Chapter 19
With the fact your father bought you those clothes that you were imagining yourself in it...he get them all for you. The navy blue midi skirt, black mini blouse with summer sleeves, white midi dress with some baby blues flower at the belt, beige skirt and the dusty silver tank top and a pair of black sneakers with some colorful doodles at it side. You felt so happy but guilty at the same time. This things must cost him a lot.
"Sorry..."
He was so shocked to hear an apology from you, for what exactly? "What for?"
"Not you, To-san. Your wallet! Poor your wallet..." You said sarcastically.
He just smile at you, he prepared 'some' savings just for you since he was in that yakuza gang. He's from a small village but he wants you to feel comfortable, no. More than that, he wants to give you anything you want but you never really ask for anything. He saved tons of penny for you, his one and only princess but he won't tell you for sure. "You like them? I bought them because I think they will look very good in you, and the shoes, I got the size right, I think..." He said with a nervous chuckle.
You facepalm but then form a smile and give him a hug with a short 'thank you' which contains a lot of appreciation in your voice. He always like this, he wants to spoil you as much as he can and he will always do that.
After that, you take a shower but the scene from the mall just now came back to evade your mind. You quickly got out and and put your clothes on and looked at the kitchen to see your father is cooking there. You smile, you're completely safe when you're with him. He will always safe you and he will always do.
You walked up to him and offered him your help but he refused, he asked you to pack your things instead. You also told him that let you settle his things too and he agreed with that as he's not so good with that. After you're done with your bag, you head to his room but he already called you for dinner.
You just went downstairs first as you're starving right now and food is your top priority right at the moment. He cooked exactly the menu you listed to him which looks so delicious. Well, his things can be settled after this and you might need him to choose for his clothes as well.

"(y/n), you start the engine first. I will take a look if there's anything to be done in the house first, okay?"
"Okay." You answered as you went out and do what he said to you.
While you doing that, he went upstairs and opened the door to his room. He walked to his closet and took the key to the small drawer that he hid under his stacks of undies and unlock the drawer as he opened it. He took the small black box and opened it, he smiles, "I planned to give this to the girl I loves so much..." He then shoves the box in his pocket and his eyes caught of a glimpse of the other black thing, he take it out and check to see if it's loaded. Full. He might need this later. He put the gun at his right side of his waist and covered it with his shirt. "It's for a safety need..." He said as he made a quick check around the house and quickly made his way to the car.
You already opened the gate for the car to get out and he understands that, he drove out of the porch, wait for you to lock the door and enter the passenger seat next to him.
"You got everything you need, right?" He asked.
"If I left something behind...let's just pretend that it never existed in the first place..."
"Sure, I can do that." He shook his head and his eyes already on the road and his foot now pressing the pedal and your trip to Tokyo starts. It was so dark, you looked at the time, 1.30am. you're still active by the way because you've been sleeping for five hours during the day. You already entered the highway and there are barely any cars on the road, only your's right now.
"You can sleep if you wanted to." You father said.
"Nope. I'm going to accompany you until we get there." You said as you keep chatting with him to make sure he's not sleepy. He surely talks a lot about his life when he's young at Kyoto. You got to know that your grandfather owned a dojo and that's explained why your father is too good in martial arts. It's in the blood, is what he said.
"Can I join martial arts too, To-san?"
"No. You're a girl and I don't want my daughter to grow up being a tomboy." He said flatly but you could still sense his sternly stated when he said 'no'.
You pouted, "It has nothing to do with that, To-san..."
"You're a girl, (y/n). I'm glad that you're now a sweet maiden, not like those boyish boy and those who love to show off their skin like it was nothing... I mean, don't they feel cold when they wear mini skirts with their uniform, especially during the cold season?"
You laughed at his sarcastic statement. He's right, there's surely a lot of other girls who prefer to shorten their skirt and show off their thigh at school. Your skirts are just slightly above your knee and it was so cold when the cold season is here. "Maybe they only have hot receptors or their cold receptors already freeze because of the cold..." You said while eating your still not subsiding laugh.
