The next day the rain poured down in the village endlessly as everyone that knew Aino gathered around her burial. Tears mixed with the rain as Tsunade preformed the ceremony. She felt like it was the least she could do since she felt like she herself had lost a younger sister the way Aino and her got along.
"We are here today to lay to rest Aino Misaki."
Kakashi drifted in and out, as he remembered all the times Aino and him spent together. The six mouths of peace were the best except for the usual missions. They would splash water on each other when washing the dishes, he would watch Aino play in the rain barefoot, he learned that she really liked it when he wore black tank tops, they even saw each other naked once on accident of course. Those days had gone in a flash and Kakashi felt like he would do anything to have them back. Kakashi looked up into the sky to mix his tears with the rain.
'Aino'
was the only thought running through his head as his fist gripped loosed and a small silver ring with blue sapphires around it fell to the ground and rolled with the water down a drain never to be seen again.
Sixteen year have past since Aino died and Kakashi was now forty-five year old. He had never married in those sixteen year but he did keep his part of the deal and tried nut now matter how close he got to someone his love for Aino remained the strongest. As he was completing an S rank mission that night a hand full of Makibishies got him in the back. One got him right in the spine so he was paralyzed from the waist down. As the poison slowly took hold of him, he saw Aino's spirit appeared and hold out her hand
"Kakashi its time to go."
She said with her famous smile.
With what little strength he had, he grabbed her hand and closed his eyes. Kakashi's spirit joins hers to be together no matter what."
I shut the book and looked up to see tears in the children eyes.
"That was sad story Six Hokage."
A young girl said to me.
I smiled and ruffled her hair to make her feel a little better.
"Naruto are you reading them that story again you know it makes them cry."
Sakura said holding two bags of groceries.
"Sorry Sakura."
I said hiding a smile.
'It's now been two years since Kakashi-sensei had passed away and Sakura had now become a top Med-ninja. She had done what Aino asked and shows Inner Sakura and I'm still lost on what she wanted but I believe she got it. Sakura is now married to Sasuke and have eight kids, which I believe Sasuke wanted to revive the Uchiha clan. Sasuke is the leader of the ANBU and three years ago, he finally found his brother and killed him. As for me well as Aino and I both knew I became Hokage. I married Hinata and have one child and one more on the way. Every year when the cherry blossoms bloom Sasuke, Sakura, and I go up to visit Aino-sensei and Kakashi-sensei who's tombstones are next to each other just how they would want it.
