From the moment Kakashi returned home, everything turned out not as he planned.

The mission was long enough to bore him. In addition, the jutsu he learned was annoying to the point he wanted to spit it out of his mind. He couldn't, though.

He couldn't forget it, he couldn't not try it, and once he activated it, he couldn't not see the dreams of the people he looked at.

Once the person came into his view, the visions appeared in front of Kakashi's inner gaze.

Mostly, those were harmless memories or activities. Some were imagination. Some were frightening. And for sure, Kakashi could live without Ibiki's or Anko's dreams! Just the minute of looking into each of them completely ruined Kakashi's sunny day.

The worst thing was that the jutsu, once it was activated, went on and on, on its own, so Kakashi had to wait until it wears off. Hokage said this kind of jutsu could last for several weeks, and ordered him to stay in the village and monitor the jutsu's functioning.

Kakashi had no problem with it.

Correction: he had no problem with it until yesterday, when he occasionally saw one particularly interesting dream.

Now he had a problem, because he wished he could see more. And not only see, if possible.

Therefore, it was rather chilly to sit outside, but Kakashi could manage it, because he was fuming inside. His nonchalant look and seemingly lazy position on the edge of the mission room's windowsill were hiding an unusual storm of emotions.

The reason for that was Umino Iruka.

Kakashi was freezing outside, while Umino Iruka was currently sitting inside the warm mission room, without fail smiling his annoying polite smile at every crazy shinobi in a row.

Once shinobi comes - Umino Iruka smiles, another shinobi comes - Umino Iruka smiles again, and the next shinobi comes - Umino Iruka smiles once more.

And smiles, and smiles, and smiles at them all!

Umino Iruka found smile for everyone, except for Kakashi.

So annoying!

Kakashi growled, and occasionally scared a genin team, which was coming out of the mission room with a fresh mission scroll in their proud team leader's hand. All four team members synchronously jumped to the opposite side of the road, dramatically changed direction in round turn, and froze in exactly by the book battle stances.

Not at all bad for a genin team. Amusing kids.

Kakashi raised his hand and said "Yo!"

"Kakashi-san!" The team leader happened to be Ebisu, who was famous for the fact he couldn't take a good joke. "What do you think you are doing, sitting there like that?"

Kakashi's uncovered eye slowly migrated from one team member's head to the other.

The girl dreamed about knitting toys with her dead grandmother.

The first boy dreamed about some technical project and was repeatedly drawing diagrams.

The second boy dreamed about a lot of ramen and surprisingly - activities with Naruto.

Ebisu's dream was dark and full of squirming and ropes. Kakashi thought he recognized the person he was with, even though they wore a weird butterfly-mask on their eyes. Besides, Kakashi had already seen a similar dream, but from the other's point of view. Then, it must be sort of real experience between the two of them.

Kakashi contemplated if he should report them, and decided to mind his own business.

Maybe later. After all, that was just boring stuff.

"You don't want to know what I am thinking, Ebisu-sensei," Kakashi glared at Ebisu, for him to quickly take a hint and go away. "Your mission awaits for you to complete it."

Ebisu straightened up, turned around and waved for the kids to join him.

"Good day to you, Kakashi-san."

Good day? Well, maybe yes.

Kakashi's thoughts immediately returned to Umino Iruka.

Among all dreams Kakashi saw during the previous day, Umino Iruka's was that particular piece of art he couldn't forget about.

Probably because Kakashi was the part of it.

And what part!

In that dream, Kakashi wore green clothes, but it wasn't a usual shinobi uniform, and not a training suit Gai preferred. It consisted of tight green jacket and tight green pants.

Also, Kakashi had high boots and a hat with a feather.

And a bow.

He thought he looked like an ancient hunter. Well, Kakashi was a hunter of a sort, but it was not the thing, which bothered him.

In the dream, Kakashi was that green hunter with a bow, and he hunted Umino Iruka, who wore a fluffy suit, with long tail and long ears, in color bright lilac.

Among all creatures he knew about, Kakashi never saw something similar to that. Meaning not Umino Iruka, but the beast the bright lilac fur could previously belong to.

Besides, Kakashi had no idea why someone would hunt something like that. Was the fur valuable? Alternatively, was it maybe for its meat?

Hunter Kakashi set a trap and hid behind the tree.

Umino Iruka, in that strange suit of fluffy creature, appeared in the clearing and immediately saw the tasty bait hunter Kakashi left under the tree.

Kakashi had no idea why a piece of black leather could be a tasty bait, but then again, there were enough strange things in this dream. And it was Umino Iruka's dream, after all. If he has a thing for black leather, so be it.

