Chapter 2

Ramen Date, and other surprises...

Naruto POV-

I leaned up agenst huge door of the northern gate of Konaha. I had been sitting here since eight this morning. I was waiting for Tsuki, Sumeko, Kakashi and Shizu to return from their mission, and I was super bored. I actully started talking to the two gaurds after awhile and they got so agervated with me they sent me to the other side of the gate.

I slid down and sat there and started playing with a few rocks. After about an hour trying to get the rocks to stay in a stacked pile I began doodling in the dirt with my kunai.

I sighed, "When is she coming back?" I looked over at the long stretch of rode outside the gate, "Where are you? Tsuki."

Tsuki POV-

I was so bored. We left the little town of Chibi* after freeing it of its murderous gang. They weren't much trouble, most of them were a bunch on chickens, running for the hill when they saw us. The only people who were harder was the leader and his stuck up girlfriend. The mission was finished in a matter of hours, after I took out the leader his girlfriend ran at me with anger that could scare a mountain cat, but not me. She was full of so much anger that she couldn't concentrate, she went down easily.

I sighed and looked up at the sky. The woman reminded me of myself... when I saw her hatefilled eyes I saw a reflection of myself, and it scared me. Is that what I really looked like when I killed my mother?

My eyes teared up, but I forced them to not spill over.

I looked down at the dirt rode me and my comrades walked on. Why am I such a monster?

-birds chirping happily-

I looked up at the sky again and saw two blue birds flying with eachother, swurling around in the sky like some ancient dance only known to nature. My eyes fallowed them tell they both landed on a cherry bloosm tree, rubbing their heads together. I paused and stared at the two love birds and smiled.

-flashback-

I cried into my knees, pain enveloping me entirely when suddenly two strong arms sorrounded me, I felt comfert and love weaved into those two strong arms, something I havent felt in a long time. Before I could really think of what was going on both my arms unwrapped themselves from my knees and went around Naruto's body. I felt a soft whisper next to my ear.

"You don't deserve to die... your mother wouldn't want you to do that to your self. She wants to see you happy, and smile. Your mother was a strong woman, and she wants you to follow in her footsteps."

I was hugged harder, " You don't have to feel lonely anymore. You have me, and Shizu and Sumeko. We are your best friends now, and you couldn't be closer to anyone now then ever." he whispered.

-end of flash back-

I chuckled to myself and turned away from the birds and fallowed my team who didnt seem to notise I had stopped.

I looked at the blue sky again.

"Naruto..."

Naruto POV-

"Huh?"

My head snapped up to the sound of soft, destant footsteps.

I saw four figures slowly approaching the gate.

I stood up quickly with a rediculus smile on my face again and waited anxiously for Tsuki to reach the gate.

After a few minutes that felt like hours to me I got too impatiant and ran to Tsuki and the others.

"Tsuki!" I yelled with my hand waving above my head. I came to a stop in front of Tsuki and I studied her for a split second. Her clouthes were slightly messy from her mission but her face was clear and shining. Her shappire blue eyes sparkled and her blonde hair waved across her face in the slightly blowing wind.

"Oh! Naruto!" She said. She rushed forward and wrapped her arms around me. That was one of her best traits, she would never hold back on giving a hug to anyone. She wasnt shy anymore and I found out so much about her that she had held back when she first arrived. She was the most hypper and unperdictable person I knew besides my self.

I laughed and hugged her back then she let go and stepped back. Her cheeks were a slight pink, it was nearly invisable but it was still there.

"So, how was the mission?" I asked as we all continued walking back to Konaha. We walked few steps through the gate and waved to the gaurds before anyone said anything. Finally Shizu spoke.

"Easy. I still cant belive it was a 'B' rank mission. I think Hokage-Sama is losing it." she said while forming small ice daggers and quickly melting them in her palm to wipe the water across her forehead.

Shizu's tecnics revolved around ice. Everything she did was with ice. Ice daggers, ice wall barrier and many others that I couldn't really remember. In a way she kinda reminded me of Haku.

