Hey everybody! Oh My God. This is the last chapter of "Trust". It went by way too fast for me and so, as I said last chapter: I am making this a series! After this chapter I will post the first chapter of "Remembrance". Wow, already done with the sequel. Im still in like, shock. Anyhoo, no more delay. Ladies and gentle men: the final chapter of "Trust".

CHAPTER 10:

Kakashi sighed as he watched Rayne walk out of the room to go "think". They had been arguing yet again about her staying. She seemed adamant to leave but then would always hesitate and sigh, saying she didnt know why she couldnt just get up and leave. She was confused and he truly understood that, but, he couldnt help feeling the way he does. He wants the woman he loves to stay with him. Even if she doesnt remember loving him. Maybe he could make her love him if she didnt remember him. He did it once before, he could do it again.

Easier said than done.

This Rayne was just as stubborn as his but she didnt fall for the looks he gave her or let him sweet talk her. She wouldnt let him in on how she was feeling. She kept all her emotions secret, just like she had done when she had first arrived in Konoha. But, this was worse. He had gotten his Rayne to open up, this one simply wouldnt.

Then there were the times when she thought no one was in the house and she was alone. She'd put her face in her hands and cry silently. She would stare down at her hands and mutter questions to herself: why the hell she felll for Tsume's act, why couldnt she just get up and leave, why had she been so damn gullible, why couldnt she remember having a family--something she'd apparently always wanted. It broke his heart to hear her cry, even if the only sound was her uneven breathe and her murmured questions. But, eventually she sensed she wasnt alone and she'd quickly wipe her tears away and try to look normal again. She was afraid of anyone seeing her break.

If he was a crying man, he would be crying like a baby right now at the thought of his family breaking apart and loosing the love of his life. But, he was a hardened shinobi. He was unbreakable. He had lost his family, his friends and his sensei. He could handle everything and anything life threw at him. Well, he had been able to...

"Kakashi? Are you okay?"

He looked up, startled out of his thoughts, at Kiana. "Im fine," he lied.

The blonde rolled her eyes and slowly made her way to sit next to him. "Kakashi, we spent a whole year together. Dont you think I know when you're lying by now?" she asked, leaning closer to him almost unnoticeably.

"Tell me whats wrong. Maybe I can help," she purred.

Rayne shook her head, "Rontu, I dont know what to do. Its so confusing."

The wolf layed his giant head on her lap and stared at her with peircing blue eyes.

"Oh, dont give me that look! I know what you think. You think i should stay. But, how can I focus on trying to get my memory back when I wish I could forget everything and go back to before Tsume was a bastard?" she argued.

Rontu just kept staring at her, knowing exactly what he was doing.

"Ugh, fine. I'll think about staying..."

His stare didnt falter. She broke.

"FINE! IM STAYING! Just stop looking at me like that!" she yelled, throwing her hadns up in defeat. She never did win those arguments.

Rontu smiled wolfishly and nuzzled his head into her stomach.

Rayne didnt bother to knock on Kakashi's door because it was already open. "Kakashi?" she asked as she opened it all the way.

Once the door was fully open she let out a little gasp.

Kiana had pulled Kakashi's mask down and was kissing him full on the lips.

As soon as kakashi saw Rayne he shoved Kiana away and stood up. His mask was still off and seeing his face had Rayne's mind flooding with memories.

The past seven years of her life hit her in an instant. The shock of all her memories coming back was nothing compared to the hurt she felt. Now that she remembered who Kakashi was, she remembered how much she loved him and she was able to feel the whole impact of his betrayal.

"Rayne, I can expl-" he began but was cut off as she shook her head, tears forming and turned to Kiana.

"You win. You can have him, I meant what I said." She turned to Kakashi, "I had come to tell you I was staying. Sorry, didnt mean to interrupt." She turned on her heel and quickly ran down the stairs.

Kakashi stared at the doorway and turned to Kiana. "What did she mean, 'you win'?" he demanded.

Kiana shrugged. "Oh, its just a little game I like to play. She said that if you and I had feelings for eachother or if we kissed or something like that, she would let you go. Her exact words were 'I dont need a cheating man'."

"When?" He grabbed and shook her shoulders violently, making her teeth rattle.

"About a month ago," she whimpered, scared now and no longer cocky and arrogant.

"That means she got her memory back. And she remembers me and- shit!" He turned and ran down the staircase. He was about to run out the door when he sensed her chakra still in the house. He felt it in Haine and Haru's room. Running to the room he stopped at the door.

