Kakashi was sighing, for the fifth time this day. He miss Natsuki so much, even though they just met yesterday.
Separating with his centre while they already sort out their feeling, was hard for him. The copy-nin tried to do something to occupied himself doing something to keep his mind from his love. Like finishing all the clean-up of ROOT, helping the Hokage and Ino-Shika-Cho to sort out of what should they do with kidnapped children or abused children from Danzo's torturous act. Hanging out with his friends, like he were doing right now. But his mind still keep on thinking of his soulmate.
Sarutobi Asuma, that was beside him, raised an eyebrow when he caught him dozing around. "What wrong with you, Kakashi? I though you want to hang out? But why you make a face like you were hung up on something." Pointed the Sarutobi and looking at the Hatake with upon curiosity.
Sighing for six time, the copy-nin slumped himself in resignation, getting the attention of the other Jounin in the room.
"What's wrong with Kakashi?" asked the woman with black curly hair and red eyes, Yuhi Kurenai to her boyfriend. Asuma lifted both of his shoulder, "Don't know. But I can guess it probably about his soulmate." When Kakashi flinched, the beard man can see that he was right, "Oh, I was right isn't it?" teased the Sarutobi.
Kakashi lifted up his head and glared at the beard Jounin that was laughing at his misery. The other jounin that was with them, looked at Kakashi in disbelieve. Everyone know that Hatake clan choose their life partner through soulmate bond and hearing about a stoic and aloof Kakashi find someone, make them curious what kind of person his centre is.
"Did you finally found your soulmate, Hatake?" yelled the purple haired woman, Mitarashi Anko. Kakashi cringed at her loud voice, inched away from the snake woman. But regret it when Gai came and pound on him in surprise, "MY ETERNAL RIVAL FINALLY FOUND HIS YOUTHFUL COMPANION?!" making everyone whined at the volume of the green spandex jounin bring.
"Keep it down Gai, we were talking about Kakashi's soulmate here." scolded Asuma. Kakashi rolled his eyes, but then sighed again. Everyone frown seeing that, "Seriously, Kakashi. What's wrong? Did they reject you?" asked Kurenai, concern.
Kakashi shook his head in replied, "No, he accept my confession just fine." Everyone looked at each other when the copy-nin reveal his soulmate gender but keep it to themselves, they don't want to ruin this opportunity of knowing more about Hatake's partner.
"Then, what's wrong?" pushed Genma impatiently. Kakashi rubbed the back of his head sheepishly, "Well, he left me." said him honestly defeated. Everyone that was listening, gasped "He left you?!" shout everyone in shocked.
Realized that there is misunderstanding in his words, Kakashi quickly corrected it "He not truly left me. He have something to do outside of village, so he will be gone for a few months." Everyone sighed in relief at that, "So, what's the problem? He accepted your feeling and he just be gone for a few months. I don't think there is something to worried about. Don't tell me you just can't be separated with him and already missed him?" pointed Raidou on the last part, didn't realize it was the truth.
Kakashi cover his masked face with his hands, "That's the things. It's already hard for me to be separated with him for a week. I can't get through with that for the whole few months!" said the silver haired in frustration.
Everyone just keep themselves quiet at his antic when a poof of smoke appeared in front of Kakashi, startling everyone. They took a step back, hands on their weapon pouch, ready for the battle but stop when they see what is came out from the smoke. It was a two tails fox kit with white coat and red tips on it's ears, paws and tails.
The fox looked around first, spotted them looking at it before it started to speak, "Which one of you is Hatake Kakashi?" said Hatake blinked and stared at the fox in upon curiosity, wondering whose have a fox as a summon in their possession. Everyone heard the summon said the silvered haired name, turned to Kakashi curiously.
"Um, that's me." Kakashi raised his hand and the fox turned to him and nodded in greeting. "I'm Kina, one of Natsuki-sama summon. He send me to you to give this letter," Kina said and take an blue envelope from her thick fur and presented it to Kakashi.
Kakashi, hearing the name of his love, quickly took the letter while thanking the summon. He opened it to read, ignoring that his friends were looking at the letter in his hand with upon curiosity or realize that the fox stay there to wait for his answer.
[Hey Kakashi,
Just checking if you still alive and not moping around while I'm gone. Because I know you will do that.
Kakashi scoffed and continued his reading,
Anyway, the reason I sent you this letter is...um, how do I explain this without having you getting mad at me?
Kakashi raised his silver brow at that.
Alright, screw it...I will go straight to the point in here.
Okay, the truth is...Shisui confessed to me last night with a few kiss and I kinda kissed him back, accepting his feeling. Which I kinda like it.
Kakashi when still at that, eyes widened in shock.
And...and I told him that you and I were seeing each other. Which kinda sappy to me.
Kakashi softened at that and keep continued reading the letter.
He was shocked to know this of course, not like he really did. But then he tell me that he don't mind sharing me with you if you also okay with it. That's the reason I'd sending this letter, to ask you if we can establish polygamy relationship between the three of us or not.
I don't want the two of you fight over me or hurting each other because of me either. So, please think about it, okay? Take time to answer that, if you need too.
