That was probably the best KakaIru I've read in... uhhh... several years, actually. You're very good at creating a captivating atmosphere while still keeping it all nicely aloof somehow, and personally, I like that a a lot. Iruka, well, perhaps he was slightly less masculine here than he is in the manga, and Kakashi was perhaps a bit more aggressive than I've imagined him to be, but otherwise, I have no particular complaints about their characters.

All and all, excellent work, and I'll be sure to read the rest of your stories later as well. Thank you for sharing this with us!
