This again. After having gone through all the trouble to outsmart his students' attempts to see under his mask - twice - Kakashi was tired. A small part of him hoped that he wouldn't have to go through this again, but he should have known better. As long as Naruto was around, there was no way that it wouldn't. It was hardly surprising to learn that he was the mastermind.
As Naruto listed off various possibilities of what he could be hiding under his mask, Kakashi was thoroughly amused. Buck teeth? Big lips? Was that the best that he could come up with?
Before he knew it, Naruto's gaze fell on him. "Are you in or are you out?"
"Fine." Kakashi was quite confident that his counterpart wouldn't need his help; he'd done well evading them last time on his own, but he figured that a little extra help would go a long way.
Like hell were these kids going to see his face.
At Ichiraku Ramen, all Kakashi had to do was sit back and watch the show. When Team Ten came seemingly flying out of nowhere, Kakashi pretended that Shikamaru had elbowed him, forcing him to stand up to avoid the uncomfortable jab digging into his backside. In reality, his elbow barely grazed him. Kakashi just wanted to be doubly sure that Sasuke's body was blocking his face as he ate, despite the fact that they probably couldn't see over the chaos anyways.
Naruto and Sakura thought there was some divine force working against them. They just didn't know it was Kakashi sensei's doing, how he sent his clone to track down Choji to inform him that there was an eating contest at Ichiraku today.
It worked splendidly.
Stalking Kakashi sensei wasn't Naruto's most brilliant plan, but Kakashi went along with it anyway after seeing that Sakura had relented in her objection. The three of them took turns following him. Naruto and Sakura came back with stories of how Kakashi sensei managed to dupe them, while Kakashi couldn't be bothered to follow his counterpart. During those hours, he ran off to do his own thing and came back when it was time, acting like he stalked Kakashi sensei when he really didn't. For a good measure, Kakashi even tacked on an exasperated sigh and scowl of annoyance when he informed them of the "bad news."
Then when Naruto proposed that all three of them should follow Kakashi sensei, Kakashi felt a mixture of pride and irritation. Irritated because that meant he actually had to go along with their stalking schemes. Proud because he was finally thinking like a team leader.
Even if it was for something as obnoxious as this.
Utterly boring was the only word that Kakashi would use to describe their stalking session.
"You know Kakashi sensei is just walking around in circles, right?" Kakashi deadpanned. It was their third hour at it and Kakashi couldn't help but think that this experience was even worse than taking a Rescue Tora the cat mission.
At least he got paid for that.
"Hush!" Naruto chided, craning his neck to peer over the chimney. Sakura yanked him down by the bottom of his jacket just as Kakashi sensei turned his head to look in their direction. And then promptly disappeared before Naruto decided the coast was safe enough to sneak another peek.
"Ahhh!" Naruto screamed, flailing his arms around like a headless chicken. He jabbed his thumb at him. "It's all your fault, Sasuke! If you didn't talk, then he would have never noticed us here."
That was ironic, considering the fact Naruto had the least amount of stealth out of the three of them.
Kakashi scoffed. "Like he wasn't already onto us the moment we started following him. Didn't you realize we've been around this block three times already?"
"Sasuke kun has a point, Naruto," Sakura interjected, placating their agitated teammate. "We really have been going in circles. I'm pretty sure Kakashi sensei is just playing with us."
Of course he was, Kakashi thought to himself. Confused genins made the best kind of students.
"Argh! Then what do we do now?"
"Give up?" Sakura suggested. "There's no way we can outsmart him at our current level."
"No way! We're not quitters!"
Under normal circumstances, Kakashi would have applauded him for his resolve, but at this point, all he really wanted to do was go home. He hadn't anticipated wasting his day off on something so inconsequential, like a quest to unmask him.
Maybe he couldn't understand; he knew what he looked like after all.
Now, Kakashi needed to do something to make Naruto give up for good. "Kakashi sensei is two blocks away from us."
Naruto's head snapped to look at him. "What? How do you know?"
"I can feel his chakra signature," Kakashi responded nonchalantly. Sasuke's body wasn't made for any sensory type stuff, but Kakashi knew his own chakra signature well enough to be able to pinpoint it quite easily. "So are we going or what?"
