Sakura : kakashi sensei. Is it ok to bring us into this store ? Isn't it for adults ?

Kakashi: most adults enter here. But that doesn't mean , you guys can't. It's half a bar and half a place to eat food.

They go inside and gets a table.

Naruto : is this your treat ? Kakashi sensei.

Kakashi: um. Sure.

Naruto : that means we can order anything we want ?

Kakashi: um.

" yes !!! " Sakura and Naruto cheered.

" Kakashi! Oh! These must be your students. Sasuke. Naruto. And sakura. Right? " Nioka placed several tea cups in front of them.

Sasuke: you know us?

Nioka : let's just say I've been wanting to see you guys.

Sasuke ; why ?

Kakashi: sasuke. Don't be so hostile.

" Lady hatake !! Another sake please !!" Another customer shouted. She left their table " coming!!"

Naruto : hatake... kakashi sensei. She's your sister ?

Kakashi: nope.

Sakura : cousin ?

That was when nioka returned to their table with three bowls of ramen. Three extra bags of takeout. One each for the students.

Sakura : what are these ?

Nioka : gyoza. For you guys to bring back eat for dinner. It's on me. Ok.

Naruto : why does sakura-chan get extra ?

Nioka : she has family at home she can share with.

Naruto ; oh...

Sasuke : arigato.

Naruto : neh neh nee-chan. How are you related to kakashi sensei ?

Nioka : would you believe me if I said we were just two people who coincidentally had the same last name ?

Sakura ; I see...

Nioka ; what did I do ?

Kakashi: redirecting their question with another question. What if they didn't believe you ?

Nioka : you that scared people find out ? ~~

Kakashi : that's not what I mean ~~

Nioka : everyone thinks I'm just someone who coincidentally has the same last name as you. Because you looks so...

Kakashi: so ...?

Nioka : so unmarriable .

Kakashi laughed " what ? Many girls like me ok. "

Nioka : precisely !! And you reject all of them. Unmarriable!!

Kakashi: that's cos I only have eyes for you

Nioka : mushy...

He lets go off his hug " what's for dinner ? " He takes his vest from her to put it into the laundry basket.

Nioka : none. I got too busy at the shop today. Go out and eat ?

Kakashi: um. Sure.
