Chapter 3
The next day I was a wreck, mostly because I needed to apologize to Mr. Hatake and at the same time trying to figure out how to turn him down. I was dressed in jeans and a black long sleeved shirt. I was brushing my hair and paused when my cell phone rang. I walked over to it and saw Haku phoning me. "Finally" I said putting him on speaker, as Haku sighed. "So I take it your turning him down" said Haku, as I was putting my hair into a ponytail. "Might I remind you he's an adult" I said "and your what an imp?" asked Haku, as I growled. "Rei, get your mind out of the gutter and start dating already" said Haku, as I sighed and lowered my head. "Yeah alright" I said, as Haku sighed this time. "Just be yourself" said Haku, as I heard him hang up his phone line. I got ready for the big meeting if the TV drama, grabbing my phone and purse in the process. I walked to the bus stop after locking as well as leaving my apartment. I soon saw my editor tapping her foot with her arms crossed. "Your ten minutes late" she said, as I stopped and looked at the time on my clock reading: 7:40. If anything I was twenty minutes early and then I stopped. I then growled. That bitch Tara told me the wrong time on purpose. "Sorry" I said, as my editor pulled on my arm towards her car. There was nothing much I could say. My editor is getting tired of me and if I told her the truth it's not like anything would change. She pushed me into her car and started driving. Once she started driving us, my editor was complaining about me again. I stayed quiet and in a matter of moments we were at the studio. I got out of my editor's car and closed the car door behind me. I then paused when my editor walked up to me. "Not one word from you, no snide remarks, and above all no rude behavior" said my editor, as I stayed quiet and followed her inside the studio. As we entered the set everyone was running around and looking for different things and people. "QUIET ON THE SET" shouted the director, as everyone stopped and looked at the set. I paused and looked at the scene that was trying to come to life before me. There was a beautiful woman crying and slowly walking towards the couch and sitting on the couch was a gorgeous man in a tuxedo.
"How could you do this?" she cried, as he was smirking and glancing towards her. "Cause my dear sister you did the same thing to me. Why not have a little revenge of my own?" he asked, as my eyes widened as she slapped his face. I then sighed when hearing a familiar voice. "HOW DARE YOU SLAP ITACHI, YOU BITCH" shouted Tara, as the director growled. "CUT" he shouted, as the director got up and walked towards my editor. "Mind keeping your clients quiet, we brought you here for observation not to give your opinion of my show" he said, as my editor bowed her head and went running off towards Tara. "Alright people back in fifteen" he said, as everyone but me sighed. I watched as the others walked away and I slowly walked towards the set. I slowly just kept looking at everything. "You know you can get into trouble being on the set when your not suppose to" said a voice, as I stopped and looked behind me. There he was standing behind me... Itachi Uchiha. I didn't know much of his work, but I have seen him in some modelling magazines. "Apologizes" I said, as he smirked. "I'm just pulling your leg, don't worry" he said, as I nodded while staying quiet. "What? Cat caught your tongue?" he asked, as I turned my head a bit. "I'm... not much for conversation" I said, as he chuckled and I glanced at him. "Neither am I" he said, as I nodded. I then paused, when he took a step towards me. "I'm Itachi Uchiha" he said "I know" I said, as he chuckled again. "Yeah I suppose you do" he said, as I put my hands behind my back. "And you?" he asked, as I sighed. "Rei... Rei "Atsuna" we both said at the same time. I stopped and saw his eyes widened. "Uh, yeah" I said, as he chuckled. "I'm... a big fan" he said, as I raised an eyebrow. A Fan? Of me? Why are people a fan of me lately? Is my work really inspiring? "T-thanks" I said really unsure about his comment.
"ALRIGHT PEOPLE FROM THE TOP" shouted the director, as we both looked at him and I smiled. "Good luck" I said, as he smirked. I walked off the set and watched from behind the camera. "What was that?" whispered my editor, as I glanced at her narrowing her eyes at me. "Nothing" I whispered back, as my editor growled in her throat. "QUIET ON THE SET" shouted the director, as I looked at the scene playing out before me. The crying woman then grabbed onto Itachi's collar. "Why brother? Why?" she begged looking into his eyes. "Because you never gave anyone a chance but yourself" he said, as I stopped and a flash of a scene in my manga came into my mind. It was the scene where the hero was about to die by the villains hands. While the villain was on the verge of death from a disease running it's course. That's where this scene came from. That is what Kakashi Hatake was copying. I then blinked a few times as the woman bent down on her knees and cried tears on Itachi's shoes. "You could have told me" she whimpered, as Itachi closed his eyes and looked off in the distance. "And leave you with a satisfaction of mercy and empathy. Those are gifts meant for people worthy and sister we are anything but" he said walking out the door. "CUT" shouted the director, as I took a deep breath and felt my hand shaking. It might have not been the romance I thought it was but at the time it was something I wouldn't mind watching again. I sighed deeply. I really needed to apologize to Mr. Hatake. When our observing was over, I walked out of the studio and looked at my cell phone reading: 3:45 pm. I was walking towards the bus stop and stood there waiting for the bus to come. "REI" shouted Tara, as