"So you kicked some gang's butt with out breaking a sweat, huh? That's the Tsuki I know." I said with a smile and my arms behind my head.

Tsuki laughed. I looked over at her. Her face looked so happy and carefree when she laughed. Then I remembered why I had waited forever for her to come back.

"Hey, Tsu-" I stopped talking when suddenly a bunch of bugs appeared in front of us and turned into Shino.

"Sorry to interupt." he said casully. He began walking to Shizu.

After Shizu went with Shino, Kiba and Hinata on a five day mission, her and Shino just clicked. How? I'll never know, but I've never seen Shino actully happy before, so I wasn't about to complain. But right now I was alittle irritated. 'He messed up my plan,' I thought to myself

"That wasn't nice, Shino! You just interrupted Naruto." Shizu replied to Shino.

Shino looked over at me, his black glasses shined in the rays of the sun when he looked at me, "Sorry, Naruto. Now that I'm here though, and I have nothing to say. You may continue what you were going to say."

Suddenly everyones eyes were on me, I felt a drop of sweat bead up on my forehead in embarresment.

"Um, I- um..." I stuttered while looking at everyone.

Tsuki laughed ot loud again, "whats wrong, Naruto? You look like your being choked." she laughed again.

I smiled, "Well, actully, I was gonna ask you on a date, Tsuki." I said while scratching the back of my head.

Tsuki POV-

"Well, actully, I was gonna ask you on a date, Tsuki." Naruto said nervously.

I was stunned. Naruto... asking me...? My mind went blank.

"Huh? Tsuki? You alright?" Naruto asked comeing closer to me. I was still so shocked I didnt even react to his closeness.

Suddenly, an arm leaned on my shoulder. I snapped to my right to see Shizu smiling.

"Sh- Shizu?" I asked confused.

"Ha! Of course she would! Wouldn't you, Tsuki?" She said looking at me.

"Wa- wait!" I said blushing deeply.

"Ha ha! She does! Hey, Naruto! Why don't you come pick her up in about two hours, and you guys can go out!" Shizu said all excited.

I was dumbfounded, Shizu didn't usally act like this. I just looked up at Naruto. He looked alittle surprised at Shizu's reaction then he looked over at me with a qestionly look. I just smiled and tried to look like I was saying yes.

Naruto seemed to get it cause he got a huge smile on his face and ran off ahead of us.

He turned around and yelled, "I'll see you in two hours, Tsuki!"

In a matter of seconds he was out of site. I turned around to look at Shizu.

"Shizu!" I yelled at her.

"What? You could see you werent gonna do anything, so I butted in. You looked like you just saw a ghost!" she laughed.

Sumeko joined her, "well now we have to get you ready!" She smiled.

Shizu nodded and took my hand and pulled me away.

"I'll see you later on tonight, Shino!" she said as she drug me away.

- one hour later on that night-

I stepped out of the shower and wrapped my towel around me. Outside I heard Shizu and Sumeko talking about something, it sounded like they were talking about Shino and Gaara-Sama. I smiled to myself and grabbed a brush and ran it through my wet hair.

I let my thoughts run wild in my head. I was still stunned by the fact that Naruto asked me on a date. We have been friends for more then a month now, but I always thought we were just that. Friends.

I sighed and placed my brush a side and walked out of the bathroom. The girls stopped talking for a second them continued on once I was in my room. I went to my closet and got out my village wearing clouthes, my ninja clouthes were filthy. I pulled on my purple widestrap tanktop and put my extra wide neck black shirt on over that with my back up white ninja short shorts, I rarely wore them though. I looked my self over in the mirror. I smiled when I actully thought I looked pretty good, but I didn't look like was trying to over do it, I just looked like me and I was happy.

I walked out of my room and went to the kitchen. I grabbed the carton of milk and a glass and began to pour some.

"Hey, guys?" the chat stopped in the living room, I smiled, "you want anything to drink or eat?" I asked.

"Naw." they both said at the same time and all three of us started laughing.

-knock, knock- I put down my milk glass and ran to the door and pulled it open only to have my mood drop to see Shino standing there.

