Rating: R
Genre(s): Romance
Pairing(s): Iruka/Kakashi, mention of Iruka/OC
Summary: Iruka does something incredibly stupid (as he sees it) to
Kakashi and has to deal with the fallout. Now with plot.
Chapter Summery: Kakashi decides to question Naruto for information on
Iruka, when he gets an unexpected glimpse into Iruka past by another of
the friends, bringing to light some unexpected things.
Warnings: Yaoi. Seme Iruka (that’s rare). Original characters. And a
plot has developed! That’s all for now I think.
Disclaimer: I don’t own them though I wish I did. So Naruto is not
mine.
Author's Note: I brought in four more OC’s. Shigure and Kana Yorishi,
their daughter Midori, and Aya, Iruka’s estranged wife. No worries, Aya
and Iruka’s relationship ended a long time ago on a very bitter note.
There is no chance that they will ever get back together. Also on the
name Yorishi, I just threw some letters together for a Japanese
sounding name and I got that. Whatcha think?

Kakashi sat on the low wall and frowned thoughtfully down at his
unopened copy of ‘Itcha Itcha Paradise.’ The events of the day before
were unusual to say the least. He had never expected Iruka to be that
aggressive. Kakashi shifted trying to get comfortable despite his
aching muscles. The floor had been very hard on him, leaving him with a
general overall ache. ‘Although it had been fun getting those aches.’
Kakashi thought with a sudden grin, ‘He didn’t have to kick me out so
fast though. We could have moved somewhere softer and had more fun.
Iruka did look cute when he was horrified though.’
“Ne, Kakashi-sensei what’s up with you? You sick or something?” Naruto
asked interrupting his line of thought.
“I’m fine. What makes you think I’m sick?” Kakashi asked looking over
at Naruto curiously.
“’Cause you’re not reading that book of yours. You’ve just been sitting
there staring at it. What wrong?” Naruto looked concerned at his
teacher. Nothing had ever gotten to Kakashi before that he had seen.
“Nothing’s wrong really. I just found out something unexpected
yesterday is all, and I’m not sure what to make of it.” Kakashi said
wryly before a thought occurred to him. “Ne, Naruto?”
“Yeah?” Naruto looked at Kakashi wondering what he wanted.
“What do you know about Iruka-sensei? I mean other than what everyone
else knows.” Kakashi watched Naruto closely as the boy thought over his
question.
“Ano…not much really. Iruka-sensei’s actually pretty private. I’ve met
a couple of his friends and they seem to be okay, if a bit weird. But
then again they’re jounin so I guess that’s normal. Although his
roommates the worst of them.” Naruto said as he sat down on the ground
in front of Kakashi.
“His roommate? I didn’t know he had one.”
“Oh yeah. Total weirdo named Rei. I guess he’s a good fighter though
you can’t tell most of the time with how he acts.”
“How’s that?”
“Well for one he always asks questions. About everything. Once he asked
me if I ever considered dyeing my hair green.”
“Green?”
“Yeah. Apparently I remind him of what Iruka-sensei had been like and
he had done that once. I didn’t believe him until he showed me a
picture of Iruka-sensei like that. But other than him asking questions
he has a weird fear of hummingbirds. He completely flips out when he
sees one. According to him it’s because nothing that small should have
that long a tongue.” Naruto grinned in remembrance of watching Rei
being chased by a swarm of determined hummingbirds after he
accidentally got covered in caramel.
“Iruka has a friend that is constantly questions and that’s afraid of
hummingbirds?” Kakashi asked making sure he had that straight.
“Yup. Rei-san’s okay though, although he does have a bit of a temper
where Iruka-sensei’s involved. He’s really overprotective of him.
Something happened to Iruka-sensei when he was younger.” Naruto frowned
down at his lap. “All they will say is that they won’t let Iruka-sensei
get hurt like that again.”
“They?”
“Well there’s Rei-kun, who I told you about, then there’s Kana-san and
Shigure-san. Kana-san’s just as weird as Rei-kun. She wears bright
colors whenever she’s not in uniform, has a weird obsession with
candles, and is always spying on people. I think she knows just about
everything that goes on in Konoha. She can tell some really nasty jokes
too.” Naruto said with a wide grin.
“And she tells them to you?” Kakashi asked slightly surprised that
Iruka would allow that. “Iruka-sensei doesn’t say anything about it?”
“Well according to Iruka-sensei Rei-kun and Kana-san have ‘the
collective intelligence of fourteen-year-old spoiled brat.’ So yeah,
they’re pretty funny though.”
