I do not own Naruto or any characters associated with said anime. This is just something random I decided to write in the few seconds I had to spare while cooking Easter supper. Collaborated with author InMyWishes.
I have led the children to safety, one by one, every night. Since the discovery of my lover's plan to kill his family, I have secretly alerted the village. The Uchiha Clan is in terrible danger...
The day was cold and hazy with rain. Kakashi ran as hard as he could, the raindrops stinging his face. He panted loudly, desperately trying to reach the Uchiha Clan before it was too late.
Please don't do anything stupid before I get to you, my love, he thought to himself as he entered the village. Kakashi hurried to the center of the village, hoping for a clue to lead him in the right direction. The wail of a child came to his ears from the right. That was the clue he was waiting for.
Kakashi darted off again, the shadow of the man he loved looming in front of him. His lover's arm was raised, a kunai in hand, ready to strike the child at his feet.
"ITACHI! NO!" Kakashi screamed. He pulled the only remaining child in the village away. She ran off, crying hysterically.
"What do you think you're doing, you fool?" Itachi hissed.
"You don't have to do this, my love." Kakashi reached out his hands to embrace his lover. Itachi stepped back.
"Yes... I do."
"The grudge you've held all this time is meaningless. Please, don't do what you know you'll regret." Kakashi dropped to his knees, grasping Itachi's hands in his own. He placed his face in his lover's palms, crying openly. "Don't do this... for our sake, Itachi, don't kill your family."
