AN: OMG, it is with great joy that I post this second chapter of Ninja Platinum. First reason I am glad is because of Wordsplat, who is just pure awesomeness and because of them, this story will keep on going and it will have KakaIru in later chapters. ^_^ Second reason for my happiness. I have just finished watching Kakashi Gaiden. Yes, i waid WATCH because it has FINALLY after months of me wishing and hoping been animated and I couldn't be happier! It was emotional rollercoaster (for me) and we get to see shots of the White Fang in color! Woot! Ok, so I just wanna say, yes, I know the chapters a re short now, but they'll pick up soon. I just have to get some things out of the way first so bear with me for a while. I think that's about it for now. I must spread the happiness! ^_^
Disclaimer: Naruto and Pokemon are not mine. It's a downer on my happy mood, but its true...
"Despite the exploration team's best efforts, the rare, oddly colored Pokémon avoided detection. The rumored red Gyarados failed to appear."
"That concludes our special report, 'Search for the Red Gyarados', brought to you by Jubilife TV on Nationwide Net. See you next time."
"Hmph." Kakashi turned off the TV. He's been in this world of Pokemon for about a week or so, and he's learned a lot. This world is very different from the world he came from. First of all, there were NO NINJA! That meant, no weapon shops, which meant he would have to make do with what he had on him at the time. He still didn't know how he got here. As a matter of fact, he doesn't really remember anything that could help him figure it out. He did know one thing, though. He had his pack with him, so he guessed he was on a mission, and Gai was there too, so he must have been on the mission as well. But what bothers him is the fact that he can't remember a mission. The last thing he actually remembers is being summoned to Tsunade's office in the middle of training team 7.
He was pondering these thoughts all week, but nothing came back. He went downstairs to get something to eat.
Breakfast was uneventful and now Kakashi was sitting on his couch, reading some books he found on a shelf. He was bored. He got up to put the book back on his shelf when Gai burst in through the front door.
"Eternal Rival!" He exclaimed. "Are you as bored as I am!?"
Gai? Bored? That was bad.
"I don't know how bored you are, but I'm pretty bored."
"Let's go find a place to train! That will restore our youthfulness!"
"Sure, whatever."
There was a lake nearby, Lake Verity, and they decided to go there to train. It would be 1) hidden and safe and 2) the perfect place to see if they could still use chakra in this world.
They were nearing the entrance when Kakashi stopped mid-step and hissed in pain, clutching his side. He had to kneel down on one knee, the pain was so great.
"Kakashi! What happened!?" Gai asked, serious, but semi-panicking.
"I- I don't- know." He hissed. "It just-"Kakashi's head snapped up in alarm. "-I sense- something… something bad." He found himself up and staggered towards the lake, but when they entered, there was nothing there.
"Kakashi?"
"I could have sworn- I-" He didn't finish his sentence because he collapsed.
When Kakashi came to, he was back in his bed and Gai was hovering over him with a worried look on his face.
"Aah!" That was not the thing you want to wake up to in the morning.
"Eternal Rival! You are up! You gave us all quite a scare."
"Us?"
Kakashi sat up and looked around his room. Gai was there, obviously, but so were professor Rowan and his assistants, Dawn and Lucas.
"How do you feel Kakashi?" Dawn asked.
"Yeah. Gai told us you collapsed and we rushed right over." Lucas explained.
"You were only out about half a day." Rowan added.
"Are you okay?" Gai asked.
"Yeah, I'm better now. It doesn't hurt anymore."
"What happened?" Rowan asked.
"I don't know. We were getting closer to the lake when I felt a pain in my side, then I sensed something bad, like an evil chakra or something."
"Chakra?" Rowan asked.
"Yeah." Kakashi began to explain the basics of chakra and why they were going to the lake in the first place.
"Interesting." Rowan said. "I never would have imagined…"
"That. Is. So." Dawn began.
"COOL!" Lucas finished.
"Well. There's more than one reason we came over, Kakashi, Gai. We may have found out more on how you got here." Rowan said.
"Really?" Gai asked.
"Yes, but we'll discuss it tomorrow. Rest up and come by my lab first thing. I'll be waiting. Dawn, Lucas, let's go."
"Yes Professor." They both said. They bowed to Kakashi and Gai before following the Professor out.
"Kakashi. You said you sensed an evil chakra." Gai said once the three visitors left.
"Yeah, but… I'm not entirely sure."
"Do you think…"
"We might not be the only ones."
Silence filled the small room.
"Well then," Gai said, full of youthfulness. "We should rest up. Perhaps we will find out more tomorrow."
Gai got up and crossed the room… 5 feet before plopping himself down on a bed roll he managed to find somewhere.
"Gai. What are you doing?"
"I'm spending the night. I can't leave you here on your own."
"Yes, you can."
"Nonsense. I'll be here. If you need me, just call out."
