Chapter 3 - Flashlights and Uchiha

It was a beautiful day in Konohagakure no Sato.

On days off after a tiring mission, Tenzou loved wandering around in the village. His feet would just take him somewhere, and there was no destination, just walking. He liked watching both people and nature, and perhaps his feet would lead him to the park today.
Perhaps.

Genma would probably be out buying a bouquet of flowers to apologize to some female who broke up with him after he stayed away for too long, and Raido might be sparring, trying out his fire-jutsu again. Kakashi-senpai would probably be at the memorial, or hang out with the strange, green-clad chuunin with bowl-cut hair and huge eyebrows, like usual.
Tenzou grinned at the thought of Kakashi's bothered look when Guy – was that his name? – ran around the corner when they arrived at the gates. It served the captain well for letting Tenzou do all the work after sweet talking him into it.

The Third had been very pleased with the outcome of their mission, and granted the hard-working team a week's rest before they would receive a new mission. If the Hokage followed the usual protocol without being gracious, they would be send on a new mission tomorrow, since Genma's injury wasn't much of a problem. But now they had the week off, and Tenzou was glad the mission paid well – he even had some money left to spend on useless stuff.
Maybe he could buy himself a nice scarf, like the red one senpai owned.
With this in mind, his feet brought him to a nearby store – how he knew where it was, Tenzou did not know, maybe it had something to do with the First Hokage's DNA, but he wasn't too sure of that.

His eyes fell on a woolly dark-green scarf. It would keep him warm on a cold day, and it would look good on him too, the shopkeeper said to him. When the wood-user was about to buy the green garment, he saw a nice, shiny-looking flashlight for sale. On impulse, he bought the flashlight instead, not entirely sure why, but incredibly pleased with himself.

"Have a nice day!" Tenzou said to the shopkeeper, and he left the shop. He twirled his new purchase around, like he usually did with a kunai.

As he walked around the corner, he saw Genma walking with another pretty woman, trying to woo her with his charms.
A devious plan formed in Tenzou's head, and he quickly hid himself behind a tree, waiting for the couple to pass by.
When Genma and his 'lady of interest' walked by, Tenzou came out from behind the tree, flashlight on and held beneath his chin. He gave Genma the most scary look he could muster, and watched how the Special-chuunin jumped up and yelped in fear.
The woman stared at Tenzou before starting to run as fast as she could, screaming something about Kodama's.

"Geez, Tenzou? Really?" Genma said as he realized it was his teammate with a flashlight in his hand.
The younger man grinned, "Gotcha." He switched his new toy off, and felt extremely courageous today, "Why don't we go and find Raido? He might like a little surprise?"

A grin split Genma's face, and he completely forgot about his future date, "Yeah, why don't we? Let's go."
This ordeal didn't end very well, and Raido tried to burn them with the jutsu he was experimenting with. In the end, none of them got hurt, and the trio decided to scare their captain shitless – that would be an amazing sight, since Kakashi showed as much emotion as a teaspoon. Which meant, none. Except when on the battlefield that its.

The team minus one were already enjoying themselves, and extended their senses to find the Hatake. Raido even activated some of the chakra-sensors in the village to find the elusive captain, who was most likely on the run for Maito Gai – so that was the name of the green-clad chuunin – and not easy to find.
"I got a signal!" Raido practically shouted, "He's near the shrine!" Not wasting any time, the three Special-chuunin teleported away, eager to find their team leader.

"I don't see why we should leave dirt like you walk around on the streets. You're contaminating the village – we do not need scum like you here."

"As far as I can see, Hokage-sama is trying to keep me around. Your sources must be wrong, Uchiha-san."

Kakashi was not intimidated at all. Two Uchiha of the Police-force were trying to corner him, and were unsuccessful. The insults didn't hurt that much anymore, he'd gotten used to it by now. Of course, he understood their need to blame someone (Like he blamed himself too)but he heard enough whispers when he was around, and didn't feel up for a confrontation today.

A single white lily in his hand was meant for the grave of the friends he'd lost, to apologize for being gone for so long.

And the two Uchiha were in his way.

