Naruto left Kakashi's apartment. "Kakashi-sensei isn't there." He said rejoining the group. "His bed hasn't been slept in either, so he hasn't come home last night." The young ninja was twitching. 'Where could he have gone?' Naruto screamed to himself. 'Who would possibly know where Kakashi was? He shouldn't be too far, he would have woken the group if he was going on a mission for the Hokage.' Sasuke caught his arm.
"Maybe Iruka-sensei will know." Sasuke said. "Kakashi-sensei did leave with him yesterday, so it's logical that we ask the last person that saw him if he knows where Kakashi is." The tone told Naruto more than the words did, it was patronising and condescending. Sasuke started walking off to Iruka's before Naruto reacted to what he said. "Come on, dobe."
Kakashi's eye opened when he heard Iruka's door open, and judging by the sounds it was their students. Giving a soft sigh he laid his head back on the pillow. If they didn't knock, they deserved the thoughts he intended to give then. He hoped that he didn't waken Iruka by what he would be doing to his body. Gently he rolled Iruka onto his side and pulled him back towards the centre of the bed. There seemed to be no reaction from Iruka, making Kakashi smile. Gently he pressed his body as hard as he dared against the other Jounin's back and laid his head back on the pillow. 'Iruka smells nice, almost like cinnamon. It must be his shampoo.' Kakashi thought as he draped an arm around Iruka's body, above the covers.
'He mustn't be up yet.' Naruto thought as the rest of the house was searched from top to toe for the Jounin. 'I'll take a peek in the bedroom to see if he is there.' The others followed Naruto to the bedroom, and Naruto quietly opened the door. What they saw in the room startled them, especially Naruto, who shouted 'Pervert' at the top of his lungs.
Iruka had been having a very nice dream, one involving Kakashi holding him in his arms, pressing against his back. It felt so real that he didn't want to waken, even when he heard Naruto shouting. 'Wait a minute, why would Naruto be shouting in my dream?' Iruka thought sleepily as his eyes flickered open. He was in his room, in his bed, however he wasn't alone. There was definitely at least one other in his room, in his bed. That person was pressed against his back and had draped his arm over his body. There was only one person that the man behind him could be. Kakashi. Kakashi was holding him so intimately, like a lover. Only then did it hit him, he was being held in such a position in front of the kids.
Kakashi could feel Iruka tense under his arm and gently tightened his grip on Iruka's body as the shorter Jounin tried to make his escape. "Now, now, Iruka-kun, we don't want to give the kids a show do we?" Kakashi asked as he lowered his mask enough to place a kiss on the back of Iruka's neck, the hand above the covers disappearing under them to rest on Iruka's belly, before rubbing up and down. Iruka's left eye began to twitch, giving the kids enough warning that he was going to explode, and they left as quickly as they could. Even Kakashi felt nervous when he saw the reaction Iruka was having.
Once Iruka was sure that the kids were gone, he turned to face Kakashi. "Hatake Kakashi, what to fuck do you think that you were doing?" Iruka shouted. "Not only were you holding me so… intimately, but you were doing so in front of kids!" Iruka threw back the covers and got up, beginning to pace back and forth. "Surely you realise what you led them to believe!" Kakashi allowed Iruka to grumble a bit longer before he grabbed the Jounin, pulling him back to the bed. "I'm not in the mood for this!" Kakashi laughed inside his mind. Iruka wasn't angry that he had done what he did, just that it was in front of the kids.
"Consider me chastised." Kakashi said as he allowed a hand to slip down the other's back, feeling how tensed up the muscles were. "Really, Iruka-kun, you're quite tense. Let me see if I can make you feel better." Iruka gave Kakashi a sceptical look but said nothing more as Kakashi guided him onto the bed before beginning to rummage around for some oil. Eventually he found some, and applied some to his hands before setting about getting rid of the knots in the muscles by giving Iruka a massage. It didn't take long for Iruka to begin to moan as the nimble fingers did their job.
'So my fiery Iruka has an 'off' switch.' Kakashi thought as he finished on Iruka's back. "Turn over, Iruka-kun." Kakashi said, watching as Iruka lazily turned over to lie on his back. However he surprised Iruka by removing the tie that held his hair in place, allowing the silky strands to spread out on the pillow before working on the other's muscles once more. Kakashi could clearly see the enjoyment on the other's face. "I guess that you are enjoying yourself, Iruka-kun." Kakashi said playfully as his hands worked down to the other's abdominal muscles, tracing along the bottom of Iruka's ribcage. "You know, if you want this to happen again, I'd be here in a flash." Kakashi said. A moment later and Kakashi had left the massage and crawled up Iruka's body until his eye looked into Iruka's. "You don't know how long I have wanted to see you like this." Kakashi said, half enjoying the spluttering of the Jounin below him.
