***********
his team was fully assembled and ready to hear what the hokage had to say. she seemed to be frowning at something on the parchment she was reading before huffing and throwing it over her shoulder much to the anbu's amusement.
"alright brats, you lot are going to go and intercept some wave ninja that was seen traveling back to wave from our mountain range. i want them caught"
they bowed to their hokage and waited for further instructions.
"they've got a head start on you, so your going to have to push yourselves to catch up to them. that said it shouldnt take you more than a week to find them and drag them back here"
the anbu nodded, it was kakashi who spoke up.
"ano-what should i do about my house guest?"
sighing tsunade shook her head.
"cant be helped, he's a civilian now so there's nothing i can do about it. all we can do is have the villagers watch him when he's in public and hope he doesnt do anything while your gone."
the silver haired nin didnt like those odds but nodded his head. he wouldnt go against his hokage's orders.
"good, you leave tomorrow morning. dissmissed."
they all dissapeared in identical puffs of smoke.
********
reapearing in his apartment, he wasnt surprised to find iruka gone, the chunin had said he was going to take his ninken for a walk. so he patiently waited for the ninja to return to tell him that he would be leaving.
*******
iruka paced himself at a light job, mayonaka stayed right at his side the entire time. they made their way to the outskirts of town into the more wooded area for some fresh air away from all the dust of the village under construction. finding a tree he liked, he sat down and took a breather, scratching behind one of the ninken's ears got him an eager tail thump. laughing at the dogs enthusiasm, iruka leaned back against the hard trunk of the tree. he'd missed this, just being able to go whereever he wanted and enjoy the sights and sounds of the village. he continued to pet the dog as he relaxed against the tree. she curled up beside him her head in his lap. smiling down to her he asked.
"so, how about we teach you to fetch huh?"
the dog tilted her head but wagged her tail at the same time. she was eager to please him.
********
the sun had just started to set and kakashi was getting nervous. iruka had been gone the better half of the day. finally deciding he could take no more waiting he stood to go get his sandals, when he heard someone running up the stairs. eyebrow raised he smiled when he heard the lock dissingage to his apartment. sitting back down he quickly pulled his book out, he didnt want to let the teacher know that he had been about to go find him.
"ohayo"
"how was your walk?"
he heard the chunin taking off his sandals and was surprised when the chunin laughed. quickly coming into view his eyes widened at the sight of the man. he had cuts all over him, some still bleeding.
"what-"
"yeah, umm i think you should write a manual on how to care for ninken cause i am serious lacking in the skills department"
raising an eyebrow he waited for the man to continue. thats when he noticced the muddy dog standing next to iruka.
"yeah, she kinda found a large puddle, must have liked the smell of it or something cause i had a hell of a time getting her out of it."
"and the scratches?"
"oh yeah, we were playing fetch and i decided to hide from her to see if she could locate me. i didnt really expect her to pounce on me though and we fell into a briar patch"
kakashi couldnt help but laugh, this man had the weirdest luck of anyone he'd met so far.
"anyways. im gonna go get cleaned up and try and get her into the bathtub"
kakashi nodded his head and wished him luck in his endevour. he was relieved that the man seemed to be in good spirits, the dog had apparentlly been the right choice for a companion for him. he continued to read and let out a couple chuckles when he heard the teacher argueing with the dog. then their was a loud thud followed by a splash, shaking his head he turned the page of his book. it was nearly a half an hour later that a wet iruka came out with a much cleaner dog.
"have fun?"
"are all ninken afraid of being clean?"
"not that i know of, she didnt like the water?"
"oh once i got her in she loved it, but getting her into it was another matter entirely"
kakashi smiled to the man.
"they all have different personalities and quirks"
iruka nodded before taking his seat in his chair. mayonaka trotting to his side. kakashi rather liked the sight, maybe him being gone for a week wouldnt be to bad for the man. he could bond with the dog while he was away. sighing he decided it was time to inform iruka about his mission.
"ano-i have a mission"
iruka looked up to him and tilted his head to the side.
"oh"
"yeah my team and i leave in the morning. we shouldnt be gone more than a week, but if you'd like i could find somewhere else for you to stay so you wouldnt be alone"
iruka waved him off.
"no, i'll be fine here. im used to being alone and besides i have her so i wont really be alone"
kakashi nodded his head. at least the teacher seemed to be taking the news rather well.
"so is it dangerous?"
"mah, shouldnt be too hard, especially with all of us"
iruka smiled.
