Everything Is All Right In The End…


Iruka had found a small cave by the river and he made a small makeshift bed out of leaves and soft grass. Kakashi had a fever and he was covered in scratches but his only serious wound was the one in his side. The young chunin did his best to dress the wound properly after he cleaned it and all he could do now was wait.


He didn’t have any medicine on him but he knew that certain herbs did certain things and he wasted no time in gathering them. He fretted over Kakashi, constantly changing the moist cloth on the jonin's forehead aeplaeplacing the bandages every few hours. They could risk Kakashi’s wound getting infected and he knew they would have to move out soon. He barely got any sleep, but it was worth it when on the second day Kakashi opened his eyes and whispered Iruka’s name.


Things only went up hill from there, Kakashi’s fever finally broke ae wae was presently sleeping peacefully. Iruka only roused the Jonin to feed him and to redress his wounds, which he was having to do less and less often. Then, one morning the exhausted chunin woke to find Kakashi’s bed empty and he jumped up, a cold fear filling him.


He ran out of the cave, stumbling as he followed the jonin's uneven footsteps into the woods and his mias ras racing with horrible worries. “ Kakashi” He hissed jumping into the low branches and pausing for a moment when he heard a noise up ahead. He landed softly on the pine needles and cautiously walked towards the noise.


“ Hey Iruka-koi!” Kakashi’s soft whisper startled the young chunin and he smiled as Iruka whirled to face him.


“ Kakashi! Damn it! You scared the hell out of me!” Iruka breathed as he swallowed the scream that had jumped to his throat and he glared at the smirking Kakashi. “ What the hell are you doing out here anyway? You shouldn’t even be up…” He trailed off as Kakashi gingerly walked up to him.


“ I had to go to the bathroom,” Kakashi whispered sheepishly and he gently pressed his lips to the young chunins. “ I missed you Iruka, “ he whispered, turning and making his way back to their makeshift shelter.


Iruka watched the retreating back of his lover and he gently ran a finger over his lips. He had missed the feeling of the jonin's lips and he was angry that he had been so rude to his love. He sighed and followed the silver haired Jonin back towards the river.


Not many were exchanged that day and Iruka felt a sort of guilt gnawing at his conscious. When he rebandaged Kakashi's wound he was sure his hands were extra gentle and he gave sweet smiles anytime the still slightly pale Jonin’s eyes met his. He waited till Kakashi fell asleep again before he went back out and walked along the river. They were running low on food and they would have to start heading back in a day or two. ‘ I wonder if Kakashi will be able to start for home tomorrow.’ He was lost in his thought when suddenly the ground beneath his feet gave way.


He felt his stomach rise to his throat and he clenched his teeth, ready for the impact that never came. Instead he fell into a pool of water and he gave a slight gasp when he felt the warm water soak his clothes. He sank about five feet before his feet touched the mud and he swam back to the surface. He smiled and rolled onto his back. The warm water felt divine and he took down his hair, washing it free of dirt and dried blood. ´Speaking of washing’ He thought as he climbed out of the pool and was silently thankful he didn’t have any of his weapons with him, or they would have been ruined. ‘ashiashi needs a bath, he smells like blood and I hate that smell on him.’ The young chunin quickly wrung out his hair and pulled it back again, before heading back towards his sleeping lover.

“Kakashi?” Iruka whispered quietly, kneeling by the jonin's bedside and gently running his fingers through the mans matted hair. “ Hey, come on, you need a bath.”


Kakashi opened his eyes slowly and blinked, looking up into Iruka's dark eyes, “ Morning” he whispered and he sat up with a slight grunt of pain.


Iruka looked at him with worried eyes, “ You going to be okay?”” he asked kneeling by Kakashi's side and laying a gentle hand on the jonin's shoulder


“ Yeah I’ll be fine” Kakashi smiled and he was grateful for the help of Iruka as he was pulled up to his feet. “ Now what did you say?” He stretched cautiously, wincing slightly as he felt his wound protest and he turned to Iruka, gently taking the young man in his arms and spreading soft kisses over his face and neck.


