"Hey, Kakashi!" Miraki called. The silver-haired ninja turned toward the unfamiliar voice- and almost fell over.

What was in front of him bore the hitai-ate of a ninja, but… was definitely not human. A silky, fluffy reddish tail tipped with black peeked from underneath a beat-up black jacket that was far too big for her. Black baggy pants swished about her ankles, and her sneakers were heavily adorned with duct tape. Long, pointy ears amidst orangish-burgundy hair were adorned with gold cuffs.

Now the question was… How did it know his name…?

Kakashi leaned against a tree nonchalantly, the image of an unperturbed ninja. His heart beating a mile a minute, hand on a hidden kunai.

"Who are you?" he asked.

"Oop, sorry, my bad!" she said cheerfully. "I'm Miraki!"

She unzipped the jacket to show off a Konoha leaf hitai-ate around her neck. Okay, that was weird. What the hell was an obvious demon doing with a Konoha hitai-ate? However, the unzipped jacket also revealed something much stranger.

The shirt she was wearing appeared to feature a head shot of Sasuke. What the hell?

"What are you doing here?" Kakashi asked.

"Me?" she asked. "I'm just hanging out."

"Okay." He said amiably, pulling out 'come come paradise' and proceeding to skim it while keeping a close eye on Miraki.

She fidgeted about a bit, brushing invisible dirt off her shirt, visible dirt off her jeans, and pulling the zipper on her jacket up and down.

"You know something funny?" she finally said.

"Hmm?"

"The other day, my neighbor dared me to wear my headband like you do, you know…"

Who was her neighbor? Who was SHE? How did she know so much about him, live in Konoha, and be a demon and he didn't know her? This was frustrating.

"And so, I managed, but then, I ran into a wall!" she continued.

Kakashi facefaulted.

"Yeah, I know!" she chirped. "It was really funny, but it hurt! How do you do it?"

"Ummn," he said, brushing leaves off his clothes and retrieving 'come come paradise.' "I get lots of practice?"

"So it doesn't mess with your depth perception?" she pursued.

"Umn… my 'depth perception' has, umn, adjusted, I guess."

"Oh, so that's why you had one eye closed when you were using the Sharingan! Bet you can't see with both eyes open."

"What! How do you know about the Sharingan!"

"Oop, gotta go." She said guiltily, and disappeared.

Kakashi fumed for a few seconds. As he got over it, however, a new curiosity dawned on him. "Bet you can't see with both eyes open," she had said.

Could he see with both eyes open?

Pfft. Of course he could. He'd show her.

Checking that no one was near, Kakashi pulled the hitai-ate up and opened both eyes.

Dizziness hit him after two steps, and things came closer and farther away as he moved towards them. Wow, that was weird—

THUNK!

The three young ninja returned from their mission just in time to see Kakashi, the Mirror Ninja, crash into a tree.

Sao: Hi all! Random snippet here, thought it was funny. In case you're wondering where the hell Miraki came from, she's my friend's self-representation character. (much like I am, actually...heh)

Miraki: waves

Sao: I just thought you all might want to meet her.

Miraki: I'm Miraki! I'm a kitsune, my boyfriend is Sora, (whose katana keyblade I frequently steal) and my favorite color is red!

Sao: You should check out her stories! Her author name is EverlastingLight!
