Come to my Paradise: A KakashixIruka Story: Part Twelve – Pain and Despair++
Kakashi hugged Iruka back, and Iruka laid his head on Kakashi's shoulder. Iruka felt that he needed Kakashi and that he should be with him always, but he still wasn't sure. Iruka felt all better now, as the tears slowly stopped. Kakashi smiled and stroked Iruka's hair. "You know, you should wash your face, Iruka. I don't want to see you sad anymore..." Kakashi said, as they both let go of each other. "Yes...you're right, Kakashi. I'll do that right now." Iruka replied, wiping his eyes with his hand. He got up to walk to the bathroom, but Kakashi grabbed Iruka's arm. Iruka turned around and looked at him. "Kakashi?" "Umm...you know, I'm kind of lonely in a room all by myself..." Kakashi said, as he looked back at Iruka with puppy dog eyes. Iruka sighed and Kakashi let go of his arm. "Ok, you go back to bed, Kakashi. I'll be there in a minute." Iruka said. Kakashi grinned, and grabbed Iruka's pillows and blanket. He carried them to his room and put them on Iruka's bed.
Iruka got to the bathroom and turned the tap on. He rinsed his face with the water. He sighed as he turned the tap off. He noticed someone opened their door and heard footsteps coming to the bathroom. "Oh crap, I think that's Helena!! She might want me to come into her room...but Kakashi will kill me if I don't come to him, like last time. What do I do?! I hate being the center of attention..." Iruka thought to himself, thinking if he should hide behind the shower curtain or get in one of the cupboards. Helena got to the bathroom and saw Iruka standing there with the 'oh-my-god-I'm-caught' look on his face. "Oh, I thought it was you, Iruka...what are you doing? Your face looks...red, and your eyes..." said Helena. "Oh it's nothing; I just...burnt my face on the stove, that's all. And I've found out I have the Sharingan!" Iruka lied, as he laughed nervously. "Are you alright?" Helena asked, walking over to him. Iruka blushed. "Y-yeah, I'm fine..." He tried to get out of the bathroom and make Helena go back to bed, but he couldn't go anywhere. Helena grabbed his arms pinned him up against the wall. "Um, Helena? Shouldn't you be asleep?" Iruka asked. "But I can't get to sleep. Not without you, Iruka...I need you next to me." Helena said softly, leaning in closer to Iruka. Iruka didn't really want to kiss Helena right now. All he wanted to do was stay with Kakashi. His words meant so much to Iruka now. "Helena, I can't--" Iruka said, but Helena kissed him and they both fell into the shower. "Helena!! I don't think we should be--" "Oh Iruka, don't you love me anymore? Come on, let's just have some fun tonight. I promise we'll make it a moment to remember..." Iruka noticed that Helena's voice was changing into a deeper one. She took Iruka's shirt off and tossed it onto the floor. "H-Helena?! What's happening to you?!" Iruka asked, but Helena just smiled. "I love you, Iruka...please love me the way you used to..." Helena's voice kept on getting into a deeper tone. Iruka's eyes widened, then he smirked. "I can't believe I've been fooled all along..." Iruka said. "I know that Helena wouldn't do this to me..." Iruka pulled his kunai out from his back pocket and stabbed Helena in the chest.
Kakashi sat on his bed, thinking if this would be the only chance he got with Iruka. If Iruka chose to go back to Konoha, he was sure they would see each other again, and maybe go on another mission together...maybe just the two of them, one day. But if he stayed with Helena, he would never see him again. He decided that tonight, he wouldn't let any interruptions happen. He would show Iruka how much he loves him and how much he truly cares about him. Kakashi put his hands together, and closed his eyes...
"Obito...if you can hear me, I'd like to tell you my true feelings...
Iruka is very important to me. Every day since my birthday, I have tried to get closer and closer as I could to him. I don't want all of my efforts to go to waste, and that's why I want him to stay. I want Iruka to go back to Konoha with me, Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura. If I could wish for anything...it would be to have him beside me forever. I need Iruka...he's the only one that I feel I need to protect. I love him. Please make him stay forever..."
Blood was everywhere in the shower where Iruka and Helena were. Iruka pulled the kunai out of Helena's chest. "Try imitating someone else." He said, as he lifted the body off of him. Iruka got out of the shower and washed his hands. He sighed. "Where am I supposed to put this body?" He thought. "And how do I tell Kakashi? And the others? I know Kakashi will understand, but..." Suddenly, as Iruka was putting his shirt back on, Helena got up and white smoke went everywhere. Iruka stared as the smoke started to go away. He saw a giant rock-like monster in Helena's place. Iruka knew that all along, this wasn't Helena...Instead, it was some sort of golem who had successfully used a transformation jutsu, pretending to be Helena. Iruka had started to wonder where the real Helena could be, but now he had other problems...
