narasnooze Shikamaru's frown only deepened when Kakashi waved the whole thing off and said it was all good and fine, telling Shikamaru not to look at him with the expression he wore. Well, Kakashi would just have to deal with Shikamaru's face at the moment. A short moment passed before Shikamaru spoke again. "Why didn't you go and have it looked at right from the start? You're not stupid. You know it can cause a lot of unnecessary issues, just like it did..!" he threw a hand gesture to Kakashi. "An infection is bad enough. That alone with some bad luck could lead to blood poisoning. Which you are aware of." Shikamaru's frown deepened further, just slightly. He added a sigh and put the documents in his hand down to rub his face and stayed like that. "You told me I didn't need to worry before I left."

"Maa I just needed to finish a few things." He had simply lost track of time. First it had just been that one report he had wanted to look at. Then as time went by other things came up. It had not looked that bad at first. Shikamaru was right though. He should have gone immediately. Especially now. Being Hokage Kakashi owed it to the village to stay more or less fighting fit. Even though the village was sure doing its best to prevent that considering all that desk work that came with the position.

"Do you truly believe that I did not already get that particular lecture?" He had. From Sakura. Additionally to another one about still doing missions himself. He ignored it mostly. Kakashi never wanted to be Hokage. That had not changed. He would drop that hat as soon as possible. In the meantime duty to the village was the one thing that made him do it at all. If they did not want him to go completely insane over it, he would do it on his own terms.

"And you didn't..." he replied.

"You are aware that I in fact truly do not like doing this ne? Yet I still am. Everyone who is chiming in with alleged good advises on how to do this properly is very welcome to take over. I will even throw a party. If not I do this my way. There were urgent matters. I misjudged and made a bad call. It happens ne."

"As if she won't tell you anyway...it was nothing too bad...there is that kid...Honoki I think is her name ...anyway...I ran out of stuff for her to do...I mean it was not exactly my job to find tasks for her in the first place considering Tanaka brought the girl in...I then might have send her to the hospital to find the special slide rule so I can read my bloodcount properly." He regretted nothing. He still found it funny.

"Tomorrow? Why would I do that?" he asked, arching both eyebrows though the left always stayed a little further down due to the scar.

"I have managed to avoid it for days. Let them come and make me do it. That is at least a far more interesting physical than running on a treadmill and it will also be Chakra screening in one go because I have a feeling Sakura would drag Hinata along for it."

He would sit it out. Eventzally either Shizune or Sakura had it and they would show up.

"Hm?" he asked innocently.

"Oh...you heard that? There is a possibility that I might have been on one of my walks and on that walk I might have gotten a wound and then I might have waited too long to go to the hospital and there might have been an infection..."

Yeah...that had been stupid. That kunai wound had also been quite deep. He simply had not taken it that serious. It was not the first and not the last wound. The infection had been pretty bad though.

"Don't give me that look. It's alright again and I really did not do it on purpose. I plan to go to the hospital the next day...the fever hit me first though...I'm punished enough being dragged to the hospital by ANBU."

"Bakashi!" Obito was no faster to manhandle Kakashi around the shoulders, " you finally came back. "

"Ugh" he said when Obito made impact.

"I always do don't I?" he said.

"Don't give me that look. It's alright again and I really did not do it on purpose. I plan to go to the hospital the next day...the fever hit me first though...I'm punished enough being dragged to the hospital by ANBU."

Shikamaru shook his head while a smile stretched his lips. He didn't take his eyes off the documents, though. He would not comment more on either missing Kakashi and Pakkun, or the gnome joke. However, hearing that Shizune had scolded him made Shikamaru glance up briefly before letting his eyes read the characters on the report. "She's... correct, of course." Well, now he was a bit of a hypocrite. All good and fun, though, right? "What did you do? Do I even want to know?"

Shikamaru gave Kakashi an exasperated look at being told exactly who's drool it was. Now... it might not be any, at all. Kakashi did seem to enjoy messing with him. But, it could also very well be dried bulldog drool. Not that he was actually too concerned about it. He had Akamaru over on occassions, after all. Not to mention the mess some of the deer made. Yes. Some managed, somehow, to get inside the house. A nightmare, truthfully.

