"Come, brother. We must get back to Odin," Loki said.

"Very well, brother," Thor replied.

"Be careful, boy," I said to Loki.

"Of course," Loki agreed.

"I will see you back in Asgard, brother," Thor said, swinging his hammer around and taking off into the sky.

"Come on, Hatake. It's time we return home," I said.

"Let's go," Kakashi said, grunting as he stood.

"Send the kids my regards, High Lord," I called as I stepped up onto Aurora's saddle. I helped Kakashi up a moment later.

"I'm sure they'll be thrilled to know you called them children," Rhysand said.

"If they don't want me treating them like a bunch of five year old kids, tell them to stop acting like children and I might," I replied.

"Be careful," Mor said, worriedly.

"I will be, my dear," I said, smiling softly. Aurora took off a few moments later. I was worried about Kakashi and Leo. I know Mor could take care of Leo. I just didn't know if I could take care of Kakashi. That uncertainty had me extremely worried.

"You're worried about me, aren't you?" Kakashi asked.

"Yeah. You got hurt because of me, Kakashi," I replied.

"Don't blame yourself, Rin," he said softly.

"It's hard not to," I said.

"I know, Rin. When you're ready, I'm here, okay? No matter if it's three in the morning or three in the afternoon. You hear?" he asked.

"Loud and clear," I replied.

Tell him, Aurora ordered.

I will. I'm just not sure when, I replied.

Good, Aurora responded. We landed on the Hokage Mountain a few minutes later.

"Thanks, Aurora," I whispered, pressing my forehead against her scales.

Take care of yourselves, youngling, she said.

"I will," I replied.

"Kakashi! Get away from her!" Asuma yelled.

"What? Why?" Kakashi asked.

"She's been classified as a rogue ninja," Kurenai answered.

"Oh, look. Another title given to me by someone that doesn't know everything," I growled.

"What are you talking about?" Kurenai asked.

"I am dead, a rogue ninja, and a monster that can't be reasoned with. At least, according to what you have been told," I replied.

"Do you really think one of the Elders would lie to us?" Asuma questioned.

"If it meant I would die, yes. By Kami, so many would," I answered.

"But... you're the same age as us," Kurenai said softly.

"Just because we are the same age does not mean we have the same morals," I said. "Isn't that right, Captain?"

"You are to be addressing yourself in that manner from now on," he ordered.

"So I get your job because you're retiring?" I questioned.
