Hello again this is KakaRuka, very fluffy and you may have to squint a little bit to see the pairing but oh well I like romance.Sorry its so short i don't do pages and pages.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto and hopefully I never will cause then it would just be yaori and Kakashi and Iruka would get more screen time along with Kankuro(though not all at the same time) XP

Iruka sighed. Damn he just couldn't concentrate. Images of his favourite blonde being killed just kept cropping up in his head. He sighed again and rested his head on the table. Naruto had just gone on his first Anbu squad mission, a B rank.

"You know, your work wont do it's self if you're just going to lay there."

Iruka nearly swore. This was just what he needed. The famous, one and only copy ninja getting on his nerves.

"Kakashi-sama, please pick up a pen and a clean sheet of paper and re-write your mission report." He said; well ok tried to say he more or less ended up mumbling into his desk.

"Awww," whined Kakashi "But you haven't even looked!"

Iruka sighed for what seemed the hundredth time that day and lifted his head from his desk and, not looking at the Jounin, he started writing his report for himself.

"I don't need to look Kakashi-sama, you always hand in a report that no human being can read and even if they could it would make less sense than the reason why Jiraiya writes his stupid books," he repeated calmly.

Kakashi looked at him calmly. Normally he would object but right now something seemed wrong.

"You're worried about Naruto, aren't you." It was not a question.

Iruka paused in his writing but continued almost immediately.

"What would give you that idea Kakashi-sama?"

Kakashi walked over to the desk and placed a hand on the mans arm stopping him from writing.

"You let slip about Jiraiya, you must be worried you haven't said that one in awhile," he paused and then spoke more softly.

"I worry about him to, but I believe in him. He'll be fine, you'll see."

And with that grabbed a pen and a clean sheet of paper and set to work on his report at a spare desk.

Both men worked in silence for awhile before Iruka spoke first,

"Thank you,"

He spoke softly as if barely daring to break the silence that had built up between the two.

"Leave your report on you desk when you finish."

Still speaking softly he left the room.

Kakashi didn't move until the chuunin had left the room. When the younger man had shut the door he looked up and whispered just as softly as the other man had,

"You're welcome,"
