Hiruzen (sandaime) : that's... Very unusual

Kakashi: do you think she's a good person? Sandaime.

Hiruzen: I don't know. But I'm thankful she didn't think of trying to infiltrate our anbu bases. Are you actually close with her ?

Kakashi: no... Not really. She just saved me and Gai once in the war. Then minato sensei saved her back once.

Can't tell sandaime about the other stuff.

Hiruzen : I see. I thought maybe she did it for you. Even as a rogue ninja, she is as talented as you.

Kakashi: hai. Do you think it's possible to take her in ?

Hiruzen : it would be beneficial to us if we took in someone like her. But... She is from kirigakure. Plus someone who is strong...

Kakashi: I understand.

____________________________________

In Hokage's office...

Hiruzen : arigatou for bringing this information to me.

Mika : just thought maybe you would be interested to pay me for this.

Hiruzen : you know, you're really good at this. Makes me want to take you in...

Mika : but I'm kirigakure

Hiruzen: gomen.

Mika ; it's ok. I understand the circumstances. I'm just glad you're nice enough to give me non related village missions allowing me to earn a keep.

Hiruzen ; I'm not the only village that hires you.

Mika : well... Other than my own village that recognises me as a rogue because I don't want to take village orders... I guess I can say I'm a bit popular right ?

Hiruzen smiled " well, I'm sorry we couldn't provide anything similar to a home here. "

Mika : it's not your fault. I chose this.

Hiruzen : right, kakashi just became jounin. You might want to go congratulate him.

Mika : hai. I will do that.

Hiruzen : you know, if you went back to your village, I'm sure you'll become a jounin too.

" I guess... " And she leaves.

After she left,knocks was heard from the door and Gai enters " hokage-sama" Gai puts a scroll on the table " report."

Hiruzen : I need you on another mission.

Gai takes a look at the new scroll " hokage-sama. I have a request."
____________________________________

Gai ; that's why... To celebrate that, how about we go on a mission together ?

Kakashi sweatdrops " how is that celebration ? "

Gai ; don't sweat on the details !!  Lets see who can complete it first !

Kakashi sweatdrops " no... I never agreed it "

Gai : I asked hokage-sama. He said ok.

Kakashi: no... Gai.

Gai ; come on !! Kakashi !!

Kakashi sighs " he's not listening... "

" Copy ninja ! " Mika waved from afar and walked towards him " omedeto."

Kakashi: Mizu Onna.

Gai : why don't you both call each other by names ? It's not like we three are not friends

Mika :  -_-""" friends... Are we... That ?

Kakashi; apparently.

Mika: I heard about your promotion. I know a place that serves the best sake.

Kakashi: it's always sake when it comes to you isn't it ?

Mika : Sakura village !! Sake taste best when under the prettiest sakura trees. The trees there are in full bloom, all, year, round.

Kakashi laughs a little " you sound more excited than me. "

Mika : my treat. Plus onsen.

Kakashi: now maybe that doesn't sound so bad.

Gai puts on a glum face " and mine doesn't ? "

Kakashi: erm... She has sake and onsen.

Gai: never mind !! The mission I got, is coincidentally also at the sakura village !!

Kakashi & Mika :  -_-  spoilsport
