Once the smell reached my nose my heart stopped. It was the scent of my mate's blood and it was a lot of blood.
As soon as my opponent is dead, I run all the way to my mate. Running down the street, I do not hear my name being called or the people running in the same direction. As soon as I turn the corner there is not much around; everything is destroyed.
Once again all I smell is my mate's blood.
Looking around I see what I was looking for. Silver hair was visible from under a pile of timber of the building. Quickly, I use all of my chakra and strength to free him.
"Kashi..." I shake him gently with my eyes tearing up. "Kashi... come on wake up. Remember what today is? ...Kashi?" My tears where freely falling now.
His eyes crack open slowly, eyes going in and out of focus until his eyes catch my face.
"Na...Na..ru...to..." He slowly brings a hand covered in blood up to my face and wipes away my tears. "Take...my...mask...off..." he tells me. I comply, so I can see his smile again. With his hand still on my face, "Naruto... my..love...tell..me...since it...is...my bir..th... day ...do ..you... love... me... my... mate?" he asks, using all his strength to keep conscious.
"Yes... I love you. How could I not love you, the one person who loves me no matter what I say or do?" my voice cracks as I see the life slowly leaving his eyes.
"I...I..'m...gl...glad...that...I-I...got to...hear...you...say...th-that...one...more time.." Kashi says with the last of his strength as he closes his eyes for the last time.
"No..no...no...this can't be happening. Not now...not to day of all days." I start to yell and scream shaking my head back and forth. "Wake up...wake up...wake up you pervert...p-please I-I beg you...please don't leave me."
As I sit there with your body in my lap I look up at the sky wondering about our time that was cut short.
Why is life so cruel?
Why when you find somebody to love dose fate take them from you?
Why did you love me?
Will I see you again in the next life?
Did I put your mind at ease?
As my thoughts slowly stop I say the one thing I wanted to say to him before he died.
"I love you Kashi...Happy Birthday." I whisper into the wind.
