After Gaara had left, Kurayami's mind soon caught up with her. I shouldn't have yelled at him... She thought, starting to slowly make her way over to his house. "Maybe he'll let me apologize..." She folded her arms over her chest like the red-haired boy as she walked her head straight and forward. When she got to his house she looked it over with her cool gray eye, and she smiled slightly. She brought her right hand over to the door in a comfortable fist and tapped on the door a few times, and then brought both hands behind her back.
Gaara groaned annoyingly as he sat up and trudged down the stairs to answer the door. When he opened it, there stood the girl he had thought placed a Jutsu on him. "What do you want?" He asked cooly, his teal eyes meeting hers. He felt his face color slightly but he ignored it, hoping she would too. "I... wanted to apologize for being so rude to you..." She answered quietly, seeming to stare right through him. Gaara quickly felt a little queasy as she stared at him.
"...Whatever." He said finally, about to close the door on her. Kurayami stuck her foot in between the wall and the door almost instantaneously. "I was wondering if you wanted to go get something to eat... I really want to make it up to you..." She said, her gaze never leaving him as she spoke. "You mean like..." He started. Was she asking him out or what? Suddenly his stomach felt like it was doing back flips. "Err, never mind." He finished, not wanting to stick to the thought anymore.
"So do you want to? Please..." She said, giving him puppy dog eyes. She knew that not even he could resist that face. Her friends always said it could reel in anyone. "Well..." Gaara said carefully, forcing himself not to smile at her seductive and childish face. "Alright." He said finally. He shot a quick glance back inside and wondered if he needed his gourd... No, probably not.
Kurayami removed her foot and smiled at him. "Let's go then!" She said happily, suddenly grabbing his hand and dashing off towards the direction of the Ramen shop. Gaara burned intensely on the inside the more she held onto his hand, but for a strange reason he felt like not letting go of her... This was definitely getting strange.
When the two reached the Ramen shop, Naruto, surprisingly, wasn't there devouring down a huge bowl of Ramen. Kurayami dragged Gaara inside still grasping his hand, and he soon just gently slid his hand out and back into his pocket. Kurayami blushed a little, thinking that she had probably made him quite nervous... She walked up to the counter, quickly followed by Gaara as she thought about what she wanted. "Hmm... Gaara, do you like onigiri and sushi?" She asked, turning back to him; his face was still slightly red. "...Sure." He replied quietly, refusing to let himself be taken in so easily by this odd girl's kindness. Kurayami ordered a fairly large plate of Onigiri and Sushi, and Gaara started to pull out some money. "Gaara, I'm paying for this remember? I owe you, ne?" She said, the playful smile plastered on her face as she whipped out some money of her own and paid. She grabbed the food and headed over to a table by the window.
Gaara sat down across from her in silence, wondering why she would pay for something for a guy like him... What did she want? Almost on cue with the thought, Kurayami politely grasped an onigiri and started nibbling on it thoughtfully, without getting rice all over her face or anything. Gaara's gaze soon fell upon her face and he blushed a bit, once again thinking she looked cute. Kurayami was quick to notice, and saw he wasn't eating. She stopped. "Aren't you hungry Gaara? Sorry if it tastes bad or anything..." She said quietly, her eye meeting his.
Gaara could just imagine the red-faced look he had and quickly turned away from her like he was suddenly fascinated with something outside. "Oh, uh..." Without looking he snatched a Dragon Roll Sushi and stuffed it into his mouth. It tasted... spicy. O.o However his expression bore no change as he quickly swallowed the small bit of rice and other items. After he finished he let out a small fake cough to break the silence, then started to eat. Kurayami smiled at this. "I like Dragon Roll Sushi as well..." She stated softly, finishing off her onigiri and getting some sushi for herself.
