There were so many things for Kakashi to think about that he ignored all of them and just went to sleep back home. His mind was emotionally exhausted from the day he had. Only in the middle of the night, when his eyes opened again, did Kakashi curse out loud.

It was all sensei 's fault! If not for Minato 's meddling, maybe he would still have a friend. What was the man thinking sending gift in

his

name? And to Ryoko of all people! Of course, she would misunderstand it and assume there is something when there absolutely isn 't.

Even Kakashi was fooled by that stupid necklace. But on the other hand, even if Ryoko got a gift from 'him ' why would she ever assume anything but a challenge of it? Kakashi thought long and hard but he could not recall a single instance where his own actions would have given the girl the wrong impression.
