My breath is taken away,
I cannot believe what I am seeing.
It is like an unreal dream come true,
For the one that is before me are you.
Ch.8
Kakashi couldn't believe what he saw. Standing before him was a tall and elegant woman. She wore a simple, flowing gown that let of the luster of the moon. Her long, dark brown hair went below her fully developed bosom. Around her neck was a ninja head band that was an ivory white headband. A silver rectangular plate showed the Village Hidden in the Leaves emblem. Her skin was a light tan and had shiny marks that looked like tear droplets glistened on her arms. Last but not least, her eyes were a dark pinkish red color.
"Chiharu?" he said. The grown girl nodded yes. As her hair flew in the breeze, Kakashi approached her slowly and cautiously. Man, this has to be a dream, he thought. He placed his hand on her hair and stroked the luscious locks. Chiharu smiled and looked into his eyes and murmured," It's been a while. Ever since I went above the clouds, I've been watching you and I still love you." Her ghostly cheeks turned into a light pink as she spoke.
When she blinked her eyes, she felt a pair of strong hands wrap around her. Then the sensation of warm lips press against hers. She looked at him with sparkling eyes. There was no mask on his face. His handsome features were exposed. After he finished, Chiharu placed her thin hand on his face. On his left cheek, she saw an X-shaped scar. She rubbed it gingerly. Suddenly, a shock stirred in her body. "GO BACK!" She barked at a surprised Kakashi that was shoved backwards.
As he tumbled onto the lush ground, he saw Chiharu levitating above the monument. Dark purplish marks were glowing through her dress. The gown was flapping wildly in a violent gust that suddenly came and her eyes were emanating a black and white light. Then, a giant dragon flew into her body. A blinding flash hurt his eyes. He heard a cry of anguish in the air as an ear piercing screech rang. The flash disappeared and Chiharu was lying before the giant stone, unconscious.
Kakashi rushed over to her. As tears filtered in his eyes, he thought, Gosh, did I lose her again? Suddenly, the woman opened her eyes. "Hey, you're not going to cry, are you?" She interrogated. "Heck, no!" He snapped back. His face was a flushed red. "Then why are you red?" she teased. "Uh, what happened to your eyes?" Kakashi replied, changing the subject. Her eyes were no longer pink. Instead, one eye was white while the other was black. Chiharu giggled. "Oh, this? If I wanted to come back to life, I had to call upon my last chakra and bring myself back to earth. When I merged with it, I had to pay the price of giving up my powers of my clan and make room for the dragon." "Well, I'll bring you back to my place. Ya see, when your parents were gone for a mission a while back, they never came back," Kakashi said sadly. "Oh, I already saw them, and they told me when I go back, they wanted me to say 'Hi' to you," she replied.
Once the conversation ended, he lifted her up gently and made his merry way home. Now, this will be another beginning, Chiharu is back!
A/n- Hope you tune in to see what's going to happen in the next chapter with the return of Chiharu!
