Chapter Six
The Test Begins
Over the next few hours Koharu concocted a dozen plans and dismissed them impatiently; for they all boiled down to hurting Seiji and wrecking their friendship.
"Why the hell did you do that? Didn't it occur to you he's a male and me being a female, we can't be living under the same roof. Plus, my parents are barely home as it is." Koharu argued throwing her arms up in frustration.
Kakashi laughed awkwardly, "I think it is really cute that Seiji sees you as his most trusting friend, after all you did have trouble doing that before." Kakashi cheerfully patted Koharu's head as he noticed she was blushing. "Could you at least give him a chance Koharu-san?" She sighed, clueing him that she had given up on arguing with her sensei.
Koharu made certain her house was all cleaned up and ready for Seiji's arrival. She made last minute checks to see if there was anything wrong. But there wasn't, she had cleaned from top to bottom. With a smile, she went to the door when the doorbell rang and opened it. Her beautiful eyes took in Seiji with a warm, passionate gaze before giving him a grin. "You don't have to do that any more, Seiji-kun. This is your home too."
"You're right. I keep forgetting," Seiji said with a smile as he walked in and took of his shoes, setting his luggage aside.
She smirked. "I take it your parents thought living with the smartest kid in class was a good thing," she commented.
"Oh? Are you saying that I can't keep up with you?" Seiji pretended to look annoyed, but really he was teasing the other back. "I think I can prove that I can."
"Oh, really...when will that be," Koharu retorted, teasing him back?
"Now I'm hurt." Seiji tried to pull away from the other, a pout on his lips. "Are you saying I can't hold my own against you?"
Koharu blinked, looking at him. "You told me once history isn't your strongest class or in any other class might I add. You also get mad at me for purposely holding back when playing against you during chakra practice. I was just stating facts, Seiji. I didn't mean to offend you."
"Koharu... I was only joking," Seiji said, looking confused.
She frowned softly. "I'm sorry, Seiji."
Leaning over, Seiji smiled slightly at her. "I'm glad to hear that. Now, shouldn't we be celebrating our first day together?"
Koharu grinned at those words. "And just what did you have planned for that."
"Mmm... I don't know. Something more enjoyable?" Seiji asked.
Koharu grinned. She always loved making Seiji be more open. "Oh... something more enjoyable than just being together?"
"Are you saying there's nothing better than being with me?" Seiji murmured with a blush. "I suppose I should go unpack then, if there isn't anything other than that..."
Koharu groaned. "What did I do wrong... did I offend him, how?" she asked herself in a soft voice.
Koharu was in the kitchen, cooking up something special for Seiji's moving in night. On top of making his favorite dinner, she was also baking an apple pie. Something of which she knew he'd enjoy.
Fifteen minutes passed before feet were heard walking down the stairs and Seji walked into the kitchen. "I finished unpacking. Mmm... something smells good..."
Koharu looked up, a dark blue apron on, and smiled at Seiji. "Dinner's all most ready. Could you set the table?"
"Sure." Walking over to the cabinets, Seiji pulled out two plates and grabbed silverware, since it looked like they would need those instead of chopsticks tonight. He noticed the apple pie and smiled. "You're going out of your way to cook tonight."
She smirked. "Well you are my best friend."
"Which is hard to believe, because you're the sweetest person I've ever met," Seiji told her as he put the stuff on the table.
She smiled and brought the food to the table, before moving to serve both of them. "I know. That's what makes it so much better, to know I have you at least."
Seiji smiled back. "Thanks Koharu."
She set the plate back in front of Seiji before nodding. "No problem. But you shouldn't thank me until after you pass all the test and quiz for this semester."
Seiji picked up his fork up and took a bite of the chicken, ramen casserole and closed his eyes. "No one can make this as good as you Koharu..." He ate a little before smirking softly. "By the way, how did your parents take it."
Koharu laughed. "They couldn't care less, since they are hardly here."
He smiled and as he finished his plate, he shook his head. "Good, cause I don't want to cause you so much trouble on my account."
"My mother is in love with you, you're practically her son! You come here like you already lived here." Koharu said laughing harder. "You do realize that don't you?"
He raised an eyebrow at that. "Um, but what about your father? I don't think he'd appreciate that."
"He just falls behind mom, and agrees with her to avoid arguments."
Seiji pressed a soft kiss to Koharu's cheek before moving to go get the apple pie.
"Oh? What was that for?" Koharu asked, blushing more as the time progressed.
He sighed softly, curling his arms around Koharu's neck. "You're the best Koharu-Chan. And a kiss is the only way of showing my appreciation."
"That's true for situations, but for cooking?" Koharu murmured.
He moaned softly. "True. But its also for letting me live with you."
Koharu whimpered softly. "Kakashi. Are you testing me?"
