- Ok then
have a good days sleep and I'll se you after a few hours.
-
Sure, bye.
I hope my memory returns, its not that I
don't like this place, I just want to know more about myself, but I
don't think that I should worry myself over those things right now,
all I must do now is sleep.
/
Pain and sorrow, all in one… What is this, where am I… My hands are stained with blood, but there are no wounds on my body… A dark dungeon, wet, cold… There is something in the distance, it's a light… An explosion, the walls begin too crumble, the sealing is falling down… The light disappears…
- "cough" "cough" - a dream? I certainly hope so. Where am I? Oh, yeah Konoha if I remember right. Hmm it's already pretty dark outside, heh perfect for my name, oh yeah I already forgot, Naruto is supposed to come soon, I think, but since he's not here I guess I'll sleep a little longer, I just hope I wont have the same dream.
/
It hurts… I can not move and there is nobody that can help me… What?... What now?...
- Hey are you alright? – asked a worried familiar voice.
- Yeah, I'm fine Naruto.
- Were you having a nightmare or something, cuz your face looked really, worried.
- Its just some weird dream. Don't worry everything's fine.
- Well good then, because its time to head to town. Also we will have someone special with us "smirk"
- Who might that be? – maybe its that Hinata girl, I wouldn't mind seeing her once more.
- You'll see.
And so without Naruto telling me anything more, we took of.
Even thou it was dark, the streets were still full of people, selling, buying stuff, everything was so alive.
- So… Where are you taking me? – and who is that second person.
- I'm taking you first to a very special place of mine, and a pretty famous one too.
- Oooh, you are getting me interested.
- Hehe.
Slowly as we walked through the town, I was able to look at everything. The shops weren't something special, the people too. Perfect, the place was friendly and warm, nothing to worry about.
- Hey you ok?
- Me? Yeah I'm fine.
- You seem to be spaced out.
- Well this is all new to me, so I'm interested in every bit.
- Well… Ok then.
And so we walked for a few more minutes though a few more streets.
- Ahh, there it is.
- There it is... What?
- The Ichiraku Ramen.
- And that would be?
- That my friend would be the best place to eat, c'mon lets go.
- Ok, ok, you don't need to rush me so much.
The shop wasn't big, it had no doors, there was only a small peace of cloth covering the top part. When we entered, the chef greeted us, it seems that he knows Naruto very well. I sat on a high chair and started looking around, the inside was simple too, wood and a bit of metal, but there was one thing that was different one thing that got me really interested in this place. The Smell. And just as I began sniffing more and more, a huge bowl of food was placed in front of me.
The food was unfamiliar, I didn't recognize the smell, but it was sooo good, I nearly started drooling, but I didn't, my mouth was tight shut from excitement. Hot air fumes were rising from the bowl, mixing together with the smell of the food and touching my face like a warm cloud, together filing my nose with something amazing… I want to eat it NOW.
- Hey are you listening?!
- What? Uh yeah. What did you say.
- I said this is Sakura, you met her earlier today. – before me was standing a pink haired girl, with a puzzled face, hmm too bad its not Hinata.
- Oh I'm sorry, I didn't notice you. My name is Dark
- Yes I know, Naruto already told me a little about you.
- So he did.
- Ok enough chit chatting, time to eat. This is Dark's first time at Ichiraku ramen!
- It is? I though you took him here the same minute you left the Hokages office?
- I wanted to, but he said that he needed some sleep.
- And you let him sleep instead of dragging him straight here?
- Yeah.. well, we don't want him sleeping inside the ramen bowl.
While those two were still talking, I began to stare at the bowl again. This… This bowl of food seems to be very difficult too understand, it has a huge pile of things I have never seen in my life.
- Well, what do you think? - asked Naruto.
- I… I don't know, it smells good, and I want to try it, but I have no Idea how to eat it.
- Heh, don't worry, just watch what I do and reapeat, - Naruto then took a pair of sticks riped them apart, putted them between his fingers and started taking food out of the bowl.
- I'll try to do the same, - when I tried it somehow appeared really easy and familiar, but just before I tried putting food in my mouth, Sakura interupred me.
- You know? There is a legend about the Ichiraku ramen, I don't really believe it since it was created by Naruto and a few other people.
- Mmm, what is it?
- Well they say, that anybody who likes to eat at Ichiraku ramen can't be a bad person.
- Oh yeah I almost forgot that! - yelled Naruto nearly choking.
- Naruto don't eat with you mouth full! – yelled Sakura. And after that they both stated to stare at me.
- What?
- Well, try out the ramen, - said Sakura.
- Ok, - I once again took the stick in my hands, grabbed some strange looking food from the bowl and putted it in my mouth. My mind blanked out for a few seconds, I don't know, maybe it was the taste of the food or the fact that I don't remember when was the last time I had food in my mouth. IT WAS FG DELISOUS
- Well!? – asked both in unison.
- It good… really tasty!
- Ha HA, I knew that you're a good person!
- Heh well I guess there is nothing to worry about, - said Sakura while smiling.
And so I have tasted the first delicious food in my life, as far I can remember this is one of my best days, I found out a lot of new things today, met some great people.
After a little race of who can eat the most ramen, I nearly ended up falling of the chair.
- Oh man… I'm stuffed. I'll have to repay you somehow Naruto.
- Don't worry, maybe some day you'll be able to treat me to some Ramen.
- Jeez Naruto you always overeat, you don't need to force other people in eating contests.
- I wasn't forced…. It was interesting.
