" okaeri ! " Riz runs to Kakashi. He carries her up " where's mama ?"

Riz : mama fell asleep in my room. I heard you came back !

Kakashi ; papa sleep with Riz today ?

Riz shakes her head " Riz is big girl now. Riz can sleep herself. Papa and Mama sleep together."

Kakashi ; so nice to let mama for me ?

Riz nods " I love papa a lot a lot ! So I can give mama to papa. Plus... Papa seem to miss mama a lot. Always come my room to peep. "

Kakashi : couldn't it be for you ?

Riz shakes her head " papa always kiss my forehead and then hover over mama. "

Kakashi flicks her forehead

Riz ; ouch !! Papa !!

Kakashi : so you weren't sleeping

He carries her to their bed. She opens her eyes slightly " Kakashi... Okaeri... "

Kakashi : tadaima.

She sits up " Gomen. Wanted to wait for you. "

Kakashi ; it's ok.

Mai ; your talk with shikaku took too long.

Kakashi ; so you noticed.

Mai ; he's so stubborn.

Kakashi: so you know already.

Mai ; tsunade-sama told me to make my own decision. She will make arrangements. I choose war , I get my old team. I choose stay, Hur Hur.... I'll be trapped in the office.

Kakashi : which do you want ?

Mai ; I didn't give an answer to shikaku. Been ignoring him and just nodding to whatever he says. No response. So... I guess he got antsy.

He sweatdrops " you're a monster."

Mai ; you've always kept your promises... I don't want you to die in the war. You have to continue to keep that promise.  So... I'll put this decision in your hands. Stay . Or go.

Kakashi ; what do you want ?

Mai ; I don't know. I love you Kakashi. I want to do what you want too.

Kakashi ; then... Stay... Wait for me here with riz. Wait for me to return. This way I'll be able to keep a home.

Mai kisses him on the cheek " um. We'll wait for you to return. Alive. As promised. "

Mai carried Riz in her arms " say bye bye and ask him to come back."

Riz kisses Kakashi on the cheek " papa come back come back. "

Kakashi : of course.

Riz waved " bye bye papa. Come back come back. "

Kakashi ; take care.

Mai : don't break your promise. Just ... Don't. Ok ?

Kakashi ; um. I won't.

The two waved goodbye as Kakashi kept looking back as he left the gate for ninja world war three.