"That sure is one of a good theory... Say, do you have any ambitions yet?"
You forced a smile at this. You really didn't know about it yet... "Not yet..."
"How about boyfriend?"
You looked at him with a sharp look. Is he teasing you because you're single? He better not. But then, you have a vision of Itachi in your mind while your cheeks feel hot out if sudden. You quickly shook your head, "N-No... or else you're already interrogating him..."
"Oh of course I will do that. I will never let my daughter to date any guys without my permission. He need to pass my interview session first." He added making you chuckled.
"Sassy much..." You said, teasing him.
"No, I'm not."
"There, you do it again, Oto-san."
***
You opened your eyes as you felt the car already stopped moving. You look around, the sun is already up. "Are we here?" You asked as you yawn and closed your eyes again.
"Yeah, we're here. Come on, wake up. We need to get something to eat." He said as he shook you a little and repair your hair.
"Where are we?" You asked again while rubbing off some sleep from your eyes.
"Kyoto. Are you awake now, sleeping beauty?" He asked as he pinched your nose lightly.
You just chuckle and get ready to get out of the car, it sure is tiring while on the road. After your father unlocked the door, you quickly jumped out of the car and finally, get to breath the fresh summer air in Kyoto. In front of you is where the famous food court is. You surely starving and you knew your father is in the same shoes as you. He motioned you to get into the food court and get a table before started to order some food and beverages. After enjoying the food, you sat there with your father to rest for sometime.
"After this, where are we going?" You asked him.
"We're going to check in at the inn that I already book two days ago. We will walk along the street at night later. First, we need to rest." He said as he get up and went to pay for the bill. You looked around, there's not too much people around, it's still early for holiday season by the way.
"(y/n), let's go."
You looked at the source of the voice and quickly get up. "Wait for me!"
After checked in at the inn that your your father told you about, you put away your bag and your father's bag there as you quickly went to the window afterwards. The scenery outside was so beautiful, those green trees looks so fresh with the calm breath taking panorama, this is what you call a break. You heard the door being closed and you looked behind only to see your father who looks exhausted, of course, he has been driving for more twelve hours now. Even your body feels sore and stiff for sitting in the car for too long.
"To-san, you can take a shower first. Let me prepare the futton." You said, offering your help to him.
"I thought you wanna go first." He said as he sat down to take a rest for a minute.
"I think...I want to enjoy this calm scenery first." You answered while looking out the window.
"It sure is beautiful, right? We will stay here for two days and we will move to Miyazu later. There will be a whole different scenery for you, the seaside..." He said as look out at the window too.
"I sure am excited for Miyazu too. And to meet with Oji-san..." You said, trailing your last words off a bit.
You father sighed at this, "I can't guarantee anything about meeting my father, (y/n)...I mean, he's surely a very loving father but-"
"Then, Oji-san must be like you, right? Kind and loving...a very loving father..." You said, smiling at him to ensure that everything is going to be fine.
He smiled at you. "You know, I usually doubt when it's someone else saying like that. But this time, it's you so I trust your words 100 percent, (y/n)."
"You can count on me, Oto-san!"
"Of course I can, my daughter..."
After Kakashi had done, you went into the bathroom and take a nice cold shower while the silverette lie down on his stomach on the futton. He took the gun from his belt and hid it in his bag, it will be bigger trouble if you found out that he brought this thing with him. Then, he remembers about the 'thing' that he wanted to give you. He take the black box out and examine it. "It will surely look beautiful in you, my daughter..."
After a while, you went out of the bathroom with a simple t-shirt and three-quarter shorts. It felt so comfy as you just planning on resting and just lazy around in the room. You then spotted that your father is already asleep in his futton with his phone beside him, vibrating as he rarely put his phone out of the silent mode. You looked over at him and looked so tired that you don't dare to wake him up. Then, you switched your gaze on his phone, an unknown caller. Should you pick it up or...
