Chapter 14-The reason

The next day, Kakashi woke up early in the morning. He marched to the bathroom and took a quick shower. After that, he got out and dressed in his usual outfit. Today is Aya's birthday. He decided to take Aya to go meet with his students' instead staying home doing nothing since Iruka had given her the day off.

He still remembered what had happened last night - the way Aya had acted showed that she wasn't being herself. He knew there something was wrong, and he wondered if this something had anything to do her past. How would he know? He didn't but he could already tell by looking into her eyes that she was sad. But right now, it wasn't the time to think of that.

He looked at the time and knew that Aya wasn't awake yet since she hadn't made breakfast yet. He wondered why she wasn't awake yet. He was going to find out right now.

Kakashi went to Aya's room and he opened the door, "Misumi, its morning! How long are you going to slee-huh?" He saw that Aya wasn't in her room. It was completely empty.

"Where did she go?" He looked around her room to see if she had left any note. However, there was no note.

Kakashi rushed to the phone and dialed a number. While waiting for the phone to pick up, Kakashi tapped his foot impatiently before someone picked up.

"Moushi, Moushi, Yuuhi's residence."

"Kurenai, it's me, Kakashi!"

"Kakashi? What brought you to calling me this early morning?"

"Is Misumi with you?"

"Aya? No, she's not here. Why do you ask?"

"What! Then where is she? Is she with anyone this morning?"

"Not that I know… Did she go to work today?"

"No! She doesn't have work today! I don't know where she is now!"

"…This is bad, Kakashi! Don't you know that we're planning a surprise party for her!"

"Surprise party? I thought you guys said that you won't-"

"Never mind that! You have to go find her before Iruka finds out. He'll get mad if he hears this!"

"Right! Just don't tell anyone, okay?"

"I won't, now go look for her!"

"Right! Oh, that's right; can you take care of my students?"

"Sure, no problem. Oh yeah… if you're going out, is it okay to do the party at your place?"

"Sure, sure, whatever you want! I have to go now! Ja!"

After Kakashi hung up the phone and quickly slipped his black shoes on. He left his apartment.


-Looking for Aya-

The Jounin searched Aya for the whole day. Kakashi had been checking each of the stores, but there was still no sign of Aya. It likes she had disappeared. It was almost sunset if he didn't find her fast. The snow is going to come, she could get cold. He stopped at one shop that he hadn't check yet. It was the Yamanaka Flower Shop.

The bell rang when Kakashi opened the door, "Welcome!" A girl shouted happily.

He walked in and saw a blonde girl with long ponytail who was at the counter table, looking at him with a wide smile.

"Hey, aren't you Hatake Kakashi? Sasuke-kun's sensei?" She asked.

"Yeah, I am." He answered.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Yamanaka Ino. What brought you here? Are you here to buy flowers?" She said in a sweet tone.

"No, I'm not here to buy flowers. I came here to ask you if you seen a light green haired girl come to your store?"

"A light green haired girl…" She tried to remember, her image popped up, "oh! That girl! Hai, I've seen that girl and she did come here."

"She did? Do you know where she is?" Kakashi asked.

"No, not really. She was acting weird when she came in."

"Acting weird?"

"Yeah, this is how it happened." Ino began to tell her story.


-Flashback-

The doorbell rang when it's opened, "Welcome!" Ino shouted happily.

Ino saw a light green haired girl walk in who looked very shy and began look around. She spotted a white flower, kneeled down, and stared at that flower for awhile.

"May I help you?" She looked up and saw Ino behind her.

"Um…I…" She said bit by bit.

"Are you here to buy flowers? It seems like you are. You've been staring at that daffodil for so long. Would you like to buy it?"

Ino noticed that girl had a sad expression on her face, "Did I say something wrong?"

"Hey… are you okay?"

The girl broke the thought, "Huh? Oh yeah, I'm all right… heh, heh… Gomen, I'm just here to look around, that's all. I'll come back next time." She walked out from the store.

"Arigatou, come back again!" Ino bowed, "I wonder what's wrong with her? She looks really sad."


-End of flashback-

"That's how it happened. I don't know why she looked so sad, but it seems like she was hurt or something," Ino finished telling her story.

