Why him? Why did it always have to be him? Sure, to let Ryoko go alone to Suna, where Konoha shinobi are not regarded well, would not be wise. But why does it have to be HIM going with HER? Kakashi sighed and turned to the village gates they were approaching.

'Ryoko-hime! ' the pair stopped and looked back to find Kabuto Yakushi briskly walking towards them.

'Go ahead, I 'll catch up, ' Ryoko said to him before moving towards Kabuto.

Kakashi 's eye narrowed slightly, but the man finally complied and walked ahead. He will just have to ask Ryoko later what this was about. She would answer him ' she always does ' Right? And that is exactly what the Copy Nin did when they finally left Konoha.

'Kabuto? Oh, he heard I was leaving to Suna for a while so he wanted to give me a letter. '

A letter? ' Why? ' What for? ' Was there something more between them?
