We As Fathers
What were you thinking? What in the world were you thinking? Didn't you love him? Wasn't he right there watching you, doesn't he love you? Loved you. Loves you. What were you thinking, sir, when you cut everything short, ended it all because you couldn't move on right then, right there in front of him. In front of your son. Your child. Your baby. The hell were you thinking as he watched you die, as you betrayed his trust? Destroyed the only thing he had in this world, everything he had. All of it in one stab. Selfish. Did you think? What could you think as you looked into the eyes you gave him and realized you weren't only killing yourself? I know. I'm being harsh. I understand now. I know what you were thinking. It's too late to cry. That's what we realize. It's too late to cry, as your eyes shut for the last time and suddenly, you're not sure you wanted them to. It's what I'm thinking. I'm going to kill him again. Betray what's left of his trust. I was mad at you for hurting him, but you knew it right before you died too. And I'm bleeding, not his blood, but someone's, just as you bled his. And just like he did, my blue eyes are watching me. And I destroy him. Destroyed him. Destroying him. My baby and not mine. I won't hold you like a father, but I'll hold you like pain. My baby. I'm sorry. Sakumo. Kakashi. My little one. What was I thinking?
