a/n: This is the third chapter of this fanfic… This part is half-true, half-fanfiction… so here it is. Enjoy… By the way, thanks for the reviews!

Every now and then, we find a special friend,
Who never lets us down.
Who understands it all, Reaches out each time we fall,
You're the best friend that I've found.
I know you can't stay; Part of you will never ever go away,
Your heart will stay
And I'll be right behind your shoulder watching you,
I'll be standing by your side with all you do.
And I will never leave, As long as you believe,
I'll make a wish for you, and hope it will come true.
Then life will just be kind, to such a gentle mind.
If you lose your way, think back on yesterday.
Remember me this way, remember me this way

Chapter Three: The Second Disaster

I was deeply saddened with the death of Obito. Oh, how I wished he lived longer. He could have lived a little longer; just for a while. I became more silent. I talked less. Yes, even to Aki. Nevertheless, she tried to cheer me up. She was the reason why I felt…well…better…

"Hey, Kakashi-kun," she said to me in her always cheerful manner. "Why so blue?"

"Dakara…Obito-san wa" I said.

"Don't be sad." She tried to cheer me up. "Obito-kun will not be happy…"

I smiled behind my black mask. Somehow, when she said it, I felt better, a lot better. She smiled back. She looked at my Sharingan.

"Now, you will look just like me!" she said sanguinely.

Yes, I would look just like her if she had her sharingan eye active. Her clan, Amakusa has some sort…well, something. An advance bloodline I suppose; probably one of the most powerful. A sharingan on the left and a byakugan on the other…

She slanted my head protector to cover my red eye. I smiled again. She smiled back again. She was growing more and more beautiful. Her deep set of bluish-grey eyes were becoming more almond-shaped. Her lips are becoming pinker. Her long hazel-brown hair made her face prettier. She was already growing into a beautiful woman. Sensei told me that she and I look good together. (I blushed when he said that.)

"So, are you gonna go to the academy tomorrow?" I asked.

She shook her head. "Nah…"

"The stars are sure pretty tonight." She said.

"Yes, they are." I replied.

"Hey look, Kakashi-kun, a shooting star!"

I closed my eyes and made a wish. "I wish I will be able to protect the lives of everyone I care for. So, I wish to be a Hokage someday, just like my sensei." I said to myself. That's it. That was all I wished for.

That was the first time I wished to be a Hokage. But up to know, no one knew I wanted to be one; nobody. I kept it my secret.

We said sayonara and I left her at her home.

It felt chilly that night. The clouds covered the moon. The night was silent; no sound, not even crickets. The autumn leaves were the only sound I could hear. I walked slowly that moonless night. I hadn't walked far when I saw my sensei walking along the alley. He was carrying something on his hands. He called me and I approached him. It turned out that the something he was carrying was a baby. He told me that he'd take me to my home…

"Sensei," I asked. "What is his name?"

"Naruto…" he said while gazing at the baby. "Someday, he'll grow up to be a great ninja; far greater than I am."

I looked at the little baby. His small hands and feet were so cute. He looked so fragile. He had blonde hair much like his father's. His small little blue eyes were similar to his Oto-san's.

I smiled. "I betcha he will…"

"Have you gotten over Obito's death?" he asked.

"A little I guess. I just don't understand why-"

He smiled.

"Do you see those dried leaves on the tree branch, Kakashi?"

I nodded.

"In time, those leaves will fall to the ground and rot. Do you know why?"

Before I could answer, he already continued talking.

"Those dried leaves fall to make way for new leaves. That's what happened. Life is like that. We have to give way to new things, new life to come into this world; a new hope. In your case, you were given a second chance."

"But, why did he give up his life for me. He didn't have to sacrifice his life for me."

"Boy, sacrifice is not something you give up. It is passed on to someone who needs it more…"

"Demo…"

"Obito sacrificed his life for you. He gave his life for you because you needed it more than he needed it…"

With those words, I was a bit enlightened. I smiled.

Then, the second disaster came…

Just before we reached my home, Aki-chan came running to us in fright.

"Hokage-sama!" She yelled. "A demon…it attacked…my home…my family…mina-san…they're all…dead!"

Sensei was shocked.

"Aki, Kakashi!" He said. "Please take care of him for a while! Wait here!"

He tendered Naruto to us. He ran towards Aki's house and disappeared into the night.

Then, after a few minutes after Yondaime-sensei left, a nine-tailed red fox appeared before me, Aki, and Sensei's son.

Aki screamed frantically. We ran but it was catching up with us. Suddenly, Aki stopped. Then, for the second time I saw her Sharingan. She made hand seals. I recognized them. It was the forbidden technique of her clan. I remember what she said a long time ago…

"Chakra is stored in our bodies. Contrary to what some ninjas think, using too much charka does not make them age but it makes them younger. The older the human cell is the more charka it can contain." She explained.

I was confused when she said that.

"Moreover, if the charka user can manipulate is use of charka, he can have immortality, though a technique, of course…our family's secret technique."

"What does it do?" I asked.

"Well, it is even better then the sharingan. It can summon monster without a contract. It can seal monsters too!"

"Any side effects?"

"Well, if you did the hand seals incorrectly you'll die. What else? It can only be used once every thirteen years…and you'll be thirteen years younger!"

She showed me the first steps. That's how I knew that she was making the technique…

"AKI-CHAN!" I yelled at the top of my lungs. "DON'T DO IT!"

But, I was too late. Chakra already began to flow out. I was indeed too late…

After the flash, I found her lying motionlessly on the ground, much like now. The Kyuubi was standing in front of me and I couldn't do anything again. I almost died. If sensei-Hokage hadn't come sooner I would have died. I saw him fight the nine-tailed demon. I just hugged the little boy in my hands. I was so afraid. Then…

"FUUIN JUTSU SHIKI FUUJIN!" Sensei yelled. He used the Dead Demon Imprisonment technique. He called me and told me to remove the blanket of innocent Naruto. With all his remaining power, he sealed the demon fox inside his newborn son…

His last words were "Without your friend, I would not have sealed the monster…It help a lot." He looked at his blonde haired son hugged and kissed him, closed his eyes, and died.

I rushed to Aki. I checked to see if there was a sign of breathing. None; not even a pulse.

I was in a state of shock. At first, I tried to stop my namida (a/n: tears) from falling. But, I knew in the end, it will just continue flowing down my cheeks. How could I let it happen! I let someone die again…

In that night, I saw two people die before my very eyes…again…with me being able to do anything… I just stood there in the darkness of the night crying while carrying the little one in my hands knowing that he would grow up without a father…

I disappeared into the night carrying the fragile little creature. I was thinking what to do… The other shinobis came into the scene. They all mourned. I could do nothing during that crucial moment. So, what can I do then? I went to my house and cried myself to sleep. I was worthless, I thought. Even if I had a sharingan, I couldn't protect them. I wasn't able to save them.

My mother and father died while I was playing outside the house. Obito-san, my best friend died before my very eyes and because of me. Now, my mentor and my loved one died in front of me and all I could do was cry and hug the infant. What kind of person am I? I thought I did not deserve to live…

a/n: So, what do you guys think? Well, I am really very sorry if I had grammar lapses or typographical errors. I'm not patient enough to proofread my work…Anyway, that's the end of chapter three! Bye-bye! P.S. if you guys had problems in understanding the story or a conflict in the original story (though this is a fan fiction), please tell me! It will be very helpful in improving my story. (Wow, this is the longest a/n I've written so far!)
