Slowly I awoke, gently moving my body into submission as pain racked through me. I opened my eyes staring at the roof of a medical tent, I slowly lifted my arm and stared at my bandaged hand, the memories of fighting Levi pouring into my brain. I blinked slowly, images of Levi's lifeless and bloody body flashed in my eyes. Tears slid down from the corners of my eyes and I clenched my hand into a fist.

"You stupid, stupid boy." I wishpered bringing my closed fist to my chest laying it over my heart. Killing him was the last thing I wanted to do, killing my own child...how could any mother ever think about...

I quickly shot up in my cot, "Gunta!" I cried out in pain as hot searing pain ran up and down my back. I looked down taking in my appearance, I was in my underwear, my upper half naked, but covered in bandages, along with my arms. I ripped the bandages off of my arms revealing cuts and bruises from my fight with Levi.

I stood up and wobbly legs, using the bedside table to steady myself. I saw my bloody, torn up suit of armor and sighed.

"Damn it. I loved that armor..."

I saw the bag I had brought from the Land Of Snow and walked to it, pulling out a more comfortable and easier to move in outfit. I pulled on the pair of black shorts, and , the grey wasit scarf, and then the black top that had stitching of a snowflake on the back. I pulled on the brown boots, tying my Allied Shinobi Forces headband around my upper right arm, clipping on my weapons pouch to my thigh I walked out of my tent.

It was night time already, I had been passed out for so long, anything could have happened.

I searched for a sensory type Shinobi that I can use to contact Shikaku, I needed to know where Kakashi was and if he was okay.

I wanted to check on Gunta, but we are in the middle of a war, I have to help everyone out, so I have no time to waste, I hope he will understand.

"You there!" I hollered out pointing at a frightened woman with a communicator backpack on, she stopped in her tracks, visibly shaking.

"Y-yes ma'am?!"

"I need to contact Shikaku. Think you can do that for me?" I held out my hand to touch her forehead.

She quickly place where forehead in my hand, "Y-yes ma'am!"

'Shikaku? It's Y/N, Can hear you me?'

'Yes, I can. Thank Kami you're alive. Everyone was worried you fell in battle.'

'It's going to take more than a mere child to take me down. But never mind that, where is Kakashi?'

'Hmm. He's five kilometers North away from your position.'

'Thanks. Keep me posted on Gunta will you?"

'Sure thing.'

I removed my hand from the sensory Shinobi and smiled at her, "Thank you."

She blushed and smiled back, "Of-of course ma'am."

I turned North and took off in a full sprint ignoring the painful protests in my back and stomach. I have to push through it, I have to push my body to fight.

I heard fighting in the distance, it was a little bit off of my course but I still need to help them. I am the back up runner after all, I climbed a high tree and peered down at the battlefield below me. I saw Kiba, Hinata, Neji, it was a sensory company, and they were fighting white zetzus. There were so many, and most of the company looked exhausted already.

I crouched down, spreading my legs wide and jumped off the branch, using the momentum from my fall, I snatched my white kunai out of my pouch and landed hard on a white zetzus, slashing another right beside me.

"Y/N sensei!!" Kiba yelled in excitement, causing Hinata and Neji to look my way.

"You guys miss me?!" I smiled and kicked another zetzu towards Neji who cut him down.

"We all though you were a goner."

"Nah, just needed a little break is all."

I kept slicing my way through the white zetsu fighting side by side with Hinata and Kiba.

"Do they ever end?!" I yelled out kicking a zetzu away as I stabbed him in the chest.

"We've been at it since the sun set!"

I noticed a Leaf Shinobi struggling with three zetzu attacking her, so I jumped in, landing behind her pushing my back against hers as more zetzu apporached us.

"I got your back-"

"Kaya ma'am."

"Kaya. Act is if I'm dying and you need to get me to the medical tent!" Her body was trembling violently, but she fought through like a champ.

I helped her until I was needed else where on the field, "You can do this! I believe in you!" And I ran off to help some Stone Shinobi, I cut and fought my way through the white zetzus, only to be kicked in the back, hard, sending me tumbling to the ground

"Agh!! Damn-it." My back was on fire and felt wet, I quickly scrambled to my feet, but was grabbed in a choke hold from behind. I struggled against the white zetzus, but the pain I was feeling took up most of my thoughts. I was slowly being choked out, and I could feel my Chakra being drained out of me.

"Th-they s-steal ch-chara!" I choked out, my vision going black, through the black spots dancing in my eye sight I saw Neji in the same predicament as me, struggling against a zetzu behind him.

"I got you!" Kiba yelled throwing the zetzu far into the trees behind us, I began to fall only go be caught my Kiba, he held onto my shoulders and waist to steady me on my feet as I caught my breath.

"Th-thanks Kiba, I owe you one."

"Nah don't sweat it." As I was recovering the rear of the company took out the remaining white zetzu.

Kiba sat me down on the ground and handed me his water pouch,

"Here, drink some water."

I nodded my head in thanks and took a two big gulps and handed it back, "Those white zetzu can drain your chakra, and fast. The one that had me drained half of mine. How you holding Neji?" I asked touching Neji's shoulder as he sat down next to me catching his breath as well.

"I'm fine. It didn't take too much of my Chakra."

"Good. Now everyone, take food pills if you have them, drink some water and rest a bit. I don't think there will be any more white zetzu here for a bit." I rose to my feet, walking over to pick up my kunai and put it back in my weapons pouch.

"Are you sure you should be moving right now Y/N sensei?" Hinata asked tending to Neji.

I turned to her and gave her a small smile, "I'm okay, I can't be too lazy and let you guys do all the work." She blushed and smiled back looking down at Neji.

