Chapter Nine - Goodbye and Hello
Iruka felt a warm tingly sensation burning into the left side of his chest, he pulled his shirt down gently and gasped. The scale had attached itself the area above his heart.
"Oh…Kakashi…" Iruka mumbled sadly, realising that Kakashi was dead now.
He was probably frolicking amongst pretty fluffy clouds in a silken white gown, with all the other nice dead guys.
"Damn it…how the hell am I supposed to get down from here?" Iruka said worriedly, peering over the edge of the cloud.
Iruka stared longingly at the gates of heaven, grand gold and glistening metal frame. Kakashi had dissolved when he stepped through them. He'd told Iruka to visit him…but how?
"Hmm…open sesame!" Iruka shouted.
Nothing happed.
"Um…um…Abracadabra! Kazam! Whoo! Open up now or I'll…!" Iruka shook his head in a determined fashion; there must be a way to get in there!
Iruka looked at the shiny scale glued to his chest like a brooch invisibly pinned to his wonderfully tanned skin.
"I can't open it!" Iruka had moaned upon finding that the gates wouldn't open before. Kakashi had handed him the scale and said cheerily, "Not without this scale you can't…"
Iruka remembered how Kakashi had transformed, he'd closed his eyes and a strange aura had surrounded him. Iruka replayed the image of what Kakashi had done and imitated him.
"Okay Kakashi-kun…here it goes…" Iruka mumbled nervously, as his skin prickled and his forehead grew sweaty.
He closed his eyes and concentrated, he felt cold, then warm and tingly. When he opened his eyes again, the transformation was complete and Iruka was completely frozen in amazement.
"Wow…" Iruka eventually gasped, looking at his hand to see that he had large golden nailed paws.
Iruka turned his head tentatively, his neck must have elongated by miles (well not literally but you know what I mean), because he could clearly turn his head backwards to see his own tail.
"Wow…oh wow!" Iruka chuckled happily, waving his pale jade-scaled tail around.
It felt so weird to have a tail, a powerful extra limb. Iruka wiggled it around and then giggled like a child exploring a new toy, when he realised he could blow flames out of his nostrils.
"Wow! This is so cool! I mean um, hot!" Iruka gasped as the rays of red flames shot out of his snout.
"Oh shit!" Iruka cursed, as he accidentally burnt away his clothes, which had been lying in front of him. They must've have fallen off during the transformation.
The great golden gates suddenly creaked open and standing there was Iruka's smiling parents and a cheekily grinning Kakashi.
Iruka swivelled round, his tail wagging happily like a puppies.
"Mum! Dad! Kakashi!" Iruka said their names gleefully as he ran towards them. But considering his size as a mighty lizard, he only really had to take a step forward to be standing really close to them.
"Oh! Iruka!" His Mum said happily, with tears in her eyes, "You've grown so much!"

ruka's parents and Kakashi were dressed in a beautiful light material gown and they had bright white-feathered wings and golden halos above their heads. Though Kakashi's halo was tilted gently to one side as if mirroring his soft silver hair.
Kakashi ran a hand through his super fluffy silver hair and his white angel gown floated airily about his ankles. He smiled at Iruka and Iruka's large dragon eyes watered.
"Oh come on son! Don't cry! Crying is for girly wimps…" Iruka's father said cheerily, but even his own eyes looked moist.
"Oh Iruka! We have so much to catch up on! Kakashi-kun was keeping us posted on what you were up to when he visited us, but oh my Iruka-chan! Come on in!" Iruka's Mum cooed.
And with that the dragon dashed into heaven, swallowed by golden light.
