Chapter II- how lucky can you get?

XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

Sometimes the world just isn't fair. How can it be? Here you are thinking that: Hey, everything's going my way… I'm the man! But before you could even mull over on your newfound luck, the entire cosmos just come crashing down upon you.

WHAM!

A slamming door's crash was echoed throughout the hallway as tenants from other rooms on that building all came to the conclusion that somebody had woken up on the wrong side of the bed. Although slightly agitated, the occupants decided not to think about it that much and resumed to whatever it was they were doing.

"Gack! Ow, ow, ow, ow!" a certain silver haired man winced in agony. He was too busy contemplating on his "loss" to actually take his left hand out of the doorframe first before shutting the door. Dammit!

He began examining his unfortunate fingers and noticed them starting to turn purple.

Great… just great! Not only did I manage to loose that book, I get my hands swollen as an added bonus…perfect.

And to think, he shut his door rather hard. (ow, that must've hurt… A LOT!) Kakashi began to make his descent on the flight of stairs as he made his way out of the building. He stopped in his tracks, sensing a queasy feeling in his stomach. He blinked his exposed eye several times in desperate attempts to hold back the tears that were already threatening to spill from it. He began to catch sharp intakes of breath as he started calming himself.

It's okay, It's okay…it wasn't that bad, was it? He began examining his hand again. His once slender fingers now became stubby. What were once perfect fingers, turned into ugly looking pieces of flesh.

Yeesh, now they're beginning to look like wieners… ooooh boy!

Kakashi, you're going to be fine… quit being a wuss. He scolded himself but his attempt of calming himself becoming a far call as his previously suppressed tears became more evident as the saline liquid fell from his eye.(how cute!)

It wasn't only the pain of his fingers that made him cry… no… it wasn't the only damn reason why he displayed such an immature act for a grown man. That pain alone wasn't enough to make him cry like that for even a greater pain was haunting him at the very moment.

Damn you, what if somebody sees you like this, eh? What would they think! Ok now, hush… it's only a damn book for CRAP'S SAKE!

He hushed down as he quieted his sniffles and wiped the ever-present tears on his cheeks.

"If anybody sees my like this, I'd be the laughing stock of the entire village." he muttered as he quickly erased the traces of that damned liquid with his uninjured hand.

He then pictured what would it be like if he got caught. He can see in his mind's eye the looks on the villager's faces. He knew that if they did, they'd be thinking:

Isn't that the copy ninja, Kakashi? My, my, who would've thought that he'd turn out to be a CRYBABY…

Crybaby…

Crybaby…

Crybaby…

He winced as their voices rang in his ear.

Am not! Who are they calling crybaby! He retorted back to his own thoughts.

I happen to be the "great" copy ninja Hatake Kakashi, if that's whom they're calling crybaby! Screw them all!…

And with that thought a look of determination shone on his face. Gone was the look of misery that was there a while ago. Now, his look now proclaimed for the entire village to see that he, the great copy-nin is NOT a crybaby. Not that it really mattered; he always wears that mask of his therefore making people unable to see his expression.

But to our favorite ninja, it mattered a lot since he now felt considerably better.

After all, I could always buy another copy of Icha Icha Chaos… those were his final thoughts as he headed for their meeting place, a smile then played on his lips…
