"Papercut"
by: Theif of the Sand
His only female student Sakura had been giving her confused looks. She had caught him with the kunai, most likely her emotions that she usually wore on her sleeve were labeled as such from his slit eyes. Confusion, curiosity, and fear.
The girl was sitting on the opposite side of him he needed to take his potion now or he might lose his humanity till it was day, when there would no longer be moonlight he would be safe. His genin team would be safe and all of his worries would be shoved in the back of his mind and would eventually a tumor.
Well, some things were inevitable. An example might be... the transformation... and loss of clothes in the process.
Other than the loss of clothes when you transformed during the full moon, Kakashi would turn wolf-like. His inner demon would be let out. His humanity would be intact if he drank the potion that the, Karusa, sent him. And unfortunately that event would happen, tonight. While his students were here.
Shit!
-my thoughts exactly-
Not you again...
He took out the vile from his pocket and spoke to Sakura, "Sakura...?"
-yeah, you guessed right. It's me-you! Aren't we going to have fun tonight?-
Go away I need to speak to Sakura!
-whatever, but you shouldn't cheat on Kunai.-
I'm not cheating on her! So go away!
-whatever-
"Yes, Master Kakashi?" She looked at him with worried emerald eyes, she looked at him trying to decifer him in the shadows of the trees and the roaring fire. "Is there something you need?"
He looked at her with stern eyes, serious in every way. He voice sounded low and fluctuating, "Sakura-." He coughed, "I need you to-," another cough, "to watch out for the boys. Stay in your tents. Don't come looking for me till next morning. Think of it as sort of survival training." He looked at her again and closed his eye slightly as though the light hurt. Her eyes widened when he looked directly into her eyes.
She noticed something was wrong with Kakashi's right eye. It wasn't the deep onyx that it was earlier. It seemed to be sort of tinted, the onyx seemed to be mixing with a strange gold color. What?
He decided not to turn his back to her in fear of her discovering. He held her gaze, his eye was tainted he used his his control to lock the inner wolf, inside of him. For now. "Sakura do you under-stan-d?" His voice wavered again when he spoke, he coughed again.
She nodded her head.
Good.
He pulled out her hand and he opened her and his palm and closing it. He nodded, hoping she would look underneath the underneath. Deeper than the hidden meaning.
She looked at him with questioning eyes for one last time. He shook his head at her and refused to meet her gaze. It was slowly tearing down the doors to the barrier to the outside world. A sharp pain hit his hand, it was starting. He opened the tinted eye. Night had come.
Why does it feel like night today?
Something in here's not right today
Why am I so uptight today?
Paranoia's all I got left
I don't know what stressed me first
Or how the pressure was fed / but
I know just what it feels like
To have a voice in the back of my head
Without a second thought, Kakashi left her. Disappearing in a cloud of smokeKakashi decided he needed to head to a place where he could lock himself up. Or at least a place where the demon couldn't get out. His backpack carried all of his needs. He slipped on the leather necklace that he recieved earlier today.
In the center of the necklace was a small black feather. A symbol so he would remember who he lived for. His reason to live.
He heard water rushing, he implanted chakra to his feet and went to the new destination. But every time he used his chakra another force hit his head, it was a sharp jabbing pain. And it had a sweet taste of freedom.
He found himself at a waterfall. Perfect. There was a carvern beneath the waves of crashing water. He placed chakra to his feet, and walked on the water. Another hit to the head. He could here laughter, a chuckling wolf. But neither would survive if they didn't get on land. The demon let him proceed. He parted the crashing water with his chakra, his onyx eye became faint in the gold, the colors were mixing together.
It's like a face that I hold insideA face that awakes when I close my eyes
A face watches every time I lie
A face that laughs every time I fall
(And watches everything)
So I know that when it's time to sink or swim
That the face inside is hearing me / right beneath my skin
He stepped into the cavern it was dark, but even this santuary wouldn't stop the tranformation. This was inevitable. It was the reason Kakashi wouldn't have a relationship, but it was the reason he had friends.
