Kakashi frowned. Something wasn't right. For starters, every single one of his (not yet, future) students was staring at one another suspiciously. This is . . . odd, for a start.
When he'd woken to find himself in the past, he hadn't been expecting there to be any changes so soon, not before he'd even had the chance to do anything yet!
And yet. And yet . . .
Everything was different.
Sakura's hair was in a high ponytail. Naruto wasn't wearing his jacket. And Sasuke . . . Sasuke wasn't wearing his hitai-ate.
Hm. How . . . odd.

What the fuck. What the fuck. What the fuck.
What's going on. What the fuck is going on.
He's short. Why is he short? He's . . . in his apartment? But—no, that's not right, this apartment got destroyed during Pein's attack, he knows it did, so why . . .
Why the fuck is he in his childhood apartment, in his childhood clothes, with his childhood hair and his childhood height.
What the ever-loving fuck—

"Sakura! It's time to get up!"
Huh . . . ?
"Hurry up! You're going to be late!"
Huh . . . ?
"It's your last day, Sakura! C'mon, up and at 'em!"
Huh . . . ?
"Sakura!"
HUH?!

Chirp chirp.
Eh?
Creak.
. . . eh?
"Refurbished shuriken and kunai, half-off!"
Ehh?
"First come, first serve! We've got a limited stock today, folx!"
Ehhhh?!
"Konoha's finest metalwork!"
—Konoha?!

"My first impression of you guys . . . hm." Kakashi tilted his head thoughtfully, and eye-smiled. "Creepy."
"Ehhh?!"
---
What—what day is it? What—Academy or shinobi, Academy, or shinobi?! Ah!—a hitai-ate! Shinobi, shinobi! Ah, but . . . what . . . ah! Calendar! Yes, yes—ah?! Today is . . . ?!
---
Sakura twitched violently. Long hair, she shuddered. Pretty, but . . . when you're not used to it . . . feels like something creepy is caressing your back.
Mind made up, Sakura began digging through her belongings looking for a hair tie.
Why couldn't her younger self be more organized? Ugh . . .
---
Sasuke's going to kill his younger self. Why the fuck didn't he keep a calendar? What, did he think he was too good for calendars? What, you just gonna memorize everything? All your important event dates? Well you weren't prepared for this, were you.
