~Kakashi~
I watched as my wife gave her life to give birth to our child. A river of blood pooled beneath the table where she lay, the dripping sound beginning to give me a headache tagging behind the nausea already setting in. But, soon, the room was filled with my daughter's cries, the first sign that she had drawn breath.
"Kakashi..." my wife whispered hoarsely. Her fingers already void of color and warmth as she gripped onto me.
"Yes?" I rushed to answer her, fearing that if I wasn't quick enough she would pass on before I got to hear her beautiful voice again.
"What should we name her?" she asked, tears ran down her porcelain face.
My eyes darted from one thing to the next. There was so much sadness in the room that I could barely think. I tried to think of something, anything that would give my world what she needed to hear. An idea sparked in my mind, something that needed its name cleared of the sadness it had caused in my life. A name that came from such a deep place in my heart it was hard not to think about.
"Chidori." The technique that was used to end my friendships in the most horrid way possible, but what lead me to meet my wife and help this miracle of a child come into our lives.
A smile slowly made its way onto my wifes paling face, her tears leaving tracks down her cheeks as they dried. I brought up my shaking hands and wiped a few away, bringing down my mask to kiss my wife for the last time. Her eyes never closed, gorgeous ashy grays faded into a dullness that didn't seem to match the person on which they were apart of. Before I could stop them, tears streamed down my face. Lifting my head, I gazed upon the new life I had helped create. She laid in a pile of cloth as the seal was finished and the demon was locked away. The demon began to manifest itself through the child, stray appendages forming resembling a tail and cat like ears.
Walking over to her, I collapsed to my knees. I cradled my daughter in my arms, rocking her back and forth, dancing with her like I had once done with her mother. Eventually she slipped into a deep sleep, allowing me to thank the doctors and sealers. As my eyes passed over my wife for the last time, a lump formed in my throat. I should have done more.
Shaking my head once again and blinking away the tears, I smiled at Chidori and cradled her in my arms.
"Everything is going to be okay."