During his transformation to ease the pain Gemna, Gai, and Asuma would use a henge jutsu to transform into animals. Gemna was a coyote, Gai a tortise, and Asuma a black bear.
But there used to be a crow. She used to help him ease the pain, there would be a small crow on his back nestled in his silver fur, a bear with an arm aroun his shoulder pining him down, an overly happy tortise by his head, and a coyote snuggled up by his stomach.
When he transformed he could only respond to animals, humans were a nunsiance at that time. And these were his friends Gemna, Gai, Asuma, and Kunai.
They were all there for him. They would cancel there missions for him, to ease the pain. He had already lost Yodaime, Obito, and Rin.
How they were there for him made a difference.
She made a difference.
He closed his eyes as he drank the liquid that was in a vile. A burning sensation rose in the back of his neck, his hair stood up on his neck. A warm sensation hit his head.
He dropped the vile and fell to his knees, he opened one eye, the moonlight came through the waterfalls.
Water...
I can't add up to what you can but
Everybody has a face that they hold inside
A face that awakes when they close their eyes
A face watches every time they lie
A face that laughs every time they fall
(And watches everything)
A sickening crunch came from his spine. He arched his back, bones popping, coming into proportion. His hands became bigger. He dropped the vile on the floor he couldn't drink any more.
Right now only a forth through his hands, and spine were to big for him. It continued.
A hot force erupted into his arms and legs, his clothed started ripping, he was on his knees leaning to the ground, his hands and feet were on the floor. It was almost complete.
His other self started to come out in a great magnitude. His jaw popped his features became wolflike. He had a silver muzzle.
His spined grew longer, and another sickiening crunch came he had a tail.
What was left of Kakashi shook his head back arching his back to the moon he let out a feral howl. What was left of Kakashi was drops of water in his mind, locked in the cage the wolf was in. Right now Kakashi was gone. And there was only the wolf. The werewolf.
---
The creature looked at himself a silver wolf filled with passion, exsistance. He had silver fur, it was thick and beautiful. The wolf looked up to began his search for his mother the moon.
Not only had this creature been dormant to long, he hadn't been getting any. (If you know what I mean.) He sniffed the air, his eyes closed.
He picked up a familiar scent, the crow.
The wolf went onto his haunches and dove out of the waterfall. He started sinking into the water. He let out a yelp of surprise. He face turned and his body started to sink. Mother save me. The wolf pleaded in his mind.
But his body only sunk faster. He knew it was time to sink or swim.
So you know that when it's time to sink or swim
That the face inside is watching you too / right inside your skin
It's like I'm / paranoid lookin' over my back
It's like a / whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I / can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin
Swim dammit! Kakashi ordered at the wolf.
With a fight for life the wolf started to swim each paw bringing him closer to land. The wolf's head began to spin as Kakashi fought for control.
I'm not going to let you win!
-A little late for that don't you think?-
Never! He forced the body on hard land. When Kakashi tried to gain control it was as though cold water was rushing onto the wolf's skin. It wasn't warm like his.
But the wolf prevailed, Kakashi was now the face inside of his skin. He stood up on his four legs and took in the direction of the cawing crow. I'm coming.
It's like I'm / paranoid lookin' over my back
It's like a / whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I / can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin
Kakashi's control was still there. Buried but still there. A fight for dominance would erupt. He had to keep the crow alive. She was his one true love.
the face inside is right beneath my skin
the face inside is right beneath my skin
the face inside is right beneath my skin
The sun goes down
I feel the light betray me
There was no sun, the moon became brighter forcing the demon to call back onto the moon. He howled. It was long and sad- breaking the point of his heart.
The sun goes down
I feel the light betray me
The sun
It's like I'm / paranoid lookin' over my back
It's like a / whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I / can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin
I feel the light betray me
It was almost complete. The vile rolled in the carvern leeking the undranken substance.
The sun
It's like I'm / paranoid lookin' over my back
It's like a / whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I / can't stop what I'm hearing within
I feel the light betray me
It's like I / can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like I / can't stop what I'm hearing within
