I saved the yaoi for last because I know this is the one all you fangirls have been waiting for. Now for teh LOVENESS!


Pairing: KakashixIruka

Kakashi sat on the roof of a building, staring up at the waning moon. It had been full three nights ago, but Kakashi had been busy for the past few nights. Now he was finally able to relax, although he had a lot on his mind. A dead body had been found a few days ago, and the blame had been placed on Orochimaru.

"He seems like he's really getting serious." Kakashi mumbled under his breath.

"Who?" came a voice. Kakashi looked around to see Iruka, walking along the rooftop towards him.

"Orochimaru. It's thought that he was the one that took down that dead shinobi that was found."

"Ah." Was all Iruka answered as he sat down next to the jounin. The two men sat in silence for a moment, staring at the moon. There was an annoying air of seriousness between them that Iruka wasn't enjoying.

"It's a nice night, isn't it?" He said, putting on a smile. Kakashi was relieved that Iruka had broken the tension and allowed himself to smile as well.

"Yeah. Summer nights are the best ones. Warm. Calm." He said, looking at Iruka. "And beautiful too." Iruka caught that Kakashi wasn't just talking about the night air and blushed slightly.

"Yeah. Exactly." Iruka answered, unconsciously scooting closer to the jounin. Kakashi absentmindedly slipped his arm around Iruka's shoulders, pulling him closer.

"By the way, how's Naruto doing?" Iruka questioned, trying to make conversation.

"Well, as you know he's survived the exam so far. But I haven't seen him since the prelims. He's been off training." Kakashi answered.

"Ah." Was Iruka said as he snuggled closer to the other man.

"Why do you always want to talk about Naruto? One might think you love him more than me." Kakashi said, giving Iruka what would have been a sarcastic smirk had it not been for the mask covering his mouth.

"You know exactly how I feel about that boy. And you should know by now exactly how I feel about you." Iruka responded, frowning slightly. "You do, right?" He added uncertainly.

"Of course. I was being sarcastic Iruka." Kakashi said in a deadly serious tone that made Iruka shiver.

"Well maybe if you weren't always wearing that mask, I'd be able to tell when you're being serious and when you're not." He said.

"You don't like my mask?" Kakashi asked, sounding offended. "Well, you know what happened last time I took it off."

"Oh yes." Iruka said, rubbing his chin and smiling at the memory of their last kiss.

Their relationship had started out as nothing spectacular. Hardly even friends. But then Kakashi had become Naruto's sensei. Suddenly they had something to talk about. With that, they truly became friends. But when Kakashi and his genin had left to the land of the waves, Iruka found himself lonely. He didn't think he would miss the jounin; after all, they had been nothing more than friends. But for some reason, Iruka had missed him. A lot.

When Kakashi came back from that mission, Iruka was elated. He wanted to run up to the man and hug him like any girl in the village would want to do to Sasuke. But of course he couldn't do that. Instead he just smiled and welcomed his friend back. It wasn't until a few days later, when the two men were sitting around talking, much like tonight, that Iruka realized exactly how he felt about his so-called friend. So he blurted it out. Right then, right there as soon as he had realized it. He expected Kakashi to leave then, and avoid him when ever could. He didn't expect the man to go down him right there. And everything just went from there.

Lost in his thoughts, Iruka didn't notice Kakashi slip off his mask and drape his other arm around Iruka's shoulders as well. He didn't notice when the jounin had physically turned Iruka to face him. He didn't even notice when Kakashi took the chunin's chin in his hand and tilted his face towards his. Only the gentle kiss planted on his lips snapped him back to here and now.

"See now? Every time I take my mask off I have to kiss you." Kakashi said after he pulled away.

"You pulled that mask off yourself. Don't blame me." Iruka retorted.

"If you hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have done it." Kakashi pointed out.

"You're acting like this is a bad thing." Iruka responded. Kakashi sighed.

"It almost is. Being a ninja is dangerous Iruka, we both learned that the hard way. I'm too attached to you. Any day one of us could get a mission that can end our life. Or..." Kakashi looked at the ground below them, imagining Iruka fighting with Orochimaru and losing. Badly. "It doesn't even have to be a mission that kills us." He kissed Iruka's cheek. "I don't know what I'd do if anything ever happened to you."

Iruka frowned for a moment as he thought. If he was ever separated from Kakashi, whether it was he who was killed or his love, he wouldn't know what to do either. He'd probably give up being a shinobi all together. Or maybe he would merely stop being a sensei so he could commit his life to revenge. Or perhaps he'd just sit down and cry. But then a thought struck him.

"You can sound really romantic when you try, you know that?" He wrapped his arms around the jounin. "But let's not think about that. Right now is all that matters, right?" Kakashi couldn't help but smile.

"Yeah. You're right." He said, planting another kiss on his lover's lips.


M'kay... different than the last two but still... Please forgive Kakashi's slight OOCness.