"She does have a point there, but I don't know what she was hurt from. Of course, it had something to do with her birthday too. But why she was staring at a daffodil? That doesn't make any sense…" Kakashi thought.

Then bell rang once again, of course meaning another customer was coming in, "Welcome-Oh hi, Tou-san! Okaeri!" Ino said cheerfully.

Kakashi gazed at the blonde man with a long ponytail just like Ino, "Tadaima, Ino. Oh hi, Kakashi!" He greeted the silver haired man.

"Hi Inoichi."

"What are you doing here? Are you here to deliver a message?" Inoichi asked.

"No, it's not that. I'm just here to ask your daughter if she's seen a light green haired girl that's all. But it seems that I'm out of luck. I don't know where to find her."

"A light green haired girl? Oh that's right, I did see that girl."

"Really? Where! What have you seen her?" Kakashi began to shake Inoichi's shoulder crazily.

"Calm down, I just saw her sitting on the bridge alone. It's kind of snowing right now and-" Kakashi didn't let Inoichi finish his sentence and quickly ran out from the shop.

"What's with him?" He raised his right eyebrow.

"Oh, I don't know Tou-san… maybe love?" Ino giggled.

Inoichi raised his eyebrow, "Kakashi in love? That's very unusual."

"I should have asked Kakashi about that girl… she does look-nah, it can't be. There's no way… It's just my imagination." Inoichi thought.


-Aya's POV-

It was evening; I was sitting down on bridge, looking down at the river carefully. It had turned into an ice because of the cold weather. The wind breezed by, which left me feeling a bit chilly. I guess I should go back home. I stood up and then I heard a shout.

"Misumi!"

Which it frightened me and I slipped, I was falling, "AHHHHH!" I felt a hand grab by my ankle and I was covering my dress, trying not to show my panties.

"Are you okay?" Kakashi asked while holding me.

"Don't look, don't look, don't look!"

"I'm not looking!" Kakashi looked away.

"You'd better not or I won't forgive you!" I pointed at him while my other held my dress.

"Don't you trust me?"

"Forget that! Pull me up, pull me up!"

Kakashi pulled me up, "Boy, you are clumsy to slip like that."

"Hmph!" I looked away crossly.

"Oy, what's with that look?"

"It was your fault that you made me slip and because of that, you saw my panties!"

"I told you I didn't see it!"

"…Are you sure?" I gave him a look as my eyebrow raise.

"Hey, it's not like I'd never seen teddy bears panties before." His head moved to the left.

I smacked his head, "Ow!" He cried out, "What did I do now?" He was rubbing his head.

"You baka, how could you look at my panties! You told me that you didn't see! You are the worst liar I've ever met!"

"N-Nani? Are you saying it was really teddy bears?"

"…"

"Wow, I was only guessing too. Hmm, I didn't know a girl like you would wear that. Aren't you too old to wear that?" Kakashi chuckled.

I glared at him angrily. There he go again, he's teasing me! That's it, I'm out of here! I got up quickly and ran away from him, "Hey, where are you going! Come back here!"

Kakashi was chasing after me, "Leave me alone!" I shouted.

"I will not leave you alone!"

"Why are you chasing after me?"

"Because you're running away from me! Now come here!"

"Nooo, leave me alone!"

"No way!"

I ignored Kakashi's yelling; I continued to run without noticing where I was going... until I crashed into big sign, "Itai!" I rubbed my face painfully.

Kakashi stood there, staring at me, "Hahaha, I can't believe you crushed that sign! Naruto may be bad, but you're even worse than Naruto!" His right hand covered his stomach and other hand was pointing at me while he laughed at me.

My face turned bright red. Ah, I can't believe I crashed into that! It was so not cool! Why does it always have to happen to me! I embarrassed myself again... God, I need to get out of here!

I was about to run, but Kakashi grabbed my wrist, "Don't even try to run. You know that I'm a faster runner than you Misumi. We need to talk right now."

"There's nothing to talk about! Now, let me go!" I used my hand to get his hand off of my wrist.

"No."

"Let go!"

"I said no."

"Please let me go, Hatake-san…" I begged him.

"No, not until we talk. Why didn't you want to celebrate your birthday?" He asked.

I didn't reply back to him. I lowered my head, still trying to free my wrist from his hand.

"Misumi, answer my question!"

