Beta: Awesomeness called xNaruNejiGaaraFanGirlx. (B/N; you make me blush…)

Summary: Iruka hears of Naruto's new sensei, his mind becoming engulfed with questions as to why the Jounin makes him feel like he's in love. While Kakashi sees this as an opportunity.

"I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!! I'M A GENIN NOW!!-" Iruka looked over at his crazed blond student with a smile on his face, a small part of him feeling sad from not seeing the blond in his classroom any more, a bigger part of him was glad he was rid of the obnoxious brat though. Bright blue eyes pulled the man out of his thought, a bead of sweat rolling down the side of his face from the strange look he was getting.

"Naruto-kun..You know it's rude to stare.." Naruto eyed up his teacher a little more and then looked forward.

"Well you wasn't listening to me.." Iruka gave an apologetic smile to the blond when Naruto turned to look at him once more. "..So what were you thinking about sensei?" Scratching the scar on his nose Iruka looked around the street.

"I..I was thinking of how happy I am for you and how I'm going to miss teaching you.." Iruka slyly looked over at the blond who was beaming a smile.

"..Don't you worry sensei!! You will see me so much more now! After all who else would I want to eat ramen with other than you?" Iruka's face dropped a little, his brown brow twitching slightly.

I should have guessed..Lifting up the material as he entered the Ramen stand, Iruka watched the sun kissed boy take a seat and order up his bowl.

It's amazing how Naruto's team managed to pass...Hatake Kakashi....Why does it feel so weird when I hear his name? Familiar some how..

"Iruka-sensei?" Realizing that his bowl of ramen was in front of him Iruka gave a small smile over at the blond, his brow twitching when he saw Naruto's chop sticks taking the pork from his ramen, giving a sheepish grin the blond retracted his hand away from his sensei's ramen and picked up his own pork and noodles.

"Haha…Need to learn how to take some thing without someone noticing I see Naruto.." The blond's face dropped as he gazed at his sensei, Iruka grinning cheekily and rustling the blond's spiky hair.

"Well Kakashi-sensei seems awfully strong, so don't you worry, I'll learn everything I need to!!" The brown haired Chunin nodded slowly, his brown eyes taking in the young boy's cheerful beam of a smile.

Kakashi...Kakashi...Why...I know I've heard of him from around the village and such, but for some reason it feels like more...Feeling a little irritated that he couldn't get a hold of this strange notion Iruka heaved a long sigh and got down to eating his noodles. Naruto looked at his old teacher for a second with concerned blue orbs.

Sensei must really miss me not being in his class any more..Maybe I should cheer him up?...

Both student and teacher finished up their ramen bowls and sighed, happy ones, the blond rubbing his stomach with satisfaction plastered on his face while Iruka clearly showed he was full with a small burp. Naruto chuckled and Iruka blushed and mumbled an excuse me, his mouth covering his mouth.

"Hmm..So you're here Naruto.." Iruka's ears pricked from the lazy tone of voice, his heart skipping an odd beat from the seductive chuckle that followed. Naruto looked over his shoulder to see Kakashi's head peeking through the material at the entrance of the shop, his visible eye turning upward as he smiled over at his energetic student, that pale eyelid opening up to reveal an onyx eye that smoothly glided over to meet Iruka's brown eyes. "Hello Iruka-sensei.." Iruka stared for a while longer and then forced a smile to appear.

"Kakashi-sensei.." Came an unintended whisper that came out slightly more breathlessly than it should have, Kakashi's uncaring façade almost broke from such a sexy tone of voice, but instead he decided to chuckle a little and look at the confused blond.

"What are you doing here?" Kakashi raised a silver brow and slowly shook his head.

"Maaa…Naruto is that any way to talk to your new Sensei?" Naruto puffed out his cheeks, he will never forget what that man had done to his poor ass, that stupid "Hidden Leaf Ancient Taijutsu Supreme Technique A 1000 Years Of Pain", I doubt anyone would forget such a thing, the pain may subside but the humiliation will last for years. Feeling a dark glare in the side of his head Naruto looked over at Iruka, his whole body shaking when he could feel the man's lecture coming on.