Like he hoped, Naruto immediately took the bait. They found Kakashi sensei again, settling on the rooftop on the building to his left. Kakashi noted his counterpart shifting slightly, knowing that he was aware of their presence. Again. However, before Kakashi sensei could make his escape, a loud, energetic voice put a halt to his plans.
"Ah my eternal rival!" Gai. Kakashi was so used to dealing with Gai's antics that he was the one who opened his mouth, ready to respond to his greeting, only to realize that he was supposed to be Sasuke at the moment. He clamped his mouth shut.
"Ah Gai. Did you need something?" This came from Kakashi sensei.
"Are you up for a youthful spar today?" If Kakashi could, he would have agreed to it in a heartbeat. Although he would never verbally admit it, Kakashi missed sparring with him. However, his counterpart declined, citing his groceries as an excuse and that was when Kakashi knew that he needed to do something otherwise they were going to be stuck going around in circles again.
Eyeing the patch of dirt between Kakashi sensei and Gai, Kakashi gritted his teeth before he closed his eyes, released the chakra from his feet, and allowed himself to topple off of the rooftops. He landed smack in between the two jonins, one that showered him with concern while the other looking highly amused.
Kami, his counterpart better be grateful for this. At least this was Sasuke's body; if it had been his real body, Kakashi would never be able to live it down.
Everyone failed to notice his victorious smirk when Naruto yelled when he noticed that Kakashi sensei was gone. Again.
Served him right for stalking him in the first place.
If Kakashi thought the mission to look under his mask would blow over after that, he was sorely mistaken. When their next mission, one that took place outside of the village, came around, Naruto brought up the subject again. This time, he was armed with a multitude of plans, most of which Kakashi thought were quite useless.
Actually, all of the plans were useless, like anything of that caliber would ever work on him, but he had to admit a select few had a hint of ingenuity. Like stealing his Icha Icha book and holding it hostage until Kakashi sensei showed them his face.
Ha. As if he didn't have multiple copies at home.
Dinner rolled around and Kakashi instantly knew that Naruto would try something here. Kakashi sensei knew it too, judging from the way the corner of his eye crinkled in amusement as Naruto and Sakura sat down on the opposite side of the table, so all three genins sat shoulder against shoulder.
"Oh? No one wants to sit next to me?"
"We're fine, Kakashi sensei!" Sakura stammered out, at an octave higher than her normal volume. "There's plenty of space on this side and we wanted to make sure that you were comfortable."
There clearly wasn't, but Kakashi refrained from saying anything. This time, he'd sit back and watch everything unfold. While the rest of the team talked, Kakashi snuck plates of food from the table, knowing that Naruto was going to do something stupid - he had forgotten what - that would result in Kakashi sensei flipping over the entire table.
Kakashi had successfully slipped one plate under the table, managing to do so without catching Kakashi sensei's attention. At this point, Naruto stood up to grab the teapot from the other side of the table, making a huge show of pouring everyone tea.
His eyes widened marginally. Oh, it was the teapot.
"My hand slipped!" Naruto exclaimed, sounding completely unconvincing. Kakashi almost wanted to facepalm; why couldn't he have come up with something better? Not that it mattered because it was painfully obvious that Naruto had purposely thrown it in Kakashi sensei's direction.
Kakashi managed to snatch one more plate from the table right before the entire table was upended, sending the plates of food from sliding down the table and forming an undignified heap.
Witnessing this even happen for the second time made it seem even more ridiculous than the first time around. Who threw teapots at other people's faces? Kakashi shook his head, angling his head away from his students to hide his smile.
Only Naruto would.
By the end of the mission, Naruto had officially run out of ideas. The hot springs tactic Kakashi didn't even bother with; did Naruto really think he would just show his face that easily? As for dressing up using disguises, Kakashi was hardly surprised that Naruto suggested the idea of stalking Kakashi sensei again. Kakashi allowed himself to be wrangled into his scheme, mainly because he was the only one who seemed to be aware that they were still on a mission. Just in case something happened and Kakashi sensei couldn't get to the bandits in time, at least he would be here.
Only if he knew that he would have been mistaken as the enemy and consequently tied up, Kakashi would have never agreed at all.
And finally at the end of the mission, the scheme was finally up. Naruto asked Kakashi sensei directly to his face what he really wanted to know. Kakashi sensei smiled. Naruto and Sakura leaned closer. Kakashi kept up his nonchalant attitude.
