iruka was pouring over the new scroll, scratching at his scar when he noticed movement. looking up he saw kakashi and his anbu team, still in full gear standing on the other side of his desk.

"hi"

"this is a change"

"you have no idea"

the chunin sighed. leaning back in his chair he reguarded the anbu carefully. other than being muddy and most likely tired they appeared to be fine.

"so how'd the mission go?"

"their locked up downstairs"

iruka nodded his head, he hadnt doubted that they would catch whoever the hokage sent them after.

"well thats good i guess, well not for them, but you know what i mean"

the anbu nodded, kurenai came closer and inspected the papers strewn across the mans desk. it was all gibberish to her.

"you can read that?"

looking down to what she was pointing at iruka smiled and nodded.

"yeah, thats about a shipment of weapons that were most likely going to intercept"

the anbu just continued to stare at the chunin. iruka was starting to get uncomfortable under the shinobi's stares and scratched his scar.

"what?"

kakashi shook his head, he had only been gone a week and somehow the school teacher had found himself hired by the interrogations team.

"so you've been reinstated?"

pointing to his hitae that was once again on his forehead he nodded.

"yeah civilians cant work here."

"and you just agreed to work here even after what happened."

looking to genma iruka shrugged before honestly answering.

"ibiki threatened to lock me up for the rest of my life for witholding valuable information to the hokage."

"so he threatened you?"

kakashi wasnt too happy about the circumstances.

"well he sure didnt ask for my opinion"

the anbu were at a loss, they werent sure if they should be happy that the man now seemed to have some purpose again or if he was being forced to work with people who had helped to conspire to his own torture.

"how long have you been here?"

"the day you guys left, ibiki showed up at the apartment and dragged me here. put a scroll in front of me and asked if i could read it. when i said yes he told me to have it done by the end of the day and left me in a room"

yeah that sounded like ibiki. smiling the anbu asked how he had been doing.

"some of its pretty repetitive, normal war time missives of where things need to be sent, but we've found out some of their motives for attacking and we think we know what their up to right now. if it turns out that were right, we could be looking at another assault"

they didnt like the sound of that, but at least this time they could prepare for it.

"when do you get off work?"

looking to the wolf mask he smiled, before reaching down and scratching his nin dogs ear.

"not for a while, i dont really have a set schedule yet, its pretty much stay here until i finish"

kakashi frowned at that. iruka was smiling at them, but he could tell that the man was tired, he had bags under his eyes again.

"when's the last time you slept?"

"two days ago?"

the anbu frowned, ibiki was deffinatly taking advantage of his position over the man. he knew iruka was scared of him and was using it to his advantage to keep the man working at all hours.

"when'd you last eat"

"this morning at breakfast-surprisingly the cafateria here isnt half bad"

the anbu smiled at the school teacher. iruka knew what they were doing, they were worried about him, but he actually felt pretty good.

"you guys off to go sleep now?"

"yeah, thats our plan"

iruka nodded before stating that he should get back to work. the anbu nodded and headed for the door, kakashi stayed behind. his teammates just smiled behind their masks and left without him. iruka tilted his head at kakashi.

"what?"

"how have you been?"

"good, though i dont think mayonaka likes ibiki much, she growls at him alot"

kakashi laughed.

"she picks up on your emotions"

"yeah i figured as much, but he lets me keep her here while i work which is nice."

kakashi nodded, he had no doubt that it was the hokages doing that allowed the man to keep his ninken with him. as tired as he was, he wanted to know what the man had been up too, but was cut off by iruka.

"i really need to get back to this if i want to be able to come home tonight. you should go rest and i'll see you later ok? oh and theirs leftovers in the fridge if you get hungry"

smiling behind his mask kakashi let the man get back to his work. he left silently taking one last look at the man before he went.

kakashi ended up sleeping for five hours, when he got up finally and found the leftovers he looked at the clock, it was getting late. he wondered if iruka was going to get done with all the work he had on his desk when he visited him. taking his food out to the living room he ate in peace before reading a bit. it was some two hours later that he heard the door and iruka going.

"i know i know your hungry hold on let me get the door open first"

smiling he leaned back in his chair to watch the man come into the room, the ninken circling him as he walked. iruka waved at him before going to get mayonaka her dinner. the dog dived in with gusto which made iruka laugh.

"your gonna choke if you eat like that"

"mah you should have named her naruto"

scowling at the ninja, he collapsed into his chair. it had been a long day and he was greatful to be back in the apartment.

"tough day?"

"long day, my eyes get tired reading all those documents"

kakashi nodded, before getting up and fetching the man a cup of tea. iruka accepted it gratefully.

"you catch up on your sleep?"

"five hours worth"

iruka smiled at him.

