You'll Never be Alone
A/N: KakaRin oneshot. Kakashi expresses himself to his late female team mate. Surprise pairing at the end. Okay, this is pretty sad, but I do write more humorous stuff most of the time, so I fancied a change. Please R&R.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or any of the characters, so please don't sue me.
Rin.
It's been so long since you died, and I know nothing can bring you, Sensei or Obito back. I know, but it doesn't stop me visiting the memorial almost everyday. It isn't so bad. She sits with me, and she understands.
You once told me I would never be alone, and for the longest time after your death, I thought you had been wrong. But I should have known: you were always right, Rin.
Would you approve of her? She reminds me of you in many ways. She has so much focus, she's bright and vivacious, and she has such a big heart. That girl could love anyone if she set her mind to it.
You didn't deserve an emotionless fool like me: you deserved someone who would have loved you back, like Obito. I never told you, not even once, how deeply I cared for you, how much I love you. But you're at peace now, with Obito and Sensei, perhaps. I regret not making the most of the time we had. I can't make the same mistake again, Rin-chan.
I love her now. I didn't always, that would have been wrong. But now, she is one of the very few things that make my life worthwhile. I think you'd like her. She has a terrifying temper, kind of like you when you got cross with Obito.
However much she is like you, it is unfair of me to compare her to you. You are both completely your own people. I would have loved to have seen what you became when you grew older. Maybe you would have been a healer. Maybe our relationship would have developed…
But it wasn't to be. I'll never forget you, Rin; I want you to know that. I also want you to know you were my first love. I'll always love you, Rin. And I'll always love Sakura, too.
