kakashi just smiled at the nin and started on his way home. iruka caught up soon enough and they walked in silence before iruka asked.

"so what will your next assignment be now that your not guarding me?"

kakashi shrugged before deciding to poke the bear.

"might take some time off"

iruka's eye twitched, he should have figured that the ninja would be in on everything. walking faster he made his way up the flights of stairs to kakashi's place. the silver haired ninja opened the door and wasnt surprised when the man stalked down the hallway to his room. he was rather surprised when the door wasnt slammed shut, but figured that iruka was starting to settle down. going into the living room he sighed, this was not how he wanted the day to go.

iruka lay half on the bed his face muffled by the pillow as he cursed the hokage and kakashi. he vaguely heard the door open it creaking a little. sighing he was about to yell at kakashi to go away when something cold and wet rubbed against his hand that was draped over the side of the bed. turning his head to the other side of the room his eyes widened when he saw the dog sitting there nuzzling his hand.

"umm hello?"

the dog whinned and continued to try and get him to pet it. sighing he did as asked and reached out to pet the dogs head, scratching behind one ear. the dog closed its eyes in obvious pleasure. laughing a little he asked.

"and what is your name?"

the dog seemed to snap out of its reverie and tilted its head to the side as if it didnt know how to respond to the question.getting confused iruka called out.

"kakashi?"

he heard the footsteps of the other nin come down the hallway, the ninja peeking his head and answering him at the same time.

"yeah"

pointing to the dog sitting beside his bed iruka asked.

"um i think you lost one of your ninken"

kakashi smiled at iruka before stating rather matter of factly.

"nope"

he watched as kakashi was about to leave, calling out to the the ninja he demanded an explination.

"what do you mean nope, he has to be yours"

looking down at the dog in question and then back to the school teacher he answered.

"sorry doesnt seem to be one of mine"

iruka frowned at kakashi, he wasnt sure what the ninja was up to, but he wasnt in the mood for games. sitting up he glanced to the dog and then to kakashi before pointingly saying.

"cut the crap-your summons are dogs, he-"

"she"

raising an eyebrow iruka's eye twitched.

"she is a dog and you just admitted to knowing it"

"of course i know her"

"then she's one of your ninken!"

kakashi shook his head before saying in a sadened tone.

"she doesnt have a master"

looking to the ninken in front of him and to the jounin his eyes widened.

"no no no no no no"

smilling kakashi responded.

"yep, she's all yours"

with that kakashi dissapeared down the hallway. smiling as he heard iruka calling his name only to be ignored. he did so love pestering the man. he'd thought up the idea when he had been stewing in the living room for a while. he needed a way to get iruka to open up again and then it just hit him to do what he and pakkun had talked about. he summoned pakkun and told the little dog his plan. pakkun had nodded his head and quickly brought another ninken infront of kakashi.

"she's loyal, smart, and playful just what the runt needs."

"fantastic, thanks pakkun."

the dog nodded before dissapearing in a puff of smoke. kakashi looked down to the sleek dog infront of him, she was a beauty that was for sure. a nice shiny coat of black made her almost appear like a walking shadow. he couldnt wait to see how iruka responded to her. he very quickly filled the ninken on what was going on and that he needed her help to not only look after the man, but try and get him to open up. with that he told her what room he was in and said go get him. he quickly returned to his seat and waited. it wasnt even five minutes later when he heard the confused voice of the chunin calling his name.

smiling to himself he reclined in his chair and pulled out his favorite book. it wasnt more than a couple minutes later that the chunin joined him in the living room, the black dog following him.

"take her back"

"nope"

"what do you mean nope, im not a dog person, im not an anything person for that matter."

smiling behind his book he replied.

"you'll learn"

mouth hanging open he couldnt believe the gall of the jounin before him. he couldnt just force him to have a ninken, could he?

"no really you need to take her back, im not that good with animals."

"you teach them all the time"

"very funny, children are different"

"no not really, they misbehaive, need lots of attention, have to be taught everything, and watched constantly to make sure they dont do something to hurt themselves. pretty much the same thing"

iruka was beyond irritated now, not only was kakashi saying his children were animals, but he was demanding that he take care of this dog, he'd never had a dog.

