Chapter Two: Getting to Know Each Other
DGM POV
"This girl's so cute! Just like my sister!" Allen exclaimed to Lavi while hugging Sakura who did not understand what he spoke. [Sakura only knows Japanese, Allen spoke English.]
"Eh? When did you even have a sis, Allen? I thought you were adopted?" Lavi asked, scratching his head as he went through his mental records of Allen's history.
"What I mean is that Mana had adopted another child after adopting me and- WAAARGHHH!"
The boy's face scrunched up in pain as he retreated away from Sakura. Apparently, it was the blond ninja that had decided to punch him all of a sudden.
After recovering from the shock and pain, Allen watched, half annoyed and half amused, at Naruto who was raging about something in Japanese. Even though the snowy haired exorcist could not understand what he was saying, he knew that there were profanities involved.
"What's the problem with this guy?" the exorcist scoffed, "First he's acting all buddy-buddy with us and the next thing you know it, he freaking punches me right in the face!"
Kanda moved forward with a serious demeanour, with his usual poker face except that he was slightly smirking.
"You got the lil' shrimp's girlfriend, Moyashi, he thinks you're hitting on her."
"What? Just tell him I just find that she's like my little sister! And don't you dare call me Moyashi you…you Bakanda!"
The Japanese exorcist walked over to Allen and gave him a quick but excruciating forehead flick and then proceeded to reason things out with Naruto.
A few moments later the ninja in the black and orange outfit had calmed down.
"Naruto says we should spend the night at Konoha while we try to figure out how to get back to Britain," Kanda explained while gesturing at Naruto, who grinned sheepishly.
As the exorcists walked down the streets of Konoha along with Naruto and Sakura, they saw many curious folk-all ninjas, the exorcists assumed-peeking out of the windows of their houses.
Konoha was a small town that was partially surrounded by a tall mountain cliff. On the mountain face there were rock carvings of four men.
"What are those carvings for?" Lavi stopped and asked, pointing in the direction of the cliff.
Kanda paused in his tracks and seeked answers from the two natives.
"Those four are the late Hokages of Konoha. I suppose that a Hokage is what their king or leader is called."
They arrived at a small apartment that was squashed between two adjacent buildings.
Naruto spoke to Kanda and the tall exorcist translated.
"He says that we can stay at his place for the night."
Lavi put on a jovial smile and thrust his arm over the said ninja's shoulders affectionately.
"Thanks man, we really appreciate it."
Naruto seemed to understand and replied by winking and giving Lavi the thumbs up sign.
As if on cue, Allen's stomach began rumbling uncontrollably, causing the group to break into giggles.
Naruto pointed at the exorcist and mimed eating with chopsticks, then moved two fingers separately back and forth to indicate walking and pointed at himself.
"Ramen, OK?" he said.
"Okay!" Allen exclaimed.
They arrived at a small but cozy roadside stall. A teal-coloured banner displayed in front of the shop read 'Ramen Ichiraku'.
A ninja with short jet black hair sat at the counter, drawing in a sketchbook with brushes.
"Sai!"
The blonde ninja and pink haired kunoichi waved to him. He seemed shocked at the exorcists but regained his composure quickly.
"That guy reminds me of Kanda," Lenalee whispered to Allen, who laughed and joked, "I hope he isn't as rigid as a rock like our Kanda." The comment earned him a fistblow to the head by none other than the swordsman himself.
The exorcists took their seats alongside with their new friends while the ramen shop owner dished out bowls of ramen for them.
The ramen was decorated with colourful fishcakes, seaweed and slices of freshly cooked meat arranged in an artful manner by the shop owner. The smell of the handmade noodles and soup wafted in the air to their noses and warmed their bodies in the cold weather.
Unable to withstand hunger, the group tucked into their hearty meal.
"Itadakimasu!"
