The Wolf And I

Chapter Fifteen

- Dream -

I stood between mom and dad with Haku in my arms at Lee's funeral. We were dressed in black and I was crying. There was only a few people there. Me, Haku, mom, dad, Naruto, Temari, Ino, Sakura, Tsunade, Jiraiya, Shizune, and Hayate.

The peacher was saying good-bye words or something like that. When he was done talking everyone got up and started saying how they were sorry for my loss. I didn't listen to any of it. I just stared at the casket with orange, white, and dark orange roses on top of it. I only stop staring at it when Haku, which was one at the time, wrapped his arms around my neck and put his head in the crook of my shoulder.

After I sat there, crying, for an hour I got up, slowly, and walked to the casket. I put my hand on the casket.

'Good-bye Lee. I'm sorry for what I did. Please watch over me and Haku.'

With that I walked away and stood at the car waiting for mom to unlock it.

- End Of Dream -

I woke up and noticed quickly that I was alone. I slowly got up to a sitting position to look around. The closet light wasn't on but the living room lights were. I look at the clock.

12:50 pm

'I have a couple of hours before the sleepover.'

I thought while getting out of bed slowly. My arms did not look any better then they did this morning. I slowly walked into the living room. I found Neji and Haku there.

Neji was sprawled out on the couch watching Haku play with toys. I walked over to Neji and laid down on top of him. I rested my cheek on his shoulder and wrapped my arms around him. He wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed the top of my head.

"Good afternoon."

I whisper.

"Good afternoon babe."

He whispered back and I could tell that he was smirking. Haku looked up at us and he got up.

"Group hug with mommy and daddy!"

He yelled running over to us and jumping on us. Neji had stiffened from being called 'daddy' and I had also stiffened because I didn't know how Neji would react. Neji then did something I didn't expect, he smiled at Haku and wrapped his arm around him and tightened the one around me. We laid there for about a minute before the door opened. Naruto walked in followed by Temari, Ino, Sakura, Raven, Lightning, Ren, and Kejij.

"What did we just walk in too?"

Naruto asked in his loud voice. Haku wiggled his way out of Neji's arm and ran over to Naruto.

"Uncle Naruto!"

Haku yelled. I got up off Neji and pulled him up to a sitting position. I pecked him on the cheek before walking to the bedroom. Temari, Ino, Sakura, Raven, and Lightning followed. I let them pass me so I could close the door. They all went on the bed. Lightning sat cross-legged by the pillows, Raven sprawled out on the pillows, Temari laid on her stomach at the end of the bed, Ino laid on her back beside Temari, and Sakura laid down between Ino and Lightning. I shook my head at them and walked into the closet.

"So what was that between you, Neji, and Haku?"

Ino asked. I slipped my shirt and tank-top off before answering.

"Um. Nothing. But Haku called Neji 'daddy' before you guys came in. Does that mean Haku is warming up to Neji?"

I asked the girls. I changed my bra to a black sports bra and slipped on one of my no armpits shirts. It was dark green with a basketball on it.