"Oh. Hi, Shino." I said alittle depressed.

"You don't seem happy to see me." he said with no expression, but I thought I heard alittle sadness in there.

"No! No, its not like that! I just thought you were someone eltse." I replied apoligicly.

"Ah. Shizu here?" he asked.

"Oh! Yeah! Shizu! Shino is here for you." I yelled out to her.

I heard the chair fall over and Sumeko start laughing. Shizu ran into the room.

"Hi, Shino! Ready to go?" she asked.

"Yes. Why eltse would I be here?" he asked.

She jokingly poked him in the side then pulled his black mask down and kissed him. I turned away to give them privicy.

"See you, Sumeko! Bye, Tsuki! Good luck on your date!" Shizu yelled happly back at me.

"You too!" I waved bye and closed the door.

I slumped against the door and sighed. I got back up and walked to my milk glass and sipped at it slowly.

Where you at, Naruto?

"You know he'll come, right. That boy is crazy about you." Sumeko said leaning against the doorframe of the kitchen.

"I hope so." I said looking over at the clock.

"If you dont think he is coming, your crazy." she said laughing.

I laughed with her.

"Hey, Sumeko?" she looked up at me, "How are you and Gaara-Sama?"

She was silent for a moment, "fine. Its hard to be a girlfriend of a Kazakage, we don't see each other much."

"You- you still think you'll stay together reguardless?" I asked.

She smiled, "of course I do! I havent told him yet, but I might move to the Hidden Sand, so I can always be with him." her smile was so sure it seeped to the very core of her soul.

I smiled. "Thanks, Sumeko."

She was confused, "What for?"

-knock, knock-

This time I actully dropped my milk glass and ran to the door. I didn't hear any shaddering glass so I assumed that Sumiko grabbed it before it hit the ground, I sighed in relife and continued to the door.

I pulled it open and there he stood. I started at the bottom and traveled my way up, he wore his normal orange ninja pants and black shirt with a orange flame on it. When I was done looking at his clothes I finally reached his face. His eyes were closed and he had that classic smile on his face that instantly made him Naruto. He had his arm behind his head and you could tell that he was scratching it nervously. His cheeks resembled cherry blossom petels.

I smiled and threw my arms around him. I felt him stumble backwards a bit but otherwise put his arms around me as well. He chuckled.

"If I get hugged like this by you to much I may get addicted to it." he laughed.

I laughed too, "So where you taking me?" I asked leting him go.

But he wasn't ready to let go of me just yet. He smiled and reached for my hand and held it gently in his hand, as if it were fragile porcilan.

He blushed again and with his free hand, scratched the back of his head once more. He looked to the side nervously, avoiding my eyes.

"Well, I unfortantly cant afford to take you anywhere fancy. So I figured that, since you like ramen as well, I could take you to Irchiraku Ra-"

I cut him short by walking up to him and grabing his hand from behind his head, he turned to look at me, surprise was in his eyes. I smiled.

"That sounds absultly perfect to me."

Naruto smiled back down at me. He released one of my hands and ushered it out the open door.

"Then shall we be off, my Lady?" he asked in a sarcastic voice.

I laughed at him but otherwise played along, "yes we shall. Thank you, Naruto-Kun." I walked out the door, "Cya later, Sumiko!" I turned and waved at her. She waved back then closed the door.

Me and Naruto walked along the dirt path toward Irichiraku Ramen Shop. We talked and laughed to each other on the way, holding hands. Occasionally a person would stop and stare at us, giving us the cold and hatred stare, but we ignored them. I couldn't be happier.

We finally reached the shop. Naruto held the curtain aside for me as I stepped in and took a seat. Naruto sat on my left side.

"Oi! Old man!" Naruto yelled.

The old man who owned the shop turned to us, holding a dirty rag in his hands. He threw the towel over his shoulder and placed both hands on the counter in front of us.

"Why! If it isn't Naruto! And my second best costumer, Tsuki! What you both doing here at this time of night?" The old man asked.