"Behind this maskā¦" Kakashi sensei told them ominously. "Is another mask! Pretty cool, huh."
Naruto and Sakura toppled over from the shock while Kakashi sensei chuckled at their expense. The corner of his lips twitched as Kakashi fought against the smile that threatened to appear as he side eyed his gullible students.
Damn, he never realized how fucking dramatic he was.
And Kakashi loved himself for it.
When Kakashi sensei handed them the applications for the Chunin Exams, his first thought was that he wasn't going to participate. It was too much effort for a rank that he didn't need nor care to help Sasuke achieve and well, he knew none of his students would pass on the first try anyways. And who really cared about being a chunin?
Despite still holding a genin status, Naruto eventually became one of the strongest shinobis to ever exist.
Unfortunately, twelve year old Naruto was as excited as he had been the first time and the thought that he was the cause of depriving him of this opportunity made Kakashi feel slightly guilty. However the guilt quickly faded as another thought surfaced.
The Chunin Exams was where Orochimaru made his appearance to give Sasuke the Cursed Mark. If Kakashi opted to skip the exams, then there was no way of knowing if Orochimaru would still come after him. And if he did, Kakashi would be at a disadvantage because he wouldn't be aware of when or where.
With that in mind, his decision was made. Now all he needed to do was convince Sakura, who he knew wavered the first time. Not that it would be extremely difficult because despite his oddities, Kakashi knew that Sakura was still very much infatuated with Sasuke Uchiha.
During the hour long written examination portion, Kakashi filled out the answers on the testing sheet and promptly fell asleep. A pencil wacked him in the head, waking him up from his slumber. His eyes met the proctor's for a brief second before Kakashi laid back down. The next object to hit him was a blackboard eraser, this time from Ibiki. Shooting a glare in his direction, Kakashi picked himself up from the table.
Fine, if they wouldn't allow him to sleep, then he would do something else to entertain himself. Flipping over the exam sheet, Kakashi began writing his favorite passage from Icha Icha. One of the proctors was bound to peruse over his scribbling out of curiosity and Kakashi could already imagine the horrified look on their faces.
Served them right for not leaving him alone.
Standing in front of the gates to the Forest of Death made Kakashi so reminiscent of when he took his own Chunin Exams. Theirs had been more straightforward, a team versus team match, so this version brought a degree of challenge with it. Of course, Kakashi was going to make sure that they didn't finish the exam before he could face off with Orochimaru.
If Orochimaru didn't show up, then Kakashi would have no choice to seek him out.
Two hours into the exams, Orochimaru made his appearance. Kakashi hadn't expected him to appear so quickly, but he relished it. The sooner he came, the sooner they could get out of the damned forest.
Orochimaru's snake summon took Naruto away. Forming a lightning clone, which sapped away more chakra than he expected, he let his clone bound away to chase after Naruto. As much as he wanted to personally help his student, there was no way a clone could stand a chance against Orochimaru's real body.
Once Kakashi landed deftly in the clearing, he found his body frozen as Orochimaru began to leak killing intent into the area. The killing intent was combined with a genjutsu, meant to amplify their fears. A tactic that would certainly scare all genins into submission and maybe even some chunins, but unfortunately for him, Kakashi had never been a regular genin anyways.
He broke free of the hold, but pretended that he didn't. Taking advantage of his current state, he surveyed his surroundings, making a mental catalogue of where all the trees and branches were located, as well as any shrubbery that he could use to his advantage. On his right, Sakura was completely frozen, body trembling as she attempted to move but failed.
When Orochimaru taunted them for being weak genin instead of attacking, Kakashi took the liberty of making the first move. Flashing across the clearing, his fingers blurred through the sequence for a fireball jutsu. He was too fast or he had caught Orochimaru off guard because he didn't even have the chance to move right as Kakashi spit the fireball in his face. A horrendous screech pierced the air as Orochimaru clawed at his face, pulling away the remnants of his fake identity.
It was the perfect time for Kakashi to follow up with another attack, but he was consciously aware that Sakura was still in the open, with no way of defending herself. Heading back towards her side, he broke her free of the genjutsu and tugged her quite a ways from the initial battlefield. Spitting instructions for Sakura to keep a lookout for Naruto and not interfere with his battle, Kakashi turned to face Orochimaru again.
The last of his melting face was peeled away, revealing his original face.
