"Thank you, Oto-san," you thanked while your hands are now holding the soft silky fabric. It is a kimono, you know it after giving it a glance before turning your gaze to your father. A beautiful soft purple with some camellias flower weaving in it which makes it so beautiful.

"Do you like it, (y/n)?"

You looked at the source of the voice from your father's shoulder and smile at him. "It's so beautiful, Oji-san."

He smiled and walked to you, "See, Kakashi. You forgot about the obi and these kanzashi." Your grandfather said as he hands you the said items.

"These are your grandmother's, (y/n). There's no other girls in the family so there is no one that I can pass these for..." Your grandfather added as he glanced at one of his wife's photo which is exactly wearing the kimono that is in your hands at the moment. He must be missing her so much.

"Thank you so much, Oji-san, Oto-san for entrusting me with these valuable things...I will take a good care of them. I promise." You said, smiling at them with your eyes closed.

"Actually there is more. Rena loves to wear kimono the whole time..." Your grandfather added as he keep remembering about his late wife. Hatake Rena.

"Rena...the name that carries the beautiful meaning, reborn..." Your father continue while taking one of the photo of his mother in his hand. That beautiful woman really looks like you, you're like a reincarnation of her, from your silky (h/c) locks, those shinning pair of (e/c) orbs, your looks and even your personality is so similar to how his father usually described about his mother to him when he's younger.

He ruffles your hair and smiled at you. "Get ready quick, my daughter. Itachi will be here any minute now..." He said as he leave you from the room and walked to meet with his father who is sorting some old stuff from his wardrobe.

"Cleaning, To-san?" He asked while leaning at the door frame with his hands crossed in front of his chest.

His father smiled and gestures a sign for him to take some of the stuff. "Give them to your daughter. They are old but still in good conditions."

"Are you sure, To-san? Maybe, you want some of these as memoirs of Oka-san..." The son said his mind out.

"All I need is a photo of Rena and I'm good, son. Plus, this old man will never last long too..." He said while massaging his own left shoulder which felt stiff out of sudden. But then, he just let it be. It's normal for an old man like him by the way.

"Okay if you say so..." Kakashi shrugged while fixing the folded cloths into a perfect shape.

"Are you gonna do the usual, Kakashi? And maybe...with (y/n) too?" The older Hatake asked.

"I guess...maybe I can do that since...it's been a long time I didn't write anything for Oka-san. And about my daughter... she's going out with a friend tonight."

"The raven boy?"

"Yes, Itachi is his name."

"I see...that boy is a well-mannered one. I can see that (y/n) is kinda have some kind of attached to him too..." The father said to his son while taking out a bottle of sake that he kept in his wardrobe.

"Well...I don't think she's in a good age for that kind of thing, To-san. It's way too early. She still needs to learn more about life..." Kakashi said as he take the empty glass that his father offered to him. Then, the both of them filled two empty glasses with the sake.

"We don't really need to learn about life, son...life is the one will offer us something. Just wait and see..." The old man raised his glass and hit his glass with the younger one. "For our reunion."

"For our reunion." Kakashi replied as the both of them drank the sake in one chug. "Just wait and see, huh... That's why the present is the most beautiful moment, right?"

"You got the idea, son." Sakumo replied as he pour another cup for him. "How about her ambitions? Does she wants to become a doctor too like how eager you were, Kakashi?"

Kakashi chuckled at this. "Life is sure is funny. I planned my life to become an expert doctor but...well, who knows what happened on the road, huh... That's why I never pushed (y/n) for having a dream like me, To-san...I don't want her to be sad if life turns upside down on her..."

"Kakashi, are you drunk after one just glass? Are you saying that you regret about your life for not achieving your dreams? You regret for having a good child like (y/n)? Are you nuts?!" Sakumo asked his son with a slightly high pitch which is pure sign that he's not happy to hear that from his son.

"Of course I am, To-san...I mean, who would want to become a single parent when you're still 18? I have a bright future too ahead me but... it's all gone just like that because (y/n) to as born. I didn't even attend my graduation day at my high school because of the baby..." He replied with a chuckle.

At the same time, you accidentally eavesdropping the men's talking as you want to meet with them but to just walk in while they're still chatting, it's rude. Your heart broken into pieces after hearing all the confession from your own father, the man who gave you life, who raised you with love and the man who showered you with an unconditional love. But, it's seems that just an act out if pity. Of course, why not? He just felt sorry to you, that's why he take care of you since that day you were born...you looked at the pendant that he gave you...this means nothing. He wants to give it to your mother but she left him, and then, he just give it away to you because he doesn't have anyone else to give it to. It is a hard truth but it is something that makes sense...

You get up and ran out of the house, didn't purposely slammed the door but, who cares now. You get out of there and again, you bumped into someone. You looked up to see him, Itachi. You don't know why but your tears immediately stream down your face like waterfalls when you saw him. You covered your face but Itachi already noticed them.

"(y/n), w-what happened?" The panic Uchiha asked as he saw you plopped yourself on the ground still crying your eyes out of the sudden. He brace himself to pulled you up and it works, he pulled you by your clothed arm while wipe your tears away with your fingers.

"N-Nothing. We should go." You said as you pulled Itachi's hand in yours and walked away with to the festival site. You didn't even bother about his allergic anymore by now, the only thing for now is you want to forget about what you heard first.

"Oi, Kakashi...what are you talking about?" His father's voice is stern and strict voicing him.

