Hatake Kakashi, also known as Copy Ninja Kakashi and Kakashi of the Sharingan, stood before a black stone with the Konoha symbol above many, many names. His eye drifted from one name to another; Uchiha Obito. Namikaze Minato. Uzumaki Kushina. Rin. Sarutobi Hiruzen. And… a final name made itself known in his mind, impressed in his vision over an empty space on the stone.

Hatake Sakumo.

Father… I'm sorry I never said that I am actually proud of you. I wish I could tell you now… He thought as he continued to stare at the stone, but if one looks at his eye it is as if he is seeing past it, into a time long since past… Indeed, as he continued to look at the stone, he thought of this lifetime and one before this existence. With those thoughts, a few more names placed themselves on the stone after his father's;

Lily Potter nee Evans

James Potter

Cedric Diggory

Harry James Potter…

A tribute to times that should have been let go of, but he never was one to forget the past and let it lie. Faces of those he left behind and those that left him behind flashed through his mind, as clear as the first day he saw them.

Hermione… Ron… Sirius… Rin… Obito… Sensei… Hokage-sama… Kushina… He regrets went on, but a presence making itself known behind him withdrew him from his depressing thoughts.

"Maa… ANBU-san, is there anything you need from me?" Kakashi said, not even turning around.

"Hai," The ANBU replied, their voice distorted by a seal on the white porcelain mask. "Godaime-sama wishes to speak to you, now."

Kakashi sighed and turned his face up to the sky.

"Hai… Tell her I'll be right there." He answered.

The ANBU nodded, not that he could see it and then vanished via shunshin. Kakashi bowed his head one more time, eye shut with a quick prayer to guide the souls that left and the ones left behind before shunshining himself.

A couple minutes later, he entered the Hokage's office through the window, ducking just in time to avoid a sake cup thrown at where his head had been. In reply he eye-smiled at the woman at the desk, Senju Tsunade the Godaime.

"Maa… You wished to see me?" He said, heading to the other side of the large wooden desk across from her.

Tsunade sighed and rubbed the bridge of her nose, knowing no matter what she said her more eccentric shinobi would never use the door like a normal person. Turning serious and consequently causing Kakashi to straighten up and turn serious himself, she leaned forward on the desk, folding her hands together.

"Hai." She replied, "There have been strange chakra spikes appearing and vanishing all over Konoha. We have reports from other villages saying the same only theirs vanished before moving onto the next village until finally they reached here. I need you to grab your other outfit and a team to search for what is causing this. The other villages have their own ANBU searching as well."

Kakashi nodded and caught the white and red porcelain dog mask she threw him. Or he would have if he hadn't stumbled.

Shakily he raised a hand to his face as nausea and black spots in his vision assaulted him. Crashing into the desk as it got worse and his heart beat grew louder and louder in his ears drowning out Tsunade as she cried his name in concern. He fell to the floor and black almost completely filled his vision. His last view of his world was Tsunade leaning over him, her mouth moving as she called for help and tried to find out what was happening to him. Then, all of his senses shut down, leaving him to unconsciousness.

Tsunade was panicking, Kakashi had been standing before her desk when she tossed him his ANBU mask only for him to suddenly stiffen mid-reach and his eyes grow unfocused as a strange foreign chakra flared precisely where he was standing. His arm reached for his face and his other to reach out for her desk to steady himself as he stumbled only to miss and fall to the ground, crashing into her desk sending paper flying into the air.

"Kakashi!" She cried, jumping over her desk to see if he was alright and find out what happened. She gathered him into the crook of her arm and covered her free arm with green healing chakra to diagnose him. His single eye was unfocused but she could see him struggle to stay conscious as he shuddered and his temperature skyrocketed from what she could tell through his clothing. "C'mon Kakashi! Stay with me!" As his eye began to flutter and slide closed, she cursed and shouted, "Curse it all! Get the healers in here!"

As his shudders subsided just as quickly as they came when he finally passed out, something she thought was impossible happened. Kakashi's body began to fade away. Her eyes widened in surprise.

"No! Kakashi! Damn it! What's going on here?" She cried, clutching him closer to him until finally, he vanished completely.

In an unknown place filled with smoky darkness, Kakashi blinked his eye as his awareness returned. He looked around, seeing nothing but darkness and realized that he was floating. Twisting his body, he began to float in a slight battle ready position. His eye scanned the darkness, seeing nothing and feeling it best he reached up to pull up his headband to reveal the Sharingan.

"There is no need for that…" Came a voice, echoing in the darkness. "You are merely in the between of worlds."

Kakashi's eye narrowed.

"And why am I here? I thought I was going to stay in that other world as my 'reward'". He replied with forced nonchalance.

"Ah, so you remember me." The voice replied. He could almost hear their amused smirk. "You are here because many in your old world do not believe that your job is done. I am afraid that I can not block them for long; Magic has no choice but to pull you from there to here as she has been commanded to. However, there is nothing saying that you can not find a way back home. I have also deemed it necessary to give you all you need from your world. Magic has agreed to help with this." A sparkle appeared before him, shaping itself into a ninja pouch. "This pouch holds all your weapons and some personal items and scrolls from your home with an undetectable extension charm, feather light charm, and was made so only you could access it. Also, it has only been a few months since you left their world. It is July 31st. This is all I can do for you."

"Maa, I guess there's nothing to it." Kakashi replied, relaxing his stance and grabbing the pouch to place on his belt next to his other pouches. "Will my ninken be able to at least move between the worlds? I may need them to pass on messages."

"Yes, that shall be granted to you. Good luck Hatake Kakashi, once known as Harry James Potter…" With that, the voice faded away and a purple summoning circle spread out from beneath his feet, pulling him into a world he had hoped to leave behind…


A/N Anyways, that the best I could do with that for now so, I hope you like it. If you have any suggestions to make this chapter better, I am completely open to them so R&R. The next chapter is going to take awhile cause it's not coming out quite the way I want it to. If you have any ideas of how you would like the Summoning to go, let me know. ^-^ Hope you liked it! Reminder to flamers and extremely rude people; Your flames and rude reviews will be displayed in public with my answer. ^-^ Good ahead and post 'em if you feel like it. I have been quite bored lately. ^-^