"I'm going to go off and help anyone else who needs it, so rest up okay?"

"Yes ma'am!"

I scratched Akamaru behind his ear and dashed off, using tree limbs to jump off of and go faster.

As I was jumping, more images of Levi and I's fight flashed in my mind, the hatred he had in his eyes, the force of his attacks, the way he was so determined to kill me, that he ended up fatality wounded his own brother as Gunta jumped in to protect me. That's when I remembered, after Gunta had fallen, I didn't really really remember what happened after.

A pulsating feeling hit me in my heart and chakra points causing me to falter and misjudge my steps missing a tree branch completely, sending me tumbling to the ground. Hitting the ground hard I choked on air, the wind getting knocked out of my lungs.

I gasped as rested on my hands and knees, "W-what the hell was that?" I looked at my hands as they trembled, the pulsating feeling hit me again and I clenched my chest, my head began to pound, and I could hear the blood rushing in my ears.

Everything went in slow motion, Gunta falling to the ground, the fearful and guilty look into Levi's eyes as he watched his brother fall by his hand.

My eyesight turned blue, wind whipping my hair around and blue aura swirled around me.

Kill.

Kill.

Kill.

He killed him...

So you kill him.

Protect Gunta.

Protect Gulliver.

Kill Levi.

I felt something wrap around my body and I charged at Levi, grabbing him by his throat and squeezed hard, my hand and arm bore different armor than what I was wearing. But the power that I felt coursing through me, felt familiar to me.

The Ice Warrior...

"I...I awoken it? Over Gunta protecting me?"

"It's over there! That strange chakra is over there!!" A voice yelled out, many footsteps running towards me.

"Don't move! Who are you?!"

I slowly sat up, fighting through the pulsating pain in my chest. "L-Lady Y/N?"

"In the flesh." I joked pushing myself to my feet to stand on front of the group of people with their weapons drawn.

"B-But you just went off with Captain Kakashi!"

"What?" I asked confused looking in all the frightened and shocked eyes that I was in two places at once.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kakashi's P.O.V.

I held onto Y/N's hand as she led us deeper into the forest, away from prying eyes as she said. But I did noticed that her hand was unusually cold.

"You feeling okay? Your hand is really cold."

She didn't look at me as she smiled but her hand tensed up, "Yeah I'm fine. I'm always this cold remember?"

I narrowed my eyes at her, something was off about her but I couldn't quiet place what it is. She pulled me to a large tree and pushed me up against it, running her hand from my arms, to my shoulders.

"Now that we are alone..." One of her hands traveled down my chest, past my hip and was gone completely from my body. She leaned in to kiss me, but didn't close her eyes, I moved my head back to look at her as I pushed her gently back,

"Are you sure your-" someone jumped from a near by tree, landing on top of Y/N, slamming her to the ground.

"Y/N!" I whipped out my white kunai and held it in front of me as I watched the person pull an exact copy of my kunai out of Y/N's neck.

The figure stood up and flipped her hair out of her face, "Y-Y/N?"

The body I thought was Y/N began to transform into a white zetzu under her feet, "Cheating on me I see?" She chuckled twirling her kunai in her hand with a smile.

"I-I...I'm confused."

"White zetzu can drain your chakra, but it seems like they can use that and transform into the person whose chakra they stole. This must be the one Kiba threw off of me when I was with them fighting a horde of these zetzu."

She kicked the zetzu under her and walked into my arms, hugging me tightly.

"I'm glad you're okay though Kakashi." She buried her face in my chest as I wrapped my arms around her neck and took a deep inhale of her Lavender scent.

"I should be saying that to you, ya know? I got word that you fell after fighting-"

"Don't. Please...don't bring him up."

"And Gunta?"

"Recovering still. Gulliver must be with him still."

I trailed my hand down her back and she hissed arching her back away from my touch, "That still hurts."

I turned her around, lifting the back of her shirt up, the bandages that were wrapped around her, were now covered in fresh blood.

"You're bleeding. You've over worked yourself before you fully healed."

"I couldn't just lay there being useless. I'll be alright."

"Sit down." She groaned but did as I said, I used my kunai to cut her old bandages off, using what I could to wipe any blood off, her back began to turn blue and her skin was icy cold under my fingertips.

"I told you I'd be fine. I was just too preoccupied fighting to freeze my blood."

I reached into my back pouch and pulled out a roll of bandages and began to wrap her torso tightly.

"You can talk to me about it you know?"

She sighed clenching her fists on her thighs, "I don't want to talk about it. What's done is done, there's no going back."

I leaned my chest on her back to wrap her stomach when her hand shoots up to stop mine. "But..." She sighed, "To say I hate myself is na understatement." I kissed the back of her neck and continued to wrap the bandages around her.

When I was done I pulled her shirt back down and we both stood up and walked back to the company awaiting my orders.

"Okay, everyone get some rest, we're safe for now." Everyone went their separate ways to get some rest or survey the area.

Y/N sat under a tree, leaning up against it, folding her arm over her chest and closed her eyes.

I was in a trance, she was just so beautiful, and perfect. No matter what scars her body holds, or what lies within her heart, I know with every fiber of my being, that she loves me, and I her.

I watched her chest rise and fall with steady even breaths, this woman, who has been through so much hell, has held hatred deep within her for so long, is now the most caring, loving woman I have ever known.

Rin...Obito...aren't you proud of her too? Of how far she has come since we were children?

I made a vow to myself, that as long as my heart still beats, then hers will too.

I'll set nation's ablaze under her feet, watch as the flames dance her snowflake eyes as she strikes down our enemies. The World may never forgive us for the things we've done, but to hell with the World, it could be me and her against them all, and,

No Matter What, I'll Love Her Always.
