Okay, this is my first fanfic ever. I am mostly a critic and give advice and writing tips to aspiring writers. This fic is about Iruka-sensei's feelings toward his "son" (Naruto) and how he deals with the stress of looking after him. Yaoi warning(but only slightly)! Any way, just tell me what you think when you're finished reading. Oh and this will probably be a one- shot 'cuz I'm lazy and don't normally feel very motivated to write. (Of course, the cause for my sudden interest in writing might be the seven cans of coke I just drank...ow...my heart's gonna explode...explodey heart.)So without further ado I give you my fanfic! yay! XD
Always Watching
by Torahamutarochan
I'm always watching, always there. I'm constantly worrying about you when you're away on a mission or simply training in a nearby field. Kakashi-sensei gets upset each time I ask how you are. He feels that you are no longer my responsibility, that I should just concentrate on training my current students and leave your training to him. He tries to tell me to move on and forget, but I just can't. I can't forget all the laughter, the tears, the pain, the love. I can't stop watching you or thinking about you in the back of my mind. Even if my mind forgets you, my heart never would, or could for that matter. You see, you have become such a large part of my life. Your face is etched into my soul. Every hair on your head, every dimple in your smile, every new scar on your body I know about and see.
I feel you when you move. I know when you go out after dark. It's like a sixth sense that I've developed over my years of looking after you. I worry when you leave your apartment late at night. Worry for your safety. But I can't stop you. I have no real authority over you. I can't use me being your teacher as an excuse any more because I am no longer your teacher. And I am not your father no matter how much I long to be. I see the way you look at Kakashi and Guy-sensei, how much you look up to and admire them and I wish that it could be me. I want you to look at me in that way. Look at me with that deep respect in your eyes and that wide toothy grin on your face.
I want you to love me. I don't care if other people think it's wrong. I want the fire of the nine tailed fox to burn with the passion you feel for me. Let it burn straight through your heart and soul! Let it envelop your very being and set you free! Let it give you hope. Hope that I don't have, that you won't give me or let me have. For now, at least let me watch you from a distance. Until the day when both our dreams are realized, "Good luck my son, my Naruto..."
Sooooooooooo...whaddid ya think? Let me know will ya! I could use some positive feed back(or negative, if you didn't like it, either way I'm cool with it ). By the way, I'm sorry it was so short. Maybe I should have double spaced it...? I promise to make my next fic longer okay? Well, the new episode of Inu-Yasha is on in ten minutes on ADULT SWIM. I just hope that tonight's episode is better that last weeks. sigh --'