Still no reply.

He used his hand to lift my head to forced my eyes to meet his one eye, "Misumi, stop being selfish an-"

Kakashi was shocked when he saw me crying.

I dropped my knee to the ground, still crying as I covered my face with my hands. Kakashi kneeled down as well and he wrapped his arms around me. He let me cry into his shoulder and for that I was grateful.

At the park…

It took me awhile to stop crying. I can't believe I cried in front of him. One thing that surprised me was that he had hugged me. I don't know why he even did that - he probably didn't know why I cried either… I guess he was trying to calm me down.

At this moment, we were sitting on a bench; my head lowered and not wanting to meet his eyes, "Misumi, why did you hide from us? Don't you know that our friends were doing something special for your birthday?" Kakashi asked.

I knew it… they were up to something. Making a party and everything. They didn't fall for my excuse. I should have known it!

"I know there's something wrong. You know it's your birthday and you were against it. Tell me why you didn't want to celebrate your birthday?"

No reply.

Then I felt a hand touch my hand and I looked up, "Please Misumi?" He asked politely.

I bit my lip softly, should I tell him?

"Whatever it is, I'm sure it'll help you feel better once you tell me everything. Please tell me." Kakashi offered me help.

I sighed; I guess there's no escaping. My eyes lowered, "…Today is the anniversary of my mother's death…"

Kakashi looked at me in shock, "…It all began when I was 15 years old, my mother was about to head to work…" I started softly.


-Flashback-

"Aya, I'm going to work now! I'll be home at 8' o clock, okay?" My mother slipped her shoes on.

"Umm mom…"

"Hai, sweetie?"

"Aren't you forgetting what today is?" I was rubbing my hands nervously.

"Hmm, I don't know. Am I missing something?" She placed her finger on her cheek, pretending to forget.

I gaped at her in shock, "Mom!"

"Just kidding, just kidding!" She waved, "I know, today is your birthday. Happy Birthday Aya." She smiled.

"Arigatou, but don't scare me like that again, mom!"

"Hehe, I just love to tease you, sweetie. But don't worry - once I come back from work, we'll go celebrate your birthday, okay?"

"All right."

"Oh no! I'm late to work! I should go! Gomen Aya, I have to go, I'll give you your present once I come back okay?" She grabbed her suitcase.

"Okay! Have a nice day!" I bowed.

My mother walked out from the house.

7:30p.m. at night…

I was watching the news to see how the weather was, "Boy, it sure is bad weather this evening." I stared out the window.

It was raining hard outside now and that was weird. It shouldn't be raining now. It should have been snowing since it was December. But why was it raining then? I don't get it.

RING, RING, RING!

I rushed to the kitchen and picked up the phone, "Moushi, Moushi, Misumi's residence."

"Aya, it's me!"

"Mom? What's up?"

"I'm just letting you know that I'll be home in 30 minutes."

"Really, that early? It's only 7:30. Aren't you going to get in trouble for leaving early?"

"Don't worry, the boss released me early. I'll be home soon; I need to wait for the bus. So, be ready when I get there okay?"

"Okay, mom!"

"Oh one more thing, sweetie… I have to tell you something."

"Something? About what?"

"I can't explain everything. I'll tell you when I get there." My mother said in serious tone.

"Um… all right. I'll wait until you get here." Why did my mother sound so serious?

"I'll see you in a bit."

"Hai, see ya later!"

"Aya?"

"Hm?"

"I love you Angel…" She said softly.

"I love you too, mom." I hung up the phone, "I wonder what my mom is going to tell me? Is it really important? Must be… I need to get ready now!"

Two hours later…

"How strange, my mom should be here already. Why is she so late?" I looked at my watch, began to worry.

I got the bad feeling that something happen to my mother.

RING, RING, RING!

I picked up the phone and then answered, "Moushi, Moushi, Misumi's residence."

"Hello, I'm looking for Misumi Aya."

"Hai, this is she."

"Miss Misumi, I have bad news…"

"Bad news? What kind of bad news?" I asked curiously.

"It's about your mother…"

"My mom? Is something wrong with her?"

"Well, she's…"

I dropped the phone in shock after I heard the news and I ran out of the house. I ran through the rain blindly. Tell me it wasn't true! No! My mother is…is… Please, tell me this wasn't happen!

