Chapter 10: Truth or Dare?
'`'`'`'`'''`'`'`'`'`***'`'`'`'`'`'``'`'`'`'
"So where did Kakashi-san go this morning?" Hitomi finished putting on her golden wrap around her dress and went out the door Iruka was holding open for her.
"He had a mission, but he will be back soon." Iruka blushed lightly when he thought of Kakashi and sighed.
Hitomi watched Iruka from the corner of her eye, as he started playing with his hair and frowning at it. The morning sun called all the villagers from their dreams and the street they were walking on slowly came back to life as it had been yesterday.
"So why did you cut your hair?"
"Huh?" Iruka raised an eyebrow over at Hitomi as she smiled.
"I was looking at your pictures you had scattered through out your house and all of them had you with long hair."
Iruka remembered Hitomi giving herself a tour while Iruka gave Kakashi a good bye. He looked at her and smiled before he looked at the rising sun and squinted his eyes.
"I guess you can say I didn't get much of an option when it was cut." Iruka laughed a little as Hitomi just looked at him weird and then gave up.
"So what brings you here Hitomi-chan?" Iruka sat down on a park bench that they were walking by and waited for her to join him. He remembered the Hokage having suspicions about her stay here.
"Oh.....um I......I guess there is no harm in telling you." Hitomi sat down in a manner that would be considered rude by just flopping in the bench startling Iruka a bit.
"Telling me what?" Iruka began to think maybe the Hokage was right but was that good or bad?
"The real reason I'm here is because when I return to my village I will be forced to marry some jerk from my village." She sighed. "I'm only 15! I don't want to get married even if the guy is drop dead gorgeous!"
Iruka tried to think of something to say but then just sighed and waited to see if she was going to say anything else. Well at least now he knew she wasn't a threat.
"He's 21, isn't that illegal? Well anyway despite all the facts I was told I would have to marry him when I return unless, get this, I find my true love! Isn't that so cliché? I hate my parents!" Hitomi gave out a small laughter. "And to make matters worse I might be killed if I leave this village!"
"What? Why?" That information caught Iruka off guard.
"Oh it isn't thing serious it just turned out that at the last village I visited they were celebrated some holiday where your future can be told and all that good stuff........and well I apparently pissed off the heathen gods to the point where my fortune is that I will die before I return home."
"Oh that's it? I thought you were going to say someone was after your life, don't worry about superstitions like that Hitomi-chan they never come true." Iruka laughed as Hitomi glared at him.
"Just so you know I am very superstitious! I believe all that stuff." Iruka smiled apologetically.
Iruka and Hitomi walked around all of Konoha till it was about dinnertime and Iruka remembered he was supposed to see the Hokage after he gave Hitomi a tour. He left Hitomi in the waiting room as he climbed up the stair of Hokage tower to get to the Hokage's office. Once he made it to the two big doors he was happy to see the Hokage in a better mood.
"You seem to be happy Hokage-sama." Iruka smiled as he approached the man with a pipe.
"Happy maybe not happy but in a better atmosphere yes. I have two things to be happy about Iruka-kun how many things do you have?" The Hokage smiled as he took a seat behind his desk.
Iruka smiled and pulled out his fingers to start counting even if he was just joking around.
"I have three things to be happy about Hokage-sama! I have Kakashi and I have good health and my mission is going as easy as pie so far!" Iruka sat down in a chair in front of the Hokage as the old man nodded. "What about you?"
"I just found out my son is getting married and the war with the Cloud is over." Iruka's face brightened in shock as he smiled even bigger. "They are going to send a representative over here next week."
"That's great! I can't believe your son is getting married! And to top that off the war is over! That means Kakashi won't have to go back out!" Iruka gave the Hokage a confused look, as the Hokage seemed to be a little disturbed for a second. "Something wrong?"
"Don't worry Iruka-kun just remember that since we will be signing a treaty I will busy, I have to make sure we aren't taken advantage of." The Hokage waited for Iruka to nod and then continued. "Now about you and Kakashi........you haven't done anything yet have you?"
Iruka blushed as he shook his head. He couldn't believe the Hokage just asked him something so personal but noticed the Hokage smile a bit and nod.
"I just don't want you two do anything you might regret Iruka, I mean your young so don't push things forward too quickly." Iruka sighed and nodded he always got some form of the 'talk' whenever he visited the Hokage.
"Oh Hitomi is downstairs I guess I should head back." Iruka got up as the Hokage watched him.
"About her have you found anything to doubt her visit here?"
"Well she has a different reason for being here than just a vacation but other than that; the only thing she could harm with her visit is if the representative from the Cloud turns out to be her true love." Iruka laughed as he received a confused glance form the Hokage.
"Very well see you later." With a nod Iruka was gone and the Hokage went back to his paperwork that had piled up on his desk.
'`'`'`'`'''`'`'`'`'`***'`'`'`'`'`'``'`'`'`'
"So what about you Iruka?" Hitomi smiled with a mischievous glint before she entered a small coffee shop.
"What about what?" Iruka looked over at her with a smile.
"I keep talking about myself.....so I was wondering about you. What's your life story?" She laughed a little with a small blush on her cheeks as they got their orders.
Iruka had ordered a frozen coffee drink with a lot of whip cream on it. Iruka hated the taste of coffee but with all this stuff added to it, it was quite nice. Hitomi had ordered a cappuccino and chose that they sat by the window since it was a beautiful day.
"My life story huh? I dunno.......my life isn't that interesting." Iruka smiled timidly at her as she grinned.
"Oh I get it! Your shy, that's so CUTE!" She pinched one of Iruka's cheeks before she went back to her coffee. "C'mon I bet you have tons of stories about being a ninja....like how did you get that scar across your face?"
"Oh this." Iruka's hand traced the scar. "I got this....uh....um I got it when...."
