Title: Opposites (will probably be changed) Rating: PG15 Fandom: Naruto Pairing: Kakashi/Iruka Chapter: 3 Summery: Opposites attract, right? But what if you have more in common with this 'opposite' than you originally though
Kakashi had made sure his book was safely put away in his pocket, so no nasty chuunins could endanger its life again. Though Kakashi was rather upset about the near killing of his book he was also quite proud of Iruka. So the stories he’d heard of Konoha’s sweet chuunin were true, the man had been a brat as a child.
Though if Iruka was going to fight back, Kakashi would never loose his job and he’d be stuck watching brats throw sharp objects around till the cows came home.
He had to put Iruka on his last nerve, more than the kids do, more than he does when he hands in his mission statement ruined, he needed to go big.
But then again. Kakashi faltered in his thinking, he didn’t want to kill the guy, just annoy him to no end so he could go back to waiting for a mission in peace, not pieces.

Iruka had made it home in quite a good mood, after the little ‘incident’ involving Kakashi’s book he had backed off and had spent the rest of the class actually helping Iruka show the children how to throw the shuriken correctly.
Iruka’s good mood dampened a little as he fished around in his pocket for his keys. Sighing Iruka put his bag on the floor and began to empty his pockets onto his door mat but only found lint and a handful of grass (how on earth did that get there?).
Feeling quite annoyed at this point Iruka then emptied his bag but only found his bento box and a few spare pens but still no keys.
After putting everything back in his bag he then stood back up and looked up at the sky, as if it had the answer. It didn’t.
He knew there was no point in trying to break into his house, he was a ninja and had been trained to leave no weak spots. Not to mention he’d spent years trying to keep Naruto out on weekends, some people liked to sleep in ya know.
So with no other choice Iruka bent down once more and began to check through his things again.
Iruka had searched his bag and pockets (he had even checked his bento box) but had come out empty handed once more, he had made his way back to the school, hoping he’d find them on the floor somewhere and would be able to go home and just rest.
No such luck. Iruka had looked everywhere he had been today after leaving the academy and there was still no sign of his keys. Even after groveling in the dirt for a good twenty minutes Iruka was now not only key-less but also covered in dirt. Now beyond annoyed Iruka slouched back to his home and slumped down on his door mat with a sigh.
A clap of thunder woke Iruka from his broodings, and the down pour of rain couldn’t have picked a better time to start.
Iruka turned his head skyward and glared at the sky as if it was at fault for the loss of his keys; well it wasn’t like it was helping either.

Kakashi was feeling better now that he’d had a spot to eat and was already on his way home. As he walked a jingle of many keys echoed along with his footsteps as he swung a set of keys back and forth from his finger.
He was now wondering if Iruka had just broken into his own house or had actually gone looking for his missing keys. Probably the latter, though Kakashi with a small chuckle. Iruka seemed the type that when he misplaced something he’d look for it, rather than take the easy way out and find the easiest way to do without it.
It had already started to rain and Kakashi thanked the gods that he knew how to tell what the days weather was going to be like, and had predicted rain. He had brought an umbrella with him which quickly went up the moment the rain had started.
Wondering what he was going to do tomorrow, it being the weekend and all, Kakashi stepped over a puddle and looked around, trying to think of somewhere he might go, or someone he could go see.
All thoughts left his head when he spotted the one and only Iruka Umino, sitting on his sopping wet door mat, soaked to the bone.
Kakashi looked around hesitantly then trekked over to the chuunin’s front door.
“Yo” he said, leaning slightly to place his own umbrella over the chuunin’s head.
Iruka looked up and squinted up at Kakashi, “hi” he said lamely as drops of cold water ran down his nose.
“I found these” said Kakashi, holding up a ring of keys which glinted slightly, as though they were treasure. Kakashi guessed they would seem like it to Iruka at the moment.
Iruka looked from the keys to the jounin, and then smiled. “Thank you!” he said enthusiastically as he picked himself up off the floor once more and took the keys, his hands shaking slightly as he did so.
Oh boy did Kakashi feel guilty, he had thought Iruka would have found some way into the house, and would had done it before the rain had even started. Not sat outside in the rain like some pathetic homeless dog. Kakashi liked dogs though.
Iruka took a while to unlocked his front door as his hands were shaking pretty badly now but when he did finally open the door he sighed happily and stepped into the warm house, ushering for Kakashi to follow as he unzipped his soaking wet shoes and placed them by the door.
Kakashi again looked around, feeling really quite guilty and that he should probably just leave, Iruka was fine now after all.
But against his better judgment Kakashi folded up his umbrella and followed Iruka into the house.

