this time realizing his head had somehow gotten to the foot of the bed. He sighed and sat up letting the covers wrap around his body.
Iruka moved over as he noticed something different in his room. His eyes widened as he saw a gray haired shinobi sleeping in a chair pointed to where Iruka had just been sleeping. Iruka shivered at the thought, he might have been having feelings for Kakashi, but he didn't like the thought of people watching him while he slept.
Iruka stared at Kakashi for a second and looked at how the moonlight seemed to bring out the features of the jounin. Iruka slowly crawled over on his bed to where he could lean over the mattress and look at the jounin closer. Was this a dream?
Iruka had been having many dreams lately but this one was different. Iruka looked over the room again before he returned to staring at Kakashi. In his dreams Kakashi was always awake and never had his uniform on so why was this different? Iruka placed his hands on the jounin's face waking up the sleepy Kakashi. Kakashi just stared at Iruka who slowly pulled down the jounin's mask.
Kakashi looked at Iruka and could tell the genin hadn't been sleeping well and it was 4 hours before he had to wake up. Iruka's eyes were dilated and his breath was erratic but he would not take his eyes off of Kakashi's. Kakashi stared silently back and gasped as Iruka slid his hands around the jounin's face and into the jounin's hair. Iruka played in the gray hair for a second and smiled.
"I don't think I am dreaming........but I can't prove that I'm not." Before Kakashi could say something, Iruka pulled him forward and kissed him.
Kakashi stopped breathing as Iruka relaxed his muscles and released the kiss. Kakashi just stared in awe at Iruka while Iruka pulled him off his chair and brought the jounin to where he was sitting. Iruka smiled as he grabbed Kakashi and pulled him down so that the jounin was now over him. Kakashi was about to say something as his face flushed up but Iruka just kissed him again.
"Too bad dreams aren't real eh Kakashi?" Iruka kissed the jounin again before he scooted up on the bed and pulled Kakashi up so he could place his head on the jounin's chest. "I know that this isn't like my other dreams but isn't this so much better?"
Iruka continued to talk to himself, as Kakashi remained silent. Kakashi wanted to tell Iruka right then and there how he felt but judging at the lack of sleep the genin had had and the way Iruka was talking. The teen probably would think it was just a dream and Kakashi wanted to tell him in a better moment, a moment the genin would always remember.
Iruka slowly started to fall asleep as Kakashi began to play with his hair. Kakashi smiled as he reminded himself why he liked Iruka so much. When Iruka was finally down for the count Kakashi slid out of the room and fell asleep with a huge smile on his face. Iruka had dreams about him, Iruka kissed him, and Iruka as far as Kakashi knew it was his.
'`'`'`'`'''`'`'`'`'`***'`'`'`'`'`'``'`'`'`'
"Iruka! Are we going to practice or am I allowed to sleep! I'm 16 ya know! I need my sleep and if you're not going to train then there is no reason for me to wake up this early!" Kakashi yelled as he went around the house.
Iruka came out of his room mumbling stuff about how Kakashi shouldn't be so loud at 5 am but plopped on the couch making himself comfortable. Kakashi stopped when he saw Iruka's feet hanging over one end of the couch and walked over slowly to see the boy had fallen asleep again.
"WAKE UP!" Iruka fell off the couch and grabbed his chest as if he was afraid that his heart was failing at the young age of 13.
"OH KAMI! Why did you do that Kakashi?" Iruka glared at the jounin as he got up. "And stop covering your face when you are here, it's been over a year since you've lived here yet you still cover it up no matter what I say."
"Well if I do it no matter what you say and you know this then why do you say anything?" Kakashi smirked under his mask.
"Smart mouth." Iruka sighed as Kakashi pulled down his mask and continued to move stuff around. Iruka looked over at him as he moved the couch to the wall leaving a big space in the middle of the living room.
"What are you doing?" Iruka raised one eyebrow at Kakashi.
"We are going to spar, but using limited space. It will teach you to use the room you have more efficiently and help with close combat." Kakashi smiled as he noticed Iruka looked worried.
"But this is the living room! I have breakable stuff everywhere, this is stuff that my parents left." Iruka would have continued but Kakashi gave him an annoyed glare.
