PARADISE is a porn novel

[The sounds of paper being carefully, methodically ripped from a book one page at a time, as if trying to preserve it. Shiori "grrrr"s slightly in the background, gnawing on something.]

Hey, don't eat that chapter.

Here.

Eat that one. I die in that one.


[[...what happened to the hiatus I was supposed to be on? D=]]

[Kakashi is holding one of his (now many) pornographic books, but it's the same old orange cover he's most known for having. He enjoys his favorites, after all. His voice is tired sounding, the usual boredom, and slightly curious as he looks over the cover to the PCD he's just turned on.]

Anyone happen to have a roll of duct-tape handy? I need enough to bind someone to a chair for a while. [He smiles slyly behind his mask.]
Mmm...Maybe even a little left over for his mouth, so he won't protest too much.




Oh, and Naruto...I've posted.  [A pause.]  ...Just so you know.


[[ooc: Take this as kinky as you want. In reality, Kakashi's miffed because Obito is trying to test the limits of his recovery by trying to stand, and Kashi's afraid his bestie will injure himself further. So he's threatened to tie Obito to his wheelchair. Or tape him, as the case may be.  I apologize, Naruto.  I don't think this is what you wanted when you asked your sensei to post, hm? >D]]

[ Part of this was a message sent to Naruto-mun about Naruto's present. The other part is just junk about Kakashi reacting to giving the gift. It's not a log because of the way the gift was given, but Kakashi wouldn't actually TELL anyone about all this, so it can't be a journal entry...and I had to store it somewhere. ]


Naruto's place the morning of the 11th

There is a knock at the window to Naruto's room, but no one is there when anyone comes to inspect it. Instead, there is a slim package wrapped in brown paper sitting on the window ledge--INSIDE Naruto's room. The package has Naruto's name on the front in a black sharpie marker.

Inside the wrapping is a framed photograph and two post-it notes. The frame is simple, unfinished wood--the kind one might buy to decorate from a craft store. The post-its are basic yellow and written on in a blue-ballpoint ink. The writing isn't neat, but is legible.

"Found this photo laying around in my book. Apparently I was using it as a bookmark. Thought you might like it."

"I know it's not much.
Happy Birthday, Naruto.
-Kakashi-sensei"

The worn-out photo is of the future Yondaime (Namikaze Minato) and his student Hatake Kakashi. Kakashi still has both his original eyes. He looks...baffled at the gesture of affection shown by his sensei--a simple ruffle of his hair.

The Gift itself.


Kakashi goes home and worries over whether his choice of present is the right one for Naruto. Hopefully it is full of more happiness than sad, but he can't be sure anymore. Naruto's parents are a sensitive issue for the kid and again, Kakashi wonders if it was the right idea. It seemed right at the time, but he is never sure of his judgment on emotional things. He also wonders if he was really ready to part with the picture...

But, well, what's done is done. Seems he needs to look for a new bookmark...

[[ooc: I may be overplaying my hand here with this scene.*shrugs.* Kakashi only gets one voice from the past scene from me, and he hasn’t had a journal entry in a while, so I had to make it a whopper. Regardless, for those unfamiliar with the story of Naruto and/or Kakashi-Gaiden (back-story), this may be a mess. For those familiar, I hope this achieves its desired effect and is not nearly as clumsy as it sometimes felt when writing it.]]

[The view through the video feed of the PCD is as if down a darkened corridor with a bright light at the end, Kakashi’s form obscuring part of this, and it backlights his hair in an odd silhouette. Judging by the skewed perspective on Kakashi’s hand—seen reaching toward the camera—and on his face (which is looking faintly miffed down the “corridor” at the PCD), the device has fallen behind something and Kakashi has been thus far unsuccessful in his lackluster attempts to fish it out. Considering he hasn’t been trying hard to retrieve the device, one might guess the audio memories haven’t been playing long. Kakashi sighs and rests his forehead on the wall.]

[Against the backdrop of Kakashi’s frustration is the haunting echo of a baby crying. It sounds pained and lonely, crying out for a mother or father who is not there to hold it. Such a pitiful sound, relentless, as most babies’ cries, but this one sounds especially tortured…as if the soul is facing demons within.]

( …Don’t know how much time has passed. All I know is that it feels like forever… )
