Set when Team 7 is Naruto, Sasuke and Sai. Very much a work in progress - Kakashi is my favourite character and I wanted to fill in some of the gaps around his history. Cue darker universe complete with heartbreak, daring, revenge and some Naruto goofiness.
Comments are really appreciated - but please be constructive. I'm a sensitive soul :-)

Prologue
It was raining. The drops tapped against the window, soft but distinct. The shadow of the woman crept across his eyes, but he looked away from it. The rain was drumming harder. The shadow pulled him towards her again. She was crying, back breaking sobs, face wrenched in an ugly grimace, mouth contorting to control herself. He looked away again. Then he was standing at the door. Her eyes were boring into him. She was walking towards him, through him and past him and was gone.
Kakashi opened his eyes. The bedsheets clung to his skin and his throat cracked with thirst. Early morning sun pressed through the blinds making him squint hard. His eyes flickered to the cactus on his windowsill and to his desk drawer as he sat up on his bed. He blinked away the sleep, clenched a fist, took a deep breath and placed his head on his knees. The tension released and he got up to make breakfast.
