kakashi and his team were fully suited up and hiding from the enemy ninja's just observing what they did and said. it was rather boring, but it gave them time to talk to one another. there was no immidiete threat around them so they could relax a little.

"so how are things with iruka?"

kakashi turned to look at genma and although the man couldnt see it he frowned behind his mask.

"fine"

his clipped tone didnt go unnoticed, it was kurenai who asked if something was wrong between the two.

"no, we get along just fine-i just think we might be getting to attached to one another"

the group looked to one another, they knew what that meant. kakashi was going to start pushing the chunin away in hopes of saving himself and iruka any turmoil. it was asuma who spoke up though.

"are you sure? pushing him away might not be the right course of action here. even though he's stabalized it propably wouldnt take much to throw him back into his old ways"

kakashi knew that, thats why it was so hard, if iruka grew to attached to him and something happened. iruka would be right back at square one and it would be all his fault. it was better they break the connection now while it was still young so that the chunin could learn to adapt on his own. he told his team this and although they could understand his reasoning, it was genma who stated.

"you like him dont you?"

the other members froze, it was kinda an unspoken rule that they didnt talk about each others love lives unless it was in a joking manner, but to say something like that wasnt a normal occurence in their group. raidou shook his head at genma who just shrugged his shoulders waitig for an answer.

"he's a good shinobi, a good friend"

"thats not what i asked"

frowning kakashi tried to glare at the man, but the mask just prevented it. sighing he nodded his head, he knew genma was the least likely of them to let something go and he still had another two days with the man cooped up in a small space. he might as well get it out in the open now to avoid being tortured with the same questions over and over again.

"then you should tell him"

again he wished he could glare at his teammate, that always seemed to shut him up in the past.

"no"

"why not? are you afraid he'll say hes not interested?"

"he cant be intereseted, not after mizuki"

the others hadnt considered that but it was a distinct possibility that iruka might never try to have another relationship for fear of being abused again. sighing genma waited a couple minutes before stating.

"maybe he just needs the right person to show him not everyone is an abusive asshole"

the others chuckled a little, genma was never one for tact. kakashi looked to his teammates. he still wasnt sure about it, but he supposed the least he could do is let iruka decide for himself.

"alright i'll talk to him, now will you shut up about it"

"propably not, but hey maybe its your lucky day"

the others snorted at genma and got back to work observing their targets.

***********

iruka flopped onto his bed, he hadnt even tried to cook dinner, he'd fed mayonaka and collapsed on his bed hoping to just fall into oblivion until morning. hours passed and his body just wouldnt let him rest. turning his head he watched his ninken as she lay curled up on the bed asleep. reaching out he stroked her fur, which garnered her eyes opening to watch him for a minute or two.

"he's only been gone a couple hours and i miss him-how pathetic am i"

he let his head fall back to the bed and muffle out his talking to himself. eventually sleep claimed him.

**********

the next two days were rough for both parties. iruka had more work than ever before, ibiki's attempt to get as much done before iruka took off for a week.

kakashi's group had to trail after their targets after something spooked them from their established camp. it was a slow but steady chase into a new area, before the ninja they were following finally settled down again. kakashi just hoped that the group stayed where they were for the rest of the time, he didnt want to be late returning home.

***********

leaving the interrogation office for the last time, he was actually looking forward to getting his ass handed to him by the group of anbu he'd come to reguard as close friends. it was far better than being cooped up in the stuffy building all day with ibiki hovering over his shoulder every couple hours asking for reports. as he walked down the street he couldnt help but notice something, people were whispering around him. frowning he tried to listen in on what they were saying, but they'd quiet if he drew closer, deciding to use his ninja skills, he went down an ally and jumped up onto the roof of a neighboring building, sitting on the edge he was able to finally hear what the merchants had been saying.

"he lives with hatake-san now"

"no way hatake-san is as straight as they come"

"its true though, why would hatake-san let a chunin stay with him if they werent-together"

iruka frowned, more rumors. sighing he was about to jump down and continue on his way to the apartment when he froze.

