Chapter 6~Paranoia!

 

 

 

 

~~~It had been one week since the night at Stone Garden with the Anbu and Iruka was about ready to jump out of his skin and tear his hair out. He was getting really paranoid. Everyone he saw or who said hi to him, Iruka compared to the masked Anbu, trying to figure out if it was him. So far Iruka had not come up with anyone he thought might be the Anbu but that did not really mean anything since the Anbu he had slept with always spoke in a hushed husky whispered like voice, it could be anyone really. All he really knew was that his skin was paler than his own, he had nice lips but then again so did alot of the men around him. He was tall, taller than Iruka and from the little he had been able to feel briefly his hair was not really long but on the shorter side but that did not mean anything at all, there were others like him who had thier hair tied up, some who kept it down and many who just had short hair. He was begining to hate Anbu secrecy. The fact that the masked man had known him but he could not know who the Anbu was, was disconcerting.

 

"Hey Iruka..how have you been?" came the voice of Genma and Iruka jumped, having been lost in his thoughts, and the fact that Genma had not gone out of his way to really strike up any conversations with him since they had stopped seeing each other, till now that is. Iruka wondered if Genma was his secret Anbu.

 

"Hello Genma..I am fine, and you?" replied Iruka, focusing on the mans face, his pale skin and his lips and voice.

 

"I am better thank you...look Iruka?" Genma started, biting on his Senbon a bit in nervousness. This only added to Iruka's suspicions.

 

"Yes Genma?"

 

"Look, I wanted to apologize for how I have been behaving towards you lately...I was being childish and I am sorry that I behaved badly." stated Genma. Which only made Iruka more suspicious and confussed. Why was Genma apologizing now? And why was he doing it at all? He had all rights to not want to speak to Iruka in a mannor of friendship and only collegues, after the way Iruka had treated him, when Genma had only wanted for Iruka to care for him.

 

"What has changed Genma? I mean I am glad that you no longer hate me and all, but what has changed your mind all of a sudden?" Iruka asked with curiousity and sincere gratefullness. Genma smiled.

 

"I never hated you Iruka, I regret my bahavior, I realized that you did confess how you felt and what the rules to our relationship would be when we first began and I had agreed to your conditions, then when I felt they should change I expected you to change them for me, even when I already knew better...regardless of our past Iruka, I always admired you as a commarade, teacher and friend, I do not want to loose that because of my childish behavior." Genma confessed, his voice sincere. Iruka felt a part of his heart tingle with gratitude and affection.

 

"You are a kind and understanding man Genma and I am honored to be considered your friend again...thank you." Iruka replied, giving into the impulse to hug the other man briefly. Genma was a bit suprised and stiffened, but before Iruka could pull back he returned the hug and smiled down at his friend.

 

"I will alway be your friend Iruka." came Genma's whispered response. There was the sound of a slamming door behind them and they both jumped at the loud noise, but before either could react, thier intruder made themselves known.

 

"Get your filthy hands off of MY precious one!" came the annoying and demanding voice of Ebisu. Who pointed an accusing finger at Genma, face in an angry frown, which was not hidden by his sunglasses. Both Genma and Iruka sighed and rolled thier eyes.

 

"How many times do I have to tell you that I am NOT YOURS?!" shouted Iruka, turning to Ebisu and putting both hands on his hips, which many students and fellow teachers knew well as Iruka's angry pose.

 

"Do not be silly..of course you are and I will not have you pawed over by such a lazy man as Genma." Ebisu replied with utter confidence and a densness that grated on both mens nerves.

 

"Lazy? who the hell do you think you are calling lazy you loud mouthed arrogant prick?!" Genma shouted back getting into Ebisu's face and biting down on the Senbon still in his mouth. Both men glared at each other and Iruka sighed in frustration.

 

"Please Genma..Ebisu...behave yourselves, this is niether the place nor the time for harsh words or fighting." stated Iruka as he put himself between both men to make sure that niether started swinging.

 

"I will not be called names by THAT joke for a ninja!" hissed Genma, x shaped blood vessels popped up all over Ebisu's forehead at that.

 

"Joke am I? I am an elite ninja tutor..I am far greater than you and many others here you lazy silver haired freak and I will NOT be disrespected by you and I will not allow you to touch what is mine!" came Ebisu's angry retort. Now THIS got to Iruka.

 

"For FUCKS sake!!...how many times do I have to TELL you Ebisu that I AM NOT YOURS?!!....you do not own me, you do not have a place in my heart and what happened between us was a huge mistake!...now get that through your head and LEAVE ME BE!!" Iruka yelled, and before anyone could say another word there was a throat clearing sound and everyone turned around to see a lazy looking Kakashi sitting at the window sill with his Icha Icha Paradise book in one hands as the other laid lazily on his bent knee. He looked at the trio dully, but it was clear by the glint in his one visable eye that he was far from relaxed and as unconcerned as he looked.

 

"Kakashi?" said Genma, Iruka and Ebisu just looked at the man.

 

"Am I interrupting something here?...I could of sworn this was a classroom and not the training grounds." replied Kakashi smoothly and tired sounding, but again those were deceptive for a man of Kakashi's standards. One never underestimated Kakashi if you wanted to live.

 

"Was there something I could do for you Kakashi sensei?" Iruka asked tiredly as he rubbed his temple where a headache was starting to form.

 

