Ch5

I'm sorry...Will you ever forgive me? I doubt it...but all I want now is you to be happy...

Everything is blurring now...I guess it's because of all the blood I'm losing right now....I wonder if you felt like this when you found out it was us who attacked...nah, probably worse...

I can feel your arm hugging me tightly I feel warm drops of rain on my cheek. Are you...are you crying for me? Why? After all we did? Why would you cry for someone like me? I betrayed him, I almost killed his students, and almost him! Wait...maybe they are tears for soemthign else. Maybe they aren't crying at all. Even if you were crying, I'm not worth it. I don't deserve your tears...I wish it was for me, though...

I can barely see you any more. Oh how I wish I can see your smiling face again. We had so much fun when we were kids, didn't we? We went to lots of adventures, and we would get into fights sometimes. But we always ended up friends again at the end. I wish it was like that for now. But I this is different. Besides, if you do even forgive me, I won't be around.

Will you never forget me? Will you remember me always? Or will you forget me and run to someone other girl? I don't even know if you have a girl now. Do you? Well, all I want now for you is your happiness.

I wish all this was a lie. A dream, a very bad dream. I wish that we were still in konoha. I wish that we weren't taken away...I wish none of this happened. I wish I was here with you, happy like the old time, I wish you loved me.

But now it is time to say good-bye...and I love you.

...good-bye....

The 2 black figure looked startled, staring at the 2 Konoha ninjas. As soon as Sasuke saw them enter, he smiled weakly.

"finally..." with that, he collapsed.

"What are you doing?!" Iruka yelled, as he moved his hands to where his weapon pocked would be, but realized that neither of them had them right this moment. He cursed under his breath.

The 2 figures looked startled still, not moving and inch. As soon as Kakashi realized that they would not attack, he formed seals. The 2 ninjas snapped back into reality, but a bit too late. Kakashi's Raikiri hit them, but he missed the spot by couple inches.

The 2 people seemed to get some damage; one was hit on the arm, and one near the neck, but little above.

Kakashi and Iruka glared at them dangerously. "What is your purpose?" Kakashi asked. The ninjas did not answer. "Well, if you are a mute, that's fine with me, all I have to do is to see what village you are from, and I'll see!" He then made more symbols, but stopped in the middle. Iruka was also trying to make symbols, but also stopped.

One of the ninja had it's hand up in the kage naraku no jutsu. The other was walking over to Naruto.

"Oh no you don't!" kakashi and Iruka yelled as they used all their physical strength to pull out of the binding spell. The binder staggerd backwards a bit, and Iruka grabbed a blood stained Kunai off the ground, and threw it at the binder.

"Go Kakashi! I got this!" he yelled. Then he grabbed more kunais and threw them. The Ninja dodged all of it except one, which was caught in its hands.

The other ninja jumped backwards, every time Kakashi punched and kicked. "What are your reason to get Naruto?!" he yelled. "Are you one of Itachi's men?!" The ninja didn't say anything, but dodged.

Menawhile Iruka and the ninja was having a kunai war. Iruka kept jumping around, getting kunais and throwing at the ninja. The ninja dodged more, and caught more. When the ninja caught 5, it held them like claws in its right hand, and lunged towards Iruka.

Iruka was caught off guard, jumping backwards, but got scratches. The attacker gave him no chance to regain balance, but kicked him, making him run into the tree behind him.

"Iruka!" kakashi yelled, as he saw his friend fly and hit the tree. He gave one more kick, (Which was dodged) and tried to run towards him to help, but the ninja kicked his back, and he fell face flat.

The ninja walked over to Iruka, and the other, to Kakashi. The one who was walking to Iruka placed the kunais right next to his neck. Kakashi tried to get up, but the attacker was now sitting on him, also holding a kunai on its right hand and its left on the ground next to his face.

The attacker on kakashi was about to strike, but the kunais flew out of its hands, as a kunai came rushing by. The attacker jumped off of him, looking at its comrade. The ninja looked at the other, but soon fell onto its knees, hands in face as if crying.

"I...I can't!" a female voice said, which was very familiar. Kakashi was shocked, stayed on the ground; Iruka was staring at his attacker.

"Why!" the other yelled. It also had a female voice. "Then...I will!" with that, she lounged towards Kakashi, kunai in hand. Kakashi was shocked; he didn't have time to react. He stayed on the ground, and he heard a huge clash near his head. He opened his eyes to see the kunai stuck on the ground, only inch away from his face. He then felt warm drops of water. He looked up, to see the attacker crying.

"I...I...." She stammered. She then jumped backwards.

The other ninja looked up at her. Iruka and Kakashi also stood up, and jumped back, too.

They had the wrong idea.

"Don't pretend you are Sayaka!" Iruka yelled. "You won't fool me!"

Kakashi was also fuming. "Mitsuki wouldn't do something like this! I know she wont!"

The attackers looked at them.

"No, its..." the ninja sitting started, but was cut off. Iruka had thrown a Kunai, hitting square in the shoulder. Kakashi also threw a kunai, which hit the other on the stomach.

"I guess this is better..." she said, as she fell onto her knees.

"Yeah..." the other said, coughing up blood.

Iruka and Kakashi were motionless until they really realized what happened.