"thats where im headed after this"

"your not going to eat anything?"

iruka shook his head befor taking another sip of tea.

"no, its too later for me to eat and im really tired. so how long do you guys have off before your off chasing people again?"

kakashi shrugged, the hokage hadnt given them any information on when she might need them next so it was safe to assume that they had the next couple days off.

"what about you? when do you get a day off?"

iruka shrugged behind his tea cup. kakashi frowned.

"ma its not that bad kakashi, besides i dont have to be around ibiki much which is nice. i mostly stay in my office desiphering scrolls."

"you should still get time to yourself, to rest"

iruka smiled at the ninja, he appreciated the concern, but he really didnt want to rock the boat with ibiki. the man held alot over him and he didnt want to see any of that information spilled. getting up he stretched before saying goodnight to the silver haired ninja. kakashi said goodnight and watched as the black dog followed its master down the hallway. he would need to have a little chat with ibiki tomarrow.

***********

iruka groaned as his alarm went off, it was so early. sighing he forced himself to get out of bed and start his day. the whole time he was being watched by mayonaka, the dog didnt quite understand why her master chose to get up this early,but had figured it had something to do with the scarred man that made her master afraid. she didnt like him. hearing her master climb into the shower she hopped down from the bed and looked down the hallway, the door to the bathroom was shut, no matter how much she whinned he wouldnt leave it open so she could watch over him. letting out a peterbed snort she pushed open the door opposite of their room, the scent of the other male catching her nose. trotting over she jumped up onto the bed and nuzzled his hand. lazely it came up to pet his head.

"mmm what are you doing in here?"

opening his eye he looked around until it landed on the dog vying for his attention. when he heard the water going he realized what must have happened.

"he kick you out of the bathroom huh?"

the dog set her head down on his chest in a huff. laughing a little he petted the dog before saying.

"he's a little shy about those kinds of things, just bare with him ne"

the dog nuzzled against his chest and settled down for a couple more minutes of sleep. glancing to his clock he sighed, it was too early to be up. was ibiki really needing iruka to start so early? or was he just trying to use the man. one way or another he'd find out today. he had no doubts that iruka was still teetering on an edge and the slightest thing could push him over one side or the other. he didnt want ibiki to be the cause of the man breaking down again. hearing the water shut off he listened as iruka got ready for work. the door came open and he heard iruka call out for the dog, she perked her ears up but didnt seem to want to move. chuckling he called out to the chunin. when his door opened a little he saw the confusion at his dog laying on kakashi.

"i think she's rebelling against getting up this early"

iruka smiled, shaking his head he glanced to the clock before saying.

"you can keep her for the day if she doesnt want to get out of bed, but i have to get going"

kakashi subtly nudged the dog and she took the hint and ran after the retreating chunin. he felt better leaving the teacher under the ninkens watchful eyes. turning over he went back to sleep, he wasnt about to go talk to the interrogations officer this early in the morning.

*********

opening an eye, kakashi listened to the quiet apartment, it took him a minute to register that iruka wasnt there and that he was at work. getting out of bed, he quickly took a shower, ate and got ready to go see how the chunin was doing at his new job. he of course wasnt about to tell the chunin why he was really there. dissapearing in a puff of smoke he reappeared just outside the interrogations office. sticking his hands in his vest he walked leaisurly into the building. like always it was chaos, people running this way and that to return reports or transfer important information. he was glad he was just a fighter and didnt have to do much paperwork. walking down the hall he decided to check in on iruka before he went on to talk with ibiki. knocking on the closed door he was rather surprised when he didnt hear anyone tell him to come in. carefully he opened the door, peering around the opening he took in the sight before him. mayonaka was watching him, but was laying beside the chunin who appeared to have fallen asleep at his desk. entering quietly he took in the tired looking chunin's appearence. iruka had somehow managed to smear ink on his face and although it was quite an endearing sight, he had no doubt that the chunin would just get frustrated with himself. kneeling dow to the dog he asked.

"he's really exhausted isnt he?"

the dog glanced to her master and then to the jounin before laying back down. smiling at the dog he pet her head a couple times before taking his leave. quietly closing the door behind him. making his way down to the lower levels where he was sure to find the torture expert, he was not overly shocked to see the man staring down some poor soul who had pissed him off. once ibiki saw him however he barked at the man to leave and nodded to the jounin.

"something i can help you with?"

"yeah actually, you got time to talk or is there someone you need to be maiming right now?"

smirking at the wisecracking jounin he nodded for the man to follow him. a couple doors down they entered a interrogation room, seemed fitting to kakashi.

"whats up kakashi?"

turning to face the man he decided to get to the point.

"your working him too hard"

at first ibiki seemed confused, but it finally clicked in the mans head.

