Chapter 2

*Beep*-*beep*-*beep*-*beep*-*beep*-*beep*-*beep*-*beep*-*beep*-*beep*-*beep*-*beep*-*Beep*

Please don't leave me. Stay. It'll be okay, I swear. I think… NO !

I/R: "Kakashi, please, it'll be okay…"

Nurse: "I'm sorry Sir, but you can't enter the operation theatre…"

The doctors wheeled Kakashi's body into the operation theatre. The light began to blink red. The operation had begun. They had two minutes to restore Kakashi's breathing, remove the bullet and stop the bleeding.

What are the chances of survival? Nil.

NO!

What's wrong with me? This is crazy. Kakashi-sensei has been through worse. Then why…

I/Z: "Iruka-sensei, I think you should call it a day…"

I/R: "I'm fine."

I/Z: "Iruka-sen-"

I/R: "It hurts."

I/Z: "What ?"

I/R: "It hurts, Izumo-sensei."

I/Z: "Just call me Izumo.

I/R: "Izumo-sa-"

I/Z: "Just Izumo. Let's grab a cup of coffee each and then tell me the whole thing."

Iruka and Izumo made their way to the familiar café beside the ground floor enterance. Iruka watched the rain fall while Izumo ordered the coffee.

I can take the rain on the roof of this empty

That don't bother me

I can take a few tears now and then and just let 'em out

I/Z: "So tell me, what really is going on between you and Kakashi."

I/R: "It's nothing like that, Izumo."

I/Z: "Then what is it?"

I'm not afraid to cry every once in a while even though

Goin' on with you gone still upsets me

There are days every now and again I pretend I'm okay

But that's not what gets me

I love him…

NO! That's crazy! Okay…fine, so I just like him.

Like like…

NO ! Arrrrgh…! I've lost it.

I'm just worried. Yeah, that's it…

NOT!

Iruka gave up with a sigh.

I/R: "I…I don't know…"

What hurts the most

Was being so close

And havin' so much to say

And watchin' you walk away

And never knowin'

What could've been

And not seein' that lovin' you

Is what I was tryin' to do

I/Z: "That's not what the blush on your face says…"

Iruka hated his face. True, his skin was tan. So why was his blush so obvious, especially at the mention of a certain Jounins's name. Goddamn Nature! Sighing again, he firmly pressed the bridge of his nose.

I/R: "Is it really that obvious ?"

I/Z: "Yes."

I/R: "What am I supposed to do?"

I/Z: "Tell him."

I/R: "You don't even know what I'm talking about…"

I/Z: "It's very obvious…"

I/R:" Every time I even walk past him, he turns stiff and makes an excuse to get away, or just walks away, pretending that he didn't notice me..."

It's hard to deal with the pain of losin' you everywhere I go

But I'm doin' it

It's hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and I'm alone

Still harder getting' up, getting' dressed, livin' with this regret

But I know if I could do it over

I would trade, give away all the words that I saved in my heart

That I left unspoken

I/Z: "Woah! That definitely does not seems like him… I think he likes you but doesn't want to show it, in case to keep you out of danger, or something…"

I/R: "It dosen't even make any sense. What ca-"

I/Z: "I'll do it !"

I/R: "Do wha-"

I/Z: "Get you two guys together !"

I/R: "It''ll never happen…"

I/Z: "Wanna bet…"

I/R:"God! No!"

Kotetsu burst into the café.There was the most creepiest, longest, widest grin on his face, that send shudders down both Izumo and Iruka's backs.

K/O: "He lives !"

I/R:"What?"

I/Z: "Who ?"

Kotetsu gave them 'The Look (tm)' .

K/O:"Kakashi, who else."

I/R:"Oh…"

I/Z: "Hmm…"

I/R: "Can we see him ?"

K/O: "Yeah, sure."

After spending an hour talking to Kakashi, Izumo decided that he should give Iruka and him some time alone. So they…

…obviously left.

What hurts the most

Is being so close

And havin' much to say

And watchin' you walk away

And never knowin'

What could have been

And not seein' that lovin' you

Is what I was tryin' to do

Oh yeah

I/R:"Hello Kakashi-sensei, Do you feel any better?"

What hurts the most

Was being so close

And havin' much to say

And watchin' you walk away

And never knowin'

What could have been

And not seein' that lovin' you

Is what I was tryin' to do

Nurse: "I'm sorry Sir, but you'll have to leave. Visiting hours are over."

I/R: "Oh, alright then, see you later Kakashi-sens-"

K/A: "Call me Kakashi."
