Akanishi-san: Woohoo! like I promised, last chapter on Sun! Anyway, thanks for everyone's support on this. I made this chapter kinda...weird. But...err...yeah...anyway, read on and please review one last time!

Ch5

"This way!" Sora whispered as she slowly got out the room, looking around carefully. "Typical for Touya leaving the door open." She whispered, silently thanking him. She had found out from Kakashi that it was Touya who planned everything out for her.

Remembering him, one of her hand went onto her neck, where a necklace Touya had given her hung. She lifted it to inspect, to see that it was a stone, a clear stone carved into a small shape of a bird.

She closed her hand on it, tear escaping her once again. Touya had thought everything out, he knew that she was going to escape, so he gave it to her. She saw him carving it couple of times, she didn't know what it was for, and never asked. Now she knew, it was for her. She remembered when he found out her name was Sora, he said she should have been born a hawk since her name meant 'sky' and with her golden brown eyes and black hair. He was the person who was always there for her when she needed someone.

"Sora?" Kakashi asked, uncertainly, peering into her face. "Are you all right?" He had a frown on his face, concerned with her sudden stop and tear.

Sora snapped out her memories, smiling at him. "Yes, let's keep going." She whispered, and kept on running. "There's the opening!" She yelled back to Kakashi. She would be free! Free of Orochimaru! She would be free soon as she got out. Freedom. Freedom with Kakashi.

When she exited, however, she saw something she didn't see coming. "TOUYA!" She heard herself yell his name as she saw his neck in grasp of Orochimaru's hands, his feet off the ground. "TOUYA!" She yelled once more, getting a kunai out, swinging it at Orochimaru who leaped away from harm, dropping who he had earlier.

"Oh, nice of you to join, Sora." Orochimaru chuckled as he dusted himself, watching from a far, and a place where he could both watch and be out of harm's way.

Sora quickly caught Touya before he hit the ground, and looked into his face. "No! Touya!" She yelled, tears dropping now. Kakashi cursed as he dashed in front of Sora, his weapon out, covering her. "Touya!" She yelled his name again, hoping, hoping that he was alive, and will live.

Touya's eyes opened a little, and a smile was playing on his lips. "Hehe…good, you…got out…all right…" He choked on blood, coughing dangerously.

Sora's tears kept falling, trying to stop, but couldn't. "Touya! You can't leave me!" She sobbed, trying to cover his wounds. "No!" She sobbed, tears dropping, over and over, crying for her friend.

Touya chuckled. "I had fun being your…partner, Sora…" He said, smiling still. "Stop crying…silly…I got you…him…for a reason…now…let me see…you smile, with your…whole heart in it…" He breathed, one hand lifting up to wipe on of her tears.

"Touya…" Sora whispered, and taking his hand with her own, she smiled at him as best she could, tears still coming out. "Thank you…"

With another smile, Touya's eyes closed, forever. Sora closed her eyes tight, anger filling her up. "Touya…" She whispered, and leaned down to kiss him on the forehead. "Thank you…" She said to him, tears still falling. 'For everything…"

She slowly stood up, and got a kunai out as well, her eyes blazing with anger. "You tainted my container." Orochimaru said disapprovingly at Kakashi who was standing in fighting position.

Kakashi nodded triumphantly. "Yes, now you can't use her, can you?"

Orochimaru raised an eyebrow. "Well, I did want a clean body this time, but don't you think I have thought of a counter by now?" He chuckled. Kakashi froze, looking at him with horror. "There is a counter part to it. Even if she is tainted with blood, doesn't mean that I can't use her."

Kakashi was had one arm in front of her, his eyes blazing. He lost her before; he was not going to lose her ever again! Especially after he found out that she loves him too!

Sora seemed like she didn't even hear Orochimaru' comment, she was still holding the kunai, looking at the motionless body of her friend. Tears dropped silently from her, rage growing. She felt so weird, showing her emotions. She hadn't shown them for so long, why was she showing it now?

She tuned around, her eyes full of anger. "Orochimaru…" She whispered with acid in her tone. "I…will kill you!"

Suddenly, around Orochimaru, ring of fire surrounded him, blazing higher into the air. Orochimaru looked at it, frightened. "Call it off, NOW!" He ordered, trying to get free, but to be burnt by the fire.

"No…" Sora, said, going around Kakashi's arm and closing onto him. "You killed Touya!" She yelled, tears dropping still. Fire surrounded her as well, but they weren't burning any part of her, it was just circling her protectively.

Orochimaru looked around for a way out, horror on his face. "Call it off, NOW, SORA!" He yelled, trying to get out. He tried jutsus, but they all deflected off of it. Instead, the fire got closer and closer to Orochimaru, threatening to burn him into nothing.

