Guy sensei stopped by to challenge his eternal rival, he walked into
Kakashi's flat and was going to propose a challenge when he saw Kakashi asleep mask less in a
chair with a little boy asleep on top of him, the boys head covering the usually masked part of
Kakashi's face. Guy tiptoed forward trying to get a look at Kakashi's face, but then Iruka shifted,
covering his face even more. Guy sighed, "Oh well another time perhaps", because as much as he
wanted to see Kakashi's face he didn't want to disturb the sleeping little boy. Guy left the apartment
as quietly as possible and after a few minutes Kakashi said, "Is he gone?" Iruka giggled "Yep!" they
did a high five before getting up. Kakashi popped his back, back into place, "See this is why man
invented he beds." he said aloud. Iruka stretched mimicking him, "So Daddy what are we gonna do
now?" Kakashi checked the time again it was now five thirty pm, "Well I could take you to the park
if you wanna go." Iruka's eyes shone "YES!" Kakashi pulled his mask back up, "Alright whirlwind
here we go." he sat Iruka on his shoulders and walked in the direction of the park. Iruka shifted,
"Daddy... I has another bad dream." Kakashi answered "What about?" "I dreamt that I was teaching
a bunch of big kids and that one was really loud with blonde hair, I think his name was
"Naruchi...Narutota...Naruto! That's it! Naruto Uzu something...." Kakashi placed him on the
ground, "Hey cheer up kiddo we're here." Iruka shot of in the direction of the swing whilst Kakashi
sat on a park bench thinking about reading." Sarutobi's voice interrupted his thoughts "Kakashi how
is he?" Kakashi turned his head to the right to find the third Hokage sitting by him. "He's ageing
quickly, possibly it's his body trying to get back to his original age." Sarutobi nodded, "And you?"
Kakashi looked at him "Me? What about me?" "Yes Kakashi how are you holding out with him?"
"He's a lively bundle of energy, but we're OK." "I see, Kakashi's there something I need to say to
you concerning Iruka.." "What about me?" Iruka was standing in front of them with a big grin and
innocent face and his hands behind his back, Kakashi knew that look it was the look 'I didn't do it
and you can't prove it.' Kakashi leaned forward and held out his hand, "Iruka hand it over." Iruka
smirked "Hand what over?" Then he started running away waving Sarutobi's pipe "You'll have to
catch me first!" Kakashi eye smiled at Sarutobi sheepishly, "Uh excuse me whilst I retrieve your
pipe." He started running after Iruka "Hey whirlwind come back!" "Your just to slow to catch me,
SLOW MO!" Sarutobi smiled with sadness as well as happiness as he watched the little game, Iruka
had been using a tree as cover to keep away from Kakashi walked up the tree. Iruka peered around
thinking he got away with it then Kakashi scooped him up "Busted!" Iruka protested as Kakashi
started a new tickle fight with him, then Iruka was sat on Kakashi's shoulders as they walked back
to Lord Hokage. Kakashi bounced Iruka slightly, Iruka sighed and held the pipe out to Sarutobi
"Sorry for taking your pipe without out asking Lord Hokage. I promise I won't take it again, today
anyway." Kakashi rolled his eye, Sarutobi accepted his pipe back, Iruka could you go and play a
little while longer whilst I speak to Kakashi." Iruka looked over Kakashi's hair into his eye, "Daddy
will you push me on the swing before we go?" Kakashi eye smiled "Of course I will." Iruka grinned
"OK then." he was sat on the ground and ran off to explore for a bit, Kakashi kept his eye on him so
he didn't disappear from sight. Sarutobi sighed "As I was saying Kakashi, about Iruka. The council
have decided that he should be placed in the care of an orphanage, or under a foster family's care
until he's back to his former self." Kakashi's voice raised slightly "What! Why?" "It has come to
that decision because your name is listed in the Bingo book making you a highly likely nin to be
attacked, that's why." "But what could enemies possibly gain from attacking Iruka." "Kakashi if
they believe he his is your son, it is a petty revenge gained." Kakashi stood up "I won't them do that
to Iruka!" Sarutobi sighed "Kakashi I know that Iruka is younger than you by a year, if he was his
actual age, but due to circumstances it seems your heart has accepted him as your own offspring In
just over twenty four hours no less. I'm sorry Kakashi it's out of my hands. As soon as the council
decide on a unanimous decision, they'll come for Iruka." Kakashi balled his fists up in anger,
"Great I only just get to enjoy having Iruka around, and then the council decide to take him away."
"Daddy! Come on you said you would push me on the swing!" "Well whatever time we have left I'll
make sure enjoys it." He turned his back to the Hokage, "Excuse me Lord Hokage I have to go."
Sarutobi watched sadder than ever as Kakashi walked over to the swing and half heartedly started
pushing Iruka who laughed anyway. After a few more moments the sun was setting, "Alright
whirlwind come on it's time to go home." Iruka whined but didn't run from being sat on Kakashi's
shoulders again."Daddy look!" Kakashi looked up at the sky there was shooting star In the sky,
"You seen it, you make a wish kiddo." Iruka said out loud, "I wish... that us two will stay together
forever." Kakashi felt a pang of sadness grip him, "Yeah, me too."They arrived back at his
apartment, "Iruka put your dirty clothes in the wash please, the childish "OK!" was a reply. Kakashi
walked into the bathroom just a Iruka was putting his shorts in the basket. Kakashi turned on the
bath water and added some bubbles into it, and the rubber duck. Iruka watched him curiously
"Daddy are you having a bath?" Kakashi closed the bathroom door, "Nope, you are." Iruka backed
up against the wall, "YOU CAN'T DO THIS!" Kakashi smiled "Can too." Iruka bit his finger when
he tried to pick him up, "Ouch was that necessary?" Iruka nodded, "I'll bite you again if you try
again." Kakashi pondered "How on earth do you get a stubborn kid to take a bath? I know!"
Kakashi crouched down to Iruka's eye level, "Will you take a bath if I take one with you?" Iruka
mulled it over, "OK." Kakashi nodded, he placed his dirty clothes in the bin and sat his mask and
forehead protector on the bathroom cabinet. Kakashi kept his left eye closed and sat in the deepest
end of the bath making sure the temperature wouldn't burn Iruka, Iruka stood by the bath eyeing up
the bubbles. "Well in you come." Kakashi lifted Iruka in and sat him at the opposite end of the bath,
Iruka seemed to cling to Kakashi's arms with a death grip. Once his bottom connected with the
bathtubs bottom though, he relaxed and let go. Iruka started playing with the bubbles burying the
duck under them, then blowing the bubbles away. Kakashi smiled at his antics, "Iruka turn around
so I can wash your hair for you." Iruka did so taking the duck with him, saying something about
'Duckzilla." Kakashi took care not to spill shampoo in his eyes as he washed his hair, when Kakashi
run the conditioner though Iruka piped up "Daddy is something wrong?" Kakashi rinsed out the
soap, "What makes you say that." "Because ever since you spoke to the old man you seem sad."
Kakashi paused then finished doing Iruka's hair, "OK you're all done, it's time for us to get out."
Iruka whined "Already!" "That's a change of tune, but yeah we've gotta get out now." Kakashi
stepped out wrapping a towel around his waist, then picked up the protesting Iruka wrapping him in
an over sized towel way to big for him.
