Blood and Fire

[Prologue]


The rain was clearing on the battle field. The fighting was done, and the village of Konoha was safe once more, yet there was no relief or sense of victory in Kakashi's heart as he held the limp body of his fallen comrade; Kiba at his side putting pressure on the girl's wounds. He dared to glance at the chuunin for a moment only to re-enforce to severity of the situation.

Tears welled in Kiba's eyes and he desperately tried to hold his friends wounds shut, gritting his fang-like teeth in an attempt not to cry out.

"Kiba," Kakashi said calmly, "you have to find Tsunade. Only she can cure these wounds"

Kiba met Kakashi's eyes, shocked. "But, Kakashi I- the bleeding -" he stammered

"Just do it!" Kakashi's frustration had peeked; there was no time to argue. "I can keep her stabilised myself but not for long. You have a better chance of finding Tsunade in time. If you don't go now she will die!" he cried. Kiba had never seen the Jounin like this. This was beyond bad.

The rain picked up again as Kiba allowed Kakashi's hands to replace his own over the wounds; he rose slowly, taking care not to move the shinobi's broken body. His heightened sense of smell told him Tsunade was close, and he could only hope he would make it in time. It all depended on how long his senior could keep the bleeding under control.

Kiba allowed himself to glance over his friend's body once more, feeling sick as he turned to run. "Kakashi," he said, barely able to control his emotions. "Don't let her die."
