His plan was now beginning to go down the drain. He took another look over at the two ninjas just to make sure that he was really seeing them, and not his mind playing tricks on him. Yes, they really were there, and it gets worse Naruto was already walking over to their table.
'Oh man I have to try and stop him from getting over there!' Sasuke shouted to himself.
So Sasuke darted in front of the blond and said, "Well I am sure they are here for a reason. They are probably busy, so let's not bother them." He couldn't help but think 'They are probably here to avoid Naruto. They figured he is always hangs out at the Ichiraku Ramen Bar, he would never go to the Ramen Bar on the other side of the village, that would be to much of a hassle for him. Oh, but they were wrong. ' He was now pulling Naruto's jacket in the opposite direction hoping he would follow, but of course he didn't.
"No Sasuke, I have to at least say 'Hi' and ask them if they know about the bag." Naruto was now pulling the still horror struck Sasuke with him. Sasuke had his heels dug into the floor in hope of slowing the anxious boy down.
When Naruto finally finished pulling Sasuke over to their teachers table, the two ninjas seemed to be in the middle of a conversation involving them.
"See I told you they would be together. That will be $10, my friend." Iruka said with a smile.
Sasuke's eyes widened when what they were talking about sunk in. He looked back and forth between the two older men and then at Naruto.
Kakashi seemed knew right away that was a wrong assumption by the way Sasuke tensed at mentioning him and Naruto as a couple. Then there was Naruto who seemed completely oblivious to the meaning of their conversation.
"Um.No, I don't think they are, so I will be keeping my $10." Kakashi said barely above a whisper to Iruka.
Then it was Iruka's turn to figure out the situation. "Oh. My mistake." He laughed.
Naruto still the only one not aware of what was going on said, "No, we are here together."
This caused the other three to stare at him in confusion. Sasuke's jaw dropped a bit, while Kakashi and Iruka were glancing back and forth between the two boys.
"I came here to see if anyone knows anything about this bag, and Sasuke has to come with me. Mostly because this is all his fault that I could read the name on the tag."
When Naruto finished Sasuke, Kakashi and Iruka all seemed to let out a deep breath at the same time.
Iruka smirked and said, "Well then, if that is the case. Kakashi, you owe me ten bucks, because Naruto and Sasuke obviously came here together."
Kakashi didn't want to embarrass Sasuke or try to explain to Naruto what the bet really was on. So he played along in Iruka's little game. "Yeah, sure, fine. Here is your money." He grumbled and gave Iruka the money.
"Why would you bet on something like that? It's so stupid." Naruto said.
Iruka was content with the $10 he just got off his boyfriend, so he continued to play along. "Yes, well things have been a bit slow lately, so Kakashi and I tend to bet on many things. I just realized that Sasuke and you have been a bit close lately, so we made a bet."
Sasuke didn't like the way Iruka kept his little game going. Naruto would eventually catch on, or at least that was what Sasuke believed. Iruka received a swift kick in the shins from under the table, complements of Sasuke.
"Ow! Hehe. I mean you guys are best friends now, right? You are always together." Iruka decided his shins didn't need any more injuries so he stopped talking.
"Yeah, I guess you could say that. Right Sasuke?" Naruto said and put his arm around Sasuke's shoulder in a friendly way causing Sasuke to unintentionally blush. "Man you guys need to get a life and stop betting on such petty things."
"Um. Yeah, Naruto. We will do that." Kakashi said sarcastically.
Sasuke sighed in relief after avoiding that problematic situation. Sasuke saw that Naruto had taken a seat next to Iruka at the table, so he decided to sit next to Kakashi.
"Well anyway, down to business. Do either of you recognize this bag." Naruto asked Iruka and Kakashi as he held up the bag so they could see.
Sasuke took in a sharp breath. He knew that Kakashi would recognize the bag as his, since he had seen him with it the previous day.
Now it was Kakashi's turn to have fun. Even though it was Naruto who shouted to him and Iruka last night, didn't mean that Sasuke had nothing to do with it. He could have stopped him, right? Yes, it did help to get their relationship moving, but he would have liked it better if he could have done it himself. Besides it was always fine to play with your students. Especially Sasuke, he gets mad pretty easily.
