Undercover Mashup

Hello there, here is a new update. Hope you enjoy it ^^

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ibiki watches how Hatake-sama stands in the Mission Room and eyes him. He steals glances, obvious glances, like he tries to invite Ibiki to move towards him. To talk to him. But that can’t be. No. The way they parted last night, that was not a good way. It just can’t be that Hatake-sama wants him to move over. 

Hatake-sama seems to ponder. He nods to himself and moves away from his corner. Straight over to Umino-sensei’s desk. His porn is in front of his face. He is going to pester the Chuunin. 

Ibiki rolls his eyes and decides that he has to help the Chuunin out. And, if it was a cryptic way for Hatake-sama to make Ibiki move over to him, he will find out the moment they stand next to each other. 

“Is there something I can help you with, Hatake-sama?” Umino-sensei asks. He wears a big smile of his own and his hair is up in a pony tail. 

“I think there are several things you can help me with, sensei.” He closes his eye. “I would like for you to give me some pointers, for a teaching method.” 

Umino-sensei stares at Hatake-sama. There is a blush on his cheeks, growing bigger the more Hatake-sama stares. Ibiki notices it all.

“Some pointers?” Umino-sensei asks. He looks away and coughs. “You mean, about the thing, yesterday. About teaching Morino-sama?” he asks. He gazes up from his low point of view. 

Ibiki has to admit, that looks kind of hot. 

“He is kidding.” Ibiki appears next to Kakashi, with his arms folded and a annoyed look on his face. “He is just trying to rile you up. Don’t mind him. He has too much energy.” He straightens his back and raises one eyebrow. “Don’t you, Hatake-sama?” 

Hatake-sama chuckles. “I do.” He turns to Ibiki and stands on his tiptoes. “You didn’t tire me out,” he says with a shrug. 

“So, I was unable to tire you out?” Ibiki asks. There is more behind Hatake-sama’s words. He feels it. “Form the looks of it, you did give it all so I assumed you were tired.” His eyes lock with Hatake-sama’s eye and he chuckles. 

Hatake-sama swallows. “Well, I wasn’t,” he says. “And there was one thing that we didn’t do.” He turns his head away from Ibiki and looks at Umino-sensei instead. “One thing he still needs to learn. I don’t know if he wants to learn though.” 

Umino-sensei is wearing a full body blush, it seems. It has spread over his cheeks down to his neck. “I have no idea what you are talking about,” he says. He bites his lip and tries to look behind Hatake-sama. “But you are holding up the line.” 

Ibiki had already noticed that. But this is a game they are playing. And he doesn’t want to loose to Hatake-sama. 

“Don’t mind us, Umino-sensei. We can wait,” one of the Shinobi in line says. 

“Are you sure you want to teach me that?” Ibiki asks. He knows he is unable to keep his voice completely steady. And the fact that he stares at his feet doesn’t work either. But he can’t help it. He has never done it before. “I don’t think I am able to do it right.” And if he is not able to do it right, then how can he ever do it with Hatake-sama? Fucking that man should be an honor. 

“Hatake!” 

Ibiki looks up and follows Hatake-sama’s gaze to the door. The Hokage stands there. She wears a serious expression on her usually relaxed face. Something is wrong. 

“We’ll discuss this when I get back,” Hatake-sama tells Ibiki. He nods to him, then to Umino-sensei and moves over to the Hokage.

“Well…” Umino-sensei brings his hands together and looks at Ibiki.

Ibiki nods at him and turns himself halfway. “I apologize for holding the line, sensei,” he says with a slight bow. “I’ll be taking my leave.” He takes a step to the side as one Shinobi yells: “We don’t mind, as long as it’s you three!” 

Ibiki turns around, trying to find the Shinobi. But he doesn’t succeed and turns to face the teacher again. The teachers face is bright red again. 

“Are you alright?” Ibiki asks him. He turns to him fully and places a hand on his face. “Do you have a fever? Your face is quite red.” 

Umino-sensei nods, shakes his head and moves back. “I’m fine, really. Don’t mind me.” He waves his hands up. 

Ibiki frowns, nods and turns around. For real this time. He moves towards the door, where Hatake-sama and the Hokage disappeared through. 

He should not think about what just happened. If only his debt was paid. If only there was no debt and he and Hatake-sama could start fresh.

“I have to leave for a mission,” Hatake-sama says. They stand in the hall next to the mission office, but he refuses to lift his gaze to meet Ibiki’s eyes. “Can you look after my place?” he asks. His rubs the back of his head and sighs. 

“Yes,” Ibiki says with a nods. “That was one of my suggestions, as a thank you for teaching me.” It was. It’s not a big deal.

Hatake-sama closes his eyes. “Well, after this mission is over, that…” He takes a deep breath. “After this mission is over, you don’t owe me anything. There is nothing between us, according to that.” He looks up, into Ibiki’s eyes. “You don’t have to repay me for anything anymore.” 

Ibiki stares back, with an unreadable expression. “Alright. There is nothing between us.” He nods. Inwardly, there is a turmoil in his stomach. It twists and turns and makes him feel things he never knew he was able to feel.

“Good.” Hatake-sama swallows. He seems unsure, for some reason. “Thank you for taking care of my place,” he says and he nods. “See you after I’m back.”
