[Action for New Bark]
[The sun is fading when Kakashi gets kicked out of the house. As if the weird woman calling herself 'mom', the green dog and the music wasn't strange enough, Kakashi also can't see through this genjutsu. His left eye wasn't working the way it should - the way it had since the day he'd gotten it. So he pulls of his hitai-ate and uses it's reflective surface to look at it. The sharigan still swirls, red with black tomoe. Obito's eye looks like it had the last time Kakashi examined at it so why wasn't it working. He replaces his hitai-ate, pulling it low over his left eye to hide the mismatched eyes and scar. Maybe there would be someone here he could ask.]
[Time to dig through his bag and see what sort of supplies he had. A pair of clothes, an odd device that could serve as communication, some necessities, food and more importantly - papers. Papers meant information. There's a map and information about being a trainer. He supposes that's why the dog had followed him away from the house as he packs everything back up except for the papers and the communication device. It doesn't escape his notice that his weapons are gone. Looks like he really will have to depend on the animal for protection until he could find replacements.]
[Kakashi stops to look down at the dog and the dog looks back.] So what am I going to name you?
The dog sits back on his haunches and wags his tail in the dirt. In response the ninja crosses his arms over his chest.] What can you do?
Electrike! [Well, that was a weird response. Kakashi points his communication device at him and he tenses a little when it starts talking. He listens to it closely.] So you're an electric-type Pokemon. [Whatever that means.] I've got just the name for you then. From now on you're going to be Chidori.
[It jumps up, putting both front feet on Kakashi's leg and licking his hand enthusiastically. He pushes it down with a stern no. If he was supposed to train this thing then it would not jump on people unless invited. He starts toward the road, intent on getting underway as there wasn't much point to sticking around here.] Let's go see if there's anyone we know here, Chidori. And keep quiet about it, now's a good time to learn stealth.
[As soon as the words were out of his mouth Kakashi grows tense. There wasn't really anyone left to seek out. Not now that sensei and Kushina had joined the rest of the team in the afterlife. Sure there was Gai and several others but no teammates. Maybe it was best if he just stuck it out on his own at this point. Kakashi looks down at the communicator still in his hand. Might as well.]
[Video]
[Darkness has settled in but there's a shock of white in the black. That's right, someone's hair shines in the growing moonlight. It's the most noticeable thing about the person in the video. Most of his face seems to be shadowed due to his mask and his forehead protector that's pulled over his left eye. What can be seen is a single eye and the person it belongs to doesn't look all that impressed or happy about the situation.]
Is this thing on?
[His Electrike chimes in excitedly at his side. Kakashi looks over at the thing with a stern look. The dog-like pokemon goes quiet but its tail wags which its owner doesn't seem to mind.]
Right, my name is Kakashi. Obviously I just got here - wherever here is. [He doesn't seem all that surprised even though he should be. At least, Kakashi doesn't show it.] This is a good time to ask for any information anyone may have on this place.
[Annnnd...]
[Yeah okay, that's it.]
[He doesn't have anything else to say. No one to search for so Kakashi just ends the communication there.]

I really, really don't like caves.
[Considering caves were the source of many issues this made sense in his mind.]
Ah, right. That weekend... I met you. Like, you as an adult.
You have no idea how weird you were.
no subject
You're not afraid of caves now, are you? [No sympathy here. In fact, he may tease if Obito's not careful.]
I've heard a little about my adult self. [One who reads books written by "ero-sennin" and is still considered "Gai-sensei's" rival.]
no subject
In comparison I mean.
[What's that? Why yes he's pretending you didn't ask about the caves.]
I didn't see the late thing or the trolling in action, I just saw that. I... seriously didn't know what to do. I mean. He hugged me and I sure didn't started it so just.
[He waved his hand in the air a bit helplessly.]
I don't know.
Oh right! So. Um. Your future students are probably gonna try to steal your mask.
no subject
[He's late at this age but only because he spends too much time at Obito and Rin's graves. There's not much reason to be late here without them.]
I got the impression I was more...friendly in the future. [But what can he do about that? A few months ago they were at war and just the other night the Kyuubi attacked the village.] Just things. Like who my students are, who else they learned from, hobbies.
[Kakashi is making an unhappy face under that mask.]
Hugged you. Are you sure it was me?
[Because that doesn't sound like him - that sounds like Obito.]
Why would they do that?
no subject
[He gave a little shrug.]
Naruto and I argue a lot. But my little cous is alright.
And Sakura uh... reminds me of Kushina...
no subject
[He hid his face because it looked like his father's.]
Like Kushina or Tsunade? [Seeing as how they did all learn from the Sennin.]
no subject
[He never had really gotten a really strong example of Tsunade's temper... but he'd gotten plenty of Kushina's.]
no subject
[At least, that's what he's heard anyway.]

[He's silent for a moment, taking in a breath.]
It's weird. Not having it.
no subject
...
That and ledges.
no subject
Someone told me about that.
no subject
But. Um. Anyway! He had to lead me out from the top since I kind of misjudged a jump and ended up down a ravine.
no subject
Still an idiot, I see.
no subject
Still do, he's just gone back to a non-human state.
no subject
He left. [Not a question.]
no subject
There was one of these weekends you see, and then we were together in the cave for a bit, and he found this. He tended to say it's his original physical body, and that what I knew was just a construct made from that.
The pages are all blank save a message he wrote on one in the middle for me before he vanished. It was... rough I guess, I was responsible for him, y'know?
[He looked over at him, letting him see the little book.]
Sorry for putting you through something like that too.
no subject
There are some things about this world I will never understand.
[Like how a book could become a person.]
[Those last words - have Kakashi looking away and leaning forward on his knees.]
I should have been a better leader. A better teammate. You may be an idiot sometimes but you were right.
[He almost blurts out that he couldn't protect either of them.]
[Quietly:] I'm sorry.
[There's no elaboration on what he's sorry for.]
no subject
You learned, right? What matters is that you got to be a better person.
[He hesitated for a moment though.]
Kushina-nee told me Rin died. I'm sure you did your best so if you're apologizing for that... I won't blame you, okay?
no subject
[Even if Obito can forgive him, that doesn't mean Kakashi can forgive himself.]
[This time he does flinch a little. Kakashi had silently vowed to never tell the other about Rin.]
Did she tell you how?
no subject
It wasn't a good day.
