Kakashi's Pov
Kakashi unlocked his apartment, panting like he ran a mile even though he had only walked up two flights of stairs. He was tired and covered with tiny, shallow cuts that stung as the fabric of his black long-sleeved shirt brushed his skin. He practically crawled to his bed and took off his vest and black shirt. Underneath was a tank top connected to his mask. He left it on and climbed into bed, ready to sleep for the next week or so.
All he saw was blood. "Kakashi...KAKASHI!" He jerked out of sleep, gasping for air. He looked down. "No...nonono!" He dashed to his bathroom sink, taking out his old rag. He turned on the water and rubbed his hands raw. Finally, after scrubbing in a blind panic, he regained control. "I thought I had gotten over that...Why now?" He glanced out the window. The sun was pretty high in the sky… he was 2 hours later than usual. But he stayed put. He was frozen, repressed memories suddenly flooding in. "What!? How..?" He froze, and started shaking uncontrollably. Tears threatened to spill out of both his mismatched eyes. Suddenly, he heard footsteps. "Not this again.." He hadn't noticed Guy creeping in, after nobody could find him anywhere. He gasped, looking at Kakashi's shaking figure, looking so...weak. His eyes rolled back into his head, and he started sweating like crazy. Guy stepped back. "A seizure!? My rival.." Kakashi stopped shaking after about 2 minutes and 30 seconds. Guy warily approached him, worried. Kakashi looked up. "...S-Sorry…" Guy looked at him in disbelief. "Sorry!? What.. I'm taking you to the hospital!" Kakashi's eyes seemed to pop out of his head. He started shaking again, although not as hard. "No..please no.." Guy shook his head. There have been many instances where Kakashi had blatantly shown his fear for the hospital, and Guy had let him go without professional treatment before, but this was way more serious. He grabbed Kakashi before he could say a word.
Sakura's Pov
Sakura, Sasuke, and Naruto waited, impatient, outside their sensei's hospital room. Naruto paced back and forth, while Sakura shook her fist at the door. "CHA! I CAN KNOCK DOWN THE DOOR!" Her second personality announced. "No.. That wouldn't be smart, and sensei needs treatment." Her normal, and main personality stated. Naruto interrupted her train of thought. "I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE!" He yelled. Sakura glanced at him, silently agreeing. Sasuke leaned against the wall, arms crossed. "Tsk. Idiot." He muttered. Naruto turned to him. "WHAT DID YOU SAY, TEME!?" He screamed. "Shut up, dobe." Sasuke said as he walked away. "TEMEEEEE!" Sakura held the struggling form of Naruto as Sasuke headed into the lobby. "Tensions are higher than normal, Naruto. Please calm down.." Sakura said warily. They had been standing here for hours, after Lee had come and told them what happened. They had been looking for Kakashi everywhere, as he had been 2 hours later than normal. They had seen him for only a moment, and it was one of the most awful sights any of them had seen, although Sasuke only looked a bit fazed. Both his arm's skin had been rubbed to shreds, the right arm shaking like crazy. His whole body was shaking, and they had to hold him down while he pleaded with them to take his eye, the one with the Sharingan. It was awful, and none of them had any idea what it was about.
Ibiki's Pov
Ibiki rushed into Kakashi's room. Multiple nurses held him down, even though he didn't seem to be struggling at the moment. Tsunade looked up at him, eyes bloodshot and worried. "I.. I don't know why it's so... Sudden." She said shakily. Ibiki looked down at Kakashi. His arms were heavily bandaged, and they were strapped to the bed. The right arm was shaking, along with the rest of his lanky form. One nurse was pushing his chest up and down. He looked questionably at Tsunade when seeing this. "He's refusing to breathe." Was all she said. Ibiki's eyes widened for a moment. He took a deep breath and surveyed everything for a moment longer. "Panic attack, huh?" Tsunade nodded. "Seizure too. 2 and a half minutes. His arms were scrubbed raw, Guy found an old rag with... Lots of old bloodstains. Years old." Said stated in her professional tone. Ibiki wasn't too surprised. "I did a psych exam on him when he was in ANBU. He told me he could always see blood on his arms, but it was worse after a nightmare. I tried the drip test on him, instantly started tearing up his arms." Tsunade nodded. "I thought so." They stood there for a while, shocked when Kakashi opened his eyes. "Hana... Hana.." He whispered. Tsunade and Ibiki looked at each other. "Hana?" They said, "Who's that?" Ibiki said. Kakashi closed his eyes. "I need... Hana. Please.." Tsunade's eyes widened. "Oh.. You know her?" Kakashi was silent. Tsunade looked at Ibiki. "Hana's in the ANBU. She took over Team Ro after Kakashi left. Can you go get her?" Ibiki nodded, then dashed away. Tsunade's brow furrowed. "What's up with you two..?"
