Ave-chan- (accepts sugar) I got it all from my sick twisted little mind! .v
Shinycry-Teehee, I agree, I love putting in Sasu Naru moments, they're adorable.
Tamara2187- As do I, but we can only wait and see .
Animegoil- I know I know! The first chapter was the best because I wrote it in a fit of medication induced horniness . I'll attempt to reach those levels again soon, but it's going to be difficult.
Polka-dot- Don't worry, I'm not going to make it simple molestation. It'll be complex molestation with fluff on top .
AznNarutoGrl-91- Hehehe, I have not yet begun to smut-write.
Silent laugh- . As do I! Tohohoho!
Sacred Fires- Glad you like smut because there'll be a high concentration in this story. As for the Sasu/Naru. I'd actually intended to write a story of those two first, but I got stuck with this plot bunny and wrote the first chapter of this at midnight.
Jenn- Lol, well no one said he'd be traditional.
GinTsuki- teeheehee, among other things! No starving Iruka! I must update!
Qianyun- I've now seen up to episode 122, and read up to chapter 248 (I got addicted v.v) And I'm glad I have a grasp of the characters. I love Sasuke being the little smart ass he naturally is!
Keni marli- As do I- And Kakashi as well! (Grins)
Shi-chan- . ack. Can't believe I made a mistake like that. I did that chapter late at night though. More Iruka-y and Kakashi-y goodness…Wait a sec…You're like an awesome author and you're reviewing my fic! I heart it when other authors review my work! Can't wait to see more of your work!
CH4- Traditional- Nin-style.
Iruka graded papers with practiced ease, his eyes quickly able to seek out mistakes and correct them with a red pen. Though it looked like an act of great concentration, his mind was far from the proper chakra needed for a bushin no jutsu.
His mind was on that event at the restaurant. It upset him on some levels, but on another level it confused him. It upset him because it was more than mildly degrading and he knew he'd been treated no better than a common whore. It confused him because he didn't understand why Kakashi had done it.
He got nothing out of it really, except the sight of a squirming Iruka, and maybe a hard on. But other than that Iruka didn't understand the way Kakashi's mind worked. What purpose could he have in groping in in public? A flush came to his cheeks and he shook his head.
Kakashi had gotten something out of it. Iruka's thoughts were now constantly on the silver haired Jounin. The Jounin had stolen his thoughts. He slammed his head on his desk. Little did he know, the Jounin's unpredictable nature had only begun to show.

Giggling. Iruka tried to avoid giggling. Because with giggling came females into his room. Females meaning Kunoichi. That meant females that were twenty times as strong, perceptive, and nosy as regular females.
Anko and Kurenai. Somehow, he'd become ensnared in their gossip ring. Normally he'd just smile and nod occasionally, continuing to grade his papers, ignoring the gorgeous females sitting on his children's desks, stretching their long pale legs like bottled lust, but today he had a bad feeling as that particularly mischievous giggling approached.
Once Asuma had commented on how Iruka had all the luck with the females coming into his room at lunch stretching luxuriously as if there wasn't a male in sight. But Asuma didn't know Iruka's preferences. Kakashi.
Simply said, not men, not women, Kakashi, only Kakashi. And the fact that something- Namely Kakashi- was on Iruka's pretty little mind, would not elude the beautiful Kunoichi. And they wouldn't stop questioning him until the bell rang- Or until he cracked.
This in mind, Iruka headed for the window, hoping to make a quick escape (a trick he'd learned from Naruto which he happened to think of escape a 'la Naruto) before the girls could reach his room. When he was yanked back by his chuunin vest his fingers reached longingly for the frame of the window. It was clearly too late.
"Well if it isn't Iruka trying to escape for a rendezvous with his mysterious lover!" said Kurenai grinning. Iruka froze. They couldn't be that perceptive.
No one was that perceptive…Unless they had a mind reading jutsu…Or they had seen the incident in the restaurant.
He spun around blushing profusely. "I didn't have anything to do with it I- What's that?"
Anko looked at him strangely. "Well, usually when people receive anonymous flowers they don't have anything to do with it," she said holding up the basket.
It was white and filled with assorted flowers. White baby's breath, red roses, yellow carnations, purple cosmos, and several more Iruka couldn't even name. In the end, it should have looked horrid, but somehow, the arrangement was beautiful. Breath taking even.
But that didn't stop him from noticing the small white card at the top and wondering if the Kunoichi had read it. That and what it said. "Where did you get that?" he asked, breathily.
"You won't believe this, but three Anbu delivered it, insisting that it be delivered to fair Iruka," said Kurenai grinning as Iruka leaned against his desk to support himself.
"I can believe it," murmured Iruka, staring at the flowers.
"So, Read the card! Find out who it was!" insisted Anko.
Iruka already knew who they were from, so he didn't need to read the card to find out. But he still obeyed mechanically, pulling the plain white card open. In elegant scrawl on the inside it read three simple words. "For Iruka mine."
When the women looked over his shoulders to read it they squealed dancing about cheered at the new filler for their next hundred chats. Iruka himself simply sunk into his chair, wondering how much more unpredictable the copy ninja could get.

Kurenai and Anko spent the rest of the break trying to figure out who Iruka's mysterious lover was. Surprisingly, they swiftly jumped to the conclusion it was a male without the bat of their pretty eyelashes. When Iruka looked up in shock Anko just laughed. "Well you're too shy and not aggressive enough for a kunoichi, but you're the type who needs another ninja, so we all saw that coming."
"Really?" asked Iruka with knitted brows.
"Not that it bothers anyone." continued Kurenai. "I mean thinking of you with another piece of male eye candy," she shook her head blushing.
"Besides, we know of a few of the men in the building it could be…So…Spill!" demanded Anko pulling him up by the collar of the chuunin vest.
Once again he regretted befriending such powerful women.
"I don't know!" he lied. "I don't know anyone that would have interest in me!"
"Hmm," said Kurenai. "We know it's a man, I don't know any woman that would have the audacity to send a squad of Anbu to deliver flowers…Let's see…There's Genma, Ibiki, Gai-"
"Where are you getting all these names from?" squeaked Iruka before she could say the name of a certain silver-haired Jounin and have him blushing his confession.
"Don't you know?" asked Anko with an eyebrow quirked. "Several shinobi have it in for you, kawaii Iruka-sensei!"
He reddened. "They do not!" he said, now actually curious. He'd known Kakashi was desirable, but he wasn't in the habit of thinking of himself as attractive.
"Do too! Our little Iruka-chan just wasn't grown up enough to know it!" said Kurenai tweaking one of his cheeks. "Now Iruka-chan, what do you intend to give your lover in return for these?"
Iruka blushed, wondering what indeed. Kakashi was giving far more attention than he'd ever expected, and he wasn't sure what Kakashi wanted in return.
