What the hell? Kakashi thought as he started to feel dizzy.

He lifted a hand his head and tried to breathe through it but the feeling of dizziness persisted until he felt like he was going to hurl as vague images of the Valley of Ends, Sauske and...an unknown hooded figure flashed through his mind.

That wasn't right, was it? He wondered as the feeling got strong enough to force him down to a kneeling position before Sakura and Tsunade noticed that something was up.

"Kakashi, what's wrong?" Tsunade demanded in a slightly alarmed tone as she started to get up out of her seat as Sakura dropped down next to her former sensei and put a hand on one of his shoulders and waited like that for a moment or so as Kakashi finally got the feeling that the dizziness had passed and unsteadily stood back up.

"Nothing. It was nothing-" Both Tsunade and Sakura looked unconvinced. But honestly what could he say to them? That he was experiencing a strange phenomenon with his memories and feeling as if something big was going down. They would likely laugh him right out of the office. Or worse, question his sanity.

Hell, even he was starting to question his sanity at this point.

Tsunade got up out of her seat and walked around her desk to stand in front of him and looked him over. For a moment he refused to look at her, a sure sign that something was going on with him. He merely didn't want to mention it out of fear that he would look weak or something. "Kakashi, come to the hospital tomorrow morning and have a physical-"

He looked at her and was about to say no when she smirked at him and said, "This isn't a request." He sighed and nodded his head and muttered under his breath, a frown on his face as Tsunade looked at the clock hanging on the wall to their left and growled in irritation.

"Where the hell is Naru?"

(**********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************)

Naru and Sauske hit the tile floor of the women's restroom in the Tower with a resounding thud as Sauske's bones started the painful transformation of changing from that of a fifteen year old to a twenty year old. Naru pushed herself upright as she heard the sickening crack of some of his bones as they lengthened and expanded, she saw his skin raise up and move like tiny waves as his blood and organs all rearranged themselves to fit the current time stream.

His features grew sharper, more darkly handsome, his hair lengthened-

Naru rubbed her sore knee- The one that she had cracked on the floor when they had fallen and shifted so that she was sitting back on his haunches next to him and he tried to scream. Tried being the operative word since his bady was in so much pain that coherant sound would definately not happen anytime soon. Especially with his vocal cords paralyzed by the sudden change.

She waited for what must have felt like forever, but was in fact just a few minutes before deciding to take pity on him and reached out and put him to sleep before grabbing one of his arms and pulling him up just enough to slip an arm around him and maneuver him up onto one of her shoulders and slowly stood up.

Tsunade and the others would be so surprised to see Sauske again so soon. The very notion of the soon to be reunion made her giggle as she made her way to the door and slipped out.

(**********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************)

Tsunade turned around and stopped in mid rant as Naru slipped into her office with what looked like a person slung over one of her shoulders and a thoroughly happy look on her partially hidden face. "Yo." Naru said, mimicking Kakashi's habitual greeting, further upsetting the Kage.

"Yo yourself brat. I told you to be back in three minutes. It's been seven! And just who the hell is slung over your shoulder?" Tsunade all but shouted at Naru, a vein appearing in her forehead to indicate her anger.

Naru looked slightly taken aback and promptly dropped the person and stepped back as Sauske hit the floor at her feet and groaned in his sleep as Kakashi and Sakura (both apparently recognized the raven) gaped at her in shock and dismay as Tsunade stomped over and grabbed Sauske and started to shake him when she realized who he was and let go of him, causing him to fall back to the floor as all eyes suddenly fixated on her.

"How did-" Tsunade started to say as Naru giggled again and said.

"I found him and brought him home."

"How is that- When did-"

"I lied when I said I had to pee. I used the bathroom as an excuse to track Sauske and drag him back. It was very easy. And now we don't have to look for him." Tsunade, and Sakura gaped at her as Kakashi narrowed his eye at her. His mind working overtime trying to figure out what had just happened. Not just with Naru but with his memories as well.

He looked over Sauske and noted that his clothes were so tight that they were torn in some places, the colors and design were exactly the same as the clothes he'd worn the day he had left the village. What was going on here? He wondered as he looked back at Naru and for a brief moment he felt totally stumped by what he was seeing.

Naru's hooded figure seemed to blur and merge together with the person he'd seen in his memories. That hooded jacket of hers was a dead give away. It was exactly the same as the one he remembered seeing it on the person who had grabbed Sauske. But if he recalled this, why didn't Tsunade? Or Sakura?

Why was it just him? Naru looked at him and smiled faintly and lifted a finger to her lips and Kakashi felt as if he'd just been punched.

Holy shit, she knew!