"they say he's from wave-can you believe it, a wave nin in our village and their not doing anything about it"

iruka turned, he had to know.

"if he was really from wave, they would have arrested him right?"

sighing iruka smiled, at least someone knew how things worked.

"i heard he has amnesty for telling them about waves plans, betraying his village like that what scum, and to stick around when his own people attacked us."

iruka stared at the sky, apparently the rumor mill was in full swing and he was the unlucky target. he didnt know whether he should be angry that they would doubt his intention to the village or if he should feel honored that they wanted to protect kakashi so much. laughing a little he jumped to another roof and headed back to the apartment. mayonaka following him across the rooftops. it wasnt more than a couple of minutes before he was safely inside the apartment. sliding down the closed door iruka let the tears escape, subtle shakes wracking his body. mayonaka came closer and licked at his face. smling he reached out and drew her close to him.

"good girl"

she whined as her master held her tight to himself. she had of course heard what the other people had said about her master, it had made him upset which made her want to go back and bite them. but she knew she couldnt leave him like this. so she stayed by his side and allowed him to cry into her fur. she would be sure to report this to pakkun, he could tell her masters mate what was wrong

it took a while for iruka to pull himself together, but once he did he gathered his fallen things and put them back where they belonged, he went about the rest of the evening in silence. not even bothering to talk to mayonaka as he make dinner, ate and ventured to bed early. he lay there staring up at the ceiling unsure about what he should do.

it was a while later that he nodded. he would speak to the hokage tomorrow, he'd fix this before kakashi ever got back.

**********

tsunade was rather surprised when iruka paid her a visit early the next morning, his faithful ninken at his side. kakashi had told her all about his little experiment and she was glad to see that it seemed to be doing the chunin good.

"goodmorning iruka"

"hokage"

"what can i help you with today?"

"i need to have my own place"

she raised a brow at that, as far as she knew the two ninja had been getting along beautifully and she knew kakashi was gone which meant it wasnt his fault for this sudden change in the chunin.

"and why is that iruka?"

"its time, i've followed your rules, i've been working and taking care of myself, i need to start over"

frowning a bit, she was curious as to what had brought about this epiphany when only a few days ago kakashi had told her that the chunin seemed happy with their arangment.

"did the brat do something?"

iruka smiled to her before shaking his head.

"no kakashi's been great"

"then why leave?"

"he needs his place back, i've been a guest long enough and to stay any longer would be intruding on his hospitality."

she glanced through some paperwork as she listened to the man infront of her, she knew there were available apartments now, but she didnt want iruka to start sliding backwards. she needed to find a way to keep the man with kakashi for a little while longer.

"iruka may i ask a favor"

"of course hokage-sama anything"

"stay with kakashi"

frowning the chunin was thouroughly confused.

"why?"

"he needs you more than you need him"

ok that just made his confusion worse. he asked her to explain.

"he's had a lot of loss in his life, just like you have. the fact that you two get along so well is a testement to your friendship and how much you have in common. he has a habit of pushing people away when they get too close to him, he fears losing people and that makes him raise his guard up to prevent himself from getting hurt. your involvement in his life recently has changed him iruka"

"i dont understand hokage, how could i change him?"

"he's no longer asking for s class missions by himself, he wants to do more missions with his team that are shorter and allow him to return home, i believe that is because he has someone to return home too."

"were just friends-"

"i know that iruka, but even friends can offer comfort to one another in trying times. there is no doubt in my mind that wave will try another attack, we will need kakashi and his team ready when that happens. the best way to be prepared for this attack is to have all our able bodied shinobi at tip top shape for the looming battle and if being with you means that he wont be as reckless than so bet it i'll order you both to be chained together"

iruka smiled at her. he understood her concern for kakashi, he himself had felt dread when the man went away on missions. but to force them to live together seemed a bit much. he was about to try and argue with her when an anbu appeared in the room suddenly, bowing before the hokage and ignoring his presensence.