"Mitsuki!" Kakshi yelled as he ran to her.

Iruka was also going over to the other, but was wobbling toward her, crazed at the event. When he walked over to her, he saw that the rip that Kakashi made earlier was open now, revealing the cross erarring Iruka had given Sayaka.

"No...no..." he mumbled, smiling weakly. "This....this is a dream..."

"I'm sorry Iruka..." sayaka said, looking up as him. She then reached up and pulled her hood off, revealing her face, saddened. Iruka didn't say anything.

Kakashi pulled her into a hug. He then noticed the ring he had given her. "This...this is a joke, right? You are going to stand up not hurt at all..."

She pushed herself away fro him. She then removed her hood, also, her golden hair falling out. She smiled weakly at him with tears in her eyes.

"Why?" he asked in almost a whisper.

Mitsuki looked down. "Because...if we didn't, we would be stuck in father's clutch forever. If a No-name village ninja does not complete' it's task, we would be forever cursed to stay. I know that is not a good reason toalmost kill you...but...." She stopped, coughing up blood.

Kakashi was too much in shock to say anything. Iruka also was having a hard time.

"Sayaka...how...why...." Iruka searched for words, but found none.

Sayaka looked up to him, tears in her eyes. "I'm sorry..."

Iruka looked at her, his eyes almost tearing. "Sorry? Sorry!? That all!?" He started to yell, but stopped. "I'm sorry...I dind't mean to..." he stopped, sayaka holding out her hand.

"You can't be sorry. We should be the one saying that...But...I guess we have no time left." She said, smiling.

Kakashi was looking at Mitsuki. "This is all good." She smiled at him. "This way, I don't have to go back to father." She said. "Can you take me to Sayaka?" she asked.

Kakashi could only nod.

"Sayaka..." Mitsuki said softly, as she was layed next to her.

"Mitsuki..." Sayaka said, her eyes drooping. "This is good, right?" Mitsuki nodded. She then looked at Iruka. "Thank you..." she started, but stopped. She was breathing still, but was not talking anymore.

"Sayaka..." Mituski mumbled, as she called her name. She got no reply. "Hey Kakashi...." She started. "and Iruka. I want you to know that we are thankful for what you did." Neither could say anything. She kept going. "You freed us." With that, she coughed up more blood.

Sayaka spoke up. "I...I can't see you...where are you?" she slowly lifted her arms. Iruka kneeled, holding her hand. "Funny, I can't see you, but I can feel you." Iruka's hands shook as he held onto hers. It was getting colder.

"No...please don't...don't leave me!" he stammered.

Sayaka smiled. Her eyes closed now. Mitsuki watched the 2. Her vision was also blurring, but can see them still. Then she felt shaky warm hands take hers.

"kakashi?" she asked weakly.

"I...I..." Kakashi couldn't find words to say.

Mitsuki smiled. "Shh...ah, I forgot to tell you this." She said.

"Me too." Sayaka said.

"What?" kakashi asked weakly.

"You...go...first." Mitsuki said as she was almost losing conscious..

"Together...I can...barely keep...conscious my...self." She laughed weakly.

"fine." Mitsuki said.

"I...love...you." They said, as they fell into silence, meeting more silence. Kakashi and Iruka felt their hands droop, and rain falling.

"No..." Iruka laughed. "This HAS to be a joke..."

kakashi was also laughing weakly. "No...this can't be..."

Silence met them, tears dropping out of their eyes. The rain fell even harder now. Kakashi and Iruka can hear the rain pouring, but could not feel it. They were in too much pain to notice...Or was is raining on them?

Kakashi looked up, to see that where they sat was not raining, but all around was. Iruka noticed too, but before neither can say anymore, a warm wind flew by them, a reassuring wind.

"Mitsuki and Sayaka, we have chosen a village for you." A voice said. "because your love is strong, because your friendship is strong, because your belief is strong, we give the decision of placing you in Hidden Kamihane." (AN my own creation of the place, also in my other fic, lol)

The wind picked up Sayaka and Mitsuki;s motionless body, and pair of wings covered them both. When they were lifted down, Kakashi and Iruka saw the headband was now not blank, but had a cross with wings on them. Then, a bigger wave of wind came rushing by, and everyone's wounds were healed, including Sasuke and Naruto's.

Kakashi was furious. "Why couldn't you pick before! Then we wouldn't be in this mess!"

"Kakashi, no." Iruka said softly. "Sa..." he trailed off.

Kakashi also stopped yelling, but looked at his lover. They were stirring.

"kakashi, you are right. Therefore, I give them 1 more life." The voice said.

The 2 women's eyes opened slowly. "I...I thought we...." They looked at each other. "you're hear band!" they both said, pointing at each other's.

Before they could say more, kakashi and Iruka were now hugging them very hard.

"I...can't breath...." Mitsuki said.

"That's what you get for dying on my once!" Kakashi said, hugging tighter.

"Iruka-san?" Sayaka said, as she hugged him back.

Iruka didn't do anymore, but whispered something in her ear. "I love you too."

Sangokirara5: Look, the only reason why I didn't make kakashi say it, is because of the sequel thing. Anyway, please review! Can you tell I suck at dying scenes too? Lol.
