~Iruka~ It has been a long week, but at last Friday morning has come. Ever since you have started helping Iruka teach at the Academy five days a week instead of three, you have realized exactly how much work his job can be. Nonetheless, it still manages to be rewarding. In the end, you’re very glad that Lady Tsunade decided to start letting you teach for the full school week. Not only do you enjoy being around the students and getting to teach them more, but it also means that you’ve been getting to spend more time around Iruka. Seven months have already passed during the year you’re supposed to be spending with Iruka, lea

~Gai~ “Where have you been lately, _____? You haven’t been calling as much, and you hardly ever come over for dinner anymore. We’ve been missing you these past couple months.” It’s late in the afternoon, probably around three-thirty pm. It is Thursday, so you would normally be at work right now. The only reason you’re at your apartment and not waiting on customers at the hardware store is because your boss decided to give you the rest of the day off. As much as your boss surprised you, you also couldn’t help but be thankful. It isn’t very often that you get to go home early. During your walk h

~Gai~ The bright morning sunlight pours in through your kitchen window, glistening off of pools of water in various places on the tile. Ringing out your mop, you spread the water around while kicking a wooden chair out of the way with your foot. The whole time you listen to your mother jabber into your ear over the phone; the phone being held to your ear by use of your shoulder. “You really mean it? You’re coming over to eat dinner with the rest of the family tonight? I can’t stand to think of you cooped up in that little apartment all by yourself.” Despite the fact that she can’t see it, you give a smile. &#

~Gai~ “Gai Sensei, do you really have to make us do this? We just got back yesterday. I wanted to relax before Lady Tsunade sends away on another mission!” Tenten’s complaints echo through the ears of Neji, Lee, and Gai as the four of them walk down the dirt path on the way to the training grounds. For the first time since Neji ranked Jonin and his other two students ranked Chunin, Lady Tsunade decided to send Team Gai on a mission together. It wasn’t anything big. All they had to do was escort a noble family from the Leaf Village to a small town near the Land of Fire’s boarder. Altogether it was supposed to ta

~Gai~ The Leaf Village is still sleeping, the birds are just now starting to sing, and the sun has barely started touching the horizon. Yet, instead of sleeping like any normal person would at this hour, the man in green is going on his morning run through the forest. Everyone (including two out of three of his students) thinks that he is completely insane for waking up to train this early, but Gai really doesn’t care much about their opinions. If anything, they should be more open-minded to training when it's inconvenient. Wearing his normal cheerful expression despite the early morning, the energetic ninja jogs down the dirt path th

~Gai~ It’s not too often that you get a day off. Normally you’re so busy with chores, work, and other tasks that you don’t get much downtime. Even when you do have a free day it is usually spent at your house reading a book or watching TV. Today, however, you decided to make a change to your dreary schedule. Instead of spending the day watching (___favorite TV show___) or reading (____favorite book____) you are instead taking a pleasant stroll through the streets of Konoha. You’re not really going anywhere and you don’t really have anything planned. You’re just walking randomly, enjoying the sights and sou

~Iruka~ Thursday is your favorite day of the week. Sure you like the other days of the week, too; Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays you get to help out at the Academy and Saturdays you get to sleep in. Thursdays, however, have a different appeal entirely. Why? Because this is the day you get to see children use their imaginations in their purest essence. Shoving a (___h/c___) strand behind your ear, you walk around to each and every table to look at the children’s drawings. A few short months ago Konoha’s library didn’t have a children’s section at all. There weren’t any children’s books, there were no col

~Iruka~ The sound of children playing in the school yard echoes through your ears as you walk into the Academy building. Once you step inside the noise diminishes, becoming nothing more than a low buzzing in the background. Humming a random tune to yourself, you pull a stack of papers out of a large bag and flip through them to make sure each student’s test is accounted for. After staying up late grading them the night before it would be a shame to have forgotten one. So occupied are you with the task that you hardly notice as Iruka approaches from behind. When the man finally does come to your attention you can’t help but smile

~Iruka~ The afternoon sun shines brightly through the halls of the Hokage tower. Academy hours ended less than an hour ago and all of the students are either at home or playing with their friends. Technically you should be home by now too, as should Iruka, but there is more important business to attend to first. This business specifically has you bursting with joy. It takes all of your energy just to keep yourself contained. “You actually mean it, Iruka? You’re really having this request put in to Lady Tsunade?!” The man gives you a smile as you make your way down the corridor. “Of course. Having you at the Academy
