Damsel in Distress

Why is he gone?

Why did he die?

He lost every thing but one single eye.

Who was he trying to kid?

Acting that way,

Saving my life but,

Tossing his away.

It's hard to go on

And not feel the dark clouds

Over top my shoulders.

If only I was strong to defend my self.

He'd be alright and we'd go on.

But no I have to be the weakest link

Among the three, a feeble healer,

Who couldn't save his life.

For a damsel in distress is all I'll ever be.


Running home I watched our prodigy leader,

Guilt rolling off like waves,

Silence binds him more than ever

As the death of the companion sinks in,

The loss is deafening.

Among the three, a pathetic healer,

Who couldn't save his life.

For a damsel in distress is all I'll ever be.


Months have past and I still feel the pain,

My bleak soul still withers with the shame,

But was done was done,

I will not dwell for I have grown stronger,

Smarter, a professional frozen to the core.

A perfect medic I will be for the memory of one I held so dear.

Among the three, an insecure healer,

Who couldn't save his life.

For a damsel in distress is what I'll never be, again.

A Vow I swear to my self, to protect and healmy loved ones lives

To be as honorable as my fallen comrade,

Till death we meet again.

I do not own any of the characters in Naruto, although I wish I did. The story of Kakashi's team is some thing I find tragic but not only because of the heart breaking deaths but also at the cost there was to receive the epiphany it brings to both Rin and Kakashi. In this one-shot I wrote what I thought Rin might have felt after this disastrous incident and I hope you liked it. If you did reviews would be appreciated.
