Shinobi love- Kakashi x OC

Flashback part 22

I limped past yet another dull tree, putting my weight on my other side of the hip, the aching pain throbbing constantly.

/
The pain that constantly thrashed my heart
/
I found myself making a fist with my right hand, clenching it so tight that I had subconsciously scratched off the thin endodermis off my palms.

Blood was seeping through the shallow wounds from my palms that had gone clammy and pale from my tight grip.

My vision was cloudy and my pace was incredibly slow as I inched forward, hobbling on my damaged body.

/
They were cloudy with tears
waiting to spew
/

I walked...

And

I walked...

Each step I took,

A sharp pain more hindering than the previous shot through the centre of my heart.

I thought about how I was betraying Obito.

Leaving him behind for the pests to manifest.

I was a horrible friend.

But how could I possibly lug his dead body when I couldn't even lug mine?

The enemy nin are definitely still lurking around, their scatter of foreign chakra littered the entire arena of the forest I was currently hobbling in.

How could anyone be so cruel ?

Obito was the nicest person I knew.

The only person who would love without conditions,

Without minding the imperfections and flaws of anyone.

My breaths got deeper. I realised I inhaled more deeply each second as it got more strenuous to do so the next moment.

Soon, I was gasping for air that seemed to be lacking in the oxygen abundant forest.

My fist was now pounding hard against my chest as I tried my best to take in a breath.

I buckled forward as I felt my organs falter with the inadequate oxygen supply.

My knees grew incredibly weak as they gave way and I came crashing onto the leafy, moist ground.

The only thing that stood between the filthy ground and my face was my faltering arms that supported me.

But they were soon to give out too.

At this moment, tears started spewing uncontrollably.

/
Each tear that made its way to the leaf-clattered ground broke its form the moment it contacted, much like Kasumi did

Kasumi silently counted how long she would be able to hold herself before she gave in to the luring sleep.