I growled while closing my eyes. "What?" I asked, as I paused seeing her eyes sparkle. "Wasn't he fantastic?" she asked, as I glanced away from her. "Sure... whatever" I said, as she puffed her cheeks. "By the way, I hope your editor wasn't too mad at you this morning" she gloated, as I growled. I knew it. I got on the bus and got off at my stop. I waited for her to leave and finally when she did, I was slowly walking towards Mr. Hatake's apartment. I pressed the intercom. "It's Rei Atsuna, I wanted to speak with you" I said, as I waited for the door to buzz. As it did, I made my way towards the elevator and made my way to the apartment 1514. I knocked on the door and waited, but no answer. "Hello?" I asked, as I then jumped when Kakashi opened the door half asleep. "So... it was you" he said, as I tilted my head. I shook my head and then bowed. "I'm sorry" I said, as he raised an eyebrow towards me. "Sorry?" he questioned, as I looked up at him. "About... yesterday" I said, as he blinked a few times. "You mean the questions?" he asked, as I blushed a bit from embarrassment and avoided eye contact. He then smirked and rubbed the top of my head. I blushed more and he smiled softly. "How about we start over? Want some jelly? I'm afraid we only have coffee though" he said, as my eyes sparkled. "I don't mind" I said instantly, as he looked at me a bit surprised and then smiled. "Come on in" he said, as I slowly walked in and took off my shoes. Once I did Kakashi closed the door behind me and walked towards the kitchen. I sat at the dining room table and he placed the coffee jelly in front of me. I smiled and took a spoonful to my mouth. It was one of the best coffee jellies I've tasted yet. I then blushed when he chuckled looking at me while resting his chin to his hand. "I'd say you've loved coffee jelly more than anything" he said, as I lowered my head. I gulped down the jelly and looked up at him. "I... went to go see the TV drama at the studio" I said, as Kakashi paused and then raised an eyebrow. "Oh?" he questioned, as I paused for a moment. "That scene where the brother and the sister fight... it was the scene from my Deathly Future Manga. When the hero and villain both die" I said, as Kakashi smirked. "Yes it was, I'm surprised you caught that, I mixed up the words and outcome" he said, as I smiled. "It came to me when I saw the outcome live" I said, as he chuckled. "Why are you here?" he asked, as I paused and looked down at my coffee jelly. "My friend... told me what I had done and I felt stupid. I don't really trust a lot of people and as a result I freaked out and on you no less" I said, as Kakashi smiled. "Rei... would you like to go on a date?" he asked, as I stopped and looked at him shocked. Before long Haku's words came into my mind. "Your not a child and if anything this could really help in your own manga experience as well, draw a new story" I then slowly nodded my head. He smiled and stood up. I then blushed when he kissed my forehead. "I'll give you my number and you tell me what time and where. I hope to at least have this date tomorrow" he said, as I nodded my head again. I walked out of his apartment with his number in my hands and then sighed leaning my back against the apartment door entrance. What the hell did I just do? On my way home I paused when Haku phoned me on my cell. "What did you make me do?" I asked, as Haku sighed. "Rei calm down and talk to me" he said, as I explained everything that happened with Kakashi. "That's great" he said, as I growled. "No it's not. How am I suppose to act?" I asked, as Haku sighed again. "Rei, do I need to remind you of your past assholes?" he asked, as I stopped and lowered my head. "No" I said, as there was a pause. "Rei, just be nice. Act yourself and be honest. If it was meant to be it was meant to be" he said hanging up, as I sighed and went home. Yup, officially tired.
Meanwhile Kakashi smirked looking at Rei walking down the street making sure she was okay. He then paused and looked at his door when the key was unlocking the lock. He then saw his roommate Itachi Uchiha walk in. "Your back" said Kakashi, as Itachi sighed. "Yeah with tons of annoyances along the way" said Itachi loosing his tie and taking off his shoes. "Oh? Too many fans?" asked Kakashi, as Itachi narrowed his eyes. "Don't" he said, as Kakashi smirked and watched Itachi sit back on his couch. "Well I have good news" said Kakashi, as Itachi eyed him. "Oh? Better than yesterday?" asked Itachi, as Kakashi growled this time. "I have a date" said Kakashi, as Itachi stopped and looked at Kakashi surprised. "Really? That's shocking" said Itachi, as Kakashi narrowed his eyes. "Very funny" said Kakashi sarcastically, as Itachi smirked. "Alright, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, but I did have something good happen today" said Itachi, as Kakashi raised an eyebrow. "Oh?" asked Kakashi, as Itachi smirked taking off his tuxedo jacket. "The director actually brought one of my mentors onto the set. I didn't expect her to be so down to earth though" said Itachi, as Kakashi smirked. "Is that right? Which one?" asked Kakashi, as they both stopped when the home phone rang. "And that would be the parents" said Kakashi, as Itachi sighed and walked over to the home phone. Kakashi then paused when his cell rang. He looked seeing a text message from Rei. 'Tomorrow at twelve. The Deer Cafe' He then smirked looking at his phone. "From your date?" asked Itachi, as Kakashi glanced at Itachi sitting back on the couch. "Yeah a lunch date apparently" said Kakashi, as Itachi smirked. "Well then she might be socially awkward" said Itachi, as Kakashi sighed. "Knock it off, your sounding more and more like your cousin" said Kakashi walking into his room causing Itachi to growl.
