Hatake Kakashi, also known as Copy Ninja Kakashi and Kakashi of the Sharingan, stood before a black stone with the Konoha symbol above many, many names. His eye drifted from one name to another; Uchiha Obito. Namikaze Minato. Uzumaki Kushina. Nohara Rin. Sarutobi Hiruzen. And… a final name made itself known in his mind, impressed in his vision over an empty space on the stone.

Hatake Sakumo.

Father… I'm sorry I never said that I am actually proud of you. I wish I could tell you now… He thought as he continued to stare at the stone, but if one looks at his eye it is as if he is seeing past it, into a time long since passed… Indeed, as he continued to look at the stone, he thought of this lifetime and one before this existence. With those thoughts, a few more names placed themselves on the stone after his father's;

Lily Potter nee Evans

James Potter

Cedric Diggory

Harry James Potter…

A tribute to times that should have been let go of, but he never was one to forget the past and let it lie. Faces of those he left behind and those that left him behind flashed through his mind, as clear as the first day he saw them.

Hermione… Ron… Sirius… Rin… Obito… Sensei… Hokage-sama… Kushina… His regrets went on, but a presence making itself known behind him withdrew him from his depressing thoughts.

"Ya know, you're going to age faster if you keep up this sort of attitude. In fact, I'm surprised that you haven't gone through a mid-life crisis yet."

His single visible eye crinkled up into an upside-down 'u', indicating that he was smiling.

"Saa, saa… isn't that something to be proud of? And I'm not forty yet, so it's a bit early for that, don't you think?"

"You were acting like a 30-year-old war commander when you were eleven. And then at the fine age of 27, you acted like a 9 year-old with mood swings. Just in case I haven't told you before, you seriously have a lot of problems. Are you sure we don't need you on meds and antidepressants?" A lazy drawl, hinting at sardonic humour and sarcasm.

"Yes, but as Gai would say, I have a 'hip and cool' attitude and it would be very unyouthful of me to do so, seeing as I am so youthful."

"… Are you seriously telling me that you take what Gai says seriously? We are talking about a man that wears bright green spandex, and has the hugest eyebrows I've ever seen."

"… Touché…"

"Yeah, that's what I thought so."

Finally turning so he could face the speaker, he was greeted with the sight of Yukinaru.(A/N. read the first chapter of my story 'Just Promote Me Already' to get a sort of background on this person)

"Yo, Yuki."

She lifted a delicate eyebrow.

"Kakashi. Funny how we actually greet each other after we've finished an entire discussion, huh?"

"Ahahaha… yeah I guess."

"Now that that's done, you've probably noticed this already, but there's an ANBU behind you."

Kakashi simply turned to stare at the stone. Again. Yuki made a vague sound of annoyance from the back of her throat.

"Maa… ANBU-san, is there anything you need from me?" Kakashi said, not even turning around.

"Hai," The ANBU replied, their voice distorted by a seal on the white porcelain mask. "Godaime-sama wishes to speak to you, now."

Kakashi sighed and turned his face up to the sky.

"Hai… Tell her I'll be right there." He answered.

The ANBU nodded, not that he could see it and then vanished via shunshin. Kakashi bowed his head one more time, eye shut with a quick prayer to guide the souls that left and the ones left behind before shunshining himself. He didn't bother looking to check if Yuki followed him or not. He was positive that either way, invited or not, she would follow him. Even if they had locked her out, she would blow a hole in the wall and claim that it was 'in my way.' Then she would walk over to the couch and promptly claim it as hers, all the while ignoring the stare of Tsunade and anybody else who happened to be in the room

A couple minutes later, he entered the Hokage's office through the window, ducking just in time to avoid a sake cup thrown at where his head had been. In reply he eye-smiled at the woman at the desk, Senju Tsunade the Godaime.

"Maa… You wished to see me?" He said, heading to the other side of the large wooden desk across from her.

Tsunade sighed and rubbed the bridge of her nose, knowing no matter what she said her more eccentric shinobi would never use the door like a normal person. Turning serious and consequently causing Kakashi to straighten up and turn serious himself, she leaned forward on the desk, folding her hands together.

"Hai." She replied, "There have been strange chakra spikes appearing and vanishing all over Konoha. We have reports from other villages saying the same only theirs vanished before moving onto the next village until finally they reached here. I need you to grab your other outfit and a team to search for what is causing this. The other villages have their own ANBU searching as well."

"It is all rather strange… eh Kakashi? You up for the job again? I mean, you'll be in ANBU again under my command, but you do know that ANBU stay with you forever, ne?"

"Aa… I'm well aware of that."

Turning to Tsunade, Kakashi nodded and caught the white and red porcelain dog mask she threw him. Or he would have if he hadn't stumbled.

