Teddy Brings Home a Stray

"Children bring home stray cats or dogs; Harri's godson brings home a highly dangerous ninja instead." FemHarry x Kakashi

^.^

When Kakashi first caught sight of the little blue haired boy following him his first thought was, 'with hair like that the kid needs to be much sneakier to spy on a ninja'. Then the child latches onto him and refuses to let go until he meets his neechan and his second thought was, 'I should have ran when I had the chance'.

The child, Tedī he reminds himself, brings him to a nice house on the edge of town between the civilian and shinobi districts. He knows Genma lives in the apartment a block away and Ibiki has a house down the street, so he feels relativity safe letting a civilian child lead him around.

"Harī!" the boy shouts, "I'm home!"

The woman takes one look at him and plants her hands on her hips, looking annoyed. She's tiny, probably no taller than 5'2". Her hair is a lion's mane, the fiery red curls surround her soft heart shaped face nicely. The way her hair practically swallows her shows the delicateness of her bone structure. She has high cheekbones, a small button nose, and a light dusting of freckles across her face. But the most eye catching part of her has got to be her eyes. They're the greenest eyes he has ever seen, greener than the brightest emeralds and much greener than that pink haired civilian family he's seen around.

"Tedī, normal children bring home stray cats or dogs, not ninjas." the woman, Harī, said firmly.

"But he has cool hair and he's a dog person." replied Tedī, giving her puppy dog eyes.

Kakashi watched as the woman blatantly checks him out, she has no shame. He apparently meets her approval because she sighs and gestures for him to sit.

"We're having baked tonkatsu with grilled eggplants." She turned to a pouting Tedī, "And yes Tedī you have to finish everything on your plate or you can't play with Konohamaru tomorrow."

He sits and Tedī is watching his every move, probably waiting for him to take off his mask, while Harī ignores him completely. "Tedī, what did I tell you about staring."

He frowns and looks down at his plate, "That it's rude."

"Mhmm. Now, eat. You're probably making your guest uncomfortable."

Tedī starts to eat, staring intently at his plate and Kakashi takes this time to eat his own food quickly.

After a few moments, Tedī looks at him amazed. "Did you finish your food while I only ate this much?!"

Kakashi eye smiled at him. "Aa."

"That is so cool." whispered Tedī. "I wanna learn to do that! Teach me, pleeeeease!"

By now Harī has also finished her food and she starts picking up the dishes, "Tedī, food now or no friends tomorrow."

Tedī stops talking and starts stuffing his face instead. It's amusing, seeing a five year old try to copy how quickly he eats.

"If you choke, I am going to let you suffer until the very last minute." warns Harī.

Tedī looks up in horror and slows down his eating. Harī smiles at them and places a plate of mochi ice cream on the table. "Help yourself, there's green tea, vanilla, and chocolate. Just leave one chocolate for Tedī, he has a horrible sweet tooth."

Kakashi sticks around, wondering when she'd kick him out of her home. She doesn't even know his name and there she is, perfectly at ease in his presence. He actually spends a relaxing couple of hours with them, listening to Harī tell Tedī a story about a dragon and Tedī tell them about his foray into spying. It's not until Tedī starts yawing, around eight, that she escorts him out.

Harī walks him to the door and beckons him closer so she could whisper in his ear. He complies because of his damn curiosity. What could she possibly want to whisper to him that can't be spoken at a normal volume?

"Be here at six tomorrow." Harī whispers in his ear, her breath sending tingles and a barely noticeable shiver down his spine. "You're taking me out on a date and we're going to get to know each other, starting with your name."

She then kisses him on his mask covered cheek and shut the door in his face. What a strange woman... he's not going to show up until eight.

When the wards pinged to let her know Teddy brought home a stranger, she'd thought it'd be a child his age, or maybe that blonde boy she's seen him spy on, she certainly didn't expect a ninja her age.

She continues serving out dinner, adding one more plate because she knows she can't say no to Teddy's puppy dog face and he's going to use it to ensure victory. Besides, it's not like the ninja can attack her in her home, she's put up multiple intent based runes to stop that sort of thing.

When Teddy says he's a dog person, she knows it's over. The ninja's part of the pack now, whether he wants to be or not. She might as well enjoy it then, besides he's been cleared through the runes so he holds no ill intent toward them. She blatantly checks him out, there was no way she was going to attempt to be sneaky with a ninja.

He's tall, why must everyone be taller than her, and he's covered from head to toe in a standard Jonin uniform. There's only one eye visible, it's a stormy gray, and she can see slight amusement in it. So she's entertaining him with her staring huh, good to know. His hair is an eye catching gravity defying silver, but her red mane beats him in the mess department. Not that that's something to be proud of, oh god their children would hate their hair. Wait, she's getting off topic, back to the ninja. She sighs, this must be that one ninja Ibiki and Anko mentioned that is constantly late, no one else has silver hair around here. Oh well, she was bound to meet him sooner or later with all the ninja friends she's been making.

Dinner is slightly awkward but highly entertaining, at least for her. She can see Teddy desperately waiting for the ninja to unveil his face but she knows it won't happen. Anko's mentioned multiple attempts at seeing his face but none have succeeded. She doesn't even attempt to catch a peek, maybe that'll win her points in his book, who knows how ninja work. She swears they're quirkier than wizards. The ninja hasn't said more than 'Aa' and she's not even sure that counts.

After dinner is slightly better because it's story time. She doesn't bother kicking out the ninja yet because he looks a little lonely, maybe Teddy is just what he needs to brighten up his life. She tells the triwizard dragon story and Teddy explains to them, in great detail, about all the spying he's been doing. That's apparently how he found the ninja, and his interest was piqued when the ninja summoned a dog.

It's not until Teddy yawns midsentence that she glances at the time, eight o'clock, and way past his bedtime. She leaves Teddy on the couch and walks the ninja to the door, planning all the while.

She beckons him closer so she could whisper in his ear, because he's so damn tall that it's the easiest way to give her access to his face.

"Be here at six tomorrow." She whispers, enjoying the barely visible shiver he gives. "You're taking me out on a date and we're going to get to know each other, starting with your name."

Quickly, before he has a chance to stand tall and out of her reach, she kisses him on his mask covered cheek and shuts the door in his face. She knows he's going to show up, that shiver was basically a yes. Besides, no one can resist the Potter charm when it's focused on them. Jokes on him though, because she knows he probably isn't going to show until eight, which is when the place she wants to go to opens anyway.