"im afraid you have my answer iruka, at least for now, now if you'll excuse me it seems i have some pressing matters to attend to"

he nodded his head and left the hokage alone with the anbu. shutting the door behind him as he left. at first all he could do was stand in the middle of the hallway. the hokage wanted him to look after kakashi? he couldnt help but shake his head, the lady must have had too much sake this morning. it was obvious kakashi could take care of himself quite well. walking back to the apartment he jumped as an anbu appeared before him.

"umino iruka?"

"yes?"

this was feeling way too familiar to him.

"you are to come with me"

he didnt bother to argue or to ask more questions, he knew that the anbu wouldnt answer them, so instead he allowed the man to take his arm and vanish them into thin air.

***********

kakashi and his team were tired, but not dead tired like many missions before this one. they were just relieved to be home. coming through the gates they made their way to see the hokage and give her the relivant information. they hadnt made it more than 10 ft inside the walls when another anbu appeared before them.

"wolf, you and your team are to come to the interrogation rooms immidietly"

nodding their heads they followed their comrade to the tall building. upon entering they found it oddly quiet, the man lead them down a hallway past where iruka worked, seeing the door open he couldnt help but look in, no iruka. sighing he followed after the anbu until they reached the doorway that the anbu nodded at. bowing to each other they waited for the man to leave before opening the door and entering as a collective force. they were ready for anything that waited for them on the other side.

closing the door behind them they turned around and their eyes widened as they saw iruka sitting in a chair, he was alone but not tied up like the last time he had been left in a room like this one.

"iruka?"

the man jumped but came out of his thoughts to see kakashi and his team, masks still in place.

"ah-what do i call you?"

smiling behind his mask he told the chunin wolf.

"right wolf, there's a little problem right now and so im under lock and key"

they frowned at the chunin. asuma asked what the man meant.

"one of your comrades got to me before he could, but mizuki staged a break out and about ten men are missing right now. they killed three guards during their escape"

kakashi's fist tightened. that rat had tried to take iruka? no iruka had said he had been brought here right away.

"where's ibiki?"

"i dont know, they just put me in here and told me not to leave no matter what."

the group nodded, ibiki must have wanted them to guard iruka while the other anbu searched for the missing prisoners.

"how long have you been here?"

looking to the clock in the corner he replied.

"like five hours"

"and no one's given you an update?"

shaking his head he looked over the team before him, they were dirty but no one seemed to be hurt at all. he was relieved for that. the team turned around when someone opened the door. ibiki shooed them to the other side of the room so he could talk to all of them at once.

"alright kids, im sure iruka already told you about mizuki's little stunt, we've rounded up six of the bastards but mizuki and three others managed to get into the forest before we could nab em."

the group nodded, at least some of the escaped ninja had been caught, even if it wasnt the one they were the most worried about.

"what do you want us to do?"

"you all get to have a slumber party"

ibiki was smiling at the group who were now looking at him like he was nuts.

"sorry to say this, but we only have one way to bring that traitor out of hiding-you"

he pointed to iruka, the chunin just looked wide eyed at his boss.

"what?"

"were going to use you as bait to lure him and his little followers out of the forest"

"no"

kakashi's voice was firm, but ibiki didnt pay him any mind as he continued.

"we've set up a place for you to make camp, wolfs team will be in the outlying area and look for signs of the traitors moving towards your direction, once they flush them out, they'll catch them and bring them back to konoha. all you have to do is stay out in the woods for a night or two"

iruka dumbly nodded at his boss, it wasnt a great plan but he was sure that mizuki was still mad enough at him to want to get revenge over the chance of escaping.

"alright, when do we leave?"

the anbu reguarded their charge with concern, iruka was taking this far too well.

"now, dont talk to anyone, dont stop anywhere, just go"

iruka nodded and stood from his chair. turning to the group he smiled and said

"welcome home?"

they smirked at the chunin before ibiki told them to hurry up. following the chunin out of the interrogation room they made their way outside where they would once again be able to dissapear in a swirl of leaves.

the camp that ibiki had set up was small, but had the things he would need for an couple days of camping in the woods. the anbu watched him as he inspected his pack before putting it away. standing back up he smiled at them.

