Warning: Silly Fic.
PART TWO
Iruka ran then transported himself to a secret hiding place that he only knew about from his years as a child. A secret hiding place he had never shared with or shown to anyone else before.
There he sat in thought and pondered. He still had Shibi Aburame's kunai and a couple of explosive tags he could use for his special "Bite of the Dragon –Incineration" technique. That might work. He brightened for a moment but that blasted Love Bug had other secrets of his own more of his "Shield of Love" and nothing could standup to that.
That Bug had been chasing him for years. What had Iruka ever done to deserve such a fate?
"Who needs love?" he asked darkly. "I know I don't. What did love ever do for me? What good was love? Where was it when I really had need of it?" he growled and stabbed the kunai into the forest floor. He loved a lot of people and he knew they liked him in return but not the kind of love the Love Bug liked to spread around. That kind of love was chaos and out of control, it was the kind of thing that brought nations to its knees. Iruka didn't need that kind of love.
"Poor Kakashi." He sighed. "Whammied to hell and back, how many arrows was that any way? Three? Five? A dozen? Poor fool."
"A fool in love with you." Said a voice of doom.
Iruka screamed like a girl and dashed out from his hiding place at a dead run he then transported himself to another hiding place.
"Forget it Ru-Ru." cried Kakashi. "You can't get away from me. I have a pack of ninja dogs at my beck and call. I'll hunt you down and woo you, my love." He screamed.
Iruka scowled. "We'll see about that." He smirked and was instantly in the safety of Moreno Ibiki's home. No one, Love Bug or a love sick shinobi would dare tress pass on Ibiki's property without permission. Lucky for Iruka he had an open invitation.
"Hello Big Brother Ibiki." Iruka smiled brightly, somehow he was able to bring off the innocent look quite well and convincingly.
Ibiki sighed, let his coffee cup slowly makes its progress back down to the waiting kitchen table, breakfast was set aside and his newspaper put down. "Hello Iruka. It's a very early morning for you to be out in your birthday suit."
Iruka blushed then giggled embarrassed. He borrowed one of Ibiki's old uniforms, still a might big on him and he had to roll up the pants legs to fit around his ankles. The pants hung off his hips enticingly. The shirt barely clung to his shoulders. He looked rather slinky and attractive in a messy kind of morning way.
"I hear the Love Bug has made an early appearance." Said Ibiki while preparing another warm mug of coffee for himself and for his "foster" "little brother" Iruka.
Iruka's dark look told him it was true. Ibiki shook his head and sighed. "This is really causing a problem Iruka. Maybe you should just give in. Love can be a wonderful thing."
"Save the lecture Bro." snapped Iruka for a moment his young punk spunk attitude made a revival.
Only to die a quick ruthless death at the hands of Ibiki's scowl, "Stow the attitude, Ru-chan."
Hastily Iruka took a sip of his coffee and sat down at the breakfast table, swiping bits of scrambled egg and pastry, nibbling cutely.
"Please do help yourself, have my breakfast." Smiled Ibiki in spite of a slight irritation at the actions of his little brother he couldn't help but be indulgent. Iruka was so cute.
After a little bit of eating and silence Iruka then looked sadly at the table and began to draw little doodles with his finger tip.
"What do I do Ibiki-niisan?"
"The Love Bug can't be killed Iruka. It's a necessary evil in life." Replied Ibiki.
Before they could venture into another debate there was a loud noise at the door.
"Ru-Ru! I know you're in there!" sang out Kakashi. "My pack dogs tell me you're inside. And Ibiki with you." Then suddenly Kakashi's tone changed as he started to frantically pound on the door. "You haven't left me for Ibiki-Moreno-Sama have you? Tell me it's not True Ru-Ru!" screamed the upset jounin, ex-ANBU. "Tell me it's not true!" he sobbed wretchedly, screamed desperately. "Please, give me another chance."
Ibiki sighed. "Are you going to go out there and face that troubled soul or what?"
Iruka glowered at his big brother figure then stood up from the table and walked purposefully to the door and opened it.
"What the Hell, Kakashi?" He roared. "Stop embarrassing yourself."
Kakashi glared at the chunin but felt instead blood gush from both nostrils and fix him to the spot he kneeled in. Iruka was a dream, a sex god, he was more beautiful than anyone alive or dead. He looked like he'd just come away from sex. Kakashi knew he would die to have Iruka for his lover. He'd fight Ibiki for Iruka's love.
"Ibiki! How dare you touch my Iruka!" He roared. "I challenge you!" As Chidori came to screeching life Iruka kicked Kakashi in the face. Then hissed. "Get a life." Then the door was slammed back into the door jam on Kakashi's prostrate form.
Those cold cruel words of disgust were like kunai stabbing the distraught jounin in the heart.
"My Ru-Ru." He whimpered. "So cruel, so heartless." He sobbed.
