(Kakashi Ending)
Hinatas POV:
I felt frozen in place, Sasuke and I finally made to the front of the casket and I couldn't stop looking at him. He wasn't moving and I didn't want to believe it. But I had to be a little stronger right now, he wanted me to be here for Sasuke.
I grabbed Sasuke's forearm and I moved us forward.
Every step closer hurt more and the tears started welling up in eyes.
"Oni-chan" Sasuke whispered and placed one hand on the casket. Then the floodgates opened and I couldn't stop them. Why did he have to die? It wasn't fair. The one time he did something for himself by leaving the village and he just gets taken off the earth.
Then I felt something on my left shoulder, it felt like a hand squeezing it and so I looked. No one was there but I could feel it. He was here with us.
But the more I continued to look at him, something was missing and I finally figured it out. His necklace, the very one he gave me all that time ago. A reminder he was always with me.
"I think it's time for you to have this back" I said quietly so I wouldn't sob loudly. I moved my hands to the back of my neck to unclasp it.
"Didn't he give that to you?" Sasuke asked me and I looked at him. He was crying silently and all I could do was nod my head.
"It's.. okay" I choked out and placed the necklace between his hands, he was ice cold and a chill went down my spine.
I turned to see a lot more people had come and we needed to move in case anyone wanted to say goodbye as well.
"Come" I whispered to Sasuke and I moved us to the side and all we could do was watch.
The funeral was near ending and everyone was leaving. The last thing to do was putting him in the ground and I wasn't leaving until I couldn't see the casket anymore.
Kakashis POV:
It was finally just a small group of us left and they started closing Itachis casket to lower him into the ground. I kepy my eyes on Hinata and Sasuke for this part. I for one didn't want to see the casket go down, I knew if I watched it go down I would cry and that's not something I wanted to do. I might of seemed like a hard ass on the outside today but on the inside, I felt different. I was tired of losing people.
Then I heard the click of it closing and I watched Hinata fall to her knees, Sasuke went down with her. They both just held each other and they lost it. A piece of them forever gone away and it hurt to watch them like this. The loud sobs of the both of them was heartbreaking and deafening to say the least.
"Kakashi sensei, I think you should help them" Sakura whispered as she nudged me a little bit.
"Let them be" Hiashi spoke, he was one of the last people here with us. I was surprised but I think in the time Hinata and Itachi were together, he grew to like him. Not to mention he was trying so hard to be here for his daughter.
"But they're in so much pain" Sakura spoke again, this time she sniffled.
"They're going to be for a long time," Neji spoke softly, I almost didn't hear him. I forgot he was here with us today, that was the first time he spoke since arriving.
Then something flying above us made me look up, a crow was circling overhead and it landed on the fresh dirt that was resting above Itachi's grave.
"Get away, shoo!" Tenten whispered toward the bird and I put my hand in front of her to stop her.
"He's here" Hinata choked out and we all just looked at the bird.
It was a weird moment, it cawed a few times and slowly looked at everyone standing around the grave and finally hopped over to Sasuke and Hinata, it's head cocked to the side.
Sasuke let his hand out in front of him and it jumped on his forearm, both of them staring at each other.
The crow finally cawed again, the loudest pitch came from this small animal before flying away and Sasuke wiped a tear from his face.
And for the first time since his brother died, I finally saw him smile and I knew he was okay.
"Let me help you get up" he said, holding his hand out to Hinata and they were both off the ground. Hinata came back over to me and just buried herself into my chest and I placed my arms her for a hug. I could finally give her comfort and it felt good. But, what I didn't expect was the feeling of sadness to come out tenfold when she hugged me. I struggled really hard at that moment to hold the tears back.
"I have his letters for you guys" Sasuke said, slowly regaining his composure as he pulled some letters out of his jacket pocket and handed them to the correct people. Only three letters were handed out, one for me, Hinata and Neji. I'm sure Sasuke already read his.
Hinata's POV:
"Let's go home" Kakashi said to the small group of people left near the grave. We were all going back to the Uchiha district, I know that much.
As if right on que, once everyone started moving, rain started pouring down and every step we strayed away from his grave, my heart felt heavier. I felt horrible for leaving him behind but I knew there wasn't anything I could do.
We reached the entrance of the cemetery and I stopped moving while everyone continued on.
"Everyone go on ahead, I'll catch up" I told them, letting go of Kakashi's side and I started running back towards Itachi's grave.
The entrance seemed so far away from him but it felt good to run, even if I was running towards something heartbreaking.
