Please, Mask Your Pain. - Kakashi time travel gender bender

Chapter 2

A/N

This goes at such a weird pace sorry.

< Acceptance >

Kakashi entered the bathroom, cold tiles underneath her feet and small breeze from the vents sending chills down her spine. She walked to the sink, stepping up the white stool in front of it. Her reflection stared back and Kakashi looked in awe.

She was... cute.

Short clean cut silver hair and bangs going down sideways. No one would take her seriously on the battlefield. Blank black orbs looked back her in scrutiny, and Kakashi frowned.

... How did she know is this was really reality? That some Kami just tossed her into the past as a female for sh*ts and giggles?

"... KAI!" She yelled, and braced for this perfect chance to shatter around her.

It didn't.

She felt a wave of dizziness hit her and she swayed slightly, stumbling. Kakashi grabbed hold of the sink, feeling sick. 

Why was it that death just want to take everyone around her but never take her?

Red flickered on her arms and it felt and seemed so real, blood trailing down her forearms and sinking into her fingernails, dripping into the sink. Kakashi's breath quickened, tears starting to form in her eyes. Calm down calm down-

She grasped for the faucet, turning the water on. Suddenly boney hands grabbed her arms and she screamed, trying her best to pull back from the corpses that seemingly started to pile around her. Nonononono-

"Kakashi..." A rotting corpse she recognized as Naruto croaked, crawling towards her.

Kakashi could feel herself start to ventilate and she looked around desperately. Where were the pills subscribed by Inoichi-?! Reality punched her in the gut as she fell backwards on the floor.

She didn't have them.

And as the corpses surrounded her, grabbing at her sleeves and limbs, Kakashi could only curl into a ball and sob. The word "Sorry" seemed to pour continuously from her lips as she begged for these- illusions to disappear. 

"Kakashi?!" someone yelled and she curled tighter into herself, eyes squeezing tight. The voices started to overwhelm her senses and she just prayed for someone to save her.

"KAKASHI!" that same voice yelled and a pair of solid hands grabbed her shoulders and her eyes snapped open. She shakily looked up to find that the corpses were gone and that her own fingers were digging into her forearms again, toes curled. 

Her father, her savior, was kneeling in front of her, staring at her so worriedly and so real-

Kakashi shakily lifted up a hand and touched Sakumo's arm.

"You're... Real." she whispered, and looked at him like he was some miracle given by the heavens. Then she stumbled forward and clung to him like she did in the morning, repeating the words over and over again. You'rerealYou'rereal-

Sakumo just held her in his arms, making a point to visit Inoichi tomorrow.

Why was this happening to her...?