"i guess i'll see you in a couple days?"

"we'll be close by"

raidou told the nervous chunin.. iruka nodded before asking.

"anything i should or shouldnt do?"

"stay in the camp"

nodding his head he settled in for a couple nights of camping, alone.

kakashi's team fanned out circling the area before meeting up at a distance. they couldnt see iruka but they could sense his chakra. it was level and calm. looking to one another they couldnt believe it.

"so the bastard found a way to break out huh?"

"appears that way, at least they got to iruka before he could"

they nodded at that, they had no problem coming up with ideas of what the sick bastard would do to the chunin if he managed to get close enough to him. they took turns circling the circumfrence of the camping area, remaining silent and moving nothing as they darted though the forest. leaving no trace of their presence.

two days passed with nothing happening, they were growing frustrated, beginning to wonder if mizuki and the other idiots had truly ran for it when the saw the first signs of trouble. a fire in the forest. the group wasnt fooled. they knew it was meant to pull them away from iruka's camp,something they were not about to do.

"are they really that stupid?"

genma asked as he scratched the top of his head. it was kakashi who pointed out.

"he did get defeated by naruto before he could even walk up tree's"

"touche"

smiling beneath his mask they watched as the fire was suddenly snuffed out only for another to start on the opposite side of the forest.

"what are they doing?"

the others shook their heads, there was no telling what their idiotic plan was. soon enough that fire too was snuffed out only for another one to start. whatever they were up too, they were starting to get annoyed.

"are they going to try and burn down the whole forest?"

snorting asuma replied.

"they have a long way to go if they are."

just as another fire was put out explosions rang out, a circle of them connecting one fire to another causing a massive cloud of ash and dust to blanket the entire forest.

"shit, make for the camp"

they each darted towards where iruka's chakra signature was. it was no longer calm, iruka was panicking.

**************

iruka felt the ground tremmor and bolted upright. he didnt know if kakashi's team was behind it or if it was mizuki but he pulled a kunai out from beneath his bedding anyways. he refused to be a sitting duck. deciding to get ready just in case he needed to move, he stored everything in his pack and threw it into the tent he had been living in. standing once more he surveyed the are. everything was quiet until darkness came rushing in. coughing iruka couldnt see anything. the smoke and ash was too thick. turning this way and that, he tried to find a way out of the smoke, but jumping into a tree didnt help the ash cloud had risen above the tree tops, covering everything in darkness. jumping back down from the tree he tried to find his way back to the tent, but crashed into a tree instead, cursing he coughed as more dust entered his lungs. feeling an aura behind him he swiftly turned around only to avoid a kunai embedding in the tree he'd crashed into. ducking low he knew if he kept quiet the enemy wouldnt be able to find him in the smoke. not easily anyways.

"come out come out whereever you are"

iruka turned to start to make his way away from the voice, when he was suddenly grabbed and pinned to a tree. a sneering face coming inches from his own.

"gotcha you little insect"

fear seized iruka for a split second before he acted on it. swiping the kunai up he grimaced as his hand was pinned to the tree instead of making contact with his enemy's gut. he was forced to drop the weapon as his arm was crushed in the man's grasp.

"there we go, so you do listen. mizuki was always saying what a good whore you are"

iruka's eyes widened. he started to struggle against the man, bringing his legs up to try and kick the offending man away. all it got him was a couple of punches to his gut for his trouble. coughing he had no choice but to let his body fall against the man infront of him.

"there we go, all nice and comfy"

he felt the man lift him up over his shoulder, weekly he struggled to move himself off of the hard shoulder digging into his abused gut. the man twisted around sharply crashing iruka's head into the tree. that was all iruka knew.

