[Fanfic] Kakashi/Iruka - R - "Dark Humor (6/?)"

[ranty-rie.livejournal.com]

Story Title: Dark Humor.
Chapter Title: Good Dog, Bad Dog.
Rating: R, NC-17 later.
Genre: It goes from Angst to Humor back and forth before settling on Drama.
Pairing: Hatake Kakashi/Umino Iruka, mentions of past Morino Ibiki/Umino Iruka.
Summary: When Kakashi chooses Iruka as his 'prize', Iruka angsts and is confused, annoyed and exasperated in great amounts. Ibiki is not amused. Obito just wants something spicy and for Rin's canary to finally kick the bucket.
Word Count: +/- 3 680.
Author Notes: This chapter ended up being a bit shorter than I first anticipated, but I like it. Maybe I'm finally learning to respect word economy. Another step further into this tangled mess I lovingly call plot, and one of the final 'staging' chapters, it introduces the last two players in the game. I really liked the flow of this one, it was quite therapeutic, considering the day I had. Comments and nitpicks entirely welcome.

( Umino Iruka, Kakashi decided, was completely mad.And he didn’t even have the excuse of a Sharingan ghost in his subconscious to try and justify it. )