"You can tell me Iruka-kun." She smiled.
"I got it the day my parents died." Iruka said softly watching the smile on her face disappear.
"I'm sorry maybe I shouldn't pry." She looked at the table in front of her.
"No it's fine, I just..." Then Iruka had an idea. "Hitomi can I take you somewhere?"
She looked at Iruka for a second then smiled with a nod. They got their drinks to go and then left the coffee shop heading over to the area near the forest. He hadn't been there in a long time; it would be nice to see it again for a different reason.
They passed by three big stumps in the ground till they came up to a small monument.
"What is this?" She looked at Iruka before she went to the huge stone.
"This is where all the shinobi's who die honorably out on the job names go. It's a memorial for all of them." Iruka traced down the lines of all the names that had been added since he had last saw this. It wasn't that many and that made him smile a bit.
"I used to come here and cry after my parents died." Iruka sighed remembering when he would run from all the people in the town and come out here, shortly after the Hokage found him and that's when their little sessions began.
"How long ago was it? When your parents died I mean." She tried to sound sympathetic but Iruka could tell she was curious.
"Three years ago." Iruka looked over at her.
"I...."
"Don't worry about it I am as okay with it as I'll ever be." Iruka smiled at her as she smiled back.
"My life doesn't even compare to yours Iruka-kun, here I have been complaining about how my life is soooo bad when you lost your parents. You must think I am a horrible person." She looked down at the ground.
"You shouldn't feel bad, I love my life, and you haven't complained about stuff that I wouldn't complain about so I think we are good." Iruka smiled as she smiled and gave him a hug.
"Wow you are so cool Iruka-kun!" Iruka blushed as she let go. "So where do you want to go next?"
"Me? I think I should ask you since you're the visitor." Iruka laughed. "Anyways I took you to most of the places I know about."
"Okay then lets go over there." Hitomi pointed over to the Hokage monument mountain. "I bet the view is great from up there."
"Sure lets go." Iruka started walking as Hitomi latched to his arm. "Hitomi......"
"Yes Iruka-kun?" She smiled at him grabbing his arm even tighter.
"Could you please let go of my arm.....I am.....sorry but I already have....." Iruka didn't know how to place Kakashi.
Should he call Kakashi his boyfriend? Should he just tell her he was taken? Or was she just being nice and hanging on people was just a sign of friendship from her country?
"Oh I get it..." Iruka looked at her as she let go of his arm. "You don't like me..."
"No! That's not what I was trying to say!" Iruka tried to put the words together but felt Hitomi latch on to him again.
"Yay! I'm so happy you like me too Iruka-kun!"
"No Hitomi that's not what I..."
"So you don't like me?"
"No I like you but I....."
"Then what's the problem?"
Iruka stared at Hitomi for a second. How could he say this without hurting anyone's feelings and causing an unnecessary scene?
"Is it because I'm older than you?"
"No."
"Is cause you don't like how I look?"
"No I think your very pretty but...."
"But what Iruka-kun you don't make any sense!"
"Hitomi I already...."
"Hey Iruka!" Iruka turn around to see an older teen in green run up to him. "On a date are we?" He smirked at Iruka.
"No Gai this isn't a date." Iruka rolled his eyes at Gai; he of all people was the first to find out about Iruka and Kakashi's relationship when Kakashi molested Iruka in front of him. Iruka still haven't forgiven Kakashi for that...
Iruka looked over at Hitomi who was either mortified of shocked beyond belief at the sight of Gai. She was just staring at him, quite rudely for an heiress Iruka might add. Gai looked over at her and blushed.
"H...hi, I...I...I'm G...Gai." He smiled as he held out his hand.
"I'm Hitomi." She smiled at him before she looked at Iruka, then at Gai with a smirk. "Oh Gai is it? I was wondering if you could help me out?"
She batted her eyes at him as he blushed and nodded at her.
"You see my friend Iruka here is a little shy so he has been having trouble in telling me why he doesn't want to go out with me." Gai nodded and looked at Iruka.
"Well that's easy! The reason Iruka isn't interested in you like that is because he is already taken." Hitomi looked at Iruka as he nodded to show Gai was right. "Yeah and I don't think Kakashi would appreciate knowing that you are trying to go out with Iruka."
"Why would Kakashi care?" Hitomi laughed as she looked at Iruka then at Gai.
"Because Iruka is Kakashi's boyfriend." Gai stated out fatly as Iruka just stared at him. Was he this point blank with everything! Iruka was surprised no one else has found out about their relationship!
"What?" Hitomi looked at Iruka who was now blushing. "Iruka your...your..."
"Gay. Yep and Kakashi is too if you haven't caught on yet." Gai smiled as Hitomi frowned and looked at the ground.
"Oh..."
"Hitomi I uh..." Iruka tried to say something before she busted out on laughter.
"Oh my gosh! You have no idea how relieved I am that you are gay! I thought I was losing my touch!" She laughed before she turned to Gai. "And are you taken?"
Gai blushed as he shook his head then looked at Iruka who was trying to decide whether what just happened was good or bad.
'`'`'`'`'''`'`'`'`'`***'`'`'`'`'`'``'`'`'`'
"Hey Kakashi how is the mission going?" A light haired guy with a toothpick in his mouth smirked as Kakashi entered the room they were currently occupying.
"Hey Gemma." Kakashi sighed as he sat down in a chair. "The subject will be on his way tomorrow. I suggest we complete the mission tonight when he is at his house since that is when his security is a low."
Gemma just nodded before sighing.
"So who gets to take him out?"
"Whoever has the best chance of completing without failure." Kakashi said in a drone voice before he got up and picked up what little belongings he had and put them in his bag. "Our mission is top priority, then we can play games."
"Your not that much fun for being 17." Gemma joked before he got up and collected his stuff. "Is something brothering you? You seem really set on completing this mission as soon as you can."