"You know how my fire abilities are very impressive as you have put it, and can burn you into thin air!" Sora growled, her anger still clear on her, the flames still blazing around her. "I will kill you!" The ring of fire around her formed a ring of fire balls, all circling around her neatly.

Before she could throw all the fire balls at Orochimaru, however, Kakashi hugged her from behind. "Sora!" He yelled, stopping her. "Stop!"

"Let me go, Kakashi!" She yelled, trying to get Orochimaru, but she stopped when she heard burning and smell of it around her. Because Kakashi had hugged her, the fires around her were burning him! '"Kakashi!" She yelped, and let her own fire drop, dropping Orochimaru' as well, loosing her control.

Kakashi looked at her wincing from the burns, and said, "He won't come back even if you kill him, Sora. I heard you don't kill…" He whispered, still hugging her. "Don't start now."

Sora's arms dropped, her eyes letting the water out again. "Touya…" She whispered.

Orochimaru, taking this as a chance, he turned to run, but was caught by Kakashi' s clone. "Don't think so, Orochimaru. You will come back with me to Konoha." He said softly, pain on his eyes with the loss of a friend. Although he didn't know Touya very much, he was still his friend. He had helped Kakashi to go get Sora.

Orochimaru used a jutsu and tried to escape, but the ring of fire surrounded him once more, not blazing as much like before, but enough to make Orochimaru hesitate. Seeing that there were no escapes for him, he stopped trying. Instead, he sent a glare at Sora. "Fool! If you became my body without any trouble, you would have had Kakashi's whole clan living again!"

Kakashi raised an eyebrow. "Oh, didn't you hear? I don't really care about the past. Right now, the only thing I can do is to keep on going. I can't just cling onto my past forever." He smiled at Sora, who was looking at him. "What I wish now is for her to come back with me." He saw her blush, and he had to smile.

He turned his gaze back to Orochimaru, who was glaring at him. "Well, come on, get on with it. We are done talking." Kakashi said suddenly and turned around, walking towards Touya's body.

As if waiting for those words, needles came flying and hit Orochimaru squarely in the neck, paralyzing him. He fell to the ground, the ring of fire disappearing. Soon as he hit the ground, Anbu was standing next to it. With a nod to Kakashi and Sora, he took the only part he needed, and left.

As Kakashi reached Sora, she was sobbing once more. "Touya…" She hiccupped. "He was always there when I needed him, and…hic…I…never repaid…hic…him."

Kakashi frowned, some jealousy building up, but hugged her comfortingly. "I think he is happy to see you free again, Sora…I don't think he wants to see your tears too." He whispered to her, still hugging her. She nodded, but couldn't stop her tears. "Let's bring him back to Konoha. He can be in the memorial, he did us a great favor, and he would be recorded as a legend."

Sora sniffed, and nodded once more. "Let's…go back." She whispered.

Almost done

Couple months passed by after they got back, Hokage had let her stay, and had Touya's name carved onto the memorial. The village of Konoha buzzed with the story of Touya for a long time, and how he was a hero on capturing Orochimaru. Also, the city buzzed with stories of how Kakashi won the woman's heart.

Many people remembered her, and were glad to see her back. Gai for example tried to jump on her for a hug, but the overprotective Kakashi stepped in and stopped him from doing so. Kurenai, Iruka, Asuma, and the other ninjas greeted her happily, asking her loads of questions on where she was, how she was doing all this time, and everything. In the end, Kakashi came to the rescue, saying that they should stop bugging her.

She also found out about Rin, Obito and the Fourth's death. She took it with a shock, but said nothing else. She visited Obito's grave every day with Kakashi, and prayed for him. She thanked him for changing Kakashi, and how she is thankful for his present, the Sharingan, for that saved Kakashi so many times. She still remembered him, he was the annoying, happy-going brat. She missed him, but like Kakashi had said, it can't be helped. She missed Rin as well. She was her friend, who understood each other. The fourth…She loved him dearly with her heart as in a father way, and hearing that he had died protecting the village by taking the kyuubi into Naruto, she decided that she should take care of Naruto. She visited Naruto everyday, first with hesitation, but as days passed on, Naruto started to be like a brother to her.

Sora had been placed in Jounin class, and she now worked for Konoha, using her fire abilities for good causes, and still keeping her record of no killing. Her name also buzzed in the streets of Konoha, how she was under Orochimaru's control, and how she was now under Konoha. Some people chose not to trust her, but in time, many people came to respect her, and love her.

Kakashi found out later on that he had gained many rivals by bringing Sora back with him. She was a star of the ninjas now, and almost every ninja who was assigned to a mission, asked Sora to come along. Everyone respected her powers now, and trusted her.

Now, the story ends here. There really is nothing else to say. Later on, Kakashi asks Sora to marry him, and of course, she answers with a yes. Maybe they get kids, who knows? It's your imagination from now on. Add in anything you would like, maybe I will make an epilogue?
