Kakashi walked down the stairs into the basement of the S.S. Aqua, mind trying to formulate a proper lesson for the day.

'This can't be too hard, now can it?' he asked himself, turning a sharp corner. 'I'll just make today and assessment. Maybe ask them a few questions to see what they know.' He passed by a door that was slightly ajar, and out of curiosity, took a peek inside. 'Hmm, whoever that is, they have incredibly long, green hair. Wait! Long, green hair? Could it be Denji? No, no, my minds playing tricks on me. Stay on focus.' He soon came to a door that read 'Conference Room.'

"Her goes nothing," he whispered, entering the room. "Good morning. My name is Kakashi Hatake, and I will be the one teaching you about the various types of weapons."

"Good morning, sir," the class mechanically called out.

'That's not creepy at all,' the pale man thought, walking up to the front of the room. 'Hachiku said that the weapons were already here so…' He looked around the room, and was surprised to see a copious amount of weapons dangling from the walls. 'Not weird at all.'

"Ok, before we even think about touching a single weapon, I want to know what you know about them. Who has had any experiences with them?" A young, brunette rose her hand timidly. "Yes, uh…"

"Yoko," she finished.

"Right, Yoko. So what experience have you had?"

"I was actually wondering if a regular knife counted, like in cooking," she said meekly.

"Unless you plan on killing a carrot, no."

"Oh."

"Ok class, I see none of you knows what to do. That's ok. It just means that you all are blank slates in which I can work with. Now, let's start with a simple assessment. Who knows what the most reliable weapon is for close combat fighting?" Kakashi asked, scanning the room. "Blue haired guy, your name?"

"Ren," the man answered flatly.

"Your answer?"

"A throwing spear."

"And why is that?"

"Well, they're sharp, and pretty light weight."

"I'll give you an 'A' for effort, but you're wrong. A spear's body is slender and elongated, which means it is best suited for long distance fighting, more specifically, for throwing, as you previously mentioned. Anyone else? No? The correct answer is your own two fists. They're the most reliable when the opponent has confiscated all of your weapons, but you must be in top physical condition to succeed. I'll go more into that later. Your second best friend is the hook sword. Although it too is slender, like the spear, it has numerous focal points in which you can grab it, thus allowing you to control the intensity of your attacks. It is also reversible, with one side being a regular sword, and the other acting as a hook, which can be used for gouging, theft of an item, and in extreme cases, leverage, when in need of quick transportation. Any questions?"

"Sir?"

"Yes, Yoko?"

"What about a regular sword?"

"That would fall fourth, behind brass knuckles."

"And why is that?"

Kakashi smiled at the girl's curiosity, and answered, "You see, swords are quite easy to get knocked out of your grasp. They also break easily, when hit at the correct point. Brass knuckles, on the other hand, can be adorned with numerous spikes, some of which may be poisoned, that deals a lot of damage upon impact. They are also difficult to remove."

"Wow, that's so cool."

"I'm glad you think so, Yoko," Kakashi stated, causing the young girl to blush slightly. "All right, close combat aside, I want every one of you to state the weapon you think is the ultimate best- no, the weapon you would use, and why. We'll start with belly-shirt over there. Wait, why is your stomach showing? That's not part of the- oh whatever. Your name?"

"Sai," the male replied drearily.

"Your weapon?"

"A tai chi sword, because wielding one is equivalent to sculpting art. You must be a true artisan who knows what his goals are. One mistake and you can potentially ruing your end result."

"Unusually deep, but whatever suits you. Next?"

"Tao, sir. My weapon would be the dagger, because it is easily hidden, it's compact, and with the correct aim, it's highly fatal."

"Good," Kakashi answered. He continued with the assignment, moving down the row accordingly, until everyone stated their weapon of choice. "I'm glad to see that all of you have at least some sort of knowledge about weaponry. That will save me a lot of trouble. Oh, it's already three- thirty. Tomorrow we will address the pros and cons of the bow and arrow, ok? Good. Class dismissed."

The class happily exited the room, leaving Kakashi alone in the room.

'Two more years,' Kakashi thought in anguish.

"Hey," came a familiar voice. "I thought I recognized that voice."

Kakashi turned his attention towards the entrance, and almost jumped when he saw who was standing in the doorway.

"Denji? What the hell are you doing here?"

"Well I thought I would take a nice cruise out on the ocean and- what do you think I'm doing here? Such a dumbass," the green haired man chastised.

"Still as mean as ever."

"Yeah, yeah. You know who else is on here? Gai."

"What? Oh great, not only do I get to teach, I also get to hide from a creepy man. "

"Why? I thought you two were really close friends."

"He's more like a pest. He always challenges me to some youthful crap to see who the best person is."

"Awe, that's not nice."

"Yeah, well life's not fair. Oh, don't you dare mention to him that I'm here, got it?"

"Yes, master, haha. So are you gonna join me for a bit, or will you be crawling back to your emo corner?"

"You actually got a break?"

"No, I just wanted to sneak off and risk getting my ass chewed out by the captain," Denji sarcastically replied with a grin.

"Well what do you think, De-de?" Kakashi replied, smirking.

"Glad to have you back."


