A/N: Thank you to all of you guys who had the heart to review! To all of you who didn't, that's okay, at least you're reading-but I would appreciate a shout-out now and then hint, hint. This chapter may make a few people angry and I apologize for that. Just to let you know, flames are welcome. Now that we have that settled, on with the next chapter.

Chapter
Five: Failure
Sakura
noticed the difference in Kakashi. Her once vibrant sensei was now
an emotional mess. He hardly ate anymore, and the bags under his
eyes proved he wasn't sleeping well-if at all. Every time they had
to stop, Kakashi would urge them on. He seemed desperate to find
Anko.
They had been looking
for their lost teammate for about a week when some thing dreadful
occurred.
"What was that?"
Sakura asked Naruto, who was right next to her. She had heard a
rustle in the trees ahead.
"I don't know,"
Naruto replied warily. "Kakashi, I think we should stop for a
minute."
"I think that would
be an excellent idea," said an all too familiar voice. Kakashi
stiffened.
"Where is she
Itachi? What have you done with her?" Kakashi asked, his voice
full of rage-and a hint of fear.
"Why
should I tell you
when I can show you?"
Itachi asked evilly. "Mongekyou Sharingan."
Every
thing in Kakashi's world went red, and Naruto and Sakura
disappeared. Oh no, I'm back! Kakashi
thought to himself.
"Yes, you're back
in my world," Itachi said, His voice showing how amused he was at
Kakashi's fear.
"Why did you bring
me here?" Kakashi asked, his voice betraying him as it trembled in
fear.
"Why don't you
take a look?" Itachi replied, pointing his finger at some thing.
Kakashi looked over
his shoulder to see Anko and Itachi.
"Anko?" Kakashi
asked, his voice sounding happy for the first time in a week. He
seemed to have forgotten the fact that he was in an entirely
different world. She didn't respond. Itachi took out a shuriken
and stepped closer to her.
"Are you ready to
die?" he asked maliciously.
"No, please,"
Anko begged through sobs that shook her whole body. Kakashi tried to
move, tried to go to her rescue, but he couldn't/ some thing was
holding him back. Itachi took up the shuriken and placed it on
Anko's throat.
"NO!" she
screamed. Kakashi could see the fear in her eyes as she begged for
her life. He couldn't move, he couldn't even turn his head.
Then, Itachi looked into her eyes one last time, letting her see
that he had no remorse for what he was about to do, and sliced the
shuriken through Anko's throat.
"Anko!" Kakashi
yelled as she fell, lifeless, to the ground-the look of fear forever
plastered on her face.
Poor Anko," Itachi
said in mock sorrow. "It's a pity she had to die-she was a great
kunoichi." Kakashi couldn't even reply, as the red world around
him slowly faded into the one he knew so well. The only thing was
that it wasn't the same, Anko was gone. He had failed her.
A/N: Okay, I know this was a little short, but I figured you wouldn't want me to drag it out. I know what you guys are thinking, but (believe it or not) this is not the end of the fic! I still have a lot more to go. I'm also, going to give you guys a little hint: this chapter may not be what it seems. That's the hint. As I said before, flames are welcome. Now I really must dash so that I can start planning my next chapter.
