Sweet Sacrifice- Part 3

While Naruto was achieving the killer of his sensei, Sakura was on her knees next to Kakashi.
-Sensei...
He pushed her abruptly on the side. she heard a low noise, like...
A kunai piercing something.
-Sensei! Screamed Sakura, seeing his sensei falling for the second time.
The Oto's ninja was about to kill him...
-No! She said.
Her kunai cut the air.
A mortal arrow.
The last enemy ninja died. The fight was over.
Kakashi opened his eyes and smiled painfully, seeing Sakura by his side.
-That was a sweet sacrifice for you... he whispered softly.
His blood, on the ground, was reflecting the face of Sakura, like a morbid mirror.
-Sensei...
Naruto, strangely calm, was next to Sakura.
-He... He is dying, Naruto, said Sakura.
Her voice was almost inaudible. She was blinded by tears, but tried to not let them escape her jade eyes.
-Naruto... murmured Kakashi, closing his eyes again. Can you leave me alone with Sakura for a moment?
-Yes... he answered with sobs in voice.
-Thanks, groaned Kakashi.
Naruto opened the door and waited outside.
-Sakura... murmured Kakashi.
-Yes, sensei?
-I'll tell you the reality.
-Reality?
-Yes... the truth is... is that I...
-Say no word, sensei, murmured Sakura tenderly. Me too.
She took him in her arms, caressing his silver hair.
-Please... don't leave me alone with these two guys, said the guenin with a sad smile.
-I'm so sorry, Sakura, answered Kakashi.
He wasn't bleeding anymore, but she saw that he was suffering a lot. The jounin opened his eyes before talking again.
-Will you refuse a dying wish? He asked.
He knew her response, but asked anyway.
-Never, she answered. And I know what is yours.
She took away his mask.
-This will be your secret, murmured Kakashi. Keep it...
-In my heart, she answered.
Then, her lips touched his.
He closed his eyes.
She felt a heat in all her body, feet to head.
This moment was a sacred one; the moment where two hearts broke the barrier that was holding them back; two hearts joined forever, even in death.
When it was finish, she knew she would never be the same.
And she knew that the time of her sensei was short.
Very short.
Too short.
-You'll say to Naruto that he needs to be strong... said Kakashi without opening his eyes. And if he continues, he'll become an Hokage for sure.
His breath almost went out, he added:
-I love you, Sakura... Be strong, and your dreams will become reality.
With a smile, he said:
-That was a sweet sacrifice, really...
A last smile.
A last kiss.
A last tear escaped the sharingan eye of the jounin.

Forever.
the copy ninja was gone forever.