"This doesn't feel right without Kakashi," Genma complained, earning a jab in the rib from Raidou. "What did I do? All I'm saying is that the last time we were out at a bar like this, Kakashi was here with us."

"Genma, shut it!" Raidou seethed, throwing an apologetic glance towards Iruka.

"It's ok," Iruka said, smiling slightly. "It's been a couple of days since he left, so I'm starting to get used to the feeling," the man explained, taking a sip from his drink.

"I'm glad you're doing ok," Raidou said, beaming brightly. "Aren't you Gen- Genma! What the hell are you doing?"

"I was trying to see if I could balance this spoon on my nose," the brunette replied, swaying back and forth in an attempt to keep the spoon from falling.

"You look like a child, knock it off," his lover hissed, reaching for the spoon, only to be blocked by Genma's arm.

"Nope, won't quit. I don't complain when you drag me to those stupid chic-flicks of yours, do I?"

"Stupid? They have great story plots," Raidou defended, laughing when the spoon fell from the other's nose and landed on the table with a small clank. "There, serves you right. Karma."

"I'll show you karma when we get home and- what's so funny?" Genma asked Iruka, when the tanned man suddenly burst out in a fit of giggles.

"You two," Iruka breathed out between stifles of laughter. "You guys act like one of those old, married couples on T.V."

"Old? I'll have you know I'm in the prime of my youth," Genma retorted.

"Prime? Youth? Please," Raidou countered, crossing his arms in front of his chest. "What about that time you found a gray hair? Or that time you pulled your back bending over for the remote? Or better yet, the time you fell asleep while cooking!"

"For the last time, I did not pull my back. I was just sore from working out, and bending over didn't help. The gray hair thing is just genetics, and I didn't fall asleep, I just had some delayed blinks. I'm glad you're enjoying this Iruka," Genma stated, noticing how the young teacher was struggling to breathe.

"Please, please, new subject. Can't breathe," Iruka begged, clutching his stomach.

"Look what you did, Raidou," Genma scolded, shaking his head in disappointment. "Causing the poor man to- ow! Ok, ok, I'll stop. God, just quit hitting me, damn."

"Good," Raidou confirmed with a smile. "Oh yea, Iruka, who was that one blonde guy you were with yesterday? I saw you two in Granny Tsubasa's Café the other day."

"Oh, Tachibana? He's just a worried soul like me. His crush was recruited for war, and he just wanted someone to talk to. We actually met in a restaurant, thanks to Anko, and he kind of, uh how do I say this… I reminded him of his crush, so he tried to get close to me. He's a really nice person once you get to know him."

"Woah," Genma began, "not even a week after Kakashi left and you already have men after you. You're a dick magnet 'Ruru."

"Genma!" Raidou yelled, slapping the man square in the face, "What the fuck is your problem? I told you not to mention you know who!"

"It's ok Raidou, really, it was just a joke, haha," Iruka defended, reaching over to pat the enraged man on the hand.

"Yeah baby, calm down, please? I'm sorry," Genma apologized, giving his love the best pout he could muster.

"Ugh," Raidou sighed, "you know I can't say no to that face. Ok, you're forgiven, but no make-up sex."

"I- you- we- fine," Genma muttered, sulking slightly.

"Now," Raidou continued, "do you mind if I ask who Tachibana has his eyes on?"

"He likes a man named Denji," Iruka replied. "Do you know him?"

"Denji… Denji, the name sounds familiar," Raidou said.

"He's a famous novelist," Iruka offered. "He has long, green hair, if that helps."

"Oh yeah," Raidou exclaimed, "Denji Shunsuke. He's a great writer, but has a short temper, or so the media claims."

"It's true," Iruka chuckled out. "Tachibana actually met him while he was fighting with a bank employee."

"Wow, how romantic?" Raidou giggled out.

The two turned their attention to Genma, who was still sulking in his chair. The man looked back and forth between the two, before mouthing a silent 'what?'

"Well, you've been quite for so long, I was starting to get worried," Raidou stated.

"Everything I've said so far has gotten me into trouble, so I figured I'd shut up and save myself the trouble," Genma retorted.

"I see you're getting smarter by the second," Iruka laughed out, quieting down when the pouting man shot him a glare.

"Genma, don't be like that," Raidou said, poking the man's cheek softly. "Fine, make-up sex."

"Really? Yes! I love you!" Genma exclaimed jubilantly, hugging the other tightly. "You're the best."

'See what I have to go through?' Raidou mouthed to the tanned man, who began sniggering silently in return.

"Ok, so does Denji know he exists?" Genma inquired, pulling back from his love.

"Er, I'm not too sure," Iruka replied, scratching the back of his head. "He might have looked at Tachibana for a split second, but I don't think he knows his name."

"Wow, the blonde guy sounds like a stalker," Genma commented.

"That's what I said," Iruka stated, "but he kept saying it wasn't like that. You know, it's really funny if you try to imagine the whole situation."

"Gay people have all the fun," Raidou commented from out of the blue, causing the other two to laugh. "Looks like this Tachibana guy is going to be a fun addition to our pack."

Yay! Denji's back haha, which means only fun things can happen. Please review!
