"Rin, you know, I hardly get to see you anymore nowadays," Kakashi was telling her one day.  He still hadn't passed any students, and was working on more of a flexi hour type of concept.

"But I AM on night duty, and you are hardly around during the day…" Rin told her brother.

"Yes, but you seem slightly more busy, these 3 months, did something…come up?" Kakashi asked her.

"Like what?" Rin asked innocently.  She knew what he was asking about, but really wanted to torment him a little.

"Like a boyfriend, or seeing anybody…?" Kakashi asked her, and Rin turned to look at him.

"Well, now that you mention it, I kind of do remember getting a steady a couple of months ago…" Rin wondered out loud and Kakashi's eye seemed to widen a little.

"It doesn't matter if you don't believe me, but I have said the truth." Rin said, and yawned.  "I'm going to bed.  Oyasumi."  That said, a stunned Kakashi stared after her.

On her next date with Ibiki, she told him about what happened with Kakashi, and said that he might be following them on one of their dates.

"That's ok," Ibiki replied.  "We don't have anything to hide anyway,"

"I just want to see the look on his face when he actually realizes that I was telling the truth!" Rin told him.  Unfortunately, she was going to miss it.  Kakashi was following her that time, and could only stare after her.  It was hard to believe that any of it for was real…
