Shikamaru: erm... Kakashi sensei.

Kakashi : oh. Shikamaru. Nice seeing you here. You aren't busy preparing for the war ?

Shikamaru: it's because of that... You're a hard person to catch . Kakashi sensei.

Kakashi sighed " tsunade-sama is a slave driver . I haven't seen my wife or Riz for a few days... "

Shikamaru : she's in the village isn't she ?

Kakashi : she's anbu head. She barely comes home and when she does... She only goes to go cuddle with Riz. How about me ?

Shikamaru sweatdrops" it's been hard on you. "

Kakashi : desho ?

Shikamaru: anyway. This is about mai.

Kakashi: then look for her directly.

Shikamaru: I'm afraid she may not agree...

Kakashi: so you want me to convince her ?

Shikamaru: kind of...

Kakashi walks past him and pats on his shoulder " good luck. "

Shikamaru: eh ? Eh ?!! Kakashi sensei ! Please ! It's important.

He stops in his steps and turns around " what is it ?"

________________________________

Shikamaru: so that is it. My father thinks Mai-san should stay in the village and hold the fort. Tsunade-sama thinks she's better on the front.

Kakashi: that's all ?

Shikamaru: I also think Mai-san is very reliable and hence the best to be holding fort here.

Kakashi: shikamaru, you've also grown. To think about things like that

Shikamaru: huh ? ... Ah... Um...

Kakashi: your father, shikaku already went to talk to mai and she said no right ?.

Shikamaru: Hai ....

Kakashi: then there's nothing to talk about.

Shikamaru: why ? I think you would think the same as us

Kakashi: it's true... Mai would be the best candidate. Less one mai wouldn't affect the winnings of the war very much. If anyone as a second anchor... She would be the best. She knows the resources to deploy when needed.

Shikamaru: then...!!

Kakashi: but shikamaru . I promised mai. She's my lover and wife before she's an anbu head.

" Finally. Can get home. Mai better be home waiting for me." He heads back home when he sees shikaku at his house downstairs " shikaku."

Shikaku ; could we have a talk ?

Kakashi ; I'm only a few steps from home. Tomorrow. Ok ?

Shikaku: you'll go off again.

Kakashi: mmm.... Fine.

That was what I was planning... It's so annoying that he's smart.

They sat down at the bench below the big tree.

Kakashi: what is it .

Shikaku: my son shikamaru came to find you this afternoon

Kakashi; what's this ? Pincer attack ?

Shikaku: I understand you love her very much. To say the truth, when I heard what my son said. I thought to myself , I really can't compare with you. ..... But... The village is important. I really can only think of trusting mai. I mean , who else could you trust.

Kakashi ; that's mean. Shikaku-san. You want me to choose

Shikaku ; Gomen. But as a konohagakure she should also do what fits her most. Isn't it ?

Kakashi ; I promise her. I won't stop her from doing what she wants. That was the other condition she made me abide.

Shikaku ; that promise so important?

Kakashi; It's not easy for a timid mai to agree to be my lover. Even harder for her to think of marrying me. She could do all these because I haven't broke my promises.

Shikaku: I see... You two have a kid. I don't think she will so easily think of leaving you.

Kakashi ; .... .... .... You don't know Mai well. I've always known her to do whatever she wants. I like to keep her by my side shikaku. It also seems like it's just you and your son's opinion at the moment.

Shikaku: I guess I'm the one sounding selfish huh. Gomen. Kakashi.

Kakashi stood up " .... I will talk to her. But I won't push it. "

Shikaku ; that's enough!! Arigatou!!