"No I'm good." Kakashi curved his only visible eye while his thoughts went mad.
It's not that Kakashi doubted Iruka or anything but Kakashi just felt like something was up and that bothered him. Maybe that Hitomi girl posed more of a threat than he thought; Iruka was a 14-year-old boy after all....
But he was a 14-year-old boy that was currently in a relationship and Iruka wasn't the type to goof off with other people while his boyfriend was gone. Or maybe Kakashi was just starting to realize how possessive he was being; Iruka was a big boy, and a chunin at that!
/ But what if something does happen with Hitomi I mean Iruka never really had a relationship with a girl..... /
"Kakashi?" Gemma snapped his fingers bringing Kakashi back to reality. "You can't just space out like that remember we're professionals."
Kakashi just nodded before they looked at the clock and set off.
It was a simple two-man mission. Find out everything you need to know about the subject, follow, and keep records. Find out where and when they would be somewhere then take them out.
This subject was a rich man who had slaughtered his family in the mountain country. Usually the Leaf would let other shinobi handle their own problems but this man had started killing business partners' in the fire country so decided to take care of it as soon as they could.
Gemma was Kakashi partner. They were advice to have two people on this mission just in case. Apparently the man would change his schedule randomly as if to throw them off guard but Gemma had caught the pattern of changes after two days of tracking and with all the background information they received.
"Target is in sight." Kakashi held the earpiece tighter so he could hear Gemma better. "The guards are located on the east entrance and there are three located in his only path of escape. What do you see?"
"It seems the west side was left unguarded for a reason....there is about five possible threats if we take that way and other than that he went in the room by himself so we might be able to get in and out undetected without having to fight too many people." Kakashi spoke softly into my headset waiting for a reply.
It wasn't long before Kakashi got the reply he needed and began. Kakashi was able to go in through the east entrance without being detected and met Gemma in a corridor two halls from where their target was.
"I am going to go the escape exit you go through the front." Gemma whispered as Kakashi nodded.
He wasn't the leader or anything, its just a good thing to know when someone has better information than the other to fall back on and Gemma had studied the blue print of this house as soon as he was signed in on the clock.
They separated; Kakashi waited till Gemma was gone with no problems then was able to sneak up on the two guards in front of the main entrance. Kakashi appeared behind them startling the smaller one but they both fell unconscious before the bigger one noticed.
They were going to wake up with a headache.
Kakashi opened the door slowly knowing that it would just lead him to the secretary's desk room. To his luck the next door wasn't guarded and the door was already opened. Kakashi hid myself in the shadows as he came into the room to see two bodyguards staring out the windows like hawks.
The target was his desk grabbing papers and bills frantically trying to shove them into a briefcase. Kakashi smiled under my mask as he noticed he had gotten here undetected.
The next thing to do would be to render the bodyguards unconscious so that they didn't pose a possible threat but Kakashi had no idea where Gemma was so he didn't know if he should go ahead and take care of the bodyguards or if he should take the target and let Gemma be his back up.
"Koji! Tore! I need your help for a second." The target yelled at the two bodyguards who just grunted and left their posts.
Kakashi sighed in his head as he pulled out two kunai. He would have to get them down before he would be able to get the target.
Kakashi threw the kunai out of the shadows not giving off his location and sending the smaller of the bodyguards to the ground while the other was able to dodge in the nick of time. Kakashi glared as the smaller one down but the bigger glared around the room.
The target looked like he was about to have a heart attack before the bigger growled and turned to him.
"We need to leave now!" He scowled at the target.
"I still don't have all my money! We aren't leaving until I do unless you don't want to get paid." The target yelled back making the bodyguard tense.
Kakashi appeared right behind the bodyguard and hit him with the bunt end of the kunai only to see his body turn into dust.
/ A form of doppelganger but he didn't look like a ninja. /
Kakashi felt him move a knife to his throat as he stabbed Kakashi in the back, only to reveal that Kakashi was a copy as well.
The man growled as he glared at the target to see the target heading for the escape. As soon as the target opened the door his body went limp and he fell to the ground revealing a smug looked Gemma behind the door.
The bodyguard braced himself in just enough time to let his guard down about Kakashi still being there as Kakashi knocked him out cold with a kick to the back of his head.
"Took you long enough." Kakashi smirked under my mask.
"Sorry I found some trouble on the way." Gemma looked at the form in front of him that was now dead. "I got the body you dispose of the evidence."
And with that they had completed their mission.
'`'`'`'`'''`'`'`'`'`***'`'`'`'`'`'``'`'`'`'
"So why are you here and not on some amazing mission, Gai-san?" Hitomi smiled sweetly at Gai as him and Iruka walked beside her on the street.
"Um....well, I just got back not too long ago from a....mission, and I decided to stay in Konoha for a while since it seems all the important missions are being taken care of." Gai smiled as he ran his fingers through his hair.
The three walked through the village visiting places that Gai thought Hitomi would like. Iruka didn't really understand why Gai kept blushing at Hitomi but just shrugged it off.
"Hey guys let's play a game!" Hitomi grinned at the two boys.
"What kind of game?" Iruka looked at her and where they were. You couldn't really play a game in the middle of the street without making a scene and that was the last thing Iruka wanted.
"You'll see!" Hitomi winked at him then opened the door for a restaurant. "Let's get some food to go then we can play the game at Iruka-kun's house!"
"Sounds fun!" Gai did a small pose. "I love playing games!"
Hitomi laughed as Iruka got some Chinese food to go. It was about dinnertime in Konoha and the streets were filled with kids who were enjoying the last half of the day in which they were free from school. It had been a clear day and as the three teenagers walked to Iruka's house your could see the sky turn orange and purple.
"So what game are we playing?" Gai sat down on the floor with a case of noodles.