"but-"

"no buts, she stays. besides i think she likes you"

looking down to the dog iruka saw that she had laid down beside him while he was talking with kakashi. looking back up to the jounin he muttered.

"fine, but im gonna train her to piss on your sheets"

he stormed over to his chair and huffed as he crossed his arms.

"that would be impressive, you might want to try with fetch first though"

"bite me"

laughing kakashi went back to reading, he had no doubts that the teacher would grow to care for the animal. he was just a caring person. it was only a couple minutes later when iruka asked.

"whats her name?"

smilling behind his book, he answered.

"she doesnt have one"

"what? i thought all your dogs had names"

"oh they do-but like i said she's not mine"

"then where did you get her?"

"pakkun brought her to me"

"so i have to come up with a name?"

"that would be a good idea, unless you want to call her it for the rest of her life."

frowning at the amused man, he looked at the solid black creatured sitting infront of him. she was beautiful, but he didnt know quite how to react to this. why was kakashi giving him a dog? sighing he leaned his head back and closed his eyes. he was really beginning to hate today.

kakashi read his book with a smile on his face. his plan was going off without a hitch so far. the chunin seemed to have given up getting rid of her and was just pouting for now. at least now he knew that the chunin was going to be watched when kakashi wasnt with him. the dog was smart, she wouldnt allow the man to hurt himself without finding help for the man. of course he wasnt about to tell iruka that. he was hoping that the dog would never need to get help for the man.

"mayonaka"

kakashi smiled, he knew the chunin would come around.

"midnight huh, seems fitting she practically could dissapear in the night"

"i really dont like you for this"

the chunin muttered. kakashi chuckled a little before saying.

"you've stated that a couple times today, but im a stubborn man so i'll ignore it again"

he heard the man sigh and flipped another page in his book. they had alot of setbacks today, but he was starting to believe that they were inching forward with some progress. he would have to be sure to tell the hokage about the latest developments when he saw her next. it also brought up when he could tear himself away from iruka, he trusted his ninken to guard the man, but a part of him still didnt want to leave anything to chance.

"how many ninken do you have?"

"i have eight on my team right now, but i could always add more if i needed too"

iruka was about to ask another question when kakashi beat him to it.

"what snakes are you able to summon?"

iruka thought a moment, he could summon any of them,but it didnt mean they were going to listen to him. snakes were very proud creatures. telling kakashi this he explained that if he summoned a snake like manda, he would surely be killed by the summons.

"i always stuck to the smaller snakes that were much easier to please. they were just as effective as the larger ones and were less rude once they got to know me"

"so some of them listened to you?"

"yeah, i have a few that dont seem to mind me much. especially if i promise them a rat or something"

"my dogs are the same way, they groan about everything unless there's a steak in it for them"

iruka laughed, the summons might be different species but it seemed they all thought with their stomaches.

"you know you could always get a different contract"

iruka smiled at kakashi, he of course knew that, but for one reason or another he'd never bothered with it. it wasnt like he was going to need the summons alot while teaching. he hardly ever went on missions anymore so there really wasnt much threat to himself. unless he ordered the snakes to bite him, which he had done in the past. for some reason, they seemed to understand him when he asked for their help in dying. they never questioned if he really meant it, only did as asked and wished him well before dissapearing.

"i know, i guess i just hold onto them cause its one of the last things i have from my genin days."

kakashi nodded to the chunin. for one reason or another the man was attached to his lethal summons and it wouldnt do good to argue with him about it. so instead he went back to flipping through his book. iruka took the time to look at his new ninken, mayonaka seemed happy just sitting at his feet. reaching down he stroked the soft fur. the dog seemed to enjoy it because its sleek tail started thumping on the wooden floor. smiling at her he scratched behind an ear before speaking to kakashi again.

"can she talk?"