Iruka knew that the other Jounin was a very private man, and had never heard one rumour about any so-called partners. He had first thought that maybe all of Kakashi's partners were as discrete as he was, but that was dismissed when Hayate, one of the Jounins closest to Kakashi, said that he had never seen Kakashi with anyone, that the Jounin always said that he had is eye on 'a certain someone' every time he was asked why he hadn't gone out on a date with anyone, much less have invited them into his bed. Iruka had given those same excuses himself. He could feel his heart pounding in his ears as Kakashi lowered his lips, giving Iruka a gentle kiss. Kakashi felt Iruka's arms wrap around his neck as he deepened the kiss, his tongue asking permission to delve into the younger man's mouth. Once they separated for air, Iruka couldn't help but chuckle. "I was this 'certain someone' Hayate mentioned?" He asked and for the first time he saw Kakashi blush and nod. "All this time and we have been after each other, I can hardly believe it. Even though we've found out each other's secrets I…"
"You want to take it slow." Kakashi finished for him. "I feel the same way. I just wanted to know how you felt in case I was wrong." Kakashi said as he sat back, allowing Iruka to sit up, leading to another breath-taking kiss. Kakashi could only hold the other Jounin in his arms he couldn't believe his luck. The man he had loved since he had seen him years before actually wanted him in return. However he would have to have a word with a certain other Jounin about keeping some secrets better than others.
Naruto rocked himself back and forth on Sasuke's bed. The Uchiha couldn't understand what was so traumatising about seeing Iruka and Kakashi in bed, other than it explained why the two teams were spending so much time together. He loved the idea that the two Jounins liked each other enough to show it in such a way, and it was partly Naruto's fault for barging straight in. Then again he knew that Naruto looked to the two Jounins, especially Iruka, as parents. "If it's any consolation, I don't think anything was happening under the covers." Sasuke said as he sat beside Naruto. "I don't think that they have been in a relationship long either. They didn't act like a couple yesterday. Iruka-sensei didn't even know that using the Sharingan used up Kakashi-sensei's chakra." He pulled Naruto into him, offering him some comfort.
"Iruka-sensei never even told me." Naruto said hiccupping. "I thought he would have said that something was going on between him and Kakashi-sensei." Naruto lay his head on Sasuke's shoulder, just as Sakura entered the room.
'Get your hands off of my Sasuke!' Inner Sakura screamed, while Sakura just stood gaping at the boys. She was the only member of Team Kakashi not to have entered Iruka's apartment. "What happened?" She asked a little too sweetly. "You can tell me." 'I swear I won't tell anyone... well not many people.' Inner Sakura added. 'Anything that upset Naruto that much must be good to use as firepower.'
"Oh, we witnessed Kakashi and Iruka together." Sasuke said. "By that I mean in bed together." The way that Sasuke said it made Naruto start trembling once more. "It's fine, Naruto, it just means that you'll have two fathers instead of one, think of the extra ramen." Not even that could quell the trembling fully, although it seemed to lessen the effects some. "Anyway it doesn't matter about them, you will always have me." Sasuke held Naruto to him. The taller Genin smiled as the shorter one seemed to relax against him. "My poor dobe." He said affectionately, much to Sakura's dismay.
"Sasuke, why are you being so nice to me?" Naruto asked. Usually the, rather stoic, Uchiha would have thrown an insult or two at him. teasing him because of his weakness, but apart from a teasing 'dobe' nothing close to an insult had been uttered. "This isn't like you. This must be a warped dream or something." Yes the thought that this was all a nightmare was appealing. However a moment later and Sasuke licked Naruto's earlobe, making Naruto squeal in surprise and leap from Sasuke's arms. "What was that for?" He shouted as he backed away from the dark haired boy.
A moment later and Naruto had taken flight, Sasuke close on his heels. Sasuke knew that his home was more than a little confusing to many people, even those that visited regularly. Naruto would have some problems finding the exit, for that he was glad. The footsteps were heading away from the door outside, much to Sasuke's glee. Following at a much more leisurely pace, he knew that Naruto had found another bedroom. He entered just behind him, keeping between Naruto and the door. "Naruto-kun, we need to talk." The Uchiha said, every step he took closer to Naruto, the blond took one back until he ended up on the bed. "What I said wasn't out of malice." Sasuke said as he sat on the bed. "I have been trying to get you to kiss me again. Ever since you kissed me that time before we became team mates, I have always wondered when you would do it again."