If you want us to talk face to face, my summon can reverse summon you to me and we can talk it out together, with the three of us.
That's all I want to say, hope you with me on this and let's not goes into violation because of this, please. I like the both of you and you two are far to precious to me, I don't want to lose you both because of this.
Love, your boyfriend; Natsuki]
After he finished reading it, the copy-nin make a conflicted face. Everyone looked at him in concern, "You okay there, Kakashi?" asked Asuma wryly. Kakashi slumped him head on the table, "He asked me if we can establish a polygamy relationship." said the Hatake in defeat. His friends eyes widened in gasp, "Wait, what? He were in relationship with someone else? Does that mean he were cheating on you?" said Anko without tact, making the copy-nin glared at her heatedly.
"Watched your mouth, snake lady! My master would never do something so shameful like that." everyone turned to the fox and see that it snarled at Anko with so much malice. Anko took a step back when she felt the strong killed intents that was directed at her from the fox.
Kakashi smirked, looking satisfies at what the snake mistress got herself into. Going through back on the letter, he made his decision. "What you gonna do, Kakashi?" asked Genma curiously. Burning the letter, the copy-nin gazed at his friends and give them an eye-smile "Maa, I will be going to talk with him and meet with his other lover too, to see for myself if they will be good for my honeypie or not. Better have a conversation face-to-face rather then through letter, right?" he said and stood up.
Picking up the fox and bring it into his arms, he turned to his friends "Well then fellas, see you later." He said his goodbye in mock salute and shunshin himself away with the fox summon.
After they lost the sight of Hatake, each of them was thinking the same thing when someone spoke "What the fuck just happened?"
For his part, Kakashi walked through the alleyway and stop, he looked at the fox neutrally "Can you reverse summon me to Natsuki? I want us to met and talk." The fox nodded in understand, and the next second, the two of them was gone from the alley.
XXXX
When he opened his eyes again, he was in someone room at the inn. "Yo, welcome into our humble abode, Kakashi-senpai."
Turning around, the copy-nin was met with truly alive Shunshin no Shisui. The Uchiha were sitting on the coffee table with a few scrolls and notes on it. When the raven lifted his head up from his scroll, his grey eyes was met with sky blue one.
'I see, that's what Natsuki mean when he said there was a change of colour on the Uchiha new eyes.' though Kakashi. The silver head give an eye-smile at the Uchiha, "Glad to see you alive and well, Shisui." The Uchiha grinned in respond, proving Kakashi that this is really Shisui that he knew.
Despide being an Uchiha, that always stoic, aloof and have stuttered emotion. Shisui bubbly personality was always refreshing to see. Looking at the Uchiha again, his appearance really change a lot. His usual black curly hair that Kakashi remembered before his suppose 'death' was styled into pixie hairstyle and it's goes well with his blue eyes, making him look more stunning than he usually do.
But he was thin, there was a bit a muscle there, no doubt he was still healing and were processing his training regime.
(This is what Shisui look right now)
After he done checking on the Uchiha, he sighed. "So, where's Natsuki? I don't senses him around the room." He state and took his seat on the opposite side of the table. "Ah, he was called by the villagers, asking for his help about something. Do you want me to call him? I can use his hiraishin mark to call him here?" suggested Shisui.
Kakashi shook his head, "No, it's okay. I don't want to bother him while he were busy. While we wait for him to come back, let's have a talk. Between Natsuki's lover and Natsuki's lover." said the Hatake, all the seriousness shows on his masked face.
Seeing that this will be a serious conversation, Shisui turned serious too and nodded. Stand up from his seat, he walked himself to the kitchen "Let's have a tea while we talk." Kakashi nodded in understand and wait for him to make tea for them.
When Shisui came back with a tray of tea and took back his seat, Kakashi clear his throat to start their conversation. "Most people know about how the Hatake clan choose their partner through soulmate but we mostly call them centre. We identify our centre through eyes contact and when we finally found them, we would never let them go." Shisui nodded, caught what the copy-nin tried to said. "Natsuki is your soulmate then, I'll presume."
Kakashi nodded at him in confirmation at his conclusion while calmly took a sip of his tea, Shisui rested his head on his arm, completely laid back. "Well, senpai. We in the same boot, Uchiha when we fall in love, we will fall hard and would not let go. We will goes crazy if we lost something that we love." explain Shisui next uninterestedly, playing with his tea.
The silvered sighed, "I know about that...Since the both of us agreed that we both can't let go of our Natsuki. We don't have choice but to make a compromise between the two of us." Shisui nodded in agreement, "Natsuki also said that he like having two partner instead of one, so one of them won't get bored while the others was off from the mission."
Kakashi blinked, "Oh! How thoughtful of him. Even though, we don't have that kind of feeling toward each other. I still enjoy your company," said him truthfully with a smile.
Shisui grinned and held out his hand, "Glad to hear that...and I also don't mind your company too, senpai. But, let establish our relationship with truce and compromise, and accept each other as Natsuki's lover, shall we?"
With a pleased smirk, Kakashi accept the hand that was offered and shook it firmly, "We shall. Glad to have you with us, Shisui."