I got to his grave quickly and I kneeled down into the mud that was forming. I could feel my legs sinking into the ground a bit as I leaned forward. I knew I forget something when I saw him one last time in that weird place.
"This sounds so silly because you can't hear me but I didn't get a chance to say it earlier.. I love you too" I whispered and I felt new tears coming down my face.
I pushed myself off the ground and looked up at the sky.
"Kisame, help him" I said and finally turned back around to head back toward the entrance. The walk home was going to be a long one because it was raining and I was alone.
I rounded the last small curve and Kakashi was still waiting for me, everyone else had gone back to the district.
"You didn't have to wait for me," I told him as I hugged him again.
"I will always wait for you" he said softly, squeezing me some more. I knew he would and it made me feel safe as he let go of me so we could walk.
…
We finally got back to the district and we were soaked when we entered the very noisy house. Everyone was talking and I knew they were taking turns playing with the babies.
We headed towards the living room, a fire was lit in the fireplace, tea was made and everyone seemed to be better now.
"You guys are soaked, go shower, get changed and come back when you're a little warmer. We can handle things here" my father spoke, looking me in the eyes before anyone said anything else. I just nodded my head and turned back around. A shower sounded nice and Kakashi followed me. His suit was drenched and I wanted to get the mud off of me.
I took my time walking up the stairs and finally got to our room, he shut the door behind us and I headed straight toward the bathroom. At least there the tile floor couldn't be ruined with water, unlike the carpet in the rest of the room.
"I'm going to leave your letter in your top drawer so when you're ready," he said to me as I turned the water to the shower on. I didn't know when I was going to open that letter, it could be after my shower, it could be months from now.
I sighed out loud and started taking my clothes off, I just wish today would be over with or at least a distraction. Then I realized I had a distraction and he was in the bathroom with me and so I glanced over at him. I wondered if I could catch him off guard of his senses were still sharp and so I moved as quickly as possible and I jumped up towards him. He caught me and I wrapped my legs around his waist.
"What are you doing?" he asked me, looking surprised and I crashed my lips down on his. His wet shirt was now cold and it made me shiver a bit but I didn't mind too much. After all, I'm sure he needed a distraction from today as well. I could tell it was bothering him even though he didn't show it much.
I started hungrily kissing him now, hoping he would get the hint and I'm sure he did because he carried me over to the sink counter and put me on it. I started undoing the buttons on his shirt, while he undid mine. We were both soon free of our shirts that were on the floor now and I felt his hands reaching for my back, to take my bra off.
I knew Tsunade said to wait three weeks but I'm sure nothing could go wrong since I had no injuries and she healed me.
"I thought we had to wait?" he asked me in a hushed tone and I pulled his lips back into mine and soon he was naked and I still had my skirt on.
"I just don't want to hurt you," he told me and placed his hand on my thigh and lightly traced his fingers towards the middle of my legs.
"We haven't done anything in almost two months, I'm done waiting" I told him and pushed him back a bit so I could hop off the counter and take my skirt off.
Our clothes were finally off and we were in the shower. He lifted me up in the shower and placed me on the small ledge so we were back in the same position. I would never not be happy about the way this shower was designed.
One of his hands gripped my hair on the back of my head tighter and the other hand slowly reached between my legs. He was purposely torchering me and I hated it. He started rubbing slowly and entered two fingers. It didn't even hurt but my back did arch and his hand that was tangled in my hair slid down slowly.
I moaned slightly and started playing with my nipples and I just wanted him so I moved my head to kiss him, deepening the connection between us. There was barely any space between us now.
"I want you" I mumbled into his lips and pressed my nails into his back a bit which cause him to bite my lower lip some and move his fingers faster inside of me.
"Are you sure?" he asked and I nodded my head. If it hurt then we would stop, it was simple.
He removed his fingers from me and positioned himself, pushing in slowly. It didn't hurt at all but since my hormones were threw the roof, it felt better than ever. I moaned a bit and dug my nails into his back deeper. He started thrusting faster and I moaned louder.
"We have a house full of people" he whispered to me as he rested his forehead on my shoulder.
"I.. can't help it" I said as I bit the side of his neck slightly which caused him to groan too.
We didn't last very long but it was incredible nonetheless and we finished our shower.
"Do you know where my sweater is?" I asked out loud as I was digging through my drawers. It was too cold for just a tank top and I wanted my entire outfit before I bothered getting dressed.
"You mean this one?" he asked and I turned to see him holding it in his hands. The light gray sweater with a purple flower on the pocket was dangling from his hands.
