Kakashi
He blinked heavily on his knees staving off the unconsciousness looming over him. His vision began to blur. He couldn't breathe, his body barely let him as he began to sway. He could barely make out Ame's face as the numbness grew. He barely felt it as his body fell to the floor. Blackness crept around his vision, closing in. Ame's screams felt muted but he knew she was screaming for him. She stretched out from the floor towards him
He blinked heavily and forced himself to breathe. The pain was indescribable. He watched as the blur of Ame suddenly erupted in a blinding silver light. So much so that he couldn't see anything else. His energy was slipping from his body. Tiredness began forcing his eyes shut.
"What're you going to do?! You think you can kill me? Come on hit me! Better make it count. Hit me!" She screamed and he forced his eyes back open only to see the silhouette of Akari surrounded by the blinding chakra. She was on her feet and he couldn't make out what they were saying until he watched fire being launched at her. She didn't dodge it and despite everything, Kakashi panicked and even tried to move but then- she caught it? The Jutsu halted as she held out her hand. The fire paled in the light of her chakra.
The rolling of thunder cracked the sky above them as the energy surged. The light of day dulled almost to the darkness of night. The skies were charged with lighting. The veil of darkness splitting above them with each voltaic spear. He saw her face in flashes. She looked otherworldly. Predatory but divine. She loved him so gently he forgot how fierce she could be.
She launched his jutsu back at him but the general dived out of the way.
"You shouldn't have dodged that," she sighed and he watched the General stumble backwards. He could even make out the fear in his face. Her shadow erupted in a force he'd never witnessed. It was almost a real entity. It didn't crawl to the victim as it usually did, no it charged. The earth shook from its presence and the General remained paralysed.

Aki was safe. She didn't need his protection. She'd saved herself and maybe even Konoha. He could leave in peace knowing she would live.
