The morning at the academy had been hectic for Iruka-sensei - the kids were all full of the excitement of the festival and it was almost impossible to get them to settle down at all. Iruka felt mildly guilty for assigning four detentions in one hour but justified them with the fact that if some punishment hadn't been handed out then his sanity

The smell of food drifted to his senses and he suddenly felt his stomach rumbling. He looked up from his book and found the scent was coming from the Ramen bar and he decided that it couldn't hurt to step in for a bite to eat.
He slipped his book back into his pouch and push aside the strips of cloth, poking his head into the area before sitting down. He turned his head to the side to find Iruka-sensei, one of the academy teachers sitting across from him. He tried a polite approach, he didn't feel like anymore drama right now.
"Yo~!"

Looking over his shoulder to see that his assumption had been correct, Iruka smiled at the older man. "Hello, Kakashi-sensei," he greeted. "Here for lunch?" he added, somewhat redundantly. It wasn't like he was likely to be there for any other reason, he berated himself silently. What a stupid thing to say... well, there was no helping it now.

"Yeah, just was on my way home from helping an elderly lady with her shopping"
He would never know why he lied so much. Although it was amusing to see peoples reactions. He placed the menu down and looked up at the man with his hat on and his assistant who peered at him with interest. He knew why he didn't come here often - they always looked at him strangely.
"Pork Ramen please." He said quickly.

That made sense. Glad to have resolved the issue, Iruka looked back at his menu. He sighed a little as Kakashi ordered so quickly, still dithering before finally settling on, "Miso pork Ramen, please," addressing the old man who nodded. It was Naruto's favourite and it always smelt so good.

"You're probably right," Iruka replied with a half-smile. The ANBU would be there, it was all fine. What was the worst that could happen, really? Just so long as it didn't rain then there was absolutely nothing to worry about. The place would be heaving with ninja.
Speaking of which... "Changing the subject," Iruka started with a slightly predatory gleam in his eye and a voice full of reproach. "You're late handing in your last mission report, Kakashi-san." Having got the man cornered, Iruka was going to make the most out of this lunch-hour.

"Uh.."
Yeah, he was psyching himself up to run if it need be. Or maybe He would just lecture him. That seemed more likely. Uh, uh... Yes! He was going to play dumb!!
"... What mission?"

"The mission, Kakashi-san, that you came back from nearly three weeks ago. I'm sure you remember. Tsunade-sama is still waiting for the report." He'd already assigned four detentions today, he was sure he could fit another one in... it didn't matter if Kakashi was a student or not... "Do you have a reason for this?"

"I was out doing community service outside of the villange and, uh, somehow got pulled into a secret mars penal colony where i gained the trust of the others and threw off the shackles of oppression... When i got home, i couldn't for the life of me find where i had put it. But i remembered that i had left it behind while on my trip"
Ohshit.

It wasn't his fault that he liked sewing. It was a useful thing to be able to do, though he was teaching himself to do embroidry at the moment and that wasn't really a practical skill. But the point was that, if he was on a mission and ripped his trousers, he would be able to mend them without hesitation. Not many ninja could claim to be able to do that.
"At any rate, I don't think many people would be that surprised," he pointed out.

"True, but at this rate, i'll know your whole life before you know it. Then, i'll have some stories worth telling." Really, it was the little things that made life great.

Not that Iruka would subject Kakashi's twisted sense of humour on anyone. Surely no one could have been that evil in their pastlife to deserve such torment...

"And even the quiet have their secrets" Kakashi grinned almost evilly. Not that you could really tell all that well. But he was interested in what secrets Iruka had hidden away in his memory. It occured to him then that he should have joined the intellegence and torture force rather than being a regular Anbu.