Naruto's eyes went wide and he began to stutter a little. He couldn't believe that Sasuke thought that he kissed him. "Sasuke, I never kissed you." Naruto managed to say once he had gathered his wits about him enough to realise that Sasuke was waiting for him to speak. "Shikamaru bumped my ass when I was glaring at you and our lips collided, thats all." Naruto said. "I like girls, not other boys." How hollow that sounded even to himself, he thought that he liked Sakura, but that infatuation ended rather quickly, and no other girls took his fancy. Maybe he didn't like girls after all.
Sasuke could see the unusual silence surround Naruto, and took his chance. He pulled Naruto against him, touching his cheek before swooping in for a kiss. For a moment there was no reaction from the blond, but just when Sasuke was about to pull back, thinking that Naruto was indeed correct, he felt Naruto's lips press harder against his own as two arms wrapped around his neck. Maybe the dobe didn't know his own body after all.
All Naruto could think about was the hot lips on his own, moving so wonderfully over his own. The kiss felt right with Sasuke, too right if you asked him. It left a burning sensation in his belly, a happy feeling from the Kyubi trapped inside him. 'This is nice.' He heard the Kyubi say in the back of his mind. 'You like this, you want this. Have wanted this as long as the Uchiha has. You can't deny it forever.'
Naruto pulled back, exclaiming a, rather loud, 'Yes' back at the Kyubi. "Uh, Naruto-kun, what's the matter?" Sasuke asked just before Naruto kissed him back to block out any more questions from the Uchiha. However that didn't block out them rather loud, scream from the doorway as Sakura witnessed the boys' second kiss, breaking them apart quickly as she fled the site of her worst nightmare. The two boys looked at eachother before returning to their interupted kiss.
Sakura could only think of one place to go, and that was to Ino's. Although she and the blonde still weren't on the best of terms, they had become slightly more friendly towards each other than they had been in the past. Banging on the door, she eventually got a reply from her ex-best friend. "Can I come in?" She asked when Ino opened the door. There is something that I need to tell you." Ino's curiosity made her allow Sakura into her home. "Hello, Hinata." Sakura said seeing the quiet Hyuuga girl sitting on the sofa.
"What's the matter?" Hinata asked as her fingers played with her hair. She and Ino had been talking about Naruto just before Sakura arrived, and now that his team mate was there, she stopped talking about him. "You seem rather flustered."
"I-saw-Sasuke-and-Naruto-kissing-in-the-Uchia-mansion. " Sakura blurted out, skin white where she had been gripping so hard that she had stopped blood flowing in that area. Quickly Sakura told the other two girls of the Rookie 9 what she had seen, there was shocked silence, before Hinata began to tremble. Ino laughed.
"Good one, Sakura-chan." She said as she returned to braiding her hair. "I guess you have scared Sasuke-kun into Naruto's pants with your abnormally large forehead." She said, teasing the pink haired girl before she saw that Sakura was genuinely shocked to find out about Sasuke's 'hidden' feelings. "Honestly, I thought that you would have given us more credit about knowing about those boys than you did. Sasuke-kun has been after Naruto-kun for months. Don't tell me you seriously thought that he was interested in girls all the time that you were on the same team?" She giggled. "Not to mention that there nobody else on your team you can transfer your affections to, except Kakashi-sensei." Sakura shook her head as she remembered what Sasuke had said about finding Kakashi in bed with Iruka.
"I'm going to go home." She said angrilly, feeling as though the world was laughing at her. How could she have been so blind? She ran all the way home and stormed into her bedroom and slammed the door shut before starting to cry. Why did things like this always happen to her?
Kurama had heard Sakura return home, and after the door to her bedroom slammed shut, did Kurama go back to working on improving his jutsus. When there was still no sign of Sakura after an hour, Kurama went investigating and found the kunoichi still crying in her room. "Sakura-chan?" He asked as he approached her bed. "What's the matter, who has upset you?" Sakura threw herself into Kurama's arms, forcing Kurama to hold her. "Shh, it's okay, Sakura-chan." He said as she slowly stopped crying. "How, Sakura-chan, tell me what happened." So Sakura told him everything that happened since the two teams went their seperate ways. "You can't change people, Sakura." Kurama said once she had finished. "You are just caught in the middle of everything. It's hard on you, I know, but you'll survive. If you can't you're not much of a ninja." He pushed Sakura back. "When you have seen as much pain as I have in the past, then you can complain. I watched as one of my partners was killed in front of me, I hired an assassin to kill a friend who betrayed me, I was almost killed when I was caught stealing. I have survived because I thought not about then but on the future." Sakura dried her eyes. "If this is going to stop you, give up being a ninja, because I don't think you'll survive." With that Kurama left her alone.
