Asphyxiated
His breaths come in even intervals. He calculates when he should inhale and exhale according to the amount of steps he takes as he runs through the trees. Counting the breaths and counting when he'll breathe helps him to know that he's still alive. He still has a purpose in life.
So as it seems like he's flying through the forest, he's telling himself, one two inhale one two exhale. It's been three years since Sensei and Obito died, both for noble causes. Rin left a while after the attack of the Kyuubi, where she went Kakashi doesn't know. He can't help but think he stole that Sharingan. He blocks out that little voice in his head telling him that he's a thief, that he doesn't deserve to be alive. He's learned to block out a lot of things; the only thing he focuses on is breathing, a rhythmic pattern that is his and his alone.
One two inhale one two exhale
He was told that a ninja from Konoha had deserted them, and they ran the risk of betraying the village. His mission was to hunt and kill that one person. He was catching up. He saw the ninja slowing down. He didn't waste time; all that could be heard was the sound of a thousand birds chirping as he ran toward and stuck his hand in the left side of their back. He felt the heart slowing as he pulled his arm out. The person fell on their back to the ground, their face being revealed to Kakashi.
What he sees is all too familiar light brown hair and eyes and red bandages that can only belong to one person.
"Rin?" he asks in disbelief, revealed ebony eye filled with shock.
"K..Kakashi…," is all that she utters before once bright eyes dull and become glassy and lifeless.
He watches her until her breaths slow and eventually come to a halt.
Suddenly, he can't breathe.
The End
