Ch. 8

After Kakashi left, only because Iruka had to kiss him to get rid of him, and claming down from that, Iruka started getting ready for his class. While changing, Brownie decided to make her presents know to her master. Smiling fondly down at the cream brown cat, Iruka bend down to stretch behind her ear. He was satisfied when she purred before standing up straight again. "You must be hungry, uh?"

"Meow"

Once in the kitchen with Brownie at his foot, Iruka gave her some milk and tuna from a can. She meowed her thanks before she began eating. He made a mental note to buy some cat food later on today as he made some toast for himself. After he finished eating, he made sure there was plenty of water, cause milk tasted nasty after a while, and tuna. "Bye Brownie, be good." Putting on his shoes, Iruka was out the door.

As he walked out of his house and towards the Academy where he worked, he couldn't but think about the events that took place a little while ago with Kakashi. Embarrassing as it was, Iruka had to admit Kakashi had a, as he had put it, 'a hot bod'. Then the kissing part, it was the only thing he could think of to get rid of Kakashi. But Kakashi being Kakashi, wouldn't let an opportunity like that past him up.

'Really, what was Kakashi thinking?' he thought as he walked into the Academy doors.

Flashback
It was hard for Kakashi to keep his smirk off his face. Iruka kept staring at his six-pack and he was pretty sure that Iruka wasn't aware that he was doing that. Not that Kakashi was

complaining or anything, it just showed that Iruka found him attractive and that was a plus in his book.

"You like what you see?"

That snapped Iruka out of his daze to look up at Kakashi's face with a full on blush on his own, apparently Kakashi was right. Quickly shifting his eyes, Iruka thanked god that he wasn't drooling or anything, that would have just been playing embarrassing and would have made him want to go bury himself under a hole to never come out again. Coughing a little, he mumbled a quiet 'go put on a shirt' before trying to get out of Kakashi's embrace.

Brownie thought it would be safer if she waited outside her master's room for some breakfast, she didn't want to get in her master's way. She kind of felt sorry for him when she saw the big one's grip tightening very time her master tried to escape.

"Let go Kakashi!"

"Don't want to."

"Kakashi, let me go right now!"

"You don't like being in my arms?"

"Not when I have to go to work in half an hour! Kakashi, please."

Looking into soft brown pleading eyes, Kakashi caved in. "…fine, but just you wait when you come back home." Okay, maybe he didn't really cave in.

Iruka did not like the sound of that, there was no way he wanted to come back home to someone who probably wanted to molest him in everyway imaginable. "Er, did I forget to mention that I have to stay after class to do, um…some paperwork! Yeah, grading paperwork, I mean after all I am a teacher and teachers do these types of things, so…"

"So I'll keep you company then! Problem solved."

"Keeping me company is not the same as molesting me and there wasn't problem to begin with. You know what, never mind. I'll come home after class."

"Keeping someone company and molesting are partially the same thing is you think about it. You don't have to work in the mission room today?"

"Only you would think that Kakashi. What's today?"

"Friday."

"I don't work on Fridays in the mission room."

"Really? Interesting…"

"But maybe I should from now on, for my own protection."

"Don't be mean Iruka."

"Then stop being a pervert Kakashi."

"Me? Being a pervert? What have I done right now to be called a pervert, mm?"

"That look you got in your eye when I said I don't work on Fridays."

"I have no idea what you're talking about Iruka-sensei."

"Don't call me sensei, it sounds wrong coming out of your mouth."

"But you are a sensei, are you not?"

"Let me rephrase that, the way your saying sensei sounds wrong. Speaking of sensei, I need to get ready for work."

"It's only 6:39, doesn't school start at 8:00?"

"Unlike some people, I like being early."

"By being an hour early?"

"Look Kakashi, if I kiss you, well you leave and for once go meet up with your team earlier then you usual do. And I don't mean by 10 minutes, I'm talking about an hour here and I will ask Naruto to make sure that you did."

"That's quite demanding for just a little kiss I'm going to be getting. But I guess that's okay."

Iruka blinked in surprise at how easy that was, he didn't think Kakashi would agree to that maybe to a French kiss but not to a little one. Ignoring Kakashi's innocent smile, Iruka leaned forward and placed his soft lips onto smooth ones for a kiss.

'Just because it started as simple doesn't mean that it has to end simple' Kakashi thought as he slipped in his tongue into a surprise Iruka.

Brownie continued to lick her paw as she heard a very, very loud 'smack'. 'What funny people they are…'

End of Flashback
A teacher raised her eyebrow when she saw her few colleague starting to blush like mad for no reason and seemed to be mumbling something about…did she hear correctly, 'stupid horny jounins'? But she could be wrong, after all this was Iruka she was talking about. Iruka would never say anything like that, would he? Shaking her head and drinking her cup of coffee, she continued to walk down the hall to her classroom. Sometimes ignorance is bliss.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sakura continued to look at the water under the bridge, waiting for her two other teammates to show up. 'It's not like Sasuke and Naruto to be late, Kakashi-sensei yes but not them. I hope Kakashi-sensei hasn't rubbed off on them, god forbidden if Sasuke starts wearing a mask to cover up his handsome face!' That thought left Sakura with a sour taste to her mouth. 'I'll never forgive Kakashi-sensei if that happens! I'll torture him to death for doing that to me!' For some odd reason, fire appeared behind her as she raised her clenched fist in the air. As she continued to think of ways of torture her sensei, she didn't notice her two teammates walking towards the bridge.

