Ryoko finally lost her patience and decided to address the issue head-on. It was June already and it felt like not long ago the whole drama perspired, yet it has been over a year now. It was time. She stopped by Kakashi 's apartment and knocked.

No answer.

Casually she opened the door to check in case the idiot was avoiding her, but inside she found only a layer of dust. He was probably on a longer mission. This seemed like a divine intervention giving a sign - the time is not now.

The woman didn 't know if she should be relieved or annoyed by it. Something in her urged to settle the matter faster, but now Ryoko will just have to wait for Kakashi 's return.

Looking around the empty apartment she checked the fridge from habit ' There was a box of dango inside. 'Don 't mind if I do ' ' she smirked already munching on the sweets. Young Uchiha settled on the couch with one of his books in hand. It looked like a new issue of the Icha Icha series.
