What do I do? What do I do? Damn it!

"Sakura, just tell me," Kakashi said loudly as he saw her eyes beginning to dim. "Sakura don't you dare!" he softly shook the palm cradling her cheek. "Just tell me what to do, Sakura. Stay with me, don't fall asleep right now I need-" he choked as his shaking hand was dyed in crimson around her own hands. "Sakura, damn it!"

Kakashi helplessly looked around the rubble surrounding them. Bodies littered the forest floor, wet from the rain and spilled blood of both enemies and allies. He didn't know what to do. He was honestly lost in this field.

Damn it all to hell. Why is it always these hands?

These hands - hands that were cradling her gradually fading form - have never failed to kill. They were trained to hurt, to spill blood, to kill. Now the only thing he wanted was the opposite. He wanted it to heal, to halt the pain, give life.

The kunoichi quirked a tiny smile, "You're always loud around me huh, I wonder why?" she closed her eyes and whispered, "Damn. I would've loved to research as to…why."

"Open your eyes!" the man yelled and Sakura furrowed her eyebrows as she squinted at the man. "You'll be fine and you'll get to research this, alright? Just hold on…please!"

"Ne, Kakashi," she breathed and the man directed his glazed eyes on her pale face, shaking and inevitably at the verge of crying. The woman's hand slowly raised towards his face, her index finger poked his forehead and traced down slowly to the tip of his nose and stopped there. Kakashi's face paled and his hand seized hers as she held his stare albeit the startling white blur invading her vision.

With her hands in his, he tightly closed his eyes as to stop the sting of tears and placed her hand on his cheek and wetly chuckled, "I knew you read the damn book, you liar."

Sakura softly laughed as she closed her eyes from the warm raindrops on her face. Her mind conjuring up that scene...

The ill lover poked his head with her index finger, "You're silly." She grinned and slowly, intimately moved her finger down to his nose, "You're beautiful inside and out you know?" she grinned and softly poked the tip of his nose "That's why I love you so much."And proceeded to sit up to kiss him.

Except she never sat up.