"Yes!" I said excitedly and walked over to him. I went to grab it but he held up in the air and I had to jump to get it.
"That's not fair!" I said, jumping again while trying to hold my towel in place.
"Hmm, if you want it, you have to work for it" he said smugly and I continued jumping.
"Stop teasing me!" I said, jumping again, the sweater right out of my reach.
"Why? I'm enjoying the view" he said and then I realized why he kept making me jump and I felt a small blush come across my face.
"Can I please have my sweater?" I asked nicely, not bothering to jump anymore.
"I feel like I should get something for it," he said, raising his eyebrows. Then I smirked at him and just let the towel fall to the ground.
"How about now?" I asked as his eyes scanned my body.
"I don't know.." he sighed out loud, teasing me some more. But I also didn't mind playing this game so I took a step forward, leaving no space between us and gave him a kiss.
"You're close.." he said softly to me and I kissed him again but harder. I kept pushing him back until I felt the bed, which we fell back on.
I climbed on top of him, my thighs on both sides of him now. I licked his bottom lip slightly, giving me full access to explore his mouth and I felt both of his hands reach for my chest. Both of his thumbs gliding over my nipples and I wanted another round but I also wanted to get dressed.
I opened my eyes quickly to see my sweater above his head which I reached her and quickly got off of him.
"Oh, you're mean" he said, sitting up on the bed now as I moved back a bit so I could get dressed.
"You teased me first, it's only fair" I said, even though I wanted more but I wanted to prove my point first.
"I wasn't done with you," he said and swiftly moved to grab me.
He pulled me back onto the bed, trapping me underneath him.
"We should be getting downstairs" I said to him and he ignored me.
"They're not dumb and they're enjoying time with the twins, let it be" he growled to me and sucked me into a deep passionate kiss. I guess proving my point would be void because my desire to touch him was greater than entertaining the people in this house.
His kisses left my mouth and started traveling down my body, not missing any inch of me as he made his way between my legs.
….
I wasn't sure how long we were having sex for but we were finally getting dressed, I had a few bruises on my legs and he had deep scratches on his back. Neither of us held back that time since we were on the bed and not in the shower.
"I'll go down first, take your time," he told me, throwing his shirt on and walked over to me. He grabbed my face and gave me a soft kiss.
"I love you" he said and placed his forehead on mine.
"I love you too" I said, placing my hand over his.
"I know today was hard, if you need to talk about it. Talk to me, it's okay I understand" he said, giving me a kiss on the forehead and left me alone in the bedroom.
I finally finished getting dressed and opened the top drawer of my dresser and took Itachi's letter out. I needed to do this now or I would never open it, I'd rather deal with the hurt then wonder what he wrote on this paper.
I made my way back over to the bed and sat on it. My hands were shaking slightly as I opened it.
Hinata,
I know I didn't say goodbye again and I can never take it back. I'm sorry for anything we ever argued over and I'm sorry I can't be there for those children and that I never got you or them anything for when they were born. So, I hereby declare whatever is mine in the district, is now yours. I want you to have it all, I want those kids to have a better upbringing than their parents had.
I will always be with you, I hope one day when my last surprise is seen, you'll keep your promise. I also congratulate you and Kakashi on getting married. I wish you the best and I love you, truly. Don't ever forget it, my eternal love.
Itachi
The only sound I could hear was my tears hitting the letter as I kept staring at nothing. Even in death he thought of everyone but himself. All I could do was sit here, look at my carpet and cry.
"Hinata?" a voice asked from the other side of my bedroom door and it opened. I looked up slightly to see Neji and he came inside quickly, shutting the door behind him.
He looked at the letter in my hands and then me again and just wrapped his arms around me. He knew what I read, he had one too.
"He's really done" I choked out, gripping Neji tighter in my arms.
"I know" he said quietly.
"I came up here to check on you, Kakashi came downstairs fifteen minutes ago and I got worried" he told me, releasing his arms from me.
"I needed to read it or I never would" I said truthfully. The words in his letter kept rippling thru my mind, what did he mean by last surprise? What does that even mean?
"I haven't even read mine yet" he told me and I wiped the tears off my face.
"Well, mine was blunt yet cryptic. You know, normal Itachi" I said, giggling a bit which caused Neji to smile.
"Figures, but let's get downstairs and bring some joy to today" Neji said, offereing me his hand to get me off the bed.
"Deal and I would like to meditate soon, we need it. You lost him too" I said, giving him a small smile and he nodded his head in agreement.
