A/N: Ahh... weelll you see the reason why I didn't update was.... Ah screw it, there was no real reason just laziness. Forgive me!

It was 7:59 pm on a Saturday night and Kakashi was outside of Iruka's apartment and had under his arm 10 Studio Ghibli movies in which he and Iruka could watch.

Kakashi exhaled, this was the first time that they were alone together. He was so nervous that he was at Iruka's apartment on time. What if Iruka found him weird or boring? What if they ran out of things to talk about? Worse yet, what if Iruka forgot they had made plans together? Various scenarios played out in his head each ending with Iruka avoiding him in the near future.

'Get a grip, you are the Copy Ninja, Sharingan Kakashi!' Things will be fine, he just needed more confidence. With that he went to turn the door knob, only to be stopped by the sound of loud voices coming from behind him.

"Ah."

"It's Kakashi-sensei."

"He is actually here on time!"

Questions began forming in Kakashi's head. What were his genin students doing here? Did that mean that Iruka actually forgot about their 'date'? Why were his genin students looking at him like he was crazed?

Kakashi leaned back against the door, as much as he was fond of team7, he was beginning to think that they were his tormentors from hell.

"Kakashi-sensei, ready for the Ghibli marathon?" Sakura asked.

"It was so nice of Iruka-sensei to invite us." Quipped Naruto.

"Dobe, you invited yourself, how rude."Sasuke muttered.

A look of agitation was seen on Naruto's face. "What did you say, teme?"

Before Kakashi could calm down Naruto, the door opened and Kakashi fell, it did hurt but it wasn't from hitting the hard cold surface of a floor. He fell on something solid and warm.

"Owww." He heard of a voice from beneath him.

Kakashi got up immediately, "mahhh... sorry sensei." He appologised to the Academy teacher who still sprawled on the floor.

"It's okay." Iruka said slowly getting up. "Anyways come in, I got lollies, snacks and of course pop-corn. All we need to do is to pick a movie."

Soon enough they were sitting down and watching My Neighbour Totoro. Sasuke and Sakura were sitting on bean bags, Iruka and Kakashi were sitting on the couch, this would have been the ideal situation if not for Naruto in the middle of the two of them.

Despite an extra bean bag right beside Sakura, on whom Naruto declared he had a crush on, he chose to sit in between Iruka and himself. This was beyond annoying and suspicious.

Paranoia started to set in Kakashi's mind. What if Naruto found out about Kakashi's crush for the little Chunin and was purposely trying to separate them? Kakashi looked in Naruto's direction and then scolded himself for thinking that Naruto could be anyway shape or form subtle.

He then felt something cold in the pit of his stomach this feeling was usually reserved for glares from an enemy. He turned only to find Sasuke looking at him. Except looking wouldn't be the right word, this was a cold stare with an additional, never seen before, 'don't even think about it' look.

Kakashi mentally shook himself out of it, why Sasuke would Sasuke want to stop him from starting to date Iruka- sensei? Besides Sasuke was never the type to plot and meddle in other people's affairs.

It was then that Kakashi felt a familiar shiver, this was the shiver of being in the middle of a plot, he turned to where he instinctively felt he should turn.

He was greeted with a small smile from Sakura, this was no ordinary smile however. It was the smile of doom, the one that says, I know something that you don't and I will use this against you. He has seen this smile a thousand times.

Sakura turned her attention back to the screen however the aura still radiated from her.

Actually the feeling from the Sasuke was washing a wave over him. The only one where he wasn't subject of evil waves and auras was Naruto, intently watching the screen.

"Iruka-sensei we're out of pop-corn can you make more?" Naruto whined.

As Iruka moved pause the movie and to make more of the pop-corn Sakura looked to Naruto."Naruto, you ate all the pop-corn?" She complained.

"Sakura-chan you said you didn't want any." Naruto said in an attempt to get back into Sakura's good books. Of course this didn't work.

"What about Sasuke? Didn't you think he would want some? You are so stupid!" Sakura yelled.

Kakashi gave a mental sigh, how could he think that these twelve year olds could come up with something subtle and as intricate as trying to stop Kakashi from dating Iruka sensei.

"Mah, Mah, don't worry Iruka is going to get more pop-corn."

"Neh, sensei, why were you here on time?" Naruto asked innocently.

"Eh? Why shouldn't I?"

"How did the situation arise that you and Iruka were going to watch movies, tonight... alone?" Came Sasuke's too-low-for-a-twelve-year-old voice.

"Ah~ you see we were having lunch with a couple of friends and the topic came up." Well it was the truth if you cut out 60% of their time drunk and him in Iruka sleeping in Iruka's home.

"Sensei why did you lie to us when we asked you why you had to cancel our regular night training?" Sakura asked in her honey sweet voice.

Crap, they were on to him, he knew there was a good reason why one half of team 7 was giving him funny looks that night.

"Okay, popcorn's ready!"

Kakashi decided then that Iruka was an angel.