- Anyway where should we go now? - asked Naruto.
- Well, we could show some of the mountain side places.
- A romantic place, hmm, a good idea incase he finds someone he likes, he will be able to take them there.
- Haha, stop joking around. Me? Find someone ha!
- Why so pessimistic? – asked Sakura.
- Well I don't think there would be anyone that I could interest.
- I think you are just trying to change the subject. – said Naruto.
- …
- You did say "I don't think there would be anyone that I could interest". So is there anyone that interests you? - said Sakura.
- "smirk" I think I know the person, - said Naruto.
- Mmm, who? – Hmm, who could he be talking about, wait… 00
- What about Hinata? – said Naruto.
- Hinata!! - nearly screamed Sakura.
- Don't be stupid Naruto, nothing happened, your just making stuff up.
- "smirk" Oh really, then who was staying near your bed for more than a day?
- Wait, wait, I lost it at the part "What about Hinata". What happened between you two?!
- Nothing.
- I wouldn't say nothing.
- Tell me, tell me. – started asking Sakura.
I wasn't listening to those two anymore. While Naruto was telling the story of how I got here and how Hinata took care of me, I just sat on a bench and stared to day dream.
What if… what if Naruto is right, what if I started to feel something about her, well there are reasons why I would, but I hope that Naruto is wrong, because right now, love problems are something that I really don't need. Argh, man this is troublesome.
- So that's why.
- Yup, so what do you think.
- I'd say it's too soon to say that he likes her Naruto.
- Hnn, fine.
- So what now, - I asked.
- We were talking earlier about those romantic places, so why don't we go to one of them – suggested Sakura.
- Sure, let's go.
So we took of.
We left the suburban areas and entered something like a small forest, I think it's a park, there were trees, small stone paths, and some benches about a 50 meter distance from each other.
Naruto and Sakura sat on a bench and I sad behind them on the grass. I think Naruto is going to make a move on Sakura, well I can just wish him luck.
- What do you think Sakura? – said Naruto.
- About this place? I think it's beautiful, you can see the moon from here and the wind doesn't blow so hard in here.
- Yeah its sure is a nice place, - while saying that Naruto slowly lifted his arm so that he could put in around Sakuras shoulders. I think he's going to make it.
He's slowly trying to reach her, quietly so that she would notice, just little more and he will be able to do it. But then suddenly Naruto butt slips on the bench and as he falls he doesn't garb her by the shoulder, but instead he accidentally grabs the lower and well basically he grabber her by the breast.
- Hyeeeaaah, - and Naruto goes flying right beside me, he got lucky that there were no trees in his flying path.
- Idiot, - I murmured.
- Naruto you freak!
- Sorry I didn't mean to, It was an accident!
- He is telling the truth you know, - I interrupted because it seems that she is about too kill him.
- Fine, I'll let you of with this. I'm going home!
And so Sakura left, Naruto was laying on the grass half dead, and I was thinking that I will never mess around with that person.
- Heh, better luck next time Naruto.
- Don't rub it in.
- So what do say, shall we call it a day.
- Yeah let's go home.
A midnight walk home, I guess it would be dangerous in some places, but it somehow feels safe here. But just when we were half way home.
- Aaaaaaa, let go of me!!
- Naruto!
- Yeah, I hear it to. lets go!
/
- C'mon girl, stop pushin, ya know you want to.
- No! Go away! Let me go! HELP!
- HEY! She said let go! – yeled Naruto.
- Wha!? Get lost, I'm busy, here.
- Let the girl or I'm going crack that scull of yours! – I yelled. When Naruto just stared for a second at me.
- You what, ninjas. I'ma ninja too, so what So better scram, so I can have some fun.
- I'm going to kill you bastard!!
- What! That's it brat, I think I need to teach you a lesson or two.
- BRING IT FR!! - while I was yelling Naruto came from behind and freed the girl.
- What'cha doin, that's mine, - he tried to hit Naruto, but was drunk, so he could reach him, then he turned back at me, - You little fk, you dead!
- Dark, step back, I'll take care of him!
- NO, He's mine!
- Brave brat, soon I'm going to hang you upside down from these tre…. – while he was babbling I ran straight at him, with a strange feeling in my heart, a murderous intent. I ran to him, ducked and then shot my left leg straight into his chin, while the drunk leaned backwards I stood up. Just as he was facing me once again, I jumped in the air turned 360 degrees and slammed my leg into the side of his head, which sent him nearly flying to the ground.
- HA, not so powerful now. HUH!!
- Ungrgh… - was all that the drunk said.
- Wow, I didn't knew you could fight like that Dark!
- Neither did I. But it felt amazing, - and tempting.
- Heh, I guess this was something like you first battle.
- Yeah I guess so. My hands can't stop shaking.
- Don't worry it's from the adrenaline, it'll wear off soon.
- ….Ok. How's the girl.
- Once I took her away from this guy she ran off. Probably home.
- I see.
- Sorry Dark, but you'll have to go home alone, I need to take care of this drunk.
- Yeah sure. I'll be on my way then.
- Ok… wait a little.
- What?
- What's that on your forehead?
- Hmm, what, I don't feel anything.
- Its like a triangle or something like rhombus, and its black.
- Its just probably dirt, nothing to worry about.
- Well ok then, I'm taking this guy and you should head home.
- Yeah, bye then.
- Bye.
Naruto took the drunk and went off somewhere and I went home. Hmm, I guess even in quiet places like this there are people like that. But I guess it's just natural, everyplace has idiots like that.
