Chapter 19 - Remembrance

"I hate October."

The admission made Kakashi turn his head and look at Teddy. They were alone in the house and Teddy had suggested they play a board game. Kakashi had accepted and they had played for a while till they got fed up and now they had been lying on their backs out on the patio, staring at the passing clouds.

"Why?" Kakashi asked. He privately hated October as well. It was the month that ruined his life; Minato had died that month, one of the deaths that had sent an adolescent Kakashi even further into depression and into ANBU corps for years. "You guys were not here when Kyuubi attacked," he eyed Teddy.

The blue haired wizard gave him a thoughtful look. "Kakashi, you know Harry was orphaned at a young age, like I was?"

"He mentioned his parents were killed," the silver haired J�nin agreed. "This happened in October?"

"Yes, October thirty first to be exact. My grandma died in October, on the ninth. We ended up in this world in October the tenth. Also, when Harry was younger he got attacked by a troll on the anniversary of his parents' death."

"What's a troll?"

Teddy blinked. "Huge, green and smelly creature with a great stonking club. Also, Harry was eleven and shorter than I am now."

"I can do the maths," Kakashi told the boy. "So, October is not the best month."

"I guess. What's your worst month?"

"October as well," the older shinobi admitted.

"May I ask why?" Teddy inquired.

"Because I lost family as well," was the reply that had the ten year old hugging Kakashi who was content to just hold onto the boy, taking the comfort offered.

"You are not going to the festival?" Kurenai asked Harry.

The green eyed man shook his head. "I'm not in the mood this year." He had not been interested all that much even before he learned that Konoha celebrated the tenth of October day as the day Kyuubi got defeated, not when he learned from Kakashi that the blond boy had been tormented and hunted down by villagers on that very day, the day he had lost his father and mother and got turned into a living prison. Harry's lover had told the green eyed wizard that the ANBU had held watch on Naruto on the entire week just in case anyone attacked the poor boy. They had apparently learned after the first time a drunk civilian had tried to kill the boy at the tender age of three. Hearing that made Harry recall his own dark childhood, but he at least had only the Dursley's hating him. Even they had not come after him with a blade and the intent to kill. Teddy never liked the festival much, aside from the chance to eat food and goof around with Kenji, but he did that anyway.

"What have you planned?" the kunoichi asked.

"Why do you say that?"

"Answering a question with another question is not nice you know. Now, I'm sure you have plenty of reasons not to attend this year and I bet one of them is called Hatake Kakashi."

Harry shook his head. "When will you give it a rest? I'm not sharing details, ever!"

"So you do have plans with Kakashi."

The wizard rolled his eyes. "Yes, I do. Don't you dare giggle!"

"Giggling is above me," Kurenai stated pompously, making Harry snort.

"I am certain I saw you and even Anko giggling over Isamu," the green eyed man pointed out. "I remember the day and place too."

"Can you leave at least a word without commenting on it?" the woman sighed.

"Can't help myself. Anyway, you are correct in your assumptions that Kakashi and I will be spending that day together."

"Having hot, sweaty, naked sex?"

"Kurenai! Stop channelling Mitarashi! It's getting rather creepy."

"Not my fault you know," the Genjutsu Mistress shrugged. "For the record, Anko is dying to meet you."

"I don't need another creepy lady meddling in my love life," Harry told his friend.

"Who are you calling creepy you…"

Shizune chose that moment to enter Harry's shop. "I'm sorry, is this a bad time?"

The two friends stopped bickering and turned to face Tsunade's right hand woman and apprentice. Harry and Kurenai both blushed at being caught during one of their not so good moments.

"No, no, come in," Harry told the woman. "Are you low on valerian?"

Shizune nodded. "And tea. The one with vanilla. I admit I drink a lot of it, helps me relax after a hard day."

"The usual amount?" the wizard asked her and she responded positively.

"Why where you fighting, if I may be so bold?" she asked the two friends.

"I was just getting ready to kill her," Harry muttered, shooting Kurenai a dirty look. "Meddlesome woman that she is."

The two kunoichi rolled their eyes at the man, though Shizune, unlike Kurenai, knew that the green eyed herbalist actually had hidden layers. The entry in that Bingo book was rather telling, as was the weariness Tsunade showed whenever Potter's name came up in a conversation. But she figured it was not her business really. She did not linger at the store, paying for her wares and leaving the two friends to bicker in peace.

The night of the tenth of October Harry did not leave Kakashi on his own. The couple paid a visit to the Memorial Stone but they did not linger for long as more people, civilians and Shinobi alike, were there, paying their respects to the Shinobi who for years protected Konoha and the Land of Fire. If there was one thing Kakashi knew for certain where to find in the kitchen, that was alcohol. Harry kept quite a stock of it. Most he used for his cooking. The rest of the bottles were for days like this. The shinobi was halfway through the bottle when Harry decided that his lover had had enough.

"I did not peg you for that type of drunk guy," the wizard commented. "I expected you would sing off tune or act like a goof."

"I'm not."

"Come again?"

"I'm not drunk," Kakashi admitted. "But I so wish to be."

"That was half a bottle of vodka, as close as it gets to pure alcohol," Harry stated.

"Chakra burns alcohol if you know the trick," the shinobi replied.

"And I bet you know it."

