A/N - Well, I promised you yaoi and... You'll just have to deal with mild straight porn stuff instead ;) Because I don't want to unnecessarily put my characters in an awkward position where they don't know each other enough but have sex anyway (you may need to go elsewhere for that). This is a very special chapter (as you can see by italics), but it is NOT a dream and is only in italics because it's written in third person instead of Iruka's viewpoint! However, writing this chapter without my family seeing was possibly the hardest thing I've ever done, having to change windows every time someone comes so much as an inch too close to your door. It's amazing how many times your mother walks into your room. -_- Well, I hope my effort has kind of been worth it, because, after this chapter, everything kind of kicks off, so, enjoy! =D

Disclaimer - I do not own any form of Naruto or the pairing Kakashi x Iruka (however, the person who did invent it is a bloody genius!)

This is A/N

This is rather exaggerated words and dreams/thoughts etc

This is normal story.

Be warned, I'm English, we like to swear and drink tea (there will be a lot of references to coffee in this fan fiction) -_-

Goodbye My Lover-

Kakashi lay, hand stroking Faith's knee as the credits rolled on the DVD. "That was awesome", he complimented.

Faith's idea of a romantic night in had not been watching Need for Speed 2 and Transformers. But there was still a side to Kakashi that liked his boy films, so she let him feed his male cravings. Just for tonight though. Tomorrow she'd get him back with Titanic.

"Right", she went to get up, having pressed stop on the remote. The room turned icy blue as the DVD options came on screen.

"Ah, ah", Kakashi heaved, straddling her body to the bed with his brute strength.

"Oh Kakashi, no", Faith teased, struggling childishly to break away from Kakashi's manly grip, creasing the bed sheets with her thrashing.

He smiled, allowing the woman in front of him to stop, pause and remove the mask that hid his face most of the day.

"I think it's time this came off". She pulled fabric over the top of his head, watching the man's hair fall perfectly back into place.

Kakashi brushed her chapped lips lightly with his moisture softened own, tasting the dryness with his tongue.

Faith linked her arms around his neck to hold him in place as they kissed, both hungrily and passionately, to the hum of the DVD player. Undoing the man's loose tie, she traced his spinal cord down and circled his hips once, tickling the tip of his hardening cock.

Kakashi caressed her jaw bone with his fingers, slowly trailing down over prominent collarbone and ribs. As his nails drummed over her body, it reminded him of xylophone that made no sound. And as he tested her skin's strength with the palm of his hand, it reminded him of elastic that had lost it's stretch.

Kissing her passionately on the neck, Kakashi found his way to her shoulder, pulling the remainder of Faith's shirt down. He breathed heavily in her ear, prompting a relieved moan from the woman's lips. That alone was enough for the sweat on his forehead to trickle down through his hair.

He pushed against her, adrenaline and lust rushing down towards his pelvis. Thrusting, he groaned into her bare skin, denim scratching between them.

"We can do this", he whispered, licking around the woman's breasts.

Faith only nodded, releasing some of the tension she felt with a strong groan.

Kakashi fingered her clitoris through the fabric barrier, slowly prising the zip of her trousers undone, revealing damper fabric underneath.

He smiled lightly, rubbing his fingertips against silk. "You wore these especially, right?"

Faith giggled softly in the darkness, forcing Kakashi's head closer. "You guessed it", she whispered in return.

Kakashi relaxed as he brought his body, arched, over Faith's, where he began to unbutton his work trousers and shirt.

He managed to steal Faith's t-shirt from her body and fling it aside, making room for his own chest to keep her warm.

Down to underwear, the fabric between his throbbing cock and her slick insides grew thinner. Kakashi thrust harder, willing the silk and cotton to just slip away.

"Condom", Faith groaned, reaching for a packet.

Kakashi snatched it from her and tore the slippery packet open with his teeth. It's hard to think about responsibility in the heat of the moment.

Fidgeting with his pants for less then a second, the condom was in place.

Faith allowed herself to feel up his now lubricated shaft, huddling closer to Kakashi's heat.

Throwing himself forwards, Kakashi removed the remainder of Faith's clothes - being only her underwear - and struggled inside of her.

Warmth and uncomfortable pain pierced Faith's pelvis, and the butterflies in her stomach scattered. Here, now, Kakashi could see everything of her. Her body bared, bones and all. But most of all, he could see her pain.

Kakashi knew it hurt her, and she could tell by the way he refused eye contact that he could sense it. Sex wouldn't hurt if she just... Just...

