For a moment like this, so many people have waited a lifetime…

Kakashi.

Kakashi.

Kakashi.

Black eyes snapped open.

Hatake Kakashi sat up on his head and sighed deeply with his head in his hands. Damn it; it was that dream…again.

He lifted the thick cotton covers off himself and walked lazily into the restroom where he turned on the light and proceeded and splash cold water onto himself.

As the water went down the hole, his thoughts raced to collect all the pieces of the dream before they faded.

Soft pink lips the color of cherry blossoms.

Dancing black hair.

Eyes the color of the deep blue ocean.

Kagome.

On the tongue of many, the name sounded so foreign. In his mind, the name came out easily like a piece of melting butter.

"I love you! I have always loved you!"

A 14-year old Higurashi Kagome shouted heatedly at a 14-year old Hatake Kakashi.

The Copy Ninja merely turned sideways and faced her. His lips moved up.

"Sorry, Kagome-chan. My girlfriend and I are going to see Obito. Would you like to come?"

A sullen look crossed her face.

"…I…"

She turned and ran away.

Kakashi's single eye watched her disappearing figure.

The summer leaves rustled as Kakashi walked away and headed to Rin's house.

Dear God, I am so sorry. Please forgive me. Forgive me…please…

The haze disappeared.

"Ne, Kakashi? You don't have to treat me like this, like I am special."

Kakashi looked up, surprised.

"You are special, Rin. To me."

Rin Nohara smiled at her teammate.

"Yes, but I am not the one you really want…am I?"

Kakashi froze.

"Rin…"

The girl turned to face him and gave him a bitter smile.

"You can stop this. All of it…Obito won't mind…"

Kakashi embraced Rin and whispered quietly to her.

"Thank you, Rin. You will always be important to me."

He ran off towards the Higurashi Shrine.

Silent tears slipped down Rin's face.

"Goodbye my first love."

The scene changed with Kakashi at the Higurashi Shrine.

"NOOOOOOOOO!"

"Sakura, calm down!"

"Noooo…it can't be my baby!"

"Please, ma'am…"

Kakashi slowly approached the wailing woman who was Kagome's mother.

She saw him and latched onto his arm tightly, nails digging into his skin.

"Kakashi-kun! Thank goodness you're here!"

Her eyes; they were filled with desperation.

"Tell these men that my baby isn't dead!"

Kakashi frowned and turned to the men. His eye quickly scanned them and saw the symbol of a fan. Uchiha.

"Higurashi-san, if it's Sota you're worried about, I saw him running around with some of his Academy classmates…"

"No! I am talking about my beautiful Kagome! These men…they claim that…that…oh gods, I can't say it!"

"This morning, Higurashi Kagome was found in the Nakano River. Her clothes were in disarray and so we had a coroner check over her…"

"The female coroner was able to confirm that…Higurashi Kagome was…raped…and then asphyxiated to death before her body was tossed into the river."

A gentle breeze blew and the leaves danced wildly.

Flashbacks started coming to him.

A little girl with a red bow.

"Hi! I am Higurashi Kagome!"

Age 7. Kagome tiptoed on her small feet and kissed his right cheek. His face was so red his father laughed all day at him.

Age 10. Kagome bought him a puppy he named Pakkun.

"I love you! I have always loved you!"

Black eyes snapped open and stared into the reflection in the mirror.

Kagome.

If I could go back in time and change what I could, I would…goodbye my one true love…
