Chapter 5: I'm Fine

000000000000

Kiba wailed in laughter as he looked at his two dorm mates standing in the hallway in front of their dorm holding two buckets of water to a person. They both looked like they had been standing out there all night. There had been an uproar last night at around 3 in the morning when a scream woke up the whole building, an announcement followed directly after by Kakashi saying it all under control so the building pretty much returned to its slumber.

But waking up to the sight of Naruto and Sasuke holding pales of water outside in the hallway, both of them having only barely enough energy to glare at each other.

"Shut it Kiba." Naruto growled as his arms ached.

"Oh! No, no, no! Not after you teased me relentlessly teased me for almost drowning myself." Kiba wagged his finger in front of Naruto's face like a mother would shake her hand in front of her disobedient child. "What were you and Sasuke doing up so late anyway?"

"Who cares?" A stern voice interrupted Kiba's laughter causing it so cease.

Shino before he eyed the two then continued his walk towards classes.

"You better get going too, you brats!" Kakashi's disdain was not hidden as he glared at the two trouble makers.

Naruto and Sasuke put down their buckets and while rubbing their arms made their way into the dorm to get ready for class.

Iruka turned over in his bed as he glared at the sun that was glaring into his eyes. He flipped over to glance at the other side of the room to see the empty bed and empty dresser that he had pushed against the wall when he was told he would not have a room mate this year.

"Iruka?" There was a soft tap at his door making him moan in acknowledgement earning a laugh from the intruder, "Classes started an hour ago, why are you not there?"

At that Iruka literally flew out of bed and threw his door open to reveal a reluctantly smirking Yamato.

"What?" Iruka yelled before suddenly feeling really dizzy.

Yamato placed a hand on Iruka's shoulder and sighed as he made sure the teen was steady before loosening his grip. Iruka blinked his eyes slowly before gazing up at the older teen with a questioning look.

"You had a really bad fever last night." Yamato smiled, "When you didn't wake up to that loud scream….siren…whatever it was, I got Gaara to check on you and he said you were sick."

Iruka flinched a bit at the information that Gaara had been in his room.

"I gave you some medicine but Tsunade-sensei told me that if you didn't get better in a few hours to bring you to her, I'm glad you woke up."

"Me too."

They stared at each other for a moment before Iruka realized he was missing class. He went back to throwing a sweater over his body, shivering slightly even though it was September. He went to grab his back pack blinking his eyes trying to force the hazy image of the world out of his eyes before he felt Yamato take the bag from him.

"Let's go to the nurse, I already called the office and told them you were sick so you will be excused, whether you go or not…" The tall teen started.

"But I don't want to miss anymore classes." Iruka grabbed a rubber band from the desk and pulled his hair back into a ponytail. "I promise to go to the nurse after classes."

Yamato gave him a weary glance.

"I promise! See I'm okay!" Iruka smiled and gave Yamato a thumbs up before coughing a bit. "I swear I will go straight to the nurse if I feel any worse."

"Fine but if I get in trouble for not making you go straight to the nurse then…."

"I'll make dinner for a week or clean your room whatever!" Iruka grabbed his back pack out of Yamato's hands and smiled before running out of the dorm.

He was already as late as it was.

Iruka ran down the stairs from the second floor and smiled as he walked into the warm breeze, September had been peculiarly hot the year like a late july but Iruka loved the feeling of it against his cool skin. Maybe he still had a fever but he really did not want to miss any school. He had worked his behind off all last year to be able to afford this school and he was not going to waste it in order to have a sick day.

Yamato was a pretty cool senior in Iruka's mind. The dark haired man seemed to have some strange relationship with Kakashi that Iruka couldn't understand. Yamato seemed to both contemptuous and respectful towards the silver haired man and Iruka hadn't bothered to ask about their understanding.

After all Iruka wanted to have as little as possible to do with the man.

Iruka had four other dorm mates whom seemed to have different circumstances. Gaara was a freshman who didn't talk very much and his older brother Kankuro seemed to be the only one didn't mind the kid and so they roomed together. There was a brat named Konohamaru who seemed to be getting home schooled here since Konoha high was only a private high school. Then there was Genma who shared a room with Konohamaru, the blond was constantly chewing on a stalk of grain and seemed to be up something.