"thats good, what time do you leave?"
"early, i'll be up and gone before your outta bed i assume"
iruka nodded, he figured as much but had wanted to check.
"so what will you do while im gone?"
iruka thought a moment before replying
"propably try and get her to listen to me, i got her to fetch today, but that was about it."
kakashi nodded, training ninken took time and alot of effort on the human side of things.
"she'll catch on pretty fast i imagine. any idea what your going to train her for?"
"what do you mean?"
"ano. pakkun is my tracker and bull is the muscle. what's she gonna specialize in"
looking to the black dog he had to ask.
"i have no clue, what do you think she's good at?"
"well she's a medium sized dog but not built bulky so she could easily get into tight spaces and she's bound to be a fast runner. she could easily be a retrieval hound or a tracker."
iruka looked down at his new companion. he hadnt really thought about giving her a job, but it made sense to have her trained like all other ninken.
"i guess i'll just get used to her a bit and then decide"
"thats a good move. the dogs normally will give you a hint at what they like to do, from then on out its just training."
iruka smiled, scratching behind mayonaka's ear as he turned his attention to kakashi.
"i wanted to ask, is there anything i could do while your away, besides keep the apartment tidy that is?"
"nope, your on relax duty"
frowning at the jounin he stated.
"im gonna be bored outta my skull"
kakashi laughed before stating.
"consider it training"
iruka stuck out his tongue at the laughing jounin. before wondering about something a little more important.
"umm i know you've locked everything away and all, but im gonna need some knives for cooking"
kakashi froze a bit, he'd completely forgot about that.
"ah, yeah- i suppose you would. you could always live off ramen until i get back"
"im not naruto"
"true, was worth a shot. alright i'll dig them out and leave them in the drawer next to the stove. all i ask is that you be careful"
iruka nodded his head at the concerned jounin. he couldnt know if he was going to try anything while the man was away or not. it always just happened so spontaneously.
"well lets go fix dinner, after your exciting day you must be hungry"
"ass"
iruka muttered as the jounin laughed at him on his way to the kitchen. they were able to put together a nice dinner and relaxed together in the living room. iruka placed a bowl of water and some dog food in a bowl for mayonaka who seemed to be a very hungry dog.
"i guess she was hungry?"
kakashi nodded as he watched the dog inhale her food.
"yeah some ninken are just like that. just make sure she doesnt find the food or you'll be exercising her for a month trying to get the extra weight off of her"
iruka nodded, he didnt want that. they ate in silence, not really needing to talk to one another to enjoy each others company. when they were finished they cleaned up the mess in the kitchen and returned to the living room. they stayed there until it started to get late, yawning iruka stood.
"well im going to bed, good luck on your mission and becareful"
"of course, good luck in training her"
iruka nodded his head before walking down the hallway, mayonaka following close behind him. kakashi didnt stay up very much longer, he knew he was going to have a long week ahead of him especially with the added fact that he would be worrying about iruka the entire time he was gone.
*******
anbu gear on and his kits stored away, kakashi locked up the other weapons before exiting his room, pearing into irukas room found the man laying on his stomache. mayonaka raised her head at him.
"be good for him ne? take good care of him"
the dog laid her head back down and shut her eyes as kakashi left. he wouldnt be back for an entire week and he could only hope he wouldnt return home to chaos.
*********
iruka lounged in bed, just staring at the ceiling while he combed his fingers through mayonaka's fur. he knew kakashi was gone and although a part of him was relieved to have privacy again, another part was lonely at the aspect of being on his own again. sighiing he got out of bed and went through his morning ritual of catching a shower and making breakfast with tea. he stayed at the apartment, reading for most of the day, until a knock at the door had him and mayonaka rising to see who was waiting for them on the other side. opening the door iruka froze, the dog beside him raised her hackles and growled at her masters response. ibiki raised a scarred eyebrow to the teacher and dogs reaction to him, but paid it no mind.
"come with me"
iruka could barely get in enough air to be able to ask.
"what for?"
ibiki turned back around and reguarded the teacher for a minute before stating.
"because i said so"
sighing, iruka locked up the apartment and kneeled by the dog telling her silently that everything was alright and to stop growling at ibiki. the dog quieted, but didnt seem to keen on being next to the man.
"nice dog, didnt know you had a pet"
he couldnt resist the urge and before he knew it he was retorting shortly.
