Sarah rubbed the back of her neck as she moved around her home.  Well one thing for sure, once he did get up and looked around he'd know she appreciated Kakashi Hatake as much as he did.  That might build a sense of trust.  It bothered her not knowing who would have drugged and left him out in the middle of no where.  They had been a good thirty minutes away from the ComiCon when they came across him.  It really puzzled her what the motive had been.  The only logical explanation was that someone had wanted to kill him and make it look like an accident.  Who was he?

She was not going to get any answers until he woke up.  She should probably call her work so they could dispatch a deputy to talk to him but as insistent as he had been about the hospital, she didn't want to get him upset the minute he came around by having law enforcement there waiting.  It really wasn't her call but rather his at this point.  He might want to just forget what happened.  She picked up her phone and called for delivery from Sakura's.  She made a guess as to what he would want from the Chinese restaurant.  Forty minutes until they arrived.

She decided to get cleaned up while she could.  She wasn't quite sure she wanted to take a shower with an unknown male awake.  While he was asleep, it was the perfect time to get cleaned up.

Kakashi could hear her ordering food then a few minutes later, a shower started.  He sat up, deciding now was a good time to do some snooping.  He was still rather confused as to what had happened to him and even more confused as he remembered her leaning over him when he had woke up the first time.  It was the same woman he had been dreaming about, which made him even more nervous as to where he was exactly.  She had not been from his world and he was beginning to suspect he was in another world entirely.

He slipped almost silently out of the room and went into the living room.  He froze as he looked around and began to start to understand the conversation he had heard earlier.  The room was decorated in cartoon images and artwork that was of people he knew alongside images of himself in cartoon form.  He saw a billfold on the kitchen island and went to it.  He opened it up and read the ID inside.  Her name was Sarah De'Arr.  He returned the wallet to the exact position it had been in before quietly going down the hallway to what he assumed was her bedroom.

He could see a light under a closed door inside the bedroom.  The shower was going inside so he assumed it was a bathroom.  He hesitated for a moment at the doorway and his mouth dropped open as he looked around.  It looked almost like a shrine to him.  He felt his face flush with heat from the blush that no doubt was all over his face.  There was a large canvas print over the bed of himself in a fighting pose.  The comforter on the bed had his likeness, pillow covers.  He got even redder when he saw a large pillow in the center of the bed, that she obviously snuggled, with his half-naked image on it.  His eyes then shifted to the nightstand where there were little figurines and even a book with his image on the cover.  Stuffed toys in his likeness.  He'd never in his wildest imaginations had ever guessed that someone would have a room like this.

It made the conversation with her friend even more clear.  She definitely had a major crush on him, that much was clear.  At least... with this cartoon version of himself.  Fuck, where the hell am I and what the hell?  He was more confused than when he had gone exploring.  The shower shut off and he cursed inwardly.  He slipped back out of the room and went to the living room.  He had no choice but to wait to get answers from her directly.

Kakashi rubbed the back of his neck, not sure how he should proceed with everything he had just seen.  He was definitely out of his world and now he wondered... how did she know him and the others if he was not in his world?  He then started to remember the energy that had engulfed him and yanked him back when he was about to be killed in his world.  He then remembered Sasuke's gift.  He hurried back into the room he had come out of and went to his vest.  He pulled the wallet out of the front pocket and opened it.