Shakily he raised a hand to his face as nausea and black spots in his vision assaulted him. Crashing into the desk as it got worse and his heart beat grew louder and louder in his ears drowning out Tsunade as she cried his name in concern. He fell to the floor and black almost completely filled his vision. His last view of his world was Tsunade leaning over him, her mouth moving as she called for help and tried to find out what was happening to him. Then, all of his senses shut down, leaving him to unconsciousness.

Tsunade was panicking, Kakashi had been standing before her desk when she tossed him his ANBU mask only for him to suddenly stiffen mid-reach and his eyes grow unfocused as a strange foreign chakra flared precisely where he was standing. His arm reached for his face and his other to reach out for her desk to steady himself as he stumbled only to miss and fall to the ground, crashing into her desk sending paper flying into the air.

"Kakashi!" She cried, jumping over her desk to see if he was alright and find out what happened. She gathered him into the crook of her arm and covered her free arm with green healing chakra to diagnose him. His single eye was unfocused but she could see him struggle to stay conscious as he shuddered and his temperature skyrocketed from what she could tell through his clothing. "C'mon Kakashi! Stay with me!" As his eye began to flutter and slide closed, she cursed and shouted, "Curse it all! Get the healers in here!"

Another thump resounded throughout the room. Tsunade's head snapped around to the source of the sound.

Yukinaru.

She had collapsed, clutching her abdomen in what seemed to be pain, faint whimpers sounding from her lips.

"Yuki!"

She spun around again, this time dragging Yuki's limp body with her until she had her laid side by side with Kakashi. Moving to him, the distinguishable green of healing chakra glowing around her hands, she started a diagnostic jutsu.

Alas, it was too late.

As his shudders subsided just as quickly as they came when he finally passed out, something she thought was impossible happened. Kakashi's body began to fade away. Her eyes widened in surprise. Eyes moving from Kakashi to Yuki, she observed an identical phenomenon occur, feeling more and more helpless as the outlines of their bodies got fainter and fainter.

"No! Kakashi! Yuki! Damn it! What's going on here?" She cried, clutching them closer to her until finally, they vanished completely.

In an unknown place filled with smoky darkness, Kakashi blinked his eye as his awareness returned. He looked around, seeing nothing but darkness and realized that he was floating. Twisting his body, he began to float in a slight battle ready position. His eye scanned the darkness, seeing nothing and feeling it best he reached up to pull up his headband to reveal the Sharingan.

"Kakashi?"

"Yuki? Is that you?"

"Aa… where are we-"

Kakashi slapped a hand over her mouth. His eyes narrowed, hand moving into the tiger seal, ready to start a hand sign sequence for a jutsu at any moment.

"There is no need for that…" Came a voice, echoing in the darkness. "You are merely in the between of worlds."

Kakashi's eye narrowed.

"And why am I here? I thought I was going to stay in that other world as my 'reward'". He replied with forced nonchalance.

"Ah, so you remember me." The voice replied. He could almost hear their amused smirk. "You are here because many in your old world do not believe that your job is done. I am afraid that I can not block them for long; Magic has no choice but to pull you from there to here as she has been commanded to. However, there is nothing saying that you can not find a way back home. I have also deemed it necessary to give you all you need from your world. Magic has agreed to help with this." A sparkle appeared before him, shaping itself into a ninja pouch. "This pouch holds all your weapons and some personal items and scrolls from your home with an undetectable extension charm, feather light charm, and was made so only you could access it. As you can see, you dear friend will be allowed to accompany you, seeing as she was originally an occupant of that world. Also, it has only been a few months since you left their world. It is July 31st. This is all I can do for you."

"Maa, I guess there's nothing to it." Kakashi replied, relaxing his stance and grabbing the pouch to place on his belt next to his other pouches, at the same time removing his hand from Yuki's mouth. At her questioning look, he gave her a look that said, 'I'll explain later',

"Will my ninken be able to at least move between the worlds? I may need them to pass on messages."

"Yes, that shall be granted to you. Good luck Hatake Kakashi, once known as Harry James Potter…"With that, the voice faded away and a purple summoning circle spread out from beneath his feet, pulling him into a world he had hoped to leave behind…

XXXXXXXXX

Huehuehuehue… another chapter is out! This is basically the original chapter with a whole bunch of stuff added in. Also, a lot of you are probably wondering, who is Yuki? Well, first of all, no, she's not an OC in the Harry Potter universe. The story to why she is in the Naruto world will most likely be told in the next chapter. Just so you know, not all updates will be this fast as for some reason there is a distinct lack of homework for me, so more free time= more fanfic writing.

Alright- here's a little incentive for you, a competition of sorts if you will. I'm going to give you some time for this, so hurry! Here is the question-

Who is Yuki?

First person to get it right will get a little side-fic for them. I'll contact you if you are the winner, and you can tell me what you want your sidefic to be about. It can even be a one-shot.

Plez R&R, PM me if you want( I'm always trying to make friends) and do inform me of any grammar mistakes! Still self-beta'd, searching for a beta, anyone? Reviews are like cookies 'n' cream icecream to a girl on her period- heaven.
