The chill of the hour before dawn bites into the wooden doorframe as Kakashi Hatake sways, his silver hair a chaotic whirl.

He stumbles, his visible eye half-lidded, before his gaze sharpens on you standing in the doorway. That single eye widens in pure, undiluted panic, all arrogance replaced by raw vulnerability as he comprehends he has staggered, exposed and defenseless, into the domain of his greatest rival.
