~Going Between Dimensions~

Part 22 - I'm Here

Tenzo got ready to walk out before he stopped and looked back at his former captain. "I don't think you are the one who should do this, senpai... At least when it is going the way it is right now" Tenzo had to say it, knowing about the trauma it caused Kakashi the last time he was put in this situation.. "I make sure it is the last thing to happen.. But I made her a promise and I am going to keep it" Kakashi had made up his mind. If there were a chance that he could do something to save you, he had too.. And if he couldn't he knew what to do. He stood still until he knew everyone had left. He carefully lifted the cover and looked out if the window. He almost broke right there, seeing you on your knees covered by black flamelike chakra and black cold eyes.. The pain was clear across your face, and he couldn't stand watching it. No wonder the men looked broken when he arrived.

You closed your eyes, trying to get the focus back to stop the most painful part of it all. The more you lost controll the more painful it would become. Kakashi had made up his mind, he opened the door to the room and walked inside. The negative chakra almost knocked the air out of him as he walked closer to you. No wonder it was struggles when this was what you fought against.. He slowly kneeled down next to you and took your hands in his to help you up. The way your head snapped in his direction almost made him jump this time. "I help you up" He spoke carefully as he started to lift you up on your feet again. You wanted to resist, scream that he should get the hell out of here, but you couldn't. No words wanted to leave you as your body just followed his movements carefully.

It was more important than ever to have it all under controll.. If you lost it with Kakashi inside of here.. You wouldn't even think about what could happen. "You are not giving up on us yet.. I won't let you.. You still have time to do it" Kakashi didn't let go as he made sure to support you to stand up right. You tried to remove your hands from his, but he had more strength than you, and no intentions of letting go. "You should not... Be in here.." You had requested that no one was to enter for a reasion.. Even if you didn't make it, you didn't want to take others with you. Kakashi just shaked his head before pulling you into his arms, which was rather uncommon thing for him to do."You think we just gonna give up on you? Being in seperate rooms don't work.."

He let out a small gasp as the cloak started to cover his body aswell, making his face twist in pain as he thighten his hold on you. "Do you remember... When we were kids...And you thought I made fun of you?" He closed his eyes, hoping this would help. No way he would willingly let you die, not when he could atleast try to prevent it. You noticed the cloak covering him aswell, and the pain in his voice.. Making you try to push him away." kakashi.. Don't.. " He refused to bugde when you tried to push him off. He had always been more stubborn than you, which made it harder in situations he choosed to be reckless in, like now. "Try to remember.. I am gonna stay until you do.." You closed your eyes, wanting to freak out, and tell him how stupid he really is, but that would not help now.. You just tried to follow his words, and remember the past as you had done for the past 3 weeks.

It became quiet between you two. Kakashi standing there holding you up in a thight embrace, while you tried to not let the cloak burn him alive. Of all the silly things that had happened throught the years this had to be the most frustrating of them all. "I used to keep a eye out.... Even after that night.." Kakashi was whispering now. "I have always been there.. Even when I said I was not..." Your fist thighten the hold on his vest as he spoke. You were not mad at it, it was almost comforting hearing this from him. "I'm sorry.."

"don't you try to give up now... You have promises to keep remember? Naruto is not the hokage yet!, Sasuke is not back yet!.." His voice were stern as he whispered into your ear carefully. "You are not ms Hatake yet" The last sentance came out lower than the other words he had spoken, making your eyes open when you realised what he just had said. You could remember when he first brought that up.. Back when you both were just 18 years old.

It had been one of those rare days where you both had a day off, and Naruto was out when Kakashi came over, just a few weeks before you would get the news that Naruto would be moved to a seperate appartment. "sorry I am late, the line at the dango shop was a bit longer with the regualrs today" He placed the bag down on the table, clearly annoyed. "The line or did you run into some of our friends that misses you?" Your brow was raised as you held back a chuckle when you wrapped your arms around him. Kakashi had stayed away from mostly everyone after he became a Anbu.. Even his old friend group, expect from Guy depending on his mood. " both, they don't seem to get the hint" Kakashi muttered. "They are just worried, your cold glare don't make it better you know?" You placed a soft kiss on his masked lips before going to the kitchen to heat up some food.

"they know I am with you, that should be enough to stop the worrying don't you think?" Kakashi followed behind and wrapped his arms around you from behind, while resting his head on your shoulder. "They know, yes.. But you can be different people depending who you are around. They don't know you like I do" This time you couldn't help but letting a soft giggle out knowing far to well how different Kakashi could act depending on who he was around. "Well too bad for them, This side of me is only for future ms Hatake too see" You could feel the cocky smirk on his face as your cheeks darken. "Kakashi.. Wh.." You were shocked, the last person you would imagine speaking like this would be him. "I mean it.. One day, thats a promise" The way his eye closed and the small redness underneath it, made you know he was serious. "You know you might get tired of me before that time?"

Kakashi let go as he tilted his head almost looking offended. "really? Tired?" The way his brow raised almost made you laugh. "Yes, who knows?" You couldn't help but tease as you filled the plates. You loved to tease the man, at least when it made him have such noticeable expressions on his face. "I promise you one thing, Y/N. You will be ms Hatake one day, and we will have some gremlings of our own" He winked at you before smiling again. "You really thought about this, haven't you?" You couldn't lie, it made your heart beat a bit faster. "Offcourse, the last few months... Having you by my side I know I want, the gremlings part.. That is still growing on me"  He chuckled as he helped you setting the table. "First step would be calling them children, Kakashi"

You closed your eyes again, remembering it too clearly. "Still call it gremlings?" You couldn't help but letting out a small chuckle as you rested your head on his shoulder. "That will never change...kids will forever be gremlings in my eyes.." The sound of your chuckle became a bit more clear at his answer. He could feel the cloak loosen a bit as you chuckled, giving him some ideas. "Do you remember how Itachi almost attacked me when I came to follow you to the training ground?" He knew that was a funny moment, and it would make you laugh. "In the woods? Yeah.. He was only 8 but ready to kick your ass.."

Kakashi smiled to himself as he felt it grow weaker. "Yeah.. Just because of my Hound mask" When you started to laugh of the memory the cloak started to let go of both of you. Just a few hours and the whole mood had changed inside the room. Kakashi carefully looked at you, noticing you were back to normal, exept from a small hint of purple in your eyes, before they closed and you went limp in his arms.  Kakashi carried you out of the room and placed you on one of the beds before going to the radio. He looked back at you once more to make sure everything was ok, before he spoke. "Lady Tsunade sama.. Mission is complete." It seemed like memories and happy thoughts were not enough alone.. Had they stepped in sooner with you... It might had been solved way sooner.

"Do you need medic assistance?" Kakashi frowned a bit, wondering what she really thought his message meant. "We both could need a check up, over" He placed it down for the last time, knowing he did not have to say anything else. You were alive and got throught it, and he was ok too. At least he showed up at the right time this time.. If he had been a late or not showed up.. No, he didn't even wanna think about it..