Naruto laughed, he put his arm around my shoulder, "we are both here on a date!"

The man laughed, "I always knew if you got a girlfriend that the first place you'd take her is here! Order whatever you like, its on the house!" he said excitedly.

"Thanks, old man!" Naruto said,

"Yes, thank you!" I said, not wanting to be rude.

"Its my pleasure!" he smiled.

"Well in that case, I'll take a double ramen! With extra toppings!"

I laughed, that was to be expected from Naruto.

"I'll take the same!" I said.

"Wonderful! I get right on that!" the old man turned and began perparing our meal.

"So, Tsuki," Naruto started.

I looked over at him, "hm?"

He smiled and put both arms behind his head, "I've never been on a mission with you, nor have I ever seen you train. I've heard countless times from Shizu and Sumiko that your amazing with Nin-jutsu, and Tai-jutsu. I was just wondering if maybe you'd like to spar with me sometime and I could get a glimps at what you can do."

I stared at him. I haven't really relized it but I have never been on a mission with Naruto. The reason why he hasn't seen me train is cause I perfered to train alone, I would occasionly spar with Shizu or Sumiko, but that was it. I was alittle shocked that I never relized it before.

"So, what do you say?" Naruto asked again, braking my thoughts.

"A-about what?" I stammered.

"About sparing with me?"

"Oh! Sure! I geuss it woould be fun, since I don't know your abilities either." I said, I smiled slyly. I would be interesting fighting someone you have never fought with before.

"Sweet! How about tommarow morning?" he suggested.

"Sure I don't have any missions, so I'm free all day."

"Me as well. I'll meet you at the sparing park just outside Konaha's west gate. Since I don't want any perment damage done in the village." Naruto laughed.

I smiled at him, "you got it!"

"Here you two go! Two double ramens! I through in my speacial sauce, made it extra spacial," the old man said with a wink.

"Thanks!" Naruto said, immiditly braking his chopsticks and digging in.

I broke mine as while, and bowed slightly to him in respect, "Thank you for the meal."

"Its my pleasure!"

Me and Naruto ended up eating over five bowls of double ramen. Naruto and I got up and waved to the man.

"Thanks, Old Man! I'll be sure to pay next time!" Naruto said over his shoulder.

"I'm looking foreward to it!" He called back.

Me and Naruto laughed. I felt Naruto's hand weave through my fingers. I grabbed his hand thightly and smiled to my self.

"Man, its late! I got to get you home!" Naruto looked at the dark sky. The stars shined like tiny daimonds.

"Thank you, Naruto." I said quitely. I curled into his side, it was so warm.

"Hm. Your welcome." He let go of my hand and wraped his arm around my waist. I blushed, but curled even more into his side.

We reached my house in a matter of a few minutes. The lights were off so I assumed that Sumiko had left and Shizu was staying with Shino. I suddenly felt sad, I would have to leave Naruto.

Naruto walked me to my door. I uncurled myself from his side and turned to him. I threw my arms around him.

"Thanks again, Naruto. I had a great time." I let go of him.

"Yeah." He stare down at me, there was something there in his eyes. I couldn't discribe it.

"I-I cya tommarow then!" I turned around and opened my door. I walked in turned to wave at Naruto, I then closed my door. I turned and leaned back against the door. Not knowing if Naruto had left or not.

Naruto POV

I stood there facing Tsuki's door, slightly shocked. I shook my head a few times and smiled. I turned and walked down the three steps and continued down the dirt path to my home.

As I walked all I could think about was Tsuki, her smile, the warmth of her soft hands. The sound of her laugh still ringed in my ears like tiny bells.

I reached my house and unlocked the door. Walking inside, I relocked the door continued to my room. I removed my clothes and put on my PJ bottoms and a worn out shirt. I sat on my bed in the dark and looked out to the stars. I leaned back on the one pillow I had and closed my eyes. I replayed the night I had just experinced, smiling till sleep over took me.

End of chapter 2! I know I havent uploaded anything! I have been seriously busy with school and my new cosplay group! I'll to get better at this! I swear :P
