From Create Your Own Story
It had been about a week since you had told Iruka how you feel about him...you have been stopping by Tsunade's office to chat about upcoming events that you know about just to fill in the gaps of spare time you have now that Iruka is avoiding you.
You are currently moping in your apartment, though you've managed to convince yourself that you're practicing mediation and are not in fact moping.
You sigh and finally give in to your frustration...punching a pillow in a futile attempt to vent it.
Just then, you hear a polite knock on your door (yes, a polite knock). You slump to the door, not in the mood for what you think you'll be facing...that is until you open the door to reveal...Konohamaru!
"Eh...hey there?" You greet him wondering what the hell it is he's doing here.
"Ah, Kimiko-san! Iruka-sensei asked me to tell you to come to meet him at the academy this afternoon!" He tells you cheerfully.
"Oh, okay...thank you for letting me know."
"No problem!" He smiles and runs off.
You shut the door and your heart starts to pound...Iruka wants to see you...has he made up his mind?
You spend the next few hours running around your apartment frantically. Partially because you're nervous and also because you are rushing to make yourself presentable.
Finally, you make your way to the academy in the afternoon, your heart in your throat all the way.
You know where to go and pause nervously in front of Iruka's classroom...
'I am going to be mature about this.' You think to yourself. 'I am going to be calm and collected. I am going to walk in there and hear what he has to say...no matter what he decides...I am going to deal with it...like a responsible grown up person...'
After your inner pep talk, you slide the door open and walk in.
Iruka looks up from his desk and clears his throat nervously as he rises to stand.
"You asked to see me, Iruka?" You say and mentally congratulate yourself for not stuttering and keeping the tone of your voice even.
"Yes...Kimiko...I thought long and hard...about...well...'us'...and..." Iruka starts.
'Moment of truth...whatever you do...don't cry if he rejects you...do not cry...'
"Kimiko...I would like...for us to remain friends."
Your heart sinks to the floor and lower.
"Oh." You say, afraid that if you say anymore you're going to fall apart.
"At...At least until you turn 18 maybe...I might feel better about us 'dating'?" Iruka continues nervously.
"Come again?" You aren't quite sure you heard him right.
"I can't deny that I am attracted to you, Kimiko...it's just that at your current age, I wouldn't feel comfortable...dating...you as such...it would feel like I was taking advantage of you so maybe...in two years time...if...you and I are still interested...we could be more...than friends."
"So...you're asking me to wait two years?" You say quietly, not breaking eye contact.
"Yes?" Iruka says it like it's a question.
You practically tackle him in a fierce hug...so much for being mature about it.
"I'd wait 10 years to go out with you!" You almost yell.
"O-Okay." Iruka chuckles nervously.
From that point onwards, you resume spending time with him as well as your regular duties to the hokage.
As time goes by, your knowledge on future events eventually runs dry and you tell Tsunade as much, but never to despair. You had after all performed a great service to the village and you are given permission to stay.
With some serious training and help from Iruka and the various friends you had made amongst the ninja...you are finally able to call yourself a bonafide kunoichi. And by the time those two years roll by, you have attained the rank of Chuunin as well as permission to teach at the academy.
Your friendship with Iruka remains strong and far from diminished your attraction to one another has intensified as you grow more and more into a woman.
One day, you had just gotten through a particularly nerve-crushing lesson (it seemed like all the annoying ones had found their way into your class...oh, but you are a patient teacher and you love your students) and are wandering over to Iruka's classroom knowing that he is free himself.
"Hey, Iruka..." You smile.
"Ah, Kimiko. How was your class just then...I think I heard some yelling." He smiles back.
You groan, "Honestly...all the annoying ones find their way into my classroom."
Iruka chuckles, "That bad, huh?"
You smile, "Don't get me wrong...I love those kids...even the irritating little knuckleheads...they can be a pain but at least they keep things interesting."
"That's the spirit." Iruka laughs.
"Actually...there is something more I wanted to talk to you about..." You say and sit on his desk.
"Yeah?"
"It's my birthday tomorrow..." You say suggestively.
"I know." Iruka smiles nervously.
"You remember the agreement, right? You said that if we waited two years and the both of us were still interested...we could start dating...so...are you still interested?" You ask, sidling closer to him (remember you're on the desk and he's still sitting in his chair).