"Ku ku ku. How interesting. You were just pretending to be frozen in fear. As expected from the Uchiha prodigy."
"Hmph. I was waiting for you, Oro-chi-maru." Last time Kakashi faced off with Orochimaru, he carried a false sense of bravery that he couldn't back up. However this time, Kakashi did.
Could Sasuke's twelve year old body defeat a legendary Sannin even with the mind and experience of a hardened jonin? No, but that didn't matter. His greatest weapon was his knowledge and Kakashi looked forward to seeing how Orochimaru reacted to all of this. And maybe he would have some fun in the process, as a form of revenge for causing his former student so much grief.
"Do you want to know what I know?"
Like he predicted, Orochimaru took the bait. To start off with, Kakashi started listing off the various locations of his research bases, in an agonizingly slow manner. The first few locations didn't mean much to Orochimaru; however, the more he spoke, the more Orochimaru began to connect the dots. When Kakashi finally mentioned the Hidden Sound Village and the threat of revealing his hideout locations to all of the major nations, he could have sworn he saw fear flash in Orochimaru's eyes for a brief second.
Killing intent flooded the area. "How do you know all of this?"
Kakashi couldn't resist challenging him. "Wouldn't you like to know?"
Orochimaru lunged at both of them. Spinning on his heels, Kakashi angled his body to avoid the bundle of snakes that shot out from Orochimaru's sleeve. Having missed him entirely, Orochimaru elongated his arm, using his snakes to head after Sakura. Kakashi could only afford a quick glance at Sakura, confirming that she was still alive, before Orochimaru fired another bundle of snakes in his direction with his other arm.
A simple fireball jutsu sent all of them up into flames, reducing them to nothing more than charred crisps. Pulling a sword out of his mouth, Orochimaru swung it at Kakashi, sweeping an arc at his feet. The move forced him to jump and Orochimaru took advantage of his limited movement in mid-air to shoot out his tongue, wrapped in a genjutsu. Fishing out some ninja wire and a kunai, Kakashi pulled himself out of the trajectory of his tongue, while breaking the genjutsu. Reality was restored in a nick of time, just for him to swing himself around the tree using the trunk as a shield for the mini fireballs that came at him that had been previously disguised as wind.
Running along the length of the trunk, Kakashi fired kunai at Orochimaru. Each hit its mark with a loud thunk; Orochimaru thoroughly amused thinking that this was the best that he could do. Too bad Kakashi never intended to take the fight seriously.
"I know all about your experiments!" Kakashi called down from his position in the treetops. "You've been experimenting with Hashirama cells to create another Wood Style user. You're also trying to replicate the Second Hokage's reanimation jutsu, which is working but the reanimated beings are still weak."
Orochimaru prevented him from continuing as he sent another stream of snakes at him. Instead of avoiding them this time, Kakashi took them head on, attaching himself to the underside of their torso just beneath their head. Latching on, he started to sprint along the length of the snakes, dicing them into pieces as he went.
"You don't want to admit it, but you're getting old." A powerful wind jutsu knocked Kakashi off of his feet, sending him sailing through the air. Orochimaru moved at lightning speed, teleporting to right where he was and rammed the Kusanagi through his backside.
Kakashi disappeared into a puff of smoke. His real body came out of hiding, out from behind the trees. Sensing his presence immediately, Orochimaru whirled around, Kusanagi ready to finish him off, but Kakashi blocked its descent with a kunai.
"You need a new body in order to achieve immortality." Kakashi paused, for dramatic effect. "But you're not getting mine."
And then he released his hold on the kunai, ducking as the sharp edge of the sword sliced off a few strands of his hair. Chidori activated in his hand, Kakashi charged at Orochimaru, aiming for his chest. Orochimaru sidestepped, avoiding a full on blow, but scored himself a particularly nasty gash on his side.
The momentum propelled Kakashi forward, stumbling out of Orochimaru's reach, but as Kakashi attempted to regain his balance, Orochimaru's head detached from his body. Neck elongated, mouth wide open baring his sharp teeth, his head flew towards him.
Was this the part where Sasuke got his Cursed Mark?
Kakashi cursed when he realized that Orochimaru was moving too fast for him to dodge. Having no other choice, he released the chakra from his feet, allowing himself to plummet towards the ground.
