"Are you listening to me Hatake? I said 'Next.' That means you give me your mission report." Kakashi Hatake glanced over his Icha Icha book, giving the slightly ticked Chuunin a look before going back to read his porn. Scratch slightly, the needle on the Rage Meter was moving quickly towards "Run for your lives, he's homicidal today!" section of the gauge. Izumo had grabbed his lover and both men were inching towards the exit, but broke into a quick walk when Iruka's vein twitched. This wasn't going to end well, both men could see that right now. It seemed that Iruka's old students had also noticed the tick in their former Sensei's vein, and they too were backing away slowly. They knew what would happen, and they wished mercy on the poor man's soul. Oh wait, this was Kakashi they were talking about. He deserved every moment of the torture that would follow.
"Hatake fucking Kakashi, hand me your mission report. . ." Iruka trailed off, hoping that he wouldn't have to finish his threat. He was not; and I mean not with a capital N; in the mood for Kakashi's mind games. This wasn't how he had pictured this day going. The Chuunins' that knew what was going to happen felt sorry for the Jounin. Iruka was evil when he was pissed, and often went for the hair dye, itching cream, and even go as far as waving something shiny in their faces. Especially when he was feeling homicidal. They just wished that Kakashi wouldn't piss the teacher off when they were still in the room. They weren't stupid, and all the men liked their ball sacs right where it was. In between their legs, not stuffed down their throats(1) like "his" had been. It was a general rule that they didn't talk about "him." All the Genin found out about it eventually, but after a quick interrogation session with Iruka(2), none of them ever said anything.
But perhaps it was the monotone that made Iruka go insane, but the thing was none of the village Shinoubi were prepared for the day when Iruka had disappeared. He had just vanished, gone from his home. When Tsunade had said that she hadn't assigned him a mission, they realized that someone had made them loose their best teacher. And now? Tsunade was out for blood.
(1) Old incident in which Mitzuki tried to rape Iruka in the forest. He was found dead with his ball sac split into two. One had been shoved up his ass, and the other had gone down his throat. It had not been a pretty sight and several of the ANBU had thrown up after the first look. (Don't tell them that I told you as they will deny it then hunt me down and kill me for anything in the first place)
(2)Ibiki liked to have Iruka help out with the interrogation sessions as he could make men cry within a minute or two. The teachers would bring the Genin that had found out about "him", and they would let them watch as Iruka interrogated a prisoner. It often made the Genin team cry, and that was when they learned not to say anything. Though there was one kid who brought it up. He was found dead the next morning with the kanji for "nature" carved into his arm. Iruka's method was very effective and was often how Kohona knew things that the other villages didn't. Like I said, Iruka was often the Ace of T&I.
Alright. I know this is shorter than you would have liked (It's only 670 or so words), but it's the last of the back story that I'm planning on sharing with you guys. Next week's chapter will start with what is happening and I will introduce a new character. Trust me, it's worth the wait.
A big SHOUT OUT of THANKS! goes to TjRythum for her BETAing work on the last chapter. And possibly this one too. Assuming I get around to sending it to her.
