Pakkun and I must have been running for hours before we finally reached where he smelled him, it was at the top of a dangerous waterfall. I summoned all of my dogs,
"Find him." I said.
"But Kakashi this is where the smell is coming from." Pakkun said and I released the genjutsu. Valentine had her wrists bound and I was Taki with his men.
"How did you survive?" I asked.
"I have my ways." He hissed.
"No thanks to you. I had to suffer for a day, then I figured It would make me feel better to have revenge. I wanted to make you feel the worst pain of your life. So I did what I do best. Find out things. I found out where you live, only when I went there your landlord told me you moved. When I asked where she told me you had a girlfriend. I never thought the situation would turn out his perfectly." He said smilling sadistically.
He was too caught up in his little rant to notice some of my dogs had disappeared. They came out of the ground and grabbed his men by the neck injuring them a lot.
"This is between you and me, you'll pay if you drag her into this anymore." I said. He laughed.
"You don't get it. At first I was going to kill her in front of you, but then I got to actually smell her. She has an interesting ability doesn't she? Do you have any idea how much she would sell for in a trade? So now I have a new plan. You'll die knowing she'll have a horrible life. And she'll life a bad life knowing the person she loved died for her. Its quite perfect really." He said laughing an insane laugh.
I clenched my fists, I wanted to kill him so badly.
"You're going to regret telling me that. You can't even defend yourself. You were too caught up in your rant to notice your little body guards are down for the count." I said.
He looked behind himself to find that they were al unconscious. He charged at me with his sward and I blocked it with a Kunai, I knew he was very intelligent and probably knew a lot about my technique so I took out my sharingon to study his a bit. It was very complicated he seemed to have many different sword styles, and when he realized I was a little better he took out his second and I had to learn that aswell. It took about an hour before I found an opening and used a genjutsu on him to knock him unconscious. I was assigned to assassinate him before and I didn't complete my mission so I completed it then, I made sure he wouldn't come back this time though. I used my Kunai to decapitate.
I was content until I heard a bloodcurling scream. I turned around to one of the body guards standing over the waterfall edge. He had thrown Valentine off of it.
"FUCK!" I shouted and was going to jump off after her when my dogs ran to me to stop me.
"Kakashi that's stupid you know how dangerous these falls are! When people fall off they tend to go missing, you have to go to the bottom to see of you can find her." Pakkun said and started to run to the bottom.
"GOD DAMNIT!" I said and started running at full speed towards the bottom. It took about five minutes. On the way there I was Panicking,
-what if she was dead? What would I do? I love her too much to loose her. I cant let he die! This is all my fault, I should have been paying more attention to her than to Taki. I can't believe I let this happen! She'll never forgive me, I can't ever show my face to her. I can never ask her to forgive me for letting this happen.- I kept thinking the worst of the situation.
I reached the bottom,
"VALENTINE!!! VALENTINE!!" I shouted and searched the water looking for a sign of her.
I couldn't even smell her… her smell stops after death-
-No I cant think that way!- I told myself.
"GOD DAMNIT VALENTINE!! WHERE ARE YOU!" I shouted and didn't even find any blood.
Pakkun looked at me sadly.
"Kakashi she's not here… I told you people go missing after falling, it's because the waterfall completely destroys them." He said.
"DAMNIT!" I shouted and punched the ground in. I sat down and held my head.
Tears escaped my eyes. Pakkun and my dogs were going to confront me but I didn't want to talk to anyone. I teleported back to the house and laid down in the bed.
-I let her die, I was so close to her, and I let her die. She always told her she felt safe when she was around her and I proved her wrong. How could I do that? I gave her false hope, I made her feel safe and I let this happen? How could I put her in danger after she told me that. It wasn't fair to her.- I thought.
I opened a secret compartment in my dresser and took out a velvet box. I opened it to reveal a diamond ring. It was the one I was going to propose with. Pakkun must've taken care of the report to the hokage.
They all came home, I could hear them, They were all sad as well. I stared at the ring for a couple of hours, remembering all of the things she would say. I remember I planned this big dinner for her with candle light and rose petals. I even gave her a list of what each rose petal meant. She said that she cared for the little things I do, like when I tell her she'd beautiful, of when I always tell her I like her hair, or that I notice what perfume she's always wearing. She told me nothing else matters, that she didn't care for superficial things like money. I put my hand over my eyes and let tears escape. I was going to spend the rest of my life with her. I wanted to… She changed my boring lifestyle. If I hadn't met her I would be getting up for my next mission from my apartment this morning, and I would have had the usual nightmare… But this morning I was waking up in a forest next to a beautiful women I loved after a nice dream or good times. And I let that slip through my fingers.
I got up from my bed and walked outside. I wiped my tears and bought two roses. I walked to the KIA stone and put one down. This one meant 'I'm sorry.' I put down another, 'I love you'.
(ITS NOT OVER YET!! DON'T WORRY!!)
