Married to a WHAT?!

#56: Justice is Late but Never Absent

Thankful for the extra time given to accomplish what he needed to do before his love came to find him, Kakashi went to find Might Gai with an urgent request. The school that Gai taught at was rather renowned in Tokyo and Kakashi wished that he didn't have to turn up so suddenly without an appointment. However, Mizuki's whereabouts were getting harder and harder to keep track off. The man has gotten himself into some sticky situations with some bad company after destroying Iruka's life. Kakashi knew that Iruka would be sad and most likely blame himself if anything happened to that shitty bastard.

"My eternal rival!" Gai greeted with a sparkling grin. "What brings you here this youthful evening?"

Kakashi didn't look like he was in a conversational mood and the martial artist took the hint. They went to Gai's office after the trainer gave some instructions to the senior students. Kakashi followed behind, familiar with the building.

"Is it a job?" Gai asked once they were alone in the office. The earlier vibrant persona nowhere to be seen.

Kakashi nodded. He passed the martial artist a file that contained all of Mizuki's personal information.

"Take care of this person. I don't want him anywhere near my mate but don't hurt him. My dolphin is a very kind person and disposing of this trash will only hurt him more. Whatever he is doing, keep Iruka away from it. However, if the situation gets worse then try to keep damages to a minimum."

Gai smirked. "Is the almighty alpha finally having a change of heart? This is quite a mercy job you're entrusting me. I'm very curious to know who your mate is and what he is like. I heard from Lee that your kids have also taken a liking to him?"

Kakashi scowled. The werewolf alpha couldn't help but feel slightly jealous of the attention Iruka had been giving his pack. Not only did his dolphin cook and clean, but his dolphin was also giving out hugs to others that not even Kakashi had received before.

The two old friends didn't stay to talk for very long. Kakashi also had to hurry along if he wanted to catch Iruka and his pack at the hospital to now what the doctor said. He wasn't too worried about his mate's condition because Ino was a very good nurse to be. Under her watchful eye, the teacher was recovering quickly.

That night, Iruka had a dream. He dreamt that Kakashi returned and held him in his arms while he slept. The teacher didn't know why but it felt incredibly real as if the man really had stopped by and snuck in through his window to cuddle with him until he had to wake up.

The teacher touched the spot where dream Kakashi had been and it felt a little warm. The teacher didn't know what to think about it but brushed it off as his imagination. He really couldn't wait for the two weeks to pass quickly so that he can remove that cast on his elbow and start his search for Kakashi.

It was odd because Iruka knew what it felt like to have a crush for someone. The feelings he had for a certain albino was definitely on a whole new level. Iruka couldn't remember when the last time was that he yearned for Mizuki's company. Being apart from Kakashi only made the rainy days in his heart seem like it would never end. Without Kakashi, the sun in his life, Iruka didn't feel like doing much. All he could think of in moments like this when he wasn't preoccupied with things to do was the man whom he spent about a month with living together in his tiny apartment.

Ino didn't have school today because the only lecture she had was cancelled so the girl decided to keep the teacher company and go grocery shopping together. Iruka was excited because he hadn't gotten to see much of Tokyo. At the same time, the teacher was eager to find some kind of part-time job in the city. He couldn't possibly impose on Kakashi and his family for too long even if they were rich and being nice to him.
