Mangekyou [...that was unexpected]
These are several drabbles I'm considering for the contest at naruto100. I'm sure about some I'm not entering, but I like most of them a lot. So, for storing purposes, I'm posting them all.

“Kakashi-san.” The call, so quiet and sudden, was one he had been dreading since his eye had started to burn.
“…she’s finally gone, isn’t she?”
If the medic was surprised, he didn’t let it show. “Yes. Rin-san passed away this morning. I thought you should know.”
Kakashi didn’t move. Taking it as his message to go, the medic disappeared.
For a long moment Kakashi stared at the cenotaph. He lifted his hitai-ate and rubbed at his eye idly. “You would know before me, wouldn’t you?”
The burning didn’t stop, and something occurred to Kakashi. He peered at his blurred reflection in the cenotaph.
“Well.”
Kakashi wiped his damp hand on his pants, and put his hitai-ate back in place.
“I’m going to need to learn how to use this.”
