Chapter5: dinner date

"where are we going?" Tawny asked as they turned down the opposite street from where they would have originaly eaten.

"it's a surprise." He smirked.

"ok." She asked in a questioning tone.

"im not telling you."

"fine she crossed her arms." Poutingly.

"we are almost there come on." He grabbed her arm leading her down an alley.

"what is this place?"she looked around, it smelled like trash and dirty laundry.

"here." He pulled a key from his pocket opening a door to the side of the alley, they walked in. it was completely different than what sh ehad thought it might be.

"my home." He smiled walking in throwing the keys in a dish by the door.

The walls were painted, it was nice traditional japenese furiture. The furniture seemed new, and the whole roomed smelled like beef stew.

"you like?"

"mmm…. What are you making she slipped off her shoes and walked threw to the kitchen. Lifting the pan lid she smelled the steamy air that was released.

"what is it?"

"soup and rice." He placed the lid back down. I hope its ok with you?"

"it seems so good." She clung to him giving him a hug. " thanks."

"your welcome. It should be done here in a few minutes, hope your hungary I think I made to much…" he sighed, pulling out some dishes and placing them neatly on the table.

Kitchen seemed all high tech with shiny aplainces and wooden table and chairs the counter space was also wood to mimic the floor it seemed.

"its fine." She smiled at him assuring him.

"ok."

When the food was set they ate, not long after they decided to go for icecream as a nice dessert.

"let me lock up." Asuma turned around locking the doro as they exited behind a nearbye bush you see shikamaru sitting.

"god its about time what were they doing in there so long?" she shook his head, it wasn't time for those thoughts the pair was moving out.

"so did you like being beat?"

"not particularly by a girl."

"what does that mean?" sh emoved away from him a little.

"nothing."

"so it would have been ok if it was a guy?" her voice rose a little.

"no, but it might have been less-"

"bruiseing to your pride?" she questioned stopping.

"a…" he paused. " yah." He hung his head. " it hurt too, you're a hard person to battle."

" that's what ive been told." She giggled at his insecurity and moved closer.

Suddenly a random person went by her spilling stuff all over her it burnt the cuts on her skin that where made by the letters earlier that day. She held her arm. " uh." It had started to bleed a little.

"are you ok?" asuma asked.

"hum. O.. this im fine some paper cuts." She looked around but the cuprate was gone. She sighed. " lets go get the icecream now." They headed into a shop.

Behind them about two blocks was shikamru.

" they are getting more food?" he hoped into a bush to watch them but he wasn't close enough to hear them for fear of being seen.

" I wonder what they are saying?"

"so yah he's a lousy student. Doesn't try or anything. Its just boring to him he has no reason to train or anything, I was told he used to be quite good actually."

"really.he always tried really hard from what I can rememeber." She looked puzzled.

"her doesn't try or care about anything. What kind do you want?"

"citron, he doesn't care about anything?"

"nothing just a few friends like chouji is all."he shrugged before turning to face the waiter, " a… one chocolate and a citron please."

"in a bowl." Tawny piped up.

"yes, citron in a bowl." He nodded.

"ok."

"so how did you learn to fight?" he turned to her.

"me. Ive always know really." His eyes grew wide.

"when I was young my mom used to call it a gift, my dad is a grass nin, so he hunt deer and other things for a living." She giggled softly. " so when I started to mold chakra for the first time it was shooting arrows like my dad, but I got my mom's appetite." She giggled again. Before sighing.

"so why arent you with them right now?"

" my father is dead, and mother is also."

"how if I might ask."

"my father was shot threw the heart with an arrow and my mother died of heart break something even the medical nin couldn't save."

She sighed again, holding back tears.

"im sorry."

"its not yoru fault its-." She paused. " I came to live with my uncle and his family here in kohona ,that's how I first met shikamaru."

"so why did you leave?"

"hm" she didn't look up.

"asuma there you are." They turned around to see a white haired shinobi.

"kakashi-."

"here's the itcha itcha book you let me barrow. The end was the best part…" he began on about the story and the sences it contain before noticing tawny. " who is she?" he whispered to asuma.

"my date." He said saracsticly. " and you just told her I was a pervert!" he gritted his teeth and looked to tawny who was laughing.

"I like itcha itcha too." She covered her mouth sh ewas laughing a little softer trying to contain it.

" you like it?" the mens eyes grew wide.

"why wouldn't I im in it." She became serious but still showed a smile.

"you-your in it?" kakashi stumbled out the words.

"yes?" she was uncertain why the guys didn't belive her.

"wait wait how are you in it. " asuma held his hands up waving her off.

" I know the author." She blushed a little " im the reason he started the series.im a friend of a friend of his." She went on.

"so what one are you?" asuma asked thinking of all the character she could be.

"the first one," the guys mouths dropped eyes wide. " I was his muse to write the series." She giggled.

"so your…." Kakashi moved in close to her inches away. " do you like coffee?"

she giggled. " yes."

"want to go get some?"

"im out with-."

"but im cuter." Kakashi started puppy eyes. " pick me."

"hey!" asuma piped up.

"sorry I cant right now…." She giggled again.

"what are they talking about? She sure laughs a lot with them…. Maybe she likes them better." He sighed. Was he just a one night guy to her? he focused back on them.

"I wonder what is asuma and kakashi's deal?" The two where arguing like cats and dogs. Kakashi walked away eventually. Yelled back something about coffee another day from what little he could hear.

What was with tawny she had suddenly quit talking to them she was holding her arm for some reason.

"thanks for not leaving with him."

"yoru welcome. Hey why do I have two icecreams?" she was looking at the half empty bowl in front of her.

"are you ok?"

"im fine." She pulled her arm a little closer to her body.

"so is it really you?"

"yah." She smiled.

" I loved that book and its so hot that you are like that and…" she cringed. " did I say something?"

"no its that." She put her hand to her head. " I don't feel well." Placing her hand on the stood to prop herself she went to her feet.

Her leg cut was bleeding intensely and sepping threw her pants. And her hand had blood on it from where sh ecovered her cut.

" I think I better go to shika's house." Her voice was was choppy and broken, breathing heavy she started to walk away.

"I can walk you there, he stood up, just let me pay for this ok?" he placed money on the table.

When he turned around he saw her falling to the ground. But she was falling to quick he couldn't catch her. shikamru ran from the bushes to aid her flipping her body to her ack he shook her.

"tawny, tawny." He yelled at her to no avail. " you bastard what did you do to her?"

" I didn't do anything." Asuma began pleading innocent.

Shikaru placed two fingers on her wrist, " her pulse is dropping help me get her to the hospital!"