********

they made it back to the camp, only to find iruka not there. cursing they searched around the area before kurenai whistled for them. coming to their teammates side, they couldnt contain their dissapointment at what they saw. blood marked a tree. kakashi didnt rest a moment before summoning pakkun. the dog didnt need to be told what to do, he saw his master in his gear. turning around he was surprised to find some blood on a tree and orderous smell. coming closer he sniffed the blood and his eyes widened. turning to kakashi he spoke.

"its the runts"

kakashi's fists tightened. now they had no clue where the chunin was.

"i think i can track em though"

looking to the pug he asked how.

"whoever took him smells like a sewer, shouldnt be too hard to track him"

that gave the anbu hope nodding his head kakashi told pakkun to find the man or iruka whichever scent he could track. the pug nodded his head and took off into the forest, the group of anbu swift on his heels.

************

iruka groaned, his head hurt, his stomache hurt and he was pretty sure he was strung up by his wrists. that got him to focus immidietly. opening his eyes he could tell he was in a cave of some sort. but there were literally hundreds of caves around konoha, that didnt give him much hope of someone finding him before.

"hello ruru"

him. looking to the right he couldnt help but gasp as he saw the lean figure of his ex lover walking towards him. once he was close enough he wrapped his arms around iruka's neck and drew closer to him. almost as if he was embracing the chunin. iruka tried to pull back, but being that he wasnt even touching the floor he didnt have much choice on where his body went when mizuki pulled him closer.

"now ruru, do you have any idea what i went through to get this opportunity-for us to talk"

iruka wasnt stupid he didnt belive for a second that mizuki just wanted to talk. spitting at the man he summoned all his courage before saying.

"the anbu will find you"

"anbu? and what makes you think they would send anbu after little ole me"

iruka realized that mizuki didnt realize who had been at iruka's camp, he must never have seen them interacting. smiling iruka couldnt hellp but laugh at his ex lover, mizuki frowned at the laughing chunin.

"and whats so funny ruru, from where i stand you shouldnt be this happy, unless your happy to see me"

unable to stop himself, knowing that help had to be on the way he called out.

"goto hell"

mizuki's frown deepened. before he pushed away from the chunin, making iruka's body sway in the dim light from the small fire in the cave. iruka watched as mizuki went over to a small bag, pulling out a kunai he brought it back and showed it to the hanging chunin.

"do you know what im going to do with this?"

"go ahead, even if you kill me, you wont get out of fire country alive"

mizuki didnt like the way things were going, iruka was supposed to fear him, to quiver before him and beg for mercy not be brave. slashing out at the chunin he relished as iruka cried out as the gash on his chest started to bleed. it wasnt deep but then again it didnt need to be deep to cause pain. smiling at the man he had trussed up before him, he dragged the kunai over the mans chest, never pushing down, never cutting just embracing the man's skin with the sharp edge of the knife.

"i could do such wonderful things with this, to your body and no one-no one is going to stop me"

iruka shivered at the tone of voice. he remembered that tone of voice all to well. mizuki smiled up at him, he was glad that he could induce such a response from the chunin in front of him. taking the kunai away from irukas chest he asked a simple question.

"did you miss me ruru?"

"no"

"but you always came to visit me, dont you remember?"

"i came because i wanted to try and help you-i realize now thats never going to happen. your just a twisted sick fuck who enjoys getting off on other's torture"

mizuki frowned for a moment before shrugging his shoulders. it was true, he did love seeing people writhing in pain as if they were experiencing the ultimate pleasure, it was such a high for him. deciding that he had waited long enough he took the kunai and placed it on the chunin's chest again.

"beg me"

"no"

the kunai dug into iruka's flesh, illiciting a hiss as blood began to fall from the sharp point piercing him.

"beg me"

"no"

pulling down, he dragged the blade along some unknown path, going around the man's nipple to come around his belly button and finally come to a stop just at the edge of his pants. iruka was panting, the cut again wasnt deep but it hurt none the less. he watched in mild facination as mizuki brought the blade back up to his chest, the man's cold eyes watched him, but when iruka didnt react he frowned.

