I Love Ramen!
Bring! Bring!
It was lunchtime. We all stood up from our seats and walked out of the conference room, completely silent. Maybe because we were too busy being engrossed in our folders. As we walked out of the registration office, the hallways were packed with students. Suddenly, I felt someone touch my arm. It was Konan.
"C'mon, let's get some lunch!" she said, pulling me through the crowd of people.
When we got to the cafeteria, a long line was present. The cafeteria counters had red Japanese lanterns with the kanji that read 'eat' in solid black lettering.
"Cool. It looks like we'll have Japanese cuisine here today." Konan said, looking at the food.
"Naruto, you baka! Don't you know that eating too much ramen is bad for your health? It's full of carbs and cholesterol!" I heard a very familiar voice complain. I glanced back to see Sakura nagging Naruto in an irritated tone.
"But Sakura-chaaaaaaan, it's so good!" Naruto whined, holding his frog shaped wallet in his hands.
"Bah, whatever. Do whatever the hell you want to do. Eat anything you want to. I mean, I was only trying to give you some 'friendly advice' (Yeah, right)!" She harrumphed, storming away, with Naruto following close behind her. "Sakura-chan! Gomen!" he pleaded as they both exited the cafeteria. I honestly felt sad for Naruto. Yeah, yeah, I didn't know him that very well but still. This is what happens whenever Sakura reigns supreme.
"…Tomomi? Hello? Earth to Tomomi here! What're you looking at?" Konan said, waving a hand in front of my face. I quickly shook my head and muttered a 'nothing' under my breath, turning my attention to the trays.
"Here," I said, giving one to Konan. We looked at the wide variety of sushi and got a pair of tongs.
"Ooh! They have kani maki!" I squealed, putting a few wrapped and individual pieces on my tray. After getting sushi from the sushi bar, we saw a wide variety of Japanese meals.
"What're you getting?" I asked Konan, who was looking at the menu. "Hmm… ebi tempura…" Konan said uncertainly before smiling. "Ebi tempura, please!" She said to the lunch lady, who then shouted at the kitchen to make her order. "I want ramen! Pork ramen!" I exclaimed, grinning at the lunch lady. Then, we received our order and went to the beverage section, where the drinks were buried in ice. There were many kinds of drinks, really. There was even peach soda! Konan fished out a can of peach tea and I took out a bottle of green tea. Then, we paid for our food, got our eating utensils and sat with the rest of the Akatsuki. At the table, Konan took her seat across Pein and I sat by Tobi, who tilted his mask up a fraction as he ate his dango quite messily. I curiously looked at his lips, wondering what he looked like. "Hi, Tomomi-chan!" Tobi greeted before resuming on eating his lunch. Then, he finally got here. He had boiled eggs in surimi on his tray along with a can of Pepsi. As soon as he saw me, he scowled. I scowled back and scowled even more when he took his seat on the only empty spot… which was right next to me.
"MOVE, yeah!" He said, nudging my leg with his foot. No, actually, he just kicked me, right in the shin.
"Bastard," I muttered under my breath, telling Tobi to scoot over a little.
He sat down and set his tray on the table, digging into his food as if he hadn't eaten in ages. I gave him a slightly disgusted look before taking in a spoonful of ramen. And all of a sudden, my eyes held a starry gaze as I looked at my ramen bowl. Ah, ramen, I thought. It's so good! I mean, how could it NOT be good? Tasty clear soup, delicious noodles, fresh vegetables and most importantly, roasted pork! I snapped out of my trance and continued eating.
"Deidara-kun!" a high-pitched voice 'seductively' (Yeah, right) called out. We all turned to see yet another busty girl. This time, the girl had platinum blonde hair and blue contacts. Yes, they're contacts. They're just a solid cerulean blue. "I think you forgot something, hmm?" Deidara replied sneaking a black piece of cloth in her manicured hand. After a second's thought on what that thing was, I got my cringe on. Ohh… Ew, oh, HELL no! It's her underwear!
"Thanks, baby! See you tonight?" She exclaimed, stuffing it in her jacket pocket. He nodded, winking at her as she walked (sauntered) away.
"You f*cking pimp!" Hidan exclaimed, giving a hearty laugh, high-fiving it with Kisame. I rolled my eyes and tried to focus on my food, but I couldn't help but steal a glance at Deidara. He was laughing along with them and grinning and I couldn't help but stare. He's got a nice laugh… I absent-mindedly thought. Then, I mentally slapped myself as soon as my mind processed it. I looked away, focusing on my ramen. I honestly didn't know why I was acting like this. I mean, he just kicked me in the shin! And yet, I couldn't stop this slight bubbly feeling in my stomach as I felt my cheeks go warm. I shook the thoughts out of my head, focusing on eating my food before it got cold.
I sighed, opening up a packet of soy sauce and putting it in a saucer. Then, I opened up my sushi and ate it one by one. After eating my food, I sat, looking at my empty ramen bowl as the bell rang.
I stood up, along other Akatsuki members, having only one thought ring clear through my mind:
Damn hormones.
How was it? Did it suck? Sorry if it was short. It was only a filler chapter. And maybe you've noticed that Tomomi's starting to have a tiny crush on Deidara! Please review on my grammar, plot and on my OC, Tomomi. If any of the original Naruto! characters are OOC, please do tell!

P.S. I will be making a new story in the near future. The pairing's undecided but I've already formulated a plot. I think I'll have the first chapter posted in a month, if not next week or the week after that. Thanks again for all of your reviews!