"That is why we are training in here. You need to be more careful when you fight so if you have certain environments that call for it you will be prepared."
Iruka nodded as he stared at his stuff for one last time. He moved some of his mom's favorite collectables then went to his room before Kakashi could yell at him. This was going to be a long day.
'`'`'`'`'''`'`'`'`'`***'`'`'`'`'`'``'`'`'`'
"I.....hate.....you." Iruka panted as he laid on the ground. "And why .....did you tie......my wrists.....again?"
Kakashi sat down on the ground next to the figure and let the sweat drip down his face. He smiled as he saw Iruka try to get up but from the way he fell and the fact his hands were tied behind his back, it made it very difficult for him. Kakashi sighed, as Iruka was finally able to sit up and glare at the jounin waiting for an answer.
"I tied your hands behind your back to teach you how to fight without your hands and to better balance yourself. About after the third lamp you broke I decided that you needed the training in that too. This is a train as we go session.....and you need help." Kakashi smirked as Iruka's glare deepened.
"I just wanted help in nin jutsus..." Iruka sighed as Kakashi stood up.
"But you can't perfect one thing till you perfect the rest. Remember that Iruka...a leopard can't hide in the shadows until it can control all of its spots." Kakashi tried to do a visual example but after feeling another heat wave from the room he left to go open some windows.
"Turn on the air conditioning! We are inside!" Iruka yelled as Kakashi turned out of sight.
"The bill is already high enough! I'm just opening a few windows...maybe all of them." Iruka sighed loud enough for Kakashi to hear even though he was in the next room.
They had gone through the basics in no time. Kakashi hated to admit it but Iruka knew the basics like no one he had ever met, which gave the shinobi an upper hand since the basics were hardly ever mastered. Iruka was definitely the first of his kind.
Kakashi stayed at the window for a moment letting the cool breeze of summer hit his body. His hair started to go in rhythm along side the wind, which Kakashi mused that it was a dance. He looked over to see Iruka had gotten out of the rope, which he could have done a long time ago but since Kakashi wouldn't let him, he remained in them till the jounin left the room.
Knock. Knock.
Kakashi walked into the living room as Iruka jumped up from the ground and ran to the door. Who would be visiting today? In fact who would be visiting this month? Usually all the Hidden Villages and missions would halt for the month that the participants in the chunin exam would train and heal. Or at least some people would be lucky enough to get a break because the missions in reality never stopped. Kakashi had asked the Hokage for time off to help Iruka, which was granted because many of the other Jounins didn't mind taking his load of jobs for that time.
Kakashi mumbled under his breath as Iruka stepped aside to allow Seiko into their house. Seiko stopped for a second when he noticed Kakashi and looked over the jounin. Kakashi hadn't really bothered putting on a shirt that morning since he planned to do the inside training first, but Iruka was in his usual training outfit. Iruka hadn't noticed at first but Kakashi had put a scarf around his face to cover where his usual facemask would be located and his hair covered his left eye. Iruka laughed as Kakashi looked ridiculous that very second.
"Kakashi why don't you go change." Iruka nodded for Kakashi to go leave and put his mask and headband on but Kakashi just sighed and slowly left. "What brings you here Seiko-san? I thought you would be training with your other two teammates."
"We trained this morning and realized that wasn't helping so we went our separate ways and decided to meet up two weeks before the month is over." Seiko smiled as Iruka put all his hair back into a ponytail. "I wanted to know if you wanted to go training with me for a week?"
Kakashi appeared out of nowhere and was suddenly right beside Iruka. Iruka jumped back from the shock of how Kakashi just decided to pop up when he was going to say something. Seiko looked at Kakashi weird for a moment then smirked very cockily as he realized what was going on or as he thought of the top three reasons Kakashi was so defensive over Iruka and the top two had to deal with the same issues.
"I'm helping him train." Kakashi stated firmly hiding the threatening tone from Iruka but glaring at Seiko.
"Kakashi! Don't be so rude for kami's sake......let me think about it okay Seiko-san. I can give you an answer tomorrow morning." Iruka bowed apologetically as Seiko bowed back.
"Sure thing. Oh yeah and Iruka-san, you missed a piece." Seiko pushed a piece of Iruka's hair behind the boy's ears causing Iruka to blush from embarrassment.
