She hugs onto the yukata with one arm... And cried.
Why does this have to feel so painful?

Kakashi opens the communication seal " Nina. I know you don't want to hear my voice... Seeing you never answered me . Gomen. We won't go out again. Talk to me. Please. "
There was no reply again.
______________________________
Kakashi: done.
Hiruzen: you seem kind of down lately. Like... Too serious.
Kakashi: is that so?
Hiruzen: what's going on?
Kakashi: nothing much.
Hiruzen: you should tell me. Maybe I can help you.
Kakashi: well...
Hiruzen: is it about the girlfriend?
Kakashi: San daime knows?
Hiruzen: Well... The anbu told me. You were holding a girl's hand the other day. I don't really know who she is. But the way she wears her mask... Is really like you. That's what that anbu said.
Kakashi: is that so?
Hiruzen: what happened?
Kakashi: she's really shy. I think I overdid it... Now she won't even talk to me.
Hiruzen: I see... Apologise.
Kakashi: I did that.
Hiruzen: I see... I can't really help you. Gomen. I guess you have to try to see her and talk to her.
Kakashi: I used to know when she would return back on missions so I could go look for her. But now... I don't.
Hiruzen: who is she? Maybe I can do a little favour~
Kakashi: haha. Wouldn't that be asking you to abuse your power?
Hiruzen: well... It's ok since I'm the one send people out. Come on.
Kakashi: then... You have to promise me not to tell anyone. She's really really shy.
Hiruzen: ok ok. Who?
Kakashi: Nina.
Hiruzen: Nina?! The one with no last name?! That one?! Ha! It is right?
He blushes a little " hai.... That Nina. "
" I will help you. Let's see... " He flips through scrolls" there. " He takes out a scroll and applies chakra on the seal. The seal opens.
Hiruzen: Nina.
" Hai? " Nina's voice came through .
Hiruzen: how's the mission?
Nina: done. Returning to konoha. San daime.
Hiruzen: when?
Nina: if I rush, I can reach tonight. Is there something urgent?
Hiruzen: there is. Hurry up and return .
Nina: hai. I understand.
The seal closes.
Hiruzen smirks " there. A big help. "
Kakashi: thanks a lot San daime.
Hiruzen: now go prepare to talk to her.

She opens the door of her house with an exhausted face " ah... Tired... Sleep."
Kakashi: gomen.
She looks up ".... Kakashi... "
Kakashi: gomen. Don't leave me. I can't stand it that you don't talk to me anymore. Your voice no longer comes through my head anymore. I miss you.
Nina: you can't keep infiltrating my house.
Kakashi: I made some soup for you.
Nina: arigato. But you should leave.
Kakashi: did you hear all the things I said to you?
Nina: .... I did.
Kakashi: why? Why break off with me like that?
Nina: I'm not normal.
" I don't need normal. " He stepped towards her. She took a step back.
Kakashi: I... I don't need normal. We can not go out on dates. We can stay at home like we always do.
Nina: people will ask.
Kakashi: I'm single. But I have a secret girlfriend I can't tell about. We have fun at home doing things she likes and I like. I never had any desire to go on a date. Nina. You wanted it. I'm satisfied with just staying at home. You teleport to my house via that seal you secretly placed behind my shoe cupboard and I teleport to yours by the seal you placed in your house. I like this relationship.
Nina: you do?
Kakashi: I do.
Nina: .... Really? You'll have to be like that with me for... A long long long... Time...
He walked towards her and hugged her " I really do. You were the one who started to become greedy. You silly. Is your arm alright?" She nods " gomen..."
Kakashi: you'll talk to me again?
Nina: um. My fault.
Kakashi: alright then. Shall we do the things you like today?
Nina: you cooked seaweed miso soup?
Kakashi: um.
She hugs back with a smile " arigato. "
