She held up the camera. "Naruto, smile!"
Naruto blinked and smiled a bit. Flash!
Kuri looked at the photo. "Huh. You didn't turn out in the photo, Naru…he's gone."
The others looked but didn't see him. Kuri looked up, and saw him in the sky. "Naruto?!"
"What's going on, ttebayo?!" Naruto did a somersault as he looked around. "Get me down!"
Kuri reached out. "Naruto!" Her hand went through him.
"A-Am I dead?" Naruto wondered. "A ghost?"
Kuri leaned up, almost kissed him, and then kissed his forehead. Maybe next time. Kuri incinerated the photo and Naruto plummeted to the ground.
"Ugh…" Naruto stumbled to his feet. "I don't like that camera."
"Let's take it back to the studio." Kuri hugged him, the ghost of their almost-kiss on her lips.