Iruka was already boiling a little black kettle when Kakashi entered. “Help yourself” said Iruka as he moved out of the room quite quickly.
Kakashi shrugged and began to make himself some tea then as an after decided he’d make Iruka some coffee, though the smell made Kakashi’s nose wrinkle up in disgust. He still had no idea why Iruka even liked the stuff.
Hoping Iruka only took one sugar Kakashi picked up both mugs and went searching for the missing chuunin.
“Yo Iruka-sensei I got you-“ Kakashi made a wild movement to catch both cups before they made it to the floor, and then, against his own will of course, looked back up with wide eyes only to have a door slammed in his face.
Kakashi, having already forgotten that Iruka had been soaking wet, had only wanted to take the man his coffee to warm him up, and had not expected to see the chuunin, rather naked, trying to pull on a dry pair of pants in the middle of his bedroom which Kakashi had just tried to enter.
Did he ever tell you he had really good timing? Like the rain.
Standing there holding two slightly dripping cups of hot liquid, Kakashi continued to gawk at the closed door, the sounds of a very embarrassed Iruka slamming every draw he opened and muttering to himself about lack of privacy in his own house.
Finally Kakashi’s mind came back to him, and he turned, taking himself and the dripping cups back to the kitchen where he placed them on the sink and proceeded to wipe them dry.
Ha had just seen Iruka-sensei naked. He was quite sure not many people got to see that, and then vaguely wondered why that sounded as though he was proud.
---
It wasn’t long after Iruka emerged from his bedroom, still rather red looking, not to mention he could no longer look Kakashi in the eye, while Kakashi kept his eyes on Iruka’s face.
“Here” said Kakashi finally breaking the silence as he placed Iruka still hot cup of coffee on the dinning table. Iruka sat down and took the mug, then hid his face behind it.
The corners of Kakashi’s mouth twitched, there were so many things he could say right now that would have Iruka madly blushing and throwing anything in reach at him, there was even black mail. Yes, a good ‘if you don’t ask Tsunade-sama to take me off the job I’ll tell everyone you’ve got a small-‘ Kakashi reasoned that he was the reason Iruka had been locked out of his home in the first place and had been caught in the rain which was why he was wet and needed to change, and it really wouldn’t be very fair ruining the chuunin like that.
Also Kakashi didn’t want people to this he was a perver- well he didn’t want people to think he snuck into peoples home to catch them naked.
Not to mention ‘it’ really wasn’t THAT small.
Kakashi wasn’t sure if it had ever happened before but he blushed. Thankfully Iruka was still trying to hide and he still had his mask on so its wasn’t so bad.
Clearing his throat Kakashi sat down across from Iruka and began tapping his fingers on the side of his tea cup. “So uh, you hear from Naruto much?” he said, hoping Iruka would take the bait.
It worked.
“Um, every week usually, unless he’s really busy of course” said Iruka, his eyes appearing over the rim of his mug.
“How’s he doing?” Kakashi pushed to keep the conversation going, he had to work with this man, and it wouldn’t do good to have them both blush furiously every time they looked at each other.
“Oh, good. Yes he’s really enjoying his training with Jiraiya-sama.” Iruka placed his cup on the coaster in front of him.
Kakashi nodded, glad that at least Iruka wasn’t still trying to hide behind a mug a quarter the size of his head.
“And to think you didn’t want him to do the chuunin exam” said Kakashi as he took a sip of his tea before realizing that probably wasn’t the smartest thing to say.
Iruka’s eyes flicked up to look at Kakashi and it didn’t take a genius to notice he looked mad.
“And a great lot that did them!” Iruka’s timid voice had suddenly rose, “Look what happened to Sasuke!”
Kakashi shook his head, “You’re not their father Iruka, and they’re not children anymore. They’re ninja and they chose to sign to take the chuunin exam.”
Iruka scowled but lowered his head once more.
“Anyway, you’re more like a mother” said Kakashi off handedly and then ducked quickly to miss the coaster being thrown at his head.
Kakashi had laughed and had picked up the coaster, though was wary about handing it back over to Iruka. Its not like he meant to insult the man, it just happened.
Kakashi took note to call Iruka ‘mother hen’ when ever he could, if only to see Iruka’s look out raged at being called a women.
Anyway Kakashi wasn’t a ninja for nothing, he could dodge anything Iruka threw at him, whether they be insult or something more solid.
I dunno about you but I laughed XD. -hugs Iruka- I always think of him as the mum, being all bossy and all that jazz. Kakashi can be daddy and they came make lots of tea and coffee together. So cute.
Anywho let me know watcha think!
