Staring at it for a second he noticed the attempted grin not flinching or running away. Looking back at the book he spoke up. "I didn't fear that you would eat me. Usually, an animal who hasn't eaten in that long would just flat out attack it's prey. I'm waiting for my students but I suppose I could let you stay at my home. Are you uncomfortable?" He only thought as the panther being simply a gifted animal completely unaware of it's ability to transform into a human. He shut the book lightly placing it in his vest. Reaching up he would pull off his package of bandages. "These could work for padding. I'm sure those rocks don't feel too good on those paws." At that he would approach completely un afraid of the larger animal wrapping each of it's paws. He made sure not to make them too tight but made sure they would stay on. He rose from wrapping the cat's paws hands at his sides. Raising his left hand he made a follow motion slowly heading back towards Konoha.
Seeing the large panther follow close to his side he quietly had his hands to his sides gazing towards the short trek back to Konoha. He had heard the question made by the panther answering as well. "Well, my name would be Hatake Kakashi. Most people either call me Kakashi or if you aren't from around here Sharingan Kakashi." He quietly slid hands into pockets as he caught a strange look from a few passerbyers. Speaking up he gave the panther a pat between the ears simply to show he was faking the animal belonged to him. "Something wrong guys? Just taking her for a walk." The strange looks turned to looks of simple understanding as they continued on. He stopped patting her head speaking up again. "Sorry for that. Didn't want people to hear a talking panther. Who knows what would happen." He simply shrugged slipping his hands back into his pant pockets hair moving once and a while.
Nightshade simply let him pat her, not really caring. She waited for the people to disapear before saying " I don't stay around people from other villages. I lived in an unmarked village far away from here...... I was the only one to survive so I decided to move on. I really don't know what to expect from anyone." She continued to stroll along beside Kakashi, ignoring pacing glances and whispers. " Sorry to cause you trouble, Sharingan Kakashi. I merly need a new home. Then I'll leave you be." The bandages were uncomfortable on her paws but the pain was gone, even though she kept getting sudden urges to kick them off
Kankuro laid on the ground for a bit, and finally regained enough strength to continue. He had left his village to look for Gaara, but ended up in a completely different village. "I... knew I should've packed more supplies..." He said catching his breath. He looked around, the people here wore headbands with an odd circle shape, and a line through it or something, Kankuro really didn't care his head was spinning. He stumbled forward not knowing where he was or what he was doing, he needed to find food. "Does anyone know where anykind of place where food is being sold in this village!" He shouted, as he continued his slow walk through the village...
He continued walking only gving her brief nods as he walked. Hands in pockets he fumbled with a few peices of candy blinking every so often. "So..you are a shinobi then?" He gradually retrieved a peice of peppermint removing the wrapper and placing the peice of candy on his tounge. Turning to her he spoke with his tounge still sticking out. "Vant vone?"