"A-Ah sorry Kakashi-sensei!!" Kakashi lifted a silver brow, slightly curious as to what secret conversation both of them had with their eyes, which had been something like:

Naruto you are polite to those who have such high respect...I did not teach you to be this way...

A-Ah o-okay Sensei, don't get angry!!

Naruto apologize now!! And I'm not angry..

Your nostrils are flaring...And the vein in your forehead is pulsing...

Just apologize!!

Iruka sighed a little a pulled some money out of his pouch, slowly putting it on the counter and getting up off his seat.

"Well Naruto-kun, I'll leave you and Kakashi-san to what ever you are doing, I have to go and do some marking.." Kakashi nodded and Naruto groaned out loudly.

"Awww Iruka-se~~nsei! Please! You said you'll spend more time with me as a celebration.." Iruka smiled apologetically, his attention being brought over to Kakashi who was chuckling a little.

"Don't mind me Sensei, I was just strolling past and thought to remind Naruto of the time to come tomorrow.." Naruto's eyes slowly grew into slits and his mouth turned into a unsatisfied pout.

"Eh?! You're the one who was late when we had our test!!..And you knew we were all hungry!" Iruka raised a brown eye brow over at the silver haired man.

"Is that so Kakashi-sensei? You have a problem with being punctual?" Kakashi blinked, a little shocked from how much of a turn on Iruka's teacher tone had been.

"Um.." Naruto puffed out some more of his cheeks and stood beside his sweet teacher.

"YEAH HE DOES IRUKA-SENSEI!!!" Iruka chuckled a little and ruffled Naruto's hair.

"Hm..Kakashi-sensei I believe you need to be tutored on how to arrive on time.." Okay Iruka was slightly shocked that his voice had became so seductive and smooth, he was obviously flirting with the other, but confused as to why. It seemed he wasn't the only one who was shocked; the expression Kakashi's visible eye had indicated that his mouth had been a gape under that navy mask of his. Luckily the young whiskered boy was naïve and oblivious as he couldn't pick up the obvious flirting that Iruka was doing. Kakashi slowly closed his mouth and grinned.

"Oh really? Who would you suggest should teach me?" Iruka's heart skipped a beat, he hadn't expected Kakashi to flirt back, and to make him want to strip right there and then. Seems the rumors of Kakashi being a smooth talker and a flirt had been correct, now he knew why women would swoon when Kakashi was near. Naruto's outburst yanked Iruka out of his thoughts:

"Iruka-sensei should privately tutor you!" Both Iruka and Kakashi stared at the boy, Kakashi had forgotten that the blond was still there, but he liked the blonds' suggestion.

Iruka was thankful that the blond was so oblivious; a chuckle caused chills to run down the chunin back, his excited brown orbs looking back over to see Kakashi rubbing his masked chin.

"Hmm..That's a good idea Naruto" The blond beamed a smile and scratched his whiskered cheek sheepishly.

"Well, I'm going to become the greatest Hokage, so obviously my ideas will rock" Kakashi hummed a small agreement, not really listening, his dark eye lingering on Iruka.

It's been such a long time since he truly heard Iruka's voice, even longer time since those brown eyes were locked on him. A pang of sadness ached Kakashi's lonely heart, ever since he had to leave Iruka alone all them years ago, he had been waiting for a chance to get Iruka to be his once again. In the shadows he slowly watched the tanned man grow and every time he did so, the more darkness would consume him. He found it extremely difficult to sleep alone, eat alone or even spend his time alone ever since Iruka had came into his life, but he knew when the time comes he could be with Iruka again. Even if it wasn't in a relationship, as long as he got to see the man's smile he would be fine. Iruka started to blush slowly from the intent stare he was receiving from the pale jounin, this familiar gesture pulling Kakashi out of his thoughts and back into reality.

"Hm..It would take a lot of hard work to make Kakashi-san punctual" Iruka slowly raised a brown brow, his cheeks still rosy. A hand appeared and grabbed onto Kakashi's shoulder, bringing every one's attention over to the man who just entered the ramen stand, Kakashi's eye narrowing dangerously when it was Gai.