Iruka didn't know his story but was sure he didn't want to.

They had been a weird group and Iruka was told he was with them since all of the other sophomore dorms were full from last years freshmen. Mizuki and Ebisu were lucky enough to be roommates….though Iruka wasn't sure they were too lucky.

After all Gai was there dorm head.

Iruka wiped the sweat from his forehead as he gently knocked on the classroom door.

He wasn't stupid enough enter Orochimaru's classroom half an hour late with out trying his best to be polite first.

"Oh Iruka, I was told you were sick today." Kabuto gave Iruka a friendly smile before opening the door and letting the young teen in. "Today we are just finishing up the lab reports since Orochimaru is at a conference."

Iruka nodded trying to swallow the uneasy feeling in his stomach as he made his way to his chair. He took a deep breath and slid his seat so that he could look at Kakashi's desk, they were lab partners after all.

"You look terrible." Kakashi smirked at the glare he received, "Oh well, now that you're here you can help me finish this and I wont have to go to your dorm to fill you in on the homework."

"Thank you for caring." Iruka grabbed his notepad from the last class and placed it at the top of Kakashi's desk and they compared notes while writing down their own notes for the paper that would be due next class on this lab.

Iruka clenched his jaw and looked up at the clock. He had only been in the classroom for 10 minutes and yet if felt like hours. He tapped the edge of his pencil on the paper impatiently and ran his hand through his hair before glancing back at the clock.

Kakashi eyed Iruka watching how the normally calm kid seemed to be unable to sit still. How the young teen who spent most of his time trying to avoid Kakashi seemed to have forgotten the older teen altogether.

"Iruka?" Iruka turned quickly towards Kakashi ignoring the snapping sound in his neck.

That hurt.

"Sorry were you saying something?" Iruka snapped before glancing at the clock again. He wasn't even going to make it for 30 minutes was he?

Kakashi turned over to Gai and Asuma who were looking at Iruka curiously. It seemed that majority of the class had noticed Iruka's stange behavior.

"Iruka are you okay?" The kind voice of Kabuto cause Iruka to jump a bit before he smiled at the assistant teacher.

"I'm fine!" Iruka said in a overly convincing of a tone.

Kabuto eyed the teen but just sighed as he looked over at the other students who seemed to be wanting the assistant teacher to do more because there was something obviously wrong with the teen.

"Iruka…are you sure.."

"I'M FINE!" Iruka yelled as he slammed his hands on Kakashi's desk then seeming to realize he had just yelled at Kabuto looked at the older man with worry. "Ah…I'm so sorry Kabuto…I was..I'm sorry, I'm fine."

Kabuto just nodded before he turned back to the other students and gave them a look that forced them back to their work.

"Fine….." Iruka felt his world turn to the left as he tried to steady himself.

Kakashi eyed the young teen.

"Fine…" Iruka took a deep breath as he felt the floor disappear underneath him.

"I'm fine."

And suddenly he didn't feel anymore.

Naruto held his nose in the air as he pinched it as tight as he could. "Uh thank che bwoke ma nose!"

"Naruto go to my office and Sasuke you better go too!" Tsunade, the curvy, blond health teacher yelled before she looked at her other students. "I said keep playing you ingrates! I might be the nurse but I am the P.E. teacher first, I will check on those two once you guys can play a decent game of soccer!"

"But Naruto just broke his nose and Sasuke might have a scar on his beautiful face!" A pink haired girl cried from the field.

"Don't make me shove that ball up your.."

"Tsunade, I'll watch the kids, you go check on the students." Shizune the other coach at the school cut the blond off with a smile.

Naruto growled as he tried to watch where he was going while trying to stop the blood that was flowing out of his nose. He heard Sasuke say something causing him to turn around towards he room mate and point a finger at the affronting jerk.

"Whaa dud ew bake muh nose!!" Naruto pointed his finger again trying to seem more angry then comical.

"I'm sorry, but for the last time I don't speak idiot." Sasuke sighed with a smirk enjoying how red Naruto's face got.

