You Can Let Go Now Daddy

~I only own Katsu~

"Song"

"Katsu"

"Katsu and Song"

~Let the show begin~

Wind blowin' on my face
Sidewalk flyin' beneath my bike
A five year-old's first taste
Of what freedom's really like
He was runnin' right beside me
His hand holdin' on the seat

When I was five my dad bought me my first bike and he said that he would teach me how to ride it…

I took a deep breath and hollered
As I headed for the street
"You can let go now, Daddy
You can let go
Oh, I think I'm ready
To do this on my own
It's still a little bit scary
But I want you to know
I'll be ok now, Daddy
You can let go"

Eleven years later I became an officially became an Akatsuki in training. Soon after I was captured by Konoha ninja. That's where I met the man that I love. Iruka and I loved each other with all we had…

I was standin' at the altar
Between the two loves of my life
To one I've been a daughter
To one I soon would be a wife

When I turned eighteen Iruka asked me to marry him. I said yes, of course. My dad led me down the isle…

When the preacher asked,
'Who gives this woman?'
Daddy's eyes filled up with tears
He kept holdin' tightly to my arm

"Who gives this woman?" Pein asked.

I felt dad's grip tighten a bit. I looked up to him and saw his green and red eyes fill with tears, not letting one fall.

'Till I whispered in his ear
"You can let go now, Daddy
You can let go
Oh, I think I'm ready
To do this on my own
It still feels a little bit scary
But I want you to know
I'll be ok now, Daddy
You can let go"

One day when I was on a solo mission Zetsu came to get me.

"What are you doing here Zetsu?" I asked him. I noticed he had a grim look on his face.

"Katsu" He started. He looked like he didn't want to finish… "It's Kakuzu…"

It was killin' me to see
The strongest man I ever knew
Wastin' away to nothin'
In that hospital room
'You know he's only hangin' on for you'
That's what the night nurse said.

I ran into the hideout as fast as I could. I ran straight to the infirmary, where I saw all of the Akatsuki.

"What happened?" I asked urgently.

"He took on too many ninjas…" Hidan replied. I could tell he was hurting too. "I told that bastard not to get too cocky!"

"Katsu" I looked over to Pein. "We fear that he won't make it." I felt tears coming to my eyes.

"You know he's only hanging on for you…" Konan stated. I looked into the room where my dad was at… I walked in. I walked over to his bed and crawled in it. He looked over to me and smiled weakly.

"Hey baby girl" He said with what little strength he had. I couldn't help but let a couple tears fall. "Don't cry, I'll be all right." He said while wiping away my tears. I held his hand.

My voice and heart were breakin'
As I crawled up in his bed, and said
"You can let go now, Daddy
You can let go
Your little girl is ready
To do this on my own
It's gonna be a little bit scary
But I want you to know
I'll be ok now, Daddy
You can let go
You can let go"

I felt his hand go limp and his eyes closed. I buried my head into his chest and started sobbing. I heard everyone else walk in. I felt Hidan wrap his arms around me and pulled me towards him. I let go of my dad's corpse and latched onto Hidan… He was rocking me back and forth.

"Don't cry, Katsu" Hidan said. "That greedy bastard wouldn't want you to be sad." From the sound of his voice I could tell he was trying not to cry. Even though they hated each other Hidan and my dad were still best friends… I guess that's why Hidan's my God father…
