sensei suki ~

21: return back

Neji: stop playing us around!!!

Sakura: exactly!!

Ryuushi: I'm serious. You're here.

Itachi appeared from behind the tree "you'll come back right? "

Ryuushi: I might die. He's the copy ninja.

He walked out making sakura and neji alerted. He ignored both of them and walked towards ryuushi. She turned around " nani? (what) " He cupped her cheek " suki da. Can you live on that? "

Ryuushi: Itachi... Um. *smiles * I'll try.

Itachi: alright then. Do you have something for me?

" um. " she takes out a scroll " help me take care of my mama and papa. When I die, remember to come collect me ok? " He ruffles with her hair " you're really selfish. "

Ryuushi: arigato.

Itachi flash steps and leaves. She turns around and takes a deep breath "let's do this. Kuchiyose no jutsu. " pakkun and his gang were summoned. " please keep them safe ok. "

Pakkun: no problem.

Pakkun and his pack bites onto a part of sakura and neji dragging them away.
_______________________________

Neji: ok ok. Its far away already.

Pakkun and pack stops.

Neji: that ryuushi. Why join akatsuki.

Sakura: that aside... Can Kakashi sensei... Really kill ryuushi? Its like ryuushi was important to Kakashi sensei.

Neji: is. She wouldn't want to hurt him. He didn't want to either.

Sakura: is there nothing we can do? Pakkun-san.

Neji: say pakkun. Do you know anything?

Pakkun: kids these days are sure nosy.

Neji: just a bit?

Pakkun: sigh... Its not like you guys can do anything.

Neji: maybe we can. If you don't say how would we know.

Pakkun: fine. Don't blame me. Kakashi and ryuushi were lovers.

Sakura: eh?!!!

Neji: soka. That's unusual.

Sakura: it's not normal!!!

Neji: I didn't say it is.

Sakura: now what... Can't we do anything?

Neji: probably nothing.

Pakkun: sigh... Kakashi... Ryuushi...

Kakashi pov:

Nothing has changed since the past. We were on different sides since the very first time we met.

She wanted my recognition. I didn't give it.
She left for danzou. I stayed for the hokage.
She left for akatsuki. I came for akatsuki.

We were never on the same page. Yet I always love her. Though I'm not sure about her. I dig in my pouch for check how many kunais left... I touch to the small pouch I had. It was used to keep those 200 yen coins. I don't want to kill her. But she insists.

Why... Why can't we ever be on the same page?

She charged forward towards me, by accident my hand hooked onto the string of the pouch and took that small pouch out dropping it on the floor. Tsk. The coins came out.

She's coming. Her katana with seals. It will immobilise me if I touch it. Its not like I can dodge either. Her speed is too fast, can't make hand seals.Please dodge ryuu ryuu. " raikiri. "

What...

My hand went through her body... Her chest... She drops her katana and takes my hand out. Blood flows continuesly... She collapses onto the floor... Reaching out for my small little pouch. My tears flowed... I took the pouch and carried her in my arms " why didn't you dodge?!!!! "

" datte... " she held onto the pouch " Kakashi... Still loves ryuu ryuu. " she vomits blood. I cry... " baka!!! Don't you too?!!! Then why?!!! "

Ryuushi: Kakashi doesn't only have guilt for ryuu ryuu right? Dislike me?

" baka!!! I missed you!!! " I hugged her head " don't die!! " I carried her on my back to go find Sakura.

Kakashi: Sakura!!! Can she be saved?

Sakura: what the...

Ryuushi: just kill me.

Kakashi: don't be an idiot!! I won't let you!!

Ryuushi: going back to be despised... Tortured... Alienated. Just kill me.

Kakashi: sakura!!

Sakura: I can save her. Move aside for a while Kakashi sensei. It has only tear away a bit of her heart. She can be saved. Don't die ryuushi.

Ryuushi: you... Think... *coughs* I don't know...

Kakashi: stop. Just live ok. I don't want to see your death when I just met you.

Sakura: Kakashi sensei...

Neji: Kakashi sensei...

Ryuushi: it would have been better if I just stayed at itachi's side. That loneliness... Me dying would have been fine.

Kakashi: don't say such selfish things. Was dying better than seeing me?

" no. Dying was better than facing loneliness. " itachi appeared. Neji and Kakashi go into attack stance.

Ryuushi: Itachi... *stretches hand*

Itachi takes it while they were on guard " Ryuushi. It's either him or me. I'll leave you in loneliness too when I die."

Ryuushi: you won't die that early right?

Itachi: you're really selfish *smiles *

Kakashi: I...

Ryuushi: its ok Kakashi. Ryuushi understands. You're the copy ninja with expectations to fulfill.

Itachi: you say that but you like being in konoha. Don't you? Like me. That warmth... We're the same... Go back ryuushi. I'll have this loneliness for myself.

Ryuushi: Itachi.... *cries* I... Hurt you...

He dries her tears " come collect my body when I die. " She nods " promise." He puts down the scroll and flash step.

Kakashi: itachi...

With that... Ryuushi fainted.

Kakashi: ryuu ryuu.

Sakura: she's fine. Just exhausted.
