*Feels own wrist* What the- I'm alive! Huh, that's weird. Since I haven't

updated in over....two freaking months! Sorry but school and my computer got

sick and I had to pay a VERY high doctors bill for it, and then I got new

shoes and I had to stare at them for like three hours because their so new and

shiny. =D Sorry. For those of you who wanted the bar scene, you will get

something better! Oh, and the people that noticed that I called some

people 'chan', oops. I didn't mean that, because yes, it is a thing that a

girlfriend and boyfriend call each other (or yaoi) But trust me, none of that

is going on...(Maybe) Here we go!

Iruka was pacing back and forth in front of the school he taught at with Gai

leaning against the building.

"Will you relax? Rock Lee always succeeds in his little missions. Besides, how

hard can it be to find a grown man? Not only that, but it's Kakashi for God's

sake."

"Then why is it taking so long? Forget it, I'm going to go look for him myself."

Just then a distant voice came from a few yards away.

"Gai-sensei!!"

Gai looked up to see his number one pupil run up to him with Kakashi being

dragged along. After a few seconds, they noth passed Iruka and ran in front of

Gai.

"Mission complete sir."

Lee saluted his teacher and pointed to Kakashi in case Gai was blind to the

object in mind. Kakashi then leaned into Gai so close that they were almost

touching noses.

"You got...old."

"Old! Who are you calling old!? Your older then me."

Kakashi shook his head.

"No, I'm just taller."

Gai looked like he was about to start yelling until his lungs would burst, but

Iruka pulled Kakashi away.

"Where the hell did you go? I thought I told you to stay still."

"Naruto said I wouldn?t get in trouble."

"Naruto!? I'm going to get that boy!"

Iruka then snapped out of his thoughts and turned back to Gai and Lee.

"Thank you Gai. I'll pay you back later, right now I have to get Kakashi back

to Hokage."

"Sure thing."

Gai gave his shiny smile and petted Lee on the top of his black hair, they both

turned around and started to head back to their own little eyes. Before they

left Iruka heard Gai say,

"What happened to your face? You?re all scratched up."

"Kakashi pushed me. What was I supposed to do, hit him back?"

"Of course! When I was your age, Kakashi and I use to.."

And then they were gone. Iruka turned back to Kakashi to glare at him for

disobeying but reconsidered. Kakashi was digging his foot into the dirt with

his hands in his pockets. It seemed that he looked like he knew what he did was

wrong. Iruka sighed to himself.

"Come on Kakashi?"

Iruka then started to walk back to the Hokage's shrine. Kakashi look up from

the nice little hole he made in the ground.

"He he. Sucker! Works every time?"

He then himself turned around and followed Iruka like a puppy.

***

"This time, don't move. Or I'm going to throw you down a well. Got it?"

Kakashi never got that threat before. Yamish always told him that he was going

to hang Kakashi from a tree. Kakashi could always get down from a tree, but he

wasn't sure if he could from a well...he nodded in fear that the grown up Iruka

would do it. Iruka left for only a few seconds and came back with Hokage in

front of him.

"Good, you?re here this time."

Hokage then sat behind his desk and lit up his pipe. He puffed it a bit, trying

to think of how to say this the best way.

"Kakashi...you see...Ok. Your going to be staying with Iruka for Yondaime left

for a trip."

Iruka was nodding all the while until he heard his name being said. And then

when the sentence finished, he snapped his head over to Hokage as if the old

man snapped. Iruka?s eyes grew wide and he tilted his head and in a 'WHAT!?'

type expression.

"Oh. Ok, were did Yondaime go?"

"Er...to run a dangerous errand for me. Yes, that?s sounds about right."

"Oh. Ok."

It wasn?t like Kakashi really cared. It wasn?t any of his business anyways.

Iruka was still standing there with his mouth open. Then he spoke up.

"Hold on a sec-"

The Hokage pulled down Iruka to his level.

"I don't trust Kakashi as a child to stay with anyone else. Besides that, you

have more experience out of the teachers of how to handle children. And I don?t

want him to think anything changed too much, for I

don?t know what kind of impact this would have on him when he returns to

normal. So far as any of us know, Yondaime is still alive, and he is not a

teacher. His a normal little boy. Got it? Is this a problem for you?"

Iruka turned back to look at Kakashi, who had his head tilted to the side

trying to hear what the two 'older' men were saying. Iruka sighed in defeat.

"No sir, there is no problem. I?ll do my best."

Hokage smiled and let Iruka go. He nodded to Kakashi, stood up, and walked off

puffing smoke. Iruka watched him leave, and then walked over to where Kakashi

was standing.

"You heard him. Come on. Lets go home."

Kakashi stood up and followed the pony-tailed man out into the street and to

Iruka?s home.

In the street, Iruka kept looking over his shoulder to make sure Kakashi was

still following. But after about ten minutes, Kakashi stopped and looked in a

window of a small store. This of course made Iruka stop and he walked back to

what Kakashi was staring at. Candy. A full shop of it as well.

'Yoshi's Goods' that was what the sigh above it?s door read. Iruka looked into

Kakashi?s one eye that was open to see the amazement it held. It looked as

though Kakashi had just seen God there and then. The brown haired man smiled to

himself. He had no idea that the older man had a sweet tooth. In fact, Iruka

new very little about him.

"Want one?"

Kakashi just slowly nodded. For if he were to blink, the candy would be gone.

Iruka sighed again and scratched his head.

"Alright. Come on."

"Really!?"

Iruka nodded. He wasn?t quite sure, but he could have sworn he head Kakashi say

a small ?woo? to himself. He didn?t ask him though because Kakashi was in the

store already asking Miss. Musite what everything was.

'Wooow. Yondaime never let me have sugar after that one Christmas. Maybe I

should tell Iruka-san.? Nah.'

Oh dear, Iruka is going to have his hands full with a sugar-high ninja in his

house. Ok, I'll try to hurry with the next chapter. Don't worry, I have a whole

little plot in my mind...I think. Ok! Review!
