Just then Iruka rushes up to the two of them and taps Kakashi on the shoulder. Iruka says trying to catch his breath, "Kakashi the Hokage wants to see you right away." Kakashi turns to her, and says, "It looks like I have to go now. I'll see you later Aria."
She smiles, and responds, "Yes you will Kakashi bye." Kakashi takes off for the Hokage's office with Iruka following close behind him. Aria buys everything she needed and goes home.
~ We Follow Kakashi ~
Kakashi arrives at the Hokage's office and knocks on the door. Tsunade says, "You may enter." Kakashi walks into the office, and says, "Iruka said you wanted to see me Lady Tsunade."
She replies, "Yes Kakashi I did" she drops a large heavy folder on the desk. Then Tsunade says, "This is a list of complaints from male ninja about you. Do you care to tell me what's going on ?"
Kakashi asks, "What they're all hitting on Aria, and I just wanted to make sure they didn't do it again." Tsunade raises her eyebrow, and says, "Kakashi, Aria is able to handle guys like this, and you need to stop behaving like this."
Kakashi argues, "But Lady Tsunade I love her so much I can't help it." Tsunade crosses her arms, and says, "I think that you two need to spend some time apart so I'm sending you on a six-month mission you leave immediately."
Kakashi argues again, "But Tsunade I'm not packed, and I have to say goodbye to Aria." Tsunade responds, "I had Iruka pack for you, and he will tell Aria that you had to leave on a mission on short notice."
Kakashi argues yet again, "But…but Lady Tsunade!" She glares at him, and says, "The time apart will give you a chance to think about your actions, and to think about your relationship with Aria."
Kakashi angrily responds, "Fine I'll go but I love her no matter what you do to me." He takes his backpack from Iruka and takes off on the mission. Tsunade shakes her head, and asks, "What am I going to do with that man?"
Iruka asks Tsunade, "He has it bad for her doesn't he?" Tsunade responds, "I'm afraid he does."
~ We Join Aria ~
Iruka leaves the Hokage's office and heads to Aria's house. He knocks on the front door, and she answers it. Aria smiles, and says, "Oh hi Iruka what do you want?"
Iruka responds, "I'm here to let you know that Kakashi has been sent on a six-month mission that he had to leave for right away."
Aria replies kind of sadly, "Ok thank you for telling me Iruka." He says to her, "I'll see you around Aria" he takes off leaving her alone.
Aria decides to use her time wisely and heads over to Kakashi's apartment she climbs in through the window. Aria looks around his place and notices that it's a complete disaster area. Aria decides to start in the bathroom after several hours of scrubbing the bathroom is sparkling clean and organized. She shakes her head wondering how he lives like this Aria goes into the living room, and start to pick up lots of dirty clothes he has thrown all over the place.
She spends a lot of time over at his apartment cleaning, doing his laundry, she organizes everything, and she even fills his house with groceries. So most of the six months went by really fast although she did miss him a lot.
