Mai caught up with the group that was travelling backwards to the nation guarding and sending akko back.
She has travelled in secret for a few days. Though she means secret, all the shinobis on the mission knew she was there in secret. Only akko didn't.
" Why are you sleeping here ?"
She opened her eyes and realises Kakashi was squatting on the tree branch next to the spot where she was leaning against the tree trunk she has fell asleep on " what the..."
Kakashi: you're on a mission right. Don't slack.
Mai ; if fighting happens below I will know. Don't worry. Yawns.
Kakashi: why don't you head down and let akko know you're here ?
Mai ; she needs to be independent. She could make the decision to pay her way back home. Means she wants to go home and claim back what's hers. I can only guard her
Kakashi: you're so harsh.
Mai ; it's not like she's my daughter.
Kakashi: you thought of having children ?
Mai ; Hera has three children. Her husband takes care of them. She often talks about how naughty they are. Makes me think ... But I won't just marry anyone just to have a child.
Kakashi: and you're not the type for one night stand neh.
Mai ; oh shut up. Why are you here ?
Kakashi: you've always been my backup. I thought I would be yours this time.
Mai ; sandaime let you leave the village ?
Kakashi: I'm kind of on holiday. He won't take responsibility for what I do.
Mai ; oh...so why are you here ?
Kakashi: you've always been my backup. I can be yours on this .
Mai ; .... .... .... ....
Kakashi: what's with that look ?
Mai : no... Just ... I never thought you would say that. You're just the always bully people Kakashi. Hehe. That's kind of nice .

They had met with several attacks while they try to escort the princess back. Everything was manageable and they finally reached the entrance of her country's kingdom.
Kakashi: your work here isn't done right ?
Mai takes off her mask and goes over to akko. She taps onto akko's shoulder. Akko turned around " nee-san!! I knew it was you !!" Akko hugs her.
Mai lets her but doesn't return it. " Akko. You are royalty. You understand the weight in that ?"
Akko : .... I've always understood... Everyone has expectations in me.
Mai ; you will have minister Arai to support you. He sent the sos. That's how much he wants you and this kingdom to thrive.
Akko ; I know . Nee-san. Could you protect me ? While I become... Queen. I will try my best to be the Queen that everyone needs. So... Could you be my protector?
Mai wears back her mask " I'm anbu. I don't work for anyone but for my village."
Akko's tears fall " oh..."
Kakashi came over " but we will be staying for a while because nee-san wants to help you clear out the bad guys. "
Akko's eyes lighten up " ok ! "
