25 days of Winter Cheer

Prompt: Thinking Of You

As Kakashi surveyed the area around him he was scribbling on a small ripped piece of paper. He shoved it into a glove, placing them into a small gift box. He called on his summon, taking another moment to tie the box closed.

"Same as the last," Pakkun asked staring at his master.

"Yes, and try to make it secret." Kakashi said as his visible eye closed into the assumed smile of his.

Pakkun grumbled something under his breath as he grabbed the box by its ribbon and disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Kakashi laughed a little at his summon, they were his family so of course he loved tormenting them once in a while with menial tasks. He didn't need them on this mission much, that is unless something went wrong. He hated Tsunade so much at this point, he was doing a regular infiltration and spying mission. Anyone could do this…well that is anyone could do this part of it, but if for any reason he was discovered or found out information that he'd need to take immediate action on, there were very few that could take his place.

He'd gathered the necessary information that Tsunade required, except one detail. And to nobody's surprise that detail was the most important.

Kakashi sat there for days deciphering everything that was said hoping that he'd missed it in coding that they'd been using, but he had no luck.

After another day Kakashi listened to the drone of the men, having just sent another gift to Iruka there was nothing for him to keep himself busy while listening.

Almost like a dog his ears perked up as he heard them discussing that last piece of information that he needed. He'd gotten the last piece of information that he wanted just as a puff of smoke appeared in front of him.

A letter was dropped in his lap as Pakkun began to chew him out.

"At least he gave me a treat, but do you think the two of you could stop using me as your convoy for now?" He barked out as softly as he could. Pakkun was annoyed with his master, but he knew what was important to keep that man safe right now.

"I can't keep that promise, but looks like we should be able to go home now anyway." Kakashi replied as he went over the notes he needed to take back as his mission.

Everything was taken care of, and he was told to come home as soon as he had everything. He sat still as he watched the men depart the area, looking down at the letter that had been dropped into his lap.

He unfolded it and read what it said for him, his visible eye smiling softly.

AN: Same timeline as yesterday's, but from Kakashi's POV.
