Chapter Ten

Yukio and Naruto made it to his apartment after some time of touring the village. They had met up with Sakura on the tour, and apologized for her mother not allowing Yukio staying indefinitely in the place. In effect, Yukio was going to live with Naruto. After the high-energy tour, Naruto was exuberant and Yukio was exhausted. She slumped against the side of the wall of Naruto's flat. She was used to sprinting, not having stamina, and in effect, her ability to move was tied to her willpower. Once she reached her destination, her willpower cut out from underneath her.

"Oi, Yukio, you okay?" He squatted before her so they could look each other in the eye.

"I am fine…tired, I am tired."

"Oh, okay, no worries, dattebayo!"

Yukio smiled apologetically.

What does dattebayo mean?

"Thank you."

"I'll get your bed set up." He walked off to another room in his apartment.

I wonder if he has any food…

Yukio looked longingly at the kitchen, which was conveniently by the door.

Okay Aggie Yukio Jones, it's time to get your arms and abs work-out in.

Yukio flopped onto the ground and military-crawled to the kitchen. She used the cabinet to pull herself up so she could sit comfortably. She opened a drawer and saw ramen. She opened another and there was more ramen. And another drawer revealed ramen.

Seriously? More ramen? I mean I'm in college and can't afford to eat much, but this…these oodles of noodles…that's just too much ramen.

Her stomach rumbled.

Oh well, I'm hungry, it's time to make like a college student and eat what get my hands on…

The five minutes of wait was agony, hen a thought struck her.

I wonder if Naruto's hungry.

"Hey! You made some ramen! You're the best Yukio-chan!" Came the blond ninja as he took the ramen from the microwave and began slurping at the noodles with gusto. "You make great ramen, dattebayo!"

My ramen! FUCK YOU NARUTO!

Yukio slowly descended to her knees, grabbed another packet of ramen, and started to prepare some for her.

"Oy, Yukio-chan, were you going to eat the ramen?"

Duh!

She stared at him, there was no emotion on her face, yet Naruto understood.

"Oh, hey, I'm really sorry about that! I just really love ramen. I'm never too stuffed to eat ramen, dattebayo!"

Naruto will die with ramen down his throat.

"I see." She started preparing her ramen as a shadow fell over her eyes.

"Hey, hey, you okay?"

Yukio nodded, "Yes." The shadow was still there.

"You don't sound oaky."

You took all my fuckn ramen you bastard! Ramen thieves must perish!

"I am well."

"Okay then."

How long will I have to stay here? What if tomorrow comes and Lady Tsunande can't take the bracelet off? Then what?

The ramen finished. She searched for utensils and found a pair of chopsticks. Yukio then grabbed her ramen and started eating quickly.

I believe. I believe that this is real; I believe that I'm half dragon. I just wanna go home.

The ramen warmed her stomach and everything started looking up. The shadow lessened on her face.

"Feeling better?" smiled the ninja.

Yukio nodded.

Just a bit…

"I see…well, whenever you're ready, your bed is ready."

"Thank you, Naruto." Yukio tried to smile, but her mouth was unfortunately filled with ramen and some of it fell out of her mouth.

Fuck! I must look like an invalid!

Naruto smiled and chuckled gently as he bent down to pick up the fallen ramen off the floor. They looked each other in the eyes and there was contentment. There was an understanding, no words were necessary.
