Summary
Iruka buried his face into Kakashi’s shoulder and let out a long breath. There was no explanation needed for this, no need for words to describe or retell the horrors that the jounin had experienced.
There never was.When Kakashi comes home from a mission, silent and grieving, Iruka will be there for him. Always.

Summary
Naruto slowly dragged his notes off the desk and stuffed them into his bag. “I just can’t remember them all…”
“I have a challenge for you.” Iruka leaned forward and smiled. “If you can get your studies done by tomorrow afternoon, I’ll take you ice-fishing out on the bay on Sunday when I finish work. Kakashi might even come if he’s available.”
“Oh really? You’d do that?” Naruto punched the air. “I’ll study hard and get it done, Iruka-sensei!”
Iruka raised a hand in a soothing gesture.
“Just remember your goal. You can’t change the world if you don’t know what’s wrong with it in the first place. Your studies count, so make sure to pay attention. I can teach you in your classes and help when you run into trouble—but the rest, that’s on you.”
After a moment of hesitation, Naruto nodded.

Summary
“Naruto doubted himself. To be honest, it was the first time I’d ever seen him doubt his own abilities like that. Failure hit him hard. The kyuubi, that was what he feared—at least for a little while.” Kakashi gestured out at the pond and the small bursts of flame. “He carries a demon, and now he knows it, and realizes what it is to a far greater extent than before. I showed him these spirits, the yokai that live outside the worlds of good and evil—that not all demons have to be evil and bring harm to others. They can be free and powerful and good in their own ways, nothing like the myths and legends.”
[Iruka feels apprehensive about how Naruto will react to Iruka's relationship with Kakashi when the boy gets back from training with Jiraiya. Kakashi, sensing his partner's anxieties, takes Iruka to a garden of spirits and serenity—a place that his family can now also call home.]

Summary
“You’re a disgrace, Umino. A mistake, that’s what you are—choosing that piece of shit as a partner—”
Crash.
Mizuki was flung forward as Iruka roughly yanked the chair over, dumping the ex-jounin onto his face. Mizuki’s groans filled the air.
“Give me answers, damn it,” Iruka spat. “How did you get out of prison? Who sent you and WHY DID YOU ATTACK MY FAMILY?”
Kakashi bit his lip and stepped forward, hands held up in a pacifying motion. “Iruka—”
“You—shush.” Iruka pointed a finger at him without looking.
[i.e. Kakashi comes back to his apartment to find it a warzone. Iruka and Naruto had been prepping him a birthday dinner when Mizuki attacked. Iruka is NOT amused.]
