"I really don't want to go..." Erin groaned.

Daiji rolled his eyes in response, "That's your problem," He sighed and took a bite out of his apple.

"You can keep rotting on this couch." He plopped down next to Erin.

Erin had napped throughout the whole day since she came back from her mission with Kakashi.

She woke up at 7:00 Am due to a knock at her door by a jonin who had said Tsunade requested her to come to her office in an hour.

"Very helpful." She glared at Daiji peacefully eating his apple.

Erin rolled her eyes, "One day, ill die from overworking myself." She dramatically said as she walked to her bedroom to get ready.

"Overworking yourself? The least you do is walk to the fridge." Daiji stated as she disappeared into the hallway.

"Jerk." Erin called not caring if he heard it or not.

She quickly got dressed knowing if she thought about it any longer she will never end up going.

Erin wore her usual black skirt with a small slit showing her shorts, and a black cropped shirt.

"See you never." Erin mumbled as she put on her shoes and walked to the front door.

"Good to know." Daiji mumbled as he flipped a page in his book.

Erin groaned and walked out the door, the sun hitting her face immediately, 'I hate my life...' She dreaded reality.

It wasn't that she really hated her life, it was the fact that she looked into every little small thing in it and it ruined the overall image.

Especially her mission with Kakashi.

That damn mission.

'Why can't i stop thinking about it!?!' Erin almost pulled out her hair.

She couldn't stop thinking about it at all, 'It didn't mean anything right?' She cringed as she remembered the way his hand warmed hers and his touch on her waist and skin.

It all didn't make sense.

'How do i know what I'm supposed to do?' She placed her hand on her beating heart, 'Is it possible that it's deeper than i think it is?'

But she views him as her teacher. A close friend. He could never be one she loved, one she cared for like more than a friend, one she thought about, one she wanted to be around all day...

Was he?

Erin shook her head as every time she thought of him heaviness took over her heart.

The Hokage's building came into view and she let out a sigh of relief knowing she won't have to think as much anymore.

"I wonder what she needs this time." Erin mumbled as she entered.

She knocked on the door, "Enter." Tsunade immediately answered.

"Good morning." Erin mumbled not showing the good part of the morning.

Tsunade nodded, "It certainly is." She sighed making Erin roll her eyes.

"So what did you call me here for at 7 in the morning." She made sure to glare at the woman who seemed unfazed by her immaturity.

Tsunade scoffed and supported her chin on her palm, "Well, i need you for a mission." She stated.

Erin narrowed her eyes, "Ok." Arguing got her nowhere knowing damn well she is here because she wants to.

Tsunade smiled knowing Erin gave up, "Come in." A knock was heard making Erin turn around.
