Our Time (Book 3) [Naruto Fairy Tail Crossover Fanfic]

Chapter 84

*First person pov*

"Did you understand, Cassie, Gaara!?" Kurama shouts as he was pulled in to the gedo statue with the rest of the bijuu. I think Gaara should handle it alone, bringing Naruto to Minato to get the other half of Kuama into Naruto and reviving him. It's a one man job, and I trust Gaara. Besides, after Gaara leaves with Naruto, and shortly after Sasuke will fight Madara and die. It's best if you stay behind and take Sasuke to Kabuto. But I want to stay with Naruto... I am his body guard. Why can't Gaara take Sasuke to Kabuto? Many reasons. I'm sure Gaara doesn't trust Sasuke, and will refuse to help him, same with Kabuto. He has the best transportation, to take Naruto back to Sakura. Plus, that dream of yours, becoming his bodyguard when he's Hokage has been long dead since you decided to abandon it and die off in this war.... If you ask me, it's very self centered. I don't agree with this decision, just live a while longer please? There are people you have to live for. ... And people might die because I'm alive. This is my decision... No one can change my mind now. Also, you forgot a reason. Huh? You forgot a reason why I should take Sasuke to Kabuto. What? What reason? ...You want me to save him because of your ship. ....Maybe. *Sigh* I really want to be there with Naruto.... I'll catch him when he gets revived. Kurama was dragged into the gedo statue, and Naruto was left behind. "NARUTO!!" Gaara and Keiko yelled at the same time as I ran to him. I jumped and caught him, but he was heavier than I thought but I managed. I brought him to the ground, holding him to me. He had a lifeless look on his face, making my heart drop and shatter. Although I know he's going to live, but just seeing him just.... dead..... It hurts. I feel like my duty wasn't fufilled. I feel like that hole in my heart widening. I-I mean, by hole I mean the hole of loss, like when Asuma died and Grandpa. I'm not depressed, don't worry. I brushed his bangs out of the way as I held him, looking down at him. Tobirama, the Second Hokage, appears and started fighting with Madara. "Cassie, we need to bring Naruto to the Fourth Hokage like the kyuubi said. Let's go." Gaara said, arriving on a sand platform while Keiko was flying. I picked Naruto up with my strength and set him on the platform gently. I held Naruto's hand, giving him a reassuring squeeze... even though he can't feel it. ....I'll be there with you, Naruto. "Gaara, I leave Naruto to you. I have something important to do, just as important as saving Naruto's life." I said, looking up at Gaara. "What are you talking about Cassie!? I-" Keiko yelled, but cut herself off when she saw I was in a bad mood. "Someone just as important as Naruto is going to die... and I need to be there to save them. I saw it with my eye jutsu." I lied, because I will never ever use these demonic eyes again. "But Gaara please..." I gave Naruto a tight squeeze. "Keep him safe... and definitely bring him back." I said, and Gaara nodded hesitantly. ".... Alright." Gaara said, and I let Naruto go, and Gaara's sand platform starts levitating higher. "I'll be there soon, Naruto, Gaara. Wait for me, I promise." I said, then looked at Keiko. "You should go too. With your whip, you can help guard Naruto. Although you're not the strongest... I trust you Keiko. Also, use CPR. I taught you it before, and it may not work with Naruto's case, just keep his heart pumping." I pleaded, and Keiko nodded. "...Okay. Just be safe out there, okay Cassie?" Keiko said, she looked like she was going to cry. After all, Naruto just died. Keiko then turned to Gaara. "Go on without me, I'll catch up. I just want to say a few words to Cassie." Keiko said to Gaara, and Gaara nodded. He started flying away in a fast speed, with Naruto. ...I'm counting on you, Gaara. I noticed Keiko didn't have her blue fur anymore because of Okamia's chakra, such a shame. I wanted to take a picture of her. "Cassie... What happened to Naruto, I don't want that to happen to you.... not again. I love you too much... but if it does, I just want to let you know..." Keiko was crying at this point. "Even if you raised me from a child, tried to nurse me as a mother, I never saw you as one. You were more like a sister or best friend to me... even if we had our differences. But, that's what makes us... us. What makes our bond. If you died... I don't know what I would do. So please... please live. Live for me. You gave me way too many heart attacks in this war." Keiko said, giving me a hug. And again, my heart broke in two all over again. ...Oh god I can't leave Keiko. What about me? I feel just the same way! How come you don't feel like that with me, only with Keiko!? I'll.... I'll miss you just as much! All this damn discussion with death and shit... Like you can't see anything... Cassie I love you!! Live!! .... I just can't. I JUST FUCKING CAN'T!!! DON'T MAKE THIS ANY HARDER, OKAMIA!! "Okay. I promise." I lied, hugging Keiko back. "I'm going to catch up with Gaara." Keiko said, sniffling as she spread her wings and flew away. I watched her go, her little body getting smaller and smaller. I fell on my hand and knees in the rubble, tears pouring down my face. ...Why does it have to be me?! Why do I have to sacrifice myself for this corrupted world?! Even though I said it doesn't matter to me if I live or die, I want to live! I want to live until this war is over! I want to live until I'm 21, have drinks with friends!! I maybe want to live until I have a boyfriend and get married, even though I don't believe in love! I maybe want to have 1 or 2 brats, even though I have tokophobia!! I want to live until I'm 60, sitting on some damn porch with friends having another drink, musing over memories!! I want to die of old age!! Why does it have to be me!? ....Cassie... you can still do all of those things. You could just forget doing this sacrifice thing! I can't.... because... I... "I.... Love my friends.... way too fucking