Couldn't say we are just friends.
We have definitely gone past that with the things we have done...
She has always been there by my side as long as I remembered.
Like... gai. But a lot less like gai.
Kakashi opens the communication seal on his wrist " Mai Mai ~ Mai Mai ~ "
" Shut up !! What is it ?" She said back through the seal on her own wrist
Kakashi: I need back up.
Mai ; write back. To request for some. Aren't you on a C rank mission?
Kakashi: the client hid some facts. It just got turned into an A rank. Zabuza is here.
Mai closes the seal.
Kakashi: mai ! Sighs. . . .
Mai : Little Scorpion! Zabuza in the bingo book. There's someone else that follows him around right ?
Tamazuki: Haku. Kekkei genkai. Ice.
Enjin: sandaime sent a letter. It says to help out team 7 . It's nearby here. Three genin , one jounin. Uzumaki Naruto , Uchiha Sasuke, Haruno Sakura and Hatake Kakashi.
Mai : so that bossy meanie did sent a letter back . . . . The communication seal opens back up and mai talks for Kakashi to hear " you predicted I would be the nearest. Sandaime told you my mission?"
Kakashi: kind of overheard it before I left the village. Saw sandaime send out the letter while you were still out there.
Mai ; all of you. One by one bullying me. I haven't gone home a while. We !! Haven't gone home a while !!
Kakashi: it's not my fault you keep getting missions . Moshi moshi. Moshi moshi ? .... She's angry ...

Mai and her squad had reached onto the bridge.
Mai : little Scorpion.
Tamazuki goes over to take a look at the three of them. " The two of you. One each. Let's move them to another place."
The two girls nodded and did as tamazuki said.
Mai looks to zabuza then to Haku. Then back to zabuza " he's dead. You're on your last breath. You look like you have more to say."
Zabuza ; could you bury us together? Kakashi.
Kakashi: I will.
Mai looks to the other ninjas on the other side of the bridge with the merchant behind them " Kakashi. Need to catch your breath ?"
Kakashi sits down on the floor " ah. I need. "
" You're anbu !! Anbu only kill those related to secret missions !! We have no secrets !" One of them said confidently.
Mai stepped forward "there was such a rule ? Little Horse."
Tenzo ; no. There's no such rule. It's just one needs to be accounted on who killed who on open missions. That's why anbu isn't usually used. It's just troublesome to investigate.
" then. Just once. Remember . Who killed you." She takes off her mask and revealed her face. " Hmm... We're all around water. Using that jutsu is better."

" Wait wait. I remember her !! The red cloak !! It's black on the inside and red on the outside. She's... She's an anbu right ?!!"
" What's so scary about her ?!!" The merchant said.
" She's The Red Cloak. Disappears into the dark when she wears black and red when she kills "
Mai : .... That's what people think I do ?
Tenzo: kind of accurate actually
Mai : 5 seconds. 5, 4, 3... All the rogue ninja had chosen to run instead.
With a body flickers she was right in front of the merchant.
" Come back. Come back !!"
Mai ; I think you'll find it hard. Mass murder is not difficult for me. I did it a few times, as my mission required. 30 at once. That does consider as mass murder correct ?
" Please...ple...ple ... Please. I'm sorry. I'll never disturb these people again."
She puts back on her mask " that's not my business. But if the old man brings another request like that to konohagakure. We can't possibly reject business."
" I'll go. I'll go !!" And the merchant runs away.
She turns back around" little horse. Get a boat here. Little Scorpion. Take a look at bossy meanie after you're done with them."
Tamazuki: Hai.
Kakashi: as usual. Your red cloak does a lot of work for you.
Mai ; that's the point. Copy ninja didn't do it for you ?
Kakashi: I don't have anything iconic like you.
Tenzo ; boat is ready !
________________________________
On the boat...
Naruto: Kakashi sensei. That onee-chan is very strong?
Kakashi: she is.
Sakura ; she's anbu right ?
Kakashi: Hai. Anbu taichou. She's the back up I asked for.
Naruto : those ninjas were so scared and she didn't even do anything.
Kakashi: she likes to build a bad reputation to scare off people.
Sasuke ; Fear throws people off balance. That's smart.
Naruto ; uhno. Onee-chan. Why are they scared of you ?
Mai ; bad reputation.
Sasuke ; what did you do ?
Mai ; don't dwelve into things that aren't your business. When one day you've become anbu or jounin, you'll know then.
Naruto ; then. Can I see your face ? I'm kind of curious.
Mai : anbu can't take off their masks while out of village. So that no one knows our identites easily.
Sasuke ; you took it off.
Mai ; mission required it. To make them believe I am capable of killing them . Not as anbu.