"are you his mother now?"

frowning at the man he shook his head.

"no, but the hokage wants me to look out for him and i can tell he's being overworked."

ibiki shrugged nonchalantley before replying

"he hasnt said anything"

kakashi snorted at him a frown creasing his face.

"you know damn well that he wouldnt say anything to you even if he somehow managed to cut off his own arm. your the last person he wants to be around."

"that might be so, but i am his boss-he needs to learn to get over things. thats what most of his problems stem from, he pushes them away instead of dealing with the situation."

"you cant expect him to just realize your not going to hurt him again, you tortured him for information not even three weeks ago. he needs a set schedule like when he was teaching."

ibiki considered saying no right away to the jounin in front of him, but he really didnt want to get into a full out arguement with the man. kakashi was one of his best anbu and he wanted to keep the man on his good side for as long as possible.

"i'll see what i can do"

kakashi stared at him a little longer before nodding and heading for the door.

"does he know your speaking on his behalf?"

kakashi heard the subtle threat there.

"no he does not, but considering he's currently passed out at his desk i dont think he could argue with me much"

ibiki frowned, maybe the copy nin was right. he needed iruka sharp to be able to desipher all the information they were getting, a misinterpretation could cost them dearly. sighing he nodded his head.

"take him home then, he can have the rest of the day off."

kakashi smiled behind his mask, before stating.

"good, he can catch up on some sleep and be ready to work tomorrow. you might want to consider letting him work from home though. this place is rather stuffy"

the glare he got from the interrogations officer proved that the man wasnt impressed.

"im just saying, he's the only one who can read them so theirs no threat of the information getting out to anyone and it would help him relax"

with that he left ibiki to think about what he had told the man. making his way back up to irukas office he took a deep breath and entered the room. he was rather shocked to find iruka awake and rubbing his eyes like he had a headache. the ink stain had been whiped away.

"morning"

opening his eyes iruka looked at him for a few moments before asking.

"what are you doing here?"

"mah cant i come visit my favorite roommate?"

"im your only roommate"

kakashi just continued to smile at him, iruka shook his head before going back to reading the phrase he was desiphering.

" when your done with that we can go"

"go?"

looking up to the jounin iruka was quite confused.

"go where?"

"back to the apartment"

"umm i just got here like two hours ago, im not scheduled to leave until after six"

kakashi waved his hand as if that meant nothing.

"maybe you were given the rest of the day off?"

frowning at the jounin he asked.

"what did you do?"

"i had a small chat with ibiki"

iruka groaned, putting his head in his hands, that was the last thing he needed was that man thinking he couldnt do his job.

"come now its not so bad, i just told him he was overworking you, your tired."

"im fine"

the chunin muttered.

"you were asleep at your desk when i got here"

iruka looked up at him in shock, he hadnt known kakashi had come in earlier. sighing he leaned back in his chair.

"you could have just woke me up"

"that was an option, but i liked my idea better."

iruka glarred at him some more, much to kakashi's amusement. the final straw however was when kakashi directed his attention to mayonaka.

"he's working too much isnt he?"

the dog let out a bark, startling iruka in his chair, he'd never heard her bark before, looking around the table he saw the dog wagging her tail for kakashi.

"traitor"

looking back up to the jounin, he frowned at the smug look on kakashi's face.

"of course she's gonna side with you, you have her contract"

"that hasnt stopped pakkun from ratting me out to he hokage on numerous occasions"

iruka snorted, kakashi propably deserved it. when he saw that kakashi wasnt about to go anywhere, he sighed and gathered up some papers to put away. once that was done he nodded his head and started to follow kakashi out the door. they were walking down the hallway when someone called out iruka's name. turning around yielded a young women with a stack of papers.

"oh im glad i caught you, ibiki-san said you were leaving for the rest of the day. we got some new information from one of the wave ninja downstairs and ibiki would like you to go over it when you have the time."

holding out a scroll to iruka, the school teacher took it before asking.

"he wants me to take this home?"

she nodded her head.

"yes, he said it might take a while to get through all the information in there and that you should have something to focus on when your not here"

kakashi frowned, leave it to ibiki to find a way to make the poor man work on his day off. iruka took the scroll and thanked the girl before turning back around to find kakashi standing there smiling.

"that was weird"

he muttered as he walked past the copy nin and out the door into the fresh air. kakashi followed the ninja and his dog. they were only a couple blocks away from the apartment when iruka spoke up.

"so what are you plans for today?"

"dont really have any-why did you want to do something?"

iruka shrugged, he was wide awake now reguardless of how tired he actually was. he figured he could work on the scroll later in the day and goto bed early to be able to start his shift tomorrow.

"alright, well we could go train for a bit"
