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

Chapter 15

The next morning I groaned and opened my eyes when the sun beamed down my face. "Morning" said a voice, as I closed my eyes feeling Kakashi kissing my forehead. I soon stopped and opened my eyes. I sat up and smiled when Kakashi cupped my face. When could I tell the difference between their kisses? I then paused when Kakashi handed me my newly finished manga. "I hope you don't mind I read it" he said, as I smiled. "And?" I asked, as he smiled and kissed my forehead again. "It's very good considering you haven't made a romance before" he said, as I smiled more. "Yo" said a voice, as I blushed seeing Itachi in a towel walking out of the bathroom. "All yours Kakashi" said Itachi, as Kakashi sighed but stood up. "You should really get dressed before coming out of the bathroom" said Kakashi, as Itachi shrugged and watched as Kakashi entered the washroom. Itachi then sat beside me and I blushed while just feeling the steam coming from his body. I soon blushed more when Itachi tilted my chin towards him. "I want you to know that we are here for you no matter what" he whispered, as I smiled. "Does that mean you will tell your family and friends about me?" I asked, as Itachi paused and I eyed him not moving from my spot. "Yeah" he said, as I smiled more. "And did you ask Kakashi?" asked Itachi, as I shook my head. "No, not yet" I said "So why ask me first?" asked Itachi, as I smirked while narrowing my eyes at him. "Because the thought of your family terrorizes me more than the thought of Kakashi's friends" I said pushing him. I then screeched a bit when he fell back and his towel came loose. "What happened?" asked Kakashi opening the door in sweatpants. As I turned my head away from Itachi blushing bright red and Kakashi sighed. "This is why I said to change first" said Kakashi, as Itachi sighed while grabbing his towel. "Good to know your a virgin" said Itachi standing up, as I blushed more. "SHUT UP" I shouted, as Itachi chuckled and kissed the back of my head. I eyed Itachi going back into the washroom and closed the door behind him. I sighed in relief and then smiled when Kakashi wrapped his arms behind me. "So what were you talking about before all that?" asked Kakashi, as I leaned my head back on his shoulder. Kakashi smirked and I looked up at him. "Itachi said he would talk to his family about me" I said, as Kakashi chuckled. "Oh" he said, as I lightly kissed the nape of Kakashi's neck. Kakashi looked a bit a little surprised and then smiled. "I was wondering if you would be okay with introducing your friends about me" I said, as Kakashi stopped and paused a bit. "I..." he said, as I looked up at him. "Is that a problem?" I asked, as Kakashi put his hands through my hair. "My friends are very judgmental" he said, as I lowered my head. "Oh" I said sitting up. "Rei" he said, as I paused when my cell phone rang. "I have to get that" I said grabbing my cell and ran out to the porch closing the door behind me. 

"Hello?" I said "So? How did it go?" asked Hana, as I smiled sadly. "Well they don't hate me" I said "But?" asked Hana, as I looked back. "Kakashi doesn't want to introduce me to his friends" I said, as Hana sighed. "Well to be fair he's a bit older and mature than you. You have to give him time to go through all this, especially if he's sharing you" said Hana, as I paused. "Yeah, yeah, your right" I said, as Hana sighed. "You... haven't heard from Haku have you?" she asked, as I paused. "Not since last night" I said, as Hana sighed. "I was afraid of that" said Hana, as I narrowed my eyes. "Hana? What's wrong?" I asked "Apparently Haku's boyfriend broke up with him last night" said Hana, as I stopped and froze in place. "That's probably why he said all those things to you last night" said Hana, as I shook my head. "Okay, I'll go back" I said "What? Your on vacation" said Hana, as I shook my head. "No I'm going home" I said ending the call with Hana and slammed open the sliding door seeing Kakashi and Itachi looking at me shocked. "I have to go home" I said, as they looked at me surprised. "What?" asked Itachi, as I ran into the other room and grabbed my bag. "I'm going home" I said again, as I paused when they blocked me from leaving. "Rei" said Itachi, as I sighed and looked at them. "My friend's not answering his phone" I said, as they paused and listened to me. "He's my best friend and my other best friend told me his boyfriend broke up with him and she hasn't heard from him since yesterday" I said, as Itachi and Kakashi looked at each other. "We'll take you home" said Kakashi, as my eyes widened when they grabbed their things and we left the hot springs after paying for our stay. I sat in the front just gripping my cell phone in my hands. "Is this the friend who got you wondering about your future?" asked Kakashi while keeping his eyes on the road. I bit my lip but refused to say anything. "Just please take me home" I begged, as Kakashi nodded his head. Kakashi then parked the car in front of my apartment building and I ran out of the car just having my cell and keys in hand. I made my way to my floor and stopped seeing a drunk Haku at my doorstep. "Haku" I said bending down at him and brushed his hair with my fingers. He slowly opened his eyes and had tears crawling down. "I guess you have a better future than I thought" he whispered, as I shook my head. "Haku" I said, as I hugged him. "Rei" said a voice, as I looked back seeing Kakashi and Itachi behind me with my things. "Open the door" said Itachi, as I nodded. I watched as they placed my things down and walked over to Haku. Kakashi put his right arm over his shoulder and Itachi put Haku's left arm over his shoulder. I opened the door and they helped him inside. I then watched as they carried him to the couch and laid him down. I brought my bags in and closed the door behind us. I walked over to my closet and grabbed a wash clothe and put cold water on it. I then placed it over Haku's forehead. 

I then turned to Itachi and Kakashi. "Thanks" I said, as they paused and looked at me. "Thanks for breaking out weekend away early. Haku is very important to me" I said, as Itachi went quiet and Kakashi smiled. "Of course, we know your friends are important to you" said Kakashi, as tears started welling up in my eyes and I hugged them both at the same time. They looked at me shocked but smiled while patting my head. "Thanks" I mumbled, as they smiled. We then stopped when there was a knock at my door. I walked over to my door and opened it. "Hana?" I questioned, as she walked in. "I knew it" said Hana, as she walked over to Haku. "You had to do this to her" said Hana, as Haku pulled the blanket that was on the couch over his head. Hana then sighed but then smiled towards Itachi and Kakashi. "Hi, my name is Hana Inuzuka" she said, as they smiled nervously towards her. "I'm one of Rei's best friends" she said, as they nodded. "Hana, can we do this later?" I asked, as Hana crossed her arms and glared at Haku. "It was his own fault" said Hana, as I sighed and walked over to Haku. "Haku? Want some water? Are you hung over?" I asked, as Haku kept quiet. "Well I have to go. Nice meeting you both" said Hana walking out my front door. "I'll go down to the store and grab some food" said Itachi, as I smiled when he kissed my forehead. Itachi walked out the front door as well and I just looked at Haku not moving with the blanket still covering his face. "He's a close friend huh?" asked Kakashi, as I looked at him. "Haku has been with me since I started high school. I kept my background a secret and he was the only one who stuck by me after finding out the truth" I said, as I paused when Kakashi kissed my forehead. "And now because of him you have enough confidence to have us" said Kakashi, as I smiled a bit. We then stopped when there was a knock at my door. Who could that be? I walked over to my door and opened it. My eyes then widened seeing Haku's older boyfriend Zabuza. "Zabuza" I said, as Haku quickly sat up and looked at him shocked. "I need to talk to the kid" said Zabuza, as I narrowed my eyes. "He's not here" I said about to close the door, but my eyes widened when he pushed the door open causing me to fly backwards. Luckily Kakashi caught me. "Kakashi?" questioned Zabuza, as Kakashi narrowed his eyes at Zabuza. "Zabuza" said Kakashi, as they glared at each other.