The image of Sakura chasing Kakashi with a syringe was both humorous and... quite terrifying. He wouldn't want to be in Kakashi's shoes. Definitely not. It was at least done. This village is lucky they've got people like Sakura... Things, important things, get done.

"I'll get you off the floor, don't worry. You can do the rest of the physical tomorrow or the day after. I'll schedule a time for you that fit best." he said, as if that was final. No negotiating. Just get it over with, Kakashi.

Shikamaru was just about to turn a page when he slightly froze in his movement and gently tilted his head, wondering. "Hold on.. 'Again' ?" Had the guy been in need of a medic earlier while Shikamaru was away? Or was he just reading too much into one word, here? Overthinking things was one of his damn specialities, after all.

@divinidy

He tastes blood in his mouth. That blow had hit him heavy. Stupid Uchiha. Usually their 'training' starts like any regular training but it never stays that way. Eventually they are closer to killing each other than sparring with each other like normal Shinobi do. However they are probably very far from being normal Shinobi are they not?

After a few more heavy blows they part again for a moment. Circling each other like the predators they are to find the best angle to cause the most damage. Kakashi pulls the mask down for a second to spit out blood, probably also revealing a pretty nasty bruise. It sure feels like it. He gives Obito a small, lopsided smirk and cracks his neck before he pulls the mask up.

Then Obito is there again.

"Tremendously" he presses out. Oh no not that again, he thinks when Obito tries to stab himself with Kakashi's hand. Obito is bigger than him and physically stronger. Since he needs both hands now, trying to prevent Obito from slamming the kunai into his own chest, he headbutts him in the hopes to get enough leeway to get a kick in to separate them again.

@009720kakashi / source

The remaining members of Team Minato have outgrown their frivolous days, yet Kakashi fighting training with Obito carried on like nothing has changed. As though the world did not kill them a sister, and kept spinning round and round, the forest singing with their thunder, the leaves charred with fire.

Sometimes, it starts with a shove here and there, then a catching of hands trying to throw the other around. Sometimes, a meetup was planned. Sometimes, a passing look was all that was needed.

Minato-sensei was no longer here to mediate their battles. Obito doesn’t miss the bastard’s yapping.

One day, he wishes that Kakashi would slip and really drive that kunai into where it belongs. Deep down into his lungs, cracking his spine, and severing his back.     You killed Rin to save her. What about me ?

Obito tugged on Kakashi’s kunai wielding hand, ❛ Enjoying yourself ? ❜ His smile must look ugly on his scarred face, all while trying to force Kakashi to stab him. ❛ Oh, don’t stop~ ❜

Kira looked at him, wide eyed as if the notion hadn't even occurred to her. She nodded and went to her bag to get her favorite romance book then came over to him, not wanting to be alone. She was quiet for a while as she read, occasionally she would look at him then back to her book then finally a heaviness weighed her heart and she spoke, seemingly out of the blue. "I'm allowed to do missions on my own now... but Lord Third said he will likely pair me with you for a good time." She quietly closed her book. "I'm glad you're my captain, but... to be honest, I'm scared about having a partner again." She admitted, placing her delicate hands on the front cover, palm side down. "The last time I had one, was before ANBU. I was the lead and it... it didn't go well, and I made the wrong... call." She disassociated, her mind falling back into that exact moment when everything had gone wrong... until she subtly pinched at herself to get her to focus. Then she took a breath. "I'm glad I'm in a position to follow orders, because I never want to lead again, but... if there is anything life taught me, it's that things rarely go according to plan. And I... I guess I was wondering if... I could tell you what had happened so I can know if... I don't know. If I deserve those nightmares." She felt her heart racing, her breath quickening. The screams of her teammate rang in her ears despite only the sounds of night being truly audible. She pinched herself again. "I ask this, because I know you'll be candid with me, and I respect you a great deal. There really isn't anyone else I'd feel comfortable sharing this with."

