~Day 5~

"Two days left and I still have no idea how to make him smile…God help me." I mutter softly as I walk on the streets of Konoha. I guess Naruto was right. What, I'm reaching is impossible no matter what. That it was a death trap. Maybe I should just stop. I know for a fact that he doesn't appreciate me hanging around him so much or the fact that I want to make him smile. I know I should give up but something in my gut just won't let me give up. 'Showing my father that I was worthy to be a Darkrai was way worst than this if I had given up on that I would've never met my supposed fiancé and if I hadn't punched him in the face. I would've never met Naruto and Kiba. So, I can't give up…not now!' I thought as I pass by the small chocolate store. I look at the window and saw a picture of guy giving his girlfriend a box of chocolates. And it kind of got me jealous. I can never have a normal relationship like that because I know the moment I get home my father will hand me to another wealthy family to strengthen our relationship with them. I won't have a romantic boyfriend to protect me, bring me flowers, kiss me like I'm the only girl in the world, and talk to me like best friends would. No, I'll never have that. In fact, I'm pretty sure by the time I'm 18 my father will be asking for an heir. I sigh at this sad thought, just as I was about to continue my walk somebody calls out for me. I turn around to see the shop owner coming out with a smile on her face. My face quickly lightens up when I see who it is.

"YAME-CHAN!" I shout as I pull her in for a hug. She returns the hug then pushes me to take a look at my face. She smiles cheerfully

"Mizu-chan you haven't changed one bit. You still look beautiful as ever."

"Yame-Chan…you have no idea how I much I needed to see a familiar face." She smiles in response as she drags me in her store. I quickly sit down. She goes into the kitchen to fetch tea and treats.

Ayame Shizuko is one of my very best friends. She has been and always will. She was the one who encouraged me when I was about to give up. So seeing her, just when I was about to give up, is irony at its best. After my father heard my friendship with her he quickly booted her to the nearest village and she disappeared from my life. I never thought that I'd actually see her here. In Konoha!

She comes back with a smile on her face as she places the tea and treats on the table. I quickly grab one and place it in my mouth as I sigh happily.

"I miss your treats Yame-chan." I mutter softy as she takes a sit in front of me.

"So, why did you want to see a familiar face?" she asks softly as she continues to stare at me.

I sigh sadly as I lower my head. "I think I'll never find love…Yame-Chan." I take another bite of her treats to make me happy but it doesn't.

"Ah…the teenage brain and heart is the most fragile of them all. But don't worry Mizu-chan everybody has somebody to love. You'll find yours soon enough. All you have to do is open your heart to the many possibilities that the world has to offer." I look up. Her smile was still plastered on her face. One of the many characteristics that I find, in her, beautiful.

"Remember the many quotes that I have shared with you. I'm pretty sure they will help you in the end." She continues, "And don't tell me you forgot because I know for a fact that, that big brain of yours can remember everything." I give her a slight giggle as I reach out for another treat.

"Arigato Yame-Chan…you really know how to bring a smile to my face."

"You're welcome."

I shift nervously in my seat as I look her in the eye. "Tell me have you heard of Sasuke Uchiha?"

"Heard of him? His practically my money maker." She pauses and laughs. "I have a million girls come in here buying chocolates for him and when he doesn't accept it. They still get a kick out of eating my treats."

"I'm pretty sure your customers are happy that you're selling your treats off of their broken hearts." I say sarcastically as she holds her hands up defensively.

"Hey, hey it's not like I don't warn them because I do but all I get is a response of 'I know but this time will be different'." She smiles casually as I reach out to get another treat. I look at her seriously.

"Well that will never happen. He hates sweets."

"Nani?"

I drink the tea as I pop another treat into my mouth. "He hates sweets but I know that he likes omusubi with okaka and tomatoes. I think he hates nattō which I don't get since it's really delicious." I mutter. She looks at me intriguingly but I didn't catch it as I was too busy savoring the treats.

"And do you know his hobbies?" She asks seriously.

I nod. My attention still fixed on treats that I was eating. "Hai, he likes taking walks and training."

"Do you know who his parents are?"

"Hai, Fugaku Uchiha and Mikoto Uchiha and he has a brother I think his name is Itachi."

"His birthday?"

"July 23."

"Blood type?" She asks surprisingly.

"AB…just like me."

"His height? Weight?"

"Somewhere between 150.8 cm1.508 m
4.948 ft
59.37 in-153.2 cm1.532 m
5.026 ft
60.315 in and 42.2 kg93.035 lb-43.5 kg."

"…Is he dating anyone?"

I look up at her and give her a surprise look. "Now, why would I know that?"

"My Gosh Mizuki, have you been stalking him?" She quickly catches my attention as I shake my head furiously.

"OF COURSE NOT! Why would you think such a thing?" I pout. I was a little angry that she could accuse me as a stalker.

"From the fact that you know everything about him?"

"I just notice those things and for the personal details I got those from his file. Like you said once I've heard it, saw it, and/or read it. I never forget it." I turn away from her gaze as I fight my urge to blush.

"Then what about the food and hobby. That can be possibly be in his file?" She starts to lower her voice but I still could hear the shock in it.

"Well, no it's not. I just formulate everything given to me and make out a conclusive result. It's a process. A long, brain aching, tiresome, and crazy process." I mumble as I couldn't fight the blush anymore.

"In other words you're in love with him."

I turn my head as I wave my hands. "N-no d-don't b-be r-ridiculous…I-I d-don't l-love h-him…f-far f-from I-It." it probably didn't come as a surprise that I stuttered…to her…but to me I didn't understand as to why I did.

"Mizuki Antoinette Anstey Darkrai…you are falling in love and you can't deny it anymore." I shake my head and stood up and avoided eye contact as much as possible. I went to the door and walked out to the streets.

"YOU CAN'T DENY IT FOREVER MIZU-CHAN…YOU'LL JUST HAVE TO ACCEPT THE FACT THAT YOU'RE IN LOVE WITH HIM!" she shouts teasingly. I turn around and glare at her.

"SHUT UP I'LL DENY IT FOR AS LONG AS I WANT. I'LL EVEN BURY IT DEEP IN MY HEART IF I HAVE TOO!"

She stares at me teasingly.

"IF IT'S ACTUALLY TRUE!" I add before she can say anything else.

"THAT'S NOT A GOOD IDEA MIZU-CHAN…YOU'LL DIE OF HEART PAINS!" She responds as she lightly chuckles.

I run away refusing to get into an argument with her, knowing that it's pointless. I refuse to listen to anymore of her nonsense.

What a way to say goodbye to an old friend, eh?
