Vegas Lights (AU)⎟Closed Thread

{☇}:-- - Consciousness was before the masked man before he could try and return back to sleep. He knew the moment he opened his eyes everything would just be and feel worse, the exhausting thought of 'what the hell happened last night?' floating through his mind. Besides the brief memory of encountering a beautiful woman that he got along very well with, he couldn't recall anything after they got so drunk they comfortably began making out in the club with one another. Trying to return back to his much preferred sleeping state, the white haired nin was in agony - eyes squeezed shut as his skull felt like it was becoming tighter and tighter every second. His back stinging from an unknown source of pain. The unfortunate and practically inevitable hangover was fully upon him.

With a queasy stomach and suffering in complete dehydration, his lone eye opened and squinted right away. A moan escaping his lips as they reacted so painfully to the outside light. Too disgustingly bright for his current state right now. Just as he was about to roll out of bed, someone rolled on top of him. Peering down as much as he could, Kakashi was only met back with tangled azure hair. Letting out a sigh, he slid out as smoothly and quietly as he could without disturbing the other.

Water splashed across his face before he leaned down to take a large gulp of it from the sink, feeling the satisfaction instantaneously as he got some water in his system. With exhausted eyes at his reflection in the mirror - his white hair, which was all was messy, was sticking to his face more from his light sweat and even more all over the place than usual. Turning his back to the mirror so he could finally get a good look at another issues. As he was met with telltale scratch marks, a scream from the bedroom forced him out the bathroom and back in there. With a wide eye, he watched from a distance as the now-awake woman was starring with horror at a ring on a very specific finger. "Please tell me that you have been wearing that ring the entire time," he muttered, his hangover only becoming worse with this.

Anata no Barentain ⎟Close Thread

{☇}:-- - Frustration was currently an understatement on what the prodigy felt. He don't know how he let Kushina and Minato coax him into going through with this, but here he was... getting ready for his first date... for his first "valentine". Sighing, his foot tapped against his wood floor in impatience. It wasn't that he didn't like the girl, she was attractive and one of the few people Kakashi let behind some of his walls. It was more of the fact he had no clue what he was doing, no clue what he felt, what she felt. He had no real clue what was happening. 

As the clock finally turned all marks to indicate it was two o'clock, he set off from his home. Walking through the streets, he kept the gifts close to his chest and his head down to avoid eye contact. Kakashi's shy nature really showing today, something he was embarrassed about especially after how Kushina gushed over how cute it was of him. Worrying him even more by saying how it was just nerves. Why were they there? What reason did have to be nervous? He has known her since the academy! They work closely together! Hell, they spend almost every day together and for long periods of time.

Stepping on her front porch, he swallowed what he assumed was "nerves" and knocked as confidently as he could. Stepping back he felt he was growing unreasonably impatient as it seemed to take forever for her to answer the door when in reality it was only a couple of seconds. The moment the door was open though, his hands shot out as he extended the flowers and chocolates for the girl. "Kushina said girls like it when their dates buy them cliche gifts, she helped me pick them out. It was really her idea, I think this part is kind of stupid." The prodigy's face turned away as he concerned himself with concealing his shy blush that was too threatening for his comfort. His words rushed and giving away too much of his nervousness. "Happy Valentines Day, Rin," he muttered more softly and finally looked at his comrade when she took away the gifts from his hands.

End of Demise ⎟Closed Thread

{☇}:-- - Panting heavily, the man slouched and clutched the shruiken between his fingers. Not only had a lost massive amounts of chakra due to the back and forth, but his own opponent was taking a toll on him. The free hand went up to his chest and pressed firmly against the damp clothes. Pulling his hand back he looked as his skin was the now bathed in his blood. His wound wasn't going to be causing him complete blood loss, though the moment was done he needed a medic to look at it. That is if he made it out of this.

As his enemy reformed before his eyes. The face still stilled Kakashi. The white haired nin was still unable to comprehend what was before his very eyes. He had to fight his hero. He head to fight his former comrade. More importantly he had to fight his friend.