Iruka blushes, "I-I-"
"A simple yes or no will do, Iruka." You say as you lean ever closer towards him.
Instead of answering, Iruka closes the distance between you, catching your lips with his.
You smile into the kiss. 'Guess that's a yes'
Now, you might have gotten a little bit carried away because ten minutes later, you break it off to several startled gasps.
You are on the desk, flat on your back with Iruka on top of you...while all your clothes are still on and you are no longer kissing...the position the two of you are in is highly suggestive and it doesn't help that Iruka has his hands up somewhere they're not supposed to be.
"Oh...c-class..." Iruka stutters at a loss for words.
'F*ck! When the hell did class start again?!' You think as you finally kick into gear and get Iruka's hands and him off of you before straightening your clothes and hair, blushing the darkest shade of red humanly possible.
You clear your throat as you face Iruka's students, "I suggest you go take your seats so I can pass and go to my own classroom." You say as you squeeze past them casually.
You almost make into your classroom when you hear, "Iruka-sensei has a girlfriend!" Followed by peals of laughter and Iruka's frantic explanations.
You smile.
You continue teaching at the academy whilst dating your co-worker and are happy to find that nobody objects to your relationship...that is until the two of you get a little too frisky (you may interpret that in whatever way you like) in an empty classroom and someone walks in on you...luckily for you it wasn't a student or you would have been fired for sure...it was another co-worker...but you did get into enough trouble for Tsunade to give both you and Iruka a harsh scolding...and a severe pay-cut for a few months...
One night, you sit Iruka down and tell him the truth about where you had come from...admittedly he does not believe you at first...until you get both Naruto and Tsunade to back up your claims.
It takes him three days to come to terms with it, but after that he just shrugs it off.
A little over a year has passed.
"Hey, Iruka." You say during your lunchbreak one day.
"Yes, Kimiko-chan?"
"What do you think about us moving in together?" You smile.
"Us? Living together?"
"Why not?" You shrug. "I love you, you love me, what's the problem?"
"No it's just..." Iruka starts.
"What are you saying you don't love me?!" You accuse him.
"No, I DO love you...it's just...I'm not sure my place is going to be big enough..." He sighs.
You kiss him sweetly on the lips. "Then we'll just have to find a bigger place, won't we?"
"You're right." He chuckles.
"Make sure it's got at least two bedrooms." You smile.
"Why two?" Iruka asks.
"Well, the baby can't stay in our room forever and it would be a pain to have to move again." You respond.
Iruka stares at you, "You don't mean..."
"Get used to being called daddy..." You kiss him again before turning around walking off. "I've got a class to teach, see you later."
You are very pleased with yourself, though a little irritated by the fact that it takes Iruka a full half hour to fully grasp the situation...thus resulting in him bursting right into your classroom in the middle of class and dragging you out.
"Iruka, what is it?" You snap but soften your expression when you note the dorky grin on his face.
"It's really...we're really going to...there's going to be...a baby?" He babbles.
You nod and giggle, "Yeah..."
"Wow." He starts stroking your flat belly.
You smile...things had turned out pretty well...
Elsewhere
In a hospital room.
An older woman sits by a young woman's side.
Two nurses watch her.
"It's so sad..." One of them says. "Her daughter has been in a coma for more than three years now...
The woman turns to look at them, "I...don't feel as bad about it as some of you might think..."
The nurses hastily apologize.
"She's been smiling a lot lately." The woman continues smiling tenderly at the young woman in the bed. "So...at the very least...I am glad that wherever she is...she's found happiness..."
Ending: 3
(A/N Well, that was interesting...I like Iruka (as a character) so this was kind of fun to write...and I mean, I do get the feeling that he's the type to suggest and do just what I wrote...which is wait for two years until the girl he likes is 'legal'. Now, I wasn't initally planning on the whole...'pregnancy' deal...but be glad I didn't go with some kinda mushy proposal...those seem to irritate the hell out of me... I was initially going to build in a lot more choices...i.e. dating experience...etc. but seriously, that would have stretched the parts to beyond a thousand seeing as I would have to do it for every character. Thank you for reading.)