Orochimaru's head changed its trajectory too upon realizing that he was falling, but Kakashi was already working his way through another jutsu, a jutsu that he copied from adult Sasuke. A stream of lightning emerged from his hand and he maneuvered it into a wide arc, cleanly slicing off his head.
Even as dull, aching pain shot up his backside from the awkward landing, Kakashi had never been more satisfied in his life as he watched Orochimaru's severed head bounce harmless against the grass.
The best part? Watching it go up into flames.
They didn't even have to seek out their victims; their victims came to them. The Sound symbol was plastered proudly on their hitai-ate, seemingly shining mockingly at them. Among the three of them, Naruto was the only one who didn't seem to make the connection between them and Orochimaru. Nonetheless, he was so eager to fight that Naruto charged straight into battle.
Rolling his eyes at Naruto's recklessness, Kakashi and Sakura had no choice but to follow. Luckily, the person he wanted to see had been among this squad.
Kabuto moved to attack Naruto, but Kakashi intercepted him. Having fought him in his previous life, Kakashi was well versed in all of his attacks and as a result, he managed to counter all of his movements with relative ease. Without any dead bodies in the vicinity, the jutsu that caught Kakashi off guard last time couldn't be performed.
And the main source of his strength during the Fourth Great Ninja War came after absorbing Orochimaru, so Kakashi was hardly worried. Kakashi quickly learned that beyond his reanimation jutsus, Kabuto was strictly an offensive medic. In a taunting manner, Kakashi danced just right out of his range, inciting Kabuto's frustration.
"You might want to check up on your master."
Kabuto froze, giving Kakashi the opening he needed to clock him on his left cheek. The force sent his glasses flying across the clearing. With the back of his hand, Kabuto wiped the blood that began to dribble down his chin.
"What are you talking about?"
"Playing dumb, Kabuto? That's not like you."
Kabuto's eyes fell on the base of his neck, squinting to get a better look at his unmarred skin. "And what would you know about me?"
"Everything. For example, you're Orochimaru's lackey. You're here to aid in his mission to obtain my body, but clearly that failed. What are you waiting for? Shouldn't you get going?"
Checking up on his students out of the corner of his eye, Kakashi noted that Naruto had finished his fight and moved to assist Sakura. It looked like it wouldn't be long until they finished either, so it was time to get moving.
"And so what-"
Kakashi didn't hear the rest of the sentence. In a blur of a movement, he flash stepped to Kabuto's side, spinning out of the way to avoid his chakra charged hand before he yanked off his weapons pouch. He didn't slow until he placed considerable distance between them, holding up Kabuto's pouch in the air in a victorious manner.
His hand snuck into the pouch, rummaging past the weapons until his fingers wrapped itself around the scroll. A heaven scroll. Just the scroll they needed.
"Better hurry. Your master is not in a good shape right now."
Kabuto hissed. "What did you do to him?"
Kakashi shrugged. "Why don't you go and find out?"
They were interlocked in a staredown. It was clear that Kabuto was trying to figure out if he was bluffing or not, but with the way Kakashi kept innocently smiling at him, he was certain that Kabuto wasn't able to get a good read on him. His grin grew wider and wider as Kabuto scrunched up his face.
"You'll regret this."
No, he certainly won't.
Right as Naruto delivered the finishing blow to his other teammate, Kabuto turned tail and ran. Kakashi watched him go, snickering to himself as he detected Kabuto's fluctuating chakra levels. He was panicking.
"Oi why did you let him get away?" Naruto demanded. "What about the scroll?"
Kakashi rolled his eyes, chucking the scroll at Naruto. Instead of catching it, the scroll bounced harmlessly against his forehead and into his hands.
"Satisfied?"
Kakashi had already made up his mind that he was going to throw his preliminary match because he couldn't be bothered to pass the exams for his ungrateful student. If Sasuke wanted the rank, then he'd have to work for it himself. The encounter with Orochimaru was his main goal for participating, Kabuto was an added bonus, and now that it was done, Kakashi just wanted to remain unbothered for the next month.
Besides if he advanced to the next round, Kakashi would be forced to "learn" Chidori all over again, just so he didn't raise any red flags. Not that Kakashi sensei and Sakura weren't already suspicious of him, but he had to try. Even if just a little.
And because Kakashi was such a nice and caring person, he would actually put up a little bit of a fight to preserve some of Sasuke's dignity. Only a little bit though because he couldn't be bothered to put in more effort than that.
