Disclaimer I don't own Naruto only my oc's
"Time sure does fly. Look at you, I knew you would grow up to a beauty." Yuuma says as he takes a bite of chocolate cake. We were in the same restaurant and at the same table we met four years ago. A blush made its way to my face and I say quietly
"Thanks I guess, you don't look to bad yourself." I take a bite of my cake. He raise's a eyebrow at me and smirks. I clear my throat,
"So, what are you doing back here." I pop my elbow on the table resting my head on my hand.
"Um well I wanted to.. apologize to you, but I been busy lately. I'm sorry" He squints his eyes shut and tenses. I raise my eyebrows at him. Does he think I'm going to hit or yell at him. I Think to myself. I let out a loud breath,
"Don't worry about it. I forgave you a long time ago." I wave my free hand back and forth. He finally opens his eyes and looks at me with wide eyes.
"Really?"
"Yeah, but I would have liked if you would at least sent one letter." He begins to chuckle nervously,
"Hehe sorry about that, I didn't know your address." He gives me a closed eye apologetic smile.
"Hmm I guess I can forgive you for that." I take another bite of chocolate cake.
"Thanks."
"So how the music thing going." He brightens and scoots next to me.
"Great, I actually play with a band and write some songs for the band." He gives me a full teeth smile.
"Congratulations! Have I heard of them?" I returned his smile, happy that one of us is accomplishing our dream.
"Nah haha we are still working on getting our sound out there. We are only known in some town's in kumo and konoha. We are still working in getting our sound out there. We are kinda taking a break, that's also why I'm here."
"Ah I get it. I'm still proud of you." I bump him with my elbow. He ruffles my hair and I laugh.
"What about you, how's your father?"
"Oh um, I still work at the same place, but I am a waitress now and my father has gotten alot better thanks for asking." I take the last bite of the cake. He smiles than his facial expression turned serious.
"I'm sorry for not believing you about Ame. You were right, she even confessed everything to me right before she left with some rich guy. Such a cunt." He let's out a breath and leans back on his chair running his hand through his hair.
"I don't want remember that. I want to put the past behind me." I take his hand with mine. His eyes widened and looks into my eyes, I give him a half smile. He gives me a squeeze and looks at the direction of the paino
" I see they still have a paino. Do you want to play, for old time sake?"
"Yeah I will like that." He pulls me towards the piano.
The next day I was working and Manami comes up to me with a big grin on her face.
"Rina there is really cute guy asking for you. Is he one of your patients."
"Huh, who" she points to where he was with her head. I look over her shoulder to see it was Yuuma. I was surprised and I smiled, I walked up to him and have him a hug.
"What are you doing here." I say, leting go of the hug
"I thought I stopped by and see if you wanted to hang out ." He ruffles my hair and chuckles
"I work all day today, sorry." I give him an apologetic smile.
"Oh, can you ask someone to cover for you."
"Ummm."Before I can say anything, Manami speaks up from behind me, making me jump.
"I can take you sift."
"What?" I turn to her. She just rolls her eyes at me,
"Come on you workaholic, go out. Go act your age for once."
"You sure what about Haru." She shakes he head
"He will understand." she pulls me into a hug whispers in my ear
"Make sure you tell me everything."
"ok." I roll my eyes. We finally let go of each other, she looks between us grinning and turns away to head to lady chouko office, to tell her of the arrangement. I turn back to Yuuma, smiling we head out of the restaurant.
"So where do you want to go?"
"Well let's see were the night takes us." He grins at me. I nod back at him and remember what I was wearing.
"Can we stop by my house first, I want to change out of my uniform. " He looks down at me, then looks back ahead.
"I think you look good in it." He whispers.
"What?" I ask not knowing what he said.
"Oh !nothing! nothing! let's take you home, you still live at the same place." He says while turning pink and avoiding eye contact.
"Yeah, I still do." I raise my eyebrow at him wondering why he was acting weird.
Once we got to my home I walk in first,
"Papa I'm home." I call out. My father walks towards my with his brows creased together.
"Rina your home early?" I step to the side so he could see Yuuma.
"Hey I'm Yuuma Tsbaki. Nice to met you." He smiles at my father. Only fof him to slam the door in his face.
"Papa!" I asked shock about what he just did. He turns to me with tears running down his face and squeezes me into a tight hug.
"Rina! My little girl, you are growing up so fast. It feels like yesterday I was giving you a piggy back ride and you found boys icky, now you have a boyfriend." He says while patting my head. I then realized what he was saying,
"Pa-" he cuts me off.
"Well,I just want you to know that I love you."
"But Pap-" he lets go of the hug. Grabbing my by the shoulders he looks at me,
"No, Rina hear me out, I'm happy for you . I just wish that you told me, before you brought him" he grabs my hand with both of his and starts patting it. With my free hand I face palm.
"Papa." I try to explain only to be ignored again.
"Oh I wish your mother was here. Opps, I should invite him in." He let's go of my hand and opens the door. I call out after him before he embarrasses me,
"Wait Papa! w-"
"Come in uhhh"
"Yuuma Tsubaki" he tells my father. My father nods and steps aside to let him in.
"Yuuma, I have some words to speak to you, if you plan on dating my precious daughter." He walks beside him and pats his back. When Yuuma heard that his eyes went wide and turned pink looking at me.
"D-dating! what we are!" I shake my head at him and look at my father.
"We are not dating." I say, only for him shakes his head.
"You dont have to lie, I was you age once. Come, let's talk over some tea." He was about to lead Yuuma to the kitchen and I call out.
