I can tell this one's gonna be longer than the first...
Kakashi woke up to a flash.
"Got the picture mom!" Teri ran over to her mother waving the photograph of Kakashi.
"Good, now tape it to some paper and you know what to write."
"Yes ma'am!" Teri ran to the kitchen and opened the drawer under her stove. "Mom, we don't have any paper!"
"Oh, well, how many pictures can we take?"
"Um…I think the box said we can take thirty pictures."
"Can I trust you to take thirty good pictures of Red?" Suji came out of the bedroom with a white summer dress on.
"Of course!" Teri hopped on the couch making Kakashi bounce.
Whoa, hey I just woke up!
"I'm gonna take some glamour shots of you Red so smile and look handsome." Teri giggled.
Wha- pictures? Of me…why?
"As much as I love you Red, there may be some other little girl lonelier than me who lost you, and so we're going to pass out your photograph in the village, and maybe she'll find you!" Teri started to play photo shoot with Kakashi, making sure she only took quality photos. Once done she spread them out on the table. Kakashi put his two front paws on the edge and peered at her work.
Do you have to show people that one? I look kind of fat…wait, you can't show pictures around! That means Sakura and Tsunade will find me. But Kakashi couldn't do anything to distract the little girl from bundling up the portfolio and sticking them in her pocket.
"Ready to go Teri?" Suji grabbed her basket for fresh fruit and vegetables and her house keys.
"Yes, mommy, I got some good ones!" Teri took out her favorite and showed it to her mother.
"Oh, how adorable…hm…Red looks like he ate a lot the night before in that one." Suji smiled.
"No, mom, don't insult him!" Teri held a finger to her lips.
"Oh come on, you know cats can't understand a single word we say…"
Oh yeah? Kakashi thought to himself as he curled back up on the couch.
"But Red can talk!"
"Teri," Suji sighed. "Your imagination is wild. Come on, let's go…I like this picture of Red a lot too. Who doesn't love a fat cat?"
Teri blushed. "Bye Red! Don't get into any trouble while we're gone!"
I really hope nobody I know gets that picture… As soon as the door closed behind the mother daughter team, Kakashi went to the middle of the kitchen floor. Alright, now there has to be a reasonable explanation for why this happened…it could be because of my sharingan being uncovered for so long…no…that doesn't explain anything. Maybe I mis-gestured a hand sign, that's impossible too. I've performed transformation too many times in my life to get the hand signs wrong. Okay, how did you feel when it first happened? Kakashi thought back, but could only come up with him being tired. I should have stayed with Sakura and gone to see Tsunade. Kakashi you can be such an idiot!
Kakashi looked up at the clock ticking away. It was silent in the house. Nothing he wasn't used to, but he preferred this silence better. The air contained some signs of life other than himself, and it was comforting. He decided to meditate…concentrating his chakra to his head he thought that this might give him an idea, but alas! It didn't…so he just evenly distributed his chakra to his body again.
He felt a lurch, and a rush of power, and then nothing.
"Wow that was strange," he said to himself.
Kakashi lay down on the cool floor and closed his eyes.
"Hold on, I just meow!" I just spoke! He tried to talk again. "My name is Kakasheee…" he rambled off. "Meow," Darn it, now I can't talk again. He started to connect the rush he felt and him talking. It was like that boost of energy gave me the power to speak, which means my vocal chords had to change from a cat to a human's…which means, my chakra flow is irregular not allowing me to transform again. I have to tell Tsunade.
Kakashi tried to open the front door, but it was locked. He jumped up to the window and tried to manipulate it open, but still, no luck. I'm stuck in here! Unless… Kakashi looked over at the fireplace. Walking so that he was under the chimney, he saw a hole just big enough for a cat to fit through. Do I dare try it? Do my ninja skills still function as a cat?
He concentrated chakra to his four paws, easier said than done, and outstretched his right front paw out. It stuck; he tried the other, success! Soon he was climbing the chimney. It's a good thing I'm not claustrophobic… As if the chimney was listening, the hole instantly became smaller, squishing Kakashi so he couldn't budge. Crap! He had the sudden urge to go to the bathroom. This isn't good.
"Excuse me; have you seen a black cat with one red and one yellow eye?" Sakura asked the vegetable stand lady.
"No dear, I haven't."
"Okay, thank you." Sakura ran past the Ichiraku Ramen shop. The old man looked up to see her run past. Coming out from behind the counter he called for her.
"Hey, miss!"
Sakura turned around. "Oh, it's you sir," she ran over to meet him.
"Are you still looking for that cat?"
"Yes, have you seen him?" Her eyes lit up.
"No, but apparently, these people have," he handed her a photo of Kakashi. "It was a mother and daughter. The little girl is about six, she has pigtails, and her mother, Suji I think her name is, is wearing a white dress."
"Say, which way did they go?"
"Down the way you're headed." He pointed.
"Thank you so much, may I keep this picture?"
"Go ahead dear."
"Thank you!" Sakura dashed off towards the busy streets.
"Aha! I found him!" Gai held up a black frustrated cat to his face and gave a happy thumb up.
"Gai," Shizune sighed, "That's not him."
"Oh uh," Gai laughed. "Sorry cat!"
The cat hissed and scuttled off to nowhere. "Nice try Gai," Shizune walked into the drug store to ask the woman behind the counter.
"Kakashi you fool…" Gai scuffed his feet.
"Any luck?" Tsunade came from a dark alleyway.
"No, how about you?" Gai stared at the dirt clouding around his feet.
"Nope…"
"Say, how did you cure Kakashi in the first place?" Gai asked.
"The medicine I gave him is supposed to help the balance of chakra. I guess it worked then, but it might not work again. If this is the case, I don't know what I'll do," Tsunade shifted her weight from one foot to the other. "If the medicine does work, he'll need a more potent formula and a full medical examination so we can pinpoint the source of the imbalance."
Gai smirked. "Oh that Kakashi, my rival will push through."
"Did she see him?" Tsunade asked Shizune passing through the jingling bells.
"No," Shizune shrugged.
"Tsunade, Shizune, Gai!" Sakura came running up the street half skipping with joy. After three hours of search and ask, Sakura had finally gotten a clue as to the whereabouts of Kakashi the cat.
