Kakashi¡s P.O.V.

I looked at the picture of team 7 sadly. Today was the day.

"Kakashi-sama," Katsuro called me from my doorway, making me take my eyes off of the picture. "Are you ready?"

I nodded, and we headed out, where Akio and Daisuke stood. All of us started walking. No conversation was made, which was a new thing for Daisuke. 

We arrived and joined the others. Asuma came to me instantly and we had a short hug, then Kurenai hugged me and took Asuma's hand in hers. They hadn't left each other's side since Asuma came back. Naruto was staring straight ahead, an emotionless face on, while Sakura was crying and being comforted by an also crying Ino. 

I put my hand in Naruto's shoulder reassuringly and tears started to fall from his eyes.

"It's not fair," Naruto muttered sadly.

"I know," I said as I looked forward to the haunting view.

I spotted someone coming towards us, and soon found it to be Kiba. He was a mess. He had bags under his bloodshot eyes, and Akamaru was wimpering besides him. He was hugged by Shikamaru as soon as he arrived and then it started. The Hokage said a few words, which I didn't pay attention too, too lost in my thoughts. Then, she called me forward.

I walked forward and turned towards everyone.

"As you all know, a week ago Akatsuki members attacked the fire temple," I started feeling my hands tremble. "A group of shinobi went after them, and they got in a messy fight. And, not for the fisrt time, she showed brabery like no other. She was after all, a very determined ninja. Time after time, she showed just how much loyalty she had to this village. To many, she was a friend. She would do anything for anyone, afterall. But to me, she was a daughter. She saved my friend that day, she sacrificed everything, because she didn't want me to suffer loss again, but she didn't realize loosing her hurt me too. S-She's leaving many people that love her behind. But most importanly, she's leaving an example. She always put her teams and village above herself. Akira was truly-"

I couldn't continue as tears fell from my eyes. Asuma came and gave my shoulder a squeeze.

"Kakashi," Asuma muttered urgently. "Kakashi wake up.."

I sat upright suddenly panting and standing up.

"Kakashi! Are you alright?" Asuma asked concerned.

We were in the hospital still. She's not dead. Tears actually fell from my eyes as I realized this. That nightmare seemed so real.

"What happened? Is she awake?" I asked turning to Asuma, who looked concerned and kind of guilty.

"No, not yet," he sighed sadly.

It has been a week. Tsunade managed to eliminate most wounds, but the deep gash in her stomach was harder to cure than normal wounds. Apparently she had performed a jutsu which transmitted Asuma's wounds to her. It was almost gone though, and she was better. But still, she wasn't waking up. Shikamaru was soundly asleep in one of the chairs.

"Where's Naruto?" I asked noticing he was missing.

"Went with Kurenai and Kiba to bring some food. They were torturing themselves here. But Shikamaru wouldn't leave. He fell asleep a while ago."

"Asuma," Kurenai said hugging Asuma as they arrived. She has been like this all week. She was really scared. We all were.

Naruto handed me a bag of food and sat himself on the floor to eat, Kiba following suit. The door opened and we all stood up.

"How is she?" I asked Sakura as she came out looking wonr out. 

"She's better, nothing is off... but still no signs that she's concious. She is very weak still, but visitors are allowed now. Only one person at a time though."

No one made a move to enter. Good, I was going in wheter they like it or not.

As soon as I entered i let out a tiny gasp. She looked fragil, too fragil.

I sat beside her and took her hand in mine, feeling my eyes water a little.

"Please wake up Akira," I whispered caressing her hand. "At least make some kind of movement. I need to know you're alright. I can't loose you. You're my daughter... you are too important for me. don't give up... please."

I stood up, not able to be there anymore and went outside. Kiba instantly stood up and headed inside. They all took turns in going in and just as Shikamaru was about to go inside, Sakura arrived to check her up.

We waited until we heard a gasp. Then some movement was heard in the room and we all stood up panicked. Was something wrong? 

"Sakura?" we all heard a weak and confused voice mutter.

"Akira! You're up!"

I couldn't care less if Sakura hadn't let us in, I opened the door and stared wide-eyed as Akira tryided to sit up.

Akira's P.O.V.

I could hear voices, yet not words. I could feel when someone took my hand or caressed my cheek, but I couldn't respond. I was confused and lost. I felt completely stiff and my body hurt. Soon, the events came back to me. The fight, and Asuma. Asuma! I hope he is alright now. I also felt hungry. Very hungry. Damn I want to wake up.

I strained and tried hard to open my eyes, and I was greeted by a blinding light. I blinked a few times as I heard a cry of surprice. But I was still in a daze and couldn't exactly tell who it was or what they said. I tried to sit up and spotted Kakashi by the door. Apperently, by all the white, I'm in a hospital.

He said something before he was suddenly squishing me, making me let out a surpriced gasp. My ears finally returned to normal and I could hear him sobbing.

"I was so worried! Don't do that ever again you hear me!"

"K-Kakashi, you're hurting me," I complained smiling slightly.

"Sorry, he said loosening his grip and helping me sit up.

"AKIRA-CHAN!" Naruto said with wide eyes and an o shaped mouth. Tears slowly fell from his eyes.

I saw all the other shocked faces and sweatdropped.

"You all looked like you just saw someone die..." I muttered scared.

But then I spotted Asuma and smiled at him. "Asuma-sensei! You're okay! I'm glad!"

Asuma smiled letting out a relieved sight and everyone finally get throught their heads I had woken up.

Soon, Kiba pushed everyone, including Kakashi (Sho didn't look to happy but let it slide) and hugged me lightly.

"I thought I'd lose you," He whispered, his voice breaking.

"Oh please, you're not getting rid of me that easily," I said happily before kissing him lightly on the lips. 

Kiba smiled and rolled his eyes.

"AKIRAAA!" Daisuke, Akio and Katsuro came in the room. Daisuke being the one who had shouted.

I looked at all of the people in my room and noticed something.

"Damn, you all look like shit!" I said noticing the bags in everyone's eyes. "It's not like I was dead people!"

"You were in a coma for a week!" Sakura said angrily "We were all worried!"

"A WEEK!" I said surpriced. "Sorry for worrying you then..." I said scratching the back of my neck. "But you should have a little more faith people! I'm not going down! I have many things to do!"

Everyone chuckled and smiled, making me smile as well. I have the most amazing friends ever... actually.

"OKAY GUYS!" I said excited of my new idea. "I have to tell you all something."

"What is it?" Naruto asked smiling.

"YOU'RE ALL ADDED OFFICIALY TO MY FAMILY! Asuma and Kurenai will be my aunt and uncle, and Shika can be my cousin... Ne Kakashi? Why isn't Gai here? Doesn't he care for me? And what about Sai! SAI! You're a bad brother!"

Everyone sweatdropped as I pouted childishly.

"What?" I asked innocently. Which made everyone laugh.

I love this guys, i thought as I smiled. Everything I have planed will be worth it. They deserve to be happy. Soon I was laughing along with everyone and Sai actually came! he brought me flowers! I might have hugged him to long, until Kiba got angry and pulled me to him. I love it when he's overprotective!

"So what did I miss?" I asked after we all relaxed.

"They're dead," Shikamaru said easily. "We all went and completed the missions.

"Oh," I said relieved. They still went after them. This means.. I can change some stuff!
