You Wouldn't Choose Me

33: I Love You Too

Akuyu: no. I'm fine. I just brought them here since most of my people are hurt. I'm seeing if I can take some good ones with me.

Sakura: I see. So ~~ I've heard. You kissed kakashi sensei!

Akuyu: ... It was just one sneaky kiss. Was it that such a big thing?

Sakura: so you don't deny!

Akuyu: well... I guess...

Sakura: what's wrong?

Akuyu: no... It's just... Sighs.

Sakura: tell me.

Akuyu: kakashi is a nice guy. I don't deserve him.

Sakura: why do you say that?

Akuyu; when this war over... I have to go back to sunagakure. You guys have to go back to konoha. Plus... I don't even know if I can survive this war. Sighs... Sometimes... Dying feels like an easier task.

Sakura: akuyu-san... Don't say that. I think everyone relies on you.

Akuyu: so does everyone on you. What if they die because of you? ...I'm sorry. I should get going.

Akuyu: what is it?

Kakashi: danzou isn't here anymore. No one will die because of you.

Akuyu: that's what you say. The decisions I make...

Kakashi: since when you become so not confident?

Akuyu: I don't know... It's been long since I've gotten used to the same people for a long time. This feeling... If someone dies again ... I know it's war ... Just... I can't help but think I caused it. 10 deaths till now. I couldn't prevent them.

Kakashi: that's best numbers I've heard. Some things can't be avoided.

Akuyu: I know... Me dying is like the easiest way for me run away from all of this.

Kakashi: akuyu...

Akuyu: I won't. I know it just makes things works. Sighs. You came all the way here just to talk about this?

Kakashi: well... I... I love you. Akuyu.

Her eyes widens at what he said. She hugged him " I love you too. For now..." And she flash steps.
