Ah, a shortly stupid random drabble that came into my mind when thinking of the story Playing God by Moodiful819. Give Moodiful all the credit for being such an amazing writer! I don't own the characters. enjoy!
God's Chokehold
"Kakashi-Sensei", Sakura said one day, "What if Sasuke-kun never comes back to Konoha?"
He assuaged her fears, saying simply, "He will return, so don't lose hope." And Sakura believed him.
"Kakashi-Sensei", Sakura said one day, "Do you think that Naruto-kun will be able to bring Sasuke-kun back?" He thought of how slim the chances were that Sasuke was not already dead and smiled at her to hide his uneasiness.
Kakashi said, "Of course he will, Sakura. Never doubt in the strength of your teammates." And Sakura believed him.
"Kakashi-Sensei", Sakura said one day, "Why should I believe everything you tell me?"
"Sakura, do you trust me?" Kakashi asked. She nodded, her strawberry hair flitting back and forth. "Then you can trust in what I tell you." And Sakura smiled because she believed him.
And so on the day that Sakura received the news of Sasuke's death at the hands of Orochimaru, he watched her shatter before his eyes. He watched her break down, and said nothing. And then she turned her jade green eyes his way, and it hurt so much that he had barely been able to breathe. It was the guilt choking him, controlling him. He could almost feel the invisible fingers wrapped around his throat.
Breathe in, breathe out.
Kill, murder, be killed. He's dying, and he knows it. He is scared, but not for his own life. He's afraid that because he is dying he will not be able to help Sakura anymore, nor make up lies to see her happy. And the guilt returns at this instant when he realizes all that he's done. Things that destroyed her rather than helped her. And knows right then and there that he definitely had no right to be playing God for Sakura.
He hears a familiar voice.
Breathe in, Breathe out.
"Kakashi-Sensei! Don't worry, everything is going to be just fine!" It is Sakura, of course.
"How ironic..." Kakashi thinks to himself. Now Sakura had taken it upon herself to play God for him?
Breathe in, breathe out.
He feels warmth.
Breathe in, breathe out.
And he can literally feel himself being dragged back to his dreamland from death by an emerald-eyed, pink-haired girl.
Kakashi thinks while in dreamland, and suddenly realizes that perhaps people can be God in more ways than one. And that maybe his God happened to have pink hair and emerald eyes.
