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

Kakashi ran through the trees, hot on the heels of his nin-dogs. That cat was not going to get away! People dodged out of the way as the raging procession left the forest for the streets of Konoha.

Kakashi didn't realize where they were headed until they turned a corner to see the school, children dotting the grounds on their way to school.

He saw the book, still caught in the cat's mouth. He saw the cat, clutched in the arms of a little girl. He saw the dogs, bearing down on the pair with death in their eyes.

And he saw Umino Iruka, rushing out to save his student with death in his eyes.

Uh oh…

Iruka, with his legendary quickness, snatched girl and cat both out of harms way, just before the nin-dogs reached them.

Kakashi banished the dogs before they could cause any more problems. He knew by the look on Iruka's face that he was in enough trouble already, and he had found the cat, there was really no reason for them to stick around.

Iruka rounded on him, his face going crimson with rage, the little girl, now crying hysterically, still clutched in his arms, and the cat with her. Kakashi braced himself for the outburst he knew was coming. He wasn't disappointed.

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING KAKASHI!" the chunin roared, making the jounin wince, despite being prepared for it. "YOU WERE ABOUT TO ATTACK A CHILD! LOOK AT HER KAKASHI! SHE'S A LITTLE GIRL! WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU DOING!"

Kakashi pointed at the squirming cat and meekly tried to explain. "I just wanted my book…"

"Oh so that's what this was about is it?" Iruka's face turned, if possible, an even darker shade of red, his voice now dangerously low. "You would attack a child to get your precious book would you? Well I'll tell you what, not only am I going to report you to the Hokage, I am going to keep this book! It'll be good for you to get away from it anyway. You're obviously obsessed."

"But Iruka!" Kakashi protested. "My book!"

Iruka turned his back. "I thought better of you Kakashi, really I did."

Kakashi stared forlornly at the teachers retreating back. How was he going to get his book back now?

He continued to stand there for several minutes letting despair take him. The spell was broken as he spotted Iruka leaving the building, supposedly to have a talk with the Hokage, immediately.

The jounin sighed, then a plan sprang into his mind. Maybe Iruka hadn't taken the book with him? Maybe it was still up in his room. Well, he was already in it deep, why not go take his book back. He should be able to get at least some of it read before the summons came to see the Hokage for his punishment.

He waited till Iruka was out of sight before slipping in the window. Quickly walking to the desk he pried open one of the drawers and reached in to feel around for the book. It wasn't there. He made to pull his hand out of the drawer and stopped. He was stuck.

Kakashi cursed under his breath. A trap. Why hadn't he seen this coming? But that was easy enough to answer. He could never think strait when Icha Icha was on the line.

Half an hour later Iruka and Tsunade Hokage walked into the classroom to find Kakashi still caught in the desk, exhausted from trying everything he could think of to extract himself from the trap.

Iruka gave a purely malicious grin. "I told you Hokage, I told you he would try to get it! He's totally obsessed!"

Kakashi groaned and let his head fall to the desk. He was going to get it now. Caught red handed. He was a jounin, how could he be this stupid?

Tsunade frowned at him. "I'm afraid I have to agree with Iruka, Kakashi. You're obsessed. Sneaking into classrooms, attacking children? This has to be stopped! I'm sorry Kakashi but I am going to have to take that book."

Kakashi gaped at her. "What! You can't do that! It's a personal item!"

"But it's interfering with your job. It is my duty to see that this stops here. And as for your punishment, you will be aiding Iruka with his students."

"WHAT!"

"For a week." Kakashi groaned and hid his head in his free arm. He couldn't bear the look of triumph on Iruka's face. Tsunade held up the book. "I am going to keep this somewhere safe, so that you won't find it again. IF you can show me that you have grown up a little I might, just let you have it back. No promises."

"Yes Hokage," Kakashi mumbled into his elbow. His voice sounded weak, and apparently convince the Hokage, because she ordered Iruka to release him, much to the chunin's disappointment.

But really he was formulating a plan. He would get that book back, whether the Hokage was going to give it to him or not. A whole week was just too long to wait.

But he was a man who had been jounin at age thirteen and was now considered the most feared ninja in Konoha. When he wanted something he was going to get it. That book wouldn't stay hidden for long.
