Kakashi walked back into his house and looked around. It seems that Ryuu wasn't home yet. It made him wonder when exactly did he leave, and how long he's been gone. He walked into the kitchen, taking off his flak jacket and setting it down beside his bed. There, was an open book and a few notes written.

I'll probably be gone until tonight. So here's how to make dinner. I even specified the instructions for you! Just so you know, don't expect it to be perfect if this is the first meal you actually made. Though, I have a feeling you know how to make this.

Kakashi looked at the open book, it was a cookbook as anyone could see. He read it over and it sounded familiar. Might as well try it out.

As he went through the instructions, it actually did sound familiar. It was probably something that his father used to make. He was to young to learn any of the things he made. He got to help in some places, but that was it.

So Kakashi rolled up his sleeves and got to work.

I sat down in my hotel room and leaned back on the bed, looking out the window. Minato had sent me out again and said that I'm staying until called back. I needed to familiarize myself with the people here so it wasn't to strange seeing me around. I would be known as a regular, and no questions asked.

Knock knock. "Are you in there Mr. Hatake?"

I smiled to myself. Kakashi shouldn't mind that I'm using his name. I am family after all.

"I'm here." I said.

The door opened and the girl walked in. She had long black hair and dark eyes. She honestly was quite the beautiful lady. Had the figure, the voice, and don't get me started on her laughter.

Anyway.

She walked in, holding a letter in her hands. It had a wax seal on it with fancy designs. Was I already in trouble with someone?

"Thank you. You have a good night. Okay?"

She smiled and nodded. "You to Mr. Hatake."

I returned her smile until the door closed. Then it immediately disappeared as I held the letter out in front of me, the fading light shining onto it. It didn't appear to be dangerous in any way...It had precautions placed so that I had to open it though.

I shrugged and set the letter down on my bedside table. Then I opened the letter with a kunai.

No explosions.

I looked inside to see a simple folded paper. I pulled it out and examined it before opening it. I held the unfolded, empty paper up to the light. It seemed there was nothing written on it on both sides. I looked around, as if something in my room could possibly help me with an empty letter. But alas, nothing. No lemon juice or any juice.

I folded the paper back up and put everything back into the envelope. I left it on the table before I threw myself onto my bed. Might as well rest. And if my assumption is correct, the envelope will be gone when I wake up. Good thing I'm a heavy sleeper or else this wouldn't go so smoothly. I had to play into their hands, whoever it was. As far as I knew, this wasn't even that stupid Karma Council thing. Could just be common thieves. I've had my fare share of learning how to steal from someone.

It has been two weeks sense Ryuu has left on his mission. He understood that the whole reason Ryuu was even here was to go on a mission for the Hokage. His sword was missing, and it was annoying him to no end. He kind of needed that sword. It was his main weapon. And also, with the missing pictures and mementoes, he felt on edge all the time. It was just something about knowing those pictures weren't with him. To remind him that there was once good times. The bad times plague his mind all the time. He needed the reminder.

"Kakashi! My eternal rival!"

Kakashi closed his eye and sighed.

"I have come up with another challenge for us!" Guy declared.

Kakashi looked at him boredly. "What is it this time?" He asked.

"Rock Paper Scissors!"

"A child's game?" Kakashi said, clearly expecting something at least a little better.

"Not just a child's game!" Guy said. "It's a matter of luck! And if you win, then I'll do twenty laps around the village without stopping!"

"You're going to pass out if you do that." Kakashi muttered under his breath. "Hey. I have a crazy rule of my own I'd like to put in."

Guy gasped. "Really!? Yes! Let's hear it my eternal rival!"

Kakashi nodded. "It's simple. I have to win using paper."

Guy looked at him with a look of total confusion. "What? Only paper?"

Kakashi nodded. "Yeah. But, say if I beat you with rock or scissors, you loose as well. So it will end up being a tie." Kakashi explained. He knew Guy wasn't stupid. The gears were turning in his head with every word Kakashi said. "If we both play paper, then it's still a tie. So, if you play anything but paper, you'd win."

"You just told me how to beat you..." Guy said thoughtfully.

Kakashi shrugged. "I'll let you think about it. Are we going on three?"

"Yes!" Guy said, pumping his fist into the air. "Are you ready!?" He asked as he got into a dramatic position.

Kakashi just held up one fist. "Yep."

"Rock...Paper...Scissors!"

Both hands met in the middle. Kakashi held up a rock. And Guy held up scissors.

"What!" Guy shouted. "You said you'd play paper."

"Ah, but you thought ahead of that, didn't you." Kakashi smiled. "You knew there was still a way for us to tie, but I could only win using paper. You probably thought that I was trying to get you to use scissors. So you would use rock. But then, you had a second thought. What if I was being serious? And you thought it over all over again. And you came to the conclusion again that I would be playing paper. But, as you can see, I played rock."

Hello guys! Ryuu here. Thanks for all your feedback. I loved it! Can any of you find out where I got the idea for Rock Paper Scissors? If you can you earn the privilege of getting to see my super secret jutsu. The one that gives me dragon wings. :) Anyway, love you all.