"there's alot about me you dont know"
the man laughed a little which only further angered the chunin. they made their way through town and it wasnt until he saw the familiar offices of the interrogation squad that iruka began to have doubts as to why he was once again in ibiki's presence. they entered quietly and although people greeted ibiki, he didnt speak back to them. iruka kept his head down, not wanting to gain any more attention to himself than needed. ibiki opened a door and motioned for iruka to enter. taking a deep breath he did as he was told.
to his surprise it wasnt an interrogation room, it was brightly lit and there was a couple desks around the room with bookcases that were filled with scrolls and books. looking to ibiki he reguarded the man skeptically before asking.
"why am i here?"
ibiki motioned that he follow him, going over to one of the larger desks that had quite a few scrolls taped down to their surface ibiki nonchalantly asked.
"can you read that?"
looking to what the man was pointing at, he peered down at the writing for a minute before it dawned on him. it was the wave encription writing. looking up to ibiki he asked.
"what is this about?"
"can you or can you not read it?"
frowning at the man he looked back down to the writing before responding.
"yeah i can read it"
"your parents taught you"
"yeah, they wanted me to know that i could always return to wave when i was older if i didnt end up liking it here. so they taught me all about it, that way i'd have a good job if i ever returned."
ibiki nodded his head before reaching over and grabbing three closed scrolls and held them out to the chunin.
"umm what?"
"take them, your to decode them and write your findings down."
taking the scrolls he continued to look at ibiki dumbfounded.
"umm im a civilian now, i dont know if the hokage told you-"
"oh she told me all about your little stunt"
smiling a little iruka couldnt help but have a little pride in himself.
"however, we are at war-your knowledge is invaluable to our side of the battle. there is no one else in the village with the extensive knowledge on waves writing, congradulations you just got reinstated as a shinobi of konoha and hired by the interrogations team. i want those done by tonight"
with that ibiki stormed out of the room leaving an even more confused iruka standing stupidly in the middle of the room. looking down to mayonaka he muttered.
"i thought i was supposed to be relaxing"
*********
they were tired and muddy, they continuously had to struggle with their captives who were fighting tooth and nail not to be brought back to konoha, which just irritated them all the more. finally seeing the gates to their proud city they all took a deep breath. yanking their captives along they headed for the interrogations office, they'd drop off their captives and report to the hokage before being released from their mission. entering the black building, they werent surprised to see people running around like crazy, it was always like this. they quickly found the admittance officer and were told to take them down to the basement where ibiki was waiting for them. escorting the ninja down there, they were all surprised when a black dog came trotting up to them and wagged its tail at kakashi, his eyes widened under the wolf mask, he knew this dog. kneeling he asked.
"where's iruka?"
the dog trotted off down the hall. and the team followed behind it, they could find ibiki after they figured out why the chunin would be back in the interrogations office and why he was on the level for the interrogation of wave again. sighing kakashi was dreading finding out what kind of trouble the man had gotten himself into now. coming around the corner they were rather stunned to see iruka yelling at ibiki, the interrogations officer not seeming to mind the irate bickerings of the former school teacher. he signed some papers and shoved them back at the teacher before noticing them.
"ah good your back, room three and four please"
the nin nodded before complying with ibiki's orders it wasnt a moment later that they were standing before the interrogations officer and a very peeved looking iruka.
"umm whats going on here?"
kakashi had to know what the hell was going on around him, iruka should have been at his apartment. not standing next to ibiki with his hands full of scrolls.
"im working, and you?"
ibiki's hot tone made kakashi want to thump his head against a wall.
"yes, but what is he doing here?"
glancing to the chunin ibiki smiled before turning to face the group of anbu.
"we found a new use for the school teacher, didnt we iruka?"
the man glarred at his new boss, he really would like to hit the man. instead he took a deep breath and walked past the group of anbu, his dog trailing behind him. he had no doubt that ibiki would fill them in and he had better get started on the new scrolls if he ever wanted to see his bed again.
staring after the school teacher they returned their gaze to ibiki.
"the hokage had a suspicion that iruka might have some more information about wave, so we put him to the test. turns out the man can desipher wave encryption codes-his parents taught him as a child in case he ever wanted to return to wave. so we have him decrypting information for us. he's been reinstated as a shinobi and now works for me"
the anbu just gaped at their boss, they had hired iruka? with that ibiki turned around and walked off leaving the group of anbu to collect their thoughts. it was asuma who suggested they report to the hokage before trying to find the chunin to ask him what had gone one while they were away. with that they dissapeared in puffs of smoke.
