The Crow's Soul and The Scarecrow's Heart (On Hiatus)

Chapter 14

I looked at Kakashi and Itachi eating the sushi that was brought into our room. I was slowly eating myself. "Rei, are you alright?" asked Itachi, as I jumped a bit and looked at them looking at me. "Yeah, yeah just thinking about my new Manga I have to create" I lied, as they nodded. The truth was, I knew what I wanted to draw, but my issue was how the ending was going to turn out. My romance was something I never really thought I could share until now. Being with Kakashi and Itachi were making me come out of my shell, I never even thought about if I was sexually attracted to them or not. I had to be right? But what if I wasn't? "Rei" said Itachi, as I jumped and looked at him shocked. "I said if your that worried about it, maybe you should start on it now" said Itachi, as I bit my lip and nodded. I sat up and walked to one of the bedrooms. 

Meanwhile Itachi and Kakashi watched me exit to the next room. "Do you buy that?" asked Itachi, as Kakashi sighed. "Not likely, but it's not something we can force her on" said Kakashi "Especially with the incident involving Kin" said Itachi, as Kakashi eyed him. "Incident?" asked Kakashi, as Itachi sighed. "I thought she was leaving us for Kin, when in reality Kin is her older twin brother. I had no idea, but to be fair I got angry at her without letting her explain herself or her situation that she was in" said Itachi slowly eating a piece of sushi. "In other words you jumped the gun and tried to force her to tell you everything" said Kakashi, as Itachi sighed and turned his head a bit. "And then her mother called me after she went to sleep that night" said Itachi, as Kakashi sighed while closing his eyes. "Interesting cause her father called me" said Kakashi, as Itachi smirked. "Oh? He did seem to take a shine to you" said Itachi, as Kakashi growled. "It wasn't like that, he just ask that I take care of his daughter because she can be very negative about herself and her background" said Kakashi, as Itachi sighed. "Her mother ask that I keep her in line and make sure she doesn't make a fool of herself" said Itachi, as Kakashi narrowed his eyes. "Seems like one cares about her well being and the other cares about her attitude" said Kakashi "One is too cowardly to say anything and the other needs to talk to her personally" said Itachi, as they sighed. "Well I think this calls for the hot springs" said Kakashi standing up. "Yeah sounds good" said Itachi.

I was sighing while drawing my drafts. I then paused when there was a knock at the door. "Rei" said a voice, as I looked at the silhouette at my door. "Kakashi and I are headed to the hot springs. We'll talk to you later" said Itachi "Okay" I said, as I continued to draw. Once I knew I was finished my first volume I dialed Hana's number. "Hey" she said, as I sighed. "What do I do?" I asked, as Hana sighed this time. "Tell me what has happened so far" she said, as I sighed and explained everything. "Rei, I think it's time for you to see if your attracted to them" said Hana, as I bit my lip. "But-"No buts Rei, they have already met you parents. They probably already phone them trying to pin them against each other because that's what they did with Haku and I. You need to do this yourself Rei otherwise there is no point in going any further with them" said Hana, as I paused when hearing the door open. "I have to go. Thanks Hana" I said, as I pressed the end call button on my cell. I gulped and stood up. I made my way to my bag and opened it up. I then got changed into a t-shirt. I looked down and blushed a million shades of red. This was a good a chance as any. If I didn't do this now, there was no point in being with them. I braided my hair and took a step towards the door. I opened it slightly taking a peek. I saw Itachi sitting half way on the porch wearing his kimono while his feet were sticking outside. Then there was Kakashi sitting perfectly at the table while reading. I bit my lip and opened the sliding door. "I'm going to bed now" I said, as they both looked at me and their eyes widened shocked. I closed the sliding door behind me and I just stood there not moving. "Rei" said Kakashi, as I blushed and avoided eye contact. "Unless, there's a reason I shouldn't?" I asked, as both Kakashi and Itachi's eyes widened more. "What are you trying to do?" asked Itachi, as I looked at him. "What?" I asked, as Itachi shook his head and walked out onto the porch. My eyes widened and I paused when Kakashi stood up and walked towards me. "Rei, get some sleep" said Kakashi, as I looked at him shocked this time as well. "But I-" I was about to say, but Kakashi opened the sliding door behind me and lightly pushed me inside. "Night Rei" he said closing the sliding door in my face. My heart broke like it always does and I sat at my bed. I wasn't tired and I wasn't hungry. I hugged my knees and tears started welling up in my face. Did I really do the wrong thing? Was I that unattractive? I slowly started inking my pages and once finished I look at the time seeing five a.m. I then paused and turned my head when the sliding door opened. I saw Itachi and Kakashi standing there while crossing their arms. "Rei" said Itachi, as I lowered my head. "It's fine, there's nothing to worry about. " I said, as my eyes widened when Kakashi grabbed my wrist and pulled me up. I tripped over myself and fell in his arms. My eyes widened and I blushed bright red. "Rei, we need to talk" said Kakashi, as he pulled me towards the table and we sat around it. "What's been going through your head?" asked Itachi, as I stayed quiet. "It's research" I lied, as Itachi growled and Kakashi sighed. "We could always call your parents" said Kakashi, as I narrowed my eyes. "Like they know anything" I said, as my eyes widened when Itachi got up and pushed me down to the ground. "ITA-" I was about to shout, but he cut me off and kissed my lips. I couldn't help but close my eyes and kiss him back. When he broke I whimpered a bit while tugging on the front part of his kimono. "Start talking" he whispered in my ear causing me to close my eyes. "N-no" I said, as I gasped when Itachi started sliding up his right hand on my leg. I took my hands and tried to push him away, until another pair of hands grabbed mine and pinned my hands above my head. I looked up seeing Kakashi looking down at me. I then started fidgeting when Itachi's hand started sliding up my leg more. My eyes then widened as a moan escaped my lips. Itachi smirked and Kakashi smiled at me gently. "Shall I continue this then? Or are you going to tell us what's been going on?" asked Itachi, as I bit my lip. "I... was just thinking about the future" I said, as Itachi and Kakashi stopped for a moment. Kakashi released me and Itachi helped me sat up. I smiled sadly at the floor. "My friend got me thinking about how long this relationship will last and how long can this keep going. While my other friend told me that it's too soon to even think about that and to concentrate more to see if I connected with the both of you" I said blushing while turning my head. "You don't think we connect?" asked Kakashi, as I blushed more. "I wasn't sure. I've never had an actual relationship long enough to even determine if I had sexual feelings" I said embarrassed. "Well then" said Itachi, as I blushed when he started nibbling on my neck. "Itachi" said Kakashi, as I started breathing heavily. Kakashi then smirked and my eyes widened as he started kissing my arms. "I have a r-request to make" I wheezed, as they stopped and looked at me. "Please don't listen to my parents" I said, as they eyed each other. "Why not?" asked Itachi, as I bit my lip. "They try and pinned my friends against each other the last time they got involved with my life. I don't want them to do that with you" I said, as they smiled towards me. "Don't worry about that Rei" said Kakashi brushed my hair with his fingers causing a shiver to go down my spine with his cool touch. "Besides, we're more concerned about you than anything" said Itachi, as I smiled when he kissed the top of my right ear.