Kakashi received the message. Seiko was now his rival but what got Kakashi going was that Seiko wouldn't be in the Hidden Leaf for long. Why would he want to start a relationship that wouldn't last? Kakashi could only think of a few reasons and all ended with someone getting hurt, mainly Iruka and Kakashi wasn't going to let that happen.
Seiko smirked again at Kakashi causing the jounin to plot ways of killing the genin but decided that wasn't necessary........yet.
'`'`'`'`'''`'`'`'`'`***'`'`'`'`'`'``'`'`'`'
The door closed while Iruka fidgeted with the piece of hair Seiko had just touched. A slight blush formed on his cheeks but he felt a chill go down his spine as he let go and smiled at Kakashi. Kakashi just stared in disbelief. Did this mean Iruka might have feelings for the mist-nin? Kakashi could feel his heart breaking but stopped breathing for a second. He would have to tell Iruka as quickly as possible.
"Kakashi....you wouldn't mind if I went training with Seiko-san right? I mean I think it would be good for me to fight someone else for a change." Iruka stared at Kakashi and felt bad for some reason. He hadn't done anything yet he felt like he needed to apologize. "I'm sor..."
"You can't go." Kakashi interrupted Iruka and stared at him sternly.
"What?" Iruka stared at the jounin with a very confused look.
"I said you ca..."
"What do you think gives you the right to say something like that? Your not my parents nor are you my guardian Kakashi, therefore you have no right to treat me like a kid." Iruka started to walk away but turned around as he walked backwards to his room to pack.
"Why can't I go Kakashi? Give me your reasons to not wanting me to go so that I can think over them while I'm there."
Kakashi sighed for a second. So this is what an argument with Iruka was like, full of sarcasm and cynical bitterness towards the opposing force. Kakashi thought for a second as he heard Iruka close the door to his room. He had so many answers but which ones to tell him. Kakashi went over and entered Iruka's room to find the genin digging through his closet.
"You can't g....you shouldn't go because he has ulterior motives." Kakashi thought about what he just said and then yelled at himself for sounding so much like a sitcom dad.
"What do you assume his motives are Kakashi? Is he going to tell me ghost stories at a campfire, which might cause some strange psychological side effects that will prevent me from performing in the chunin exam? I think I can take care of myself." Iruka rolled his eyes.
"I think he....he likes you Iruka." Iruka looked over at Kakashi with a 'No Duh he likes me because we wouldn't be friends if he hated me' glare.
"I mean he likes you likes you." Iruka looked over at Kakashi again. The jounin was staring at the ground with a few occasional glances at the teen he was talking to.
"What do you think he's going to rape me?" Iruka started laughing at the thought. Was Kakashi serious?
"He might, you never know. He could be desperate." Kakashi looked over at Iruka who just stared at the jounin in disbelief.
"Why in the world are you acting like this? I can take care of myself Kakashi! You don't need to act like some jealous boyfriend, I mean its not like we are lovers." Iruka walked over to Kakashi and put his hands on his hips.
Kakashi stared at Iruka for a second. The genin obviously just wanted to train the best he could but Kakashi didn't want to take the chance of something happening. After all he did love the boy.
"Do you want to be?" Kakashi's voice seemed to echo throughout the entire house as Iruka stared at him trying to break apart the sentence.
"WHAT?" Iruka backed up a few feet.
"Do you want to be lovers?" Kakashi approached Iruka till he backed the boy in the bedpost. Kakashi leaned in a brushed his lips on Iruka's.
Iruka didn't allow his eyes to blink as he stared at Kakashi. Did he just ask what he thought he just asked? Iruka opened his mouth to say something but nothing came out as Kakashi slid his tongue into the boy's mouth. Iruka did the first thing his mind thought of and bit down.
"OW!" Kakashi jolted back putting his fingers on his tongue and was glad to see there was no blood. Kakashi glared at Iruka for a second before he walked over to the genin again.
Iruka tried to back away but didn't have anywhere to go so he fell on the bed. Iruka yelled at himself, being on the bed could make the situation worse. Before Iruka could get up Kakashi pushed him down and started to kiss him. Iruka gasped as one of Kakashi's hands went under his shirt. Kakashi was cold against Iruka's warm body. Kakashi enjoyed how Iruka moved and was working on kissing Iruka's bottom lip when Iruka finally aloud his tongue inside.