"We are going to play truth or dare!" Hitomi blew a kiss at Gai causing the jounin to blush while Iruka broke his chopsticks so he could eat.
"Oh I've played that before!" Iruka smiled. "We used to play that at the ninja academy whenever our teacher was out sick or if we just had a free day."
"Alright! Since everyone has a good idea of how to play lets begin." Hitomi looked at both the boys in the small circle they had made. "Iruka-kun truth or dare?"
"Me? .....oh umm....truth." Iruka swallowed the food he had in his mouth as Hitomi pressed her pointer finger on her chin as if she was thinking.
"Okay, since you are Kakashi's....boyfriend, I would guess that you could answer this. What does Kakashi look like under his mask?" Hitomi smiled as Iruka blushed and Gai just rolled his eyes.
"He's....he is very....Kakashi is very good looking." Iruka tried to fight down the blush on his cheeks but knew it wasn't working.
Hitomi giggled at Iruka's expression. It was now Iruka's turn so he looked at the two people in front of him.
"Um Gai, truth or dare?"
"I choose dare!" Gai jumped up ready to complete any task Iruka had for him to do.....Iruka had no clue what he should have Gai do and looked over Hitomi to see if she could help him out.
"Hitomi do you have any ideas?" Iruka noticed how Hitomi smirked and nodded. "Then you can dare Gai to do something."
"Okay then Gai-san! I dare you to give me a foot massage!" Hitomi laughed as Gai looked at her with a small frown. "Just kidding! Um I dunno how about I dare you to eat all that stuff we make for you." Hitomi grabbed Iruka and ran into the kitchen.
There was banana pudding that was two days old, some ramen she had just made, left over Chinese food, one of Iruka's vegetable drinks, some olives, some of Kakashi's old Halloween candy, and toothpaste from the bathroom. Iruka didn't feel good when he saw her mix all the stuff together and then he followed her into the living room where Gai awaited his doom.
"Here you go!" Hitomi chirped as Gai stared at it not hinting towards disgust or backing down.
Iruka closed his eyes as Gai started to eat it and waited for it to be over. Iruka had a strong stomach, he could eat almost anything as Kakashi had put it but there were some places not even he was willing to go and mixing ramen and toothpaste was one of them,
"Okay my turn!" Gai looked over at Hitomi. "Truth or dare?"
"Dare!"
"I dare you to...." Gai blushed and looked at the ground. "I was wondering if you would like to go on a date while you're here?"
Iruka looked over at Hitomi who smiled.
"Of course I would like to go on a date but that doesn't count as a dare." Gai blush and smiled like he had just won the super bowel of ninja football!
(hehe sorry couldn't help myself.........Go Panthers!)
"Okay then I dare you to dress Iruka up." Gai smiled as Hitomi looked over at Iruka with an evil glint in her eyes.
"What?" Iruka yelled as he scooted back. "Hey wait that can't count as a dare! You aren't supposed to involve other people!"
After about thirty minutes of Hitomi trying to catch Iruka then getting Gai to help, Iruka found himself staring at the mirror Hitomi had put in front of him so he could see her masterpiece.
Iruka was wearing some make-up around the eyes, she stole his shirt, and she put some of her jewelry on him. Iruka looked like a foreigner with his tan skin and inking on his skin. Hitomi had a lot of stuff with her that he didn't want to know why she carried it. She gave Iruka a few tattoos that would go away and put him in some of his old torn summer shorts. After about five minutes of trying to escape to the bathroom Iruka found himself in the middle of his living room with his feet tied and his hands tied above his head.
"Wow Iruka you look great!" Gai laughed as Iruka blushed and glared at his 'friend'.
"So cute." Hitomi teased as she poked Iruka's stomach. "Okay so I guess it's my turn! Um...since Iruka is obviously enjoying this game so much, truth or dare!"
"Neither!" Iruka glared at both of them. "Now take me down before I have to resort to violence!"
"Please Iruka-kun! I promise you after we finish playing I will let you change cloths and everything! Please! Just one more round!" Hitomi tried to make big eyes but Iruka just rolled his eyes at her and saw how Gai was begging too.
"Fine....but I choose truth." Iruka muttered.
"YAY! Okay let's see.....who was you first and last kiss and....okay answer that first and then I'll ask you the other half!" Hitomi winked at Iruka.
"Doesn't that count as three different questions?" Iruka sighed before he blushed. "My first and last would have to be Kakashi....."
Gai rolled his eyes and looked at the ground.
"Really? Have you ever kissed anyone else?" Hitomi looked at Iruka as if he had something growing out of his head.
"No." Iruka blushed even more.
"Wow he must be a really good kisser!" Iruka heard Gai moan in disapproval of the subject before Hitomi continued.
"Haven't you ever kissed a girl?"
"No I haven't."
"Isn't that kind of weird?" Hitomi came up to Iruka so that she was sitting in front of him.
"No it's not weird because he is gay Hitomi." Gai muttered under his breath.
"Well how do you know if you gay if you haven't even kissed anyone who is female?" Hitomi looked from Gai back to Iruka.
"I don't know....I just know how I feel about Kakashi." Iruka knew his face had to be bright red.
Hitomi seemed to think about it for a while before she smiled. Well if Iruka hadn't kissed anyone but Kakashi she could fix that! After all it would be a crime if Iruka only experienced one person in his dating career.
Iruka sighed as he closed his eyes. He heard Gai lay down on the couch and opened his eyes again to see Hitomi right in front of him with a smile on her face.
"Hitomi wha..." Iruka was cut off as Hitomi kissed him. His eyes went wide.
/ What the crap? /
"Hey what's going on here?" Iruka tried to turn around as fast as he could but since his hands were still tied he ended up causing Hitomi to fall on him.
"K...Kakashi!" Iruka blurted out.