The J�nin nodded. "Learned it while on a long term mission. Those where the shittiest four months of my life, after my life turned to hell that is."

"Okay, now you are whining and not making any sense," Harry told his lover.

He had meanwhile hidden the bottle back to its proper place, not that it looked like Kakashi would be after it again. Apparently it was grief and this day that made Kakashi want to drown his sorrows.

"Let's get upstairs," Harry suggested.

"Are you going to put me to bed?" he tried to tease but he sounded exhausted and felt it to the bone.

"Certainly." His lover did not rise to the bait.

The silver haired J�nin sighed and allowed his lover to pull him to his feet. True to his word, he was sober enough to walk without stumbling up the stairs, undress completely and then climb into bed. Harry did not lose any time joining him under the covers and cuddling up to the lethal man.

Kakashi returned from training his students to a sparkling clean house. Not that Harry was not clean, but this much was bordering on obsessive. For a second or two he feared he was in the wrong house. Then he heard Harry calling his name from the kitchen. He approached hesitantly and what he saw in there made him gulp. There were plates and pots and pans and a ton of food ready. It actually made the seasoned shinobi pause.

"Harry… what is going on here?" he asked, rather alarmed.

The green eyed man looked like a deer caught in the headlights. "Mm, I was doing a bit of cooking."

Kakashi arched an eyebrow. "A bit?"

Now Harry looked a bit sheepish. "Fine. I may have gone a bit overboard. Too bad Naruto's not back from Suna. That boy could be a lot of help with the leftovers unless…"

"Not even I can eat that much," Kakashi replied.

Harry sighed. "I better stop then," he muttered. He turned to chop some more peppers but Kakashi caught up with him, hugging him from behind and nuzzling Harry's throat gently.

"I know something's wrong," Kakashi commented. He closed his eyes and sighed softly. "Talk to me Harry."

The green eyed man groaned. "I'm sorry; just… today's the thirty first and…"

"Say no more. What do you want me to do to help you?"

"Just… stay with me?"

Kakashi smiled and squeezed him. "I can do that. Now, why don't you go have a shower and I'll bring you dinner in bed."

Harry nodded and went to do exactly what Kakashi suggested.

Teddy came home and his nose led him straight to the kitchen. There was a ton of food there. The kitchen was pretty tidy and Teddy frowned. He knew it was the Anniversary. In the old world it would be All Hallows Eve. He had noticed that as the years progressed, that Harry got antsy and wanted to keep busy so that he could forget. Usually there was no order and Harry would keep on cooking.

"Teddy, welcome back."

Teddy turned and smiled at Kakashi. The man had a tray of food and empty plates of just about any food he could smell in the kitchen.

"Harry's in bed," Kakashi explained. "Today he …"

"Went overboard, I know," Teddy smiled. "He usually does that around October thirty first."

"This is usual?" the silver haired shinobi pointed at the kitchen.

Teddy narrowed his eyes. "Did you tidy up?"

"Mm, yes."

Teddy then grinned at Kakashi. "Good. Usually I try to make him stop but… Thanks."

"So there's lots of food…"

"I can make a plate, I'm ten you know."

"Fine, fine," the J�nin tried to appease Teddy's ruffled feathers. "Just if you need anything…"

"Your door will be open?" the genin asked. "Thanks."

Kakashi ruffled the kids hair. "Forget it. I'll make you a plate and keep you company."

"You don't have to."

The older shinobi recalled all the time he ate alone, even before his father fell from grace. Even when Minato took his guardianship, Kakashi would spend hours alone and he usually ate his meals that way, alone. He still recalled the empty feeling that gave him. He shook the dark thoughts away and focused in the present.

"So, you have a lot to choose from, potatoes, rice, noodles, lamb…" Kakashi trailed off.

"A bit of everything," Teddy replied and took a seat.

"One plate of a bit of everything coming right up!"

Teddy giggled and settled to wait.

Harry was cocooned under blankets and surrounded by pillows. He cracked an eye open when he saw the door open. Teddy, in pyjamas entered the room and snuck into bed with his godfather.

"Teddy?"

"You take up a lot of room," the child accused as he lay right next to Harry.

Harry stared. "Well, you haven't done this in a while."

The boy shrugged.

Kakashi entered, looming over the bed. "Well, you two look cosy."

"There's still room on Harry's other side," Teddy dictated. Then he stared at his godfather. "You're not spending the night alone, not tonight."

Harry buried his face in Teddy's hair. "I don't know why this gets so difficult."

"Probably because you remember all the dead people you know on this night," Teddy lectured.

Kakashi meanwhile had slipped into bed, spooning right beside Harry at the other end of the bed.

"Teddy, love, stop being so smart," Harry groused.

"Just settle down you two, no teasing," Kakashi mock scolded and the duo turned and gave him wry grins. "Just saying."

"Just don't do anything icky with me in the room," Teddy ordered.

The two adults chuckled and promised not to as they all settled in to sleep. After an hour they were still awake.

"Harry?" Teddy asked after a while.

"Hm? Yes cub?"

"Can you tell me about dad? How he and mum met?" Teddy asked and Harry complied, telling Teddy all the details he knew from Remus' words and Nymphadora's diaries and Andy's words. After that another story was told, about Harry's parents. Kakashi added his own two cents, describing how his parents met. They stayed up till late, exchanging stories.

End of chapter.
