Memories of You

Kakashi stared at the pale demon with murder in his eyes. A feeling that normally he suppressed when he felt it, but now burned so deeply in his throat that he could not mask it.

"You are my slave now," Shido growled smugly. "You will become my most faithful servent. You shall learn manners dear Kakashi."

Saku tensed up, fear obviously in her green. She stepped forward.

"It is me you want Shido," she said cooly. "This Kakashi man has nothing to do with this."

Shido's red eyes hardened, his lips curling to a cruel smile.

"My little Saku," Shido said in a mock sweet voice. "Must I show you not to mess in affairs that a slave should not mess with? You foolish wench. Kakashi has chakra levels and powers far beyond that of yours. In fact I think it wise to dispose of you."

Shido's pale body went from smooth skinned to scaly. His abs became muscular like something out of an American super hero comic. He ran at Saku with lightning speed, his body burning with black fire.

Saku got into a stance making various hand signals and her body glowed brilliantly with dark light. She cried out as her body distorted and morphed. In a flash of light a rather large wolf with a cream colored coat appeared in her place. Kakashi couldn't believe he was seeing this.

Then Kakashi realized that if he was cursed too, maybe he could transform as well. He copied Saku's hand signal's and a pure white light appeared. His body burned light it was on fire and he was in the worse pain ever. His chakra was draining from his body. If it continued, he'd die.

"Kakashi-san!" Saku growled. "You gonna kill yourself you damn fool!"

As Saku said this, Shido's claws gripped her neck tightly.

"You're killing my servant, you bitch!" Shido spat. "And now you'll die!"

Kakashi's body disappeared and in it's place a rather large Alaskan Eskimo dog (Which is a white fluffy dog with erect ears and a curly tail) laid there, passed out. Slowly the dog got up, completly drained. Then, seeing Saku (still a wolf) being strangled leaped to it's feet and lunged at Shido using Shirangan to use Shido's dark powers. His jaws clamped down on Shido's throat, chakra energy crackling like lightning. Shido dropped Saku and she changed back into a human. Shido grabbed the dog's neck hide.

"Well well well," Shido mused. "Kakashi takes on the form of a white demon dog..."

Kakashi passed out.

Kakashi dreamed of Rin again. Her touch. Her brown hairs fluttering in the cool spring breeze. Sitting under the cherry tree with her. Teasing her and Obito. Going on missions. Protecting each other. Oh how he loved her. If only she were here to hold him. If he was dead now, Kakashi could be with her. He'd tell her the things he had held back. How he loved her and would protect her better this time.

But dreams like this, while beautiful, are nothing but simply dreams. Shadows of things that once were and never will be again. But Kakashi longed to be lost in the dream.

"Rin," he said softly to her dream like image. "I'll stay with you forever. I have nothing left to live for but this moment."

Rin's eyes were kind but sad. Her face more beautiful than he remembered.

"It's better if you go back," she said softly.

"No!" Kakashi said. "I need you!"

Rin reached out and wiped a single tear from Kakashi's eye.

"You're the only one who can kill Shido," she said. "You must kill him before he destroys everything. Now go back. I promise I'll be with you right here."

She reached out and placed her hand on his chest where his heart is. Then slowly she faded into the shadows and Kakashi was alone, her touch still lingering where her hand had been.

"I promise I'll kill him," Kakashi said as light surrounded him. He blinked back the light. He could see a girl. He was not awake so he thought Rin had come back to be with him. Disappointment was etched on his features as his dreams revealed a girl with blonde hair and green eyes.

"Who are you?" Kakashi asked.

The girl smiled. Somehow, even in his sleep, Kakashi felt almost safe in the presence of this misterious girl. She wore a long flowing kimono and had a katana at her side.

"You know me," she said softly reaching out for him. "I am everything yet nothing. An image of you. They call me Saku..."

Kakashi felt compelled to reach to her, but darkness once again closed in. Would Kakashi be able to keep his promise with the darkness so prominant? He didn't know and didn't care. He just longed for Saku's safeness and Rin's love. The pain ultimately awoke him.
