Chibi writes �I own Naruto� on a piece of paper. A kunai with an exploding tag pinned
said paper to the table. Chibi gasps in horror then grabs the kunai (with
everything attached to it� yes, including the table) and hurls it from the
balcony. An explosion shortly followed.

~*~

A/N: SASUKE!!!!! WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT EXPLODING
TAGS IN THE HOUSE? YOU�LL PAY FOR THAT TABLE, TEMEE!!!! Chibi sighs. That bastard� Grrr. He doesn�t even know how to follow house rules�.

Anyway,
here�s chapter 8! Thanks for the reviews� You keep me writing! I love you guys
so much�. But hey, enough of the
sappiness and on to the fic!

Chapter 8:
The Beginnings of Possessiveness

~*~

�We have a
D-class mission today.�

Disbelief
and annoyance met the announcement.

Sakura
sighed. �What is it this time?�

�Our furry
little friend ran away again�.�

�WHAT?!�

Naruto was
obviously sick of playing hide and seek with the blasted animal. And no, he
didn�t hate the cat. He was irritated at the fact that he was doing another
low-level mission that didn�t exploit his fighting prowess. And
to have this mission again?
His career path was practically going in circles. And so, he stomped up to the
jounin instructor.

�Sensei, we
need to talk.�

His tone of
voice left no room for arguments, and Kakashi wisely followed the boy. While
walking, the older man tried to break the tense atmosphere.

�Oi, thanks
for yesterday.�

If one
listened closely enough, one could have heard the cogs and gears shift in
Naruto�s head. The blond stopped and slowly turned towards his teacher, his
face a picture of pure mischief and self-assured victory. The gray-haired man
started to sweat. The vulpine grin was just too intense to ignore.

What now?

The jounin
hastily constructed make-shift plans for both escape and damage control, should
there be any need for them.

�Ne,
Kakashi-sensei�� Ah, a voice dripping with what seemed like honey. Kakashi was
instantly broken out of his paranoid preparations.

�You owe me
big time, don�t you?�

He knew it! He just knew it�

�Hmm�
Maybe...� He made sure his voice sounded nonchalant.

Expectant
silence stretched on.

And then,
�We�ll talk about this later� For now, finish the mission.�

Kakashi
sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. It couldn�t be helped. He was on the
losing side from the very beginning.

Naruto�s
grin only widened; if that was even possible.

~*~

Team Seven
was staking out in the forest, looking for any sign of their target. They
prepared small traps and trip wires here and there to aid them in the search.
Sasuke sat on a high branch and scanned the area.

Nothing here�

He wanted
to focus on the task at hand, but there was a nagging feeling of unrest in his
gut. He just couldn�t stop feeling bothered.

Kakashi dragged Naruto off again. What for? It
seems he�s been doing that a lot lately�

Sasuke
conveniently forgot that it was Naruto who dragged the other off this time.

What the hell were they talking about? What
happened yesterday? Why was Kakashi thanking him?

More questions
plagued the young Uchiha�s mind. He had heard every word. Apparently, the two
didn�t go off that far. And who knew Sasuke would use his shinobi techniques to
eavesdrop on a conversation that seemed so unimportant?

Sasuke
descended from his perch and hid behind another tree. He knew Naruto and Sakura
were just behind him. The team had successfully located the cat.

A light
buzz sounded in his ear.

�How far
are you from the target?� Kakashi�s voice queried.

He felt
resentment course through him, but he quelled it. To accomplish the mission is
the top priority.

�Five
meters� I�m ready anytime,� Sasuke answered quietly.

�Me too,�
two voices echoed.

�Go!� The signal was given.

The three
genin lunged at the target, Naruto giving out a battle cry.

�Gotcha!�
the hyperactive blond caught the cat in his arms.

Kakashi
appeared. �Good job, you three. Now let�s head back.�

Naruto
stared long and hard at his sensei. Kakashi caught the look and sighed. �I�m
gonna go ahead to file the mission report. You guys catch up, okay?� With a
soft poof and some smoke, he vanished.

None of
these escaped the watchful eyes of the Uchiha.

~*~

Iruka sat
on his desk, classifying the missions and filing the accomplished reports. He
came across a C-rank mission and smiled, remembering the events earlier.

~*~

Kakashi
suddenly appeared in front of his working area. Iruka blinked and noticed a
folder in his hand.

�You�re
submitting the report early. This is a surprise��

�Actually,
I only used it as an excuse.�

�Eh?� Iruka
looked at the jounin, totally clueless.

�Naruto
would probably be yelling about a higher-ranking mission later��

The chuunin
sighed. Naruto was just so� well� Naruto.

Kakashi�s
hand stroked the dolphin�s face. �I need a favor��

Iruka was
blushing. How cute. ��Kashi! I�m working!�

The
scarecrow smirked beneath his mask. �Ah, what�s this? My sweet little Iruka�s
having naughty thoughts!� Iruka�s blush went from pink to outright red.

�Hmm,�
Kakashi went into a thoughtful stance, �I would have liked to ask for something
like that, but there�s something else��

At this,
the academy teacher snapped out of his embarrassment. His curiosity always won
out.

�Could you
allow them just a teeny-weeny C-rank mission?�

��

��

�YOU WANT ME TO DO WHAT?!�

The masked nin was covering his ears. It would be a shame if an elite
jounin like himself wasn�t able to foresee that
assault. And as always, Kakashi never failed to meet people�s expectations.

A chuckle
came from the doorway. The pair turned to behold the Sandaime
Hokage making his way to their location.

�Hokage-sama,�
the two acknowledged their superior.

