Summary
Kakashi has captained hundreds of missions over the past decade. One random chuunin beneath his command getting injured shouldn’t prompt more passing concern than any of the other casualties he’s witnessed.
And yet, something keeps him in his orbit.

Summary
When the Rokudaime finds himself without an assistant, Iruka begrudgingly steps up to the plate as a replacement. He convinces himself of two things: that the position is only temporary, and that his long-harbored feelings surely won’t get in the way of serving his new hokage.
…Exactly how long he can keep up that charade is another matter entirely.

Summary
Kakashi always figured he’d be unlikely to reach 30. Bleeding out in the remote mountains of Fire country, he can’t help but find a little amusement in dying just a week short of the mark.
And then he awakens, still quite alive, in the home of a man who claims to be a local civilian.
...Iruka might have a little too much sympathy for wounded strays.

Summary
“Iruka, how would you feel about taking on a solo mission for me?” Sandaime asked.
Thrown by the change of topic, Iruka blinked at him.
“What do you want me to do?” he asked.
“Befriend Hound.”

Summary
Shortly after Mizuki escapes from prison, Iruka vanishes from his apartment, and Kakashi is assigned to lead a search team that brings the missing sensei home. After returning to Konoha, Iruka is placed under a protective watch while he recovers— one that Kakashi has no business volunteering for, hardly knowing the sensei, and being far above the skill level necessary to guard someone from a single escaped convict.
Then again, Kakashi’s never been particularly predictable.