Iruka felt scared, happy, confused, passionate, and weak all at once. He knew that he could throw Kakashi off of him but for some reason he felt that all his strength had left him. Iruka thought of ways he could over power the jounin but in reality he would only be able to hold his own for a while because Kakashi was still stronger than him, but then again did he want to leave?
They were on the bed. Iruka was sandwiched in between the bed and Kakashi. Iruka's mind thought the situation over and over again before he realized Kakashi had undid his shirt. Iruka tried to move now he wasn't ready. He loved Kakashi but he was only 13 he couldn't, not yet. Iruka started to squirm a bit as Kakashi kissed his neck.
Kakashi started to move more gently as Iruka squirmed. He watched Iruka closely waiting to see what the boy would do when it hit him. What was he doing? Kakashi all the sudden felt very sick, he was sick. He stopped what he was doing and moved away off of Iruka. What gave him the right to do that to Iruka? Iruka wasn't his and even if he was, Kakashi didn't have a right to touch Iruka without his consent. Kakashi felt dirty all of the sudden.
Iruka was frozen. He couldn't move from where he was let alone breath. What had just happened? One second him and Kakashi were so close to each other and now there was only a cool air moving over his body. Iruka slowly turned his head to see Kakashi with a very mad expression on his face staring at the wall. Was he responsible for making Kakashi mad?
Kakashi just stared until he got a chill and looked over at Iruka who stared straight back. As soon as their eyes met Kakashi turned away. He couldn't even look at Iruka now, what if Iruka hated him? What if he had ruined their friendship? Kakashi knew that there had been many other incidents but this one was different. Kakashi got up off the bed and left the room as Iruka watched him.
Iruka heard the shower turn on and decided this was a good time to move. He got up and looked in the mirror. His hair and fallen down when he was on the bed. Iruka let his hair fall on his face as he followed the path Kakashi had just gone on. Iruka had to apologize for making Kakashi mad. He opened the door to the restroom and saw that there was no steam. Kakashi was taking a cold shower?
Kakashi turned around as he heard the shower door open and was surprised to see Iruka. He looked down this time trying to avoid eye contact. He let the water fall on him even if he was still in his cloths. Kakashi needed to cool off quick so he didn't bother taking off his cloths in the shower. Kakashi turned around to face Iruka and was shocked as he felt two arms wrap around his body.
Iruka hugged Kakashi and placed his head on the jounin's chest. He waited for a response and smiled softly when he wasn't pushed off. The cold water caused him to shiver a little bit but then he ignored it and buried his face into Kakashi's chest.
"I'm sorry Kakashi. Please don't be mad." Iruka whispered softly.
Kakashi just stared down amazed at Iruka. Kakashi was the one that should be apologizing yet Iruka was the one that felt guilty. Kakashi didn't know what to do so he grabbed Iruka and hugged the teen tightly. Iruka looked up at Kakashi and smiled before he leaned upward and kissed the jounin. After that Iruka let go and started to leave the shower but felt Kakashi's hand wrap around his own.
"I love you Iruka." Iruka turned around and blushed as Kakashi brushed his lips against Iruka's. "I don't deserve it, but I was still hoping that maybe you could love me back."
Kakashi kissed Iruka again as Iruka blushed beautifully. After Kakashi released the kiss he smiled at Iruka as the genin put his fingers through the gray hair. Iruka smiled gently at him before he kissed the jounin.
"I love you too Kakashi."
'`'`'`'`'''`'`'`'`'`***'`'`'`'`'`'``'`'`'`'
"Sorry Seiko-san I won't be joining you on your trip." Iruka did a small bow as he waved his friend bye. "Well that wasn't so hard now was it, Kakashi?"
Iruka turned to a tree where Kakashi had been hiding through out the whole conversation.
"How did you know I was there?" Kakashi popped out and stared at his love. "Don't tell me I'm getting that sloppy."
"I don't know. Just felt you there...............maybe it's because we've lived together for so long. Like one of those unexplainable bonds." Iruka added plenty of sarcasm as he spoke which made Kakashi smirk.