"Both of you brats shut up and go to my office! I have to got get some stuff and I will be there in a bit…you better not mess with anything otherwise I will kill you." Tsunade pointed to her office and both boys went that direction in silence.

Sliding open the door to the nurse's office Naruto sighed as he made his way to the sink and washed his face.

Sasuke just rolled his eyes at the blond and looked around the room. There appeared to be a small office connected to it from the inside that was full of files and cabinets and a very messy desk while the room they were in had about six sick beds and a bench for students to sit in.

Naruto wiped his face with the paper towels neck to the sink and looked in the mirror to see that the bleeding had stopped and his nose while a little swollen, didn't look broken at all.

"My nose isn't broken, you better be happy!" Naruto stuck his tongue out at Sasuke as he flopped on the closest bed to him.

"Personally I thought it would be an improvement." Sasuke stated coolly as he sat down at the foot of the bed Naruto had sprawled out on.

"I'm soooo tired!" Naruto sobbed into his pillow completely ignoring Sasuke's comment.

"If you hadn't screamed so loud and angered Kakashi further we probably would have just gotten a warning or had to clean the restrooms on the floor or something…" Sasuke sighed as he glanced out the window.

There was some loud talking in the hallway that caused both boys to look at the door but when nothing happened; they settled back into their silence.

"How is your arm doing?" Naruto muffled into the pillow causing Sasuke to look at the idiot as if he had just spoken a foreign language.

"What was that?"

"I ASK how YOUR arm was doing?" Naruto turned around and glared at Sasuke as if he had just been forced to say something disgusting. "You cut it the other day on the tree didn't you?"

Sasuke blink at Naruto with a frown then turned to look at his arm but there was no sign of the scratch that had been there a few days ago. It had only been a light scratch, Sasuke hadn't even known that Naruto noticed.

"It was just a little scratch. Sasuke turned to see how pink Naruto's face had gotten and smirk.

He was such a dobe.

"EXCUSE ME!" The door slammed open to reveal a very panicked Kakashi holding an unconscious form in his arm. "HAG?"

"What did you do to Iruka?" Naruto hopped out of his bed and glared at Kakashi.

"SHUT UP! Where's the hag?" Kakashi glared back causing Naruto to step back.

"She should be back any minute." Sasuke stated before looking at Kakashi with a bored expression. "Don't you think you should put him on a bed?"

Kakashi seemed to have not even thought of it as he stood upright before looking at the dead weight in his arms. Being as careful as possible he placed Iruka on the empty bed next to the one Sasuke was sitting in.

Silence fell on the room before Kakashi looked at his two residents.

"What are you doing here?" His voice didn't show any emotion, which freaked Naruto out a bit as Kakashi had just been screaming a few seconds ago.

"Naruto broke his nose and I got cut." Sasuke pointed to his slightly bleeding cheek and then to Naruto's nose.

"What did you do to Iruka?" Naruto didn't hide his accusing tone.

"How do you even know Iruka?" Kakashi glared back at the smaller blond.

"He let me eat with him at lunch!" Naruto declared still looking at Kakashi as if both of the senior's hands were painted red.

"I didn't do anything to him, he just passed out." Kakashi looked back at the smaller figure that appeared to be sleeping.

But the silver haired teen knew better than to be fooled by the appearance of sleep. Sleep and death look too similar. At the mere thought Kakashi tensed and felt like he was going to be sick.

"Kakashi brought him in here!" Asuma's voice echoed through the hall before Tsunade walk into the infirmary going straight towards the brunette being followed by Asuma and Gai.

Tsunade starting inspecting the young teen as Gai pulled Kakashi away from the bed.

"Are you okay/" The bowl haired teen looked at Kakashi with nothing but worry as his friend stared paled face at the bed.

"I'm fine but…but Obito…" Kakashi felt his stomach lurch and turned to the nearest trash can and vomited. Asuma and Gai exchanged glances before standing by their friend not saying anything.

Naruto opened his mouth to say something before Sasuke elbowed him. The dark haired teen glared at Naruto and motioned towards the door hinting they should leave.

Naruto was reluctant to go but sighed as he mumbled his dismissal and left.
