The Love For One (Kankuro X Reader)

Goodbye

I awoke the next day wondering when Kankuro was leaving. A part of me didn't want him to leave and for him to stay and another part of me jsut wanted to go as well. I jumped in the shower and my mind wondered to yesterday and how everyone is still recovering. I shouldn't leave the village when they need me the most. I made up my mind to stay at the leaf village and visit Kankuro when I can or asked to be moved to his village when I can. As I got dressed I was making the plan for today after I say goodbye. I will visit everyone in the hospital and make sure that they are doing better then yesterday and then go visit Kiba to make sure he is getting his rest. I made it to the gate as I waited for Kankuro to get here. Gaara was here and waiting with Temari, I saw Shikamaru walking up to the gate as well as Rock Lee. "Good morning (Y/n)." Lee said as he saw me I just nodded my head and went back to waiting for Kankuro. As Gaara and Lee said their goodbyes I started to feel sad because I'll be saying goodbye to Kankuro. "Don't look so sad, you'll see him again." Shikamaru said as he stood next to me and Temari. "I believe you, I just don't want to lose him." I said as I walked away from them not wanting to talk to them. I leaned on the wall watching everyone, knowing I'll be doing the same. "Why do you look so sad?" Kankuro said as he walked up from beside me. "I don't want to be apart from you." I said ass I hugged him. I finally figured out what love is and it might not happen. I just want to be with him and not leave his side he makes me happy and feel things I haven't felt in years, its not something I don't want to lose again. I felt him squeeze me tighter and say  "I'm going to miss you as well, and I will come and see you. I will write to you as well every week just to let you know what is going on." I smiled and said "You better." We hugged till Temari said "It is time to go." I let go and he said his goodbye as he turned and walked out the village gates. I watched him as his figure started to fade away but right before it did I yelled "Have a safe trip!" In the distance where (Y/N) couldn't see or hear Kankuro had a small smile growing on his face as he said "I will."

"(Y/N), you know you can't stand here all day." Shikamaru said as he patted my shoulder. I was still looking out the gate hoping he would turn around. "I guess your right. I'll be heading back then." I said as I turned around and walked towards Ino's family flower shop to pick up flowers for everyone in the hospital. I walked in the shop to hear Ino and her mom talking in the back, I smiled and just started to look around for flowers. "Mom, I'm going out." Ino yelled as she walked to the main shopping floor. Once she noticed me she jumped "Oh, you scared me.". "Didn't mean to just picking up flowers." I said as I grabbed some daisies. "I'm heading there, Lets go together." Ino said as she grabbed my flowers out of my hand to ring them up. After we left the shop non-stop questions kept coming from Ino asking what happened during the mission and if everyone was going to be okay. "Wait, didn't the siblings from the sand come and help?" Ino asked after I answered the first couple questions she asked. "Yes, they did." I said as I looked down towards the ground only wanting him back. "Did you talk with him? Are you two together now? Are you really the first girl to have a boyfriend out of us? You are so lucky." Ino said as she jump around all happy for me. "I would say we are together but that is going to be tough for us since we are both still young and that he is in a different village." I sigh out as I look at the clouds in the sky. "It will be hard but if you two really love each other you will diffidently make it till you are older." Ino said as we arrived at the hospital doors. "I'm going to go see Choji, I'll see you later." Ino said as she ran off toward Choji's room. I checked in at the nurses station saying whom I'm going to visit as I asked her to place the flowers in 3 vases. After she had one vase set on the counter I walk towards Choji's room. "You are very lucky. You know and all you can think about is food!" Ino voice could be heard from the other side of the door. A small smile grew on my lips as I knocked on the door and slid it open. 

