I do not own any of the naruto characters... although if I did I would tie Kakashi up and do naughty things to him :)
Prologue
Sakura hit her knees and picked up the leaf shinobi head band that lay discarded in a pool of blood. It couldn't be true, it just couldn't. And yet, there she knelt with the proof right in front of her.
She wished she had told him just once how she truly felt, just once said those three words that were always on the tip of her tongue. She had always been to much of a coward though. Always afraid of his rejection, but that didn't matter anymore. all the reasons that gave her pause before seemed as weak as she was.
She couldn't stop her tears from falling, or hold in the gut wrenching sobs that burst from her chest. She had never felt loss like this, not even when Sauske had left the village. Now she felt as if she were going to die. She wanted nothing more than to follow him in to that dark abyss.
Sakura felt a hand on her shoulder, vaguely heard a voice say "Sakura-chan, we need to go." she shrugged the hand away. She couldn't move from this spot. she leaned over and picked of a piece of his ripped face mask as the rain began to fall, the water mixing with his blood. It was more than she could take, and the world slowly faded to black.
Sakura woke later that night in a hospital bed. She looked around that cold dark room and recalled all the times she had visited Kakashi in similar rooms. She had even tended his wounds more often than any other medic, because she hadn't trusted anyone else with his safety. The tears started again, silently this time, steaming down her cheeks to drip onto the soft cotton of the hospitals sheets.
"Sakura?" that voice called again, "are you ok? should I call in Ba-chan?"
She looked up to find Naruto sitting in a chair next to her bed. she was shocked that she hadn't noticed him there before.
"No, Naruto, I'm fine," she lied, earning a disapproving look from her best friend.
"I have to be fine."