"AH MY SWEET RIVAL, THIS IS WHERE YOU HAVE BEEN HIDING! AW CAN YOU SMELL THAT?" Naruto shuddered and took a step back, Kakashi glaring like hell and Iruka trying to look polite and smile. The blond slowly raised a questioning eyebrow and took a wild guess.

"The ramen?" Gai inhaled deeply, his nostril's a flare and shook his head.

"NO! I can smell the freshness of this fine a joyful morning! Yes..I can almost smell the beautiful fragrance from those blooming flowers!" Kakashi's face dropped, Iruka's brow began to twitch uncontrollably and Naruto looked baffled, his nose sniffing around.

"What're you talking about, all I can smell is ramen.." Gai gave a bellow of a laugh and Teuchi* shook his head slowly, he had been watching the whole flirting session, he hadn't seen Kakashi look so lively, after Kakashi had to let go of Iruka all them year's ago, the silver haired man had turned a little cold hearted, he was secretly rooting for them to get together, and Gai just broke the mood. Naruto still continued sniffing the place until he came to the conclusion Gai must've been on some sort of drugs. Gai took in another huge breath through his nose; his massive eyebrow twitching from delight.

"OH! Such beauty!" Came Gai's next declaration when Ayame came walking in, her face glowing a red from the compliment. For a strange reason Iruka felt extremely jealous of her when she waved a hello to Kakashi, the silver haired man noticing the odd turn in Iruka's mood.

"Well I better go now…Take care, bye Naruto-kun, Gai-sensei, Kakashi-sensei.." Kakashi frowned and nodded the man a good bye. He was feeling a familiar distance Iruka had created, just like when Iruka was younger, he did this when he first met Ayame. Then something clicked, when he was younger he didn't understand the sudden change in emotion but now he did. The emotion Iruka had been feeling was…Jelousy?...Looking back out, Kakashi watched Iruka hurry off, his ears ringing when Naruto shouted and chased after the tanned man.

"Kakashi-san, do you think it's wise getting involved with Iruka-san?" Kakashi looked back at his black haired friend, his eye slowly glaring at the bushy browed man.

"Well I have no choice now I'm Naruto's new teacher, Iruka-san just so happens to be his special sensei" Gai heaved a sigh and nodded.

~Ba-Dump~Ba-Dump~

Iruka inhaled deeply, his heart was beating and he felt so terrible when he saw Ayame, he had an idea of what he was feeling but why? He never looked at the woman in such a way before, so why now? It was the moment she looked at Kakashi and waved; feeling the jealousy once again Iruka gasped, a frown picking at his brow when he was trying to understand his own feelings. Looking over his shoulder Iruka noticed Naruto jogging towards him, arms flaring about and calling out to him, heaving a sigh Iruka ran a tanned hand though his tied up hair, pulling out a few strands as he stared at the floor.

"Dobe.." Hearing the familiar emotionless tone Iruka looked behind again, a small smile tugging at his lips when he saw Naruto glaring at a raven crouching at the top of a wall like a black cat. The blond yelling and cursing like a dog. Heaving another sigh the brown haired man took off; he really didn't feel like being a peace keeper when he felt so horrible. His head was hurting the more he tried to think as of why he would feel so possessive and jealous when Ayame simply glanced at the silver haired man. Another thing, why had he flirted with Kakashi so easily like he was some woman? A groan escaped Iruka's lips and he covered his face with his hands and mentally screamed.

"Why is it so…Strange when it comes to him?" Came his questioning whisper.

It's not like I'm some inexperienced and naïve child, I know the possibilities of these feelings but, why? Why so suddenly?

Iruka frowned, so many questions beginning with why, that he couldn't answer, how could he answer when he didn't actually know where all this rooted from. Feeling nostalgia when looking into those eyes and talking to Kakashi was driving him nuts. Feeling extremely unsettled Iruka darted straight for his home, his head was beginning to ache extremely bad, like his skull was about to split.

"I'll take a nap…Clear my thoughts, rid myself of these questions"

~Ba-Dump~Ba-Dump~

Kakashi was sitting on the roof of his house, his silver visible brow twitching when he couldn't actually take any of it in. He was certainly sure Iruka had been flirting; a small smile grew on the man's masked face.

"Does that mean I can take that as a second chance Kami-sama?"