“So that’s Kana. What about Shigure?”
“Well Shigure’s a goth. Very heavily goth. The only time he doesn’t
wear black is when he loses a bet or he’s in his jounin uniform.”
Naruto said grinning again.
“I hardly think I’m that bad, Naruto.” A slightly amused soft voice
came from their right. Kakashi turned he head to look and was surprised
by what he saw. The man who was obviously Shigure was only 5’4” with
long black hair that was hanging in front of his face covering one of
his violet eyes that were lined in kohl, and brushing against black
lips. The black turtleneck and unbuttoned black silk shirt were both
made for someone bigger than him by several sizes. Although his black
jeans did fit they were obviously old and often worn seeing as there
were several holes in them, although he oddly enough went barefoot. His
fair skin and delicate features made him even more androgynous then his
choice of clothes or size would have otherwise made him. In fact one of
the very few purely masculine things about him was his voice that
managed to surprise Kakashi with it softly spoken baritone while he was
looking at him. The voice did not match the package before him. “After
all, I always wear my head protector, ne, even if I wear it around my
arm.” he said as he tapped the aforementioned item on his left bicep
with a black fingernail.
“Shigure! What are you doing here?” Naruto asked jumping up and giving
the diminutive man a hug.
“I came to find you. And since I was told that you had a mission
cleaning this park you were not that hard to find.” Shigure replied
with a slight smile tugging at his lips as he teased. “So why are you
talking about me, my dear future son-in-law?”
“Son-in-law? What? Naruto, you’re married?” Sakura asked only catching
the last bit as she walked up with Sasuke.
“No I’m not married! Shigure-san, stop calling me that!” Naruto growled
at Shigure. “You know that’s how rumors get started.
“Well Midori did say she’s going to marry you. There’s really nothing
more to be said. She takes after her mother after all, and Kana
informed me very seriously that she would marry me when she became a
jounin. Now we have a daughter. It’s no use to fight, Iruka even
approved of it.” Shigure said before chuckling at the look on Naruto’s
face. “Don’t worry, that won’t happen for a long time yet. Midori’s
only four after all.”
“That’s not the point!” Naruto yelled annoyed at Shigure’s teasing.
‘Why does Iruka-sensei have to have such weird friends? And do they all
have to tease me so much?’
“Ne, Shigure-san, you said you were looking for Naruto? Why was that?”
Kakashi asked breaking in on Naruto’s tirade, effectively cutting it
off.
“I have a message for him.” Shigure raised his violet eyes to Kakashi
and all the laugher drained out of him, leaving his eyes like mirrors.
“So you’re Hatake Kakashi, formerly of the Anbu squad.”
“Yes. And you are? Other than one of Iruka’s friends that is.” Kakashi
asked eyeing the man warily.
“Yorishi Shigure.” Shigure tilted his head as he studied Kakashi
revealing that he wore unusual earring in his right ear that were the
strands of silver that ended at different lengths with little crosses.
“Well you do seem to fit his type.” Shigure finally said humor
returning to his face.
“Anou sa, anou sa... what are you talking about Shigure-san?” Naruto
asked confused by the byplay between the two adults. “What type?”
“Exotic.” Shigure said staring into Kakashi’s eyes before dropping them
to Naruto again. “Iruka sent me to tell you he can’t have dinner with
you today.”
“What? Why?” Naruto asked worried for his former teacher.
“Is he sick?” Sakura asked hoping that, that wasn’t it.
“No, unfortunately. If he were I wouldn’t be so worried.” Shigure
finished in a whisper as he turned his head to stare off in the
distance.
“What’s wrong then?” Sasuke demanded bluntly.
Shigure’s eye’s turned back to Sasuke calculating. He didn’t answer
until he formed some sort of internal decision, “How much can I trust
you with? I need to know now. Iruka is very... private. Although I do
admit that it was unconscious training on our behalf that he is that
way.”
“What’s wrong?” Naruto asked really worried now.
“I will answer as soon as I have their answers.” Shigure said seriously
his eyes running over the other three.
“I won’t tell if it’s important.” Sakura said truly worried about what
was going on with Iruka.
“Hn. Who would I tell?” Sasuke said wryly.
“I won’t speak of what you say.” Kakashi agreed putting away his unread
book.
Shigure nodded his head, “Now listen, Iruka is very fanatical about his
privacy. Only a handful of people actually know anything about him,
that he doesn’t choose to show the general public. You know what he was
like in his teens?” Shigure asked quietly his eyes constantly scanning
the area to make sure no one came to close.