"Ah (Y/N)." Choji said as he stuffed his face with more food. "I brought you flowers. I didn't know which ones you liked so I got you daisies." I said as I set the vase down on the table next to the window. "Thank you. They are nice." Choji said as he squinted at the small flowers I place on the table. A small blue butterfly flew outside the window and I open the window and let the butterfly to land on my finger. "Butterfly wings carry a lot of weight but they will never break," I smiled and turn towards Choji "Your wings will never bend, they will lead you through life." Choji stopped eating and just looked at me as Ino looked confused. "I should get going I still have someone to visit." I said as I bowed and walked out of the room. Once I closed the door I lean against the wall and slid to the ground. Shikamaru was walking down the hall when he saw me sitting outside the room. "Such a drag. Come on lets go in." Shikamaru said. I shock my head "I was just in there." Shikamaru nodded and went straight into the room. I stood up and walked back to the nurses desk, I grab the second vase and went to find Naruto's room. I heard him talking to someone and I knock on the door and walked in. "How are you feeling?" I asked as I held the vase in my hand. "(Y/N)! Are you okay?" Naruto asked not even answering my question. "Your the one in the hospital bed not me." I giggled out as I sat the flowers down next to the window. "You know you can come in the room." I say as sat down. I man with white hair and red markings on his face jump in the room "So what people say about you are true. Your a very skilled Shinobi, and a very beautiful one as well." He said "And your old." I said as I looked at him. Naruto started laughing one I said that and the man just looked like his soul left his body. "Pevey-sage she got you. Man (Y/N) you are too good.". I looked at Naruto as he seemed happy but deep down I know he was sad. The room fell silent. "You are going to leave to? Aren't you?" I ask as I saw the two others in the room tense up. The old on looked over at me surprised that I knew but Naruto looked at me and smiled. I knew he would leave to get stronger as well but not till he tried his hardest to get Sasuke back. "(Y/N), I am going to leave but not till I try." Naruto said. "Well get better soon and don't go away for to long. The village will miss you." I said as I stood up. "I'll come back as soon as I can." Naruto said as I walked out of the room.  Everything is going to change now was all that ran through my head as I walked down the hallway. 

I stood outside the next door not wanting to open it. The last time I saw him, he was dying in my arms.I knock softly on the door and waited for a response but knowing I wasn't going to get one. I slid the door open to see Neji hooked up to all kinds of machines. I was hoping he would be awake but not after his injures. I sat down the sunflowers by the window and then sat down in the chair near his bed. "Hey." I said and silence followed. "I want you to know I tried. I tired to get you back as fast as I can but I am still so weak. I might leave as well to get stronger, but who will train me? Plus I'm not safe if I leave the village anyways." I said as if he would talk to me. I stood up and said "I guess I'll get going. get better." I walk out of the hospital and walked around the village fro a little bit till I came up on Kakashi's spot he showed me. I sat down and throw some rocks into the lake below. I was thinking of everything and I wasn't sure on what to do next. Right at the moment I can't do anything till I fully heal.  I can't leave the village, I'll be attacked. I have a target on my back. I have to stay here due to the lack of shinobi. I sigh and leaned against the tree. "What you sighing about?" Kaskashi ask and I jumped. I didn't realize he was here. "I don't know what to do." Was all I said

Kakashi stood there and looked out at the lake as I continued to throw rocks into the lake. "You care about that sand boy?" Kakashi asked as the last rock hit the water. "I love him. I don't know things will turn out in the next couple years and I can't even leave the village without getting attacked now. It will be hard to see him. Plus I am currently injured and the village needs me here to help with repairs and protection so I can't really leave. "It might seem impossible at the moment but it will work out. You guys seemed to really care for each other the last time I saw you together." Kakashi said. I looked up at him and my mind thought of something else. "If Sasuke is gone and Naruto is going to go train with Pervy- sage what does that mean for you?" I asked bluntly. He looked down at me in shock that I knew about Naruto. "I kinda figured he would go train to be stronger to save Sasuke." I reassured him. "I'll be on my own and might be going back to Anbu for a little." he said and sat down next to me. I nodded and slience fell among us. I'm weak and I can't protect the people I have come to care for how will I help the village if I stay weak. "Stop thinking your weak cause you are not. You have to strength yourself again. You have been injured and you need time to heal and once your healed you will be stronger then you were before." Kakashi said as he stood up. "Then once you become stronger you will be able to travel by yourself and go see who you care for the most. Now lets head home so you can get better it might take a couple months but you will be brand new once you are fully healed. I looked up at Kakashi and smiled. "And when I do it will be time for me to say goodbye." Kakashi looked at me knowing what it meant and we started to walk back to the village.