"no i dont think so, she hasnt spoken to me at least and pakkun didnt say she could."

smiling again for some reason iruka was a little upset that she couldnt speak to him, but in other ways glad that he wouldnt have to explain himself every couple minutes to a curious dog. looking across the room he watched kakashi read for a bit, he wasnt sure what was going to happen now that he was being forced to live with the man.

getting up from his chair iruka went to go find a book, mayonaka rose with him, smiling down at the dog he told her he'd be right back. the dog didnt seem to believe him and continued to follow him down the hallway. kakashi smiled beneath his mask, he was a genius. flipping another page he let himself get lost in the story as the chunin and the black dog returned, iruka holding a new book in his hand. retaking his seat he watched as mayonaka curled up beside his chair, nodding his head he opened the book he was going to start reading and flipped through the introduction to the first pages of instruction.

the night was quiet for them, both staying engrossed in their books. occasionally iruka would reach down and pet mayonaka on the head as he read, in the end they ate dinner in relative silence and iruka excused himself for the evening shortly after. the dog following him down the hallway. kakashi only stayed up a little longer. making his way down the hallway he was surprised that the door was partially open, peeking in he smiled, mayonaka was curled up on the bed besides the sleeping chunin. her head cocked up when he put his head through the door, but laid back down once she recognized who it was.

"good girl"

leaving the two to sleep he went to climb into his own bed.

***********

iruka woke up slowly, stretching in bed he jolted a little when his hand came into contact with something warm and soft. then he remembered kakashi giving him the ninken. looking over to his side he smiled as the dog raised her head upon his movement.

"good morning"

the dogs tail thumped on the bed in response. chuckling iruka climbed out of bed and gathered the nessasary things to go take a shower. as he walked over towards the door he saw mayonaka get up to follow him.

"no-stay"

the dog whinned, but laid down as told. the chunin smiled at her and continued down the hallway. he took his shower in peace and returned to the bedroom to put his dirty laundry in the hamper, the dog must have missed him in the short time he was away, because she jumped off the bed and circled him a coulple times her tail wagging. reaching down he patted her head as he went through his morning ritual.

"come on girl, its time for tea"

they quietly walked down the hallway and into the kitchen to prepare his morning cup of tea.

kakashi woke when the water turned on, silently cursing the chunin's need for getting up early he threw back the covers and got his stuff together so he could take his own shower. he waited until he heard iruka back in his room to walk down the hallway and shut the bathroom door. he was curious how the man had slept with the dog at his side.

entering the living room, kakashi took in the sight before him. iruka was reading already a cup of tea on the side table. mayonaka was laying beside him, patiently waiting for the man to give her any instructions. maybe he could convice iruka to give up the snake summons after a little time with the dog. saying goodmorning he got his own cup of tea before relaxing in his own chair. he had things he needed to do today, but was wary about leaving iruka alone. ultimatley he ended up glancing at the clock as the time neared for his meeting. sighing he got the chunin's attention.

"i have a meeting soon, i'll only be gone a little bit"

iruka nodded before going back to his book. kakashi sighed, he wasnt sure if he should say anything more to the chunin. so instead he spoke to the dog.

"take care of iruka okay?"

the dog gave a happy yip and thumped her tail a couple times on the floor. smiling behind his mask he saw the glare from the school teacher.

"go-i'll be fine"

nodding his head he dissapeared in a flash of smoke. he truly hoped that the chunin was right about that. once the smoke had cleared iruka looked down to his new companion.

"how about we make some breakfast?"

the dog followed him into the kitchen wordlessly.

*******

kakashi reapeared a couple blocks away, walking slowly through the village he made good time to meet his anbu team. they were going to train for a bit and he figured he could give them an update on iruka. entering the private training grounds, he quickly found his team waiting for him.

"yo"

they smiled at him, asuma was busy smoking but nodded his head at him. genma had his typical senbon in his mouth but smiled around the object.

"so how are things at your place?"

it was raidou who asked, shaking his head kakashi began to explain all that had happened over the last couple days with the chunin. the anbu stared at him as he told them about the chunin's fight with the hokage and his ability to fool the psych eval nin.

"so he just passed? just like that?"

"yeah, made it look like the easiest thing in the world. didnt show any signs that he was lying to the man, but he was."

shaking their heads they asked how the hokage had taken that news. kakashi explained that iruka had handed in his hitae to become a civilian of the village to avoid therapy, but that he couldnt get out of living with him for the forseeable future thanks to the hokages quick thinking. they laughed a little when he told them how the teacher had repeadetly told him how he really didnt like him.

"sounds like you've been busy ne"

"yeah, oh and i gave him a ninken last night"

they stared at the shinobi infront of them. had they really just heard what they thought they heard.

