Fifteen nights
This year's "Fifteenth Night" is very special~~
Thinking so, I hurriedly stepped across the Ashigara Ancient Road and crossed the Takuya Street, praying that Aunt Mibei's shop wouldn't close so early. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Ah~! The curtains were half-drawn, but the lights were still on.
Knock knock! Still a little lucky, I knocked lightly on the door.
Swish! Almost immediately, the curtain opened.
"Yoyo!" Aunt Meibei looked pleasantly surprised, "You're finally back!" ”
"Well," I nodded, "it's a tricky task, but I'm back safely!" ”
"Just be safe! It's waiting for you, come on! "Aunt Meibei pulled me in and was about to go in.
"Ah...... Thank you for your kind invitation, but I'm sorry that I have something to do...... This is miscanthus brought back from the 'Hatsuho Festival' in the country of grass, so please accept it! Also, I hope to buy some 'Tsukimi dumplings'......"
"Ah~ This is really~ So, I'll take it! This is the 'Tsukimi Dango' prepared for you, and I know that I can't keep your ......."
I blushed a little, and suddenly saw Aoi hiding behind the door and grimacing at me, so ...... Sure enough, in the room, under the lamplight, Hino Masao was sitting at the table and nodding to me, and Kikuyo had already stood up and bowed slightly.
I also smiled, nodded in return, and took the white moon dumplings in Aunt Meibei's hand, but I couldn't pay for it, so I didn't have time to continue to excuse myself, so I finally thanked me and left.
"Fifteen Nights"!
Although in Japan, the meaning of Chukwan is more about worshipping the moon and thanking for a good harvest, in my heart, Chukyo-chuk still represents reunion, and I want to be with the people I want to be with.
repeatedly accelerated his pace, but in the end he couldn't suppress the eagerness in his heart, soared into the sky, and rushed home directly with the flying state.
Whoosh - a goshawk flew down on the stone table in the courtyard, and beside her was a carved bamboo basket filled with white jade balls, which reflected the balls that had been placed on the table.
"Master~!" Rin cheered.
"Ah~Yoyo~" Kakashi's face also showed joy.
Swish! I lifted the transformation, hugged Rin, then Kakashi, and whispered in his ear, "Happy birthday!" ”
Yes, this fifteen nights are just in time for Kakashi's birthday!
So, I have to come back.
Fifteen nights to spend with his family, so who can accompany him for his birthday?
***************************************************************************
The bright moonlight sprinkled in the courtyard, Rin had already set up some food as a sacrifice, and picked flowers, I went up and added a bunch of miscanthus grass, and then came back and sat down to admire the moon, eat dumplings, and drink rice wine.
After chatting some gossip, Rin obediently went back to his room, Kakashi and I looked at each other, stood up in unison, smiled at each other, and stepped on the wall.
****************************************************************************
The memorial monument, the moonlight is just right, three or three twos, there are also figures who come to visit relatives, we set up sacrifices in front of the tomb with soil, and enjoy the moon with him for a while.
And then......
"Kakashi—"
"Huh?"
"You haven't told me about your father, have you?"
“……”
"I've heard that he's also an amazing hero, a legend that even the three ninjas have to back down, one of the eight colors of Konoha ......"
I said this, and Kakashi didn't respond, his eyes glazed over.
"The son of Konoha White Fang, why has he sealed his sword skills for a long time......?" Moreover, it wasn't because I didn't receive the full inheritance, and I knew very well that Kakashi had mastered all of the White Fang Mental Technique, and could perfectly stimulate the sword energy.
“……”
"Do you know that in my hometown, August 15, the Mid-Autumn Festival, is a day of family reunion, if you still miss your family, you should go and see them." I stubbornly continued, holding back the cowardice in my heart and looking into Kakashi's eyes.
Perhaps, if I say this, he will be sad, right?
I don't dare to think about it.
However, one cannot always run away from the past.
I can't, and neither can Kakashi.
I don't dare take that step, but I can help Kakashi take that step first.
Am I being too selfish?
I don't dare to think about it.
"Okay......" Kakashi actually spoke.
He agreed.
