Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ Faint ❯ Part 9 - Admitting? ( Chapter 9 )

I've taken a few quotes from the story "SIDE EFFECTS" by Risu-chan (I hope I spelt it right) because I think she's a pure genius when it comes to sarcastic-description. I couldn't help it! I bow to her talents! I suggest all KakaIru fans read her fic. It rocks!

A big thanks to b4k4_girl for beta-reading this chapter! Lookie! She even made me a fanart of Iruka and Genma's outfit! I don't know if it's already up in her deviantart account, but ask her anyway. It's super CUTE! I love it!

Enjoy!

FAINT 9

Genma found the vault fairly easily. He saw Iruka and Kaede vanish behind a sliding wooden door and prayed that Iruka would be okay. He knew that Iruka had a dagger on the side of his boot under his pant-leg, but he was still worried. Iruka didn't look as if he could manage some sort of sexual assault.

Genma did a few quick seals and let loose a genjutsu around the place. He then began to unlock the vault and found the place stuffed with not only cash but bars of gold. He gave a little whistle and did a few quick seals and conjured up five clones. They pulled out the folded bags tied to the side of their boots and began to empty the place. Genma found a folder on a metal shelf in one corner and flicked through it. He found the information he needed in the folder, took out the important transaction papers and bank account notice and legal papers and slipped it into the bag. He motioned for his clones to gather at the edge of town while he went to fetch Iruka.

As he made his way towards the door he saw Iruka vanish into, he pulled out a whistle from his pocket, blew on it once and then heard a muffled `oomph' then silence from within. He entered and found Iruka pulling the leather shirt from under Kaede's unconscious body.

"You all right?" Genma asked, concerned.

"I'm fine. The guy ripped my shirt." He said, showing the leather piece ripped in half. "What a waste."

Genma blinked and stared at Kaede. Iruka knelt beside him and he watched as Iruka began to undo his clothes. "What are you doing?"

"Don't want to make anything look suspicious right?" Iruka said and stood back once he had Kaede's clothes in a suitably disarrayed state, resembling the look of post-coital disarray . "Did you get everything?"

"Yes. Let's get out of here." Genma said and they made their way to the exit, took their coats and vanished into the night,

After delivering the dough and papers to the men they were supposed to meet by the village entrance, Genma and Iruka finally headed for their homes. Iruka wrapped his arms around his body, fighting off the chill that he was feeling due to not wearing a top under his coat.

"Well, mission accomplished." Genma said.

"Yes." Iruka said, nodding and giving Genma a smile. "It's been a tiring night." Iruka said, stopping at the detour to take a left that would lead to his home.

"Totally. With you dancing the way you did, I wouldn't be surprised if you dropped dead on your bed." Genma said, smirking at the blush that appeared on Iruka's cheeks.

"Yes, well -" Iruka stuttered. "Undercover missions require you to learn a lot of things." He said, and he spoke from experience from all the undercover missions he'd been through. Being a skilled assassin and thief requires squishing pride and actually stooping down at the same time, doing things that you normally wouldn't. Iruka grasped his coat tighter around his body.

"Iruka?" Genma asked and the chuunin looked up and blinked, waiting for him to speak. Genma could feel his heart hammering in his chest. He could say it right there and right now and ask for a date or say what he felt. "I think I finally understand why Sandaime trusted you so much. You can handle almost any situation."

Coward.

"Thank you." Iruka said and smiled at him, pushing back his hair behind his ears as a gust of wind blew against them. "I'm very honored to have gone on a mission with you, though as simple and silly it is." He chuckled. "I'll file in the report tomorrow."

"Right." Genma nodded and stared at Iruka some more.

"Shiranui-san? Is something wrong?" Iruka queried, worry lacing his features.

"No. Nothing's wrong. Good night, Iruka." Genma said and gave him a small smile.

"Good night." Iruka replied, smiling.

They then parted ways, with Genma blushing as he remembered Iruka dancing.

Genma wanted to bash Raido on the head with nin-sandal till kingdom came. The man had been sniggering ever since he saw Genma that morning. They had gate watch duty and a mission that evening to deliver an important document to the Kazekage.

"It's either silence or Armageddon, chucklehead!" Genma finally snapped at Raido.

"Sorry." Raido said and tried to look serious but he suddenly burst out laughing so hard that Genma was really, really tempted to do the Katon Karyu Endan on the scarred man till he was nothing but barbeque. "Sorry, Genma. Seriously, I just can't help myself."

"Care to share the joke?" Genma asked, glaring even harder.

Raido finally ceased laughing a few minutes later and started to stare at the sky before turning to look at Genma. "So did you have any problems with little Willy last night? I heard Iruka looked very sexy."

Genma pulled one of his sandals off and hit Raido on the back of the head with it.

