As I walked in I found Iruka trying to cook while Kakashi flirted with him. I grabbed an apple in the bowl on the counter and tossed it at Kakashi's head.
He caught it and looked at me, "What?"
I took up my briefcase and sat it on the counter, "Stop bothering him, I want to eat his food without you causing it to burn or something."
Kakashi pouted and Iruka chuckled as he came and sat beside me, slouching in the chair. I giggled and looked over some papers to make sure they were how I wanted them. I patted them neat and Kakashi asked, "So Itachi was that childhood friend you told us about right?"
I nodded and put everything away and he asked, "Didn't you also have a crush on him?"
I felt my cheeks begin to warm and I said, "He's my boss."
Kakashi shrugged and said, "So?"
I looked at his expected look and sighed. Getting up I moved around the table and sat on his lap, "Kashi, we're just friends. And I don't want things to get all weird."
He tugged on my ponytail and said, "You don't know that it will."
I was silent and he waited patiently. I finally said, "I just want things to stay the way they are for now. Once I get better, we'll see."
He nodded and hugged me gently, "And I'll remind you."
I glared and the door burst open and Naruto cheered, "Can we eat now?"
Everyone was behind him and they froze, staring at me and Kakashi. I raised an eyebrow, "Um, not yet. Why don't you come in?"
I tried to stand but Kakashi wouldn't let go. I looked up at him in confusion and saw the gleam in his eye. I tried again and he said, "I think we should move and let them have a seat."
He swiftly picked me up and slung me over his shoulder. I squeaked and yelled, "Iruka! I'm being manhandled."
Iruka turned around and said sternly, "Kakashi, put her down."
Kakashi meerly grinned. I sighed and looked at the others, "Don't mind us. he does this a lot. Just get comfortable."
Kakashi seemed to suddenly have a lightbulb flash above his head and he asked, "Hey, do you still remember our little stunt for Drama in college?"
I pushed up and looked at him in confusion before it dawned on me. I said sternly, like talking to a dog, "No."
He grinned widely and before I could cling to him he tossed me into the air. I shouted and as I came down, I landed on his shoulders. Sitting there, breathing heavily I whacked his head, "I'm injured you freakin fruitloop!"
He suddenly let go of my legs and jerked. I fell back and I fell into Itachi's lap. I growled angrily and said, "Kakashi!"
He smiled and Iruka whacked him with a spoon, "Don't do that."
Kakashi pouted and I blinked as Itachi coughed. I looked at him in confusion and realized I was still on his lap. I felt myself go red and said, "Oh! Sorry Itachi."
I got off quickly and turned on Kakashi, "And that wasn't what we did in drama!"
He shrugged, helping Iruka get stuff on the table, "Did you want to hit the ceiling?"
I looked up and said, "Oh, good call."
He chuckled and I glared death. Iruka called that dinner was ready and we sat at the table. I sat between Itachi and Naruko. I turned to Itachi and explained, "Kakashi, Iruka and I used to do kind -of-gymnastics. We do them, but not for a club. Just at random."
Naruko asked innocently, "Were they your boyfriends?"
I shook my head, "Nope, they were too busy dating each other."
They turned to stare and Kakashi grinned, hugging Iruka close, who blushed brightly. I turned to Itachi, who had a slight look of relief on his face and explained, "Iruka is also Naruto's and Sasuke's new homeroom teacher. You work tomorrow don't you Iruka?"
He nodded and I hid a smile, exchanging looks with Naruto, and Sasuke. I was cooking up a plan, a plan that would be oh so much fun.
Itachi looked at me and asked, "Did you get that contract for the deal drawn up?"
I pointed back at my briefcase, "All done." He nodded, looking pleased and Kakashi asked Itachi, "So Itachi, do you have a girlfriend?"
I stared down at my plate as Itachi said slightly coldly, "No, and I don't see how that's any of your buisness."
Kakashi was unaffected as he opened his mouth to ask another question. I stiffened as a flash of Ling's face appeared in my mind, just outside the door. I quickly looked at the door and as there was a knock I said, "Kakashi, why don't you get that?"
He shrugged, thinking I was just trying to get him to shut up. He opened the door and Ling scowled when he saw who answered, "What the hell are you doing here?"