"Yes, I have some information for you, but I did not know you were.....busy." answered Kakashi looking with one finely arched eyebrow that dissappreared into his head band as he looked at Genma and Ebisu.

 

"I will leave now Iruka, I have my own errands to attend to, I will see you later, goodbye Kakashi...and YOU?" Genma said pointing a finger to Ebisu.

 

"Stay away from me you prick or I will not be swayed to spare your life next time." Genma added with conviction, ignoring the look Ebisu shot at him as Genma waved at Iruka and Kakashi from behind as he left the room.

 

"Arrogant, lazy son of a.." began Ebisu but was cut off by Iruka.

 

"GET THE FUCK OUT EBISU!! AND DO NOT EVER COME NEAR ME AGAIN!" shouted Iruka in his angry teacher pose that had Ebisu shrinking back and looking very uncomfortable. He opened his mouth to speak, but was once again cut off.

 

"Ebisu? You have been asked to leave...do not embarrass yourself by saying anything else, and leave before I escort you out." stated Kakashi in a bored tone, but again everyone knew to heed the mans threats. But Ebisu being Ebisu he stood up straight, stuck his nose into the air and sniffed snobbishly.

 

"I will leave now, but not because of YOU Kakashi...I have saved MY Iruka from the hands of another, and accomplished my mission..Good day Kakashi, and Good day to you as well koibito." Ebisu said, his last remark aimed at Iruka, who only deflated and sighed with frustration as Ebisu walked out and closed the door behind him a bit harder than necessary. Iruka collapsed into his chair and sighed with relief and annoyance.

 

"You have the wierdest taste in lovers Iruka sensei...of all people I would have expected you to have more....taste." Kakashi stated blandly and Iruka shot him a murderous glare that just made Kakashi smile, if the muscles moving on his face underneath his mask proved anything.

 

"Who I take as a lover is no concern of yours Kakashi!" gritted Iruka angerly, the seemingly grin under the mask only pissed Iruka off more.

 

"True. Genma I could understand on some certain level but Ebisu? What in God's name were you thinking? Were you desperate little dolphin?" Kakashi asked in a teasing voice that only infuriated Iruka more. Iruka was about to pop a blood vessel at the little dolphin crack as well.

 

"What the HELL is your problem Kakashi?!...all you have ever done is make fun of me and berate me!..why?! are you so childish as to keep my worries about the chuunin exams from long ago against me for this long?!...grow UP!...and never call me little dolphin EVER again!" Iruka asked and shouted at the same time. Kakashi did not look phased by the outburst. He turned a page on his book and read a few sentences before looking back up at Iruka's beet red face. It was no blush but anger that colored his face.

 

"Tch...I do not hold childish grudges, If I was angry with you and wished you harm I would of killed you...I do not hold grudes of ANY kind well...as for making fun of you? berating you? A true Ninja does not let such trivial things like teasing affect them...makes me wonder how someone so sensitive could of taught the rookie nine." came Kakashi's taunting, and Iruka would of been suspicious of Kakashi as his masked Anbu, except for two things. Everyone referred to said students as the rookie nine, and Kakashi was thee last person on earth that would take Iruka to bed and be so gentle about it. No Iruka did not worry that it was Kakashi who was his masked Anbu. Kakashi felt nothing but contempt for him and Iruka had to admit, that even if he did admire the man, he did not LIKE him as a person at ALL and would never willingly go to the mans bed.

 

"Fuck OFF Kakashi!" came Iruka's furious retort.

 

"Fine, I only came to tell you that I heard that Jiraiya and Naruto were headed back to Konoha and should be back soon...but since you do not care to hear what day they will arrive...." Kakashi let it hang as he put his book away and moved as if to leave. Hearing Naruto's name bought Iruka back to his senses, he missed his hearts son.

 

"WAIT!....please...." Iruka shouted in panic. Kakashi stopped and looked at Iruka with a raised brow and a lazy look. Iruka wished he could kick the arrogant joonins ass.

 

"Please what?" taunted Kakashi.

 

"Please...tell me when Naruto will return...I...I have missed him." Iruka replied with gritted teeth, being complacent, but hating the silver haired joonin for making him do this.

 

"Regardless of what you may think Iruka, I came here with all intentions of telling you of Naruto's return, I did not come here to make you angry." Kakashi sighed as he sat back down on the window sill.

 

"Then why do you do so? Why do you insist on teasing me like this?" Iruka asked with a tired tone, a defeated one.

 

"Because your so easy to rile up...its your fault really, you should not let meaningless taunts and teasings get to you Iruka, anger is a Ninja's worst enemy...if you allow an opponant to use words to get you riled then you make yourself vulnerable, and risk your life as well as those of any team mates you may have with you." came Kakashi's logical response, logical to Kakashi anyway.

 

"Fine...I do not wish to discuss this now, I just want to know about Naruto." came Iruka's tired reply.

 

"From my sources, he and Jiraiya will arrive in Konoha in two days..from what I've been told he is well, healthy and fit."

 

"Thank you Kakashi."

 

"Sure....and by the way...I miss Naruto too." stated Kakashi as he dissappeared through the window in a flash of black and green and silver. Iruka just slumped further in his chair and sighed loudly. At least the paranoia over who his masked Anbu was, had been pushed from his mind for the time being. All Iruka could think of is how good it would be to see his Naruto again. It had been so long, he could not wait to see him and speak with him once more. The village had been far to quiet and dull since Naruto's departure over two years ago. He would not admit it to anyone but he was looking forward to having Konoha shook up again by its number one most loudest and hyperactive ninja once again. Iruka chuckled at his thoughts and smiled a true smile, the first one in a long time.