After I got to the hospital, I ran to the counter and asked one of the nurses for the room number. The nurse told me and I quickly took the elevator. When the elevator opened, I was running down the hallway, looking for the room number.

Once I found it, I opened the door and saw the doctor and nurses around my mother. My mother was on the bed… They told me that my mother had gotten into a car accident. She was badly injured. My mother was wrapped in many bandages.

I walked in slowly, "Mom…"

The doctor walked towards me and asked, "You are…?"

"I'm Misumi Aya, her daughter. Is my mom going to be all right?" I prayed internally.

He looked away which me the notion that something bad was going to happen. I stared at him, stunned, "No… Don't tell me…"

He didn't say anything.

"No! It can't be true, Doctor! You're lying, right?" I yelled.

The doctor shook his head, "Gomen nasai… We tried our best… but she's gone… Gomen…"

"Nooo! Mom! Please don't leave me! Wake up! Please wake up! Open your eyes… I beg you… Mom… Please…" I screamed as held her hand firmly.

"Miss Misumi… She's gone… Please… It's time, you have to say good bye to your mother…" the doctor slowly whispered, putting his hand on my shoulder.

I cried loudly, "Mom… you promised that you wouldn't leave me alone… You said you wouldn't die… Why Mom, Why mom!"

The nurse covered my mother's body with a blanket. Pretty soon, they took my mom. I continued to cry in the empty hallway. I could hear my very own cries echoing in the dark hallway.

An hour past…

I was still in the hospital, I was too scared to go back home - I would be alone. There was no need to go back home now… The house would be empty without my mother.

This is the worse birthday of my life. I can't believe my mother died… She promised that she wouldn't leave me alone or die until we meet my father together, but now she's dead. I lost my mother… I have no one else to live for. Why does this have to happen? I clenched my fist tightly together. God, I hate my life!

"Miss Misumi?" A voice called.

I looked up to see who was calling me; it was a nurse, "I'm very sorry about your mother. But we found something on her purse." She took it out from her pocket.

It was small box that was wrapped in red. She handed it to me, "I think your mother wanted to give you this."

She bowed and walked away.

I stared at the present; it had a card that was tape on it. I held onto the card momentarily, tore it, and began to read. It said:

Happy Birthday, my sweet Aya! Please treasure them; it's very important to me.

P.S. - Never forget that I'll always love you.

Love always,

Your mother

I quickly ripped the wrapping and opened it. I took it out; it was gold locket. I checked the inside the locket and saw the picture of my mother when she was younger. My mother looked so young in this picture; I wonder how old she was in this picture? I saw a ruby ring beside the locket.

"Mom…" I hugged the locket tightly, my tears starting anew…


-End of flashback—

"That how it happened…" I finished telling him my story.

"Misumi…"

"…I'm so mad… Why did it have to happen? My mom was about to tell me something important! Who knows what my mom was going to tell me… I'll never know what she was going to tell me." I was clenching fists on my dress, feeling angry and I wanted to cry too.

A hand touched my hand and of course, it was Kakashi.

I stared at him, knowing that my eyes were filled with tears, "Misumi, I'm sorry to hear about your mother's death. I didn't know that she died on your birthday. It must've been a really hard life for you. I could see why you didn't want to celebrate your birthday."

I nodded. That was my reason why I didn't want to celebrate. I guess you could say that it brought bad memories back.

"But it doesn't mean you can't celebrate it."

I looked him in surprise, "I don't think that your mother would like to see you crying on your birthday because of her. I'm sure it probably would make her sad if you don't do anything special on your birthday."

"I don't care. I don't want to do anything on my birthday." I said grimly.

"Yes, you do."

"No, I don't!"

"Misumi, I already know that you do care and don't think that I don't understand how you feel. Losing someone is really painful."

"How do you know? It's not like you've lost someone before. You don't know how it feels like losing someone you love! I'm sure your family must have been there on your birthday every year."

"Who said they're alive?"

I gave him a surprised looks, "Don't tell me they're-"

Kakashi didn't bother me to finish my sentence, "The people who I love are dead." He gave me a slow eye smile.

I felt really bad, "Gomen nasai…"

"Don't worry, we're not very lucky people, but it doesn't mean we've lost our hope. You should know that you're not alone because you still have friends." He looked up to stare at the stars.

