A/N: Hey hey. Thanks to those who still follow my story despite my weird and unexpected hiatus.

Kakashi couldn't sit through the movie comfortably, not when he knew that the three demons from hell were on to him.

"Neh, Kakashi-sensei, you don't look too well." Naruto said.

"Ah, Naruto you're right, Kakashi-sensei do you have a fever?" Sasuke confirmed.

"Kakashi-sensei, you look really bad maybe you should go home and sleep it off..." the last demon quipped.

Kakashi now knew what was their plan! Amateurs the lot of them. "No, I'm fine, be the glow off the T.V, I have often been told it give me a sickly glow..." Kakashi looked to his right, at Iruka, to find the man looking at him slightly worried.

He sworn his heart started to beat faster. 'He cares! He cares about my health.' Kakashi mentally screamed and pumped his fists.

"Iruka-sensei, did you know that Kakashi-sensei carries around a little orange book. I think the name was 'Icha Icha Paradise?' Can you tell me what it is about, Kakashi-sensei said it's not for kids but how can a book not be for kids? Is it a complicated book? What do they mean by Adult books?" A too innocent Sasuke asked.

Kakashi was sending murderous looks to the boy avenger. Kakashi knew that Sasuke knew about the books and 'what do they mean by Adult books'. Kakashi took a quick look at the tanned man, it didn't seem like he was to impressed. As Kakashi was moving to defend himself someone cut him off.

"Ah, Sasuke I know what that book is about! One day Kakashi left his book on the park bench," 'That is a lie! I would never leave my precious Icha Icha novel like some worn out newspaper!' Kakashi wanted to say to say but then he would be admitting that he owned the books. Damn blocked at every turn. "Kakashi is really a giiiigantic pervert, the book talks about-"

"Uzumaki Naruto, Hurano Sakura, Uchiha Sasuke! In the kitchen, right now!" A sharp voice commanded.

Looking to his right Kakashi saw Iruka absolutely livid. There was a very good chance that Iruka would never want to see Kakashi ever again.

However to his surprise, Iruka followed the twelve year olds. Just as Iruka was about to step in the kitchen he turned around. "Sorry, Kakashi-sensei, I'll just give them a quick talk."

Kakashi was dumb founded. Why was Iruka giving a stern talking to the kids and not him? Was Iruka planning to tell the kids not to trust him or to get a new teacher? What the heck was going on?

So, like any good ninja, he decided to eavesdrop.

~~~0~~~

Iruka looked at the little miscreants in front of him, lined up as if they were in the academy again. "So does anyone want to tell me what is going on?"

There was silence. Iruka could see the sweat pouring down from nervousness.

"Well if you don't, Kakashi-sensei and I could easily write a report on how you guys should be put back in the academy..." Iruka knew that he could do no such thing, as there was the rule of 'once you graduate you can never go back,' but the kids didn't know that, and besides it could make them talk a lot faster.

"Sensei!" The three voices pleaded and from then on it was a jumble of phrases from each members of team seven.

"Okay! Stop, one at a time." Iruka shouted above the squabbling children.

It was instantly silent once again. Each child had guilty pleading looks of 'not me', yet it had to be done.

"Naruto can you please tell me what is going on? You guy have been acting really weird since the time I told you that Kakashi and I were watching movies tonight and after tonight's display it is obvious that you guys have plotted, 'what do they mean by Adult books?' honestly I wasn't born yesterday, by the time I was-" Seeing the looks he got from his ex-students Iruka cut himself off. "Th- that's not the point, anyways, could someone tell me what is going on?"

"Well... you see Kakashi is this huuuge pervert, everybody knows that, I mean constantly reading Icha Icha, has to be a dead give awa-"

"Naruto!" Iruka threatened.

"Ah! So anyways when we heard are watching movies, together in the middle of the night, it sounded... suspicious."

"Suspicious?" Iruka repeated with a raised eyebrow.

"Ahh~ like a date thing."

Iruka almost laughed, they thought the Sharingan Kakashi was romantically interested in him? A shy chuunin academy teacher?

"So you guys didn't even think that it could've been a 'just friends' thing, after all we are both guys, usually people don't jumped to conclusions like this about two guys."

"Normally we wouldn't too!" Sakura said. "However, there are factors that needs to be considered!"

"Ah." The low voice of Sasuke said in agreement.

"For example, whenever Kakashi-sensei treats us to lunch or dinner, it is always to Ichiraku's ramen! However, this is only after Naruto told him that it was your favourite restaurant."

"Kakashi got depressed after you had that fight with him in the discussion of the chuunin exams!"

"He always checks if there are any missions near the academy!"

"He always goes weird when we mention your name."

"He actually makes us do work whenever you come around and acts all teacherly!"

"Whenever we walk by the academy he sighs and looks longingly-"

"Okay okay!" Iruka yelled above the children and their 'evidence'. "Shush, and Sakura I think you have been reading too many romance novels, 'sighs and looks longingly?'"

"But it's true!" Sakura whined while her male team mates nodded.

"So let me try and figure this out. You three came to stop the 'evil' Kakashi sensei from acting out his romantic feeling towards me-"

"And to stop him from molesting you!" Quipped Sasuke (Sasuke of all people!)

"And to stop him from molesting me." Iruka confirmed while trying so hard not to laugh. "How brave of you three, my saviours."

Noticing the sarcasm Sasuke decided to make his point. "Stop patronising us. Well all know it is true, Kakashi sensei has a crush on you."

"Fine. Kakashi sensei has a mad crush on me, now can you three stop this madness?"

"IRUKA-SENSEI~" The three whined.

*Ding dong*

"That must be your parents Sakura, come on you three, off to Sakura's, hopefully your sleepover will cure you of insanity" Iruka teased.

~~~0~~~

Iruka flopped on the couch next to Kakashi. "Man, Haruno-san can really talk..."

In response Kakashi mindlessly nodded, collecting his thoughts on tonight.

"Sorry about Naruto, Sakura and Sasauke. You would never believe this, honestly sometimes they crack me up, anyways they seem to think that you have a hopeless crush on me." Iruka said with a chuckle.

"But I do."

"Eh?"
