I crouched down in the shadows in front of the Hokage tower, sweat began to drip down my forehead, under my Anbu mask. It seeped down into my other mask, the mask I wore every day. I didn't dare give any signs that I was here. Glancing to my teammate I nodded towards the top of the Hokage tower. He nodded back and leaped into the building. I had my kunai ready spinning on my fingers. Waiting for movement of any kind.
Something shifted in the trees, I waited. Perhaps it was someone from the leaf. My waiting gave them an opening. Several kunai whizzed past my head. I've been spotted. I darted to the tree nearest my self. Avoid more kunai in the process. I waited until I saw more movement. The kunai attacking me came from several directions. When a twig snapped on of the trees surrounding mine, I sent a kunai spinning through the air.
I hear the splitting of flesh and the gasp of air and I knew I hit my target. I jumped to another tree to throw off my attackers. They sent a couple of their weapons to where I was. I went lower to the ground. My eyes remaining on the Hokage tower. An image of my team flashed into my head. As if I was in a daze memories of them came flooding to my mind. I was snapped out of it when I saw someone jump from tree to tree in front of me. I nodded to my teammate in the tower, protecting the Hokage herself.
She was a strong woman, able to defend herself from many things. But yet here we were. Anbu, protecting the Hokage. It was our duty and we did it with out protest. We held our ground. From behind me, I heard another snap. It was a trap. The enemy ran in front of me to distract me from those who were about to attack behind me. I spun around send several kunai through the air I hit the one behind me, sending him to the ground with a thud. From the corner of my eye, I saw my teammate jump from the railing of the building and land on the branch nearest mine.
He pointed to my left. I nodded to him and headed that way. He went in the opposite direction. We had found the enemy and now we were standing silently behind them. Our eyes were on the Hokage tower. So were theirs. I looked toward my teammate as if asking permission to attack. I don't know why I did it. I was the leader of the team and I called the shots. Several of my kunai went through the air and into the enemy's back. They were on the ground and then I realized that was to easy.
Someone attacking the Hokage wouldn't be so easy to take down. We had to look at the bigger picture. I mentally zoomed out. I was attacked at the Hokage tower, again from a different angle in the trees. Before my mind got grasp of what was going on my body was traveling through the woods to the tower. I glanced at the Hokage on my way through her office. There was no sign of fear in her eyes. The same milk chocolate eyes, that on any other day would send me flying across the village for arriving unexpectidly.
I dashed through her office and out the other side. I stayed out of the moon's light and hid under the rock that was closest. By the time my mind caught up I was about to attack yeat another enemy. I waited. For him to notice me. He eventually did. He was charging towards the Hokage's office. I leaped forward. We collided in the air. The kunai that was in my hand ended up being in his throat. I felt something cold penetrate the cloth of my uniform.
I felt the blood seep out of my stomach as we slid into the Hokage's office. My back slid across the cold floor and the weight of the enemy began to crush my ribs. Tsunade-sama pulled the enemy off with a single toss. My eye lids began to get heavy. I knew that the kunai was poisoned. I fought to keep my eye lids open. My head began to spin. I swore it felt as if I was being dragged out of my own body. My stomach wound stung. I couldn't speak.
"Kakashi. Don't you dare die on me!" She stripped off my vest and shred my shirt. I attempted to look down, the wound was open and the flesh near the wound was beginning to turn black and purple. I could see The expression on Tsunade's face go from "ok now I have to save him" to "oh my god what do I do". I could see her mentally freak out. Her nose scrunched up and her eye brows furrowed. It would be cute any other time. If I wasn't dying I would have laughed. The pain began to attack me again. My eyes closed.
My stomach began to burn. I could feel her begin to pull out the poison. She worked wonders. She was the greatest medic nin I knew. I could picture her face, it was etched in my mind. Her blonde hair draping over her shoulders. Her eyes focusing on my wound. The way her body was positioned I wouldn't mind it, if I could feel the lower half of my body. Being the pervert I am I prayed that it wouldn't stay this way for the rest of my life.
I couldn't stand to open my eyes. The pain was to much. My body hurt to move. Even thinking began to be painful. It hurt to breathe, my lungs burned and my ears rang. I was about to die and I knew it. Then I opened my eyes and looked into her milk chocolate eyes, the eyes of my savior. My angel in the darkness.
