A Secret Moment With Foxlyn Pt.2

Iruka walked over to his chair, secretly relieved that she had her shirt over her. Foxlyn tried to sit up, and did with the help from one of Iruka's hands. His other hand was holding the tissue to his nose. Iruka's eyes widened as Foxlyn ripped her sweater to shreds, pulled them away, threw them to the floor, and slipped her T-shirt on. Iruka's nose dispensed blood again. Foxlyn watched him as he ran into the bathroom. A few minutes later he walked out with two small tissues stuck in his nostrils. "You okay?" she asked. Iruka nodded.

"What happened last night? After you left?" Iruka asked after he had gotten control of his nose. Foxlyn layed back down and stared at him. "I went on a hunt." she said softly. "An assassiantion?" Foxlyn nodded. "Who did you kill?" Iruka asked. "I was supposed to kill an assassin that was after some guy, but I was ambushed by his henchmen." she told him. "That was the business you had to attend to, wasn't it?" he asked. She told him it was.

"Where am I?" Foxlyn asked. She studied the unfamiliar surroundings. "Lady Kishi's home. Naruto, Kisuna, and I brought you here." She nodded and thanked him. Iruka smiled. A memory began to enter his mind but it was swept away when she asked, "Have you seen my bands anywhere?" Iruka looked around. "What bands?" Foxlyn spotted them and pointed. Iruka gave them to her. She pulled her hair back into two ponytails on the either side of her head. Iruka sighed, thinking the memory was gone, but another flashback came.

)( Flashback )(

Iruka opened his eyes to see a girl smiling at him. "That... was fun..." she said. Her chest was heaving, she was out of breath. A young Iruka nodded. He was around the age of 12, and so was the girl. She was dressed in a white shirt that had red trimming, white shorts with black trim, and a yin yang was embroidered on her shirt. She grabbed two red bands and pulled them into her hair, splitting the thick tendrils into two ponytails.

)( End Flashback )(

Iruka gasped. The girl in his flashback... looked exactly like Foxlyn! 'Could she be her? But how? She's only a kid. And that was years ago... She would have grown up by now. Unless this is her daughter... but she's too old to be her daughter...'

"Iruka?" Iruka snapped out of his thoughts. He looked at Foxlyn. She did look like the girl, a girl that he loved a long time ago. "Yes?" he asked. She shrugged, shaking her head. "Nothing, you just seemed dazed." Foxlyn answered. "Oh? Sorry." Foxlyn smiled. "It's okay."

'It is... at least I think so. That's can't be... can it?'

Foxlyn leaned over and waved a hand in Iruka's face. "You're dazing off again." Iruka apologized. "What is it? I know you're thinking of something. So what is it?" Foxlyn asked. Iruka shook his head. "It's nothing." Foxlyn raised her brow. "Tell me... please?" Iruka sighed in defeat. "I..." He paused, trying to pick out his words carefully. "Who are you?" Foxlyn tilted her head to the side. "Who am I? I'm Foxlyn." She said, staring at him strangely. Iruka's eyes fell to the floor. "It's strange. You look like someone I knew, a long time ago." Iruka whispered softly. "Really?" He nodded.

"Who was she?" Iruka shrugged. "I can't remember her name." Foxlyn nodded. She swung her legs over the side of the bed. She tossed the blanket off of her. She tried to stand, but her legs fell and she stumbled back onto the bed. 'She drugged me; my legs are numb, dammit!' Foxlyn cursed the nurse. Now she couldn't walk! "Uh... can you... help me out?" Iruka blinked. He swung one of her arms over his shoulders. "That won't work..." Foxlyn told him. "It's won't?" Foxlyn nodded, sweatdropping. "My legs are numb, they won't move." Iruka sweatdropped.

Iruka walked out, cradling Foxlyn in his arms. "You sure you should be leaving?" Iruka asked. She nodded. "There's nothing they can do for me, just give me ice packs, check ups, fluids, and lots of sleep. I can get that elsewhere." Foxlyn said. Iruka nodded. "Where do you want to go?" he asked. She thought, but didn't tell him where she really wanted to go. "How about Naruto's?" He nodded and walked on.

Iruka walked in. As he suspected, no one was there. "They all went to a training ession with Kakashi." Iruka explained. She gave a dismissal shrug. "My sister is staying in that room." She pointed. "You want me to take you in there?" He went on and entered the room. "I'll be fine."

