Standing there staring into my kitchen in amazement I found three totally out of place things. First off, Daichi was sitting in the kitchen, eating food. Now, the eating food thing wasn't surprising but, he never sat in the kitchen, he always ate in his room, or somewhere else. He just didn't like the kitchen. Second off, my mother was home, actually home, and cooking too. Sure, most mothers cooked, except her, she just didn't, I always did. Of course, most stunning thing of them all was the other boy sitting there staring at the counter, obviously waiting for me.
Giggling I ran over and threw him into a mind boggling tight hug. Slightly knocked off guard by this random movement, he just sat there. Sadly, all good things must end, or at least, so I'm told. He finally reacted and though not in a harsh way he pried me off. I smiled and looked into those onyx eyes. Sasuke had actually come to see me, something he hadn't done since, who knows when. "Sa-kun! I graduated from the academy!" He nodded and grunted. "I heard." I tilted my head, how had he heard this? I looked at Daichi who just went on eating. "Oh, well, I'm going to train real hard and maybe I'll get as good as you and Shika-kun." I smiled nodding enthusiastically. The ghost of a smile seemed to sweep across his face, this made me grin. This was something you rarely or never saw on his face. At least, not since then.
Shaking my head of the memory, I looked at my mother who was watching us. She smiled and pointed to the food. Blinking I nodded. "Sure, what is it?" "Egg rolls and sushi." I smiled. Those were my two favorite foods. Grabbing a plate I got some of both and sat next to Sasuke. "So, how've you been?" I asked then stuck some sushi in my mouth. He blinked then shrugged. I took that as fine, if it was bad, he glared... it was never good just fine, or bad. I'd gotten used to our one sided conversations. Sometimes, rarely, but, every now and then I'd get him to say a full sentence. I looked at my food and then in front of him. "Hmm, you hungry? We have plenty. You don't have to starve yourself, doesn't help any." He cocked an eyebrow. "Why would I starve myself?" I smirked and decided to go off on a random. "Well, sure you have plenty of girls already liking you but, maybe, just maybe, the girl you actually like doesn't return the feelings. So you devised a plan to make yourself Ino skinny... or skinnier. Thinking maybe, this would change her mind." Nodding happily at my ingenious story I stuck my tongue out at him and heard him mumble something that I thought was along the lines of, "Got part right."
I rolled my eyes then looked at him, he definitely didn't look like he was kidding but, he always looked like that. Cocking my eyebrow I asked, "Who, what, when, why...huh?" Sasuke blinked. "Uhm." I stared unblinkingly at him then shook my head. "Whatever. I don't care." He nodded. I finished my food and stuck the plate in the sink. "So, I get assigned to my group tomorrow. What happens after that?" I placed my head on my hands and looked at him. "They give you some sort of test and if you pass it then you become an official gennin. Just remember that teamwork is key and you should be fine." I blinked, then nodded. "Mmkay." He looked out the window and I mirrored his movements. "I need to go." I smiled and nodded. "Kay, bye Sasuke." He got up and walked out. I still had a happy feeling in my gut from seeing him.
I stood up and walked upstairs, into Daichi's room. "Did you go see him and tell him?" He looked at me and nodded. I smiled and walked over to his bed, hugging him I said, "Thanks." Laying down next to him both of he stared at the ceiling. "So, Sasuke said that we need to remember that teamwork's important... I don't really get it right now but, he also said we have one more test to determine if we graduate. I think they have something to do with each other but, I guess we won't know till tomorrow." He nodded slowly and looked at me. I smiled at him then leaned over and kissed his cheek. "'Night, see you in the morning." I walked next door to my room and shut the door, turning off the light. As I lay there, thoughts about the events of today were swirling through my head though, they came to a stop as I heard my door open. My mother walked in and sat next to me. "I'm proud of you Kibo, you finally graduated, this is only the beginning though you know." I kept quiet and waited for her to continue. "Well, I hope you do well. Goodnight." She leaned down and kissed my forehead. Standing up, she walked out. I turned on my side and curled into a ball falling fast asleep and not waking till an hour before I had to go to the academy to be assigned to my team.
A/N: ok, so, what did you think? Come on you can do it, just tell me. Anyways, no new chapter till I get one review. Really, is that too much to ask? Just one little tiny review. Anywho, I know this chappie is sorta cheesy and stuff but… idk, it's just what sorta came to mind when I was writing. Yes, it's short… I know I need to attempt making my chapters longer but, idk, even if I try it doesn't work. But, the next one should be better. I'm doing the teams thing and so... that should be lengthyish
