Me: Might as well start on this since I have nothing else to do except home work And who wants to do that?
Iruka walked down the street as calmly as he always did. Or at least, that's what it would look like to anyone passing by. On the inside, he was like a little kid, jumping at every little noise. He didn't know what was so important about this scroll, but some one wanted it badly enough to go through the trouble of infiltrating the village and setting up an ambush for a very powerful ninja. If that was how important the thing was, then he didn't think he wanted to know what was contained inside it.
He smiled and waved as he was greeted by children and parents alike, wishing he had the time to stop by his apartment and make himself more presentable. But he didn't. He had to get the scroll to the hokage without meeting…
"Hello, Iruka-sensei!"
Iruka stopped dead in his tracks and turned slowly, as if that would make the owner of the voice disappear. It didn't of course, though Iruka saw no harm in hoping.
"Ahhhh. Yuki-san." He said coldly. Yuki gave him a hurt look.
"Ne, Iruka-sensei, are you still mad at me?" he practically whimpered. Iruka got the sneaking suspicion he was playing with him. "I'm really sorry." Iruka simply turned around and started to walk away. A strong, almost painful grip on his arm stopped him though.
"Iruuuuuuuukkkkaaaaa! Come on. I really am sorry! Let me buy you a drink." An odd smile crept across Yuki's face. "After all, it's not like you have anywhere to be right now. It's the weekend. No class." Iruka hesitated. He couldn't tell Yuki that he did indeed have somewhere to be. While he could lie and come up with some excuse, Yuki was smart and a jounin. And there was a weird vibe hanging in the air between them. Something about the look Yuki was giving Iruka gave him the creeps. He tried to pull away.
"I'm picking up some breakfast for the kids. They're still at the hospital and the food there is awful. Hatake-san hasn't woke up yet, and we're planning on staying until he does. I'm sorry, but I don't have time."
He tried to pull away again, but Yuki's grip only tightened until it was painful.
"I'll go with you!" the jounin said cheerfully, turning in the direction Iruka had been headed, but taking a road that led away from the hokage's tower. Iruka couldn't protest without tipping the other man off to what he was doing. So he followed. He would have to wait and see if he could lose the jounin in the crowd he knew would be in the market that morning.
Iruka decided that he would have to revise that plan, however, when Yuki tugged him down a road that lead to one of the lesser used gates instead, in the opposite direction of the market.
"Yu-Yuki-san, we're headed in the wrong direction." he said, trying to force the nervousness he was feeling out of his voice. He tried to pull away, digging his heels into the ground. Yuki simply tugged harder on his arm, causing Iruka to stumble after him.
"I saw you leaving the hospital this morning. I decided to pay Hatake-san a visit myself. It was strange. Every one was asleep." he turned to Iruka, that strange, creepy smile still in place. "Who knew the doctors in Konoha were the kind to lie down on the job."
Iruka felt his insides freeze. Yuki simply laughed , turning around and continuing toward the gate.
"I-I don't know why they would be asleep." Iruka croaked, though he had a very good idea as to why they could be asleep, and it was about to dislocate his shoulder. "They were fine when I left." Yuki laughed pleasantly.
"Of course, Kakashi and the kids were gone when I got up there." he added. Iruka didn't know whether or not to be worried or to sigh in relief. Deciding that he had run out of stalling time, he slowly slipped his hand towards the pouch of kunai he had still strapped to his leg.
"I wouldn't if I were you." Yuki's voice was still pleasant, but there was a sharp edge to it. Iruka didn't even pause. He plunged his hand into the pouch and tugged out one of the knives, holding it for close range combat. He swung it at the hand holding his arm, but before the sharpened tip could meet flesh, the world spun around him and he found himself pressed none to gently against a tree, kunai falling from his hand as a pressure point in his wrist was hit and both hands were pinned above his head. Damn jounin.
"I warned you." All pleasantness was gone from his voice. He leaned forward until his mouth was right next to Iruka's ear. "Now, why don't you be a good boy and hand over that scroll so that I don't have to take it from you the hard way?"