He put a tender hand to her forehead and cheeks. "What... are you doing?" She asked. "Checking to see if you have a fever. Do you want me to get you anything?" Foxlyn's face flushed. "I'm not disabled!" she yelled. "I know, but you won't be walking for hours. I just wanted to make sure you won't pass out." Foxlyn smiled. "I'll be fine, thanks." Now it was Iruka's turn to blush. "I'll see you later, unless you want to me stay until Kisuna gets back." Foxlyn shook her head. "Nah, you had better get home." Iruka stood and walked to the door. "See you later." Foxlyn said. "Later."

Iruka walked home in silence. He just couldn't get it out of his head, about Foxlyn being that girl. What the hell was her name? He walked into his house, heading for his room. He took off his leg holster and vest. They were put away and he bathed.

Iruka changed into a pair of loose, night shorts. His hitai-ate was gently set atop his dresser. He climbed into bed and laid there, staring into the dark cieling. His eyes closed slowly. Mentally, he searched for any memories of the girl. The only ones that popped up were of him scolding Naruto, the painful ones where Naruto was tricked by Mizuki, Naruto getting in trouble, the demon fox... Iruka opened his eyes. His whole life... Naruto was everywhere. He smiled and tried again. Memories of his childhood flooded in. He had always been the class clown; anything to attract attention, because he had been made an orphan when the demon fox killed his parents. That same demon was the one sealed within Naruto.

He sat up abruptly when he heard a door click. Had he just imagined it? Silently he settled back down. An odd sense of deja-vu filled him with dread. He sat up, but a familar event took place in which he wsa pushed down and pinned to the bed. His eyes widened before he could register what was going on. Someone was straddling him. Soft words whispered into his ear.

"Shh... I just want to tell you a secret." The voice belonged to Foxlyn. What was she doing there? 'She should be at Naruto's...' Iruka wondered. He couldn't say anything because, like the first time, she had put her had over his mouth.

"Remember what you said? About the girl you knew. You do want to know her name don't you? ...It's Lillian." Iruka's eyes widened. "And I know why she looks just like me." His heart rate began to speed up. "You do?" His voice muffled against her chilled palm. Foxlyn smiled and stared into his eyes. She leaned close to his ear. A trickle of prespiration slid down from Iruka's brow. "It's because... I am her." His heart skipped. 'It... can't be!' He heard her chuckles breathing against his ear. She moved her head to let him speak. Only then did he realize that he had been holding his breath. She grinned.

"But... I... There's no way." Iruka whispered. She pressed her forehead to his, smashing thier bangs into tangles. "What do you think of that news?" she asked. He gulped. Thier breath mingled. "I don't believe it." he said. She smirked. "No? Then I'll just have to be more convincing, won't I?" Foxlyn raised up and lowered slowly. She closed her eyes. Thier lips met. A shock jolted into Iruka. His eyes closed obediantly. 'It all seems so possible... but it can't be true. This seems... too... familiar...'

)( Flashback )(

Iruka opened his eyes. He saw a pair of hazel orbs staring down at him. "So... uh..." The form lifted up to show a girl with long black hair, split into two ponytails. She and Iruka had known each other for months now. She had told him that her name was Lillian. "That was unexpected." Iruka said. Lillian blushed. "What do you think?" she asked. She brushed a hand against his skin. Her head rested on his chest. He smiled. "Lillian, you won't ever leave me will you?" She looked shocked. "Of course not."

)( End Flashback)(

Iruka opened his eyes. He saw a pair of hazel orbs staring down at him. "So... uh..." The form lifted up to show a girl with long black hair, split into two ponytails. She and Iruka had known each other two days now. She had told him that her name was Foxlyn. "That was unexpected." Iruka said. Foxlyn smiled. "What do you think?" she asked. She brushed a hand against his skin. Her head rested on his chest.

Iruka's heart froze. Foxlyn... She was... older, his age. She had longer hair, sharper eyes, higher cheekbones, slightly darker skin. She was taller, more agile, and her lips were fuller. "You... are her, but how? You were just a little kid." He stated. Foxlyn laughed softly. "Come on, you're a ninja. You should know. It's called illusion." His eyes widened. "Then... it is you!" She nodded and he returned her smile. "I don't believe it." He said, even though he did.