The tallest Uchiha – who Kakashi dubbed as Spike in his head, because the Uchiha had very, very spiky hair – activated his Sharigan and glared at the silver-haired man.
Kakashi was still not intimidated. He saw a Sharigan spinning in its socket every time looked in the mirror.
Glaring at people was one of his own specialities as well, one he tried not to use as often anymore, and the Hatake mused if he could out-glare an Uchiha.

'Spike' was glaring even more vicious, and the shorter Uchiha, who had a huge collar that almost obscured his face, was grimacing in silent – but quite obvious – anger. Kakashi wondered if 'Collar' would be a nice nickname. 'Collar' and 'Spike' – it almost sounded dog-like.
How funny.

"How dare you!" 'Collar' growled (it was getting hilarious now), "How dare you to ignore an Uchiha!"

Kakashi snapped back into reality, "Ah? Where you saying something?"

Both Uchiha were glaring, Sharingans blazing.

The silver-haired man knew it wasn't a good idea to challenge them like this, but he couldn't stop himself. He didn't want a confrontation, but he wouldn't go down without at least a little of a fight. Metaphorically speaking, of course, because if the Uchiha would attack him, he'd probably avoid them and teleport home, where they couldn't follow him.
He didn't want to meet Uchiha Fugaku, the head of the clan, again.

"You trash." 'Spike' spat, "You should've died, go and follow your coward of a father, disgrace."
Maybe that stung a little, and Kakashi decided he had enough fun today.

With a semi-smile (it was not like the dark-haired men could see underneath his masks with those red eyes) Kakashi clapped in his hands, the flower bending slightly, and said in a chipper voice, "Well, it was nice meeting you today, but you've wasted enough of my time. See ya." The Anbu-captain teleported past the glaring cousins and resumed his walk to the memorial.

It didn't exactly go as planned, but he managed to piss off two Police-force members without getting some kind of penalty. That had to count as something, right?

When Kakashi felt a twig hit his head, he sighed. The Uchiha weren't done with him yet, and had resorted to more childish ways of making their dislike of him known.

The Hatake turned around, and caught a small rock before it hit him. With the help of a small amount of chakra, he pulverized the stone and let the wind blow away the dust from his hand, "You wanted to say more?"

'Collar' seemed intimidated, but 'Spike' not so very much. The taller Uchiha bared his teeth, like a real dog would do before attacking, and Kakashi didn't feel up for more trouble. 'Spike' charged at him before the silver-haired man could hold up his hands in the universal gesture of 'peace'.
His attacker threw a punch at him, and Kakashi tried to block it. The Uchiha saw the movement coming with his Sharingan, and changed direction from his face to his stomach.
Kakashi tried not to double over from the impact, and grabbed 'Spike's' arm instead. He twisted the limb and held it in a wrist lock.
It was a technique Obito'd always tried to use against him, but it had never worked. Kakashi then found a way to utilize it, and a writhing Uchiha on the ground, unable to move without feeling like his wrist would be torn off, was the result.

Kakashi smiled down at his opponent. He looked up at 'Collar' who was too stunned to react, and he threw the white lily towards him, "Catch."
The Uchiha caught it clumsily.
Kakashi released 'Spike's' wrist, and the spiky-haired man fell on his knees, cradling his abused arm. Kakashi's lone eye curved up in an arc, and he saluted for the two cousins, "Send your family my regards. See ya."
When 'Spike' looked up, the silver-haired man had already vanished in a cloud of leaves and smoke.

Tenzou, Raido and Genma didn't pay any attention to the very tousled-looking Uchiha as they passed by.
"He's gone already!" Raido said when they finally arrived at the shrine, "He hasn't even been in here!"

"Maybe he used a Shadow-clone to avoid someone?" Tenzou tried, "Perhaps he used it as a bait to lure Gai away from the real him?"

The others nodded, and they left the shrine, unhappy with their unfinished prank.

A/N: Hello those who may concern it, I hope you enjoyed reading the story so far. I decided to try writing Kakashi's point of view, but I found myself very troubled with it... I really hope it's not OOC... I hope this chapter was at least something near a good read and that I did not wast too much of your time as well.
Anyway, to everyone who reviewed ch. 2 - Thank you so very much for your kind words! I will reply to all of you, but at the moment I'm a little busy... But the answers will come fast, I promise!

Thank you for reading!