much!!!" I cried, throwing my head up in anger and sadness. All the memories of the happy times, sad times, angry times, funny times, all times flow through my head. All them so precious, making me cry even harder. ...Cassie. ...What? Whatever is going on in your life I don't know about... is it really that serious? ...Yes. Then I won't pry anymore. I just.... want you to live longer. But if you're dead set on doing this, protecting this whole world from whatever threat there is... go for it. And don't make me regret my decision of letting you do whatever the fuck you want. ...Yes!! Now, let's get that fucking duckbutt. I wiped away my tears, standing up now. It seemed like I spent the right amount of time crying, and it seems that Sasuke had just got stabbed through the heart, holding on just by a little. Madara had just left, so this is my chance. Let's go! I started running towards Sasuke, who was lying face down on the ground. His face was smashed up against some rubble, and he wasn't looking too good... as blood was pouring out of his wound and mouth. "...Moron." I said, and Sasuke had opened his eyes to look at me. He was barely hanging on. "Ca.....ss....ie?" Sasuke said as I crouched down beside him. I whistled at the amount of blood puddled beneath him. "Wow, I'm surprised you haven't died yet. Well, don't die on me yet. I'm going to haul your ass out of here to.... Karin was it? That medical nin?" I told him, examining him to see which way I should pick him that doesn't cost a lot of blood. "I...." Sasuke said, then coughing blood up. I scowled at him. "Stop talking so much, you idiot." I bellowed, turning him over gently as I can onto his back. I winced at the wound, it looked better from the back. On the front side it was soaked with blood, where his wound was. The wound... was rather bad. I mean, how do you describe a wound? I guess it looks like a stab wound. But it's rather worrying, I don't know how long he's going to stay conscious then die. "Holy Jashin, I hope this isn't your favorite shirt because it's forever ruined." I commented, masking my worry. Sure, I say that I don't care for him as much as Naruto, but he his my friend and teammate... even if I hate him. No matter what, if he dies on me too, I'm going to be just as sad as when Naruto just literally died before me. Well, he wasn't nearly dead, but still. His heartbeat was so weak.... and he felt so cold. I really did exaggerate earlier, he wasn't dead. But back to the main point, I will still be sad if Sasuke died. I just don't want to show it... since I've been so mean to him. What a tsundere I am. ....Um.... I don't want to interrupt, but in the time you were wasting time figuring out your feelings for Sasuke, he died.... kinda. What!? Well, Okamia was right. There was no chakra coming off of Sasuke. "Dammit..." I said, as I picked him up, setting him on my shoulders like a piggy back ride. As I was walking, I noticed a body on the ground. Tobirama, the second Hokage. He was there the whole time. I sweat dropped as we had a staring contest. Shiiiiiiit I forgot he was there the whole time. What do I say? Sorry for ignoring him? It's too late to say that now, we've been staring at each other for too long! Maybe I could say I could try and help him? No, of course you can't Cassie, am I stupid!? I got no idea how! ".....Uh..... Do you want a cookie?" I said randomly, trying to break this awkward staring contest. ".... I get it. Though having a cookie might be nice, but you're a fucking idiot." Tobirama said, and gloom lines appeared on my head. "Sorry... I didn't notice you and we had that staring contest..... I had to say something." I said, as I tried walking away. "...Understandable." And, that was the end of our conversation. Whatever just happened... that was the most awkward thing ever. I have never experienced something so awkward in my life. ....Well.... that happened, but Kabuto should be a mile away. Ugh, I have to carry him that far? Well... to say his life, do what you gotta do. I readjusted Sasuke on me, feeling his blood bleeding into my destroyed shirt. Because remember, my shirt is pretty much acting like a jacket to cover my bandages what is acting like a revealing shirt. I huffed, then glancing out of the corner of my eye to Sasuke's head, resting on my shoulder. ....Hmph. I reached into my pouch while balancing Sasuke's heavy ass on my back, pulling out my handkerchief. Again balancing him, I reached up and wiped the blood off of his face clean. I tossed the handkerchief, since it was dirty and no longer usable. Sasuke... looked peaceful. He must have died peaceful, because I was with him. How stupid... him loving me so dearly. He'll certainly be devastated with Shikamaru when I die. "Don't worry, Sasuke... you're going to live a little while longer. Just let me get you to Kabuto." I whispered, as I started running. For this whole time, I was just walking... What am I, an idiot? Sasuke's literally dead on my back, and I'm just taking a leisurely walk?? Yup, I am a idiot. Well, not long after I started running, I found Kabuto. "Well that didn't take too long..." I said, finding Kabuto. "I was waiting for you." Kabuto said, crossing his arms. I rolled my eyes at the know it all in front of me. "Sure, right. I need you to revive Sasuke because you're the only one here can do it." I said, setting Sasuke down on the ground. "So bossy. I was going to do it anyway, kid." Kabuto said, kneeling next to Sasuke as he unzipped his shirt. His stomach started extending to Sasuke like a worm, I don't know just take a look.

"Dear god, I don't want to see that." I said, almost puking in my mouth. "Do you feel uncomfortable?" Kabuto said, wiggling his snake like tongue. "YES!!" I yelled, then turning away. "You better revive him... I'm going to go help the others." I said. "Suit yourself. I have no concern in your actions." Kabuto said, and his worm like stomach thing started twitching. I shivered, then turning in the direction where Naruto should be. "I'm off."