From his hiding place hunter Kakashi watched Umino Iruka move accurately and look around constantly. He was definitely afraid someone powerful would jump out of the bushes. Nevertheless, he couldn't help but come close to the tasty bait.

Kakashi rolled his eyes. What a silly creature this fluffy lilac Umino Iruka was! That, or was it possible he wished to be captured?

As soon as Umino Iruka grabbed the tasty bait with his fluffy paws, there was a change of scene.

Hunter Kakashi appeared to be in some sort of a wooden house, a hunter's house by the look of it.

His bow hung on the wall now, so maybe it was even his house.

Hunter Kakashi was topless, and on the huge table in front of him, there was Umino Iruka sitting, still clad in his bright lilac fluffy suit, but with his wrists bound by the rope on his chest.

Kakashi gulped. The scene was so tempting he wished he really could be this hunter Kakashi.

He heard the hunter Kakashi give out a humming sound and ask.

"What should I do with you, my naughty bunny?"

Umino Iruka showed his teeth and growled menacingly.

"I'm not a bunny, you brutal hunter!"

He looked so cute Kakashi wanted to jump him right that moment, but it was the hunter Kakashi of Umino Iruka's dream who had to play this role.

"Since I caught you, you are my," hunter Kakashi pointed and stepped closer. "You are my, and I can do whatever I want with you."

Umino Iruka whined.

"My paws hurt, untie me immediately!"

Kakashi wondered why he did that. Technically, he wasn't even bound up, by the look of that wretched and feeble rope. Kakashi knew well Umino Iruka was skillful enough to escape complicated traps, but here he was – sitting on this table and trembling slightly, as if he foretasted something, as if he couldn't wait for hunter Kakashi to do whatever he wished with him.

For sure, they both played a very strange game.

Hunter Kakashi definitely had a lot of wonderful ideas what he could do with Umino Iruka. His hand reached out and caressed the fluffy fur of the suit.

"Would you please show me, where is the zipper of this suit?" he suggested, using a very seductive whisper.

Umino Iruka fidgeted in his seat.

"What are you planning to do?"

Hunter Kakashi's skillful fingers began to explore the fur of the suit, systematically looking for the zipper.

Umino Iruka wiggled his body, purposefully worsening their contact.

Kakashi marveled if he knew what he was doing. Thanks to all this wriggling movements, Umino Iruka was literally rubbing his clothed in fur body against half-naked hunter Kakashi.

"Where is the zipper?" hunter Kakashi insisted.

"Not telling you," Umino Iruka moaned, arching.

Not stopping his manipulations in search for the zipper even for a second, hunter Kakashi snarled.

"You want to deny me the pleasure of skinning you?"

Umino Iruka made a weak effort to bite him.

They were playing that for quite a while, when hunter Kakashi finally found the zipper and tugged it.

Gracefully, the bright lilac fluffy coat slid down Umino Iruka's shoulders, revealing a lot of naked tanned skin.

Soon enough, Umino Iruka was completely naked, except for the leather skirt low on his hips.

Kakashi frowned, trying to understand how and when did that leather skirt, which actually was a tasty bait in the beginning of the dream, turn out wrapped around Umino Iruka's hips.

Dreams are amazing!

As soon as hunter Kakashi placed his hands on the tanned legs, another change of scene happened.

Umino Iruka, in nothing but his short leather skirt, was vigorously skipping on the huge bed of the hunter's house.

Hunter Kakashi, in explicitly tight light blue boxers, stood near the bed and watched him closely.

"You promised to be a good bunny if I untie you," he pointed in a strict voice, definitely losing patience, "so, come here right now."

However, Umino Iruka continued to perform skips; with his every leap, the skirt went flying up, revealing his tanned buttocks and enormously excited state.

"I like this bed, it's so much fun!"

"You'd better think about fun I'm going to have with you on this bed as soon as I catch you!" hunter Kakashi drawled in menacing tone, and finally stepped on the bed.

He caught Umino Iruka soon enough, mercilessly threw him face down on the sheets, and crawled on top of him.

The fun followed.

There was so much fun it took Kakashi several minutes to digest this dream.

And several more minutes to calm down his wildly beating heart and his burning in orgasmic foretaste body.

Just to think all that happened in Umino Iruka's head…

Kakashi sighed and rubbed his cheeks, which were burning under his mask because of the memory streak. Yes, it was rather chilly to sit outside, but with that memory Kakashi did manage it.

His Icha-Icha book was resting in his pocket, completely forgotten. He didn't want it anymore.

Instead, he wanted Umino Iruka with his alluring imaginary world.

He wished to be completely swallowed by it.

And he didn't want to ever come back.
