The intercom goes off and a voice calls me down to the office. My heart beats faster because I think I'm on trouble. I get to the office and the lady at the desk gives me a look that actually scares me more but I don't know why.

"Sit down honey, you dad will be here in a moment," she says to me sweetly

I nod once and sit down at the chair facing the door, waiting for my dad. I only wait for a couple minutes when my dad runs though the door with tears running down his face. I stand up from the chair as he falls to his knees and pulls me into a hug that made it hard to breathe. He's shaking as he holds me tightly scaring me to the very core.

"W-what's wrong dad?"

He jumps like he got shocked and he wipes his tears off his face. He stands back up on to his feet.

"We need to go," he says sternly turning around about to walk out of the school

I follow him out of the building. He drives in silence. I have no idea where we are going and why he took me out of school but I feel like I shouldn't say anything. He drives down the road and I see a huge building, I know it is the hospital. I've been to this building a lot lately because of my mother who has been getting sick. But the doctors said she was getting better and that she would be able to go home soon. I look over at my dad he is squeezing the steering wheel so hard his knuckles are turning white. I bite my lip feeling nervous as to why my dad is acting like this. He parks in the parking lot and gets out of the car without a word. I follow him into the building, but as I follow him he doesn't even look back once to see if I was behind him. We get to the front desk with a young girl behind it, my dad says we are here to meet my mother. She just nods and shows us to a room. Dad walks into the room before I do but once I do I'm shocked at what I see. My mother that I visited not even two days ago look like she is on her death bed. She looks weak, fragile, and the eyes once full of life are now just lifeless orbs. She looks at me in the doorway and she tries to smile but even that small action seems like it is taking her life away. I walk towards her with out knowing what I'm doing. Once I am by her side she puts her hand on my cheek. She smiles weakly at me then turns to my father.

"Sakumo could you please leave I need to talk to Kakashi alone," she says to him

He nods and leaves reluctantly.

"Mom what's wrong?" I ask on the verge of tears

She looks out the window.

"I'm dying Kakashi the doctors are happy that I even survived this long."

"B-but they said the other day that you would be able to come back home soon." my voice gets higher and my speech become faster.

"That was when I was getting better but now..." she trails off

"How can that be though?" I say trying not to yell at her for being stupid

She looks back at me with tired old eyes, "I don't know."

I'm about to say something back when I notice just how run down my mother looks, how she doesn't look her age anymore. She pats the bed beside her.

"Kakashi come here."

I get on the bed and lay beside her as she puts her arms around me.

"Mom...I'm sorry."

"You have nothing to be sorry for." she whispers to me quietly.

I feel tears building up and decide just to let them loose knowing my mother can't see them. Her arms loosen around me.

"Mom?" I question

She doesn't answer me, then I hear the dreaded noise of the heart monitor flat lining. I jump out of the bed and hit the nurse button. I go towards the door and yell down the hall trying to find anybody to help my mom. My dad runs down the hall towards me hearing me yell. He runs past me and goes straight to mom. He tries to start her heart again by CPR.

A couple of nurses come into the room with a crash cart and move my dad away. I just stand there frozen to my spot unable to make my body move. The line on the monitor jumps but doesn't sustain the beat. Then everything just stops, they stop trying to save my mother because she is too far gone. The doctor comes into the room and talks to the nurses briefly. He goes across the room to the monitor and turns it off.

"I'm sorry for your losses," he say sullenly and walks out of the room without another word.

I look over at my father and see the dark shadows slowly taking over his mind.

A/N: I know this is way over due and I like how it turned out but that's just me though so please tell me what you think so far :-)
