Is anybody reading this anyway? =3

Anyway enjoy chapter 8! sorry for some bad spelling sometimes. I should really read this a few times before posting....


The next morning Iruka woke up it was still raining. He closed his eyes again but realized there was something missing.
"Kakashi!" Iruka sat up in the bed.
"Damn him, he should have stayed in…" Kakashi's head peeked around the half open door.

"Oi sleepyhead, I made breakfast c'mon." Kakashi waved, the Chuunin followed him.
"Kakashi you know you're supposed to be in bed." Iruka said to the man's back.
"Yea, I know, but I don't care. Nobody does so what's the point." He said still with his back towards Iruka.

There was a painful moment of silence when they ate breakfast.
"I….I care." Iruka mumbled when his plate was empty.
"Nobody cares, so you don't have to pretend you do…" Kakashi said while standing up and walking to the kitchen.
"Kakashi…" Iruka walked after the Jounin.
"I don't care anymore so no problem… I can live with it… I'm totally fine, you see?"He turned to Iruka and smiled. Iruka could see him smile under his mask but it didn't reach his eyes.
"Kakashi… you don't have to…" Iruka reached his hand to the still smiling face.
"You don't have to fake…" Iruka said but didn't continuo when Kakashi grabbed his wrist when he almost touched his face.
"Don't… just don't touch me…" He smiled and tried to make it as real as possible.

"Kakashi…" Iruka stepped closer and the Jounin visibly flinched when Iruka laid his other hand on Kakashi's chest.
"I know you longer then today…" His hand moved up towards his face. Kakashi wanted to grab Iruka's wrist but the Chuunin was prepared for that and almost knee'd Kakashi. He had to stop Iruka's knee with his hand.
"And I know you don't let anybody see you're face…" His hand stopped before reaching Kakashi's throat.

"Why?"
"To make me mysterious." Kakashi tried.
"Wrong answer." Iruka moved his hand up a bit. Kakashi froze.

"Why?" Iruka asked again.
"Oke…Because I have a bad breath."
"Hah! Wrong." Iruka's hand moved up again. He was touching the Jounin's chin. Kakashi couldn't let go of Iruka's knee, who would still knee him if he removed his hand.
"How do you know that?! Maybe it's the truth!"
"Because I would have smelled it by now wouldn't I?" Iruka chuckled
"Damn…"

"So again, why?"
Kakashi said nothing for a moment.
"Because I have a serious injury on my face and I don't want to show anyone because its really bad."
Iruka's hand touched his face.
"Wrong answer again… I think its about time to tell the truth isn't it? If you don't want me to pull you're mask down myself." He moved his fingers to the edge of the mask but didn't pull it down. When Kakashi looked shocked at him he said. "I can feel that there are no injuries beside the one from you're Sharingan eye."

Kakashi sighed in defeat. At least that's what Iruka thought.
Kakashi suddenly moved and almost knee'd Iruka, Iruka had to move his knee to block and almost lost balance. Kakashi took this opportunity to grab Iruka's wrist and remove his hand from his face.
Iruka wasn't going to be defeated this easily. He hooked his fingers under the mask and pulled it down while Kakashi moved his hand away.
Before Kakashi knew his mask was almost completely removed, only his mouth and lower part of his face we're still covered. He released Iruka's wrists and quickly replaced his mask.

"Thank you." Kakashi said with a hurt voice and walked passed Iruka to his room and slammed the door.
"Way to go Umino… You we're almost there and then you screwed up." Iruka sighed and decided it wasn't smart to go after Kakashi so he went to the living room and sat down on the couch.
"How am I going to do this?"

An hour later Iruka decided it was time to go to Kakashi.
He knocked on the door.
"Kakashi? Kakashi I'm really sorry…" No answer.
"Could you please forgive me?" Still no answer.
"Could you at least say anything to me?!" Silence.
"Damn Kakashi!" He opened the door and froze.
"What the… Kakashi?" The room was empty. Kakashi was gone. Again.
"Damnit! I'm not letting you getting away with this Hatake Kakashi!" Iruka said angry.

Then he realized.
"SHIT! He's still injured. And its fucking raining like hell! KAKASHI GET YOUR SORRY ASS BACK HERE!" He jumped through the open window and started the search.
After a few minutes he was already soaked and still no sign of Kakashi.
He looked in every street and corner in the entire village.
Still no Kakashi. Iruka was on the edge of panicking.
"Where could he be? Where could he… Of course!" Iruka moved as quick as he could.

When he finally arrived he first didn't see him but when Iruka looked again he saw Kakashi.
Soaked to the bone, Kakashi sat with his back against the cold and hard stone, names all over it.
"Of course he would be here, of course the memorial stone…" Iruka mumbled while walking to Kakashi.

"Kakashi?" He asked gently when he knelt in front of the man. When he didn't respond he gently shook the man.
Kakashi looked up.
"What do you want?" He said irritated but not with his usual strong and stubborn tone.
"Just know I'm sorry… you can be mad at me later, lets get you home now."
"Fine…" Kakashi stood up but almost immediately collapsed.
"Kakashi!" Iruka reached out a hand to help him but Kakashi only glared at him.
"I'm fine!" Kakashi put his hand on his side and started to walk towards Konoha.
Iruka watched him for a moment before walking after him.

Kakashi was cold and his side wasn't fully healed yet.
His vision was getting blurry for a moment and he had to grab Iruka's arm to prevent he would fall in the mud. Iruka noticed that and quickly supported him.
"Let me help you…"
"I don't need help!" Kakashi tried to stand on his own but his vision still wasn't clear.
"Face it Kakashi, at this moment you need help."

A moment of silence.
"Fine." He mumbled.

When they arrived at Kakashi's apartment Kakashi was shivering heavily.
"You should get a shower to get warm." Iruka said to Kakashi.
"I know what I have to do." Kakashi said stubborn but walked to the bathroom.
Iruka went to the kitchen and made some tea.

When Iruka was figured out where everything was that he needed for the tea Kakashi was already done.
Iruka walked to the living room and almost dropped the tea when he saw Kakashi, with his back towards him, only with pants and his mask on, changing his bandages.
"Ehm need some help?" Iruka tried.
"No." A cold answer.
"I know you're still mad at me. I was just curious why you are hiding your face. That's all…"
Kakashi continued bandaging the slightly hurting wound on his side.
"Do you really want to know that badly?"
"Yes I do."

Kakashi sighed.
"I hide my face because…"
