Come To My Paradise: A KakashixIruka Story: Part Thirteen – A promise From My Heart++
Iruka had been fooled all along. He had no idea that the mission he and the others were given was all for nothing. He started to give up hope, thinking that he was just going to die in the hands of this fraud. He felt weak and ineffective, but it made him so angry that someone would dare to impersonate someone like Helena all this time. Iruka couldn't believe that he had never noticed. "What about Helena? Where...where is she? Why does it always...have to be like this? Why does it have to be me?" Iruka kept asking himself. Iruka knew that he had no chance against his opponent. The only thing he could do was cry. The golem put the tips of it's fingers together. "Boulders of Blood and Destruction!!" It shouted. Rocks flew from it's body aiming to hit Iruka, who couldn't do a single thing.
"Man, where is Iruka? It's taking him a long time just to wash his face…" Kakashi said to himself, as he rolled over in his bed. He kept looking at the digital clock flashing because the time wasn't set. Kakashi sighed. "Maybe he changed his mind again about me...and went back to Helena. But I thought I could convince him to stay with me. Why does this happen to me?" Kakashi rolled over onto his back and looked up at the ceiling, putting his hands behind his head. He imagined Iruka sitting on top of him, staring at him in the eyes as they both smiled, leaning in closer. "I wish that would happen, and so many other things, but...I don't think he would stay with me. He probably thinks that loving the same gender is disgusting or something." Kakashi thought, sadly. "I love him, but I guess he doesn't feel the same way for -- huh?" Kakashi heard a loud bang in the hotel somewhere. He got out of bed fast and looked around the room. "It sounded like it came from the bathroom or something...Is Iruka okay?" Kakashi said as he grabbed a few kunais and put them in his weapon pocket. He opened the door and slowly walked down the hall.
Iruka had been hit a few times by rocks soaring at him. He was bleeding and injured, but he just sat on the bathroom floor crying. "Ka...Kakashi...I'm so sorry...this is the end of the line for me...I'm sorry I never found you, Helena...Sorry Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura, but I'm not gonna make it..." Iruka thought, as tears and blood streamed down his face and onto the floor. But he was mostly sorry for Kakashi. He never showed him love, and he was always with the disguised "Helena." He could have been there for Kakashi. He saw Kakashi always upset over him, yet he still just kept getting fooled by the golem, thinking that Helena was the only person he needed. Iruka knew that he would miss Kakashi a lot, but he wanted to die in the hands of his enemy. There wasn't a thing he could do...he felt so useless like an academy student, just learning how to become a ninja, but it was like he kept failing all the exams.
Kakashi saw a light coming from under the bathroom door, knowing that Iruka had to be in here. The light in Helena's room was turned off, so he figured that Iruka mustn't have gone in there like he had thought, unless he had forgotten to turn the bathroom light off. Kakashi lifted his hand to slowly open the door. For some reason, he was shaking and his heart was beating fast. Something told him that Iruka was in trouble. He sighed, twisting the door handle.
Iruka was going to die. But he didn't really mind...if that was the way it was going to end, then that's the way it should be, or at least that's what he was believing. "Ninja Rocks of Doom!!" The golem shouted. As more bigger and faster rocks came for Iruka, the bathroom door opened. Iruka gasped, as a figure jumped in front of him. "Ka...Kakashi!!!!" Iruka shouted. The rocks hit Kakashi in the stomach, and blood came out from his mouth. Iruka stared. "I...I will protect you, Iruka...I made a promise from my heart..." Kakashi whispered, putting his hands together for a secret technique. "Thank you, Kakashi...you might have a chance." Iruka thought.
