"Just open your eyes and see that life is beautiful, will you swear on your life that no one will cry at my funeral."
As their zombified bodies turned to dust, my vision became hazy and I collapsed.
"T-take me to camp…" Were the last words I choked out before my body slipped into a deep coma.
I woke up to the slow pulsing of chakra over my body. I looked up to see Sakura and Ino healing me. They were having a conversation about Kakashi.
"He taught us so much… and made every mission entertaining, no matter what the circumstances," Sakura cooed.
"Yeah, but we never got to see what was under that dam mask," Ino replied. "I'm going to miss him…"
"We all are…" A tear rolled down Sakura's cheek. I reached my hand up and wiped it away. "Oh, Naruto. You're okay!"
"Yeah… How long has it been?"
"It's five p.m. You've been out for a whole day."
"And Zabuza and Haku…"
"You sealed them!" Ino said proudly. "Kakashi would be proud."
"I-I'm sure… did you bury him?"
"No, we're holding a memorial here at the camp" Sakura says solemnly. "And then we're going to have a proper funeral at the leaf. When the war ends."
"O-Okay…" I get up, feeling much better that I had when I woke up, but sadness held my heart down. It felt like a thousand pounds in my chest. Sakura helped me get dressed and then escorted me into our small crowd of mourners. They were crowded around Kakashi who was cleaned up and hand folded across his chest. He was pale and thin, but he looked peaceful.
We all spoke small segments of what Kakashi meant to us. Soon I just zoned out from the world. Before I knew it everyone was asleep. That's when I remembered.
"Sasuke comes tonight." I quietly sneak out of the tent, making sure I don't wake Sakura.
I head out towards me and Sasuke's meeting place. My pace was faster than usual; eagerness started welling up inside me. I approach the exact spot, and there in nothing but his sweatpants stood Sasuke.
"I was waiting for you," he said. I started to walk up behind him! "Don't keep me waiting Naruto." I am standing right behind him, my breath coating his neck. He turns around and pulls me into a passionate kiss.
I'm so sorry for the wait; I promise that it won't happen again! I would like to take a moment to thank everyone that has reviewed. We gush over them at school, we love you!
