Without a sound I took her down
and dressed in red and blue I squeezed
Imaginary wedding gown
That you can't wear in front of me
A kiss goodbye, your twisted shell
As rice grains and roses fall at your feet
Lets say goodbye, the hundredth time
And then tomorrow we'll do it again
Tomorrow we'll do it again
Re-instated back into ANBU, Kakashi looked as the person he just killed through the eye-slits of his wolf mask. He started to feel the softest twinge of his heart of guilt. He just shook his head, thinking it was just because of his ex-students, the team that split up. He took a look at the man whose blood was seeping over his fiancé's wedding dress. Ignorance truly is bliss. If he didn't know so many of Konoha's secrets, he would be alive and getting married.
I dragged her down I put her out
And back there I left her where no one could see
And lifeless cold into this well
I stared as this moment was held for me
A kiss goodbye, your twisted shell
As rice grains and roses fall at your feet
Let's say goodbye, the hundredth time
And then tomorrow we'll do it again
Kakashi stood outside of sleeping Sakura's room. She was getting married soon, wasn't she? He couldn't help but think of the man he killed, his body and blood all over his wife's wedding dress. Sakura's a shinobe. That might happen to her. The hell it won't.
I never thought it'd be this way
Just me and you, we're here alone
And if you stay, all I'm asking for is
A thousand bodies piled up
I never thought would be enough
To show you just what I've been thinking
Sakura subtly opened her eyes to see an ANBU member outside her window. Oh no, please, it can't be, not Kiba, he promised! Sakura flew out of bed and wrenched her window open. The ANBU member looked startled, and removed its wolf mask, only to be revealing an infamous black skin mask that covered all the way to the nose.
And I'll keep on making more
Just to prove that I adore
Every inch of sanity
All I'm asking for is, all I'm asking for is
"Oh, Kakashi-sensei, you scared me." she said as the silver-haired nin made its way through the window. "What about?" "I thought Kiba was in trouble."
These hands stained red
Kiba? Oh shit. That's who she was going to marry. But he's… a couple days ago. Has no one come back to tell her? "Sakura… Kiba isn't coming home."
From the times that I've killed you and then
We can wash down this engagement ring
With poison and kerosene
We'll laugh as we die
And we'll celebrate the end of things
With cheap champagne
Sakura's hand was shaking as she poured herself a glass of sáke. She finally gave up and just put the bottle to her lips and downed the contents.
Without, without a sound
Without, without a sound
And I wish you away
Without a sound
And I wish you away
Kakashi just simply didn't know what to say or do. He hadn't talked to Sakura for so long, and he was never close to her to begin with. He left her silently through the window whence he came.
Without a sound, without a sound
And I wish you away
Sakura dropped the empty sáke bottle and searched for another.
Without a sound, without a sound
And I wish you away
Night was gone and before she knew it Ino was pounding on her door. Sakura answered in her pajamas, mussed hair, puffy-red eyes, and half a bottle of sáke in her hand. "Sakura, Sakura what's wrong with you!" Ino shouted but for response Sakura just shut the door in her face.
Without a sound, without a sound
And I wish you away
Sakura traced Kiba's name on the memorial stone. Akamaru was saved, but he wanted to die just as much as Sakura did. But Kakashi was there. He helped her salvage herself. He fought death away for her.