"You know, that bag does look a bit familiar..Hm...Where have I seen it before?" Kakashi said trying to sound like he was genuinely trying to remember the owner of the bag.
Sasuke found this a good time to give Kakashi a nice kick to the shins as well.
"No, I guess it wasn't that bag. Nope, never seen it in my life." Kakashi said quickly, trying not to show any signs of pain from his latest shin injury, inflicted by his own student.
"Oh man, are you sure? I thought I had a lead for a while." Naruto said looking extremely disappointed.
"Yeah, I'm positive." Kakashi replied rubbing his now bruised shin. "Damn kid." He mumbled under his breath while glaring maliciously at Sasuke.
"Did you say something?" Naruto asked innocently.
"Of course not." Kakashi said with a phony smile.
"Whatever." answered the clueless blond, shrugging his shoulders.
"Naruto, why don't you and Iruka go get ramen for yourselves and Sasuke." Said Kakashi.
Sasuke glanced over at Iruka who didn't seem too pleased with this suggestion.
"Ok!" he shouted and was about to run off when Sasuke and Iruka both opened their mouths to protest.
"Naruto and I should really be going now. Right, Naruto." Sasuke said trying to pull the other boys orange jacket. But Naruto shook his head and said "I'm hungry, besides you said I could have some."
"Nonsense!" Kakashi said malignantly glaring at Sasuke and Iruka both. "You just joined us and Naruto here is hungry." He said ruffling Naruto's hair. "Besides we could use the company, right Iruka?"
"We came here to be alone, so Naruto wouldn't find us. We figured he would go to the Ichiraku Ramen Bar, not here. Remember?" Iruka said obviously not enjoying his new company on his date.
"HA, Ha! Man Iruka that was funny. Pretending you don't want to be with your favorite students and friends." Naruto said putting his arm on Iruka's shoulder in a friendly fashion.
Iruka pushed Naruto's elbow off him and replied, "Who said I was pretending?"
Naruto put on a vulnerable face and looked him in the eye and said "It hurts when you say stuff like that too me, do you know that?"
Iruka growled and looked at Kakashi for support.
"You two should work out your differences while you get the food. Get me some Sake while you're over there. Go on, Sasuke and I will have a little chat while your gone." Kakashi said trying to sound friendly as he roughly pulled Sasuke into the empty chair next to him.
"But-" Iruka tried to speak again but was cut off by Kakashi giving him a quick kiss on the lips and said "Please take him for a few minutes."
Sasuke looked over to see how Naruto reacted to the two kissing. From the look on his face he didn't seem phased at all. 'Maybe he wouldn't have a problem with me being gay. He didn't seem to care about Kakashi and Iruka.' Thought Sasuke.
Iruka blushed and pulled the blond to the counter to get their food without another word spoken.
"You owe me fifteen bucks." Kakashi stated simply as soon as the other two left.
"What?! Why?!" Sasuke said just below a shout, looking completely confused.
"Well let's see here, you made me loose that money to Iruka and I covered for you." Kakashi answered as if it should have been obvious.
"But that was only 10 dollars. Where does the other five come from?" Sasuke asked skeptically.
Sasuke could see the humor in Kakashi's one eye, and he was sure he wouldn't like the reasoning behind it."$2.50 service charge for covering up that you two were not on a date and-"
"Let me guess 2.50 tax." Sasuke said practically reading Kakashi's mind.
"With inflation these days the taxes are going to be high." Kakashi said trying not to laugh.
Sasuke rolled his eyes and sighed, "Fine." Sasuke then proceeded to take the $15 out of his pocket and hand it to the older man next to him.
"Thank you." Kakashi plucked the money from Sasuke's fingers and pocketed it. (Is pocketed a word? If it isn't, oh well.) "Can I go now?" Sasuke said in his usual cold voice. He didn't wait for and answer before he began to stand up.
Kakashi didn't even look at the dark haired boy. He just pushed his shoulders back down into the seat. "Nope we still need to talk."
"Just great." Sasuke muttered sarcastically under his breath.