However when he saw his name and Rock Lee's flashing across the billboard, that plan was quickly scrapped. Inconspicuously eyeing Gai, Kakashi bit back a smile. Although Kakashi would never admit it, he did miss Gai randomly appearing and issuing his challenges. Rock Lee was no Gai, and the spar would be a one-sided challenge, but that was fine.
Kakashi would take what he would get.
When Hayate began the match, Kakashi lunged to meet Lee in the center. Raising his forearm, Kakashi easily blocked Lee's whirlwind kick. Ducking beneath Lee's arm, Kakashi attempted to land a fistful on Lee's stomach, but he twisted his body out of his reach.
The boy was quick, but not as quick as Gai. Still, Kakashi purposely slowed down his speed so that he could savor the enjoyment of fighting a taijutsu master just for a while longer. Like teacher, like student, Kakashi found himself constantly blocking hits coming from his left side and if not for having years and years of Gai doing the exact same thing to him, Kakashi was sure he would have been clobbered.
After continuously failing to break through his defenses, Kakashi sensed Lee's irritation was on the rise. If he was as predictable as his sensei, then undoubtedly, Lee would soon open one or more of his gates. It would be too problematic if Kakashi allowed that to happen.
Backflipping three times to increase the distance between the two of them, he stood in a half crouching position. Right hand raised, Kakashi pushed up his headband, expecting the clarity in his vision to flood in.
It didn't.
By the time it finally hit him that he actually had to activate his Sharingan to use it, Kakashi had just begun to scramble to turn it on - how did Uchihas remember to do this? - right as Lee streaked across the arena as a blur of green and landed a nice kick on his left cheek. A nice crack sounded in his ears as blackness exploded in his vision.
Right as his back slammed against the wall, Kakashi escaped underground while leaving a clone in his stead. Still momentarily disoriented from the impact, he took a few seconds to breathe. Keeping tabs on everyone's chakra signature, Kakashi tenderly poked at his throbbing cheek. He hissed.
A nice sized bruise was due on his cheek tomorrow, but Kakashi didn't have time to ponder over it any further as he felt Hayate approaching the place where he abandoned his clone.
Hayate would end the match if Kakashi didn't do something.
The sense of urgency pushed him to move. Despite the black dots dancing around in his vision, his fingers flew through the sealing sequence. As he finished, his hand, with a little help of a small lightning jutsu, broke through the arena floor. Wrapping his fingers around Lee's ankle, Kakashi pulled.
Hearing the yelp was surprisingly more satisfying than he thought.
Sharingan turned on, this time doing it the proper way, Kakashi readied himself for a serious fight. The force from the sudden burst of chakra from opening two gates knocked him off balance for a moment, but Kakashi managed to right his footing just in time to register Lee charging at him.
Exhilarating. That was the only word Kakashi could use to describe the fight. It had been so long since he experienced such an adrenaline inducing fight that he almost didn't want it to end. However, the longer that he dragged out the fight, the more likely Lee would win. Stamina had always been his weakness.
And like hell was Kakashi going to let any version of Gai, even in the form of his protege, win a challenge purposely.
A/N: Hi again!
2nd to last chapter, so feel free to leave any questions you have and I'll be sure to answer in the next! Kind of sad that this story is ending, but it was supposed to be a one shot...and it ended up way longer than that so I think it had a pretty good run. Interested to hear which moments you thought were the funniest (scenes in previous chapters apply!)
I got a comment asking when "we could get back to the actual story instead of these 'fillers'" and I felt the need to clarify something:
a) I never treated these chapters like a filler. I figured it would be quite interesting to see Kakashi's POV while he was stuck in Sasuke's body. I can see that it might seem like a recap, but I did try to add new scenes and briefly skim over the scenes that I previously covered in depth. If that's not what you're here for, feel free to click the back button instead of complaining.
b) This is a crack story - there was never meant to be a plotline, but rather a series of scenes loosely tied together by the circumstances. If by the "actual story" you mean the first 4 chapters, then you can treat it as ending at 4 and Hokage Kakashi goes back to his own time. These last 4 chapters are simply an extension of my imagination; otherwise, it would have ended at 4.
c) My story, my vision. If that's not what you wanted, I encourage you to go write your own.
Thanks for reading! Until next time. :)
