“I have no doubt that is at least part of the reason; I did raise him after all” Kakashi replied with a nod as he sat down at the table to watch Airi work “And both you and him know me too well” he admitted with a soft sigh. For as much as he didn’t keep track of how often it had crossed his mind, Airi was still spot on with her guess of how he had been dealing with the situation. Hence why Akino was forcing the issue, the dog knew that when it came to normal Kakashi’s trained instincts would hinder rather than help, for Kakashi was bad at prioritizing his own happiness.

It was part of the reason why Kakashi was speechless at Airi’s offer of help; it was proof that there was once again someone else that cared for him beyond just as a comrade in arms. It was comforting, and the cynical part of Kakashi finally relented. The other reason he was struck speechless was out of a shocked amusement, as he had offered her the same help only a few weeks ago, for nearly the same issue. ‘We are hopless’ he mused silently at the turn of events.

Turning his attention back to Airi he let out a light chuckle at her appearance, it was adorable, and went a long way to explaining why her scent was always tinged with flour. “As a matter of fact, I don’t have any powdered sugar” Kakashi would state with a hit of disappointment, knowing full well that he had some with his tools, it made for a better blinding powder “But if crushed sugar works just as well” he would continue on as he walked in to the kitchen to get the needed things to try and powder sugar, it wasn’t something he had done before, and he fully expected to somehow end up covered in sugar in his attempt. But that wasn’t going to stop him; in fact he might make sure it happened just to see if he could get a laugh out of Airi.

With a short sigh Sarutobi watched Guy take off in search of his fiancée, leaving behind his students in his panic. He was glad that he had chosen to inform the man of that event at the end of the debriefing as he was worried something like this would happen. As Guy was a very passionate person. He waved the genin out of his office in silent dismissal, as he turned back to the paper work he was finishing up; it was the summons for Kakashi. 

He waited until the genin had left before rolling it up he passed it off to one of the Anbu stationed in the room [color=silver]“Please make sure that this gets to Kakashi before Gai does.”[/color] The Hokage requested as he had a feeling that Kakashi and Guy would soon be on uneasy terms with each other, if he was correct in his belief of why Kakashi has stormed off after Miss Mae last night.
