The second that he was able to move again, Kakashi quickly got to his feet and moved away from Naru. The blasted girl had been driving him mad for the past hour by playing with his hair. And while playing with his hair in general should have been comforting and relaxing, it hadn't been doing anything for him aside from making him twitch uncontrollably out of discomfort.

After all, prolonged physical contact with her dredged up painful memories.

So of course the absolute second he was able to move again, the first thing he did was bound across the room.

Far from her reach and leave her to work out any muscle cramps and kinks on her own. While he checked out his Sharingan eye in the bathroom mirror and maybe make sure that there was nothing else odd going on with his appearance.

He closed the door and flicked on the light so that he could see better and blinked at his own reflection.

He'd always hated looking in the mirror when he was younger. Had hated everything about his physical charcteristics when he'd been growing up due to the fact that he looked so much like his father. He had the same pale skin, silvery white hair with platinum and pale ash blond highlights, the same square shaped jaw, high cheekbones and exotically- he hated to say it but- fallen angel beauty.

He sub consciously peeled his lips back from his teeth in a silent snarl. God he hated refering to himself as beautiful. It was such a girly discription. Yet he couldn't deny that this is what he looked like. As annoying as it may be-

He looked himself over for a second, frowning at the disheveled and wild haired, otherworldly creature staring back at him in disbelief. Was that person staring back at him, really him? He didn't look anything like the Kakashi Hatake that he had known himself as for so long. And if not for the fact that his eyes were still mismatched, he would have thought he was being pranked or something.

Sure enough his Sharingan was missing-er sort of. The once scarlet was now a deep, vivid emerald green. He leaned forward a little bit and squinted as he examined the bizarre color and noted absently that subtly mixed with the emerald green were little rings of teal.

It was gorgeous really.

The startling green/teal standing out just like his dark blue. Both fitting his features to perfection. The scar over his left eye was thinner, shallower looking and didn't run half way down his cheek like it had before. It still trailed from just above his eye brow, and along his eye lid. But it stopped just shy of his cheek. His hair looked a little bit longer, the back of his hair falling almost to his shoulders.

He looked over his body as closely as he could, noting weird little markings and such where he found them and quickly dismissing a majority of them as something that he'd had before the deal with Kyubbi. All in all once he was done, he hadn't found all that much of himself that was different.

Sure he'd discovered the hand sized marking over his Anbu tattoo that looked suspiciously like a seal of some sort. But other than those few things, he still looked normal. Or rather as normal as he could look considering certain circumstances.

He sensed Naru's presence outside the door and said in a slightly amused tone. "Are you trying to listen to me taking a piss?"

Naru made a muffled sound on the other side of the door but didn't move away until he turned on the tap so that it would sound like he was peeing and said half jokingly, "My, my, I didn't realize what a perv I was spending time with. I'll have to keep my guard up-" He slipped one of his shoes off and used his toes to toss it at the door.

It hit with a thud and Naru made a startled sound and moved away from the door at last and he sighed in relief and turned the tap off and reached over to flush the toilet knowing that by the time he left the bathroom she'd really be thinking that she was listening to him tinkle. He collected his discarded shoe and then glanced at himself in the mirror one last time and slipped it on before stepping out.

Naru was standing all the way across the room pretending to look out the window. She turned her head to look at him over her shoulder and he gave her a narrow eyed look and said teasingly, "Pervert." Naru flushed and abruptly looked away, apprently going to pretend that she hadn't heard him as he went over to his pack and squatted down and rummaged through it to find a new mask and silently slipped it on.

"How much longer until they get here?" Naru asked after several moments of silence. Her voice softer than usual, causing Kakashi to have to strain a bit to hear it. He sighed and finished rustling through his things and stood up and walked across the room, coming up behind her, yet didn't touch her.

He saw her face reflected in the glass and frowned again. God, she still looked sick. What the hell was up with that? Did it have something to do with the Kyubbi? Or was it something else? He wondered as he hesitantly reached out and grasped one of her arms in his hand, earning a curious look from over her shoulder. "They should be here soon-" He finally said before asking. "Are you feeling okay?"

She gave him a small smile. "Tired."

Still? Kakashi thought worriedly as he carefully maneuvered her away from the window and back towards the bed. "Why don't you lay down again and rest some more. I'll let you know when they get here."

"I don't really want too-"

"You said yourself that you were still tired."

"I am. Jesus, it feels so hard to stay awake. My eyes are burning like crazy and my body feels more sluggish than usual..."

"Maybe your coming down with a cold." Kakashi said in a hopeful tone as he helped Naru onto the bed and watched her with another frown as she simply collapsed onto the bed and didn't move again making the copy nin think, Hn. Then again, maybe not.