"Smart-aleck."
"Rusty old man."
"Brat."
"Jerk."
"Bookworm."
"Playboy."
"Uke."
"........"
"I WIN!" Kakashi grabbed Iruka by the hand and did a few hand seals before Iruka could even realize what he was doing they were surrounded by smoke.
They appeared in Kakashi's room and landed on the bed. Iruka looked around and smirked. He still had to train before the competition, the last part of the exam would be in one week and Iruka had only train for half the time since him and Kakashi had gotten together. Iruka looked over as he noticed the position they were in. Kakashi was over him grinning like mad under his facemask and Iruka was lying on the bed with his hands pinned down by the jounin's hands.
"Teme....." Iruka whispered as he kissed Kakashi.
"You're still on the bottom Ir-UKE! ? " Kakashi laughed as Iruka pushed him off the bed.
They hadn't had sex yet because their relationship was still new and Kakashi didn't want to force Iruka into anything just because Kakashi was older and Iruka was younger. They both wanted to just let things play out.
Iruka jumped off Kakashi's bed before he went into the kitchen and made some ramen for dinner. It was getting late and Iruka had a busy day ahead of him. He felt Kakashi's arms wrap around his waist was smiled as the jounin leaned over his shoulder.
"What are making?"
"I am making noodles a la miso!" Iruka smiled as he heard Kakashi laugh.
"My favorite." Kakashi kissed the back of Iruka's head before he left the kitchen only to return with a manga in his hand.
"You know for a genius your reading material is a bit off." Iruka wasn't a big manga fan; personally he loved to read educational books or true stories.
"I have to turn off my brain sometime you know."
"I know, and I have been telling you to turn it back on for the past three years." Iruka chided cynically.
Kakashi just sighed and left the kitchen to go sit in the living room. First Iruka had made him promise to wait and read Icha Icha Paradise when he was actually legal to when he had first moved in and now he was being made fun of. Kakashi looked over and saw the book Iruka was currently reading.
"The Different Legend." Kakashi read out loud than looked at the back. The book was about certain types of nin jutsus and jitsu that had been mastered and talked about which ones were hard to do. Kakashi went straight to the page that Iruka had left off on.
Kakashi skimmed the page real quick and was amazed to find his name in there. Iruka had circled it and the short paragraph of information that came along with it. How odd. Normally Kakashi would get info if he was ever put into a book but he had never heard of this one. It talked about how he had mastered almost 1000 jutsus. Kakashi laughed when he thought about it. In a few years he would know more than that with the missions he usually got.
"Kakashi dinner is......" Iruka stopped when he saw Kakashi reading his book and smiled.
"It doesn't count as reading if your only reading what they put about you in it." Kakashi glared up about to say something but then frowned. Iruka knew him too good.
It didn't take long before they had finished eating. Kakashi loved to eat alone with Iruka, he wouldn't have to eat fast or starve just to hide his face. In fact he wasn't allowed to hide his face when he was home unless they had someone over because Iruka said home is a place without secrets. Kakashi stared around his room as Iruka fell asleep on his chest with their arms wrapped around each other. He was home.
'`'`'`'`'''`'`'`'`'`***'`'`'`'`'`'``'`'`'`'
"Kakashi?" Iruka whispered softly as the sun filled room gave the situation a quiet peace.
"Hn?" Kakashi smiled as he moved his head and faced Iruka who smiled boyishly back. The golden rays of the sun illuminating his already tan skin.
"We can't stay like this all day. It's just about noon, and I have to go do a lot of things before I can train today." Iruka untangled their legs and got up.
Kakashi let out a huff as Iruka jumped off the bed and stood over the jounin who was trying his best to seem sleepy. Iruka couldn't hold down his smile he was just going to have a great day. He looked around on the floor to find another shirt to change into after all pajamas weren't something you could wear in public.
Iruka smiled as he found a t-shirt that belonged to Kakashi on the floor. He quickly put it on and smiled at the jounin who smirked mischievously back at the boy. Kakashi pointed at Iruka letting his smirk only get bigger.
"What?" Iruka looked over at the mirror and jumped back when he saw a very noticeable mark on his neck.
"What the crap!?"
