I thought if I'd date Rin I'll stop loving Kurenai. But I was wrong! I made everything worse. I thought I could learn to love Rin, but I still don't. No matter what I'd do, I'll always see her only as a friend… as a sister… Now, everything's all messed up. Not only am I confused but also guilty of lying to my very best friend… I was so stupid… I was so stupid for using Rin to forget about Kurenai… I was so stupid for lying not only to Rin but also to myself. Why is it that I always make the wrong decisions? Why does this have to happen to me? I already lost the people I love… my dad, my best friend, my second father… Isn't it enough? Why is it that of all people… it was Kurenai whom I had to fell in love with? Why can't I forget about her even if I should? My love for her is so wrong… But why does it seem so right? She's in love with Asuma and that ring on her finger proved it so… But why do I keep on falling? Why do I have to fall in love with my friend's girl?
My thoughts kept travelling to my crimson-eyed colleague. I kept on wondering why I always think about her. Why can't I stop thinking about her even though it all hurts? To me, everything about her is perfect… Her eyes … her smile… her beautiful red lips that I've always wanted to kiss…
'Why did it have to be you, Kurenai Yuhi?' I thought to myself as I punched the wall out of frustration. 'Some people say that love is the most wonderful thing in the world… Love can heal everything… even the wounds that have been in your heart for so long… I guess it doesn't work that way for everyone… It doesn't work for me that way… Love gave nothing to me but hurt and sadness…"
My heart continued throbbing painfully inside my chest as I kept on remembering about how happy she was when she told that she and Asuma are already engaged. The pain was so unbearable. It felt like it wouldn't go away. It felt as if it were to stay. Again, loneliness has found me. I guess… loneliness does know me by name…
I only snapped out of my reverie once I heard the loud knock on my door.
'It's 7:00 am… who would come here at this time? It must be Rin…'
"I'm sorry but right now is not the good time for-"I was quickly cut off as I saw my crying colleague right in front of me…
"I'm really sorry to bother you but…I just… I just…." She tried to finish her sentence but she kept on crying.
"Kurenai… What happened? Are you hurt? Why are you- I was cut off when she threw her arms around me and buried her face on my chest.
"Kurenai, what's wrong?" I asked, feeling so concerned about her. It took quite long for her to answer. She was crying so hard. I decided to take her inside and let her calm down for awhile.
"I… I received a letter from Shikamaru, t-telling me that the Akatsuki attacked them… and Asuma's i-injured…" She said between her sobs as she tightened her embrace.
"He'll be okay… I'm sure he will be..." I tried to calm her down but it wasn't working. She continued to cry, soaking my shirt with her tears.
"H-he could die there… I- I need him…" She sobbed.
I continued comforting her and only let go when I heard a knock on the door. I opened it and saw Shizune in front of me.
"Kakashi-san, Tsunade-sama told me to give this to you…" Shizune informed as she handed a scroll to me. I quickly opened it and read what's in it…
Kakashi…
I'm sending you and your team as back up for Team Ten. They were attacked by the Akatsuki during the mission and their team leader, Asuma was injured. Your team is the perfect team to be sent to this mission knowing that you were able to fight some members of the organization, Akatsuki during your missions. You and your members will be travelling tomorrow. The destination of your mission will be in Kumogakure, the place where Team Ten was attacked. I wish you success and safety on the Mission. Good Luck
Sincerely yours,
Tsunade Senju (godaime)
"Thank you, Shizune. I'll inform my team as soon as possible." I told her as I placed the letter in my pocket.
"Thank you for your time, Kakashi-san. I'll go back to her office and tell her that you've received the letter." She said politely then strode off to tell Tsunade-sama.
"If it makes you feel better, Kurenai… I was sent as back up for Asuma's team." I said with a smile on my face as she lightened up a little when she heard about the news.
"Really? You were?" She asked with a shocked but excited expression on her beautiful face.
"I'll bring him back, I promise…" I swore to her. Then she gave me another warm hug, making my heart pound against my chest.
"Thank you, Kakashi. I knew I could always count on you…"
"You'll always will… I'll always be here for you, Kurenai… Always…"
"Thank you, Kakashi… Thank you so much…"