“He was a prankster right?” Naruto asked wondering what that had to do
with anything.
“Indeed. You ever wonder how a prankster can go from that to such a
responsible adult? Oh, it would happen eventually, but not so quickly.
Not for those that are as attention starved as he was. See, when we
were seventeen, he found what he needed to grow up. He met his future
wife.”
“He’s married?” Sakura asked shocked. “Why didn’t I know that? He was
my teacher for several years.”
“By the point he met her he had already learned that he valued his
privacy above almost anything. Which was probably a good thing all
things considered. His future wife Aya met him at our chuunin exams,
she was from the Hidden Mist Village. She was a very lovely young
woman. The started talking the day before the exams and fell rather
passionately in love.”
“That’s so romantic!” Sakura exclaimed starry-eyed.
“Indeed. They married within two months in fact. They worked together
remarkably well, when they weren’t being sickeningly cute that is.
Unfortunately over time they discovered that they really didn’t like
each other personally, but they decided to stick it out because they
did still love each other. Unfortunately that made it worse, over time
their resentment towards each other built up and they started to get
into some rather vicious fights, but even then they still wouldn’t
divorce. Eventually after they had been married almost three years they
started taking on lovers.” Shigure sighed softly at the old memories.
“Iruka-sensei cheated on his wife?” Sakura asked horrified at the
thought that he would dishonor his wife that way.
“You have to understand that Iruka was only twenty, married to a woman
that he couldn’t be in the same room with without resorting to physical
violence out of frustration of the situation that he was trapped in.
I’m not saying he beat Aya, actually she gave as good as she got. I
don’t think during the entire two years they spent like that either of
them went without fresh bruises, scrapes, or cuts. That sad thing was
though they hated the very sight of each other they still loved each
other as much as they ever did. And you have to remember I said both of
them were taking on lovers.”
“What happened? They obviously don’t live together anymore. I’ve been
to his place a lot, and the only woman I ever see there is Kana-san,
and she doesn’t count.” Naruto was enthralled in the story.
“They separated when we were twenty-four they finally separated. She
went back to her village, and he stayed here in Konoha. Which brings me
to why I was sent to cancel his plans for the next couple days. Aya
came to see him an hour ago.” Shigure shrugged. “That’s about it. I’m
playing messenger, while Rei keeps them from killing each other, which
in her condition is a bad thing, and Kana watches Midori.”
“What condition?” Sakura asked confused by his phrasing.
“Aya’s pregnant. About seven months.” Shigure shook his head, “I’m not
sure why she risked it. Look I have to go, I got to go tell some people
not to expect him for at least the next day, then I’m going home to my
wife. Naruto, you can come over for dinner if you want. Nice to meet
you three finally.” With a last nod in their direction he turned and
left heading for the Academy.
“Bye, Shigure-san.” Naruto called before a thought occurred to him.
“Mou, do you think the baby’s Iruka-sensei’s?”
“It’s not our business.” Sasuke said with a shrug.
“What did he mean by her risking it? Seeing Iruka-sensei, or having the
baby?” Sakura asked frowning in thought though she felt sad for how
things turned out between Iruka and Aya and wished that things would
turn out okay for them.
“Well, now that’s story times over and you three finished your mission
we’re done for the day. You can go. Meet me at the bridge tomorrow at
five.” Kakashi said before leaving abruptly.

Sunset found Kakashi at his apartment sitting down to his own dinner as
he turned over what he had learned of Iruka that day from his talkative
friend. “Exotic, huh. Interesting, I wonder what will happen next.”
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Ending Notes: I’m not sure if I’m going to have Aya’s baby be Iruka’s,
although it is the reason that she finally came to see him. Shigure is
a Anbu with goth tendencies, Kana a Jounin who loves brightness and a
good dirty joke, and Midori is four with a huge crush on Naruto who
she’s met a few times. Aya is at least Chuunin, though she might be of
higher rank, I haven’t decided yet. Anyway, I would love to have any
votes on what you think I should do with Aya cause I know how her part
in the story will end but not much more at the moment. I would also
like to know if I kept the actual cannon characters in character or
not. Sorry but I haven’t quite got a good enough grasp of the cannon
yet. Oh and one fast question to those who read my end notes, should I
eventually make Iruka a Jounin? Also does anyone know if they actually
tell who was in Iruka’s Gennin cell? I’m mostly just curious.