Chapter 10: Truth or Dare?
'`'`'`'`'''`'`'`'`'`***'`'`'`'`'`'``'`'`'`'
"So where did Kakashi-san go this morning?" Hitomi finished putting on her golden wrap around her dress and went out the door Iruka was holding open for her.
"He had a mission, but he will be back soon." Iruka blushed lightly when he thought of Kakashi and sighed.
Hitomi watched Iruka from the corner of her eye, as he started playing with his hair and frowning at it. The morning sun called all the villagers from their dreams and the street they were walking on slowly came back to life as it had been yesterday.
"So why did you cut your hair?"
"Huh?" Iruka raised an eyebrow over at Hitomi as she smiled.
"I was looking at your pictures you had scattered through out your house and all of them had you with long hair."
Iruka remembered Hitomi giving herself a tour while Iruka gave Kakashi a good bye. He looked at her and smiled before he looked at the rising sun and squinted his eyes.
"I guess you can say I didn't get much of an option when it was cut." Iruka laughed a little as Hitomi just looked at him weird and then gave up.
"So what brings you here Hitomi-chan?" Iruka sat down on a park bench that they were walking by and waited for her to join him. He remembered the Hokage having suspicions about her stay here.
"Oh.....um I......I guess there is no harm in telling you." Hitomi sat down in a manner that would be considered rude by just flopping in the bench startling Iruka a bit.
"Telling me what?" Iruka began to think maybe the Hokage was right but was that good or bad?
"The real reason I'm here is because when I return to my village I will be forced to marry some jerk from my village." She sighed. "I'm only 15! I don't want to get married even if the guy is drop dead gorgeous!"
Iruka tried to think of something to say but then just sighed and waited to see if she was going to say anything else. Well at least now he knew she wasn't a threat.
"He's 21, isn't that illegal? Well anyway despite all the facts I was told I would have to marry him when I return unless, get this, I find my true love! Isn't that so cliché? I hate my parents!" Hitomi gave out a small laughter. "And to make matters worse I might be killed if I leave this village!"
"What? Why?" That information caught Iruka off guard.
"Oh it isn't thing serious it just turned out that at the last village I visited they were celebrated some holiday where your future can be told and all that good stuff........and well I apparently pissed off the heathen gods to the point where my fortune is that I will die before I return home."
"Oh that's it? I thought you were going to say someone was after your life, don't worry about superstitions like that Hitomi-chan they never come true." Iruka laughed as Hitomi glared at him.
"Just so you know I am very superstitious! I believe all that stuff." Iruka smiled apologetically.
Iruka and Hitomi walked around all of Konoha till it was about dinnertime and Iruka remembered he was supposed to see the Hokage after he gave Hitomi a tour. He left Hitomi in the waiting room as he climbed up the stair of Hokage tower to get to the Hokage's office. Once he made it to the two big doors he was happy to see the Hokage in a better mood.
"You seem to be happy Hokage-sama." Iruka smiled as he approached the man with a pipe.
"Happy maybe not happy but in a better atmosphere yes. I have two things to be happy about Iruka-kun how many things do you have?" The Hokage smiled as he took a seat behind his desk.
Iruka smiled and pulled out his fingers to start counting even if he was just joking around.
"I have three things to be happy about Hokage-sama! I have Kakashi and I have good health and my mission is going as easy as pie so far!" Iruka sat down in a chair in front of the Hokage as the old man nodded. "What about you?"
"I just found out my son is getting married and the war with the Cloud is over." Iruka's face brightened in shock as he smiled even bigger. "They are going to send a representative over here next week."
"That's great! I can't believe your son is getting married! And to top that off the war is over! That means Kakashi won't have to go back out!" Iruka gave the Hokage a confused look, as the Hokage seemed to be a little disturbed for a second. "Something wrong?"
"Don't worry Iruka-kun just remember that since we will be signing a treaty I will busy, I have to make sure we aren't taken advantage of." The Hokage waited for Iruka to nod and then continued. "Now about you and Kakashi........you haven't done anything yet have you?"
Iruka blushed as he shook his head. He couldn't believe the Hokage just asked him something so personal but noticed the Hokage smile a bit and nod.
"I just don't want you two do anything you might regret Iruka, I mean your young so don't push things forward too quickly." Iruka sighed and nodded he always got some form of the 'talk' whenever he visited the Hokage.
"Oh Hitomi is downstairs I guess I should head back." Iruka got up as the Hokage watched him.
"About her have you found anything to doubt her visit here?"
"Well she has a different reason for being here than just a vacation but other than that; the only thing she could harm with her visit is if the representative from the Cloud turns out to be her true love." Iruka laughed as he received a confused glance form the Hokage.
"Very well see you later." With a nod Iruka was gone and the Hokage went back to his paperwork that had piled up on his desk.
'`'`'`'`'''`'`'`'`'`***'`'`'`'`'`'``'`'`'`'
"So what about you Iruka?" Hitomi smiled with a mischievous glint before she entered a small coffee shop.
"What about what?" Iruka looked over at her with a smile.
"I keep talking about myself.....so I was wondering about you. What's your life story?" She laughed a little with a small blush on her cheeks as they got their orders.
Iruka had ordered a frozen coffee drink with a lot of whip cream on it. Iruka hated the taste of coffee but with all this stuff added to it, it was quite nice. Hitomi had ordered a cappuccino and chose that they sat by the window since it was a beautiful day.
"My life story huh? I dunno.......my life isn't that interesting." Iruka smiled timidly at her as she grinned.
"Oh I get it! Your shy, that's so CUTE!" She pinched one of Iruka's cheeks before she went back to her coffee. "C'mon I bet you have tons of stories about being a ninja....like how did you get that scar across your face?"
"Oh this." Iruka's hand traced the scar. "I got this....uh....um I got it when...."