Confetti burst into colorful life around Kakashi as both the Love Bug and its accomplice, Cupid, showed up.
Kakashi looked at them with a hang dog expression. He was entirely love sick.
The Love Bug had a disturbing wide smile on its Beatle face. It sparkled in the fashion of Kakashi's fearsome rival the green beautiful beast of Konohagure, Maito Gai. Kakashi gulped back his tears as manfully as he could and he tried to inch away from the bug and its companions. He felt a trickle of unease as that smile seemed only to get more wide and sparkly.
Ibiki pushed and shoved then dragged Iruka out of his house.
"You can't keep running forever Iruka, face the Love Bug and embrace the life of love you deserve." Then it was Ibiki's turn to slam the door on Iruka. "Get this rabble out of my yard… or else." He growled as a last warning to all.
Iruka was sexy in Ibiki's loose fitting oversized clothes. His hair long and loose and gently swaying in the rising breeze. Even the scowl that graced his lovely countenance could not detract from his beauty. Iruka scowled darkly and resentfully at the house that had rejected him then he scowled at the beatle, cupid, Kakashi, and the rest of Konoha who showed up to watch this spectacle.
"Well you all heard Ibiki, why don't you all scatter already." He ordered with a raised voice but not a shout or scream. As the beatle and cupid tried to throw confetti and good cheer at Iruka, Iruka signed a new seal and breathed out a command. "Feathers of the Phoenix Flame - Burn Eternally, never go out as ash, only to rise again, and again, into eternal flame!"
The confetti as well as twigs and leaves began to dance around the two bearers of good Will and Love taking on flames of bright burning orange. The shinobi with any sort of good sense scattered as the flames sparkled around them like fire crackers, only the fire crackers didn't stop burning.
The Love Bug sang another song of love, bouquets of carnations in the colors of pinks, whites, and reds fluttered in the air now also taking on flame but the Love Bug was not yet defeated. It continued to sing a song of love until each and every orange flame was doused and did not make a return making it a lie of its phoenix name.
Iruka cried out like a wounded animal and shuttered. Iruka then continued his attack on the Love Bug. "Bite of the Dragon – Incinerate!" he screamed. Kunai with explosive tags flew unerringly towards the Love Bug and Company.
The love bug dodged the attack and let another wave of moving lyrics and sonnets of poetry rise in a chant of shielding love.
Kakashi whimpered and hugged Iruka's leg. Iruka stood panting breathing hard and bent over his knees still defiant not yet brought to his knees.
"You put up a good fight Iruka Umino-Sensei. But this year is your year for love and I, the Love Bug, will see to it personally that you shall have true love! Waterfall of serenity, of eternal quenching love, tame this ones flames and heal his burnt heart."
Iruka screamed as he was hit by the full force of the Love Bug and Cupid's unerring arrows. He staggered and fell against Kakashi on the spongy grass.
It was strange this feeling. It hurt and yet it felt strangely wonderful. He looked into Kakashi's eyes and felt his breath catch as it never had before. He found he could smile. He reached out with gentle shaking hands and felt tears come to his eyes.
"Kakashi." He whispered in awe.
Kakashi smiled in return. "my Iruka." He murmured and reached out for Iruka's face. A thumb stroke gently over the tears and wiped them away.
"Oh Kakashi mine." Iruka whispered. "I think." He breathed shakily. "I think I..love..you."
Their faces had slowly closed in on one another till their noses touched and then their lips sealed all other words. Lips and tongue speaking for them both speaking the words of devotion that Iruka couldn't yet voice but could feel with all of his poor besieged heart.
Kakashi wept for joy then teleported the two of them directly to his bedroom where they soon made torrid, sweaty, passionate, loud and consuming love to one another for hours.
The poor neighbors would later chip in to by the loud couple a home at the edge of the city and as far away from their neighbors as possible so that they would have complete privacy for every carnal act they would perform on one another for the rest of their lives together.
The Love Bug dropped its guise and instead showed a couple of genin and an old sennin a familiar person, in the form of Ebisu. "I told you." He said arrogantly. "I am a special ninja, nothing is past my abilities."
Naruto scowled and thumped the man. "Closet Pervert."
Sakura beamed. "Its wonderful! Its so wonderful. Iruka really deserves to be happy."
Sasuke's only comment was. "hmn."
Jeraiya laughed his head off and looked to Tsunade as she scraped up what little bit of money she had in her purse and a note for an I-O-U.
"But then who was Cupid?" asked Naruto suddenly very curious.
"I don't know, I have never asked him. He shows up only when a special assignment comes up that's soul goal is the furthering of love." Replied Ebisu, tears springing to his shade covered eyes. Cupid was a mystery within a mystery and a man to be respected whose soul goal in life was to further the causes of love.
THE END
P.S: Cupid was really Cupid, Aphrodiaety's son and the God of Love. ;D LOL
