'In hindsight maybe I shouldn't have used my sharingan so much' a battered and bloody 20 year old kakashi thought holding his left eye and collapsing against a tree. 'I can just imagine that if guy was here then he would say something completely idiotic like "my eternal rival how could your flames of youth be dimming so much" ' kakashi thought chuckling to himself. *cough, cough* kakashi had to take of his mask as he coughed up a mouthful of blood, "next time I'm going to make minato sensei check out our supposed allies" kakashi weakly said to himself as he pulled his mask back up his face, 'I need to stop using my sharingan for a while' kakashi thought to himself as he wiped the blood from his eye. 'Maybe I should rest…for…a…minute' kakashi thought drifting in and out of unconsciousness.

~Half an hour later~

A giant explosion of light woke kakashi 'What's that'? Kakashi thought as he was too weak to speak, before his question could be answered he discovered that he was surrounded by a blinding light, okay this is new kakashi thought as he reached to get his katana when his injuries started to catch up to him as he grabbed his chest and collapsed to the ground, "not…again" kakashi strained as he closed his eyes and once again slipped into unconsciousness.

~Soul society~

A massive explosion of light from the edge seireitei interrupted the captains meeting "what was that"? Asked the 12th division captain kisuke urahara turning in the direction of the explosion,

"I don't know but the amount of spiritual pressure was enormous" said the 8th division captain shunsui kyoraku with a shocked look on his face along with all of the other captains.

"We can work out the specifics later, but right now we need to act, yoruichi you and soifon go to the sight of the explosion, retsu you go as well to make sure no one is injured". The head captain ordered with authority.

"Yes head captain" the three soul reapers said bowing and then running out of the door.

~explosion sight~

"We're just lucky that the explosion happened in this empty area" yoruichi said looking around.

"Do you sense anyone soifon"? Yoruichi asked her bodyguard who was searching the area for any new spiritual pressures.

"No lady yoruichi I haven't seen anyone nor can I sense any new spiritual pressure" soifon said shaking her head "I guess no one was here but we should stay here in case something else happens".

"Well it looks like you don't…*gasp*" retsu couldn't finish her sentence before a man with silver hair and covered in deep cuts staggered out of the deep crater were the explosion occurred.

"Who*cough, cough*are you" was all kakashi could cough out before collapsing into a pile from the pain of his injuries.

"Hold on"! Retsu shouted whilst running over to the collapsed young man. As she started healing some of his more serious injuries she wondered 'who is he'.

This same thought was shared by the two other women in the group, "do you think he caused the explosion lady yoruichi"? Soifon asked her captain.

But before yoruichi could answer her subordinate's question retsu interrupted her "well I have stopped the internal bleeding and the bleeding from his left eye along with the rest of his serious injuries, but none of them were from what happened here…"

"So that means that he wasn't caught in the explosion" yoruichi asked surprised.

"Well he is obviously neither a soul reaper nor a spirit, so how did he get here" soifon said looking at the unconscious silver haired man in front of her.

"I don't know but what I'm wondering is what is he hiding behind that mask" yoruichi said with a sly grin, "retsu you did sedate him right"? She asked with her grin getting bigger

"Yes, he shouldn't wake up unless I release a certain amount of spiritual energy into his chest" retsu answered

"Well then should we have a peek under that mask of his and I'm sure you two want to see as well" yoruichi said with a smirk.

"No we didn't"! The other two women shouted each with a blush.

Yoruichi just chuckled at her friends' reactions as she light took hold of the hem of kakashi's mask and started to pull it down when a hand shot up and grabbed her wrist throwing her in the opposite direction as kakashi jumped up.

"Who are you and were am I" kakashi asked

"How dare you speak to lady yoruichi like that you-"! Soifon shouted at the disrespectful masked man before she was interrupted by yoruichi.

"I am yoruichi shihoin the captain of squad 2 in the thirteen court guard squads this is my body guard soifon and this is the captain of squad 4 retsu unohana. And this is the soul society… the soul society is the place where you come after you die to put it simply" yoruichi told the silver haired man in front of her.

"Place you come after you die does that mean that I'm dead" kakashi asked almost a bit lazily.

"No you're not dead, but you seemed a bit bored when you thought that you might be dead" yoruichi said almost surprised that this man acted like he didn't care if he was dead or not.

"I'm a shinobi we face death all the time" kakashi said.

"How did you wake up after I sedated you" Retsu asked kakashi.

"I came out of unconsciousness after I focused my chakra into my chest after I stopped feeling any serious pain" kakashi said to the dark haired woman.

"Wait just a minute, you know our names but we know nothing about you"! Soifon shouted at the silver haired man.

"All right then, what do you want to know about me" kakashi asked as he sat down.

"At least tell us something" soifon said giving up shouting at the man.

"My name is kakashi I'm 15 I am the captain of the ANBU back ops of the hidden leaf village (konoha)…the ANBU is basically a stealth force".

"Is anything else kakashi"? Yoruichi asked.

"I don't think that is any of your business, speaking of things that aren't your business what were you doing to my mask before"? Kakashi asked, glaring at the violet haired woman standing in front of him.

"Well I got a bit curious as to what was under your mask" yoruichi replied sheepishly.

"Well you know what they say, curiosity killed the cat" replied kakashi.

'Interesting phrasing' was the thought that passed through the three women's minds.

"But if you really want to see what's under my mask then all you have to do is take these bells from me within the next half an hour, if you do the I will take my mask off " kakashi offered smirking while he attached the bells to his belt.

"Okay but if you have some stupid trick planned like another mask then you have to take that one off as well" yoruichi said with a raised eyebrow.

"Another mask? That would be a pretty funny joke I might have to try that" kakashi said chuckling whilst falling into a taijutsu stance.

As yoruichi and kakashi stared at each other they both grabbed their respective swords, "go" kakashi said as kakashi implemented his own version of his sensei's bell test.

…

Will kakashi lose his mask? Will kakashi get to home? Will you review? Why am I asking you these questions when I should be writing the next chapter?
