(1/2) Can I Ever Love Again?

;)

So I'm just sitting here with a 2-minute miso soup cup and a pint of mint chocolate chip icecream...

Yeah...

Hanako POV FOR THE THIRD TIME

I wake up from my nap and stretch hearing a few things pop and crack.

I open my eyes a see it's sunset already.

Wow! I had a good nap.

I climb out of bed and walk to the kitchen where Kakashi is making ramen.

"Hi!" I say cheerfully.

He looks over at me, "that nap did you some good."

I smile, "I KNOW RIGHT! I feel so rested and FREEEEEE," and I skip out of the kitchen into the living room.

"Hi!" I say to my mom and brother.

"Did you have a nice nap?" my mom asks lazily.

"Yes! I feel so refreshed!" I say

Hamuno sweatdrops, "that's great!"

Suddenly, there's a puff of smoke in Kakashi's living room.

"Pukkun!" I yell.

"Yo," he says gruffly.

"Mother, Hamuno, this is Pakkun, he's one of Kakashi's summons," I explain.

They nod.

"Yeah, well where's Kakashi?" Pakkun asks.

"Kitchen," I state simply.

He trots off to the kitchen and a few seconds I hear Kakashi yell, "WHAT?!"

I run into the kitchen along with the other two people of the house.

"Sorry Kakashi, I was caught in the moment," he explains.

"Pakkun, I can't take care of puppies!" Kakashi says calmy but sternly.

"Kakashi, you have to help me," Pakkun pleads.

Kakashi sighs loudly, "Fine, but all of them can't become ninja hounds. How long do I have to prepare?"

"A little less than a month," Pakkun says.

"Okay, I'm disappointed in you Pakkun," Kakashi says.

"Yeah yeah, I get it boss," Pakkun says and poofs off.

Kakashi turns to his audience, "I hope you don't mind that I may have to house newborn puppies...."

And with that he walks outside.

We stand silently for a moment.

"Uh, well I'm going to go read Icha-Icha," Hamuno says.

"Stop reading that perverted trash," my mom says.

"Mom! Those are good books!" I say.

She rolls her eyes and walks to the dinner Kakashi neglected.

I sigh, "I'm going to find Kakashi."

Hamuno nods.

I run out of the house looking for any sign of Kakashi.

I look in restaurants and bars until I see him.

At a bar....

With empty shot glasses surrounding him.

I slide into the booth he's sitting in.

"Kakashi?" I ask surprised.

"Shi Ha-Hanako......what are -hic- you doooin heere?" he asks very slurred and hicuppy.

"Oh no, Kakashi! You're drunk," I say not knowing how to deal with a drunk man.

Okay, just make sure he doesn't get violent.

"I'm not drunk -hic-" he says.

"Kakashi, let's go!" I say and take his wallet and put some money on the table.

I sling his arm over my shoulder and help him to walk straight.

"Mmmmm, you have really pretty hair!" he giggles.

That's the thing about drunk people, they say what the think.

"Where are you taking me, Hanananako?"

"Guy's place," I answer simply, remembering where he lived.

"Guy is my friendsssss..." he says.

I continue to lug him to Guy's apartment.

Why does he live on the top floor?

"Can I touch your boobs Hanakoooo?" Kakashi asks poking my breasts.

"Kakashi!" I warn.

"Ooooppsies sorry," he giggles.

I finally find Guy's door.

"Guy! Open up!" I yell and bang on his door.

Guy opens the door, with a ramen cup in hand.

"So Kakashi got drunk, and I don't really want to take that back home to my family," I say awkwardly.

"SHE WOULDN'T LET ME SQUISH HER BOOBIES!" Kakashi whines loudly like a two year old.

Guy bursts out laughing, "oh my, you poor youthful soul! I'll keep him for the night, thanks for bringing him by."

"Uh yeah," I say and push Kakashi into Guy's house.

"Wait! Hanako can I have a kiss!" Kakashi asks almost sounding normal.

I lean in and pull his mask down and softly place my lips on his, tasting the sake he was drinking all night.

"Goodnight Kakashi," I wave and leave.

"Oh and thanks Guy!" I say and leave.

I walk out into the night.

Oh, it's cold, I wish I had Kakashi's vest right now, my vest is at home.

I look to see if there are any shops open.

No, doesn't look like it.

I transform into my half tiger form, just for fun.

My speed is enhanced so I begin to run.

When I'm close to home, I slow to a walk so I'm not sweating or panting when I get in.

"So, where's Kakashi?" Hamuno asks.

"Emergency mission, Hokage's orders, he should be back tomorrow," I lie quickly.

"Oh, well come join us for dinner," he says.

I nod and go to sit with them.

"I'm glad you are both here, I have to tell you something," my mother starts.

"What is it?" we asks in synch.

"It's your father. He's alive, and he wants our clan dead," she says slowly.

I shake my head, "no! no! no!"

Hamuno looks angry, "WHAT?!"

"Children, calm down!" she demands.

We both sit back down.

"Mother, you told us our father had died!" Hamuno says.

She nods, "he did.....but he's back."

"What?" I ask.

"Who is he? What's his name?" my brother asks.

"His name is....Orochimaru."

Whaaaattt?!

Lol that was a nice ending.