We made our way downstairs and everyone was still here but the babies were in their room, they had just went down for a nap. So I found my way over to Kakashi on the couch and curled into him.
"So what are we talking about guys?" I asked, looking around and locked eyes on Sasuke. He looked hurt but finally not in pain from losing him.
"I was telling Sasuke about how Itachi scared me to death once" Naruto said and I glanced at him.
"Only once?" I questioned him.
"Only once. He used his sharingan on me" he said, scratching the back of his head.
"You probably deserved it" Sakura intervened.
"You must have really made him mad then, he never used that unless it was for fighting. What did you do?" Sasuke asked, looking at Naruto. I was interested now too, I had a feeling the ending of the story would make me laugh.
"When we were rebuilding the village, I ended up working with him and that shark guy. It was super hot out and I kept asking him what to do because I had no clue. He kept ignoring me so I made a few shadow clones" he said, taking a small breath.
"I went around to everyone else and kept asking and finally your brother stood up straight looked me in the eyes and told me if I spoke again with my annoying voice that team seven would be short a member. So he used his sharingan and made me side on a log until the sun went down" he said, huffing as he crossed his arms. Sasuke bursted out laughing and I couldn't help but giggle.
"But he left me there all night and I only got released from his genjutsu because Kurenai sensei released me" Naruto continued his story and we laughed a bit.
"I'm happy you told that, I needed to laugh" I told Naruto.
"I didn't ever think someone could annoy him but you did and I'm not surprised" Sasuke said, giving his friend a small smile.
"Well, you're not the only one" Neji spoke up and we all glanced over at him.
Before Neji could tell his story, one of the babies started crying so I got off the couch at the same time my father got up from his chair.
"I got it" he said to me
"We'll both go" I told him, it gave me an opportunity to tell him about seeing my mother and we both headed towards the babies room, Karasu was the one who woke up.
I quickly picked her up and started rocking her, cooing at her.
"It's okay my little love, I'm here" I whispered to her and she calmed down pretty quickly but remained awake.
"She's beautiful, by the way" my Dad said and I looked at him with a smile. She really was and I couldn't wait to see the woman she would grow into.
"I wanted to tell you something" I spoke up and grabbed his attention.
"When I was in labor, I nearly died and I went somewhere" I began and he kept his eyes locked onto mine.
"When I was in this strange place, I saw mother" I said gently, reading his facial expression and it seemed softer now.
"She's proud of all of us, even if Hanabi doesn't remember her and she wanted me to pass a message along to you" I said and he was hanging onto every word at this moment.
"She told me that you better keep your promise or she'll start haunting you" I said and withheld my laugh. He really was keeping his promise, I would give him that.
"I'm doing my best, I'm happy you saw her. Was she okay?" he asked me and I could see the worry on his face and I nodded my head.
"She misses and loves us all" I said out loud and my father stepped forward and give me a hug the best he could since I was holding a baby.
"I wish she could be here with us, you would never see them. She would just take over" he admitted and stroked the top of his granddaughters head gently.
"I wish she was here too" I said and it was the first time my father and I really bonded and I enjoyed it wholeheartedly. My mother was always a sensitive subject and we never touched it on it until now. I'm sure it was because the babies were here.
"Did you see anyone else in that other place?" he asked me.
"I saw Itachi and Kisame, we said our goodbyes," I told him and I could feel tears threatening to fall out.
"We're never alone," he told me and we both looked down to see her fast asleep again and I gently put her back in her crib.
We tiptoed out of the room and joined everyone once again.
…
"I read Itachi's letter" I told Kakashi as I brought the blankets up over us in the bed.
"Are you okay?" he asked me and pulled me into him to cuddle.
Luckily Ru volunteered to stay the night downstairs so the babies wouldn't be alone. Sasuke, Naruto and Sakura had all gone to Neji's house to drink and forget the day happened.
"I'm just confused, that's all" I admitted and the lines of his letter started running in my mind again.
"Leave it to you to be confused from a goodbye letter" he said, laughing a bit. I hit him lightly on the chest.
"He said when his last surprise comes fourth, he hoped I would keep my promise and I don't understand" I told him.
"Well, when the time comes. I'm sure you'll figure it out" he said, squeezing me into a hug and he was right. I guess I would just have to wait, even if I didn't know how long for.
"He also said that anything that was his is now our children's. He wanted them to have a better childhood than we did" I continued to tell him more about my letter and looked at him, his eyes grew wide a bit.
"We'll have to ask Sasuke what exactly was Itachis here" he admitted, probably trying to make a small list in his head.
