Sun and Moon's Love
Naruto had team four in front of him. Katsumi was on the right; Shoji on the left, in the middle was Rima. They were all very nervous because the Hokage never asked to see them personally.
"S-Sir are we in trouble…?" Rima asked.
"No, none of the sort." Naruto replies.
"I have called you here today to be the bearer of bad news…" Naruto says with a frown.
Rima raises an eyebrow; Katsumi crosses his arms over his chest. "I am sorry to have to be the one to tell you this, but your Sensei… Mitzuki Yamanato… is no longer… she has been K.I.A in her mission to find her sister…"
Rima begins to shake, her eyes are wide, Katsumi's eyes reveal shock, Shoji dropped his bag of chips, they scattered on the floor.
"I am terribly sorry." Rima runs out of the office, Katsumi's eyes widen he bows at the Hokage and runs after her, Shoji begins to cry, he doesn't care if he is a man, he sheds his tears for his Sensei.
"Rima hold up!" Katsumi shouts. She finally stops at the end of the dark corridor, it is abandoned no one ever goes down there; it's so dark it's really cold and unwelcoming.
"K-Katsumi-Kun…" Rima sobs out, she hugs herself and slides down the wall, he sighs and kneels in front of her, she cries into his arms, he embraces her and tightens his grip; he kisses her head.
"She's… our Sensei is in a better place… besides aren't you happy… that she managed to complete her mission…?" Katsumi questions.
Rima nods slowly, but that doesn't stop her tears. He holds her until she lets it all out, soon all that's left is dried tears; she fell asleep on his shoulder due to exhaustion. He gently picked her up, she dangled in his arms; he disappeared with her in his arms in a mist of some sort.
NaNa was sitting in the grass of team one's training grounds; she was meditating, when she felt a familiar chakra presence. She stopped and stood up, NaNa turned around and saw Shoji standing off to the side looking all sad, her eyes widened, she teleported right in front of him, she put her hand to his cheek; he held her hand there and leaned into her touch.
"Shoji-Kun what's wrong?" NaNa questioned.
"M-My Sensei… she's…" Shoji begins, NaNa urges him to continue with a squeeze to his shoulder.
"She's dead…" Shoji finishes, NaNa's eyes widened, she remembers the crazy Sensei who was so fun and cool. NaNa's eyes water, she embraces Shoji and coos at him, her finger's tangle with his shaggy brown hair, they walk to the Oak tree in the middle of the training grounds, he leans against her shoulder and stares off into space while she strokes his head; she kisses his forehead.
"Everything will be alright Shoji-Kun, just wait and see…" NaNa says.
Katsumi set Rima on her bed, he leapt through her window, Shizune was currently not at home, for she was on a mission for Naruto to deliver a scroll to the village of Kirigakure, it was strict business only.
He sat down at the edge of it, he had to undue her long hair, it fell all the way to her knees, his eyes widened, no wonder she kept it in a high spiky ponytail, now it was in layers. She still had her ninja attire on, except for her shoes, for which Katsumi had removed. He tucked her in the bed and watched over her until she awoke.
"Of all people… and you were the one who had to die…" Katsumi thought.
NaNa helped Shoji stand up; he gave her a broken smile. NaNa sighed and gave him a sad look. "I'm so sorry for your loss Shoji-Kun… I understand the bond between a student and their teacher is strong especially a bond with your Sensei." She commented.
"H-Hai..." Shoji replies.
"Come on… let's go… want to get some ramen? It'll cheer you up, and it calms the nerves." NaNa says with a halfhearted smile, because in truth she was very much upset, she respected Mitzuki-Sensei with all her being, because of the way she had treated Shoji.
"I'm… I'm good NaNa-Chan… I think I'm going to go home… I'm not in the mood for anything today…. If you don't mind…" He says quietly, she nods in complete understanding, she kisses his cheek, he smiles and disappears, she sighs out sadly, but nonetheless she goes back to meditating to ease her mind of a great Sensei's death.
About an hour later it hit's 8:00 P.M. Katsumi looks towards Rima just in time to see her eyes flutter open. She looks up at the dark ceiling, her room was mostly Lavender, black, and purple. Rima sat up slowly and looked around the room she found Katsumi dozing off at the edge of her bed, sitting up with his arms folded over his chest.
Rima smiled slightly, but then the events of earlier came to mind, she brought her knees to her chest and buried her face in the, her bangs shielded her eyes, her hair fell around her like a blanket, soon a voice interrupted her.
"Rima?" Katsumi's voice questioned.
She lets out a frustrated cry; then it's followed by a sob of sadness.
Katsumi takes her into his arms, he strokes her very long hair, and rubs her back; she snuggles into his arms. "Gomenosai… I'm not being myself…" Rima states dully.
"You know you don't always have to be the strong one… every once in awhile you should let us do the fighting… you always worry about your other team members and care of their feelings first… you act as if you have no emotions when it comes to death, but it kills you on the inside… you should be able to express your feelings around me Rima." Katsumi states all at once.
Rima looks up a single tear falls down her beautiful face, her dark purple eyes gaze into his blue ones, he blushes slightly; she slowly raises her head, and lowers her lips onto his. They kiss for about two minutes, but he breaks the kiss for much needed air.
"Arigatou Katsumi-Kun…" Rima thanked.
"It's my job." He says trying to cheer her up, he is also saddened greatly by his Sensei's death, she was one of the four most important people in his life.
"Katsumi-Kun… do you think she's found peace?" Rima quietly questions while snuggling in the crook of his neck.
"Of course… Or at least I hope, I'm sure she did Rima." He replies she slowly nods; he looks down at her trembling figure and lifts her chin up and stares hard into her eyes.
"Hey listen to me… She fought hard, we all know she did… she managed to go on a final mission and had the honor of being K.I.A…. She got to see her sister again… if anything she went out with a "Bang!" Katsumi says.
"Y-You're right…" Rima sighs out, she kisses his cheek. He gets up and tucks her back into bed, she's tired already, right when he's about to leave she shakes her head and grabs hold of his sleeve. He raises an eyebrow.
"P-Please… stay with me… I don't want to be alone tonight…" She says sadly. He sighs and nods, Katsumi removes his jacket and sets it on a nearby chair, he shreds his shirt and climbs into the bed with her, he opens his arms and she cuddles against his chest, he rests his chin atop her head, and they both fall into a deep sleep, a peaceful one.
"Forgive me…" A voice whispers, it's a ghost-like voice, most definitely feminine.
