Time That Passes By

Chapter 32 - Feeling of Losing yet another Person

Third Person's POV

'Obito...it seems... this is as far as I'll be able to be your eyes... I couldn't protect Rin, I broke the promise I made. Forgive me... I hope, Mai and Rin would forgive me for leaving them... Sensei, Obito, Rin... I'm coming...'

That was what Kakashi thought. He knew he died...

He's in a pitch black place...

As he walk ahead in a pitch dark place, he saw a light, with someone sitting by it.

"So this is where you've been" Kakashi said.

"Is that you, Kakashi?" That person said.

Kakashi approached him and sat beside him by the fire.

"Kakashi...tell me about your story" said person said.

"Sure... It'll take a long time... but I want to tell you everything" Kakashi said.

He smiled as he turn to look at the person.

"So dad..."

"Yeah..."

Somewhere else....

Mai continue sobbing... but she had to stop... she had to...

She tried to stand up, but she collapse back down.

"Sensei!"

Chouji caught her before she hit down the ground.

"Mai, Better for you to stay still for now..." Chouza said.

She shook her head, trying to wipe off the tears.

"I-I can't... I have to stop Naruto... I have to" Mai said.

"Mai... stay by Kakashi side..." Chouza said.

Her sob burst out into continuous tears.

The feeling she bear right now, it's so heavy... she lost someone who has been supporting her ever since she woke up years ago. The one who provide her with a family...

She lose yet another person in her life.

"Kakashi...I'm hopeless... without you" She covered her face with her hands, crying.

As the Fourth Hokage helped stop the Kyuubi from rampaging, Naruto finally defeated the last pein. But now he had to find the Real Pein. The real person.

To deliver the answer...

What is real peace?

Kakashi's POV

"I see you've had your share of trouble too..." Dad said.

"Yeah..." I said.

"But I'd never thought we would die at such a young age" Dad said.

I look down to the fire.

"Though... not as young as your mother..." Dad said.

"Regardless of what happened... You did your best" I said.

I felt dad's eyes on me.

"I understand now... You broke the rules for all of our sakes... I'm proud of you now" I said.

I look at him to see him smiling at me.

"I see... Thank you so much... Kakashi" He said.

I gave him a closed eyes smile as well.

A light suddenly appear over me.

"What the-- What's Happening?!" I said, shocked.

"Looks like it's not your time yet... You still have things to do in earth" Dad said.
