Summary: What could have possibly vexed kakashi to leave him in this troubled state? Read and find out. Out of My League by deathscythe05Chapter I – counting the baa baa's
XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX
It was a fine night in Konoha and all of its inhabitants are already tucked in their beds and harboring a nightcap.
All except one.
Hatake Kakashi tossed and turned on his bed. He was unable to sleep on that particular evening. Obviously, something is bothering him. He blinked several times urging himself to sleep. No matter what he does he can't seem to get some shut-eye, as his eyelids always seem to flutter open.
He let out an exhausted sigh. There's just no stopping to what was bothering him. Its as if his emotional turmoil is eating away his entire sanity, making him incapable of sleeping.
He lay flat on his bed, arms behind his head and darted his droopy eye to the ceiling. He closed his eyes once again and began to count sheep.
One…two…three…fifty... sixty... seventy... eighty...ninety…ugh!
This isn't working. I'm so pathetic. He thought as he shoved the thoughts of fluffy animals out of his system.
It had been a good seven hours since 'lights-out', the time he usually sleeps. Now, all hopes of getting that much needed rest just went out of the window since it was already five in the morning, last time he checked.
Ugh! Seven hours and fifteen minutes to be exact he mused as he glanced at the alarm clock which now read five fifteen.
The copy-nin continued staring off into space as he tried to draw out ideas that might be able to let him slumber. In attempts to do so, he had read a particular orange book several times before he finally decided that it was no use.
Not even Icha Icha Paradise could lure him away from this night's (or today's) lack of sleep. To make matters worse, (you guys might be thinking: he can catch some z's later, right?) he's about to meet his team in forty-five minutes…uh… make that in THREE hours and forty-five minutes. After all, he's never famed to be an "early bird".
Oh well, what's the point in trying to sleep. I've lost ideas in just doing that…anyway, better wash this away with a good bath…
He scratched his silver head as he got up from his current position and made his way to the shower.
Thanks a LOT, you've been helpful… really. He stared accusingly at his bed. You too. He added to his book.
How could I have been so stupid? Kakashi silently cursed himself as he removed all articles of clothing. (oohlala…xp) He pushed the shower curtains aside and turned on the shower. He sighed as cold water sprayed his dog-tired body.
"I had it in my hands…and…argh! How could I just let it slip away?" he said irritably bracing himself onto the tiled walls of his bath.
"BAKA, BAKA, BAKA, BAKA! Those ninja's would probably have my hide for this…especially…" he trailed of as he pictured a face shooting death glares at him. He shuddered at the thought. Poor me.
"How could I have been so tactless, stupid, CARELESS?" he ranted on, talking to himself in the shower like some deranged mental psycho freak…(um,well you get the pic) What have I done?
Moments later, (that was more like an hour or so) he finally decided to towel his lazy ass dry. As he got himself out of the bathroom, he couldn't help but take a sidelong glance at his dirty novel, now placed on his bedside table. He looked at it and couldn't suppress the guilty feeling churning inside his gut.
What have I done? I'm a disgrace to all men! He shook his head as he clothed himself with his usual Jounin outfit.
He let out another sigh as he recalled again the subject of his misery.
"Of all the things I would loose…Kami, what have I done to deserve such? Why does it have to be -----"

"---the latest and not to mention signed copy of Icha Icha Chaos!" he blurted as he stepped out and slammed the door to his apartment.
TBC (w/c actually refers to the chapter that is soon To Be Created)
nyahaha

Bet you weren't expecting that…huh? (you were? Oh well)
I doubt any shinobi in their right minds would care if he happens to loose that DAMNED book…well for the exception of Jiraiya (he'll probably take that as an insult…) I mean, losing one of your so-called "masterpieces"… what kind of fan does that?
There's not much of the pairing in here (there isn't any, stupid me) but there WILL be if I get REVIEWS. wink wink….juz' kiddin'…or maybe not…or… (aaah! Gotta stop this or I'll turn into a crazed whatchamacallit'). Please leave a REVIEW… I BADLY need it… xp
I hope you enjoyed it...(",)