"You can tell me Iruka-kun." She smiled.
"I got it the day my parents died." Iruka said softly watching the smile on her face disappear.
"I'm sorry maybe I shouldn't pry." She looked at the table in front of her.
"No it's fine, I just..." Then Iruka had an idea. "Hitomi can I take you somewhere?"
She looked at Iruka for a second then smiled with a nod. They got their drinks to go and then left the coffee shop heading over to the area near the forest. He hadn't been there in a long time; it would be nice to see it again for a different reason.
They passed by three big stumps in the ground till they came up to a small monument.
"What is this?" She looked at Iruka before she went to the huge stone.
"This is where all the shinobi's who die honorably out on the job names go. It's a memorial for all of them." Iruka traced down the lines of all the names that had been added since he had last saw this. It wasn't that many and that made him smile a bit.
"I used to come here and cry after my parents died." Iruka sighed remembering when he would run from all the people in the town and come out here, shortly after the Hokage found him and that's when their little sessions began.
"How long ago was it? When your parents died I mean." She tried to sound sympathetic but Iruka could tell she was curious.
"Three years ago." Iruka looked over at her.
"I...."
"Don't worry about it I am as okay with it as I'll ever be." Iruka smiled at her as she smiled back.
"My life doesn't even compare to yours Iruka-kun, here I have been complaining about how my life is soooo bad when you lost your parents. You must think I am a horrible person." She looked down at the ground.
"You shouldn't feel bad, I love my life, and you haven't complained about stuff that I wouldn't complain about so I think we are good." Iruka smiled as she smiled and gave him a hug.
"Wow you are so cool Iruka-kun!" Iruka blushed as she let go. "So where do you want to go next?"
"Me? I think I should ask you since you're the visitor." Iruka laughed. "Anyways I took you to most of the places I know about."
"Okay then lets go over there." Hitomi pointed over to the Hokage monument mountain. "I bet the view is great from up there."
"Sure lets go." Iruka started walking as Hitomi latched to his arm. "Hitomi......"
"Yes Iruka-kun?" She smiled at him grabbing his arm even tighter.
"Could you please let go of my arm.....I am.....sorry but I already have....." Iruka didn't know how to place Kakashi.
Should he call Kakashi his boyfriend? Should he just tell her he was taken? Or was she just being nice and hanging on people was just a sign of friendship from her country?
"Oh I get it..." Iruka looked at her as she let go of his arm. "You don't like me..."
"No! That's not what I was trying to say!" Iruka tried to put the words together but felt Hitomi latch on to him again.
"Yay! I'm so happy you like me too Iruka-kun!"
"No Hitomi that's not what I..."
"So you don't like me?"
"No I like you but I....."
"Then what's the problem?"
Iruka stared at Hitomi for a second. How could he say this without hurting anyone's feelings and causing an unnecessary scene?
"Is it because I'm older than you?"
"No."
"Is cause you don't like how I look?"
"No I think your very pretty but...."
"But what Iruka-kun you don't make any sense!"
"Hitomi I already...."
"Hey Iruka!" Iruka turn around to see an older teen in green run up to him. "On a date are we?" He smirked at Iruka.
"No Gai this isn't a date." Iruka rolled his eyes at Gai; he of all people was the first to find out about Iruka and Kakashi's relationship when Kakashi molested Iruka in front of him. Iruka still haven't forgiven Kakashi for that...
Iruka looked over at Hitomi who was either mortified of shocked beyond belief at the sight of Gai. She was just staring at him, quite rudely for an heiress Iruka might add. Gai looked over at her and blushed.
"H...hi, I...I...I'm G...Gai." He smiled as he held out his hand.
"I'm Hitomi." She smiled at him before she looked at Iruka, then at Gai with a smirk. "Oh Gai is it? I was wondering if you could help me out?"
She batted her eyes at him as he blushed and nodded at her.
"You see my friend Iruka here is a little shy so he has been having trouble in telling me why he doesn't want to go out with me." Gai nodded and looked at Iruka.
"Well that's easy! The reason Iruka isn't interested in you like that is because he is already taken." Hitomi looked at Iruka as he nodded to show Gai was right. "Yeah and I don't think Kakashi would appreciate knowing that you are trying to go out with Iruka."
"Why would Kakashi care?" Hitomi laughed as she looked at Iruka then at Gai.
"Because Iruka is Kakashi's boyfriend." Gai stated out fatly as Iruka just stared at him. Was he this point blank with everything! Iruka was surprised no one else has found out about their relationship!
"What?" Hitomi looked at Iruka who was now blushing. "Iruka your...your..."
"Gay. Yep and Kakashi is too if you haven't caught on yet." Gai smiled as Hitomi frowned and looked at the ground.
"Oh..."
"Hitomi I uh..." Iruka tried to say something before she busted out on laughter.
"Oh my gosh! You have no idea how relieved I am that you are gay! I thought I was losing my touch!" She laughed before she turned to Gai. "And are you taken?"
Gai blushed as he shook his head then looked at Iruka who was trying to decide whether what just happened was good or bad.
'`'`'`'`'''`'`'`'`'`***'`'`'`'`'`'``'`'`'`'
"Hey Kakashi how is the mission going?" A light haired guy with a toothpick in his mouth smirked as Kakashi entered the room they were currently occupying.
"Hey Gemma." Kakashi sighed as he sat down in a chair. "The subject will be on his way tomorrow. I suggest we complete the mission tonight when he is at his house since that is when his security is a low."
Gemma just nodded before sighing.
"So who gets to take him out?"
"Whoever has the best chance of completing without failure." Kakashi said in a drone voice before he got up and picked up what little belongings he had and put them in his bag. "Our mission is top priority, then we can play games."
"Your not that much fun for being 17." Gemma joked before he got up and collected his stuff. "Is something brothering you? You seem really set on completing this mission as soon as you can."
