Chapter 5
Ichiruka's.
Best freaking ramen stand ever.
Naruto really wasn't kidding when he said ramen was the best thing ever, especially when it's Ichiruka. It's like cup noddles or maruchan but better. Heck, it was is insulting even comparing them to maruchan or cup noddles. Ichiruka's ramen didn't taste like water with really soggy noddles and mushy vegetables. It was like heaven in a bowl. I think I moaned when I first tasted it.
Too soon the bowl was empty.
A great tragedy indeed.
"It's gone Already!, I wasn't even finished-ta! Beweve it!" I heard Naruto cry in dispar. I patted his shoulder in sympathy.
"I believe you Naruto, I truly do." A sniff. "I too, am going through with what your going."
"It's not fair!" He wailed.
"I know Naruto, I know." I whispered as he leaned into me. "It was gone too fast but, Naruto, we all must go through a time where we reach that final noddle and we know that you will probably have to wait a couple minutes for our next bowl. But it'll be worth it because there will come a time were we will relive those moments of deliousness. We just need to be patient."
Naruto sobbed. "Your so wise Araka-chan!" He sniffed. "But it just takes soooo long, Beweve it!"
I put a finger to his lips. "Shhhhh, it's Arata-nee-Chan now."
"R-rwght"
A laugh interrupted our little show of sadness. "Was it really that good?" A man said, when I looked over he glowed, he didn't glow as brightly as Naruto but it still slightly stung. He was sitting in stool next to us, lazily playing with his own ramen.
"If by good you mean heaven then yes, it was good." I said, Naruto yelling out a 'Believe it' in the background. He laughed again."
"Really? It tasted like plain old ramen to me." He shurgged. Naruto and I gasped.. I leaned back, clutching my chest as if he punched me.
"How could you?!" I furiously whispered.
"Yeah! How could chu?!" Naruto repeated. Before the man could reply two bowls of ramen were set in front of us.
"Here you are." A younger looking Teuchi said.
The other man forgotten, we dug into our meals. Slurping and chewing the deliousness that was ramen. We ate until we were full, and even then we ate until we were sure that our stomachs were on the brink of exploding. Naruto leaned back and patted his stomach.
"That was the best ramen I've ever had!" He exclaimed, and then looked at me with wide eyes. "Can we go here everyday nee-chan?!"
I shurgged and dug through the small pouch of money I had. "No, I only have enough money for a small toy." I pouted.
He let out a whine. "Whyyy?"
I leaned into him sighing dramaticly. "The world is a cruel and unfair place."
He rubbed his eyes and then suddenly yawned. "I'm sleepy."
I yawned immediately after him. "Same."
"Araka?"
"Hmmm?"
"Do you have a last name? Mines Uzumaki."
I blinked. That was random, but now that I think about it. I never was given a last name, it was always just Arata."No, I don't. It's just Arata."
"Oh," Another yawn. "You can have mine. Araka Uzumaki."
I blinked again. Naruto was such a sweetheart. How could anyone hate him? It was unbelievable. "Thank you."
He hummed, and then his body slumped against mine.I sighed and slid from my stool, catching Naruto as he fell after me. I grunted as I put his arm around my neck, and dragged him out of the bar. This was really too much work for a two year old.
Done!
I'm sorry, but updates are going to be less often then usual, with school and other stuff... There isn't much I have to talk about, not that any of you read the author's -_-
Did that sound mean? Apparently my sister thinks I sound mean in my A/N.
DarkDust27: It does motivate me, I cherish each and every single review I receive. Also, don't worry there will be plenty of smacking some sense into Sakura later, my dear;)
1: I know, I know, I run out of imagination to fast..BUT I'm actually planning on writing a different story, that revolves around Arata and her after encounters with the Characters. That means the aftermath of the meeting with the Uchiha's and now, Naruto, but if you don't want to read that I'm glad to say that the chapters are going to be longer than usual now! Just give me some patience:) Also I am terribly sorry that your username is messed up. FNF is being a jerk.
CalicoKitty402: Thank you:)
Minamichi (Guest): Sadly romance is not a priority in this story, it will take the back seat, but I am still debating who to pair Arata up with, I'll probably make a poll later on. Anyways, thank you for reviewing.