“ I-um, a bath, there’s a hot spring down the ways and I was assuming it would be nice to have a bath, but ya know we can always forget the bath…” Iruka whimpered but as he wrapped his arms around the Jonin trying to pull him closer Kak Kakashi cried out softly and pushed him away quickly. The young chunin was silently confused for a moment before he realized what he had done and he mentally slapped himself. “ OhmyGo! Kakashi-Koi, I’m so sorry!”


Kakashi held a gentle hand over his wound as ripples of pain rushed through him and he gave a small smile to Iruka, “ Its ok, now how about that bath?”

Iruka lead the silver haired Jonin to the spring, gently helping Kakashi strip himself of his clothes before removing his own and sliding into the water after his lover. It felt wonderfully divine and he smiled as he swam over to his silver haired Jonin, who had situated himself on a rock half in and half out of the water. He playfully splashed the Jonin who smiled at him sweetly before leaning down to capture his lips lovingly and making the chunin melt at the touch.


Kakashi loved the feel of the water sliding over his skin, washing away dirt and blood. He smiled as Iruka took down his hair and swan over to him, being sure to splash him in the process. He missed Iruka and he was going to make up for lost time. ‘ As soon as I get better’ he thought as he leaned down to kiss Iruka and his wound protested faintly. He ended the kiss reluctantly and made the chunin turn around. “ I want to wash your hair.” He whispered as he ran his fingers through the silky mass.


“ Your hair needs to be washed too you know.” Iruka said quietly as Kakashi’s hands lulled him to sleep, “ Hey Kakashi…I missed you so much…. and I’m glad your alive, because when I thought you had died…” The young chunin felt his voice break with tears and he held his head in his hands, trying to stop trembling, “ I…was so worried I had lost you” he ended in a whisper and he felt a single tear leak out of his eye. He gasped silently as he felt the jonin's strong arms wrap around him, pulling him back so his back was firmly pressed against the scarecrows firm chest and he smiled as Kakashi kissed his neck and licked at the salty tear on his cheek.


“ I missed you too…” Kakashi whispered, pulling Iruka up onto the rock with his and situating the dolphin in his lap. “ But just so you know, you wont get rid of me that easily” He laughed softly into the chunins war as the darker man snuggled into his chest and smiled as he placed soft, open mouthed kisses on his neck and shoulders. He ran gentle hands over the chunins sides, his fingers tracing lazy patterns over the dolphins flat stomach and he watched as the mans eyes drooped shut. He shivered as he leaned down for another kiss.


Iruka could feel sleep tugging at his consciousness but Kakashi's roaming hands kept him just on the edge and when he felt Kakashi kiss him he sighed in content, trying to bury himself deeper into his loverms.rms. He gave a small whimper when the Jonin pulled away and he attacked the mans neck, making him whimper. He realized just how much he had missed the small noises that ha mat mattered before and he gently nibbled on the mans soft neck.


Kakashi let his head roll back as the young Iruka licked and teased his neck. He slid lower into the water, biting his lip as he felt the dolphin’s fingers tangle in the hair at the base of his neck and he gave out a soft cry as the chunin bit his neck gently. He moaned in loss as the dolphin pulled back and swam to the other side of the pool.


That warm embrace and those gently teasing fingers were hard to tear away from but he wanted to show Kakashi just how much he missed him and he climbed out of the pool, being sure to give Kakashi a good view of his backside. He sat on the soft grass that surrounded the pool, flashing a sweet smile at the man across the pool and he laid back, eyeser ler leaving those mismatconesones.


Kakashi was slightly confused as he watched the chunin climb out of the warm water, feeling his face flush at the sight of Iruka's pert bottom and he smiled when he saw Iruka lay back on the moss under him. “ What are you doing Iruka-koi?” he could feel a stirring in his groin as Iruka smiled at him and trailed an idle hand down his stomach. He knew what he was doing now and he licked his lips. He sank deeper into the water,rtinrting forward when he was to by by Iruka’s hissing command.