Genma had a very visible frown on his face as he headed back from the Sand Village with a very, very happily grinning and teasing Raido beside him.

"Hokage-sama said that you looked like you were about to catch fire watching Iruka dance. She did throw in a few comments about Iruka being a very good dancer. She also said that if it wasn't for the age difference, she would have made Iruka her lover and sex slave!" Raido dodged the senbon that was aimed for his temple. "I agree with her, but I'm dating Maya now, so I can't really snag Iruka for myself. He does look very nice in leather, doesn't he?" Raido dodged the little branch that Genma threw at him. "Anko has been babbling about how she wanted to pinch Iruka's butt over and over again because it was so cute!"

"If you had even the faintest trace of honor and decency in your hideously deformed gimp-mobile of a rat-runt's diseased carcass, you would immediately perform an act of ritual Hara-kiri by disemboweling yourself with a serrated Bowie knife while sitting in a pit of burning gasoline in attempted atonement for being such an asshole and so-called `understanding' friend." Genma snapped, the gates of the village coming to a closer view, but Raido ignored what he said and continued to yap away about what the Hokage told them.

Genma merely sighed as they entered the village with a babbling Raido beside him. He could have sworn that Raido's mouth was so big that he could eat a banana sideways.

Iruka entered the office, where Kakashi was reading his book, Gai talking to Asuma and Kurenai, Anko eating sweets and Genma playing poker with Raido with cookies as the stakes. Iruka merely gave them a polite greeting before bending and lifting the box off the ground that contained several folders that required his attention.

The box in his hand dropped with a loud thud and a very undignified squeal escaped his lips as he jumped back and placed his hands protectively on his backside. Anko stood in front of him, grinning.

"What a nice ass! It's so cute!" Anko gushed and quickly used her Jounin skills to get behind Iruka and give it another pinch and squeeze.

"Anko-san!" Iruka said, yelping and standing behind her. "It hurts!" He complained, rubbing it to soothe the pain of the aftermath of the pinching. He completely forgot that there was a nice audience watching the entire time. "Please stop doing that!"

"But Iruka-chan!" Anko whined. Then she gaped. "You mean you've never had your butt pinched or groped before? I am shocked! Who in their right minds would NOT want to grope it? It's SO cute!" Iruka frowned at what Anko said. Who in their right minds would WANT to grope it in the first place? "Hey Iruka, let's go out on a date."

"NO!" Genma stood up and glared fiercely at Anko.

Everyone who was watching Iruka get flustered about having his backside pinched and groped by a very happy Anko now turned to the seething Genma. Iruka quickly began to gather the folders and silently made his way out of the office and out of reach from Anko's wiggly hands, thankful for Genma's interruption.

Anko glared fiercely at Genma. "What do you mean, no?"

"I mean no." Genma said. "He's taken."

"By who? You?" Anko asked, raising an eyebrow. "I don't see any label on Iruka saying, property of Shiranui Genma! Do not touch! Kiss my ass, Genma." She said, voice rising up a bit.

"A person with a low IQ should have a low voice too." Genma said and this made Kakashi snigger and earn a nice roll of newspaper smack on his face.

"You looked very intelligent until you opened your mouth." Anko shot back hotly.

Raido sniggered and it quickly turned in to groan when Genma kicked him in the shins. "I've come across decomposed bodies that are less offensive that you are!" Genma retorted.

Anko twisted her lips. "You should be arrested for trying to impersonate a human being!"

The two began a battle of insults. Then it turned to into an impressive litany of profanity, obscenity and general paint-peeling vitriol. From cursing it went to name calling then went back to insulting each other's characters and then just randomly insulting anything or everything about each other. Asuma, Kurenai, Gai and Kakashi were very amused and actually made mental notes of the rather lovely insults that they found amusing coming from the two.

"You remind me of a lawn mower. You're hard to get started, emit foul odors and don't work half the time!" Genma hissed.

"Next time you shave, could you stand a little closer to the razor?" Anko asked sarcastically and kicked Asuma on the shins for sniggering.

"I get more pleasure from running my nostrils down a cactus than being with you!" Genma hissed back, whacking Kakashi on the head as he started to fall into fits of hilarity.

"You are the kind of person who, when one first meets you, one doesn't like you. But when one gets to know you better, one hates you." Anko said smartly, crossing her arms across her chest.

"You're so lazy, that if you woke up with nothing to do today, you'd go to bed with it only half done!" Genma snapped.

"You're so lazy, you don't walk in your sleep, you hitchhike!" Anko fired back. Genma was about to fire another insult but Anko made him stop dead when she asked him. "Is Genma-san jealous because I asked Iruka-chan to a date?"

Genma felt his blood run cold.

Was he?