He knew about that of course. They had not talked about it but the Hokage had informed him.

"Maa I'm not that bad...no need to have nightmares because of that ne?" he said, a slight smile making his eyes crinkle a little at the sides.

"That's part of the job Kira. Bad judgement happens. Also you are not in the lead. The decisions go home with the Captain and that would be me. For the time being you are part of Team Ro. Make no mistake I demand a lot from my team. That includes you."

It was a very strange request. He would not give her what she wanted here though.

"You can tell me if you want and if you think I should know. However what you deserve or not is not for me to decide. Nightmares like these are more about what you think you deserve. No matter what anyone else will tell you it won't change that."

Kira felt shaky, she was trying to be brave but she was having a bad night. "I-I don't want to go to bed. I keep having nightmares and I can't... I can't have that nightmare again." She admitted to him despite feeling so weak and embarassed for saying it.

Nightmares were unfortunately quite common for many Shinobi. Most Shinobi preferred to deal with these things on their own and even though it was such a common issue they felt embarrassed to be caught dealing with it. Kakashi himself knew a thing or two about nightmares. There simply was no escaping them. Or maybe he just had never managed to. He still had them. Just less frequently. At least the image of Rin's blood had disappeared from his hand eventually. Though sure not due to that excessive scrubbing. His own blood had covered it then but it was not gone. Even back then he had known that it was not real. It could not be real. Still he had seen it clearly. One day it was just gone. Who knows maybe one day it will be back too. He looked up from his book and caught her gaze.

"Then don't" he said.

"I recommend reading or a walk" he added without saying that his particular walks usually brought him to the grave of the person he had killed and that on bad bad days he tended to stay in front of that grave for hours staring at it as if that would make a difference. Was that healthy? Probably not. Could he change it? Probably not. It was why he preferred to take up missions without a break. No time to brood. Also the kind of exhaustion ANBU missions usually caused left no room for nightmares. At least not for him which was perfect.

"Every third hour, or so, yes." the sarcasm continued... though, he had to admit there was some truth in there. Shikamaru found it easy to work with Kakashi, after all. It was very enjoyable, actually, most of the time. But the copy-nin didn't need to know that, did he?

Pakkun, on the other hand... an absolute menace as always. ( shikamaru will deny any sign of appreciation or enjoyment he's got about that pug. you say you saw shikamaru smile at something that dog once said? you must be off your rockers, living in the moomin valley. he would never. cough cough. )

Nara hummed in response, lazily eyeing to where Kakashi pointed out the different piles. In truth, he wasn't concerned. He knew Kakashi wasn't a slob and a total wreckage. Kakashi just had his way to organise things, as everyone does. What worried Shikamaru slightly was to catch up– and on to it himself. About that incredible hiding place for classified ANBU missions, however...

'Under the couch', are you kidding me? Of course, he is... But also; No, he isn't.

Shikamaru looked at the older man again with a dead-pan expression and shrugged. "Only gnomes, I'd suspect."

Then the documents he'd been holding was gone and he finally couldn't hold back his amusement and chuckled quietly at Kakashi's frown before reaching out to take the other pieces of paper the Hokage offered him. However, his joy was soon replaced with a faint annoyance again. "You have no ANBU stationed by you right now? With all of these lying around?" he gestured to the piles of documents, classified and not. "How do you even know I'm–– me?" Unnecessary question, because of course Kakashi knew. But still...!

With an exasperated sigh, Shikamaru dropped down on the floor with a sour, childish look on his face before looking down at the reports. No way in Hell that he was going to deal with ANBU following him tonight. Not after this damn trip he'd been through... Not that ANBU made any sign of being nearby, but it was just the fact that he would know they were there, breathing down his neck the entire time.

...poor Kakashi. Shikamaru really felt for him having to live like that.

"Don't bother. I rather pass out on your pug-drooled floor."

"That's oddly specific...is it just when you are away that you miss me and the 

Pug every third hour or do you think about us every third hour here as well? I will of course inform Pakkun about it as well" he said. Yeah...he was very tired. A yawn escaped him while he watched Shikamaru already going over a few of the papers. 

