Sick
Intro: Kakashi Hatake
Kakashi sat quietly, staring at the whitewhitewhite wall in the staff room. He didn't like these white walls, they were too bright, too plain and they hurt Kakashi's eyes. He had been at the Clinic for more than twenty-four hours, and hadn't slept or eaten. Except for seven cups of coffee, that only left his left eye twitching. Behind him, stood two other doctors who worked with him in the special unit. It was Iruka and Shizune, though Shizune wasn't really a doctor. She was more like a nurse and an assistant.
"Did you hear?" He heard Shizune saying from behind him. Her voice sounded low, as if she were gossiping. It wasn't like her to gossip, which meant this had to be interesting.
"What?" Iruka replied.
"There's going to be a new patient joining us next week."
"Really?" Iruka replied, though he didn't sound too interested.
"Yeah," Shizune replied, and Kakashi could hear the coffee machine rumbling to life. It was practically the Clinic's life-source. "Tsunade had files on her desk she needed to sort out the other day, but you know her, she kept falling asleep at her desk. So in the end I had to sort most of it out." Tsunade was the Director of the whole of Konoha Hospital, and was in charge of every ward. Shizune was Tsunade's assistant. "Gender; Male. Age; Sixteen-years-old. Case; Suicide."
Iruka groaned this time. "Another suicidal teenager?" He didn't sound too happy. He sounded, worried.
"Yeah. Another suicidal teenager, but he seems to be a lot different to the others here," was her reply. "He's been in hospital numerous times on suicide attempts, but had never been submitted for a Clinic or even therapy. Apparently-" By now, Shizune was gossiping, but before she could continue her sentence, Tsunade had stormed into the staff room…
"KAKASHI HATAKE!" The blonde doctor yelled, startling both Shizune and Iruka. But not Kakashi, he didn't even flinch.
Kakashi merely continued to stare at the blank wall before him and replied, "Yes?"
"I am giving you your first case," was all she replied, holding out a large white envelope, Kakashi hated white. "Don't let us down."
"I won't," he replied.
"Good. How long have you been here?"
Kakashi looked at her with lazy eyes, and then turned them down to the watch on his wrist. "Twenty-four hours and twenty-three minutes, to be precise."
"Go home and get some rest," she ordered, but not because she cared. Okay, maybe she did care. Just a bit…
Kakashi nodded at her and took the envelope from her hands. Tsunade gave him a stern and agreeing nod before walking out the staff room.

Kakashi awoke in his small apartment bedroom, in his small apartment just a few blocks away from the hospital he worked at. The blinding rays of sun-light glared in through the little gaps of his wooden blinds, but Kakashi was too tired to get up and close them. The grey haired man just lay there, in his small double-bed, staring up at the whitewhitewhite ceiling above him. God, how he hated the colour white.
After staring at the white ceiling, Kakashi got fed-up and got out of bed. He brushed his teeth, used the toilet, had a shower then dressed into a pair of grey sweat-pants and a loose black vest-top. Kakashi then sat down at his small desk, where a small pot of pencils and pens rested, and randoms stacks of papers and files. He took out the envelope Tsunade had given him and began to examine the papers. He assumed this was the boy Shizune and Iruka were talking about.

Kakashi read through the rest of the papers, taking small notes in his mind about the Uchiha. And it was unusual for the grey haired male, for he never anticipated anything… But, oddly he anticipated the young boy's arrival next week.
