The tokubetsu jounin stared at him for a moment, disbelief flickering through his dark eyes. "No, he wouldn't..." The senbon clicked taut between Genma's teeth, a scowl sharpening his normally relaxed facial features. "That brat didn't tell you he volunteered for a solo mission, did he?"
It was like a bucket of ice water hit him square in the face. The cold spread through him until Iruka felt a sickening sorrow settle somewhere deep inside him. The genin sank back into his seat, his grip on Genma's hand loosening. "No, h-he didn't," he managed to push the words out. The too familiar burning of building tears made his eyes ache. He blinked quickly to push the sensation down. "We… had a fight. It was my fault."
"Shodai's balls, Iruka." Cursing quietly, Genma tugged his bandana hitai-ate off and scrubbed a hand through his hair. "That's not an excuse for his little disappearing act. Shinobi don't fucking do that to their family."
Iruka rubbed his stomach in a futile attempt to ease the twisting ache there. "...What if Kakashi doesn't come back?" The genin sniffled. A few tears slipped down his cheeks.