"I-I can't do it..." Kakashi pulled away, a hand on his brow, still avoiding eye contact.

"Why not?" Faith asked gently, sitting up, her sudden bodily exposure unnerving her brain.

"Look at you". Kakashi pointed at her naked body. "...Your a skeleton..."

Faith looked down at her perked breasts and ribs. "I don't see what's so wrong with it-"

"-Yeah well I do, ok?" He collapsed backwards, breathing heavily, removing the unfilled condom from his cock. "You weren't this bad when I married you".

"It's not my fault-"

"-It's nobody else's fault! Your the one to blame!"

"So I'm the one to blame because I'm going to die?" Faith screamed.

Kakashi crawled closer, reaching for his boxer shorts "...So you've finally come to terms with it... That your going to die".

"I can't avoid it".

"You could have taken better care of yourself..."

"How much longer do you think I have to live, Kakashi?"

"...Not long".

Faith folded her arms across her naked chest. "Thanks... So if I died right now, you wouldn't care?"

"That's not what I'm saying... Of course I'd care! Your my wife! I love you! Why do you think I'm going through all this heartbreak trying to get you to-"

"-I've got a month at most..."

Kakashi froze, the words taking precious seconds to sink in. "...A month?"

Faith nodded, letting her arms drop and the tears fall onto the bed sheets.

"You didn't tell me..."

"I didn't want you to know..."

"Why in god's name wouldn't you want to tell your husband how long you have left to live? ...Your pathetic..."

Faith snarled silently, creasing her face up to try and be brave. "I didn't want to upset you..."

"Well, I'm upset now, aren't I..." Kakashi flung himself next to her on the bed, a tear rolling down his bare cheek.

Faith wiped it away with her thumb.

"Don't. Touch me". Kakashi threatened, rolling onto his side. "I'm not supposed to cry..."

"Kakashi, your not a ninja anymore".

"That has nothing to do with it! I'm a man! Men don't cry!"

"All men cry". Faith lay next to him, sneaking her arm around his waist and pulling herself close.

"I don't want to talk about it..."

"Then don't", his wife whispered, voice muffled by the skin of his shoulder. "Just sleep".

"We can't always leave things till tomorrow... What if one day there isn't one?"

"There will be a tomorrow Kakashi, I promise..."

...

Faith woke, heart pounding and body hot. Her muscles squeezed together painfully in a cramp that felt like it would last forever.

By her side, Kakashi slept peacefully, facing her as she grimaced and writhed in pain.

Legs paralysed, all she could do was lie there and scream silently, hoping the intakes of sweaty air would not wake the man next to her.

Stomach flipping, Faith clawed her face, willing her intestines to settle or else, in the next moment, she was going to be sick.

Cold fever took over, a sweaty mass of heat that shouldn't have been possible in the minus climates outside. Outside. Air. She reached for the window, fumbling for the catchment using just her elbows, checking once again to see if Kakashi was sleeping, urging the window open by pushing against it with the rest of her body weight. She was weak. Too weak.

Bones aching, she slid back, defeated, allowing the heat to reach her brain where it burned at the centre of her forehead.

Panting heavily, Faith dared another look at her sleeping husband, before she bent her neck so far back it could have snapped. A jolt of undistinguishable stinging pierced through her like a wasp, forcing air out of her lungs in the form of a rasp.

"So... This is my time..." She stared at the night sky, at the stars, slipping back down under the covers.

She allowed her blurry, tear filled eyes one last glance at Kakashi, at his peaceful, sleeping face, stroking it gently with her fingertips.

"...Kakashi...?" she choked, gawping at how much the tears stung her face.

With her last ounce of energy, she was going to say it, if it meant these were her last breaths, so be it...

It took seconds, maybe a minute before she found the energy.

"...I-I love you..." Were all she managed to squeeze out of her lifeless, dying lips.

...

Kakashi woke only moments later.

A/N - ... Ok, so it was a TAD dramatic. I think I've only ever seen people die as horrifically as that in Sci-Fi films, but, oh well, what's done is done! Smarties fuelled this chapter, because I needed energy after a deprived day of sugar in the rain (and maybe because I'm a fatty... Joke!) Well, I told you things can start to kick off now... Which they will! Because now Faith's out of the picture, Kakashi and Iruka can get it on ;) Gotta feel for Kakashi though... If he'd woken up seconds before, he might have been able to save her... Ohhhh, I'm harsh! Reviews very much appreciated! Until next chapter, chao for now! xxx
