Naru slipped into Kakashi's bathroom cautiously, as if expecting the room to somehow come alive and eat her or something. But surprisingly it was nothing like she had expected it to be for a confirmed bachelor. For one thing it was clean. There was no hair in the drains, no mold growing on the walls, no clothes lying strewn about the room.
She flicked on the lights and blinked several times when the light reflected off of the blue tiles running along the wall around the room, temporarily blinding her. She flicked off the lights and looked around again, allowing her eyes to adjust to the darkness as she set her borrowed shirt and towle on the sink counter and started stripping.
She hung her hoody on the door knob then pulled off her shirt and slipped off her bra and set it on the counter next to Kakashi's shirt then ditched her shoes and pants and debated for a moment or so on what to do with her panties. She wasn't so sure she'd feel comfortable running about without them on, even if her butt would be covered by Kakashi's shirt.
It still felt a mite wrong to her.
So after several minutes of silent debate with herself she slipped her panties off and was about to put them next to her bra when she heard a knock at the door and jumped at the sudden noise as Kakashi said from outside of the bathroom. "Sorry for starttling you but I managed to borrow a pair of...uh...unmentionables from one of my female neighbors. She said that you could use them if you wanted, but you didn't have too if you felt weird about it. I'll leave them hanging on the door knob out here and let you get back to whatever your doing."
He fell silent. And Naru wasn't sure but she could almost swear that she could sense him blushing as he walked away from the room, leaving her alone again. She showered quickly, taking just enough time to wash her hair while feeling just a little bit paranoid about Kakashi's presence skulking about the apartment and dried herself and dressed just as quickly.
Before cleaning up the little mess that she had made when she had dripped on his floor and grabbed her dirty clothes and tied themstogether so that she wouldn't lose them and carried them out of the room with her, tucked under her arm like a ball and set them in the little corner next to Kakashi's dresser where they would be less likely to be seen or tripped over and then made her way over to his bed and sat down and tried to think of what to do now.
She was clean and dressed, but she wasn't the least bit tired yet since one of the things that she had changed up after her transformation was her sleeping habits. She often times went without sleep for ten days and nights at a time before she crashed. And even when she finally wound down enough to sleep again, she only slept for two or three hours.
She sat there for another ten minutes or so as she calculated how many days it had been since she'd slept. Counting to eight she figured that if nothing else she might be able to give off the illusion of sleep so that Kakashi wouldn't worry about her.
She was lost in her thoughts when Kakashi peeked into the room and saw her sitting on his bed with her long damp hair sticking up in all directions around her face and shoulders, her head bowed, her hands folded neatly in her lap. Good grief. The girl was a mess and she didn't seem the least bit bothered by that fact.
"Naru?" Kakashi said her name softly. Almost too softly to be heard yet he noticed that her head snapped up and turned in his direction. Her vermilion red eyes staring at him curiously.
"Is something wrong wolfy?"
"Aside from the fact that your still calling me wolfy...no nothing. I was just coming to check on you. Do you need anything before I call it a night? Food? Something to drink? A brush maybe?"
"No thanks. I'm fine." Naru said politely as she turned her head back to the front again and lowered her eyes to the floor in that peculiar new habit of hers that Kakashi was beginning to suspect was going to drive him mad as he nodded his head.
"Okay then. Night Naru." Kakashi said as he backed out of the room and started to close the door when he heard her say very softly, her tone laced with affection.
"Night wolfy."

Kakashi woke up the next morning to find himself in the apartment alone after finding his shirt neatly folded and laid on his bed that looked like it was never even slept in. With a note from Naru that was un readable because her handwriting was just...horrible. Honestly how was he supposed to read this? At most all he could do was imagine what the blasted note said.
And the first thing that crossed his semi awake mind was; Hn, Naru's probably good and lost by now. Before heading off to the bathroom to shave while he could before he got dressed and headed out to find Naru.
(*******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************)
Naru sat on the roof of a building three blocks from Kakashi's place watching the streets below when she spotted someone vaguely familiar to her and slipped off fo the edge of the roof and let herself fall. She landed on the ground lightly on the balls of her feet just a few steps from the person that she had recognised and got a startled look from the person a second before the man turned himself completely around to look at her.
Naru looked him over under her hood, noting that he still looked as young and worried as he always did. His hair was still the same. His dak skin was still the same. Even the scar across the bridge of his nose was the same. "Can I help you with something?" He asked as he looked her over.
He didn't recognise her. She could see it in his eyes. And though that fact hurt her a little bit, she supposed that it was understandable. She lifted an arm and pointed further down the street and quickly said, "The person that your looking for is down there, wedged into a small place between two buildings, hoping that you won't find him."
The man blinked and gave her a sadistic smile. "Thanks for the clue miss. I'm off to catch me a leafling."
Naru gave him a happy smile and waved. "Have fun!" She chirped as Dolphin walked away.