"you did what?"

"i had pakkun bring another ninken to me and had the dog follow iruka around. he named her and everything."

the anbu started laughing at the poor teachers plight. it was obvious that kakashi was trying to torture the poor man with his help reguardless if the man wanted it or not.

"so you left him with the dog this morning"

"yep"

"is that wise?"

"she knows to get help if he tries anything, but i dont think he will. he seemed in a better mood today that was for sure."

they glanced to one another before excepting the nin's explination. they finally got ready to practice and left iruka in their teammates hands.

********

iruka nibbled at his toast, while flipping through yet another book. the only difference was that he was now in the library. mayonaka was sitting below him on the floor. occasionally he'd throw a piece of bread down for the dog. he didnt like the crust anyways. his head bolted up when he heard the front door unlock. mayonaka stood, ready to defend her knew master, but laid back down when she caught the scent of kakashi. seeing the dogs reaction he figured there wasnt an intruder in the house and that kakashi had just chosen to use the front door. he wasnt dissapointed, the ninja came to stand in the doorway sweat beading down his forehead.

"yo"

"hi-you look like you need another shower"

kakashi nodded his head, he had no doubt about that.

"yeah, we got a little carried away today."

"oh so you were with your team?"

"yeah, just training"

iruka smiled at the jounin before offering.

"go take a shower and i'll fix us some lunch"

kakashi didnt bother to aruge just nodded his head and went to hop into the shower. iruka put his book down and made his way to the kitchen, a black dog trotting behind him. kakashi got out of the shower and quickly changed into some fresh clothes. coming out of the bathroom he was rather surprised to find mayonaka sitting outside the door. fear grasped his heart. had the dog tried to get him and he hadnt heard her? quickening his steps he made it to the living room only to sigh in relief. iruka was out on the balcony staring off into the distance. looking down to the dog he had to ask.

"why'd you come find me huh?"

"i dont think she likes the noise from the construction"

looking to the chunin he nodded his head. ninken were highly aware of their surroundings. it wouldnt be too far fetched to believe that the dog had simply wanted a quieter enviornment. scratching behind a black ear, he walked up to stand beside iruka.

"anything interesting?"

iruka shrugged before pointing out into the distance.

"looks like they almost have the wall tore down where it needs to be replaced"

following the chunin's pointing hand he took in the changed appearence of the village. the damage was slowly being removed, the rebuilding would take time, but at least large demolished buildings were being replaced with open areas.

"come on, lunch is propably getting cold"

following the chunin back inside they went into the kitchen to fill their plates before coming back to their favorite spots. iruka asked how training had gone and kakashi said that it had been pretty standard if not a little boring. iruka smiled and retorted.

"i highly doubt anbu training is boring"

kakashi shrugged before replying.

"mah it is, its not like facing a new opponent, i know what to expect from them"

iruka smiled around a bite of food. hearing the man talk about his boredom made iruka wonder if he would be able to surprise the ninja in anyway. there was plenty that kakashi didnt know about him. he was sure he could at least shock the nin with something he knew. he didnt delude himself into thinking he could beat the copy nin, because he didnt think he could, but shock him, yes. he was broken out of his thoughts when he saw something thrown at him, reflexivly he caught the item. it was a set of keys. looking to kakashi with a puzzled look on his face he waited for the ninja to explain.

"for the apartment, your going to be here a while, you might as well be able to come and go as you please."

iruka thanked him before tucking them away in his flak jacket. for some reason he had thought that kakashi would try and keep him in the apartment the entire time, not that he would listen, but he was rather shocked that kakashi wasnt going to try and stop him from doing as he pleased.

" my team has a meeting later today with the hokage, but i shouldnt be gone long."

"whats it about?"

"a mission-seems i dont get that vacation after all"

iruka smiled at the jounin. he knew how chaotic the missions desk could be, and if they needed an anbu team, he could only guess it was high ranking mission.

"too bad, me and mayonaka were going to go for a walk. guess you'll miss out"

smiling at the chunin he was glad that iruka was not going to whole himself up in the apartment.

"well have fun on your walk."

they sat in silence as they each respectivly read from their books. it was only a couple hours later that kakashi excused himself for his meeting and waved to iruka.