“ Don't! Stay there! I want to show you how much I missed you…” Iruka let his hand drift to his navel, smiling again before reaching down and grasping his half erect arousal. “ I want to show you how much I love you.” He whispered as he squeezed himself gently and his eyes never left the suddenly flushed jonin's. He moaned softly as he stroked himself slowly, watching through pleasure clouded eyes as the Jonin whimpered and reached a cautious hand down towards his rapidly rising erection, giving the chunin a questioning look. “ Yes, yes do it…show me how much you missed me.” He hissed between breaths that were coming in rapid pants and he moved his hand faster, squeezing himself tighter when he saw Kakashi take hold of his own erection.


It was a beautiful sight to see, his pretty lover sprawled on the grass, his legs spread and his cock hard. The whole scene practically screamed ‘Fuck me!’ and oh how he wanted to…but he wasn’t healed yet and to this his lover would mean he would open the wound in his side. It was like some sort of erotic torture and he hated it…yet he loved it. He reached a guilty hand down to stroke himself, questioning Iruka silently and when the panting chunin said yes, he hardly heard the rest of his sentence as he grasped himself firmly. He gave a quiet gasp as the water made his hand easily glide up and down his aching arousal and he moaned as he watched Iruka pant.


Iruka was about to lose it as he watched Kakashi whimper and moan against the rocks. Just the simple fact that the Jonin was watching him do this forbidden act was enough to make shivers wash down his spine and his cock harden in his hand. He used his thumb to spread the precum tat oozed over his aching arl anl and he moaned at the feeling of the added friction. He was swallowing his gasping breaths as he felt that familiar coiling in his stomach and he whimpered Kakashi’s name.


Kakashi saw it, that look that Iruka always got before he came, the look that plainly stated, ‘ I’m going to cum but…just a little more…’ He softly called out to Iruka, his hand never slowing nor skipping a beat. “ Iruka,” he whimpered, looking into those dark, pleasure clouded eyes “ Cum Iruka” he whimpered as the chunin arched off the grass, his mouth open in a silent scream ad he thrust into his hand one last time before covering his hand and stomach in his milky seed. The Jonin watched it all, eyes never leaving his lovers as he groaned and came, his seed spreading in the water around him.


Iruka whimpered as the blood rushed back to his head and he watched as Kakashi groaned while he came into the water around him. He laid there for a minute, letting the tremors of his orgasm pass and he smiled over at Kakashi, “ I love you” he whispered as he brought his hand to his lips and licked his own seed off slowly, being sure the Jonin saw him. He got up and slid into the water, the seed on his stomach melting away as he swam towards the still slightly panting Kakashi.


Kakashi watched through half lidded eyes as Iruka swam up onto his lap and kissed him deeply. He felt the young chunin open his mouth invitingly and Kakashi accepted the invite, his tongue leaving his own mouth to tethe the smooth one that was his lovers. He could taste the dolphin’s seed in his mouth and he shivered as he eagerly lapped at the chunins lips. He felt the younger man pull away after a minute, electing a moan of protest that was quickly silenced by the other mans gentle fingers pressed against his lips.


“ Now see what you have done!” Iruka whispered in mock sternness, “ we are both a mess and we need another bath!” he smiled as Kakashi looked at him like he was crazy but he proceeded to take the water into his cupped hands and gently wash off his stomach before moving to wash the grumbling jonin's hair. He ignored the protest and he continued to bath his lover, 30 minutes later they were both dressed and headed back to their encampment.

Later that night as Kakashi leaned against the stonewall and watched, Iruka went through the cave, packing things and sifting through what they needed and what they could leave behind. He didn’t want Kakashi to carry anything and though he looked worlds better, with color in his face and an appetite to rival even Naruto’s. He cast a smile in the lounging jonin's direction and after piling all his stuff by the door he went and plopped down by his lover. He gently laid his head on the mans shoulder and he intertwined his fingers with the jonin's.


Kakashi smiled as Iruka closed his eyes and he ran a gentle thumb over the other mans hand. He laid his head on top of the younger mans, moving so he could reach around and remove the mans forehead protector. Right before he threw it across the room, he recognized it and held it up to the light, “ Is this mine?” he laughed softly and he gently kissed the dolphin’s forehead.


