Title: Heal

Pairing: IrukaxYuugao post HayaYuugao

Summary: The best medicine from a broken heart is a warm one.

Disclaimer: I don’t own Naruto and I’m not making any money off of this.

Dedicated to: Jyukai-Koudan as thanks for the deviant art points. Request was IrukaxYuugao post HayaYuugao with the theme ‘Home’ and I decided to add in a theme from my 100 themes list because it fit.

Yuugao brushed her hair back, freeing several droplets from it, and settled on the couch.

“Feel better?” Iruka asked, setting a cup of hot tea down on the coffee table.

She nodded. The shower had been exactly what she’d needed. The hot water always seemed to soothe more than just her aching muscles.

Taking the brush from her hand, Iruka started brushing her hair. “What was it this time?” It was a serious question, but his tone was still warm.

It reminded her of the shower. “We were in Rain and...” Her voice broke slightly and she swallowed. “I could smell them. Before I ever caught sight of them I could smell them.” Just the memory of it made her heart ache.

Iruka set the brush down and sat down beside her. “Orchids.” It wasn’t a question, because it didn’t need to be.

Yuugao nodded and slid her arms around Iruka’s waist, all but collapsing over his lap. “They were purple too.” Fingers combed through her hair, brushing it back out of her face and behind her ears.

It was hard being ANBU. It was harder still to remain so after losing Hayate. Sometimes it was visiting a place they’d been and the memory of him being there with her that tightened the vice around her heart. Other times it was something she ate that he loved or something she saw that she knew would have made him happy.

If he’d just been her teammate perhaps a year might have dulled the ache. He’d been more than that though, he’d been her anchor because, despite his illness, he’d always smiled. Even in the darkest moment she could rely on that. When she thought they wouldn’t make it out he’d give her that soft, sweet, patient smile and assure her that they would. One of the reasons she loved Iruka was because he smiled just like Hayate. She was never quite sure if she loved him for himself or for the shadow of Hayate that she saw in that gentle, understanding smile and it bothered her sometimes.

She might have found peace if she'd been allowed to seek revenge, but the alliance would never have allowed it. Despite that, she had tried once, careless of the fact that it would be signing her own death sentence.

Iruka had been on that mission. It had been a simple, diplomatic one to exchange information on how they ran the academy. She’d been sent to shadow him and guard his back.

Yuugao had wondered then why she’d been assigned as his bodyguard given her personal vendetta. Sandaime himself had given her the position and it had seemed like he was telling her it was her chance. Maybe he had been and maybe that was why Iruka was the instructor he’d chosen. The old man always seemed to know things, always seemed to be holding something back. She was almost certain now that Iruka had been his trump card and he’d been deliberate in choosing him. It was like some elaborate game of shogi that he was playing against her, letting her trap herself. Likely, it was exactly how it seemed.

Iruka hadn’t stopped her, hell he’d offered to help her, but the way he’d looked at her... The sadness in his eyes, the pity, the worry she’d seen there for her... it had reminded her so much of Hayate that she couldn’t do it. Yuugao couldn’t kill somebody knowing that Hayate would be disappointed in her. Hayate was too sweet, too forgiving, and Iruka was no different. She had known that if Iruka was disappointed in her then he would be too. It was that thought alone that stayed her hand.

After they’d come home, he’d invited her over for tea and he’d held her while she cried the tears she’d held inside from the moment she’d been told Hayate was dead.

Days like today, when she came home from a mission, Yuugao visited him. She cleaned herself up and then curled up in his arms, just so she could feel safe and warm again. She came home to him because she couldn’t come home to Hayate. Maybe it was only because of all the ways he reminded her Hayate, but she loved him.