I was shaking a little and I didn't know why.
****************************************************************************
In the mountains, in front of the tombstones, a small patch of moonlight shines through the shadows of the trees in the clearing.
"This is my father and mother." Kakashi said briefly.
I know that there are thousands of words in this sentence, but he is not good at expressing it.
How could he not be good at expressing himself? His words were sharp, silencing Iruka; His heart punched Naruto's fighting spirits; His clever edge made Yamato bow down......
However, he sealed his mouth and his heart, and he did not think about it, nor did he speak.
So, he couldn't express it.
He once said something like this to Sasuke: "But I don't have the most cherished person at all, because ...... All of them have been killed. ”
He said it with a smile, he thought he could face it with a smile, and he thought he had done it.
However, we all know that he didn't have a wow......
He was just a child, and when he lost his mother, father, friend, beloved, teacher, he was just a child.
After that, his heart was tightly closed, and in that world, the wounded child never grew up.
I don't know how fragile his outer shell is, but I just want to hug the wounded child inside him.
I jumped over the trees around me and gathered the branches with ribbons so that the moonlight could shine directly on the tombstones.
Then he wiped the tombstone with water, laid the offerings in the same way, knelt down and prayed with his palms together.
I don't know what Kakashi was thinking, but after a while, he fell to his knees beside me and bowed his head in silent prayer.
I can understand the pain of being pointed at by a thousand people but unable to speak, that anger, that kind of desperation, that kind of desperation, that made him choose to kill himself.
But I can't understand what kind of distortion the gap between my father, who is as majestic as a mountain and as dazzling as the moon, suddenly becomes a complete failure and the object of slander by everyone, so that he does not even have the ability to defend himself and decides on his own.
Even the thought of it makes me shudder.
It makes me feel distressed every time I see Kakashi's smile.
I think Kakashi is really strong.
No matter how much he hides himself and closes himself, he always maintains a sobriety and wisdom.
His talent is also really terrifying.
Just the outer self has already shown such wonderful abilities.
What am I going to do...... How do I go about rescuing and liberating Kakashi's heart?
I prayed, hoping that Kakashi's father and mother would give me strength.
After saying what he wanted to say, he listened to the mountain breeze blowing and the moonlight gradually moving. I went to untie the ribbon from the tree and stood back beside Kakashi.
"Thank you." Kakashi's expression was a little lonely, and there was a little relief. I wanted to laugh, but I wanted to cry.
"Let's go." Seeing that I didn't respond, Kakashi grabbed my hand and turned to walk out.
I......
Hands were held......
And, it seems that Kakashi is aware of this, but he doesn't let go.
Perhaps, he meant it?
So ...... me?
I struggled all the way, half-dragging and half-dragging Kakashi out of the forest and into the moonlight.
Although it was late at night and there was no sign of people, however, both men froze for a moment.
I tried to withdraw my hand, but Kakashi, with a little extra strength, grabbed it even tighter.
I couldn't help but glance at Kakashi, and Kakashi looked at me as well.
There is nothing to see in his eyes, only firmness.
It dawned on me.
Perhaps, Kakashi can't see through his own heart, but Kakashi inside has been watching the outside world through that protective shell.
Everything Kakashi did seemed to be the result of self-preservation and self-isolation, but it wasn't a reflection of his heart?
The character he showed, all his actions, must have also won his inner recognition and affirmation.
The child in his heart, who has suffered a lot of damage, is absorbing warmth and strength from the outside world little by little, and when one day, this strength is enough, he will grow up, and he will stand up and bravely break the barrier.
Why should I deliberately break this shackle, I just need to give him more warmth and warmth, I will let him feel all my sincerity, and I believe he can feel it.
For the first time, I felt that my feelings for Kakashi were so pure, so direct, so undisguised, and I smiled and took his hand easily and walked towards the village.
Under the courtyard walls of my house, Kakashi embraced me again, with affection; And I hugged him like a child who longed for warmth, and I knew that he would grow up, and he would in turn give me strength and become my support.
"Goodbye, then! ~" Kakashi whispered.
"Goodbye!" This goodbye is different from the past.
Every day after that, will be different.
