2nd A/N: hellu, I'm Lemonade co author of Pink. Since she is busy with collage I was given the task of monitoring and continuing her works since she had already finished the map. A few warnings 1st. if you think her grammar and spelling is bad, mine is MUCH worse! So read at your own risk. 2nd, I have a different writing style than her. I don't plan before writing a story and just type it as I go, so the ideas are most of the time jumbled T_T I'm not a very good writer I can assure you but I shall try my very best.
People seemed to disperse to give way to the very powerful and esteemed general Kakashi. His steeps were in a fast walk but never lacking grace and a sense of purpose. Everyone that saw him quickly assumed that he must have an urgent business with the king or a very important meeting the way he seemed to hurry along the halls.
Kakashi opened the double doors of his chambers and scanned the room. There he saw Iruka now, a young man wearing only his undergarments. He stopped in his tracks and swallowed. The years had been very kind to the once slave boy. He had grown and filled up in the right places but retained that slight feminine shape of his body. He had been in constant torture to not jump the boy.
The boy had been in many ordeals and he had promised himself that he shall be the boy's guardian and he will do everything he can to give Iruka the life that had been denied in his childhood. It was easy when the boy was young since the boy's age was a great hindrance and he simply could not imagine himself with a child.
Now, that same boy was now a young man, a very desirable young man that had even caused fights among the young nobles. He was running out of excuses for him not to be with Iruka in THAT way. Heck, he didn't even know if the younger man felt anything for him other than being his master.
No matter how much Kakashi insisted. Iruka refused to give up the 'master' title when calling to Kakashi. It really confused the general. Was Iruka merely being kind to him because he was his master or was it something more?
Iruka quickly turned to the sound and his eyes lit up as he saw his master. "Master Kakashi! You are here!" he squealed and hugged Kakashi's torso. Yes, he did grow but Kakashi still had a good 1 and ½ feet over Iruka. Even as years passed, Iruka's child like behavior did not disappear. Kakashi blamed it to Orochimaru as it seemed to cause a stunned in the developmental growth of Iruka. It was times like this that he was glad he killed the bastard.
"Iruka, what's the matter? You sent a message that you were in trouble. Is something the matter?"
Iruka was busy snuggling Kakashi's chest that he didn't hear his master's question. He liked Kakashi very much. His master had always been very warm.
Kakashi looked down at his charge and swallowed again. He could feel something stirring just below his waist. He coughed loudly and pushed the young man away and repeated the question.
"Oh?..." Iruka had to think for a minute before actually registering the question.
"Ahh!!! Yes master Kakashi! Come in the bedroom"
The young one dragged his master into their bedroom. Iruka didn't want to have a separate room from his master. At first they shared a bed but it did not bode well for Kakashi's sanity and had another bed brought in much to Iruka's dismay. The room was big enough and if that was what the master wants then so be it.
Dress clothes were scattered on Iruka's bed. "Master, I have a problem in choosing the clothes I shall wear for the banquet."
Kakashi sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "Iruka, you know better to call me here for such trivial matters!" the general hissed.
Iruka looked at his master tearfully and kneeled in front of him. "Forgive me master! I didn't mean to offend you, it's just that you said if I encounter trouble I should call you… forgive me! I deserve punishment"
Old habits die hard, Kakashi thought. He had once tried correcting this specific attitude but it seemed imprinted in the boy's skull that one day he just gave up. And the word punishment made his body shiver. His mind could supply different ways of 'punishment' he could do to Iruka. Damn it! He's hanging around with King Jiraiya too much.
He sighed and picked up the younger one and sat him on the bed. "I'm not angry Iruka, and yes I did say that though I think it's my own fault for not being specific."
Iruka looked at him with those big brown sad eyes. Kakashi had to look away and adjusted the way he sat. "Really Iruka I'm not angry okey?" then he gave the young one a smile.
Seeing his master smile Iruka beamed and embraced his master. "Master is so kind!"
Kakashi actually made an undignified squeak then tried to pull Iruka away. "Come on then, lets see what you can wear tonight at the party huh? I'll help you since I'm already here" The general stood up and Iruka followed.
The king had commemorated the defeat of Orochimaru by proclaiming that day a special day, that annually he would hold a party in commemoration. Of course Kakashi was obligated to come, so was his charge.
To everyone Iruka was Kakashi's apprentice. Kakashi told everyone that Iruka was an orphan because of the war. It also could explain why Iruka calls him master. Kakashi didn't want to tell anybody in fear for Iruka's life. Being the snake's weapon might cause harm to the boy even though it wasn't really Iruka's fault because he didn't know better.
He really didn't like parties and would rather spend that time training the soldiers or with Iruka but it was the king's order so he had no choice.
Time spent with Iruka was very precious to Kakashi. He had formally took over Iruka's lessons. He taught the boy how to write and read. Also, human ethics, politics and everything that Kakashi thought would benefit the boy. Thought it took a lot of explaining Iruka managed to understand bit s and prieces.
He choose a dress shirt that would bring out Iruka's eyes and told the boy to try it on. Iruka immediately started taking his clothes off. Kakashi blushed and quickly turned around. They had a long way to go in educating Iruka.