Inside Rayne held Haine to her and was wiping away her tears. "Leave me alone, Kakashi," she muttered when she realized he was there.

Kakashi sighed and took a step into the room. But stopped when he saw her tense up.

"Rayne, just let me explain," he begged.

"No. I saw what happened. You and Kiana kissed. Thats all there is to it. You kissed another woman," she whispered as she stood and put Haine back in her crib.

"No, thats not all there is to it! She kissed me, Rayne!" he corrected.

Rayne looked up at him and felt her heart break again for the third ime in a few days time. It was bound to give out sometime, she mused in the back of her tortured mind. He was the most handsome man she had ever seen and his face was one she had looked forward to seeing everyday of her life. How stupid she was. She should have known that it was too good to be true.

"You should be the one to leave. I bought this house and I have to stay to take care fo the kids. They can visit you whenever you want, but right now, you have to leave." Her voice had found its strength. So what if her heart was shattered and felt like it would never repair? She'd survive. She had already, and that was even before she had kids to occupy her and give her a reason to go on. She was going to be strong, she had to be. And if that meant waking up alone for the rest of her life and hiding a broken beyond repair heart, so be it.

Kakashi took two long strides and was wrapping his arms around her before she could blink. "Rayne, I love you. I have since I met you and I always will. Please, just hear me out?" he pleaded into her hair. Kiana had been the one to kiss him. The only reason he didnt push her away the second their lips touched was that he was simply shocked. He hadnt even thought of her that way. Not once in the year they spent together. He had always been reading one of his book or too busy thinking of Rayne to pay any attention to the fact she was a woman.

Rayne pushed him away and put a hand up to distance him. "No, Kakashi. I cant deal with this right now. I just cant. Leave, dont make me say it again. We'll talk.eventually, but right now I need to get back to being a mother. Kakomi and Kasume havent had a mother for about a week and a half now. Too long, I think. Dont make this harder than it has to be. Just go," she said, her voice carefully collected. It was thanks only to her skills as a ninja that she wasnt breaking down in front of him or holding him and asking him to tell her that he didnt love that blonde bitch in the other room. But, she didnt and she doubted she ever would. She'd already embarrassed herself enough by crying useless tears in front of him.

She slid her engagement ring off her finger and placed it in one of his vest pockets wordlessly. Then she took three steps back to ensure distance.

Kakashi stared at her for a moment before slowly and painfully nodding. "I'll leave now. But, we will talk soon and Im going to tell you what happened, whether or not you want to hear it. You know I love you, Rayne. You should also know I have no feelings for Kiana- at all." He pulled his mask up and sighed, "I'll be back soon. When you are ready to let me tell you the truth, I'll be at Asuma's."

When she didnt say anything or look up at him, he turned and walked out of the house -his house. He'd be back, he knew he would. What he and Rayne had, a onesided kiss couldnt break.

He looked up at the house and sighed once more before turning and walking towards Asuma's.

When Rayne was sure Kakashi was gone, she looked up and took in a shaky breath.

He was really gone. But, he said he'd be back. Somewhere in her she felt the slow chill and hollowing sensation of betrayal. She had felt it seven years ago and had lived with it for four straight years. But, she wouldnt be alone this time. She still had Rontu and her kids.

To prevent the sensation from spreading she decided to trade it for anger. Anger she knew exactly where to vent.

"Open this door now or I'm going to break it!" Rayne's voice was low and harsh and had Kiana shaking on the other side of it.

Angry Rayne is a scary Rayne and Kiana hadnt been this nervous in her life.

Suddenly the door creaked open and Rayne was in her line of sight. Kiana gulped. Even a seasoned kunoichi like her was afraid of Rayne. She had done her research and knew that Rayne had endured both mental and physical torture during her two months with Tsume and Orochimaru. She also knew that Rayne was an incredibly skilled ninja to start with and that her torture and pain had only made her train harder and incease her skills. Basically, she was a ninja that many would avoid a fight with.

And stupid, stupid Kiana had gone and picked one. She now regretted her choice to iniciate a 'game' with Rayne.

"Now, remember what I said about you laying a hand on my man?" Rayne asked as she took up her fighting stance.

"Crap," Kiana replied as she did the only thing she could and took up her own fighting stance.

"I thought you would."

I KNOW, its sad and all of you want Kakashi and Rayne back together. But, Rayne is a strong woman and she (due to past experiences) does not handle betrayal too well.

Then again, it IS Kakashi Hatake we are talking about here. Maybe Rayne will find it in her heart to forgive him...BEFORE someone tries steal hers!

OH YEAH! Plot twist alert!
