Title: Just So You Know…
Chapter 3: Save You
Paring: Kakashi X Kurenai
Disclaimer: My dream is to own Naruto… But it's really impossible… *sobs*
The plan wasn't working. Itachi and Kisame found out where we kept Naruto. The fact that they were almost winning, frightened me a lot. I promised myself that I will not commit the same mistake that I did when I let Sasuke escape and join forces with Orochimaru. This wasn't good. They're trying to take my students away from me and here I am, again failing to do my duty as a shinobi… as a teacher. I hated the fact that I was seriously injured. I was getting weaker and weaker as I continued fighting them. I was losing my strength due to the excessive use of my sharingan. I tried dodging and blocking all of Itachi's attacks while Kurenai tried her best to beat Kisame. I watched her and saw that she too was covered in blood and was getting weaker every second.
I got a bit distracted while thinking about Kurenai and of how she's doing. Itachi successfully hit me with his kunai.
"Kakashi, are you alright?" Kurenai asked when she saw what happened. "You're bleeding!"
"I'm fine Kurenai. Don't worry. I can still fight." I lied. I didn't want to upset her.
"But-
"I'm fine. Don't worry."
As Kurenai was talking to me, I noticed Kisame motioning towards her. He was about to attack her. I didn't want her to get hurt so I pushed her aside and used my body as a shield to protect her.
"Kakashi!"
"Tsk, Tsk, Tsk. You've been really careless, Hatake Kakashi." Kisame said with an evil smirk on his face. "You're really pathetic. You'd rather get yourself killed while saving your colleague and your student than save yourself and leave them behind."
"We would really like to stay here and finish the both of you, but too bad cause we're running out of time and we've got a powerful jinjuriki to kidnap!" Itachi added. Soon they left and Kurenai and I were alone.
"Kakashi, please hold on." Kurenai begged. There were tears in her eyes. She was crying…
"Don't cry. I hate to see you cry." I told her as I wipe her tears away. "You have to go stop them Kurenai, they'll kill Naruto."
"I can't just leave you here! You'll die!"
"I'll be fine Kurenai… You have to save him… You just have to…" After saying those words… I passed out.
Flashback:
(A.N. Kakashi is fourteen years old here in this flashback)
"Kakashi… in case I die… I want you to promise me something…"
"Sensei, you're not going to die… Rin is here to heal you…"
"I've already accepted the fact that I will die after sealing the Kyuubi no Yoko inside my son."
"Promise me that you'll protect him… and tell him that I believe that he will become a great shinobi one day. Tell him that I have my own purpose for sealing that demon inside him…"
"Sensei Please… don't!"
"I know I won't be there to see him when he grows up… I won't be there for him when he needs me… That's why I want you to take care of him…"
"Sensei don't say that! Sensei! Sensei!"
-o-
"Sensei! Sensei! Wake up sensei!"
"Kakashi! Kakashi!"
I opened my eyes slowly and realized that I was brought to the hospital
'I'm… Alive…'
I saw Kurenai some other more ninja's in my room. When she saw me opened my eyes she quickly motioned towards me and gave me a tight embrace, forgetting that there are a lot of people in the room.
"Kakashi, you baka! Getting yourself wounded like that?! H-how could you!" She shouted. Her voice was trembling… she was crying. This was really unusual to me. I've known her all my life but I've never seen her that worried. She was mad and sad at the same time… Kind of weird but… extraordinary…
"No need to cry, Kurenai… I'm alive…" I said as I pulled away from her embrace.
"You don't understand! I thought you would die! And… and…
"Shh… don't cry Kurenai. I'm fine…" I assured her. After comforting her, I start to remember about Naruto… I started to panic but tried my best to stay calm and cool… "Uh… Where's Naruto?"
"I'm here, sensei…" I felt calm when I heard Naruto's voice.
"How did you…"
"Granny-Tsunade, saved me…"
"Oh… I'm glad your alright…"
"Thanks, Sensei… for saving my life…"
"No need to thank me… it's my job and I happened to owe your father a lot…"
"I believe you guys have to let Kakashi rest." A certain girl said as she entered the room. "You can come back tomorrow…"
The girl looked really familiar. I stared at her and soon realized that she was…
