It's over cries well till I get the Christmas projects and Kristal's(from y-gallery) piece done. And then comes the angst! Bwahaha!

OH and Kristal did a pretty piece of artwork for it which is viewable on y-gallery and deviant as the preview art.

Mission Iruka Chapter 21: Icha Icha Academy

Tsunade took a deep breath and looked up at two of her most trusted shinobi. She tapped her pen on her desk and shook her head.

"I expected more from you two!"

"We're very sorry Godaime-sama." They said in unison. She could tell one was sincere. The other, however, she doubted was even slightly apologetic.

She pinched the bridge of her nose.

"Do either of you realize how many parents I've had in my office today?" One of the nins had the decency to blush and look embarrassed, the other she was pretty sure was smirking under his mask.

"Making out behind the academy is unacceptable!" She glared at the smirking shinobi who now also had his book out and was seemingly ignoring her.

"Kakashi! Put that book down right now!"

He glanced up at her.

"I'm sorry Godaime-sama, but it really is your own fault." Now she knew he was smirking.

"After all you're the one who assigned me the mission. You're the one who had people betting on us. And you're..." The other shinobi elbowed him cutting his words short.

"It won't happen again, Godaime-sama," Then he glared at his lover who had his nose in his book again. "Right, Kakashi?"

The silver haired man sighed and then grinned, "Right Ru-ru-chan." The nickname earned him another elbow.

Tsunade dismissed them with a wave of her hand.

"He's right you know. It's your fault," Shizune said after the two men had left.
"You've created not one but two monsters." She shook her head but smiled.

"Very cute and entertaining ones," Tsunade chuckled. "Even if they are... what is it that Nara boy is always saying?"

"Troublesome," Shizune supplied.

"Ah yes, troublesome. Please let Hiashi-san know that the matter has been taken care of." She picked up a file.

"Oh and let Hiashi know that Hanabi-chan may stay home until she can stop blushing."

"Didn't we just get into trouble for this 'Kashi?" Iruka chuckled as his lover pulled him in for another kiss.

Kakashi slid a hand up Iruka's side and kissed his neck teasingly. "No, that was for making out behind the academy. This isn't the academy."

"Mmm... point taken," he murmured, leaning back against the wall, his eyes sliding shut.

The rather loud thud was what alerted the two lovers to the others' presence. Iruka's eyes shot open and he found Neji glaring at him as he picked his uncle up off the floor. "I'm glad I'm just his nephew, it looks like that's genetic," he muttered.

"Um 'Kashi..."

"Ignore them and they'll go away," he said as the door to the Hokage's office opened and Shizune stepped out.

She looked from Neji and Hiashi to Iruka and Kakashi and sighed. "Lady Tsunade, they're at it again!" she called over her shoulder shaking her head. "And this time in front of your office and Hiashi-san!"

"YOU TWO GET BACK IN HERE RIGHT NOW!"