"...but, who said that I regret for having that kind of life? I mean, I got something even big than what I loss that day. My life changed from a stressful packed student life into full of happiness life as a father. I used to feel alone in my apartment but when she arrives, I never know what is loneliness anymore. I feel my life is blessed with her crying and and her cute laughing. I never felt like I was needed that much when she keep holding onto my fingers with her strong grip whenever I tried to go away from her, it's like... she's telling me to don't forget about her and as a reminder for myself that I have something that means the world to me. (y/n) is technically my life, whenever I'm sad, she could easily sense it, when I'm happy, she will laugh with me, when I'm tired, she will help me with everything she could do and.. when I do something wrong, she will nag at me about it for almost a day...I can't get enough of her nagging for sure...she is, truly an angel that God has sent to me. I'm so grateful that I made that choice to raise her and take care of her instead of chasing for my dreams", he explained as he took another sip of his sake.

"Now I understand. Damn, son, I thought about the opposite just now...sorry for judging without listening first, Kakashi..." The father apologised as he drank another glass of the alcohol.

"I think I'm gonna visit Oka-san's grave first..." Kakashi said as he pick up the glasses and the bottle. Not long after that, the stuffs in his hands slipped from his grip as he heard the front door being slammed very hard. He looked at the floor which is full of shattered glass before he looked out at the door to see your silhouette slowly getting smaller from the door. "(y-y/n)?"

"What is it, Kakashi?"

Kakashi ignored the question and about to chase after you but he stepped on something. He withdraw his foot to look at the necklace that he gave you before. "She must heard about what I said and misunderstood about it..." He whispered to himself but his father who is standing behind him heard it all.

"You should fix this, Kakashi. No matter what, (y/n) will still be your daughter, remember that." His father gestured him before he's the one who cleans up the mess.

"I should go after her-"

"No, son." His father's words make him freeze and looked at his father with confusion. "Let (y/n) cool down first. Perhaps her friend is already here too...let her be first. You should talk to her later when the storm had calmed down." His father reassure him.

"But, what if I messed everything up again?"

"Just tell her with your own words, son. She's your daughter. She knows you best as you're the one who's always by her side all these times..."

Kakashi sighed in defeated. "Fine..."

***

"(y-y/n)...s-slow down!" He said to you with his slightly shivering voice while half enjoying the warmth of your hand and trying to control his allergic at the same time. It seems that he managed to keep it cool for quite some time for now. A good start.

You let out a grunt and let his hand go. "Sorry", you muttered while looking ahead at the sea from your spot. It usually a calming scene for you but now... everything seems not right in front of your right now. You're so irritated right now.

Itachi didn't know what to do for sure but, he just pushed you by your back with his arm gently and lead you to the nearby wall and let you sit there while he take the seat beside you. In front of you is the best sunset scenery that you could see in your life. With the sound of the waves splashing at the sand while the soft breeze gently caressing your smooth skin. It's... peaceful. Your rage had gone away with the breeze while your focus is just at the sunset. "Beautiful..." You muttered with a smile.

"I know. We just got lucky." He said as he is enjoying the view too, while taking some glances at your face before he quickly looked away, afraid that you will notice it

"Thank you." You muttered, still enjoying the sunset in front of you. You finally feel at ease, you should take it easy about this. You realised it is so immature of you to just run away and cried your eyes out, you're like a child...a spoiled one. You closed your eyes and let out a rough sigh, what a long day...

"You know, when I'm in a mess, I usually will listen to this soft music that I have in my phone. It helps me relax..." Itachi told you while taking out phone, plug in one of the earphone to his right ear and clicked the play button to start the relaxing music. He smiled and looked at you, offering the other earphone to you.

You take it and plug it in your left ear as you shifted your sitting place and moved closer to him. You closed your eyes and enjoy the relaxing piano music. With your free ear listening to the sea breeze and the soft sound of the wave sweeping at the sandy beach...it gave you the fine feeling again. You calmed down as your raging fire cool down as it is now replace with your usual cool and joy self.

"(y/n)..." Itachi called you softly.

You looked at your side to face him. "Yes? What is it, Itachi-kun?"

"I just want you to know that I-uh... I'm here if you have something to tell...I mean, if I can't help you with your problems, maybe I can give you some advices and...you know...be with you until everything is settled down." Itachi said while locking his gaze with your's.

You smiled at him. "It means a lot to me. Thank you, Itachi-kun..." You said to him as you realised it's already dark and the festival site is now lighting up the night with colourful lights. "I think we should enjoy the festival for now." You spoke and get up with Itachi.

"It's crowded...and I can't really hold your hand so...you can hold onto my yukata's sleeve so we won't get separated from each other..." Itachi explained while removing some strands of his hair out of his face.

"I'll do that." You said, you really can't stop smiling whenever you're with him. This guy, he gives you some different aura, a positive one. It makes you love spending time with him...being just the two of you felt better too. He just know how to ease the burning rage and know when to laugh with you. It is not the side that you ever think that he has, well he's the cool Uchiha Itachi to start with...

You hold onto his sleeve and the both of you started to walk there together. Like Itachi had predicted, it's just so crowded. "Wanna get something to eat?" Itachi asked with a slightly high pitch to overcome the loud noises that surrounding the both of you.

"Sure. Let's find something to eat. I'm actually hungry right now..." You stated with soft giggle which you covered with the sleeve of your kimono.

Itachi smiled and lead the way to find the shop that sell some food for the both of you. He's actually in the same shoes as you, he didn't eat anything yet while he's with Shisui as his cousin in was kind of busy with his laptop. Maybe he got a lot of assignments to do that due tomorrow.

"Let's go in there." You said while pointing to the small restaurant five steps away from you two which Itachi agreed and went there with you. "I bet they have dango here..." You said, teasing the Uchiha.

"If they don't, we'll go to another shop." Itachi replied with his signature smirk.