I gazed at Kakashi, now I understood why. He seems to want to let me know that I'm not alone. I guess there are lots of people who have lost their dear ones. I remember one time; Iruka told me that he had lost his parents since he was young. He had to live painfully through life and had been alone. But not anymore, after having friends. He was happy and continued to enjoy his life.

Look at me, I'm very selfish and stubborn, I hadn't cared about anything except myself. Of course, I had been alone all my life. My mother was a very kind person and was always there for me. But now, she was gone. All the time, I think of giving up on my life.

But I didn't and after coming here to this world, I made lots of new friends. I never knew that things had changed so much since I've been here; I was able to open my heart and able to tell people about my problems. Maybe Kakashi was the only one who had changed me, not only had he was always there all the time, he was quite an enjoyable guy to be around. I guess it was weird.

I mean, I always thought of him as a jerk and a hentai too. But I think I understand him a little bit, he truly is a nice person. After hearing him saying that his family is dead, I knew he was in the same pain as me. That's why he understands me.

"Can I ask you one last question?"

"Hai?"

"This girl from Yamanaka Flower Shop told me that you were looking at a daffodil for so long. Why is that?"

Tears dropped on my hand after Kakashi reminded me of that flower, "Ah, I mean. You don't have to answer that question, if you don't want to." Kakashi panicked after seeing me cry again.

"No, it's okay..." I wiped the tears off with the back of my hands, "The truth is those were my mom's favorite flowers. When I looked at the daffodil, it brought memories of my mom. It was good to remember, but was also bad too. It made me sad; I miss my mom so much."

"I'm sure you do." Kakashi slid his arm around my shoulder to make me feel better.

"Arigatou… Thanks for listening to me. You really made me feel better." I stood up.

He stood up as well, handing me a blue handkerchief, "You're welcome. Wipe your tears; I don't like seeing you cry. It's kind of making me feel uncomfortable."

I wiped my tears, "Gomen, I didn't mean to cry."

"It's okay. Let's forget about it. Let's go home now but before we do that, I have something to give you." He said.

"What is it?"

"A present."

"Present? What could it be?" I wondered.

Kakashi was scratching his ear; close to the edge of his mask. Oh my god, don't tell me that he's…

"You're going to show me your face!" I asked excitedly.

"Um, no. You wish." Kakashi chuckled.

I was very disappointed. Bummer, I thought he was going to show it, but noooo, I was wrong! That sucks, he must like to be mysterious person.

"Here." He handed me a small box that was neatly wrapped in light blue wrapping paper.

I tore off the light blue paper. I was surprised; the gift that Kakashi bought me was a small brown music box.

Kakashi smiled at me, "I know that you always wanted to get that music box. Happy Birthday, Misumi."

"How did you know that I wanted it?" I asked.

"Um… actually, I didn't know. Maybe I was only guessing. Yeah, that's it, heh, heh…" He laughed nervously.

"Could it be that you were spying on me?" I looked at him suspicious.

"Nooo… what makes you think that I would do that?" Kakashi pretended to act innocent.

He's lying, I could tell. He did spy on me! Well, that doesn't matter, Kakashi did buy me present. It was a wonderful gift. I'll treasure it forever.

"Arigatou, Hatake-san."

He smiled, "Let's go home now."

We went back to our apartment.

Apartment…

When Kakashi opened the door, it was dark inside. I already knew that they were going to surprise me once the light was on. Of course, I walked inside and turned on the light.

"Surprise!" Everyone shouted.

I pretended that I was in shock, "Ohhhh!" Everyone was there even including Kakashi's students.

"Happy birthday, Aya. I know you must be mad that we planned this even though you didn't want to celebrate your birthday, but we still wanted to do-" I interrupted Kurenai.

"It's okay, I'm not mad. I'm very grateful for your generous ideas."

"You're not mad?"

I shook my head, "Of course not. Why would I be mad? You guys wanted to me enjoy the party. I'd really appreciative it. Thank you, minna!"

"Now that everything is settled, LET'S PARTY!" Gai raised a cup into the air.

Everyone agreed.

