Chapter 4
Friends and Family
"Now, now Kika," said a man with long black hair and green eyes. "Is that anyway to greet your sister's boyfriend?"
"Hi Uncle Joubu." said Mayu.
"Welcome home Mayu." Joubu greeted his niece. Joubu is the current head of the Kigaro Clan. Originally, Mayu's father was head of the family. When he died, Chiyuu was made the new head of the family. Then after her death, neither Mayu nor Kika wanted the position, so their uncle from another branch of the family had to take over.
"Please forgive Kika," said Joubu to Kakashi. "She's just concerned about her sister's well being."
"That's alright." said Kakashi. Like Mayu, Kika also had brown hair and green eyes. But unlike Mayu, Kika hair wasn't in a long braid, it was shoulder length. Also at that moment her eyes weren't kind and gentle like Mayu's. To Kakashi, it seemed like she was glaring at him with hate, and they only met a few minutes ago.
Then a 10 year-old boy who looked like a mini-version of Joubu entered the room, and he got excited when he saw Mayu.
"Mayu, you're back!"
"Hey, Yoshi how have you been doing?" Mayu asked the boy. Yoshi pulled out a headband and showed it to Mayu. "Look, I'm a genin now." he said. "That's great!" said Mayu.
Then she noticed that Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke weren't there. "Hey Kakashi, where are your students?" she asked him.
"They're in the guest rooms unpacking their stuff." Kakashi answered.
"Who's this guy?" asked Yoshi pointing to Kakashi.
"That's my boyfriend, Kakashi the Copy Ninja." answered Mayu.
"He's the Copy Ninja." exclaimed Yoshi. Then he looked Kakashi up and down. "I bet I could take you." he said to Kakashi. Kakashi sweat dropped.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you kid." said Mayu.
Then there was a knock at the door. Mayu answered the door. At the door were a man and a woman who appeared to be the same age as Mayu. The both wore the light blue Chunin vest of the Hidden Light Village. The woman had short blonde hair and blue eyes and the man had black hair and black eyes. "Yui! Keibo!" Mayu exclaimed in excitement as she hugged them both, causing Keibo to blush.
"Tama-sensei told us you were back." Yui told Mayu. Then she noticed Kakashi. "Who's that?" she asked. So then Mayu introduced them. "This is my new boyfriend, Kakashi." Keibo frowned the minute Mayu said boyfriend, but nobody noticed. "Kakashi, these are my friends Yui and Keibo. We were on the same team when we were genin."
"Hello." Kakashi greeted Yui and Keibo.
"Yui, Keibo, why don't you stay for dinner?" suggested Joubu.
"Thanks, we would love to." said Yui.
Later that night, Kakashi, Mayu, Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke, Joubu, Yoshi, Kika, Mayu's grandmother, Yui, and Keibo we all sitting around the large dinning room table in the Kigaro house. Everyone except Kakashi was eating.
"Aren't you going to eat anything Kakashi?" Joubu asked.
"I'm not hungry right now." said Kakashi.
"Do you always wear that mask?" asked Yoshi.
"Yes" replied Kakashi.
"Sometimes I think he was born with it on." said Mayu.
"So, Kakashi, how long have you and Mayu known each other?" asked Mayu's grandmother.
"About 4 months." said Kakashi.
"How did you two get together?" asked Yui.
"Um…" said Kakashi. He wasn't sure how do answer that question. He didn't want to say it was because Mayu had saved him when he was beaten to a bloody pulp because he had gone on a date with her.
"Let's just say I knocked him off his feet when we first met." said Mayu with a big grin.
"Oh ha ha. Very funny." said Kakashi sarcastically.
"How old are you?" Kika asked Kakashi.
"I'm 26." he answered.
Kika's eyes widened in shock. 'He looks way too old to be 26.' she thought.
"Three year age different, not bad." said Joubu.
After dinner, Kika pulled Keibo aside.
"Can I talk to you in private?" she asked.
"Sure." he said.
