"Alright, listen," Yuki said as she sat down across from Hiro who was still in the middle of eating his breakfast. "I stayed up late last night thinking and I know exactly how we're gonna get it."
Hiro rolled his eyes at her. She'd first mentioned obtaining a copy of the Kaitei from their mother over a month ago and when he listed all of the reasons why it would be completely and utterly impossible he thought that that had settled it.
Apparently not.
"I just don't think it's gonna work–"
"What are you two planning?" Sasuke asked as he walked into the kitchen, baby Itachi in one arm.
"Nothing, Uncle Sasuke. Just talking about squad drama," Yuki said coolly as if it were actually true.
Sasuke narrowed his eyes at her suspiciously. She was as good a liar as he was and he knew that she got it from him, so he couldn't really fault her for it. He grabbed a small bottle out of the fridge for baby Itachi and looked back over at them. "Fine then. Just don't get into too much trouble with whatever it is you're actually doing," he said as he made his way back into the bedroom.
Once the coast was clear, Yuki leaned in and whispered quietly. "Ok, so we have to do it when Uncle Sasuke is out–"
"He's off missions right now, stupid. He's still got a few months before he said he would go on any to help mom out with the baby."
Yuki put her hands up and waved them at him. "Shut up. I know that. But he runs errands plenty."
Hiro dropped his spoon into his bowl and looked at her incredulously. "You think that's gonna give us enough time to extract twenty-five years of memories from mom's head?!"
She nodded slowly, though she wasn't overly confident. "It's gonna have to, Hiro…"
He sighed as he pinched the bridge of his nose.
"Please help me with this. I wanna– I need to see dad again." She started to tear up as her face started shaking. "Please."
Hiro considered her and her plea. He knew she was desperate. He was too. They both missed him terribly, he just didn't think they'd be able to pull it off even if they had ample time.
"I know we can do this if we work together. We were trained by the best there is!"
He took a deep breath and pushed his bowl to the side. She seemed determined and her plans usually worked, she always was the more conniving of the two. "Fine. What do we have to do?"