“ Yeah, its yours.” Iruka said softly as he si, he, he was falling asleep, falling into a sleep he hadn’t be able to reach since the Jonin had left and he had gotten word that the his lover was dead, he could feel the Jonin chuckle and he felt the man snake his arm around his waist, squeezing him gently.


“ You didn’t even wash off the blood…” Kakashi grimaced “ I know you love me, Iruka, but…that’s kinda gross.” He couldn’t help but laugh again and he laid it to the side, he would wash it later. It felt nice, laying next to his lover and he closed his eyes, shifting a little as his wound protested faintly. Tomorrow they would start for home and he couldn’t wait to get back so he could sleep in a real bed with his warm lover. He tightened his arm around Iruka before following the young man into sleep.

Iruka awoke to the gentle sunlight that was filtering through the trees and splashing into the cave. He sat up abruptly when he realized that Kakashi had gone AWOL again and he sighed. He stood up gingerly, stretching out his cramped muscles before glancing about for his missing lover. “ Morning!” Iruka whirled, catching sight of his silver haired love, slandering out of the forest, headband in place and cloth over his lips and nose. “ Good morning” he replied faintly as Kakashi calmly walked up to him and nuzzled his cloth-covered lips against the startled chunins.


Kakashi laughed softly as Iruka stuttered and blushed as the Jonin walked past him. As he had kissed Iruka he had let his hands wander, gently reminding the youhunihunin of yesterday and days to come. He smiled as he gathered his ANBU uniform, leaving the weapons for the flushed chunin and he started for the village. He gave a gentle smile to Iruka as the young man fell into step with him and they walked in silence, simply enjoying each other’s presence.


Iruka didn’t know why Kakashi's firm but gentle hand had startled him and made him blush like he had but now, walking with him he felt a certain calm emitting from the Jonin. He sighed softly as the two ANBU swords rested against his hip, reminding him why he had traveled so far, stirring a darker side in him. He returned the jonin's smile and he silently drowned in his thoughts, as silence drowned them. The silence wasn’t uncomfortable, nor awkward, it was simply peaceful and he smiled, reaching out to gently take the Jonin’s hand in his own.


It took them 3 more days than it took Iruka but then again they weren’t in a rush to save a dying/ dead lover. The whole time they walked, holding each other’s hand and occasionally stopping to kiss passionately. On the evening of the 6th day they spotted Konohagakure village on the horizon and they decided to camp before heading home. It was a beautiful night and so Iruka decided they would be okay if they slept under the sky and on the soft grass in the field they were in. They laid on there backs quietly, hands still intertwined lovingly and they watched the stars dance serenely across the sky.


“ Your side feeling better?” Iruka whispered, rolling so his face nuzzled into Kakashi’s neck and he placed a gentle kiss on a soft cloth covered cheek. He hadn’t changed the jonin's bandage in about 4 days, in fact they had left the wound open so it could breath and he was happy at how fast it was healing.


“ Yeah, actually…” Kakashi rolled over on top of the young man, hearing him grunt softly but offer up no sound of protest and he straddled the mans stomach, smiling down at him sweetly. He gently leaned down and captured the chunins lips; nuzzling his cloth covered ones against his lovers. He sat back and pulled down the black clot, smiling sweetly at the young chunin under him before leaning back down and covering the chunins face with soft kisses.


Iruka sighed softly as he felt the warm weight of Kakashi on him and he closed his eyes softly as he felt the smooth silk of the jonin's cloth slide over his lips. His hands gently slid up to the others man waist squeezing him gently before feeling those lips on his face again. He gave a small whimper as the Jonin kissed his cheeks, forehead and his eyelids, determined it seemed to cover every inch of his skin in kisses. He slid his fingers beneath the older mans unzipped vest, nimble fingers dancing over a firm smooth stomach and stroking his soft hips.


