Loveless Paradox: Hi! It's been so long since I've written a story. I've been fishing around for this fanfiction I thought happened. But no one can find it. So I'm going to make my version of it.
Summary: They go back to when Kakashi was a teen (16) , and his mate Naru is there.
"Who is she? That's the Hatake mating mark on her neck!"
Prologue - In the past
They did it. But at what cost? All that remained was Hatake Kakashi and Uzumaki-Hatake Naru, his mate. Everything was barren and lifeless, what once was prosperous and flourishing.
Kakashi frowned. His Naru sat on the ground with her head tilted back and her eyes closed. He knew she was fighting tears that threatened to fall from her beautiful blue eyes. One glance into her eyes told of a lifetime of struggle and resilience.
He focused on her sun-kissed skin next, and noted the seals and scars that littered her body. She was still remarkably beautiful to him. Her sunlit locks were pulled into a high ponytail, like Ino's had been.
Stepping towards his wife, Kakashi couldn't help but notice that she was shaking. He wrapped his arms around her as he sat behind her for support. She clung to his jonin vest and shuddered. Not far from them lay the bodies of their comrades.
Naru was so lucky to have her husband survive with her - though along the way she lost their little miracle. With the Kyubi's toxic chakra, they had thought she wouldn't be able to carry their baby. But that hadn't mattered to Madara.
'Kit.'
'What is it Kurama?'
'There is nothing left for you both here.'
'Yes I know, what of it?'
'This isn't the end.'
'What are you going on about Kurama?'
'You can go back. Not just back to the beginning - back to before.'
'What?' Naru's breath hitched at the thought. She felt Kakashi frame her face and since his mask was long gone, he could easily brush a kiss along her lips. They both were dirty, but that didn't matter to them.
"What is Kurama talking to you about?" Kakashi was of course used to his wife spacing out when talking to the Kyubi. Kurama had finally allowed her mate to say his name just recently. The prickly overgrown rabbit.
"You simple-minded measly dirt bag. If you had the chance, would you go back?"
Kakashi jerked a little in surprise. He felt a little swirl of hope flutter in his stomach. If anything was possible it was his mate or her partner. Kyubi in Naru's body looked up at him with a smirk. Taunting Kakashi to say something in response. There were a million questions running around Kakashi's brain. How far back? Would they be together? What would they change? Could they have a family?
"Maa, Kurama I didn't know you liked me that much"
"Oh shut up."
"Which is it? Talk or don't talk?"
"Answer the question flee-bag, Kit's getting anxious."
With a mild chuckle, Kakashi nuzzled his mates cheek before coming to the conclusion he desired.
"Wherever Naru is, I will be."
"How disgusting."
The next thing Kakashi felt was his chakra being pulled. And then everything was dark.
Loveless Paradox: I know it's short, but I needed to spit all my thoughts out. Give me feedback on what you think should happen next!