"Nope. I don't want to. I don't really like phone calls." You stated bluntly and looked for your phone. You plugged it on the charger as the battery is dying and you grabbed your nintendo. You lie down on your stomach while clicking the device skillfully beside your father. He doesn't seem to be disturbed by the clicking sound that you made from your game.
After finishing some quest, your phone rings with your favorite ring tone. You grunt at it, trying to ignore the caller while you just continue with the game but, worried if the sound will disturb your father, you decided to pick it up. Without looking at who the caller is, you just say,
"Hello?"
"Hello, are you busy, (y/n)?"
It's Itachi! You don't really like phone calls but when it comes to Itachi, it makes you feel kinda excited.
"Nope. I just got in Kyoto. How about you, Itachi-kun?"
"I'm currently at Nagoya, my father want me to see how he works at office and all...not so fun. How was Kyoto?"
Itachi in the other side was trying really hard to come up with some other topics so that both of you will never stuck with a long silent. That will be so awkward. And at the same, eager to hear your soothing voice.
"It's so nice! I love the scenery especially! You know, that calming and breathtaking and very quiet... Everything is better than being at Shibuya."
You let out a giggle while remembering how busy the city will be especially on the busy hour. Everyone will be rushing to the train station and the crowd...it was suffocating.
"Your summer break sounds nice. While me...I think I'm gonna stuck with the city for some time. But Shisui invited me to go there. He's enjoying half of his summer break in Kyoto as well."
"What? Shisui-senpai is here? In Kyoto? All by himself?"
"He currently a student at Kyoto University right now. I never told you about that?"
"No. Never. Is he taking something related to the Uchiha family business?"
"No. I told you before, right? He's a rebel one."
Then, you recalled about your conversation with Itachi about this yesterday at the bus stop. Your mind is decaying, perhaps as you don't remember about what happened. Suddenly, you remembered about the pills...
"Um, Itachi-kun. Can I ask you something?"
"Sure."
"Are you sick? I-I mean...I saw a bottle of pill fall from your bag yesterday..."
You asked him with so much care within your voice. You don't want to sound like you're forcing him or accusing him or something like that...
"No. I'm totally fine."
You can sense some anger and annoyed feeling in his voice. Maybe you shouldn't ask him about that, not in the phone.
"Why do you call me, Itachi-kun? Something important or just want to chat?"
"The later."
"I see...it must be very hard for you for following Fugaku-san to work, right?"
"Hn. I can say that is a hard truth...but, when will you come back to Tokyo?"
"Not sure. Maybe next week or two weeks before the school starts...I don't know for sure..."
"Why is that?"
"It's...hard to explain. Something private, sorry..."
"No, it's okay. I don't mind. I respect your privacy room."
"Why do you ask, Itachi-kun?"
"Um...just wondering if you want to join me for..."
Oh no! To where?! He didn't plan this in the first place. What should he tells you? Come on, think, Itachi. Think! Idea, please don't let me down...
"A book festival..."
He was out of ideas as he just blurted out that thing. Is that even logic? He asked a girl to the book festival? Nice one.
"Oh, the one that they do it annually, right? Near Akihabara, right?"
Itachi was shocked as you know about it while he just made that up in his mind. It seems his plan is good. All good.
"Yes! That one! You like it?"
"That annually activity is actually an anime heaven! Manga, figurines, cosplays, everything is in a good price! How can I miss something like that?!"
"I know you like it. I can pick you up to go there. If you want."
"Of course I want, Itachi-kun! I can't wait!"
Then, you heard Itachi's father is calling his name from the phone. It seems this is it.
"I'll call you later then, (y/n). Enjoy your trip."
"Sure. Take care!"
You ended the call and put your phone back at the charger and you went to the futton. You feel so tired and the only thing in your brain is sleeping right now. You lie down on the pillow and close your eyes as the sleep taking you away very fast.
As you already asleep, your father's phone vibrate again but this time, it was a message. The message from the unknown number which said,
"We know where are you at, Kakashi. You can't run or even hide from me."
