Kakashi stood opposite the intruder, sweat poured from his brow as he pressed a hand to the steadily bleeding wound to his ribs.

"...I'm not going to fight you..." he panted. His opponent pulled out another kunai, face calm as death.

"...Then...you will die..."

Kakashi's vision began to blur. '..poison Kunai huh?'

The stranger began to charge him again, there was a loud clang and the Kunai went flying, Izanami stood in front of Kakashi, sword in hand.

"...No..." her eyes went wide. "...Mother...?"

Akebara stared back at them with cold unfeeling eyes.

"...Be careful, Nami-chan...There's something wrong with her..." Kakashi warned.

"...Yeah and I think I know what..." Izanami snarled sheathing her sword. "Oi you, you were told not to fight me, right?"

"I am under orders to kill Hatake Kakashi, but I am not allowed to harm you in anyway" Akebara replied stoically.

"You mess with him you mess with me! Go back and tell that to your master!" she shouted. Akebara eyed her for a moment before vanishing in a blur.

"Are you alright?" Izanami asked, kneeling at Kakashi's side.

"...She poisoned me..." he coughed.

"Here..." she said, pulling out a antidote pill.

"...I'm...not sure I can swallow...pass it through your mouth..." he gasped.

"Now I know your fine..." she rolled her eyes.

"...It was worth...a try..." He gasped. Izanami gazed at him for a moment, she popped the pill into her mouth. Tugging down his mask, she kissed him deeply, using her tongue to push the pill into his mouth. Kakashi's eyes widened with shock. She pulled away, taking a breath.

"...You...didn't have to do that..." he began.

"...She could have killed you..." she whispered.

"But she didn't" he said firmly.

"...I love you, Kakashi...if anything happened to you..." Izanami began, her eyes tearing up. He pulled her into a fierce embrace.

"...Nothings going to happen to me. I love you, I love our children, not even death could drag me away"

Izanami buried her face in his chest, taking comfort in his closeness.
