Chapter 15

"Obio, what are you doing here? What's going on?" asked Mayu.

"I hired Daaku to help me, because I didn't think I could do this by myself. But now I see I should of done it myself." explained Obio. "The Hidden Darkness Village's Kage isn't going to be happy when he learns that one of their best ninja was killed."

"You mean you hired the man who killed my brother and sister to kidnap me!" Mayu shouted at Obio.

"If I had known that, I wouldn't have hired him." said Obio.

'Ninja hiring ninja! What's the world coming to?' thought Kakashi.

"Did you order him to kill Kakashi?" Mayu asked Obio.

"Yes."

"Why Obio? Why would you do that? That is just twisted!"

"Why!" responded Obio angrily. "Because you are my woman! Mine alone! I can't have you defiled by other men! Especially the likes of him!" he added pointing to Kakashi.

"I was never yours to begin with, Obio." said Mayu. "Jeez, this is what I get for going out with you, just because you were alone and no one would talk to you. I gave it a shot, and found that I can never feel that way about you."

"Just like the day you left," said Obio. "You wouldn't listen to reason. So I felt some force was in order, knowing you wouldn't come back to me on your own."

"This isn't the way to do it, Obio." said Mayu. "Look, you need help. Go back to the village and get it. But I don't know if I can forgive you."

"I'll only go if you come with me and be mine again." said Obio. "If you think about it, I did you a favor. Your brother and sister have been avenged. It's also good for me, because now I don't have to pay him. Just come with me and this incident will our little secret. Of course, we'll have to kill the Copy Ninja and those genin to keep them quiet."

"No! I won't let you! Hell, I'll kill you if I have to!" shouted Mayu. But she wasn't sure if she could fight back. She used a lot of chakra fighting Daaku.

"Well, if that's how you feel, then you leave me no choice." said Obio. Then in the blink of an eye, he managed to grab hold of Mayu.

"Let her go!" Kakashi commanded Obio, showing him the blue lighting-like chakra in his hand. "Or I will-"

"Kakashi, no! Don't!" Mayu pleaded. The chakra in Kakashi's hand then faded away. Obio used one hand to hold Mayu and the other to grab his large suriken. Then he threw it like a boomerang, so it would come back to hit him and Mayu.

"MAYU!" shouted Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura, not knowing what to do. Kakashi managed to pull Mayu away from Obio before the suriken hit. Mayu was fine. Kakashi's arm was cut, but fortunately it wasn't too deep. As for Obio, he was sliced in half.

"Da.mn…you…Ka...ka...shi…" he muttered.

The genin stared in horror at gory display which was Obio's remains. Sakura puked, while Naruto and Sasuke tried to hold back the urge to puke.

Then it began to rain.

Tears began to steam down Mayu's face. Naruto was about to comfort her, but Kakashi quickly wrapped his arms around her.

"I-I d-didn't want it to end this way." she sobbed into Kakashi's shoulder. "Why did this have to happen?"

Kakashi didn't answer. He just held her close and stroked her hair, trying to comfort her best he could. But she just kept on crying, as if she was finally letting out tears she had been holding back for years. She cried for her parents, for Tenshi, for Chiyuu, and for Obio. As she continued to cry, she just kept asking over and over, "Chiyuu, did I do the right thing?'
