Mai was sharing her assortment of fruits of grapes, oranges , lychees with her teammates.
Tamazuki: these are real sweet.
Tenzo: even the oranges.
Hera ; this must be expensive
Enjin ; stop eating you guys. It's going to be finished.
Mai ; it's ok it's ok. Kakashi bought it for me as a birthday gift.
Tenzo: here I was thinking, it's so unlike you to buy expensive fruits.
Mai: hehehe. Birthday presents are great !
________________________________
Mai ; Kakashi ! Welcome back !
Kakashi: I know that smile... Waiting for me at my house. What is it ?
Mai : the fruits you bought were so yummy.
Kakashi: they were the best. The seller said anyway. You foodie.
Mai ; hehe. Can you buy me another box ?
Kakashi: that was supposed to last you a month !
Mai : I'm sharing. It's all gone now.
Kakashi: no. One box. That's your present.
Mai : I cooked dinner.
Kakashi: I cook sometimes. You cook sometimes. We take turns.
Mai : bossy meanie. Here you go.
Kakashi takes over the scroll " what's this ?"
Mai ; I set a deadlock to my apartment. This is the only key. Oh. And a spare one with tenzo. In case you're too busy.
Kakashi: deadlock? Why would you do something like that ? That lock on your door is secure enough. In fact , no one locks their door like you.
Mai ; I kept some things in there I don't want some people to know. Especially the Foundation. Also... In case.... I need to hide me or something or someone in there because maybe I died already so I hid it there.
Kakashi: going for a solo mission ? Or just being prepared?
Mai : just being prepared.
Kakashi opens the scroll " easy enough to use."
Mai: it will only recognise its owner in order to unlock. You won't die , no, can't die before me. So the door will unlock but only for you. Or tenzo.
Kakashi: brute force won't work huh ?
Mai ; I tested. As a prison for some ruly jounin level ninjas. Doesn't break at all.
Kakashi: I see. But it will break after some time right ?
Mai : If sandaime doesn't go crazy on it. If he tries to blow a hole in it destroying the whole entire building along with it.... Everything in it will likely be destroyed too. Based on luck then.
Kakashi: I get your point. I see why you gave it to me. I'm the other potential person who could destroy it.
Mai ; hehe.
Kakashi: not worried for danzou?
Mai ; he tries that bullshit in the village I'm sure sandaime would be there to stop him by then.
Kakashi: I see. That makes sense.
Mai ; one more tiny detail...
Kakashi: which is ?
" The lock face of the deadlock... Is not on my door. " She points to the blank space on the wall that was hindered by the cabinet " it's there."
Kakashi: eh ?!! In my apartment ?
Kakashi: I see.
Mai ; your wall might need to be destroyed. Hehe. Sorry.
Kakashi: then compensate me in advance.
Mai ; don't be like that. I could be the one inside. You would have to save me.
Kakashi: I assume destroying the wall does not destroy your deadlock barrier.
Mai ; nope. The apartment walls are like a balloon for a sculpture. Just a frame of reference for the barriers.
Kakashi: alright. I'll keep this. Could I....also keep some things with you ?
Mai ; of course!! It's my safe ! Kakashi can always use it . I promise I won't look. I will label a box for you.
Kakashi: arigatou.
Little did I know... The day would actually come that the deadlock would actually be used...
Mai ; Kakashi. My parents harass you ? After the dinner.
Kakashi: why would you think that ? They're nice people.
Mai : she always nags me. My mama.
Kakashi: she didn't. She thanked me for all sorts of things.
Mai ; sighs. For what. Like I don't help you. But... Erm... Thanks. For standing in while I left.
Kakashi: you... You kinda knew you might leave halfway right ? That's why you asked me to come.
Mai ; heh ... Mama especially made all those things for me... Prepared and stuff... It's better if there's someone to eat it all.
Kakashi: ok ! You owe me one.
Mai : that's not how this works !! You're my friend. Aren't you ?!!
Kakashi: huh ? We're just neighbours
Mai ; we were team mates !!
Kakashi: were.
Mai ; Kakashi Hatake !!! Bossy meanie !!
