AIC preview
🕑 Added 2021-12-31 02:44:55 +0000 UTCThis is going to be the last AIC of 2021, and the last chapter of AIC part one. Where do you think it’s going to go?
Sunlight was painful. Kakashi grimaced. He ignored the shakiness in his arms and hefted himself up to a seated position. He surveyed the room.
“Well, well.” His voice was raspy and low with disuse. “I appear to be in a medical treatment facility.”
“You remember what they look like, then.” Tsunade, the long-gone heroine of his childhood, looked at him over folded arms. “I hear you don’t spend as much time here as you should.” Her lips were pursed.
Kakashi felt danger in the air. He blinked slowly, trying to look stupid and inoffensive. “Is that so…”
Her eyes narrowed. Then she scoffed and looked away.
He relaxed immensely.
Going limp was probably the right reaction, because she didn’t do anything scary, besides exist in his vicinity.
That was unsettling enough on its own.
“Ah, Tsunade-sama,” he drawled, “are you visiting?”
Her lips twisted bitterly, and he knew he’d said the wrong thing. She let out a huff. “Something like that.” Her eyes darted to the hospital door and back away, as if she was checking they were alone.
A very quiet alarm rose at the back of his neck. He didn’t let it show on his face.
