Chapter Four- I Cannot Believe I KISSED Him!

"Your coming with us after school right Kakashi?" Genma asked, it was a hour before the bell was to ring signaling the end of the school day. The two friends were leaned up against the lockers, staring at random people walking by. Genma had noticed how suspiciously quiet Kakashi had been, which wasn't really unusual, but then again…

Kakashi nodded his head. He didn't really feel like gracing his friend with a vocal response, besides his voice was light years away, trapped on the lips of the thirteen year old Umino Iruka. He clearly hadn't expected the boy to do that-hit him, yes, but kiss him. He closed his eyes. He felt like a molester or something, and the boy had come onto him. In it didn't help that he had actually enjoyed the feeling of the young boys soft lips against his own.

He's a little boy for crying out loud! There is no way I'm falling for him! Kakashi closed his eyes.

"Here you two are" came the sultry voice of Kurenai, another one of there childhood friends. And a girl that could kick anybody's ass male or female. Her boyfriend since birth was standing next to her, Asuma, smiling jovially-and with a face full of beard. Kurenai couldn't stand it at first, but then after awhile she found it quite endearing. She placed her hands on her hips. "Your not disappearing on us this time Kakashi, I don't care what sorry excuse you come up with-we're going to that club tonight, and we're going to get even"

Her eyes burned, making them all shrink back and away from her. Asuma laughed loudly, snagging Kurenai's waist and pulling her against his side. "So What's it's gonna be Kakashi, Kurenai is not going to take no for an answer" Kakashi pushed himself off the locker, and gave them a two finger wave. "I'll be there" he said and disappeared into the crowd of students that flooded the hallway.

Mizuki peaked into the lockeroom, Iruka didn't seem to want to come out. He stepped inside, "Iruka are you in here, class is over" He heard a gurgling sound and thinking that maybe Iruka was drowning himself he rushed to the back, to see that Iruka had his head in his locker-and from his point of view it looked like he was crying.

He walked over placing a comforting hand on Iruka's back. "Hey pal you alright?" Iruka pulled his head out the locker and looked at Mizuki without really looking at him. "Oh…I'm fine" He moved back and closed his eyes. "Was it Arashi, did he do this?" Iruka shook his head. He hadn't had one run in with Arashi, and he wanted to keep it that way, especially since he wasn't really in the mood to play his sick games.

Iruka pulled his hair back and tied it up.

"I just want to get home" Mizuki didn't really want to let the subject drop, but he knew that Iruka would elaborate when he was ready. "Alright" they walked out the lockeroom. Iruka followed at a more sedate pace. He just couldn't get him and Kakashi's encounter out of his head, what had he been thinking, kissing him like that? He felt like such a fool. Kakashi would probably spread it all around the school, just to humiliate him. But Iruka couldn't stop himself.

What Kakashi had said had hurt him, and in so many ways he wanted to prove the cocky Junior wrong. Prove that he was just as capable has anybody older than him, even more so. At that moment he felt satisfied taking Kakashi completely off guard. But after it was all said it done, he felt like a complete and utter idiot. Iruka didn't think he could ever face the older boy again.

Mizuki walked over and picked up both of there back packs, handing Iruka's his wordlessly. Iruka avoided direct eye contact, thanking Mizuki. They turned to walk out.

"There you two are, we at first thought the 'Snake Gang' had found you" came the distraught voice of Rin, her and Obito were running towards them. Mizuki smiled. "Nope! Lucky for them huh?" Rin didn't look amused. "Lucky for us, there really nasty when they want to be" They all then looked toward Iruka, who ignored it. Then Obito spoke up. "Hey how about we go to the burger place I'm starving!"

Mizuki and Rin seemed to agree, Iruka wanted to decline, but he didn't want his friends to worry even more. "That sounds like fun" Iruka said a flicker of his old smile lighting up his face. Obito and Rin smiled with him, Mizuki on the other hand didn't. He knew that something was bothering Iruka-and he was determined to find out just what that something was.

They then heard animalistic laughter coming from both sides of the gym, in front of them, and behind them. The four friends stiffened. "We got trouble, big time" Obito said, dropping his goggles over his eyes. Rin tied her hair back, and pressed herself further into Obito's side. Mizuki and Iruka did the same thing, the four friends were facing two sides. The side that Mizuki and Iruka was facing just happened to be the side Arashi was walking up from. Iruka felt his whole body tense, felt fear sweep threw his system. He didn't want to be scared, didn't want to feel like such a coward-but he couldn't help it. Arashi struck fear in him like no other person could, and it was that fear that forced him to concede in the end.

