Kakashi sat alone in his apartment with the curtains drawn, and the door locked. It wasn't to achieve

an overdue worthy earned rest from tiring missions, this was time for him to stall and to think,

because he was deathly scared and he didn't know what to do.

Prologue:

It started a 3 weeks ago, Kakashi had taken an A-ranked mission to the scout out the sound village,

the plan was for him to infiltrate Orochimaru's head quarters, get in learn the latest plans and

tactical movements and get out. What he hadn't anticipated on was running into said ex-snake

sannin himself, a few ANBU guards and perhaps a few missing nin, but not the Lord psycho

himself.

Kakashi wasn't prepared for that sort of encounter Orochimaru was supposed to be making war

strategies in the cloud village from the information intercepted a few weeks back but that wasn't the

case, Kakashi's sharigan was already at it's limit, if he wanted to escape he had to do at that exact

moment. He dodged countless kunai, cut down any sound ninja in his path, fleeing for freedom. Just

moving on pure adrenaline. He came to the borders of the land of fire, he was hopeful in making it

back across, unfortunately not before he was bitten by one of Orochimaru's 'pets'. The snake had

been and average size every day snake, yet it was blue with purple markings, it's poison was not

intended to kill. It was a more experimental formula Orochimaru had come with and wished to have

tested. Kakashi was the poor sod to be the one to test it, he'd kicked away the snake and fled back

home, he didn't even see the hokage first, he just collapsed in his home. Then suffered 2 hours of

excruciating pain through his veins, next thing he woke up with dog ears and a tail...
