Jiraiya burps as he drinks a cup of sale at the counter " one more. "

" I need to close. You're the last customer. " she pours him the last cup " finish this and go. "

Jiraiya: don't be like that.

" Lady nioka. Still open ? " Kakashi walked in.

Nioka: teasing me. What do you want ?

Kakashi: not for information this time. I promise. I just thought if I could have a plate of fried rice for dinner .

Nioka : it's 2am. You mean supper?

Kakashi seats one seat away from jiraiya and sweat drops " is he drunk ?" She goes to the kitchen and shouts from inside " as usual !! "

Kakashi sighs " I see . " He goes to the kitchen and sees her cook fried rice " any interesting thing happened today ? "

Nioka : not really. Today was unusually peaceful. I didn't have to throw anyone out

Kakashi: I see. That great then.

Nioka : how about you ? How's your mission ?

Kakashi : as usual.

She serves the fried rice on the plate " when will you be leaving again ? Busy  ninja. " He takes a spoon and starts eating the fried rice " two days later. "

Nioka : no wonder you came today. If not you would be tired tomorrow cos you wouldn't get much rest today .

Kakashi : worried about me ?

" .... it's not that kind of thing. Are you still hungry ? " She walks away to the fridge and opens it. " Want a soft drink ? "

Kakashi: drinking soft drink in a bar. Wouldn't that be expensive ?

Nioka : I charge reasonably !! Teh!! I never really charged you everytime you come here when I almost close. You do that on purpose ?!!

He laughs a little " maybe. Cos I want you to focus on me more. " She blushed a little " finish your food... I'll go call jiraiya-san up and get him to leave. " And leaves the kitchen.

She starts to close up the store as kakashi waits outside the store and watches as she does it.

Nioka : you can go home first you know .

Kakashi : I want to wait for you. Go out with me tomorrow.

She looked to him back right in the eye " date ? "

Kakashi : date.

Nioka : ....... You're a customer.

Kakashi: you made rules you can't date a customer ?

Nioka : no. But you already owe me an entire bill for never paying for the food you eat at my bar.

Kakashi: because you like me ?

Nioka ; because you used to be my anbu taichou. I'm nice to you.

Kakashi: so date ?

Nioka : ... ... I have to open store tomorrow.

Kakashi : they can open without you.

Nioka : ... Ok...