At that Kakashi started laughing. He laughed till he felt the bed move from someone getting on it and turned around in enough time to see Iruka push him off the bed. Kakashi hit the ground with a hard thud and let out a little breath of pain before he looked over at Iruka whose face returned to it's blushing phase.
"Kakashi! This isn't funny. Now what am I supposed to do? It's too hot to wear a turtleneck or a scarf! And all I have are t-shirts." Iruka looked worried.
Why wouldn't he be worried? Iruka had to meet Mizuki later for lunch so they could catch up and talk about the competition. He had a session with the Hokage after lunch, which he knew the Hokage would ask questions. He was going to meet some of his old friends.....and if he ran into Kurenai or Suzume his life would be over. Iruka had his first hickey.
"Hey I got an idea." Kakashi smiled before he left the room only to return quickly with a black object in his hand.
"What is that?" Iruka prayed it wasn't some girl's necklace or something worse, but he was desperate.
"It's a dog collar."
Not that desperate.
"I'm not wearing it." Iruka looked at Kakashi who showed the collar to Iruka fully.
It had a black band that would be buttoned together and had a silver charm that read 'D-chan' on it. Iruka knew the collar was for one of Kakashi's summoning dogs and the fact that it had chan on it didn't help.
"I never said you had to." Kakashi smiled and put the collar in his pocket. "Oh yeah tell me how the meeting with Hokage goes."
Before Kakashi knew it Iruka had the collar and was putting it on. The collar fit and it didn't look too bad......Iruka wanted to die. Kakashi told Iruka to suck it up and then laughed again before Iruka kicked him out of the room. Iruka looked in the mirror and grabbed a pair of white shorts to put on but left his fish net under shirt on but this time as a regular shirt.
Iruka looked in the mirror. He put his hair down and stared at someone he didn't recognize. The collar and the different outfit made Iruka seem older which made Iruka happy. He felt slightly self-conscious about the fish net shirt though because only playboys would wear their undershirts as regular shirts. Iruka looked in the mirror again and smiled. Maybe a new look was in order.
Kakashi was cooking some ramen when he saw Iruka and just stared at the boy walking across the house. Iruka looked up at him and blushed.
"How do I look?" Iruka looked at the ground.
"A lot more appetizing then my ramen right now." Iruka's blush deepened as he heard Kakashi say this. Kakashi smiled. "I think it's the new you."
'`'`'`'`'''`'`'`'`'`***'`'`'`'`'`'``'`'`'`'
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!"
Iruka stared at the ground with his cheeks slightly pink as Mizuki laughed. Iruka had barely made it into the restaurant when Mizuki recognized him and laughed at the collar. Iruka liked the new look but knew that it was a big change for him and that people would take it differently.
"I haven't seen you since we were told to go train and heal! I come back after a few weeks and you look.......look like this! Wow Iruka! It looks good, I think you needed a change from that blue suit you always wore." Mizuki stated as he wiped a tear that had formed from behind his eye.
"You still didn't have to laugh so hard. We got kicked out of the restaurant." Iruka mumbled as they walked on the street.
"My bad. I just wasn't expecting it that's all." Mizuki smirked as Iruka glared at him. "It looks good really."
They stopped at the ramen shop near Iruka's house and sat at a booth. They started talking about all the training they had done or lack of and how many attacks they had learned. Mizuki had finally mastered his fuma-clan shuriken, and Iruka had learned how to maintain balance without his hands that helped him speed up in his dodging. (Thanks to Kakashi of course!)
"Iruka?"
"What Mizuki?"
"What do you plan on doing when you become a chunin?" Mizuki placed his hands behind his head and leaned back on the wall they were standing by.
"I don't know......I guess I have been so busy lately it just slipped my mind. I will probably like to go work with the intelligence team like a spy but you have to a really good chunin or a jounin to get that kind of mission. How about you?"
"As long as I have power I don't care where I end up in rank. The chunin title will help me get missions though." Mizuki smirked and looked over at the clock. "You have a meeting with Hokage-sama at 3, yes?"
"Yes"
"Your late." With that Mizuki laughed at the cloud of smoke that was now beside him. He fiddled with his hitai-ate leaf headband that was now around his neck.
