NOTE! (agaain ;D )
In the last chapter, I said that academy students can enter the Konoha tournament BUT, what I meant was Genin, not academy students. So that means all the Genin from the Konoha, Mist and Earth country can join.
Thanks to Ragnarok I know now.
Sorry people!

Sunlight pierced through Kakashi's curtains as he lay, rather uncomfortable, in his bed. He was awake for 15 minutes now, but too tired to come out his bed. 'Damn Jiraiya for letting me drink so much…' The grey-haired man rubbed his forehead, groaning a little.
After 20 minutes Kakashi dragged himself out of bed and walked towards the mirror. His normal eye really didn't wanted to go open yet and he didn't wanted to use his sharingan-eye to see how he looked, so he waited. With a sigh his eye finally opened. "Well hello, crap-looking Kakashi, how're you?" Kakashi mumbled to no one in particular as he tried to fix his hair a little.
Kakashi walked/stumbled towards the hallway and noticed that the door of Sasuke's bedroom was open.
As the grey-haired man stood in the doorway, he saw a drenched Sasuke, sitting on his bedside, wearing nothing but his boxers. Sasuke was concentrating on bandaging his right leg and didn't noticed the grey-haired man who watched him having trouble bandaging his leg. 'Properly because it hurts…' Kakashi thought.
"Aren't you cold?" the grey-haired man asked, only to make Sasuke jump a little. The black-haired man glanced towards Kakashi, who kept staring back without blinking. Sasuke didn't answered as he turned back towards his leg. "Why are you drenched?" Kakashi asked while Sasuke continued wrapping his leg with the thick bandages. "One word. Shower." Sasuke muttered. "Aaaaah…" Kakashi nodded slowly. "You're not very clever today huh?" Sasuke teased without looking up. Kakashi snorted and walked towards Sasuke's bed. "You need help with that?" he asked. "Nah I'm almost done now." Sasuke answered softly.
Kakashi glanced at his leg. "Aren't you wrapping it too tight, Sasuke?" The said man paused and titled his head a little to study his leg. "I'm not sure. It doesn't feel like that…" Sasuke mumbled while Kakashi kneeled down and carefully loosened the bandages a little. "You have to be careful with that. Although you don't feel it now, you can feel it later." Kakashi explained while finishing the bandages for Sasuke. "Besides, when you were sleeping yesterday, Tsunade checked your leg and said you really really really have to be careful with it." Kakashi added. "Hn."
Kakashi sat down on the floor more comfortably while Sasuke stood up slowly to dress himself. "Tell me more about Mira." The grey-haired man said while Sasuke pulled up his pants. "What do you want to know?" Sasuke mumbled without looking up. Kakashi seemed deep in thoughts as he bit his lower-lip and looked away. "Everything." He answered while looking back at Sasuke who sat down on his bed to pick up his shirt. "Everything huh? Well, you have to be more specific then that, Kakashi." It stayed silent for a couple minutes as Sasuke carefully pulled the shirt over his head, trying not to touch the stab-wound in his chest.
"How do you know her?" Kakashi decided to ask. Sasuke yanked his shirt in a better position and answered, "She was a gift. From my mother." Kakashi's eyes widened a little. "So…you have her quit some time now?" Sasuke nodded slowly while picking up his shoes. "So…when you were in my team with Naruto and Sakura, you already had that animal?" Kakashi asked. "Yes."
"Why didn't you told us?" Kakashi asked, making Sasuke finally look at him. "Uchiha-clan secret." The black-haired said calmly. "Not anymore?" Kakashi could hear a soft. "Smart-ass.", mutter coming from Sasuke's direction. "No." Sasuke mumbled eventually. "Why not?" Kakashi asked. The grey-haired man felt like he was some annoying little kid who kept asking questions, but ignored that. "Why should it be? The clan isn't here anymore, is it?" Sasuke's voice was calm, like he didn't cared, but Kakashi knew that was a lie. Kakashi stayed silent for a while.
"Where is she now? Staying with somebody else?" Kakashi asked. "No. She lives in the forest just outside Konoha. Mira is smart enough to take care of herself." Sasuke said while picking up the glass of water on his nightstand. "So, you use her for anbu-missions right?" The grey-haired man asked while Sasuke nodded while drinking. "Did you use her when you were in team 7 too?" Kakashi continued while Sasuke lowered the glass of water. "Sometimes. But not for missions though. She just needed some attention and training sometimes. Mira likes it to travel. That's properly how she was kidnapped." The Uchiha explained. "Fusu?" Kakashi asked carefully, trying not to upset Sasuke. "I think so." Sasuke grumbled.
Kakashi pondered if he should start about the Naibuteki Denka. He glanced at Sasuke's face. 'Would he be ready yet?' Kakashi knew that things could go terribly wrong if Sasuke wouldn't stop the still-attacking monster inside Fusu's body. Kakashi shifted uncomfortably on the floor. "So..ehm…do you have more of those..animals? Like, dangerous ones?" If the grey-haired man didn't had such a headache, he would have smacked himself in the face. That was a stupid thing to ask. As expected, Sasuke gave him a suspicious glare. Kakashi hung his head in defeat. He had to spit it out now.
"I know about…the…Naibuteki Denka." Kakashi said softly, only to see Sasuke almost choke in his water. A very unpleasant silence filled the room. "Didn't saw that one coming…" Sasuke admitted softly, his voice shaking a little. "Sasuke. You and I both don't want to talk about this for too long, right? So I'll get to the point,…" Kakashi paused and watched how Sasuke turned his head to look away and swallowed. The grey-haired man continued, "You need to stop that technique. Fusu's still getting attacked. Order it to stop!" Sasuke's eyes grew wide as he shot his head towards Kakashi. "It didn't stopped?" the shocked Uchiha almost yelled. Kakashi blinked before answering, "What? N..no." Sasuke's face became very pale as he grabbed his crutches and jumped up. "Wait, where are you going?" Kakashi jumped up as well, watching how Sasuke left the room. "Sasuke!" the grey-haired man ran after him. Sasuke suddenly stopped, making Kakashi almost crash into him. Without turning around, Sasuke ordered, "Bring me there."

Hhmmm…a little short…but ah well…
Sorry for being late again!
Shugotenshi, you love my style of writing? I'm glad to hear that. :) Sometimes I'm staring at an empty screen, my fingers flying above the keyboard, wondering: 'What is that in English,..what is that in English..' So most of the time I don't even know if it's right what I'm writing. Haha
Screwed Fortune cookie, loved your review. Thanks!
Mizuki Hikari, your answer is above. ;)
Priestess kurumi inu's sister, you have to wait if you want to know if Sasuke enters the tournament or not. :) And, writing a story about a tournament is hard indeed…I tried it before. I'll do my best this time. I wish you good luck with your story! Hopefully you can figure something to continue. ;)
Luna-Lunak, thanks a lot. Great to hear that:)
'Till soon!
I'm (still) in love with reviews!