"At first, I didn't either." She pressed her brow to his again. "But... I'm glad." Iruka agreed with her. "You sure where convincing." Iruka said with a laugh. "I really did think you were a little kid." Foxlyn huffed. "Who are you calling a kid?" She asked with a grin. She raised up and crossed her arms. His heart swelled, having seen this before.

Foxlyn leaned down and kissed him again. "Is that it? We're just going to pick up where we left off?" Iruka asked awkwardly. "I... haven't thought about it. I just came here to find my sister, and found you as well." Iruka's hands rested on her waist. "I'm glad..." he said. His thumbs caressed her. "How's your wound?" She smiled. "It's good."

"Oh, I'm sorry. I'm still... sitting on you." Foxlyn fumbled and tried to get off him. His eyes widened. She was dressed in a white shirt with red trimming, white pants with black trim, and a yin yang was embroidered on it! Just like in his first flashback. She staggered while trying to get off Iruka, and made a vraious formation of uncooridinated movements. A chill ran up his spine; he moaned. Foxlyn's face flushed.

"Iruka!" She shouted. He tried to stifle his laughter. "It was your fault." He said. She huffed. "You did it, I only reacted." he said. She instantly got off him real fast. Iruka laughed. She rolled to her side and stared at him. Iruka turn on his side, cupped her cheek, and said, "I've missed you." She smiled at him. "I missed you, too." Foxlyn replied softly. "You didn't tell me your real name was Foxlyn." She smiled. "Well... it is." She hoped he didn't see the lie in her words.

Iruka pulled her to his chest and kissed her forehead. "You left before I ever got to tell you..." Iruka murmered. "Tell me what?" He lockedeyes with her for a moment before admitting, "I love you..." She blushed. A smile claimed her lips. She snuggled into his chest. "I love you too, and this time.. I'm not leaving you. Nothing could tear us apart." Iruka smiled. "Not even if your master comes back to take you?" he asked, knowing she still wouldn't leave. Her eyes darted away. "Of course not, I... my master is dead. All that's left in my heart is my sisters and you." Iruka cuddled with her. Unfortunatly he didn't hear the 's' on sisters.

Toorikosu: Hahaha! A little suspesey cliff-hanger there, no? What will happen next? If you want to know... here's a little tid bit I picked out to tease you all with.

"Meet, Foxlyn Shiitama." Foxlyn steped out from behind Iruka, in her childish age of 13. She grinned. Kisuna's eyes widened in horror. "You're going to be a ninja!" she screamed. Foxlyn nodded. "Hai, imouto, be prepared." Foxlyn said with a sadistic smirk. Kisuna gulped. She looked up at Iruka with tears in her eyes. "Do you hate me that much?" Iruka stared down at her with wide eyes. "Wha?" He sweatdropped. Tears fell down her face in twin rivers. "Why don't you just kill me yourself?" Iruka walked back, not quite sure what to make of the situation. "I... Uh... eh?"

Teehee! I hope that satisfys you for now!

On another hand, I think I've said this before but I'm not sure. So far all these chapters have been pre-written before about a year ago. (One reason why they may suck...) But as for future chapters (I'm currently working on chapter 18: Uchiha Flame now) I would like to ask: "What do you want?" What would you like to have me put the poor Konoha ninjas through? I'm asking now because there's a new person coming up and after having re-read the chapter, I decided that it SUCKS. I'll more than likely end up re-writing it. I don't particulary like how the person is introduced so I'm begging for help. (Hate to be this way, but if I can't come up with any ideas it'll be a looooooooong time before I'm able to update. I really need to get some chapters up in all my stories before May 26th which is when I'll be going on a 2 month vacation. So it all depends on you smart people out there! What kind of ideas do you have? What would you like to see? How would you enter this new character (who happens to be very shy, Hinata-like)? I would really appreciate and love you to death to all who send in reviews with suggestions to help me out. Thanks in advance, Toorikosu.

PS DragonMan180, Thanks for the tip. I might just try that in the future chapters. I have an idea where it may or may not work, but if not, I have an open mind for what kind of trouble to put the comedy shinobis through. Hmm.. what would Foxlyn get the blondes to do, and how would she bribe them? How would you like Sasuke tortured? (Though it can't be too much... Just wait and you'll see. There's lots of SasuFox fluff coming in the future!)
