Hiroko snuck back in the classroom, and quietly closed the door. Noticing I was asleepShe took all of my work out of my basket, and hid it under her desk. She walked over to me, and started lightly shaking me... Kakashi knelt down beside me, and started to plead. "Oh Iruka Sensei, please don't go! I'm lost without you, I'll be so miserable all by myself! If you leave... I'll go insane, please! Don't leave me Sensei! I hate to beg like this, but I love you! Iruka, Iruka! Iruka sensei!" I stood up, and turned away from him. "I'm sorry Kakashi, but it's just the way it has to be... "Iruka Sensei, Iruka, Iruka please wake up!" She said, and I mumbled, "Ah I love you Kakashi! What?"
I sat up, and she smiled. "You were sleeping... Anyway the Hokage says that you can go on your vacation, but one week only. Sorry I tried to get more, but he just wouldn't settle" she said sighing, and I nodded. "Oh ok, that's just fine. Starting when tomorrow?" I asked, and she nodded. " Yep, that's right" "Ok, then I'll pack later on tonight, when I get off. Hmm, wonder what should I do now?" I said smiling, and she shrugged. "I have a suggestion, how's about you go tell Kakashi that your leaving. Being that your leaving because of him" She said, and I shook my head. "Oh no! I have too much work to do!" I said looking at my basket, and it was empty! "What? where'd all my work go?" I said putting my hand on my head, and she laughed.
"I did It all for you while you were sleeping, Now go! He's at the training grounds Iruka. . . And No, you don't have anything else left to do!" She said closing her eyes, and I stood up. "Ok, I guess I could at least tell him goodbye" I said walking out, and she laughed. "Tell him ya love him while your at it!" She shouted, and I quickly shut the door before anyone heard. I quickly walked down the hall, and toward the back of the academy. I should just turn back right now, and go see if the Hokage needs help, but I wont. I mean I have to tell him, just so he'll know! How bad could it be? I thought walking outside, and past the academy gardens. I could see Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura in the distance, practicing how to balance chakra. I walked over and spotted Kakashi under a tree.
I gasped feeling my heart's pace quicken. I'm going to feel terrible after this... I thought walking up to him, and I knelt down beside him. "Catching a nap, Kakashi?" I whispered, and he slowly opened his eye. "Oh hey bab... Oh! Iruka sensei, what brings you here?" He said quickly sitting up, and I smiled.. "Well I wanted to talk to you seeing that you aren't busy?" I asked looking at him, and he stood up. "Oh no I'm not, they've just finished their training. Naruto's getting stronger ya know? Slowly, but surely" He said smiling under his mask, and I stood up. "Oh yes, I expect great things from him" "Ok team 7! Your training session is over, our next meeting will be tomorrow at dawn, just outside the gates of the Village. Good job all of you, and goodbye!" He shouted waving, and they walked off groaning.
"We expect you to be there on time right Kakashi Senesi?" Sakura shouted, and he laughed. "I'll try!" He shouted, and she rolled her eyes and ran after Sasuke and Naruto. "So Iruka Sensei, let's have that talk" He said motioning for us to walk, and I nodded walking next to him. "Kakashi, I'm... uh this is harder than I thought" I said sighing, he waved his hand for me to continue. "Well we have all afternoon, you can tell me Iruka" he said smiling, and I bit my lip. "I'm leaving..." I whispered, and his visible eye widened. "Oh... that is a big deal, when, where, for how long?" He said stopping, I sighed and said, "Tomorrow, for a week, and I dunno where I'm going... "A week! But I thought it was two...Oh! I mean Iruka do you have to leave? Is it a mission? Cause I thought you weren't assigned to do them, right?" He said, and I looked at him.
"Um... no it's more like a vacation, a break if you will. C'mon Kakashi stop making such a big deal out of a little thing! It's just a week!" I said turning away from him, and he sighed. "Well I have too, cause it is to me! I mean you're my friend, and I'll miss you. A week is a long time Iruka, even though it doesn't seem to be... is there a reason why your leaving at least? Anything specific?" He said starting to walk, and I shrugged.. "N-no, I just wanted some time off" I said following him, and he laughed. "Really? Oh C'mon Iruka when was the last time... No! Ever when you wanted a break, huh?" he said laughing, and I blushed. I stopped walking, and he turned around. I sighed, and sat down by a tree. He sat down next to me, and put his arm around my neck.
"Never, ok I know Kakashi...But still" I said resting my head on his shoulder, and he smiled. "Ok, then is it because you just realized that you have a life?" He laughed even harder, and I nudged him. "Yes, actually I did! And I'm leaving tomorrow like it or not" I said closing my eyes, and he shook me. "Oh lighten up a little, I'm sorry Iruka! I understand that whatever you want to do, is up to you" He said nodding, and I smiled. "Really? Thanks Kakashi, I'm glad you understand" I said, and he bursted out laughing. I sighed, and pushed him. "Oh damn you Kakashi! You always think everything's just a big joke!" I shouted folding my arms, He tried to calm himself. "You just looked so serious, I can't help it!" Kakashi said poking my cheeks, and I started blushing. "That's it! Goodbye Kakashi, see ya in a week!" I said standing up, and he grabbed me.
"Ok, I'm really sorry this time. I mean it Iruka, now sit back down!" He shouted pulling me, and I sighed. "Let go of me, Kakashi I don't have time for this!" I said yanking my shirt out of his hands, he started pouting. "Fine! I'll just stay right here then" He said folding his arms, and I laughed. "That's fine with me, see ya!" I said walking off, and he stood up. "No, ok I'm coming with you" He caught up with me, and sighed. "I don't see why you have to go, just for a vacation? Seems pointless if you don't know where your going" He said sighing again, obviously trying to get me to stay...
