Don't Go
I ran.
As fast as could.
But it still wasn't enough.
I still couldn't catch up to him.
He's right in front of me.
And yet he's miles away.
Why?!
Why can't I reach him?!
Don't go.
Don't you leave me alone too!
I don't want to be alone anymore!
You filled in that gap.
That gap I've had for so long.
When my father died.
That's when I got it.
When Obito died.
It widened.
When Sensei and Rin died.
I thought there was nothing left of me.
Then I met you.
I got to know you.
We became...
Friends.
And then this.
There has to be a reason.
There has to be!
I have to know!
Tell me...
Tell me.....
Tell me.......
"ITACHI!" I shouted to the figure standing on the stone statue of the first Hokage. I breathed in heavily, the air burning my lungs as they plead for air. The rain poured down on us. Between the rain and the waterfall, it made one deaf, but I know he heard me. He turns to me and looks me in the eyes. Our cold, empty eyes bore into each others. That eye contact is enough to tell me everything. He's not doing this because he can. He's dong it because he has to. Why? Is it a mission, but who would order it? Why would he do such a mission? I begin to approach him slowly, but soon, we were both ambushed. I was knocked down to the ground. I was so exhausted from running and absorbing everything that had just happened in less then an hour and whoever had jumped me had done it hastily and sloppy. When he knocked me down, I bang my head hard on the ground, and now it throbbed. I also felt something warm dripping down my forehead, but I just assumed it was rain. My vision soon got blurry and I reluctantly closed my eyes.
My eyes shot open and the sight of that damn white ceiling pissed my off instantly. I sat up and looked around. The Hokage was standing by the window.
"How are you feeling?" he asked as he turned around.
"What the hell happened?!" I asked a little more forceful then I intended. I put my hand to my head and felt the bandage. "Who the hell jumped me?" I said a little calmer.
"The ANBU did. I sent them after you. It seems though they did not intend of seeing Itachi there as well. That's why you knocked down fast and hard. I ordered them to take you back."
"Why?!"
"Kakashi, you went after someone who killed their entire clan, you–"
"Shut up! He didn't do it! He was forced to!" Did I just yell at the Hokage?
"Forced to? By who, Kakashi?" He asked. He was so calm, how can he stay so calm? He looked at me with sympathetic eyes. "Calm down, Kakashi. Is there something you know?"
I was shaking with anger.
"I-I don't know by who, but I know he didn't do it just because he can or whatever. Someone ordered him."
"Alright Kakashi, I'll look into it," he said and stood up. He headed for the door but stopped, with his hand on the knob and said, "Sasuke is in the room next to you, he's sleeping now and isn't injured. Just a cut on his arm. You may visit him if you like." Then he left.
I could feel myself shaking again, but not with anger, but with fear. Sasuke was here? Right next door? How can I face him? How can I face Itachi's little brother? I couldn't.......and I wouldn't. I laid down and pulled the covers up to my chin. I closed my eyes and soon fell asleep.
I found myself standing in the dark, Itachi was standing in front of me. I watched as he turned around and walked away, soon disappearing into the darkness. Then I realized I was alone, again. I also realized, that the gap inside me has opened wider then ever.
Now I know, it will never close.
