This was the part where Naru would wake up and look at him and start screaming and going into hysterics. This was the part where she would scream that she hated him and tell him that he was trash and seal his fate.

That was what he expected.

He didn't however exprect her to say, "Mornin Kashi-sensi... Did I sleep in again?"

Kakashi gaped at her and shook his head as if to clear it before managing to croak out an unintelligible, "W-Wha?" As Naru slowly pushed herself up in bed, letting the covers slip from around her shoulders to pool around her waist as she rubbed her eyes again.

"I said, did I sleep in again?" Naru asked as she looked around the room and frowned before asking, "Where are we?"

Kakashi shook his head again and continued to gape. He couldn't help himself. He was sure that his ears and eyes were playing tricks on him. Naru was supposed to be yelling at him. Was supposed to be hysterical. Was supposed to absolutely hate him.

Yet she wasn't yelling. Wasn't hysterical. Didn't seem to hate him.

What the hell was going on here? He wondered as he looked around the room. His shinobi paranoia kicking in.

The situation no longer made sense to him. There was supposed to be yelling and screaming; he'd expected yelling and screaming. Was he dead? He wondered all of a sudden, painc rising in his chest.

Had he cut too deeply the night before and bled to death and somehow ended up in a hell of his own making? A hell where Naru had suffered at his hand and still didn't hate him. Or had he finally come unhinged?

Gone stark raving mad?

He felt a soft touch on his unwounded arm and jerked, his head tilting so that he was looking down a little bit and blinked his wide mismatched eyes as Naru's worried face filled his vision. "Kakashi-sensei are you okay?"

"Y-Yes." No. Definitely not.

There was a chance that he was either dead or insane. What person would be okay under those conditions? He wondered as Naru dropped her hand away from his arm and gave him another worried look.

Kakashi bit his bottom lip in an effort not to whimper. Don't look at me like that. Don't look at me like I'm still worthy of your affections, Naru. She had no idea how much she was hurting him by pretending to still care about him after what he'd done.

Naru studied her former sensei with a concerned look on her pretty face. She didn't know what was up with Kakashi, but the man looked like he'd just had a run in with a ghost. It was troubling to say the least.

She sighed and looked down and blinked at what she was wearing. What the- Where the heck did this dress come from? And what was she doing wearing it? She looked up at Kakashi whom hadn't moved or even breathed in the past minute or so and frowned. "Hey sensei. Are we on a mission?"

Kakashi didn't answer her. He just continued to stare at her.

Naru made an irritated sound and reached out and pushed against his chest to get his attention and yelped when he smacked her hand away from him then snapped at her. "Don't fucking touch me Naru!"

Naru rubbed the stinging spot on the back of her hand and frowned. "Alright, alright. I won't touch you. But you should at least answer me."

Kakashi frowned as he looked at her, his mind not quite running on all four cylinders yet. "What was the question?" Kakashi asked after a moment or so of hesitation. Naru gave him a funny look.

"I asked if we were on a mission."

"No."

"Then what happened to my normal clothes?"

Kakashi was quiet for a second. "T-They were stolen." Naru gave him a funny look.

"Stolen?" Kakashi nodded his head slowly.

"By who?" Naru asked after a second or so. Kakashi shrugged his shoulders helplessly. God he never should have opened his mouth, Naru was looking at him like he was crazy. He bit back a hysterical giggle as his mind whispered. That's because you are crazy.

"Some naked guy I guess."

Naru gave him a look. One of those 'uh-huh' looks with a side of 'I totally believe you'. The kind that made him feel old and nervous at the same time. She didn't ask any more questions about her clothes, and instead asked about breakfast since she hadn't eaten in the past few days Kakashi figured that breakfast was a much safer topic to argue about.

Although it didn't stop him from pinching himself repeatedly once her back was turned.
