Feeling the press of his foot, heavy against his cheek and pressing him even more into the mud-... It was a feelign of inferiority he hadn't expect to feel.. ever. The Anbu mask was cracked, reacealing his face after the last blow he had gotten, which had made him stumble and fall... Bringing him into this vulnerable position with a man looming over him, that he wasn't prepared to fight.

... The first time that he wasn't seeing through a tactic... the Jutsu... or even the type of battle they lead.

Kagami's body felt like lead, is if he had been injected with some sort of sedative that circled quick through his system, it must be something strong that it was able to knock him down this easily.. Impressive and scary... Trying to move proved to be impossible, his body wasn't listening to any command he gave.

   He could recall bittersweet summer days, the swell of heat of the afternoons had always broke sweat upon his back when sparing, and how Obitos attacks never changed, leaving his left flank forever open. To what credit he had owed that simple fact during the 4th shinobi war. And yet, anger had coiled itself in knots among the length of his hidden brow line, creating tension that had burned his overworked nerves. For as similar as he had been to the friend he had known amongst his fleeting memories, nothing had remained of what was -- only the dream he had possessed now twisted and bent to a moral reflection that didn't fit into Obito’s original shape. Mirrored only to compliment that of Mandara.

  Forceful yet languid was a sigh that emitted itself through a nose masked as hands worked to adjust the crutch placed under his arm. Kakashi didn’t want to begin thinking of all that needed repairing or built from the destruction, desiring nothing more than to spend his remaining freedom recovering and searching for the friend concealed behind the tower of hatred that had been wrought during the years separated. Now a task he could see now was more difficult than the idea itself.
