Perfect Failure CHAPTER 3:

Every time Kakashi wanted to speak to Iruka, Iruka suddenly had to go somewhere.

"Iruka? Can I talk to you for a second?" Kakashi asked.

"Ehm I'm sorry Kakashi but I got to go to the mission room or lady Tsunade will kill me!" and Iruka was gone.

"Thank you, now you're really going to far…" and Kakashi walked away, defeated and hurt.

The next morning at the memorial stone Kakashi asked explained everything to his dead friends.

"Obito do you understand it? I've seriously got no clue why he's acting this way. Could it be that it was wrong for me to take him home and look after him? It was just because he's a friend. Friends do that kind of things for each other right? Oh god I'm really not good at this emotion stuff." Kakashi sighed.

"And you're not helping either Obito. I'll better get to the Hokage, she said she has got a mission for me. A two man's mission…" Kakashi stood up, did a last bow to the stone and walked away.

"Hokage-sama you wanted to…" Iruka was also in the mission room "… see me?"

"Yes Kakashi. You're going on a mission and you're taking Iruka with you."

"What?" Iruka and Kakashi asked at the same time.

"Yes something wrong with it?" The Hokage didn't wait for an answer.

"You're going on a retrieval mission. Kakashi you as jounin are the captain of course. In this scroll is all the information you need. Dismissed!"

"But Hokage-sama! Why me? I'm a teacher!" Iruka asked the Hokage.

"No but's Iruka… You are on the mission and THAT'S IT!"

"Hokage-sama?" Kakashi asked.

"OUT!" The two left the room as fast they could before they would get a chair or desk thrown at them.

"Iruka?"

"Yes Kakashi-sensei?"

"Leave the sensei." Kakashi Sighed. "Now that we're going on a mission I want this settled. We're friends. And friends don't fight. We need to be able to trust each other on this mission. And if you don't want to talk about it just tell me alright? I'd appreciate it that you tell me the truth. And if you don't want to come with me on this mission, fine! I'll just go alone." Kakashi turned around and wanted to walk away but Iruka grabbed his arm.

"No don't walk away like that!" Iruka said with an angry face. " First of all, I do trust you, second I'll tell you the truth… I'm going with you on this mission! But if we fail you'll have to admit that I was right! And you were wrong!" After realizing he almost yelled that last line at Kakashi he blushed a bit. " Ehm… sorry."

"No no its alright. Why not make a little game?"

"Hmm… Oke?" Iruka blinked

"If I retrieve the scroll before you do then you'll have to do something for me, If you retrieve the scroll first the I'll do something for you…Oh and I wont use my Sharingan on this mission to make it even."

Iruka liked the idea although he wasn't sure about the agreement. "And with doing something for me you'll do everything I ask?"

Kakashi nodded.

"Oke, I'm in."

"Ok lets meet at the gate in 1 hour."

"Ok!" Iruka nodded.

1 and a half hour later.

"Kakashi you really are ALWAYS late!"

"Here read it then we're off." Kakashi threw the scroll to Iruka.

"Ok, to the land of waves we go!" and they we're gone.

The next day they reached the county border.

"Lets split from here shall we?" Kakashi said.

"Ok but where do we meet if one of us retrieved the scroll?"

"Don't worry about that, If you got it first I'll find you, and otherwise I'll find you too."

"Good luck Kakashi." Iruka smiled warmly at the Jounin.

"You to Iruka." Iruka could see the smile through the Jounin's mask.

The 2 man looked at each other for a last time before they went their own separate ways.

************************************************Iruka************************************************

"I have to make sure that I get there first! I've got a pretty nice job for Kakashi if he looses. Just take care Kakashi don't get into something you can't handle." Iruka thought.

He jumped from tree to tree as fast as he could. There was no precise place where the scroll could be so Iruka went to the place that he thought the scroll could be. On his way he saw some forest animals like dears and foxes.

Iruka thought it was nice to be alone for some time, he had things to think about.

He was friends with Kakashi. Just friends right? He was good looking though. Iruka blinked. Realizing what he just said. No that wasn't real it was just because he was a bit sleepy. "Just friends." He said out loud. And Kakashi thought of him the same way. He knew that for sure because Kakashi told him that yesterday.

Suddenly Iruka stopped moving and held completely still.

He could hear a dog's bark, it wasn't that far away. Probably one of Kakashi's dogs. But still there was something wrong.

He had the feeling someone was near. He looked around and spotted a Hunting-nin down on the ground.

Looking at him…

Iruka couldn't move. The Hunter-nin suddenly vanquished.

Iruka took a deep shaky breath. "I'm safe, thank god. Although most times they don't attack other ninja's"

"Are you sure?" A deep voice behind him asked.

*********************************************Kakashi*********************************************

"I have to get the scroll first, cuz then I'll let Iruka do something funny… I just hope he'll be alright"

Kakashi did some quick seals and summoned his Nin-dogs.

"Yo Kakashi, what can we do for you?" Pakkun asked.

"I need you to search the area to the north and east for suspicious looking people. I've got to get there first so hurry!"

"Ok we get it." All the dogs disappeared but Pakkun still sat on the ground in front of Kakashi. Kakashi raised an eyebrow.

"First? Before who do you have to get there?" Pakkun asked.

"Iruka… Go Pakkun!" Kakashi reacted irritated.

"Iruka? Why are you on." Pakkun started.

"GO!"

"Yea yea, I'm gone already!"

"I can still see you…" Kakashi chuckled.

"Oh now we're mister Funny Guy?" Pakkun dodged a kick aimed for his ass and disappeared.

"Gah, dogs! Sometimes…" Kakashi sighed.

Kakashi waited for a moment, then he heard one of his dogs, far away but hard enough for Kakashi to hear it.

He moved as fast as possible. If he would find the scroll they had to retrieve now he could find Iruka and go home. "Then Iruka would be safe." Blink, he didn't understand why he wanted Iruka to be safe so badly. It'll probably be because I'm the team captain and I've got to look after him.

I thought this would be a nice ending for this chapter, and I'll continue this little game in the next chap. =3
