Shinobi love- Kakashi x OC

Flashback part 23

I awoke yet again, to the familiar sight of a white-washed room. However, this time, it was rather dim. The only light source now came from the white-light lamp on the ceiling.

It was probably night time.

Then the nightmare hit again.

I was thrown into a frenzied rush of Obito's haunting image.

The nauseating feeling overwhelmed me in an instant and I arched to the side, my stomach wrenching itself in knots and my hands clinging on to the hospital bed for dear life.

It was all... my fault.

The tears had yet again began to make their way down my face.

The tears had started to burn, or perhaps it was simply a trick my own mind had played.

More tears came running down as the sizzling pain got worse.

The first drop had finally made its way to the white bedsheets as the tiniest shizzle sound caught my attention.

I glanced down to the bed and my mouth hang agape, as I watched the part of the bedsheets that had been stained by my teardrop, bubble for a split moment before dying down, with a tiny puff of smoke steaming from the patch.

I must have been hallucinating.

What was this ??

At this moment, the door slid open and I looked forth to see the familiar white haired ninja.

His eyes darted from the beeping monitor beside me to my doubled-over figure.
Thinking I was going to do something outrageous again, he rushed forth and encased my being with his tight embrace.

All thoughts that were previously causing chaos in my mind had been wiped out in an instant.

And at that very moment, my mind went blank.

And my mind was empty.

It was void of the horrible and haunting thoughts, hallucinations and emotions.

And for the first time, I thought of nothing.

Nothing about the deaths I had witnessed,
Or the bloodied image of Obito, or even the memories I had forged with everyone I had met in the past years of my living.

And I liked it.

It was the first time in forever, that I felt at peace.

----

And then, all hell broke lose when reality had slapped the emptiness out of my mind again.
I shoved Kakashi back roughly, glaring holes at him.

"What do you think you're doing?!"

I spat, suddenly conscious of the chaos he had just add fuel to as an implication of his previous action.

His face had went soft for a couple of moments-- so fleeting that I wouldn't have been able to catch them if not for my newly developed second stage eye prowess.
