Chapter 24: Sound of Rain

LJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJ

Iruka's hand twitched a bit as the chunin slowly regained his consciousness due to the extremely bright sunlight shining straight into his eyes. Iruka smirked a bit as he turned his head to reveal a pale figure lying next to him.

Kakashi's hair was still damp from the hard rain they received the night before.

So much had happened.

Iruka shivered a bit as he felt light touches against his lower torso running up to his chest to see Kakashi's fingers playing softly against the chunin's tan stomach. Iruka blushed as he realized Kakashi was smiling with a blush also on his pale features.

Kakashi's face.

There were no words that could describe how beautiful Kakashi was. It had been so long since Iruka had last seen that smile, the mere sight of it made Iruka blush even more.

Kakashi moved a bit so that his skin was against Iruka's as he pulled the chunin into a tight embrace ignoring the sharp pain from his back; from the wound Iruka had forced to the hospital for last night.

Kakashi buried his face into Iruka's hair before he let out a small impish giggle causing Iruka to turn around so he could look at the jounin.

"What's so funny?" Iruka asked with the small permanent blush still on his tan features.

"That's what I call making up."

LJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJ

"Iruka........."

Kakashi couldn't finish his statement as the pain from the wound on his back finally caught up causing the jounin to collapse to the ground.

"Kakashi!" Iruka quickly ran over to the jounin dropping his umbrella a despite the freezing rain that was pouring on both of them. "Kakashi what's wrong!"

Kakashi felt Iruka's hands on his cold body sending shivers down his spine and then pain as Iruka finally found the wound.

"Kakashi you idiot! You need to go the hospital!"

::::Looking back at me I see that I never really got it right::::

"No......" Iruka looked dumbfounded as Kakashi rejected his idea of the hospital.

"But Kakashi.........you......"

"I'll be fine Iruka. Theres something I need to do first then you can yell at me all you want!" Kakashi bit out painfully as he grabbed Iruka's hand.

"Iruka I......" Iruka growled a bit as he slapped Kakashi across the face.

"Don't." Iruka bit his lip as he stared at Kakashi. "Don't......tell me what to do."

::::I never stopped to think of you, I'm always wrapped up in things I cannot win::::

The rain tapped against the thin roof of the emergency room as Iruka waited patiently.

He had told Kakashi that he would.

The doors opened to reveal a much calmer looking Kakashi then what Iruka had seen before. Iruka stood as Kakashi approached him but before he could say anything the jounin grabbed his arm and dragged him out of the waiting room.

Iruka was about to protest when he Kakashi stopped and pushed Iruka near the closest wall in the empty streets.

The rain was still pouring on both parties as Kakashi wrapped his arms around the chunin surprising Iruka.

::::You are the antidote that gets me by, something strong like a drug that gets me high::::

"Kakashi?" Iruka whispered as both their bodies were pressed together.

Iruka was about to say something else as a blush started to form on his cheeks as he realized to the situation. "Ka-"

"I love you."

Iruka froze as he tried to move so he could look Kakashi in the eye but the effort was fruitless.

"I will always love you."

"Kakashi?"

::::What I really meant to say, is I'm sorry for the way I am::::

::::I never meant to be so cold, never meant to be so cold::::

::::What I really meant to say, is I'm sorry for the way I am::::

::::I never meant to be so cold, never meant to be so::::

All Kakashi could hear was the sound of rain ringing through his ears and Iruka's breathing against his shoulder.

"Kakashi?" A hoarse whisper escaped the chunin causing Kakashi to wrap his arms around Iruka even tighter.

He had said it.

He did it.

Kakashi closed his eyes tightly not knowing what to expect from Iruka only praying that maybe.........

Just maybe.........

::::I'm sorry about all the lies, maybe in a different light::::

::::You can see me stand on my own again::::

"Kakashi......" Iruka's sweet voice whispered as the chunin wrapped his arms around Kakashi's back as he felt tears weld up in his eyes. "All this time......"

::::I never really wanted you see the screwed side of me::::

::::That I keep locked inside of me so deep, it always seems to get to me::::

The next thing Kakashi remembered was the kiss.

He didn't remember pulling down his mask.........maybe Iruka did it but it didn't matter.

That kiss was...

Kakashi remember how he had blushed madly as he found himself moaning from Iruka's advances.

::::I never really wanted you to go, so many things you should have known::::

::::I never meant to be so cold::::

Iruka roughly remembered climbing the steps to Kakashi's apartment. Or how he tripped causing both him and Kakashi to force the door open.

The giggling that proceeded when Kakashi tripped on some sort of discarded clothing placing Iruka on tope of him on the floor.

Kakashi remembered the slight pause as they passed by Obito's former room until Iuka brought him into another kiss. One slower then the others but just enough to remind the jounin what was truly important at that moment.

A thud against the wall, a rustle of cloth and the toss of discarded clothing left both men in a fit as Kakashi was finally able to take control of the situation making Iruka give the jounin a very smug grin.

The sound of the rain pounding against the window filled the surrounding rooms as the moon shine slowly started to break through the clouds and bless Konoha with its presence leading into the morning.

LJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJ

Iruka stared down at the boiling water on the stove. He glanced around the room suspiciously before he finally grabbed a spoon and went to go stir the boiling nuisance.

That was until two strong arms wrapped around his stomach not allowing him to approach his prey.

"Nuh-uh Iruka-kun." Kakashi purred as he took the spoon away from Iruka. "I told you I was making breakfast."

"But-" Iruka stopped as two fingers descended onto his lips. Iruka grinned bit before he nodded. "I missed you."

Kakashi curved both his eyes before he gave Iruka a peck on the forehead.

"I missed us too."

LJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJ

Kakashi smiled as he headed towards the Hokage's office.

His mission had gone smoothly and now he wanted to go home.

Iruka would probably be sad since today was graduation day meaning that a lot of his students would get the chance to become genin and leave him.

Kakashi never expected to see a crowd outside the Hokage's office so late at night. The jounin was about to just walk straight through the crowd when he saw Iruka at the side gritting his teeth.

"THIS TIME HE'S GONE TOO FAR!" An angry shinobi yelled catching Kakashi's attention.

"Lord Hokage!" Another yelled as he looked at the village leader who sighed deeply before he spoke to the crowd.

"The scroll he has taken is so dangerous that the first Hokage sealed it away!" Kakashi froze as he slowly turned his head towards Iruka who looked a mix of anger and confusion.

"If misused in the wrong hands it could be deadly!" The Hokage continued, "It was taken half a day ago. We have to find him!"

At that all the shinobi dispersed leaving a confused Kakashi and an irritated Hokage.

"Hokage-sama........."

The Hokage looked up, his lips tight together almost forcing them into one line.

What ever had happened was bad.

Very bad.

The song is Cold by Crossfire.

The chapter is really short I know and I apologize but if I typed anymore then I would ruin the last chapter or not even make it to the last one not to mention the fact that I have had so many problems trying to get this chapter its not funny!

sigh

I'm sorry guys, I transferred schools after last quarter so I would graduate with my twin and its been kind of hectic. Not to mention the internet has officially disappeared from my computer so I will have to update this at my new school.

And the fact that that my mom found the story and forbid me to write it............

But that's another long story.

Again sorry and the last chapter should be out soon. This is actually the conclusion to the Story because it ends where the Manga begins and that was my plan. Sorry I'm not going to expound on the whole Mizuki thing because we all know how that goes.

Sorry about not replying to all of your reviews! Again I feel really sorry for taking so long to update but I promise I will make it up to all of you guys in the last chapter!!

bows for forgiveness

Hope you are having a great week!