"Ne Sasuke, Sakura is looking really scary today why do you suppose that is?" Naruto asked as he looked at the flames with his arms folded behind his head as he walked. He didn't know that Sakura could do a fire jutsu.

"How the hell am I supposed to know?" As much as he hated to admit it, Naruto was right, Sakura did look pissed off. Maybe it was just that time of the month or something. "Let's not piss her off for say around a good week."

Naruto moved his eyes from the flames to Sasuke, who was right besides him. "Um, why a week?"

"Just trust me on this."

"Oh, okay then, if you say so." They both walked on the bridge with caution, not wanting to set off their teammate who just cackled evilly a moment ago. As they walked, they had their eyes on Sakura which is probably why Naruto didn't see the twig he was about to step on. Sasuke immediately snapped his head to glare at Naruto who looked sheepishly at the broken twig on the ground.

"Sasuke I'm so happy to see you! You're not covering your face!" They turned their attention back to Sakura and to their surprise instead of flames there were…flowers!

Naruto shook his head and didn't even bother to try and explain that one. 'It must be a girl thing or something' he thought, no way was he going to ask Sakura about it. He didn't have a death wish.

Sasuke on the other hand looked at the girl with a raised eyebrow at her statement on him not having his face covered. 'Why the hell would I do something stupid like that?'

'Good question, why would you?'

'…not you again.'

'I missed you too'

'Leave me alone.'

'…what an ass…

'Did you say something?'

'Nothing! Oh look, she's talking to you.'

"Ne Sasuke, why were you late today?" she smiled as looked at Sasuke's unmasked face. He didn't say anything to her as he walked pasted her, going towards the tree that was at the end of the bridge. Sakura didn't seemed fazed one bit by his behavior but couldn't help but notice the bandage that was wrapped around his hand. Her eyes widen with worry and she immediately chased after him. "Sasuke what happened to your hand!" If she hadn't turned her back towards Naruto, she would have noticed his gazes hitting the ground with a frown on his face, almost as if in shame.

Thinking it would just be better to answer the girl's question instead of having her bug him all day, Sasuke answered, "I cut myself this morning, that's why I was late." He looked up to see if she bought it, but of course she bought. His gaze then shifted towards the blond who was still on the bridge, looking at the floor. Sighing, Sasuke piped up his voice a little, "You look like an idiot standing there."

That did the tick. Naruto ran over to where Sasuke and Sakura were at before shouting out, "You bastard!" to Sasuke.

"Naruto! Don't call Sasuke that."

"But Sakura, he is!"

"Naruto!"

"Hey, there's no I in team" a chirpy voice said from behind them causing three heads to turned to their poor excuse of a sensei.

Jumping around, Naruto and Sakura both shouted at the same time, "YOU'RE LATE!"

"Ma ma, I found this cute dolphin, really cute, who need CPR, so I thought I'll be a good civilian and help the poor little dolphin."

"LAIR!"

Sakura blinked when she realized that she was the only one to shout that out, which was odd because her and Naruto would always shout out 'lair' together when Kakashi made his lame excuse. Turning her head towards Naruto so she could ask what was wrong, she blinked again in surprise when she saw him looking ready to explode. Sasuke silently counted in his head, '1, 2…3'

"YOU BASTARD! WHAT DID YOU DO TO IRUKA-SENSEI! IT BETTER NOT HAVE BEEN SOMETHING PERVERTED!"

Sasuke and Sakura were pretty sure they were going to go deaf at an early age from having Naruto on their team. They turned to look at their sensei, who looked completely fine, much to their annoyance. 'Why couldn't Naruto miss up his eardrums instead of ours?' they silently thought at the same time.

Kakashi, still in his chirpy voice, answered the loud blond, "I swear I didn't do anything perverted to Iruka last night and this morning. Speaking of morning, we have a lot of stuff to do today so come on." He turned around and started walking off.

Poor Naruto looked like he was going to have heart attack when Kakashi mentioned to words 'last night and this morning'. After getting over his shock quickly, he was hot on Kakashi's tail, which was waging pretty happily. He asked several questions, wanting to know the answers so he knew how much pain to inflict when he tortured his lazy-ass pervert sensei later.

Behind them, Sakura followed with pure confusion in her green eyes. 'What does Iruka-sensei have to do with this?' She hoped to get some answers from Naruto's questions that were directed to their sensei but he wasn't answering them. Instead he made comments on how lovely today was which aggravated both Naruto and Sakura to no end.

Sasuke sighed as he followed them, thinking this was going to be a long day.

"Damn it sensei! Answer my questions!"

"I don't get it, what's going on!"

"Isn't the sun shining beautiful today?"

Sasuke sighed again, 'A really long day…'