Kakashi sighed gently and he began to slowly rock his hips against Iruka’s hard stomach, gently grinding himself into the smaller man. He knew it was too early to heave sex but they were just playing and he wanted to get well faster so he could show the chunin how much he missed him, how much he wanted him. He chuckled as he felt Iruka unzip his vest and slid his hands beneath the fabric. He pressed harder kisses to the mans face, feeling the skin slid under his lips. He gave a soft gasp when Iruka ran gentle fingers over his still sore side and he whimpered when the younger man pulled away quickly.


“ I’m sorry” Iruka breathed and he gave Kakashi a apologetic kiss. He had been caught up in lust and he forgot that Kakashi was still tender. He smiled up at the Jonin as he laid his head on his shoulder and he ran affectionate hands through those white locks. He liked the feel of the older man laying on him and he traced random patterns on the jonin's back. “ Tired?” he whispered, lips gently kissing a cool, soft ear and his tongue flicked out to tease the soft lobe.


“ Kinda” Kakashi whispered as he closed his eyes and sighed as Iruka gently nibbled on his ear. He was still weak, usually fooling around with Iruka like that wouldn’t even wind him but now his limbs felt heavy and he was ready for a good long nap. He sighed and snuggled his face deeper into his lover’s neck. “ Sleepy, sleepy, sleepy…”


Iruka laughed softly and he rubbed soothing circles over Kakashi's back, “ Than sleep silly.” He whispered as the Jonin sighed softly and he became slightly heavier as his breathing became rhythmic. He hugged the older man gently before putting his hands behind his head and looking at the stars. ‘ We’re almost home…’ he thought forlornly, it wasn’t that he didn’t want to go home…he was just nervous about the greeting him and Kakashi would get. After all, he did break into the Hokage’s place, steal and then threatened another man. He grimaced slightly, ‘ well…’ he sighed and gave a soft grunt as the man on top of him shifted slightly, digging a sharp elbow into the younger mans ribs, ‘ ok lets see if we can even make it through the night…’


Kanohagure. The village was quiet as the sun rose over the horizon and bathed Iruka and Kakashi, still tangled in sleep. Iruka was the first to wake as the older man shifted again and dug an knees into the chunins thigh. He bit his lip as he stifled a cry and he gently rolled the older man to the ground. He lay quiet for a moment, watching the sky turn from purple to pink before he stood quietly and stretched. He smiled down at the slightly snoring Jonin and he kneeled by him.


“ Hey, Kakashi? Wakey, wakey!” Iruka ran an affectionate hand over one of the jonin's cheeks and he smiled as the older man rolled over mumbling about 5 more minutes.


Kakashi groaned and rolled so his back was to the source that was conspiring to wake him from his blissful sleep. He was still tired and all he wanted to do was sleep but he rolled to his knees, smiling groggily up at Iruka. He sighed softly as the young chunin leaned down to kiss him and he delighted as he felt the mans tongue gently trace his lips before parting them and diving inside. He moaned softly as there tongues sparred and he reached up to gently cup the back of his lovers neck. This was nice, he liked the feel of the young chunins smooth tongue sliding over his and he deepened the kiss briefly before pulling away slightly breathless.


“ Good morning to you too.” Iruka whispered, the kiss had made him flush and he smiled down at Kakashi, offering his hand to help the Jonin up. He pulled the older man to his feet and they started towards the village. The chunin never let go of the older mans hand as they walked, each step in sync and the younger man gently rested his head on the jonin's shoulder, nervousness twisting his stomach.


Kakashi gently squeezed Iruka's hand as they walked, he would feel the mans nervousness and it made him slightly jumpy. He wasn’t sure how Iruka had gotten information on where his team had went but he was pretty sure that the Hokage didn’t just hand it to him. As they arrived at the gates to the village he heard Iruka take a deep breath beside him and he turned smiling at the slightly shorter man. “ Calm down, every things going to be ok, okay?”