Arashi was clapping his hands condescendingly staring at Iruka with liquid black eyes. "Iruka I've finally caught up with you" Mizuki stood in front of Iruka. "Leave him along Arashi!" Mizuki growled. Arashi simply looked bored with him-he then snapped his fingers. His cronies moved forward. One tall lanky man grabbed Rin up around the waist-She screamed. Obito went to kick the dude, but was grabbed up around the head, and pulled away from her.

Mizuki was pulled forcefully away from Iruka, kicking and biting. Iruka felt tears well in his eyes. "Please leave my friends alone, I'll do anything!" This seemed to be what Arashi was waiting to hear, "Let them go-Iruka wants to play nice today"

"No!" Obito screamed, trying to kick away from the dude. Mizuki was in a rage, it took five guys just to hold him in place. Tears were falling from Rin's eyes. "You monster Arashi!" she cried, struggling in vain to get loose from the lanky man who was obviously stronger than he looked. Iruka hung his head in shame. He felt Arashi advancing on him, felt the distance that separated them getting smaller and smaller.

"Yo"

Iruka's head snapped up, and Arashi stopped mid-walk. His eyes turning into angry slits. "You again" He hissed. Kakashi simply looked bored, as he walked toward them. They made a path, Kakashi walked threw it-stopping next to Iruka. He looked at Arashi. "You disgust me" He said simply. Arashi looked beside himself. "How dare you! Do you have any idea who I am!" he spat.

Kakashi cocked an indifferent brow. "I have an idea-and unless you want me to report you, or kick your ass I think you and your friends better leave" and then he cracked his neck. "Although I'm not opposed to the ass kicking" Arashi seethed. He then beckoned to his friends and they swept out the gym. Obito ran over and made sure Rin was okay, Mizuki went over to Iruka. Kakashi just stood where he was making sure that the Arashi Gang were gone.

"You are so cool!" Obito exploded. He jumped in front of Kakashi making him stagger back. "I wish I was as cool as you man-I mean did you see how scared they were, and that neck cracking thing was awesome, and then the 'Although I'm not opposed to the ass kicking' that was sweet!" Kakashi smiled nervously. Rin grabbed his arm, and looked at Kakashi. "Thank-you" she said sincerely. He stared at her. "No problem"

She then looked at her friends, Mizuki had his arm around Iruka's shoulder. "Come on let's go" Obito waved happily back at Kakashi as Rin dragged him away-Mizuki walked off with Iruka not sparing Kakashi a look or a thanks. Kakashi stayed put watching Iruka be lead away. Then Iruka turned his head and looked at Kakashi from over his shoulder, there eyes locked. His eyes were so big and so brown, all his emotions laid bare.

Kakashi almost forgot how to breath.

The four friends sat at the 'Burger w/ a side of Fries' in a small booth in the back. Iruka next to Mizuki, and Rin and Obito seated next to each other. "That silvered haired guy is really cool, don't you guys think so?" Obito asked. Rin smiled. "He is pretty cool-handsome too" Obito didn't particularly like that statement. "Can we stop talking about that guy" Mizuki said, he put a fry in his mouth and chewed.

Iruka side glanced curiously at his friend. Obito and Rin looked at one another. A awkward silence descended over the four friends, only broken by the arrival of the waitress.

Iruka looked over at Mizuki who had been silent the whole walk to his house. Iruka felt nervous just being in his presence all of a sudden. "Alright, thanks for walking me home Mizuki" Iruka said, and reached for the doorknob. Mizuki grabbed his wrist halfway there-Mizuki turned him around a little to face him. "Iruka…" He said, his voice barely coming above a whisper. Green eyes locked with brown, "Yeah" Iruka said, his mouth suddenly felt very dry.

He's not going too…

Mizuki moved toward his face, Iruka just stood there eyes widened in disbelief at what his friend was about to do-but before Mizuki could reach his destination he stopped. "I'll see you tomorrow Iruka!" and with that he ran off-Iruka watched him disappear into the darkness, feeling sad, but at the same time feeling relief.
