When He Met Her ( Kakashi x Reader ), Book 2 - Season 3

Chapter 28

~ Back in the cave ~

You slowly open your eyes as water drops on your face from the cave. You feel weak as you try to sit up and grasp everything that was going on. You saw Kabuto, who looked to be in some sort of trance, beside Itachi and Sasuke.

Itachi was glowing, his reanimation body tearing itself away. You remembered him mentioning he had released the Reanimation Jutsu when you were in the fake world. From what you saw, it seemed like Itachi was saying Goodbye to Sasuke. You watched silently as you saw Itachi reach out to grab the back of Sasuke's head.

"You don't ever have to forgive me." Itachi spoke softly as he watched Sasuke with a smile and put his forehead against his own.

"And no matter what you do from here on out... I will love you always." Itachi lingered for a second as he continued to smile at his brother before his soul left the reanimation body. Sasuke's eyes never left Itachi's, looking up as his older brother's soul disappeared. You smiled as you felt Itachi finally was able to reconcile with Sasuke and pass on in peace.

"I.." Sasuke stood there lost in thought. "What am I..?"

"You're his younger brother..." you spoke as you slowly used your strength to stand up. Sasuke was surprised to see you were up as he made eye contact with you.

Before he could say anything, there was a sudden explosion. Sasuke grabbed you and jumped back. When the smoke cleared, Jugo and Suigetsu were looking down to you both.

"Found you!" Suigetsu yelled as he was grinning at the both of you.

"You guys..?" Sasuke asked, confused to see them. They both jumped down to you and Sasuke.

"What're you doing here?" Suigetsu asked as he looked around the cave.

"Stopping the reanimation."

"Huh? You've always been like that. You never explain things to people. Well, it's been awhile since we saw you so you'd better tell us!" Sasuke pointed in the direction of Kabuto, still in the same position Itachi left him in.

"Kabuto was using the reanimation."
Suigetsu walks over in curiosity, confused on whether whatever was in front of him was Kabuto. He leans forward a bit to get a good look of his face.

"This is Kabuto? He's kind of gross, huh? This thing coming out of his gut looks like a huge-"

"Leave him be." Jugo observes the other body that was unconscious along side you.

"She's alive." You look over and recognize that it was Anko-sensei. You rushed over to see if she was okay.

"Anko-sensei... what on earth are you doing here?" You whispered as you continued to check if she was unharmed.

"What do you want with me at this point? Why'd you go out of your way to look for me?" Sasuke cuts you off as he sits on a rock, waiting to see their response.

"Oh yeah! That's right! You see we found something incredible at one of the hideouts. Now let's see-" Suigetsu spoke excitedly as he was searching for something in his things. You could only watch and observe, you had to assess the current situation and whether or not Sasuke still wanted his revenge.

"Earlier, you said that you and Itachi stopped the reanimation, right? But I don't think it worked on the reanimated Madara" Jugo spoke as he got straight to the point. Sasuke looked surprised and became lost in thought.

"I see. So it hasn't been stopped." Sasuke said with a serious look on his face.

"I'm talking to Sasuke! Don't interrupt me." Suigetsu said angrily, frowning at Jugo in the process.