"Gnomes...now I'm scared...maybe I can get the ANBU to look under the couch for me and fetch these reports...but then maybe not...I just recently got a very scary lecture from Shizune telling me that it is not nice to shit your employees."

He probably should not have send that kid to the hospital of all places to get the special slide rule for his bloodcount so he could read it properly. Kakashi was maybe even lucky that the kid had asked Shinzune and not Sakura.

"Maa technically I do have ANBU since I am ANBU so it's not quite right that there are no ANBU here ne?" 

He pushed himself off the doorframe, took the few steps and sat down next to Shikamaru on the floor.

"There is no Pug drool on the floor. His majesty does not sleep on the floor...it's Bull's drool...nah don't look so defeated already...there are also good news...I did my physical...is what I would like to say...I did half of it though...which was basically Sakura bursting into the office armed with a syringe and these small tubes to draw blood...I still have do that fitness and chakra whatever stuff...however right now it might even be necessary to call a medic to get me off the floor again so there is that."

narasnooze.

Kakashi's assistant grimaced at 'smitten' and decided that was enough to make his thoughts about the subject clear. No way. He's too much of a hassle for someone to love. Requires too much patience, and very few has that much. Perhaps he was a tad bit overdramatic, but... it wasn't easy meeting someone you could be at complete ease around. Those who fell into that category were just some of his... friends. Friends. Speaking of patience... Shikamaru just looked at Kakashi with a dead-pan expression when the older man told him where these very important and classified documents currently were. On his damn coffee table, with that damn pug possibly drooling all over them. Fantastic. Was he surprised? Not in the slightest. Would he hide his disapproval about it? Absolutely not. "I've got to say... it's great to be back." he told the other, with the perfect amount of sarcasm mixed with amusement. He managed to keep his expression as flat as possible, though and then left Kakashi to step into the living room. "Bad? No, no... you're brilliant. So proper and mindful of the most important things." Shikamaru continued, still letting the sarcasm fill the room as he picked up one file and began reading through it quickly. He then began collecting all documents and files and stacked them together. "Well... do you trust me to take them back where they should be? I want to go through these tonight."

"You missed us ne?" he replied, clearly amused. He had gotten the sacrasm but just refused to take it as sarcasm. 

Before following Shikamaru he reached over to grab his cup of tea. Kakashi slouched after his assistant into the living and leant casually against the doorframe, taking a sip from the tea.

 Pakkun really had left by now. However not without leaving a bit of dried drool on the files. Though maybe that was his actually. He would shamelessly pin it on the Pug. Without Shikamaru Kakashi had basically done everything on his own. Sure there always were subsitutes when Shikamaru left. Unfortunately it was quite difficult to live up to Kakashi's expections. The Hokage did not complain. He did however take over all the work if he was not stopped. The result was sitting in his living room in the form of piles of files not just the ones he had mentioned to Shikamaru. A lot was already done though. It was not that bad. If he put his mind to it Kakashi was very good with paperwork and due to Shikamaru's absence he had put his mind to it. Still it had been too much. More than once he had fallen asleep with his face on the file. Hence the back pain...well and possibly the drool. 

"So I've been told" he commented with a grin. Actually he had not been told he was 'brilliant'. Prodigy yes but not brilliant. There was a difference. Honestly he had been told he was an idiot maybe more often than that he was brilliant. 

"It looks worse than it is...see that stack here is done and I think the two behind the couch are as well...and the one with the used tea mug on it is finish too...the ANBU mission stuff I put under the couch...so that's safely hidden. I mean who would look there right?" 

With a frown he snatched the papers out of Shikamaru's hand.

"Don't steal my paperwork. I have not read all of it." He sat down cross-legged on the couch and pulled out the ANBU files, handing them to Shikamaru.

"Here ...read these first. If you want to take them along I'll call for ANBU guards though" he replied more serious again. There were some nasty missions in there. Also yes, he had actually dismissed the ANBU guarding him two days ago.