Sakura suddenly realised that Kurama was right, that if she couldn't suffer through something like this, how would she react on the battlefield where friends and comrades could be killed. Although she hated it, she knew that he was correct. She would find another more worthy of her affections. Someone like Kurama would be perfect for her. Then she realised that Kurama wasn't seeing anyone, so maybe if she played her cards right she could date him. She started laying plans for seducing her housemate.
Hiei and Yusuke panted after their own training session. Just because it wasn't required of them to do anything that day, it was better if they trained. "What do you say we hit the water?" Yusuke asked as he stretched, sparing with Hiei always made him hot under the colour. The shorter apparition had always attracted his attention, and never more so than when he was wet. Yusuke could sit and watch the water run off of the apparition's skin. He also knew that Hiei watched him too, Hiei's gaze always felt hot on his back, as though someone placed him next to a heater. He was dragged from his thoughts by Hiei allerting him to the fact that he was waiting for the half-breed to join him. Slipping into the water, Yusuke moaned happily as the water washed over his form, cooling heated skin. "Hiei?" Yusuke asked, looking over at the apparition, who returned his gaze calmly. Yusuke was suddenly very hot.
"What is it, Detective?" Hiei asked, unwilling to give up his pet name for Yusuke. Yusuke was being unusually thoughtful, which normally meant that the Detective was going to come out with some huge revelation, or something equally as boring. The apparition, personally, wasn't too interested, he just looked so as to make the Detective think somebody cared. "Spit it out then." Yusuke blushed hearing Hiei's voice, such a deep one for one so small. The list of what he liked about the apparition could go on forever.
"Hiei, there has been something that I was meaning to tell you." Yusuke said as swam over to Hiei, taking hold of the apparition's hands to make sure that he couldn't explain. "I think I love you." Hiei snorted. He wasn't about to believe that, after all the Detective 'loved' a human female back home. "I'm serious, Hiei." Yusuke said he surprised the apparition by using his youki to leap out of the water, taking Hiei with him. He landed in a tree, tentatively released Hiei from his grasp. Although Hiei wanted to run, he knew that Yusuke would follow until he listened.
"What makes me so different from the human you 'love'?" Hiei asked, sounding bored. "After all you love her too. You've said that many times. You've risked your life many times for her." The apparition still thought that love was an emotion that stopped someone from fighting at their best, and nothing was about to change that view.
"I've changed, Hiei." Yusuke said, still persisting with his 'ridiculous' notion tht he loved the undesired apparition. "I don't care what you say, I can feel everything more clearly now than I had before. I want, need and desire only you." Hiei tried to laugh at that, but there was something in Yusuke's eyes that told him that he spoke the truth. There was an acceptance that he had never seen in the eyes of another. A passion that he had never experienced. A pair of cool lips pressed experimentally against his, shy and questioning. It brought a growl from Hiei's chest as his instincts set in, pinning Yusuke against the trunk of the tree. He refused the taller of the pair to take advantage of him. If anything happened between them, then he would be the one in charge. He pulled away after a while, leaving Yusuke breathless.
"This happens under my terms only." The apparition said as he smirked at Yusuke's panting form. "If you want anything to happen you play my games, until I know what I want." With that the apparition turned, leaving Yusuke to watch him as he disappeared through the trees.

Quickly Sakura told the other two girls of the Rookie 9 what she had seen, there was shocked silence, before Hinata began to tremble. Ino laughed.
"Good one, Sakura-chan." She said as she returned to braiding her hair. "I guess you have scared Sasuke-kun into Naruto's pants with your abnormally large forehead." She said, teasing the pink haired girl before she saw that Sakura was genuinely shocked to find out about Sasuke's 'hidden' feelings. "Honestly, I thought that you would have given us more credit about knowing about those boys than you did. Sasuke-kun has been after Naruto-kun for months. Don't tell me you seriously thought that he was interested in girls all the time that you were on the same team?" She giggled. "Not to mention that there nobody else on your team you can transfer your affections to, except Kakashi-sensei." Sakura shook her head as she remembered what Sasuke had said about finding Kakashi in bed with Iruka.
