Kimiko walked into the nin school wih a brown paper bag. It was lunch time, and all the kids were gone. She smiled, walking through the hallway to a familiar room. She knocked and slowly slid open the door, "Iruka?"
He looked up at the teen and smiled, "Nice to see you again, Kimi. I don't have too much of my lunch left, and I still gotta eat. So, what are you here for?"
"I just brought you something to eat," she said smiling, "And I just wanna spend some time with my old teacher. Is there anything wrong with that?"
He shrugged, moving his papers off his desk, "I guess not. Thank you very much, by the way. You just saved me twenty minutes."
Kimiko walked over and sat the bag down, her hands shaking. She looked around and pulled a chair to his desk, "So...what have you been up too?"
"Nothing much, just teaching the young people," he opened the bag and pulled out a large sandwich, "Turkey, my favorite.."
Kimiko blushed unknowingly, "So...any new love intrests in your life?"
Iruka paused in mid bite. He put the sandwich down, catcing the hint. He sighed, "Kimiko...sometimes, people are just better as friends, you know?...Love can be...a complicated matter.."
Kimiko looked close to stunned, "I'll be a good girlfirend. I mean...I've liked...well...loved you for so long...I mean, since I was in this school."
"I'm sorry," Iruka said, looking at the sandwich, "I don't mean to hurt your feelings, but you're still a girl, and, well, I'm a man. It wouldn't work out.."
"No...I'm sorry," Kimiko cut in, "I shouldn't have been so stupid. I mean, I should have thought it through better." She laughed, walking over to the partially open door, "Enjoy the sandwich.."
Nartuo was on his way home and decided to stop by the raman stand. He sat down in a stool and ordered the largest bowl and started eating. He sensed someone comming and turned looking down the road. He seen the familiar red hair and the white vest and gra skirt comming near. He waved, "Hey! Kimi! Come here!"
She put on a smile and jogged over to the stand, sitting next to him, "Hey Naruto...What's up?"
"Oh, nothing much. I was just hungry and decided to-," he noticed the red rim around her eyes, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine...," she said, looking at him and smiling, "It's just...well...nothing..."
"Tell me!" Naruto said, poking her with the pair of chopsticks.
She laughed, "Remember what we were talking about earlier? Well...I told him.."
"What did he say?" Naruto said curiously, half with concealed hope of rejection, "I mean, c'mon. He had to say yes, right?"
"He said he'd rather just stay friends...,"she said, feeling teary again. She plastered on another smile, "But, I'm fine.."
Naruto looked at his bowl of ramen, "I'm...not hungry anymore...wanna go to my house? You can make me an omlet or something..."
Kimiko stood up with a giggle, "Sure...but I thought you wern't hungry?"