"Do you think we should ask Ru to help me around here when you go back to work?" I asked him, avoiding the Itachi subject for now. I didn't want to talk about him anymore today.
"I think that would be a great idea," he said and started shifting to lay on his side and was now looking down at me.
"I'll talk to her tomorrow about it, I'm sure she's already sleeping" I said and he nodded his head in agreement.
He leaned forward and gave me a kiss, which I pulled him in deeper.
...
A few weeks had passed and tonight was our engagement party and there would be a lot of people. The Hyuga clan never failed to throw large parties and because Kakashi is the Hokage, I'm sure there would be some extra stuff as well.
"Are you sure you'll be okay?" I asked Ru as we were finishing our morning tea. Kakashi had already left for work with Sasuke but he would be back in enough time to get ready.
"I watched those little angels by myself once before, I can do it again" she spoke, giving me a reassuring smile.
"I'm so happy you're here, you've been such a huge help threw out my entire pregnancy and even now" I admitted to her and took a sip of my tea.
"I have nothing better to do at the compound and your father approved of me to help you, it's no worries" she said sweetly again.
"I just hope we can keep them a secret until Kakashi and I are married because then they can't do anything" I said, a little worry came over me. I would die before I let anything happen to them, they meant everything to me and they've only been on this earth for three weeks.
"I'm sure Kakashi would find a loophole anyhow" Ru told me, trying to reassure me.
"You know as well as I do that it's clan business and not even the Hokage could interfere unless we were married," I said.
"Well, if you sign the paperwork on their last names being Kakashis before you get married, it wouldn't matter anyways" she told me and a lightbulb went off.
"You're a genius, can you stay here with them?" I asked her, quickly removing myself from the seat at the table and she nodded her head. I made a few hand signs and used the body flicker jutsu right into Kakashis office.
I made a small whirlwind when I arrived, a few papers fell off of his desk.
"I have a door, you know" he commented on my sudden appearance.
"You of all people have no room to lecture me on how to enter this office" I scowled. He used everything but the front door so I didn't want to hear it from him.
"Block the walls off" I said to him, locking eyes with him and he casted the hand signs so no one could hear him and I talking. Nor would they enter if they couldn't hear anything knowing the Hokage would be talking about something important. Then it dawned on me Sasuke wasn't in the room either.
"Where's Sasuke?" I asked, before I started the conversation that would save us from the elders even if they did find out before we got married.
"He went to get lunch, you came at a good time" he said nonchalantly as he sat up a little straighter in his chair.
"Back to the reason why I'm here, Ru and I were talking this morning about the twins and how we have to hide them until we were married" I started rambling and walking in circles.
"If we get the documentation together to have the twins under your last name and we both sign in, my clan can't interfere because the babies wouldn't have the last name Hyuga anymore" I continued talking fast and I finally felt Kakashi's hand grab my bicep to stop me from moving. I looked up at him and took a deep breath.
"This is a great idea but we Tsunade and Shizune left the village this morning to help another village with medical emergencies" he told me and my frown instantly came back.
"Why can't you use your authority and demand the paperwork from her office in the hospital?" I asked him, I was curious now.
"Because as much as Tsunade trusts Sakura, she doesn't have a key to enter the office and I'm not breaking the door open. I fear Tsunade more than your clan heads" he said truthfully, he was right too because I agreed with him.
"Can you send Sasuke to get the key?" I asked, hoping I could find a way to get this key from Tsunade.
"My love, we're going to have to wait until she returns to do this," he told me and I could hear the sadness in his voice too.
"Damn it" I mumbled and he cupped my face in his hands to give me a kiss which made my insides turn. I wasn't sure if it was my hormones or just the fact I could finally move freely again. All I knew was that I just wanted to touch him all the time or have him touch me.
"How long does he take to get lunch?" I asked, placing my hand on the front of his vest.
"Why?" he asked me and I rolled my eyes even though my lids were closed, I guess I would find out the hard way.
I moved my hand farther down his torso and finally landed on what I really wanted. It was semi-hard so that meant he probably wanted it too. I squeezed it a bit from the outside of his pants while I started kissing his neck.
"I'm not sure how long he's going to take today" he said, a slight rasp in his voice from enjoying what my hand was doing.
"Better hurry up then" I whispered and he lifted me up, moving towards the couch where we crashed down.
I'm not sure what to make of this chapter lol but the next one should be up soon. Also, would it confuse you guys if I started writing the Itachi ending or should I wait until the Kakashi ending is complete? Let me know, also lastly, the lemons are half and half with you guys. Do you care or not?
