Just A Dream

Chapter Two

A week later.

I was numb.

Tsunade took care of planning Naruto's funeral. Everyone around me seemed to know more about my husband then I did.

The morning of the funeral I sat on my bed with our wedding picture in my lap. We looked so happy. My finger traced his face again. I felt the tears coming again. I didnt care anymore. He was gone and had taken everything with him. I was just an empty shell.

A knock on the door.

"Sakura? It's time to go are you ready?" Ino's voice called as she opened the door.

I felt her gaze on my face. Felt her pity.

With a sigh I stood up. "Yes. I'm ready."

Ino smiled sadly at me before linking arms as we walked down the stairs.

Everyone was at the grave site. Something that should of comforted me, knowing that Naruto was loved by many and not just a few.

Right as Tsunade began to speak it started to rain. I was seated in the front row between Ino and Shikamaru. They both held my hands.

I blocked out Tsunades voice as she spoke. Her words cutting me to the bone. Instead I searched the faces of everyone gathered. Looking for the silver hair, the one grey eye of Kakashi.

Finally I spotted him. Standing off by himself. A somber look on his masked face. Suddenly I was angry. He was suppose to protect Naruto. Bring him back to me. In my mind he'd failed both of us.

Finally with the service over everyone started to depart. I sat there. Staring at his cherry wood casket.

"Sakura?" Ino said touching my elbow.

"You go ahead Ino...I'll join you in a minute." I whispered.

Ino nodded and turned to join the others.

I was veguely aware of Kakashi's presents behind me.

"You lied to me." I said simply. "You said you'd protect him. Make sure he didnt get himself killed."

Kakashi stood silently behind me.

"Sakura I-." He started.

I cut him off. "I know. You tried." My voice held so much venom that it startled me.

"You got away without a scratch I see. Saved yourself." I snarled at him. The more he passivly stood there, letting me verbally assult him the more it pissed me off.

"If you would just listen-." He tried again.

"There's nothing you could say that I would listen to Kakashi. You took the only good thing I had in my life. And like your promises you killed him." I said not bothering to hold back my tears.

"It's not what you think Sakura." He said finally.

"Then please fill me in. Because obviously im missing something." I snapped.

"Naruto died to save us. He died to save the village from Sasuke." He said.

I laughed in his face.

"He made me promise to take care of you Sakura." Kakashi said sadly.

I glared at him. "You're lying." I said. He had to be lying. If it was true then that meant Naruto went into battle with Sasuke knowing he wouldnt come out.

Kakashi shook his head.

I felt like someone had ripped the air from my lungs. Why would be do that? Surely there was another way.

"No. He wouldnt do that. He promised he'd come back Kakashi." I said my voice breaking as the sobs came.

Kakashi closed the distance between us quickly catching me as my knees buckled. "He promised!" I whimpered as I cried into Kakashis chest.

"I'm sorry Sakura. I'm so sorry." He whispered wraping his arms around me and resting his chin on the top of my head.