The party began and everyone started to party. You know what party is like: dancing, drinking, singing, and etc…

I had a great time; I guess Kakashi was right. I should enjoy my life. I'll never forget about this. This will be the best memories of being with my new friends I've ever had.

Presents time…

I already opened many presents. Most of the gifts were good and some were bad. How bad? For example, Naruto gave me a box of ramen. Sakura smacked him for not giving me a better one. She had shouted at him for being inconsiderate.

But I didn't mind. Naruto did try his best, I'm sure he'd never bought a present before. It wasn't that bad. Not as bad like Gai… he gave me a worse one. Do you want to know? You asked for it, it was a pink outfit that was the same as his. He told me that I should wear it sometime. I just nodded slowly. Everyone knows that I wouldn't want to wear it.

Everyone else gave me books, earrings, a sweater, roses, a bracelet, gloves, etc…

The only two presents left were Iruka's and Genma's.

First, I opened Iruka's gift. When I tore the paper and opened it, it was purple butterfly hair clip.

"Arigatou, Iruka-san." I gave him a smile.

"You're welcome." Iruka smiled.

The last one was Genma's, I wondered what could it be, "You're going to love it." Genma said.

I giggled, after I opened it. My face turned blue, "Aya-hime, are you okay?"

Kakashi stared the present and realized, "Oh no…"

Even Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura stared at the present as well, "Here we go again."

"AHHHHHH!" I screamed loudly as I dropped the present. I jumped off the couch and hugged Kakashi tightly around his neck.

"What's wrong with her?" Anko asked.

"I don't know. She just screamed all the sudden." Asuma said.

"Is something wrong?" Hayate coughed.

Kakashi waved, "Don't worry. Misumi just got scared that's all."

"What do you mean?" Gai asked.

"Yeah, what do you mean?" Kurenai asked too.

"Well…"

"Hehe, Misumi-san is scared of that present." Sakura answered it.

"Scared?" Everyone said together except for Sasuke and Naruto.

"Yeah, that present." Naruto pointed at the present.

Everyone looked at the present; it was stuffed doll ladybug. Everyone stared at me as I was still hugging Kakashi.

"Could it be that Aya is afraid of bugs?" Yuugao asked.

Sasuke snorted as he crossed his arms, "Duh."

Genma picked up the doll, "Aya-hime, this isn't a real bug. It's just a stuffed doll."

"Stuffed doll? Are you sure it's not real?" I asked nervously.

"Hai, I didn't know you're afraid of bugs. But I could tell why you went after Kakashi. You must be enjoying hugging him." He gave me a sly look.

I blushed and quickly let go of him, "No, I don't… Are you sure it's not alive?"

"It's not alive. Come on and touch it."

I stared at that ladybug, it wasn't moving, but it looked like it was alive. I gulped, getting closer to touch it. After I touch it, I found it was really soft. I guess I was silly. Why would I think it was a real bug? How stupid of me. Suddenly…

"Oh no, Misumi! What have you done!" Kakashi shouted.

"Nani, nani! What did I do?" Still, touching the ladybug doll.

"I can't believe what you did. Now you've done it!" He touched his forehead with his hand.

"What do you mean?" I was confused.

"Because you touched that ladybug, it's going to be brought back alive!"

"Nani? That can't be true!" I took a step backward.

"It's true! It's going to be awake any second!"

"What am I going to do, what am I going to do now?" I panicked and bit my nails as well.

Everyone sweat dropped.

"It's even worse that you touched it. Look at your hand now!"

"What's wrong with my hand?" I stared at my hand.

Kakashi leaned closer to my ears and whispered, "In case you don't know, if you touch the ladybug, you're going to be cursed."

"I'm going to be cursed…"

"Hai, that's right. The curse you're getting is that you're going to be turned into a bug."

This time, my face was completely blue. My head began to feel dizzy and I passed out.

"Aya-chan!" Iruka kneeled down and checked on me. Even Kurenai and Yuugao checked me as well.

"Oops… did I go too far?" Kakashi rubbed his silver haired while laughing nervously.

"Of course, you did! It's even worse that she fainted!" Sakura and Naruto shouted at their sensei as they pointed at him.

"That girl is stupid. How could she fall for it? Idiot…" Sasuke mumbled.

There you have it, the first time of my life that I had a fun on my birthday, except well… you know.
