Chapter 3:
Realising having a true friend
Kakashi slowly woke up, the sun shone bright in his eyes and he quickly turned to lie on his side.
“Oi sleepyhead, get up!” an enthusiastic voice called
“Go `way, Iruka-kun” he mumbled from underneath his warm blanket
Kakashi was momentarily lying on a mattress next to Iruka's bed. Last night he had called home to tell he was staying over, after they had watched the weather report on the TV, which said that the storm most likely would calm down around midnight.
Flashback:
“You heard them Kakashi” Kurai said in his heavy voice “they say it's not wise to go outside now, I guess you're stuck out here with us then” and he smiled friendly
“But…” he had nothing to argue with, it was true, it indeed was to dangerous to go outside now
“Maybe phone still works, then you can at least let your parents know where you are” Taki suggested
“Uhm okay…” he looked around, saw the phone and walked up to it
He dialled his number an a fastly repeated peep came, indicating that someone was one the phone. He had already thought someone was, so he just spoke up to the peep.
“Hey mom, I think you already noticed, but there's a storm going on” he waited a little as if he was being answered
“No, I'm at Iruka's house, he's a new kid I learned to know recently. We've just watched the forecast and his mother is offering me a dinner and a place to sleep, because it's said that the rain won't stop pouring down before midnight” Kakashi waited before speaking up again
“Yes, I'll tell them and yes, I love you too, bye mom. See you tomorrow!” he laid down the phone and turned
“She's okay with it and wishes to thank you for your hospitality, as so do I” he bowed his head a little
“That's okay, I'm glad to see Iruka makes so fast such good and decent friends” Taki smiled and returned to the kitchen for dinner
End flashback:
“But were gonna have breakfast in only a few minutes” Iruka whined
“So?” Kakashi was more than willing to skip breakfast in order to go to sleep again
“Common tonight you can sleep in your own bed again” and the body that belonged to the voice rolled the poor sleepy boy off his mattress
Bam!
“Leave me alone Iruka-kun” Kakashi growled
“Looks like someone's rolled of the wrong side of his bed this morningggg…” Iruka almost singsong-ed and poked Kakashi's head
“That's not my fault, you just rolled me off yourself” Kakashi snarled
“Your bad at making up excuses Kakashi-kun, now common and let's get some breakfast! I'm starving!” Iruka's stomach confirmed that by growling hard and in its turn Kakashi's stomach growled back
“See! Your hungry too, now get up!” Iruka picked up his pillow and swung it towards Kakashi's head
It hit him and he shoot up, saw what hit him and threw it back to Iruka's head. Iruka caught it just in time, but when he wanted to throw it at his friend again, Kakashi hit him on his head with his own pillow.
“You'll regret that!” Iruka yelled in excitement and began a rapid attack pillow hit's at Kakashi who had turned around and so only got hit on his back
The pillow fight went on quite a while, but slowly came to an end as both boys became tired and went down to finally have breakfast.
After breakfast they watched TV `till noon, had lunch and went out.
“Have you had fun?” Iruka asked Kakashi as they slowly walked towards the playing field, just out of lack to go anywhere else
“Yeah I really enjoyed it, I can't remember the last time I had this much fun!” Kakashi said happily and if he remembered correctly, he really couldn't think of and occasion where he had this much fun
He felt a bit sad again that things like this were rare to him, but he told himself that he shouldn't be sad at a time like this, he was having fun now and that was all what mattered.
“Good, I enjoyed it much too” Iruka said smiling as they walked through a quiet alley
“You enjoyed what, brat?” a mean voice behind them said
They both turned and Kakashi startled when he saw to who the voice belonged, as he immediately backed up a few steps. Two boys stood in front of them and looked nasty at Kakashi. One of the boys was really fat and the other one was pretty tall and very slender. Both were wearing jeans, furthermore was the fat boy wearing a white shirt and he had a baseball cap on his head where greasy hair came from underneath. The slender boy was wearing a black shirt and his hair was short and spiked.
“Common Kakashit, we want new CD's, give us some money” the slender boy said while insulting the boy
Iruka looked confused at Kakashi but was shocked to see the boys eyes, fear written all over them
“No, I won't let you take any of it anymore!” Kakashi's yelled
“Trying to look good in front of you girlfriend now are we?” even though Iruka had tied his hair in a ponytail he still looked pretty girlish
“Shut up! He's a boy!” Kakashi yelled again
“Ow sorry, didn't know you swung that way, then boyfriend I mean” the slender boy said sarcastic and the fat boy chuckled
“Shut up!” Kakashi yelled once again
“Cursing is not really nice you know! Now where's the money!” the boy raised his voice at the end
The fat boy grabbed Kakashi's shirt and threw him again the wall of the alley
“I want money!” the slender boy stood next Kakashi and his friend
“I have nothing with me” Kakashi said with trouble
“Hey!” Iruka said
“What do you want!” the slender boy yelled harsh at him
“Look, I don't know what's going on, but I'm sure we'll be able to solve this with words” Iruka said wisely
“We just tried to do that, asshole, but your friend here didn't listened” he turned his attention back to Kakashi who was starting to have trouble breathing properly, because the arm of the fat boy was pushing hard against his chest
“Last chance, Kakashit! Pay!” he boy shouted in his ear and when Kakashi made no attempt to get some money, the slender boy punched him hard in his stomach.