"ruru im dissapointed in you, i thought we would have a better time together, but if you want this all to end i guess i can be pursuaded to start taking things seriously."

pulling the kunai away, mizuki took a step back and twisted the kunai around so that the pointy end was facing him, his hand still on the handle he drove the solid metal object into iruka's side using it as a club to inflict more pain with his punch. iruka gasped as pain blossomed in his side, the kunai hilt being unforgiving. he barely had time to process the pain before he was hit again and again. iruka's body swung back and forth because of the relentless blows upon his body.

"scream for me ruru"

iruka cried out in pain but he refused to scream, he refused to cry infront of mizuki. instead he focused on his anger. how could he have ever loved a man like this.

*********

pakkun lead them through the forest before stopping at the bottom of a steep slope up a small rocky mountain.

"they went that way boss"

nodding the anbu started to jump up the hillside, pakkun in kakashi's arms until they made it to level ground. the dog sniffed around again before darting to the left. the anbu followed.

**********

iruka's world was a haze of pain, he could idly feel someone kissing his neck, a hand down the front of his pants, but the pain clouded his mind too much. he gasped as suddenly pleasure spiked from between his legs, clearing the fog just enough for iruka to realize what was happening. pulling away as much as he could he tried to twist his body away.

"now ruru i was being nice i was even going to let you finish"

iruka gritted his teeth as his sensitive organ was palmed by the man infront of him.

"let go of me"

mizuki didnt seem to care what he wanted, he just went back to sucking the man's neck into his mouth trying to make a wonderful hickey to leave on the mans body. jerking in mizuki's grasp iruka tried to think of something he could do, twisting his head to the left he smiled. mizuki was close enough, letting the man have better access to his throat he in turn got better access to mizuki. he quickly clamped his teeth down on the man's bare shoulder and bit as hard and as deep as he could, mizuki screamed at the sudden pain and tried to pull away but iruka refused to let go. mizuki lashed out punchiing iruka in the kidney over and over until iruka could take no more and was forced to relinquish his hold of the man. even though it hurt it was worth it, mizuki was no longer touching him, instead he was anaylyzing the blood on his hand after touching his shoulder. he glared at iruka and the chunin took the time to spit out blood showing his bloody teeth from tearing into mizuki.

"you little shit"

his head jerked back at the forcefull blow, but it still couldnt take the smile off of his face. instead he just closed his bruised eye and watched as mizuki continued to curse as he tried to get a look at his wound. finally the man turned back around to face him.

"your going to regret that"

"hardly"

frowning mizuki approached the chunin before yanking on something, it wasnt until his world went dark that he realized that mizuki had pulled his hitae down to cover his eyes. it wasnt a moment later before somthing just as hard was shoved into his mouth, forcing his jaw open at an odd and painful angle to prevent him from making noise.

"since you wont scream for me, i might as well take away the option, you dont seem to be happy to see me anymore, things would have gone a lot easier for you if you had"

the man's tone of voice grew darker with each word. feeling his body swing back and forth iruka couldnt help but wonder what was going to happen next. he couldnt see, he couldnt talk, all he had left was his ability to listen to what the man was doing around him. he heard some rustling before mizuki came back to stand infront of him.

"when this is all over ruru, im gonna let those goons use you until the sun comes up"

iruka stilled,he knew what he meant, mizuki was just going to hand him over to be some fucktoy to some sick perverted traitor of the village.

"and you wanna know the best part ruru, im gonna watch every fucking minute of it and when their finally done with you i'll consider putting you down like the dog you are"

iruka was beginning to lose hope, he knew that kakashi wouldnt stop looking for him, but by his estimate it had already been an hour if not more. what was taking the anbu so long? he didnt have long to think about such things before pain began to be inflicted once more on his body.

************

going up the hillside the team stilled when pakkun halted infront of them. crouching down they peered through the night and saw three men at the mouth of the cave. smiling they knew they'd found the right place.