"I'm going to go home." She said angrilly, feeling as though the world was laughing at her. How could she have been so blind? She ran all the way home and stormed into her bedroom and slammed the door shut before starting to cry. Why did things like this always happen to her?
Kurama had heard Sakura return home, and after the door to her bedroom slammed shut, did Kurama go back to working on improving his jutsus. When there was still no sign of Sakura after an hour, Kurama went investigating and found the kunoichi still crying in her room. "Sakura-chan?" He asked as he approached her bed. "What's the matter, who has upset you?" Sakura threw herself into Kurama's arms, forcing Kurama to hold her. "Shh, it's okay, Sakura-chan." He said as she slowly stopped crying. "How, Sakura-chan, tell me what happened." So Sakura told him everything that happened since the two teams went their seperate ways. "You can't change people, Sakura." Kurama said once she had finished. "You are just caught in the middle of everything. It's hard on you, I know, but you'll survive. If you can't you're not much of a ninja." He pushed Sakura back. "When you have seen as much pain as I have in the past, then you can complain. I watched as one of my partners was killed in front of me, I hired an assassin to kill a friend who betrayed me, I was almost killed when I was caught stealing. I have survived because I thought not about then but on the future." Sakura dried her eyes. "If this is going to stop you, give up being a ninja, because I don't think you'll survive." With that Kurama left her alone.
Sakura suddenly realised that Kurama was right, that if she couldn't suffer through something like this, how would she react on the battlefield where friends and comrades could be killed. Although she hated it, she knew that he was correct. She would find another more worthy of her affections. Someone like Kurama would be perfect for her. Then she realised that Kurama wasn't seeing anyone, so maybe if she played her cards right she could date him. She started laying plans for seducing her housemate.
Hiei and Yusuke panted after their own training session. Just because it wasn't required of them to do anything that day, it was better if they trained. "What do you say we hit the water?" Yusuke asked as he stretched, sparing with Hiei always made him hot under the colour. The shorter apparition had always attracted his attention, and never more so than when he was wet. Yusuke could sit and watch the water run off of the apparition's skin. He also knew that Hiei watched him too, Hiei's gaze always felt hot on his back, as though someone placed him next to a heater. He was dragged from his thoughts by Hiei allerting him to the fact that he was waiting for the half-breed to join him. Slipping into the water, Yusuke moaned happily as the water washed over his form, cooling heated skin. "Hiei?" Yusuke asked, looking over at the apparition, who returned his gaze calmly. Yusuke was suddenly very hot.
"What is it, Detective?" Hiei asked, unwilling to give up his pet name for Yusuke. Yusuke was being unusually thoughtful, which normally meant that the Detective was going to come out with some huge revelation, or something equally as boring. The apparition, personally, wasn't too interested, he just looked so as to make the Detective think somebody cared. "Spit it out then." Yusuke blushed hearing Hiei's voice, such a deep one for one so small. The list of what he liked about the apparition could go on forever.
"Hiei, there has been something that I was meaning to tell you." Yusuke said as swam over to Hiei, taking hold of the apparition's hands to make sure that he couldn't explain. "I think I love you." Hiei snorted. He wasn't about to believe that, after all the Detective 'loved' a human female back home. "I'm serious, Hiei." Yusuke said he surprised the apparition by using his youki to leap out of the water, taking Hiei with him. He landed in a tree, tentatively released Hiei from his grasp. Although Hiei wanted to run, he knew that Yusuke would follow until he listened.
"What makes me so different from the human you 'love'?" Hiei asked, sounding bored. "After all you love her too. You've said that many times. You've risked your life many times for her." The apparition still thought that love was an emotion that stopped someone from fighting at their best, and nothing was about to change that view.
"I've changed, Hiei." Yusuke said, still persisting with his 'ridiculous' notion tht he loved the undesired apparition. "I don't care what you say, I can feel everything more clearly now than I had before. I want, need and desire only you." Hiei tried to laugh at that, but there was something in Yusuke's eyes that told him that he spoke the truth. There was an acceptance that he had never seen in the eyes of another. A passion that he had never experienced. A pair of cool lips pressed experimentally against his, shy and questioning. It brought a growl from Hiei's chest as his instincts set in, pinning Yusuke against the trunk of the tree. He refused the taller of the pair to take advantage of him. If anything happened between them, then he would be the one in charge. He pulled away after a while, leaving Yusuke breathless.
"This happens under my terms only." The apparition said as he smirked at Yusuke's panting form. "If you want anything to happen you play my games, until I know what I want." With that the apparition turned, leaving Yusuke to watch him as he disappeared through the trees.