"No I'm good." Kakashi curved his only visible eye while his thoughts went mad.
It's not that Kakashi doubted Iruka or anything but Kakashi just felt like something was up and that bothered him. Maybe that Hitomi girl posed more of a threat than he thought; Iruka was a 14-year-old boy after all....
But he was a 14-year-old boy that was currently in a relationship and Iruka wasn't the type to goof off with other people while his boyfriend was gone. Or maybe Kakashi was just starting to realize how possessive he was being; Iruka was a big boy, and a chunin at that!
/ But what if something does happen with Hitomi I mean Iruka never really had a relationship with a girl..... /
"Kakashi?" Gemma snapped his fingers bringing Kakashi back to reality. "You can't just space out like that remember we're professionals."
Kakashi just nodded before they looked at the clock and set off.
It was a simple two-man mission. Find out everything you need to know about the subject, follow, and keep records. Find out where and when they would be somewhere then take them out.
This subject was a rich man who had slaughtered his family in the mountain country. Usually the Leaf would let other shinobi handle their own problems but this man had started killing business partners' in the fire country so decided to take care of it as soon as they could.
Gemma was Kakashi partner. They were advice to have two people on this mission just in case. Apparently the man would change his schedule randomly as if to throw them off guard but Gemma had caught the pattern of changes after two days of tracking and with all the background information they received.
"Target is in sight." Kakashi held the earpiece tighter so he could hear Gemma better. "The guards are located on the east entrance and there are three located in his only path of escape. What do you see?"
"It seems the west side was left unguarded for a reason....there is about five possible threats if we take that way and other than that he went in the room by himself so we might be able to get in and out undetected without having to fight too many people." Kakashi spoke softly into my headset waiting for a reply.
It wasn't long before Kakashi got the reply he needed and began. Kakashi was able to go in through the east entrance without being detected and met Gemma in a corridor two halls from where their target was.
"I am going to go the escape exit you go through the front." Gemma whispered as Kakashi nodded.
He wasn't the leader or anything, its just a good thing to know when someone has better information than the other to fall back on and Gemma had studied the blue print of this house as soon as he was signed in on the clock.
They separated; Kakashi waited till Gemma was gone with no problems then was able to sneak up on the two guards in front of the main entrance. Kakashi appeared behind them startling the smaller one but they both fell unconscious before the bigger one noticed.
They were going to wake up with a headache.
Kakashi opened the door slowly knowing that it would just lead him to the secretary's desk room. To his luck the next door wasn't guarded and the door was already opened. Kakashi hid myself in the shadows as he came into the room to see two bodyguards staring out the windows like hawks.
The target was his desk grabbing papers and bills frantically trying to shove them into a briefcase. Kakashi smiled under my mask as he noticed he had gotten here undetected.
The next thing to do would be to render the bodyguards unconscious so that they didn't pose a possible threat but Kakashi had no idea where Gemma was so he didn't know if he should go ahead and take care of the bodyguards or if he should take the target and let Gemma be his back up.
"Koji! Tore! I need your help for a second." The target yelled at the two bodyguards who just grunted and left their posts.
Kakashi sighed in his head as he pulled out two kunai. He would have to get them down before he would be able to get the target.
Kakashi threw the kunai out of the shadows not giving off his location and sending the smaller of the bodyguards to the ground while the other was able to dodge in the nick of time. Kakashi glared as the smaller one down but the bigger glared around the room.
The target looked like he was about to have a heart attack before the bigger growled and turned to him.
"We need to leave now!" He scowled at the target.
"I still don't have all my money! We aren't leaving until I do unless you don't want to get paid." The target yelled back making the bodyguard tense.
Kakashi appeared right behind the bodyguard and hit him with the bunt end of the kunai only to see his body turn into dust.
/ A form of doppelganger but he didn't look like a ninja. /
Kakashi felt him move a knife to his throat as he stabbed Kakashi in the back, only to reveal that Kakashi was a copy as well.
The man growled as he glared at the target to see the target heading for the escape. As soon as the target opened the door his body went limp and he fell to the ground revealing a smug looked Gemma behind the door.
The bodyguard braced himself in just enough time to let his guard down about Kakashi still being there as Kakashi knocked him out cold with a kick to the back of his head.
"Took you long enough." Kakashi smirked under my mask.
"Sorry I found some trouble on the way." Gemma looked at the form in front of him that was now dead. "I got the body you dispose of the evidence."
And with that they had completed their mission.
'`'`'`'`'''`'`'`'`'`***'`'`'`'`'`'``'`'`'`'
"So why are you here and not on some amazing mission, Gai-san?" Hitomi smiled sweetly at Gai as him and Iruka walked beside her on the street.
"Um....well, I just got back not too long ago from a....mission, and I decided to stay in Konoha for a while since it seems all the important missions are being taken care of." Gai smiled as he ran his fingers through his hair.
The three walked through the village visiting places that Gai thought Hitomi would like. Iruka didn't really understand why Gai kept blushing at Hitomi but just shrugged it off.
"Hey guys let's play a game!" Hitomi grinned at the two boys.
"What kind of game?" Iruka looked at her and where they were. You couldn't really play a game in the middle of the street without making a scene and that was the last thing Iruka wanted.
"You'll see!" Hitomi winked at him then opened the door for a restaurant. "Let's get some food to go then we can play the game at Iruka-kun's house!"
"Sounds fun!" Gai did a small pose. "I love playing games!"
Hitomi laughed as Iruka got some Chinese food to go. It was about dinnertime in Konoha and the streets were filled with kids who were enjoying the last half of the day in which they were free from school. It had been a clear day and as the three teenagers walked to Iruka's house your could see the sky turn orange and purple.
"So what game are we playing?" Gai sat down on the floor with a case of noodles.