Luckily it wasn't just Kakashi sustaining such damage during this though. The other before him was seeming to take on damage as well. He was still expressionless though, he was still being a strong opposing force. It it came to it, if the events turned where Kakashi would have to end the others life to stop this, he would do it. Not without some questions though. The main being why couldn't he persuade the other? Why wasn't he able to find another way to stop him? "Obito!" Kakashi called once again in hopes to grab the others attention before another attack. "Stop this here and now! Only you can! Are you really so okay with destroying more? Killing more lives of people you once knew?"

Two Sided Memories ⎟closed threads

{☇}:-- - Treading slowly through the village, the nin wiped the small amounts of sweat from his lone visible brow. Letting out a huff, he rolled his shoulders back and cracked his neck. His mood rather lifted from just finishing another rival challenge with Gai. Gesturing a greeting to those familiar to him when he passed, he made no time to stop and chat. Though a couple invited him over to get dinner, he was rather preoccupied with his desire for sleep.

Getting to his apartment complex, he halted as he saw a familiar figure sat, seemingly impatient, on the stairs that reached to his home. With a raised eyebrow Kakashi headed over to the boy, tilting his head when he stopped in front of the raven-haired boy, pleasantly surprised by this visit. Out of all his students, he was the only one who never made attempts to come over to where the white haired shinobi lived.

"I hope you haven't been waiting long, if I would have known I had guest tonight I would have come home sooner," Kakashi explained, still looking at his student with interest. "What brings you here tonight, Sasuke?"

Broken Promises ⎟Closed Thread

{☇}:-- - The hours dread on to the masked nin, his fingers slowly pressing against the cover of his beloved book, feeling every mark made into it. His own words to his student wasn't enough. Failure. The word was causing the man to internally ache as he watched the sky portray such an eerie cast down on to the village. Sasuke had gone rouge. 

"Don't worry Sakura, soon things will go back to the way they used to be."

Muscles stiffening as the man rose, he only wish to hung his head in shame. While Naruto was off chasing some crazy dream that he could bring Sasuke back, only one of his students was left back here in Kohona. Honestly, he was frightened to go comfort her. His hopeful promise was now broken. Kakashi's earlier words weightless now. The three main things he had left to protect... it was all just falling apart.

Two light knocks came from Kakashi as he reached Sakura's home. As he made a brief exchange with her parents, explaining more of the situation to them, he parted with them and head towards the girls room. Her mother only making Kakashi far more concerned about Sakura's well being. Silently opening her door, he entered a dark room that barely let any light come in. His lone eye catching the slumped figure on the bed. Unsure if she was awake, Kakashi sat on her bed by where he assumed her feet to be. "Sakura?" he spoke out softly, in a form of tone he only really used to comfort something injured. He clasped his hands together tightly, moving his jaw around lightly as he forced himself to keep a level-head during this.

Incoherence (AU) ⎟Closed Thread

{☇}:-- - Clocking in to the rather dead bar -- or better known as his job, the man rolled his head and shoulders around. Loosening up for the long ten hours he would be standing solely on his feet for and serving rip roaring drunk customers. After both of his parents death and the death of one of his closest friends (a haunting event), at a young age Kakashi bolted from his home town and began a new life else where, leaving behind one of the first friends he ever made. Though this job wasn't his passion, he made good money and that was better than being on the streets. He would never admit it, but the white haired bartender did enjoy his job.

Some how, Kakashi became a crowd favorite. Not only did he make amazing drinks, whether they be person favorites or special ones Kakashi developed and made sure the drunks always had a safe way to get home, he also found it quite entertaining to listen what the drunkards had to say. It varied between each customer; some the happy drunk, some the horny drunk, some the sad drunk, and some the angry drunk. Though Kakashi detested the latter, it was always interesting for him to hear their problems. It passed the long hours he had to work in no time and always left him with great tips.

Mixing up a usual drink for a regular, Kakashi turned at the sound of the front door slamming against the wall. The, already drunk, dark haired man stumbling his way to the bar. Rolling his eye, Kakashi held up a finger at the woman who was ready to vent out all her annoyance with her boss and work, and headed over to where the drunkard had stabled himself on a seat. "I take it you want a drink," he called, hoping this person wasn't passed out already. A closer look at him just made Kakashi realized how tanked the person was. "By law, I'm to advise you against it... especially if you are driving. I can't refuse you though," he explained, snagging an empty, used mug and cleaning it with a cloth. "However, if you need a ride you can lay down five extra dollars and I can take you back to your home when it closes."