"good work pakkun"

"sure thing boss, call me if you need me"

with that the pug dissapeared leaving it to the squad of anbu to wrap things up. signaling to his team, he watched as raidou, genma and asuma got into place while kurenai walked out into the middle of the field exposing herself to attack but also giving her teammates a chance to get behind the enemy nin.

the guards took notice of the female anbu and tensed, they were about to try and fight the woman when they fell to the ground. kakashi sprang out of the bushes and his team and hiim entered the cave, not sure what they would find.

the cave winded around a couple of times before they started to hear things. namely a very confident mizuki taunting iruka.

"and to think i used to think you were worth something"

they winced at the harsh words, but prepared to take the man down, they could hear him moving about and just wanted to make sure he was far enough away from the chunin before acting. peering around the cave they're eyes widened. iruka was suspended from the cave ceiling by his wrists, his eyes and mouth were both disabled and he had various cuts along his body, but the already deep bruising left little to the imagination. iruka had been being hit for a while now and hard by the looks of it. it wasnt until they saw what mizuki was doing that they launched into action.

the man once again held the kunai backwards and drove the handle in first into iruka's tender stomache causing the man to groan into the gag and his body to tense at the pain. smilng mizuki was about to strike again, when he suddenly found himself against the opposite wall. a group of anbu surrounding him. he froze in fear.

"how-how, why did they send you? im not worth your time?"

the anbu reguarded the slime in front of them. he wasnt worth their time and they wanted to turn their attention to iruka, but kakashi spoke clearly.

"he is worth our time"

with that he bashed the man's head against the wall with more force than was nessasary to render the man no longer a threat. once that was done they turned to iruka. as a team they moved as one, kakashi coming over to support the man's bruised frame, lifting up as asuma cut the rope holding iruka's hands above his head. genma and raidou help kakashi lower the man to the floor and kurenai began assessing the chunin, while asuma tore off the hitae and gag letting iruka see for the first time in an hour. the anbu saw the blackened eye and the blood around the chunin's mouth and began to worry that he might be bleeding internally, looking to kurenai as she focused her chakra to analyze the man's wounds they were shocked when iruka spoke, having believed the man to be unconciosis.

"please say you accidently killed him"

kakashi smiled at the man and moved into his range of sight, iruka smiled at him before wincing as kurenai pushed on his abdomen.

"sorry, not allowed to use excessive force-but we could kick him a couple times if you'd like"

genma offered. iruka smiled to the man, god he had missed them. kurenai pulled away with a slight frown on her face. her teammates didnt like that.

" he might be bleeding, im not sure-im no med nin and with the bruising that's present.-"

she let the sentence hang and her team understood. they needed to get iruka back to konoha where a med nin could look after him. iruka took a shuddering breath which made the anbu around him hold their own breaths, it sounded so painful for the man to breath. kurenai reached out a gloved hand and wiped some blood from iruka's mouth.

"its not bright so thats good"

the team nodded before iruka asked.

"whats not bright?"

"the blood"

they saw the confusion on his face so kurenia explained.

"you might be bleeding iruka internally, the blood on your lips isnt bright so it means we have time to transport you home without having to use jutsu's that could make your wounds worse."

iruka just turned his head to look at her, he didnt say anything at first before telling them.

"its not my blood"

the anbu looked at him, waiting for him to continue, and after another shuddering breath he did.

"i bit him"

the group of anbu were in shock, iruka had bit mizuki? getting up, raidou walked over and looked at mizuki carefully, pulling the mans shirt aside he saw the deep puncture wound left by iruka's teeth. smiling he turned back to his team and held his thumb up. they all sighed.

"damn kid how hard did you tear into him?"

iruka smiled at genma before answering.

"he was touching me-so i showed him how if felt about that"

they couldnt help but let out a little chuckle. it was interuppted however when mizuki groaned, raidou frowned at he man and landed another solid punch to the man's temple before turning back to his team.

"did raidou just hit him again"

"yep"

"good, raidou hits hard"

the anbu group smiled, they were as careful as they could be when the lifted iruka onto asuma's back, but iruka couldnt hide his pain and cried out as his abused body was moved. once he was settled on asuma's back, they gathered up the rest of the prisoners and headed for home.
