'Kyle's sharingan is unique. I've never heard of a sharingan that will show the next jutsu you perform, even if you aren't fighting.' Kakashi thought. 'Kyle may be more useful than we thought.'
It had been a year since Kyle was stabbed by Sasuke, and he had learned how to heal smaller wounds, as well as how to use a scaled-down version of chakra enhanced strength jutsu.
"Stop copying me!" Sakura had joked.
"Can't help it." Kyle smiled, pulling his eyelid down, showing his sharingan, and sticking his tongue out.
While no one else had change, Kyle had seen much change over the year. His brown hair was now shoulder-length, and he wore a Konoha ninja vest that he never zipped up, a black short-sleeve shirt under it, baggy black pants, sandals, and his headband over his eyes.
On this particular day, both Kakashi and Kyle were sitting under a tree, reading the Make-Out book series.
"What are you two doing?" Aneko asked, then looked at Kakashi. "You're almost never here early!"
"I figured I could read a book on a tree. Kyle recommends it." Kakashi said.
"Reading your pervert books under a tree? That's not odd." Aneko said sarcastically.
"Considering you're in the minority, it isn't odd." Kyle said.
"You're reading it, too?" Aneko asked.
"Yeah. It's in Braille, though." Kyle said.
"Aren't you a bit young?" Aneko asked. "Those are only for eighteen-year olds and up."
"Oops." Kyle shrugged, his hand moving along the pages. "I might be a year or three under the age limit."
Aneko sighed. "You could stop reading and focus on me."
"As much as I want to focus on your beautiful and womanly voice, this dude's doin' something, and I wanna see what it is." Kyle said.
Aneko blushed brightly.
"So, what's up with everyone's favorite orange-jumpsuit wearing ninja?" Kyle asked.
"They're crazy over each other." Aneko said, sitting beside Kyle.
"Of course. Matchmaker Kyle knows best." Kyle smiled, though he didn't stop reading his book.
"You know, you're a lot like Kakashi." Aneko said.
"Really?" Kakashi asked.
"Yeah. I mean, you both got the sharingan thing going on, and you both read those books." Aneko said.
"Kakashi has more fangirls." Kyle said.
Both Kakashi and Aneko looked at him.
"You know it's true. I mean, if you take your shirt off I bet the fangirls would be heard the world over. And that goes double for Sasuke." Kyle said. The awkward atmosphere was destroyed when Naruto ran up to the others, smiling.
"What's up, Naruto?" Kyle asked.
"How'd you know it was me?" Naruto asked.
"You smell like ramen, dude." Kyle said. "And also you give really good vibes off. It's a bit like therapy, but it kills your brain cells."
The others laughed as Sakura walked up.
"Hey guys," Sakura said. "Kyle, did I ever tell you how much you looked like Kakashi?"
"Y'know, people used to say that about Sasuke." Kyle said. "I'm getting flashbacks."
"Hey, have the sand siblings contacted you yet?" Aneko asked.
"Yeah. They want me to come back, and ask if I'm fully healed yet." Kyle said. "Of course, whenever Temari sends it, she says that she knows I'll lie to them, and doesn't blame me for wanting to live in Konoha."
"Why?" Sakura asked.
"Shikamaru and Temari, sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G." Kyle sang.
"I don't get it." Naruto said.
Kyle slapped his head. "They're dating. So are Neji and Tenten."
"How do you know that last pair?" Aneko asked.
"Who else is in a field in the middle of the night during a romantic full-moon?"
"Good point."
"Now that we're done talking about romance," Kakashi said, jumping down from the tree.
"Get back guys." Kyle said seriously. "This isn't Kakashi."
"What?" Naruto asked.
"How'd you know?" Kakashi asked, blades coming from his fingertips. Kakashi's mouth fell open, revealing a mouth full of razors. "Anyways, now that we're done talking about romance, time to die."
