Kakashi : ohaiyo.

Nioka opens her eyes dazily " kakashi... Ohaiyo. Don't you have missions ? How come you're home this time ?"

Kakashi: what time ? It's morning. It's time for breakfast

Nioka : huh... Ah.

She drags her feet to the fridge and opens it. That's when she sees an arm come across her cheek reaching for a milk carton inside. The hand then takes a few eggs, " how about an omelette ? " The voice said by her ears. She turned around and hugged him " um. "

" Gomen. Have I taken you for granted? " He cups her head. She shakes her head " I'm kakashi's home."

Kakashi : but I'm not here for you, to be your home.

She squeezes him in " don't go... Today. Ok ? "

He was silent once again.

Pakkun ; yo. Kakashi. What's up ?

Kakashi: I'm worried about nioka.

Pakkun: what happened ?

Kakashi: she looks depressed . I'm afraid one day she might do something silly. I want to stay by her but...

Pakkun: you want me to send a dog to look after her ?

Kakashi: is it possible ?

Pakkun: you know you can just buy a normal dog from a pet store. You don't need especially a ninja dog.

Kakashi: I know... I know... It's just... A ninja dog can talk.

Pakkun sighs " I got it. Just for you and the nice lady. Cos she always gives us free food. "

Nioka ; it's ok. No one is waiting for me at home anyway.

Nioka closes the metal gate " night. Kira. "

Kira: night. Boss.

Kakashi : nioka.

Nioka turned around " kakashi. How come... You're here. " She smiled a little " aren't you free today ? And a little bit full of surprises. If tsunade-sama knew you skipped off early from work, she would nag you. "

Kakashi: because I feel guilty I made you wait in an empty home.

Nioka : it's not your fault.

" That's why I'm here ! " A shiba inu ninja dog comes out with a wagging tail " I'm this guy's sorry gift." She squatted down and the dog ran into her arms. She carries the dog up " what's your name ? "

" Akanu "

Nioka scratches akanu's chin "kawaii. Hehehe."

Akanu : aww... So good.

Kakashi walks towards her " I promise, give us some time. This will look like a home for us. " She puts akanu down and hugs him in and her tears fell " kakashi. "
