" Hatake!! " It was Mai's mother who called him out.
Kakashi : Yukisaki-san. No... Kakashi is fine.
" I made Mai promise to come over tonight for her birthday. Are you staying in the village today ? How about you come as well ?"
Kakashi: that's a kind invite. But I wouldn't want to impose on your family.
" It's fine. It's fine. She was the one to ask to invite you if I catch you at your door. I'm lucky to have caught you here."
Kakashi: no, you're my elder. If anything, I'm troubling you.
" You're so polite. Neh ~ you have a girlfriend yet ?"
Kakashi sweatdropped" haha... "

Kakashi knocks on the door.
" It's unlocked!!"
He opens it up " sorry for the disturb." And enters.
" Oh you're here !" Mai's mother, Yura commented .
" Kakashi right ?" Mai's father, Taari asked.
Kakashi: Hai.
Taari: she's not back yet. Anbu always ended late.
Yura ; she promised to come back.
Kakashi: Mai rarely breaks her promise. Don't have to worry.
Taari ; I've heard a lot of things about you.
Kakashi: oh. Taari-san was a shinobi ?
Yura: kinda obvious with the scrolls all over the house isn't it ? Like father like daughter
Taari: you don't understand
Yura shrugged " I don't. I'm just a bar owner. What do I know ?"
Taari ; ignore her.
" I'm back ! " Mai enters through the door " papa !! "
Taari ; Mai! How's the work ?
Mai ; as usual.
" Mama !!" She runs into the kitchen and hugs her mother.
She then walks to Kakashi " Kakashi ! Brought a gift?"
Kakashi: knew you would ask. Left it in your house.
Mai ; eh ? Why didn't you bring it here ?
Yura : such a secret ? ~~
Kakashi: no, it's just bulky.
Mai: oh. Then never mind.
Yura starts bringing the food out " dinner is ready !"
.
.
.
Yura ; have more ! Don't be shy !
Taari ; she cooked a lot. Don't worry to have seconds. Or I will be eating leftover.
Mai ; I can bring it home ! Leftovers. Tomorrow don't need to think what to cook. Just have Mama's yummy food.
Yura ; how's the food ?
Kakashi; very delicious.
Mai ; Kakashi cooks not bad food. Mama should try it one time. When Kakashi is free , although he's kinda never. Hahahaha...
Kakashi: I make sure you don't starve. That's enough isn't it ?
Mai ; we're neighbours. We take care of each other ~ desu~
Taari ; there's dessert in the fridge if you're done.
" Hai !" Mai brings her plates back to the kitchen and opens the fridge.
The door knocks.
Yura ; who is that ? At this timing of the night...
Kakashi: not sure... Probably...
" I will get it. " Mai opens the door " sighs. That's bad. No one else ? It's my birthday today."
" Gomen. It's a special case. We need someone who can verify it after we take it back."
Mai takes her cloak hung up "mama papa !!"
Taari : go ahead !
" I'm leaving !" And she closes the door behind her
Kakashi: I guess I will help keep up.
Taari ; don't worry about it. I'll do it later.
Yura ; let me pack her dessert and yours.
Kakashi: Hai.
.
.
.
Yura brings the packed desserts out for him. She also brought out two cups of tea " have some before you go."
Kakashi: arigatou.
Yura ; no. Arigatou. Taking care of our Mai.
Kakashi: no... She's quite independent. She probably doesn't need me taking care of.
Yura ; but she chooses you to let take care of. And you do a good job, so arigatou.
Kakashi: no... It's not that much of a hassle... It's really nothing...
Yura ; I know our Mai well even though I kinda chased her out since she was a bit young. Some people say I'm heartless.
Kakashi: no... I kinda understand. She has scrolls everywhere too.
Yura ; exactly!! Anyway, arigatou. That Mai, when she relies on someone she becomes totally useless. Don't stock her fridge. Let her house be messy.
Taari ; she also never tells us when she's hurt. Doesn't want us worried.
Yura ; but she tells you. So we're thankful someone is out there looking out for her.
Kakashi: don't worry, I make equally enough trouble for her.
Yura ; ara. It's late let me send you out. You have some missions tomorrow I'm sure.
She sends Kakashi to the door. She walks him to the frontyard " maybe someday you'll find a girlfriend. But before then, please continue to take care of her."
Kakashi: she might get a boyfriend
Yura starts to laugh and then laughed even harder " Gomen. Gomen.... It's just ... That Mai ? Boyfriend? Impossible "
Kakashi: because she's tardy ?
Yura ; I will never be a wife. Forced to stay at home to do chores. I like my missions too much. That Mai ? Forget it.