The fat boy gave Kakashi a knee against his chest and punched Kakashi several times in his face. The fat boy let go of his victim and backed up, as Kakashi fell down to the ground with his arms around his chest, obvious having trouble breathing.
“Why'd you do that!” Iruka yelled furious as he quickly sat down next to his friend in concern
“We warned him and he should have listened!” the slender boy said
He stepped closer and kicked Kakashi hard against his cheek, which made Kakashi fall in Iruka's arms, as he sat next to him and across from the inflictors of Kakashi's pains. The slender boy laughed at his pain and Iruka shouted “Get lost trash!!” the slender boy walked forth again and also gave Iruka a kick against his head for calling them trash. The boys laughed at their pain again and took off.
“Kakashi are you okay?” Iruka asked, worry written all over his face, as a trickle of blood made its way running from his nose further down his face
“…” As much as Kakashi wanted to say something, nothing came out his mouth
“Come, we quickly need someone to look at that” Iruka softly touched Kakashi lip, which had split open by one of the many hit's he had gotten
“…” He was still not able to say anything so he just nodded
“Can you stand up?” Iruka asked
“I.. I.. d-don't k-k-know” he stuttered and he tried to stand on his own
He almost stood, but slowly huddled together again. Iruka fastly stood up next to him, pulled his arms around his friend and half carried him to his own home. They hadn't even came far before the trouble had begun; less then five minutes walking. Luckily no one was on the street so they fastly walked towards Iruka's home again.
Iruka entered the house without leaving his shoes at the door, he quickly walked Kakashi to the couch and laid him down.
“Mom, you must come now!” Iruka called panicked
“What is it?” his mother came running in the living room “Oh my…” she said when she saw Kakashi and her son's nose
“I'll get some bandages and stuff” she ran away
“Kakashi, you're going to be okay” Iruka came squatted down on his haunches
“I know” Kakashi smiled
It was the first time anybody had ever stood up for him, Kakashi knew for certain that everything would become okay
“Uhm Kakashi, can you tell me why they wanted your money?” Iruka asked doubtful
Kakashi knew he would ask this and it would be a good chance to see if Iruka really was a friend or only a fake friend now he would hear Kakashi's parents were rich.
“Uh well, my parents are really rich and uhm, right about every friend I have isn't a real one… they only suck up to me trying to get some of my parents money. The boys we met earlier don't suck up to me trying to get some, they use violence, as you've seen. They've done it before and they probably do it again” Kakashi smiled sadly at his friend
“But why don't you tell your parents?” Iruka asked confused
“I've tried, but they're always so busy with work, they don't even know when I'm home and when I'm not. They don't even know I've slept here”
“But I've heard you talk to your mom” Iruka was still confused
“I faked it, as I had already thought they would, they were talking to someone else on the phone” Kakashi was still smiling sad
“I'm sorry” Iruka looked down
“What for?” Kakashi asked surprised
“For what you've all gone through”
“It's okay, it's not like it's your fault” Kakashi said
“I know but still, I couldn't imagine that my parents were like yours” Iruka said sadly, he really felt sorry for his friend
“Iruka-kun, really, it's okay, but please don't tell your mom and dad, I just…” he looked at Iruka almost begging
“I won't, if you wish me not to” Iruka promised
Kakashi grabbed something from his pocket “Here”
He gave something, which was made of paper, to the boy next to him.
“What's this…” Iruka looked at the pieces of paper in his hand
There were lying three bank notes in his hand, worth a lot of money
“You can have it for sticking up for me, as far as I can remember, no one's ever done that for me”
Iruka looked at the pieces of paper and handled them back to Kakashi
“I don't need money to be happy” he said smiling
“But…” Kakashi didn't knew what to say
Iruka opened Kakashi's hand pushed the money in it and folded the hand into a flabby fist
“You keep it, you're my friend, I couldn't take money from you” Iruka smiled wider, his eyes becoming slits and he blushed lightly, like he did every time he smiled
“Thanks, I won't forget this…” and with that Kakashi fainted, leaving Iruka a bit confused behind, wondering why he said that