�What seems
to be the problem, Iruka-sensei?�

~*~

Of course,
they told the Hokage; and with much thought, he agreed to Kakashi�s request.
Iruka was floored to say the least. They were still children!

But they
were shinobis, too� As his lover
pointed out.

He smiled
faintly and went back to segregating the scrolls on his desk. That fact still
wouldn�t stop him from worrying, though. He sighed.

�Don�t
worry too much, Iruka. I�m sure they�ll come home safe. I have faith in their
abilities.�

Iruka
turned to his right and regarded the wizened old man. �Hai, Hokage-sama.�

I just hope everything will be okay� I have
this weird feeling�

Iruka went
back to his work without another word.

~*~

The Third
took his hat off and placed it on a table. He sighed, as many have been doing
so lately. He suddenly looked haggard; as though his age was finally catching
up to him.

The
afternoon sun filtered through his window, and he felt compelled to look out to
the village he had sworn to protect. It was peaceful, their village was. Well,
as peaceful as a shinobi village could get, that is.

It had been
what, twelve years? Yes. Twelve years since the last catastrophe it suffered.

His gaze
landed on the famed mountain ranges and focused on his late successor. His lips
lifted, caught between an amused smile and a sad one.

�You
would�ve been proud of him.�

~*~

�NO, NO, NO! No, thank you! I want a more
incredible mission! Find us a better one!� the Number One Loudmouth of Konoha was pissed
at the prospect of having a baby-sitting mission.

�You idiot!
You�re just a rookie! Everyone has to work their way up!� Iruka yelled back. In
a slightly calmer voice, he continued, �And besides, you�re in no position to
demand such a thing.�

Sarutobi
tried to keep a straight face while explaining the ranks and distributions of
duties in the ways of the shinobi. It was always amusing to watch how Naruto
reacted to everything.

They�re so much alike�

He finally
finished his speech with, �You just recently became genin. D-rank missions are
perfect for you.�

�Hmm� Last
night I had pork ramen� I think miso would be good for�� Naruto mumbled to
himself.

�Hey,
listen!� Iruka reprimanded him.

Sandaime
smiled to himself. It was obvious that Iruka cared so much about the boy.

�I
apologize�� Kakashi was playing into his role quite nicely.

�Sheesh! All you do is give those lectures! But you
know what? I�m not the same trouble-making brat you still think I am!�

With that,
Naruto turned his back on the Hokage and his Academy sensei, only to face
Kakashi and glare at him.

Sarutobi
caught Iruka�s eyes. It�s time.

After
hearing what Naruto had to say, he was sure that the overprotective sensei had
finally agreed with his decision.

~*~

Sarutobi�s
smile never wavered. He repeated his words.

�You
would�ve been proud of him��

~*~

Sasuke was
relieved that they were allowed to have that mission; even if it was for that
senile old man who dared to call his
Naruto super stupid.

I�m the only one allowed to call him names like
that!

Sasuke
didn�t bother to analyze whatever it was he was on about.

~*~

�Okay, if
you want it that much. I�m giving you a C-rank mission� That is, to protect a
certain individual,� the Hokage said.

The blond�s
face lifted into an excited grin.

�YEAH!
Who? A feudal lord? A princess?�

�Calm down,
I�m about to introduce him. Hey, could you come in?�

An old man
armed with a bottle of sake entered the room.

�What�s
this? They�re just a bunch of super brats, especially the shortest one with the
super stupid-looking face. Are you sure you�re a ninja?�

Naruto
looked puzzled for a moment. He snapped when he realized the old geezer was
talking about him.

�I�LL KILL YOU!!!!�

Kakashi
held on to his student�s shoulders. �What�s the point of killing the person
we�re supposed to protect? Idiot!�

~*~

Oh, that�s
right. Kakashi also crossed the line. He called Naruto an idiot. Sasuke tensed
as he remembered that particular scene.

I�ll show him how to place his grubby paws away
from my Naruto!

The genius
genin snapped out of it. What the hell am
I thinking?

He forced
himself to pay attention. Naruto was, again, screaming bloody murder at their
client for refusing to acknowledge him.

�I said stop,
moron,� their sensei reprimanded him, making sure he couldn�t get to Tazuna.

Sasuke�s
eyebrow twitched. He did it again�
Kakashi-sensei� He growled under his breath.

Sakura
noticed this. �Sasuke-kun, daijoubu?�

�Hn.�

Sakura
looked hurt before flashing a smile. �Okay, then. Let�s go!�

The group
moved on along the path, Kakashi at the end of the procession.

Naruto
lagged a bit to match the older man�s pace.

�Oi,
Kakashi-sensei�� Naruto whispered, discreetly calling the other�s attention.

�Hm?�

�Thanks for
today!� He quickly hugged the jounin before skipping nearer to his teammates.

Just as
fate would have it, Sasuke decided to look back at that precise moment. He
almost stopped in shock. Sasuke didn�t even break his stride, but Kakashi saw
everything clearly.

Ah, the beginnings of possessiveness.

He grinned
under his mask.

~*~

A/N: Heeheehee! Another chapter done! I hope you liked this one�
Whew! I really had a lot of things to do in school� Papers, reports, and all
that shit� Ah, well. Kakashi�s sooooooo
cool, ne? (He�s my husband, but I happily share him with Iruka. We all
get along. XD) He knew it all the while! Sasuke can�t get away with following
them all over the place without him knowing�

In any
case, I hope you had fun in reading this chapter. If you did, you�d be ecstatic
to read the next one! I�m not spoiling you, though. Heehee!
I�m bursting to tell you all about it! The title is mmmmppphhh�.
Sasuke places a strip of duct tape over
chibi�s mouth. (Sasuke: Don�t tell them.) MMMMMPPPPPHHHHH!!!!!