"Papa! We are not dating, he isn't my boyfriend, we are just friends. Believe me" He stops. He then looks to me then to Yuuma.
"What she said." He shrugs his shoulders and points with his thumb at me. My father gives us one more look and continues to lead Yuuma to the kitchen.
"I'm still going to talk to him. Rina, why don't you let me have a moment with Yuuma alone." I sigh in defeat,
"I have to change anyways, I'll be back." I say while leaving them alone. When I come back, I go into the kitchen to find Yuuma pale and my father giving him a hard serious look. They turn to me once I made myself known.
"Let's go." I ask Yuuma, he nods and we make our way to the door. My father pulls me to the side to give me a hug and a kiss on my cheek.
"Be careful ok...and I allow you to use this. You know, for safety." He gives me a kunai. My eyes widened. I take it from him and hide it before Yuuma could see it. I just nod at him, Yuuma and I walked out, once we gave my father one last look and wave goodbye Yuuma finally speaks.
"Your dad can be really scary, for a person with an illness." He chuckles.
"What did he tell you?" I asked. Just what he said to make him pale. He just shakes his head,
"He says, If I want to live i can't tell you." I sweat drop.
"sorry." I'm going have to talk to him when I get back, I promised myself.
"it's fine, so what do you want to do."
"I don't know. There's isn't much to do here." I shrug my shoulders. That is what sucky about living in a small town.
"How about a movie?" He suggests.
"Sounds like a plan."
"Do you know what's playing right now." I lift my hand to my chin and think.
"Umm... I don't know, but Im sure they have an action, a comedy and romance like always." I guessed.
" I guess a romantic film, since you like those." I turn to him and shake my head,
"I like the romantic instrumental music they put in those films. I don't mind any, you choose."
"Alright, if there is any horror movie we are watching it." He smirks at me hoping to get a reaction from me. I smirk back at him. Little does he know I grew out of my horror movie phobia years ago.
"Sounds great to me." He gives me a surprise look then grins,
"Don't worry, if you get scared I will hold you."
"Same goes to you." I laugh at him.
"Haha." he says sarcastic.
We actually did end up watch a horror movie, but it was so terrible and predictable. Yuuma and I we're laughing more than being terrified. Making the people around us get annoyed and shushing us, only to make us giggle more.
"So what do you think, will the serial killer win or will she escaped." He asks as he munches on popcorn.
"She will definitely survive." He shakes his head in disagreement,
"I don't know. I'm pretty sure the guy is going to kill her. She only made it this far because the boyfriend did everything and sacrifice himself." I take the popcorn bucket for him hogging it and say,
"Yeah, but she will survive. Only for the serial killer to go after her, to complete his task in a sequel." He nods at me agreeing it could end that way too.
"Loser has to pay dinner." He says
"You're on." We both grin at each other.
"One miso ramen please." Yuuma orders.
"I'll have the salt ramen." I tell the cook. He nods and begins to make our food.
"You know you don't have to pay. I'll feel guilty if you do." He says for the third time.
"It's fine, you payed for the movie. I got this."
"Nope, I wouldn't be a gentleman if I didn't." He puts his hand to heart and bows his head. I roll my eyes,
"Well I'm not breaking the bet i made, so sick it up." I grin at him.
"Alright." He gives me a warm smile.
After we ate, Yuuma decides to walk me home.
"Thanks for tonight it was fun." I say while looking up at the stars. I wonder what Tobi is doing. Just thinking about him brought butterflies to my stomach.
"It reminds me of the old times." Yuuma says staring at me, as I don't even notice.
"It really does." I sigh and look ahead of me.
"So what are You doing tomorrow."
"Working." I say in a bored tone.
"Again." I raise my eyebrow at him,
"We all can't live and eat for free super star." He just chuckles and ruffles my hair
"What about after work." I giggle while fixing my hair
"I get off pretty late."
"What about the morning." I was about to say yes, but I almost forgot about my training, which reminded me about the kimono I was going to get.
"I actually have something to do tomorrow morning."I look up at him.
"Are you avoiding me." He says in a playful tone and raises his eyebrow.
"No, I just have an errand that I forgot to do yesterday, because I bumped into you." I nudge him.
"I'll come with you." We finally reached the front door of my home,
"You'll be bored." I tell him. He then takes my hand and looks into my eyes,
"I don't think so, as long as I'm with you I'll have a great time." All the fun atmosphere vanished turning into a serious one. I was just standing their confused,
"Um" he was about to say something,but the front door opened.
"Good your home." My father says standing in the intrance with his arm crossed. That made us jump and pull our hands back.
"Papa." I say while holding my hand to my chest.
"Goodnight Rina, see you tomorrow morning." He smiles at me.
"Goodnight Yuuma, come by around 7." I tell him returning the smile. He turns to my father.
"Goodnight Hiroshi-san." He bows to him.
"Goodnight Tsubaki-san." He bows back. Yuuma gives me one last smile and walks away. I walk inside and take off my shoes.
"He didn't try anything did he." My father tells me. I let out a tired breath
"No Papa, we are just friends." He look like he was going to begin a lecture, but I cut him off.
"Here, I got you some take out." I hold up the take out ramen. His expression changed from serious to having stars in his eyes and takes the bag.
"Thank you!" He says going into the kitchen forgetting what he was going to tell me. I laugh and make my way to my room. I wonder what Yuuma was going to tell me, after some time thinking I shrug my shoulders forgetting about it and got ready for bed.