Iruka nodded as Kakashi leaned down and kissed him gently before walking through the gate with him. The village seemed to have stopped as Iruka and Kakashi walked through towards the Hokage’s house. They smiled as people came up to them and asked them what had happened and where Kakashi was. They wouldn’t say anything to anyone, just smile and nod. When they arrived in front of the Hokage’s they weren’t surprised to see him calmly standing in the street, an easy smile on his face as Iruka and Kakashi walked up to him.


“ Its nice to see you Kakashi, Iruka.” The Hokage smiled at both of them and nodded as they both bowed slightly, “ I wont ask where you went, how you did it or who you killed but I do ask you not speak about it with everyone understand?” He studied the two men as they nodded and Iruka stared at the ground. The men were still holding hands and Kakashi had a gentle hand on his side. He really didn’t want to know he was just happy that Kakashi and Iruka were alive. “ Now go, it is Friday and Iruka you have work on Monday and Kakashi…you see me than ok?”


“ Yes sir. “ Iruka whispered and he backed up with Kakashi before turning and leaping up to the rooftops. He wanted to avoid the crowd and they raced along the houses, the young chunin suddenly filled with happiness. He was home, h had his lover alive and for the most part well and he wasn’t in a lot of trouble. Life was good and he landed softly on his roof, not evening pausing for Kakashi as he jumped through his window.


Kakashi followed Iruka through the dawn, leaping from rooftop to rooftop and following him through his window. As soon as his feet touched the ground his lover, his tongue trying to lick his tonseils, tackled him and he moaned into his mouth. He laughed as Iruka licked his way over to his ear lobe, making him gasp and he moaned as he felt the young chunins hands grasp his ass, rocking him forward. “ Iruka...” he whimpered, he knew his lover was feeling a little needy and he was willing to ignore the dull ache in his side as the young man attacked his mouth again.


Iruka was grinding himself against Kakashi when suddenly the bedroom door burst open and in waltzed Naruto. Iruka pulled away from Kakashi with a quiet moan and he glared at the hyperactive ninja. “ What do you want?” He hissed as Naruto ran towards him and pushed Kakashi out of the way as he jumped into his arms.


“ Iruka-sensei!!!!” Naruto clung to Iruka like cling wrap and he refused to let go. “ I missed you!!! I thought you had died but then Sasuke said not to be stupid, but I always knew you were okay and do you want to go buy me some ramen?” Naruto rambled on as Iruka struggled to free himself from the young ninjas grasp and Kakashi watched from the far side of the room, a smile present on his face.


“ Naruto how about I get you some ramen tomorrow, okay? Now will…you…leave?” Iruka hissed and Kakashi laughed softly from the other side of the room. He could see a vein pulsing in the young chunins forehead and he decided now would probably be a good time to step in.


“ Here, Naruto, why don't you stay here with us tonight and tomorrow morning we will go get you ramen.” Kakashi watched as Naruto’s face lit up and Iruka’s lip curled as he gave Kakashi a death glare. He couldn’t help but laugh as Naruto finally let go of Iruka and bounced around the room happily.


“ Kakashi…” Iruka hissed he really didn’t want Naruto to stay, he really wanted to just jump in bed with his lover and make hot steamy love to him but seeing as Naruto was now clinging to Kakashi’s leg that wasn’t about to happen. “ Damn you”


“ I love you too Iruka!” Kakashi laughed as Naruto looked from him to Iruka a slightly confused look on his face before it lit up and he jumped at Iruka.


“ I love you too!!!” Naruto yelled and he abandoned Kakas les leg for Iruka's chest.


Iruka looked from Kakashi's smiling face to Naruto who was clinging to his chest lovingly. He loved them both and he smiled lovingly at Kakashi. ‘Sex can wait’ he thought as he hugged Naruto back and mouthed the words “I love you” to the Jonin standing across the room. “ Hey Naruto…”


“ Yeah” Naruto’s response was slightly muffled by Iruka's vest.


“ How about that ramen now?” Iruka smiled as Naruto jumped off his chest and danced around the room happily.


“ Really?”


“ Yes really, let go” Iruka pushed Naruto out of the house and walked beside Kakashi, taking his hand in his as they walked. He smiled as he watched Naruto jump around in front of them, ‘ Life is good’
