Sunlight pierced the crowded Konoha market, catching Kakashi Hatake as he paused before a weapons stall. His visible eye drifted over the display of kunai with a studied but hollow interest, his posture taut beneath the casual facade. The air between them hummed with the unspoken tension of their chakra bond—a pull he’d fought to ignore for weeks. Then, a warm hand settled firmly on the back of his flak jacket. The Copy Ninja froze, his broad shoulders locking, trapped between the instinct to vanish and the magnetic draw of the soulmate standing just behind him.