After Iruka Left the Hospital
Kakashi watched out the window as Iruka hurried down the street, hoping he hadn't put the chunnin in to much danger. If the young man got himself hurt, Kakashi vowed to rip the heads off of everyone responsible. Then he'd slit their throats.
He was about to turn his face away from the window when movement caught his eye. He knew who it was without seeing the face.
Kakashi closed his eyes and summoned all of the chakra he had regained overnight (which wasn't really very much) and pushed it into his muscles, affording him movement, if only for a short time. Standing, he dressed in record time, rousing the three children as he did. Naruto looked like he was about to raise a fuss, and even Sasuke looked like he was about to complain (not that Kakashi would have blamed them, knowing how they had slept all night) but Kakashi held a finger urgently to his lips. Making a series of hand signs he and his team had come up with a while previous, he motioned for them to leave the room via the window. They obeyed immediately, though he knew by their faces he had a lot of explaining to do.
Following them, he felt the intruders Chakra flood the building in a jutsu he recognized as one that could put massive amounts of people asleep at one time. He guessed Yuki had had trouble at the front desk. Pushing chakra into his legs he jumped up to the roof of a nearby building where the kids were waiting for him, motioning for them to follow, and headed for the forbidden forest, hoping Yuki would follow him instead of going after the chunnin.
Yuki's Point of View
Yuki looked out the open window, watching the four shadows disappear in the direction of the forbidden forest. Yuki smirked. How big of an idiot did Hatake take him for? If he had the scroll he would be headed for the Hokage tower. He must have given it to someone else. Of course, he didn't blame Hatake for not thinking his plan all the way through. He probably wouldn't be thinking very strait either if he had been the one on the receiving end of the beating he was sure Hatake had gotten.
So then who had he given the scroll to? Who had been with Kakashi that he would trust enough to with something that wasn't even supposed to exist?
Well, that was an easy question. And it made things soooooo much easier for him. He smirked and headed in the direction of the Hokage tower.
"Iruka-sensei…" He sang to himself "Stay where you are. I'm coming for you!"
Lets Call That A Flashback and Head Back to Present Time With Yuki and Iruka
"I don't know what you're talking about." Iruka snapped, jerking away from Yuki's lips as they grazed the shell of his ear. "Now let go!"
"I don't think so." Yuki said calmly, sliding one hand into Iruka's vest. "Now where did you hide it?"
Iruka growled and kicked, his knee missing it's target and coming into contact with Yuki's stomach instead. The jounin gasped, caught by surprise. He had overlooked that.
Taking advantage of that, Iruka yanked his hands away, grabbing again for his kunai. Feeling his hand close around the cool metal he yanked it up, stabbing outward as he did. Yuki saw what he was doing and moved to the side in time for the knife to catch him in the shoulder instead of the chest where Iruka had been aiming. Taking the opportunity, Iruka dodged in the opposite direction and ran.
Yuki was a jounin, a rank above him, and Iruka was no match for him in a hand to hand fight. His best bet was to get tot the Hokage's tower as quickly as possible. He had to get the scroll there where it would be safe.
With Kakashi and team seven
Kakashi knew something was wrong when he sensed Yuki's chakra headed in the wrong direction. He did an about face and followed it.
"Kakashi-sensei! What's going on?" Naruto demanded. Kakashi really didn't think he had the time or the energy to explain, but he also knew the dangers of going on any mission without the proper debriefing.
"Yuki is a spy for the two wave nin's that attacked me the other night. They want the scroll I was carrying. I gave it to Iruka to give to the Hokage. Yuki must have figured that out."
What!" Naruto screeched, speeding up "You drug Iruka-sensei into this! Why didn't you wake one of us up!"
"Explanations later!" Kakashi snapped, sensing a flare of both Iruka's and Yuki's chakra off to the side near the eastern gate. He could feel his muscles starting to protest, the small amount of chakra he had gathered starting to run low as he pushed more and more of it into his limbs, making himself go faster and faster.
"Hang in there Iruka, please!" he thought."I'm coming with reinforcements!"
Me: This one is shorter, sorry. I had so many scenarios running through my head I just had to type
