DOOOOO NOT OWNNNN NARUTO! T_T i wish i did...

According to the level of pain he was experiencing Kakashi expected to wake up in a dark room. He expected to wake up chained to a chair. What he did not expect was to wake up in a hospital.

The silver haired shinobi hesitantly lifted his head and glanced around the white room, taking in the IV drips and humming machines. On the left side of the room there was a blank white wall, but on the right side, a pane of glass covered the whole entire surface; probably a two way mirror. Looking down at himself, he grimaced to see that he had been removed of all of his gear and dressed in a blue hospital gown.

He then proceeded to rub his bleary right eye with bandage hands, and noted with annoyance that his left leg was wrapped in plaster...and that his right leg had a strange tattoo on it. The tattoo was a dull spiral shape with strange symbols surrounding it.

Reaching a hand over, he ripped the IV tubes from his flesh, ignoring the slight sting of the needle. As the calming drugs from the IV slowly stopped circulating into his blood stream, the hazy fog lifted from his mind and Kakashi glanced around alarmed at he truly became aware of his surroundings. The peaceful blanket of oblivion was ripped away as he relized he wasn't in Konoha. Questions spun in and out of his brain. Where was he? How did he get here? The last thing, Kakashi remembered was an assigned mission from the Hokage. Nothing special. Just a simple escorting mission that should have been assigned to a Genin team.

Kakashi had completed the mission in record time, about a week before the deadline...he had been heading back home. Racing among the trees, relishing at the momentarily peace...and then...nothing.

Thats all he could remember.

Kakashi slumped back on to the bed, glad that he had at least been spared from depleted chakra; as far as he could tell, his chakra was fine. But that brought him to his next question- how had he gotten all these injuries, and why wasn't his chakra speeding up the healing process?

Even though he had never studied chakra for medical purposes, he knew that his chakra should at least be aiding in the recovery of his internal injuries. Kakashi knew that he had enough chakra but for some reason it was being suppressed... The tattoo!

The snake sannin shifted through the darkness carefully. He chuckled, the sound echoing across the dark room. Everything was in place...

You all deserve a real chapter...but...um life is a pain. Sooo anyway I just gave a small teaser.