"We are going to play truth or dare!" Hitomi blew a kiss at Gai causing the jounin to blush while Iruka broke his chopsticks so he could eat.
"Oh I've played that before!" Iruka smiled. "We used to play that at the ninja academy whenever our teacher was out sick or if we just had a free day."
"Alright! Since everyone has a good idea of how to play lets begin." Hitomi looked at both the boys in the small circle they had made. "Iruka-kun truth or dare?"
"Me? .....oh umm....truth." Iruka swallowed the food he had in his mouth as Hitomi pressed her pointer finger on her chin as if she was thinking.
"Okay, since you are Kakashi's....boyfriend, I would guess that you could answer this. What does Kakashi look like under his mask?" Hitomi smiled as Iruka blushed and Gai just rolled his eyes.
"He's....he is very....Kakashi is very good looking." Iruka tried to fight down the blush on his cheeks but knew it wasn't working.
Hitomi giggled at Iruka's expression. It was now Iruka's turn so he looked at the two people in front of him.
"Um Gai, truth or dare?"
"I choose dare!" Gai jumped up ready to complete any task Iruka had for him to do.....Iruka had no clue what he should have Gai do and looked over Hitomi to see if she could help him out.
"Hitomi do you have any ideas?" Iruka noticed how Hitomi smirked and nodded. "Then you can dare Gai to do something."
"Okay then Gai-san! I dare you to give me a foot massage!" Hitomi laughed as Gai looked at her with a small frown. "Just kidding! Um I dunno how about I dare you to eat all that stuff we make for you." Hitomi grabbed Iruka and ran into the kitchen.
There was banana pudding that was two days old, some ramen she had just made, left over Chinese food, one of Iruka's vegetable drinks, some olives, some of Kakashi's old Halloween candy, and toothpaste from the bathroom. Iruka didn't feel good when he saw her mix all the stuff together and then he followed her into the living room where Gai awaited his doom.
"Here you go!" Hitomi chirped as Gai stared at it not hinting towards disgust or backing down.
Iruka closed his eyes as Gai started to eat it and waited for it to be over. Iruka had a strong stomach, he could eat almost anything as Kakashi had put it but there were some places not even he was willing to go and mixing ramen and toothpaste was one of them,
"Okay my turn!" Gai looked over at Hitomi. "Truth or dare?"
"Dare!"
"I dare you to...." Gai blushed and looked at the ground. "I was wondering if you would like to go on a date while you're here?"
Iruka looked over at Hitomi who smiled.
"Of course I would like to go on a date but that doesn't count as a dare." Gai blush and smiled like he had just won the super bowel of ninja football!
(hehe sorry couldn't help myself.........Go Panthers!)
"Okay then I dare you to dress Iruka up." Gai smiled as Hitomi looked over at Iruka with an evil glint in her eyes.
"What?" Iruka yelled as he scooted back. "Hey wait that can't count as a dare! You aren't supposed to involve other people!"
After about thirty minutes of Hitomi trying to catch Iruka then getting Gai to help, Iruka found himself staring at the mirror Hitomi had put in front of him so he could see her masterpiece.
Iruka was wearing some make-up around the eyes, she stole his shirt, and she put some of her jewelry on him. Iruka looked like a foreigner with his tan skin and inking on his skin. Hitomi had a lot of stuff with her that he didn't want to know why she carried it. She gave Iruka a few tattoos that would go away and put him in some of his old torn summer shorts. After about five minutes of trying to escape to the bathroom Iruka found himself in the middle of his living room with his feet tied and his hands tied above his head.
"Wow Iruka you look great!" Gai laughed as Iruka blushed and glared at his 'friend'.
"So cute." Hitomi teased as she poked Iruka's stomach. "Okay so I guess it's my turn! Um...since Iruka is obviously enjoying this game so much, truth or dare!"
"Neither!" Iruka glared at both of them. "Now take me down before I have to resort to violence!"
"Please Iruka-kun! I promise you after we finish playing I will let you change cloths and everything! Please! Just one more round!" Hitomi tried to make big eyes but Iruka just rolled his eyes at her and saw how Gai was begging too.
"Fine....but I choose truth." Iruka muttered.
"YAY! Okay let's see.....who was you first and last kiss and....okay answer that first and then I'll ask you the other half!" Hitomi winked at Iruka.
"Doesn't that count as three different questions?" Iruka sighed before he blushed. "My first and last would have to be Kakashi....."
Gai rolled his eyes and looked at the ground.
"Really? Have you ever kissed anyone else?" Hitomi looked at Iruka as if he had something growing out of his head.
"No." Iruka blushed even more.
"Wow he must be a really good kisser!" Iruka heard Gai moan in disapproval of the subject before Hitomi continued.
"Haven't you ever kissed a girl?"
"No I haven't."
"Isn't that kind of weird?" Hitomi came up to Iruka so that she was sitting in front of him.
"No it's not weird because he is gay Hitomi." Gai muttered under his breath.
"Well how do you know if you gay if you haven't even kissed anyone who is female?" Hitomi looked from Gai back to Iruka.
"I don't know....I just know how I feel about Kakashi." Iruka knew his face had to be bright red.
Hitomi seemed to think about it for a while before she smiled. Well if Iruka hadn't kissed anyone but Kakashi she could fix that! After all it would be a crime if Iruka only experienced one person in his dating career.
Iruka sighed as he closed his eyes. He heard Gai lay down on the couch and opened his eyes again to see Hitomi right in front of him with a smile on her face.
"Hitomi wha..." Iruka was cut off as Hitomi kissed him. His eyes went wide.
/ What the crap? /
"Hey what's going on here?" Iruka tried to turn around as fast as he could but since his hands were still tied he ended up causing Hitomi to fall on him.
"K...Kakashi!" Iruka blurted out.
