There are bad days. There are worse days. And then there's his day.

Kyoji's girlfriend cheats on him, breaks up with him, everything reminds him of her, and he manages to forget his keys at the bar he told the near omniscient bartender, Takamura, his woes. He meets another cute girl, Hatsumomo, who also happens to know said bartender, and it's not long before they become close.

It takes even less time for her to be kidnapped, by the Japanese mafia, no less. Geez, will he ever catch a break?

But what starts with a sudden kidnapping reveals to be so much more: a prophetic call to adventure that had been foretold ages before the heroes of this story came around. In a world where the only thing extraordinary is the amount of unengaging ordinariness, below the seemingly mundane surface lies an incredible, lavish secret world that not many are privy to. From Whisperers of Death, to Dragons, to Kabuki Creatures and ghoulish Zombies, those aware of this hidden reality have fantastical journeys and adventurous trials laying in wait for them. 

Some seek to rescue a kidnapped friend and distribute justice while keeping malevolent forces at bay. Others plot to eliminate the existence of those pesky do-gooders, plans of conquesting combat and corrupting those that stand in their way. Others still just happened to be caught up in the cross-fire, and they are NOT happy about it.

Whatever actions they take and consequences they face, at the end of the day, the sword shall always be sheathed.

Hatake Kakashi is on his way home from a mission, when he gets kidnapped by Akatsuki. Kisame and Itachi were instructed to gather for the realization of their plans advantageous information which only Kakashi posses. While he is a prisoner of Akatsuki, he gets to know the inscrutable Uchiha Itachi, which makes him doubt the gruesome prejudices he had heard about him. As time passes on, both of them are getting closer and they have to assess if there can be a joint future for them. Notes: I have been thinking about whether I should release this story or not for a long time. Actually, I only supposed to write it for me and a friend. But after some coaxing of hers, I experienced it as a waste, too, to just let it spoil in the endless archive of my phone, which is why I would like to share it now. The story goes on signifantly longer than usual Wattpad-storys do and I have written it in a novel-like style. Time and again, there are exciting scenes between Kakashi and Itachi. So it will never get boring! I tried really hard to connect everything logically and think that I did a pretty good job. Oh, and the story is happening at the time between Naruto Classic and Naruto Shippuden by the way. What I should mention additionally is: As you have probably already noticed, I am not a native English speaker. So please forgive me smaller mistakes. I wrote this story in my native language - German - as well ... so if you rather want to read it in German, here's the link: https://www.wattpad.com/story/274321241-kakashi-x-itachi-roman-edition-deutsch Well ... there is nothing more to say. I really hope that you enjoy the story and have a good time ^.^

Ħɵω Ʈɵ ɮϵ ĦεαяϮհϵςς Theoretically, Itadori Sana should have been an amazing ninja. Top in her class, photographic memory, the ability to disassociate due to sheer embarrassment. If being a shinobi was all about theory, Sana was basically a sannin. But one can't be a theoretical ninja. Unfortunately, apparently, you actually have to be able to do a Jutsu well. Coming from a noble family, failure isn't an option, but Sana was a genius. How hard should it be to become a ninja without the ability of, well, talent? How hard is it for the girl who went through her entire life lying to her rich, judgmental, high-class family about her talents, to pass one exam? Pretty hard. So, Sana must convince the most popular guy in her class for help to pass this exam and save her ass from being disowned. The only problem is, he thinks being 'edgy' is a personality trait and Sana can't stand him. Witness this humorous take on a socially awkward bitch, paired up with an orange PAP Smear, an embarrassing horny fangirl, and a douche-ninja.
