Electric - Kakashi Hatake x oc

7

The three made it out of the arena, leaping over logs to help Kakashi and Naruto, helping Lady Chiyo whenever she weakly slipped up and heading full speed to the next fight. The trio leapt down behind Kakashi once they finally reached them.

"Finally caught up to you." Sakura said with a kind smile.

"Sakura!" Naruto exclaimed happily.

"You found us. Nice work." Kakashi said only able to see Chiyo and Sakura from where he was sitting.

"We felt a huge tremor a few minutes ago." Sakura explained.

"I'm glad you're here. So you guys did it?" Naruto asked tiredly.

"Yeah." Sakura answered.

"It looks like you're still having some trouble here though." Chiyo chimed in.

"Unfortunately." Kakashi said.

As Naruto shows Chiyo where Gaara's body was, Electra place a hand on Kakashi's back. He hummed turning around fully to see a beaten and wounded Electra in front of him. The tired eye smile and gashes were enough for him to understand how hard they all fought. She placed a hand on his cheek trying not to cry at how badly she was worried for him.

"You're okay." He breathed out. She nodded as his hand wrapped around the one on his cheek, letting out a relieved sigh.

"She doesn't know how to save herself either." Lady Chiyo chided jokingly. "Wouldn't stop taking the hits for us, but in the end it saved us greatly." She said placing a kind hand on top of Electra's free one.

Kakashi saw the loving gaze they shared, he'd seen how attached Electra had become to this old woman already. The clanks of metal on metal echoing nearby was enough to disturb their moments, alerting everyone that team Guy had found Deidara. They rolled up to the right just as Deidara blew up in an explosion sending Guy's team flying backwards towards them. As a last ditch effort Kakashi unlocked a new side to his sharingan, somehow evading everyone from the blast.

"It worked. Just in time." He mumbled as he winced in pain falling backwards as Electra caught him, softening his fall.

"Sensei! Are you alright?" Naruto asked concerned.

"I don't get it? What did you do?" Sakura asked the panting sensei before her.

"Sent the explosion...off into a different space." He said tiredly.

"You.... sent it... somewhere?" Sakura asked confused.

"I am not sure I understand really, but it seems our enemy has been defeated, Tenten." Lee said. "Wouldn't you agree?"

"What the- what the hell are you asking me for?" Tenten exclaimed. Kakashi chuckled at their antics, the gesture sending vibrations through his back to Electra's chest.

"More importantly. Is everyone okay?" He asked.

Later in a field, Sakura tried to help fix Gaara but to no avail. While Naruto was sobbing and blaming things for this happening lady Chiyo took Electra's hand leading her to his body. Electra sobbed as she knew exactly what was going to happen. Chiyo sat on the side with her back to the group as Electra sat opposite of her, everyone watched confused as Chiyo began her reanimation ninjutsu. As soon as her chakra started failing Electra sucked the electricity from the earth, an overwhelming amount flooding her body as her eyes shown bright white, then gripping the wrists of Chiyo and giving it all to her.

She needed to give until there was just enough for Gaara to wake up. The pain coursing through both women was unimaginable as tears streamed down Electra's face, dripping in beads off her mask and hitting Gaara's body below. She wept for the old woman about to die, she wept for the new life she was aiding in giving Gaara, she wept for Sasori who allowed himself to be punished, and she wept for that damned curse mark. Naruto placed a hand in Electra's shoulder allowing the electricity to flow through him as he placed his other hand on top of Chiyo's, giving her more chakra. Naruto had plenty, there was no reason he couldn't give as they all winced at the shared pain. Sweat and tears dropped onto the boy below, their struggle evident to anyone bearing witness.
