You Were Never Mine
By: Reyn



I’m supposed to be getting married today.

I’m not at all comfortable in such traditional clothing and have chosen to wear my issued jounin outfit underneath, something I’m sure Kakashi finds amusing as he enters my room without knocking while I’m in the middle of dressing.

I ignore him at first, and continue to do so a little longer after he utters the most obvious phrase in the world.

“Naruto’s not here.”

“Of course he isn’t. I didn’t invite him.”

Kakashi has long since been aware of the rift between Naruto and I, so I’m a little surprised when I look up and see the expression of sadness and anger etched in his face. As he begins to talk, I know it’s of words I don’t want to hear, so I turn around to finish getting dressed. However, as his voice continues to wash over me, my hands slowly still and an unfamiliar emotion begins to stir within me.

He speaks of new styles of war, where countries will only send out a single man; their strongest fighter upon which the outcome will lie solely on his shoulders. Of how corrupt country leaders merely see this as a game for power and enter their playing pieces if only to show their might in a world of shaky trust. He tells of how entire lands are scarred in these battles between two men and how more often than not the victor dies shortly after sending out news of the outcome, leaving this to be a fight for no survivors.

Kakashi then goes on to describe what he knows of the mission Naruto was sent on and suddenly I am able to identify these heavy emotions.

Dread. Panic. Fear.

I probably confused a lot of people as I raced out of Konoha to the coordinates Kakashi had supplied me with. But I don’t give a damn about them.

My thoughts are only focused on getting to you before it’s too late.
