ooc; For Kaneru (Kaemon) only!
bic;
Her footsteps were quick and hurried and although she stumbled every now and then Nikooru was yet to fall. She was in a hurry to get to the ramen shop, her stomach already rumbling with lack of food in her belly. Once arriving the girl brushed past the banners and clumsily fell on top of the stool. She quickly recollected herself and brushed a few hairs from her face. Nikooru grinned sheepishly at the owner and ordered her usual, panting as she waited.
The steam from the cooking noodles drifted to her and she breathed in deeply, inhaling the fresh hot scent. As soon as her food arrived the girl began slurping up the dripping ramen, bits of juice splashing onto her face and hair. Making satisfied noises in her throat, the kunoichi chugged the remaining juice and without hesitation ordered a second bowl. An evil grin painted her features as it arrived as she began wolfing down her food once more.
ooc; Sorry it sucks so bad TT-TT

ooc: eh, mine's worse >< well, here goes nothing.
Soft and slow footsteps tapped against the hard dirt road, kicking aside small stones and crunching the few leaves that littered the path. The young Jonin was in no hurry to reach his destination: the Ramen Shop. He cared little for ramen but he felt like it that day and decided to pay the shopkeeper a little visit. Once Kaemon had reached the shop he could see (and hear) that there was a young kunoichi sitting at one of the stools. He gave a small tired sigh and sat down at the farthest stool. He ordered, his words barely audible to anyone else in the shop but the shopkeeper and then crossed his arms and lay his head down on them to rest. Today had been a difficult day for Kaemon. He had been gone on a four day mission and had only just returned without even heading straight home. His first thoughts were of food. His ramen came rather quickly and he took in the strong aroma of hot water, spices and noodles. He immediately began to eat, though not as quickly or uneatly as the other customer. He sighed every once in a while, trying his best to ignore her but he began to become irritated over the slurps and splashes that the girl made. At one point he just couldn't stand it.
"Could you give it rest?" he said harshly, glaring and then turning back to finish off his bowl of soup, already a quarter empty.

Already realizing there was another presence among her, Nikooru made no effort to quiet down her slurps and swallows. She continued eating happily, only ignoring the other costumer until he spoke and she recognized the tone immediately. Turning her head slowly she wasn't surprised to see Kaemon the owner of the voice. The girl fought back a blush and stirred her ramen with her chopsticks, an excuse to not look at him.
Quickly stuffing a bunch of noodles in her mouth she turned back to him with a mysterious glint in her eye, "no," she replied with a muffled tone and a smirk. Swinging her legs, Nikooru then continued eating, a little more loud than before, her eyes closed with contentment and a smile warm on her lips.

Kaemon immediately turned back surprised, recognizing the voice.
"Oh god, Nikooru. Er, well sorry then I guess. I didn't know it was you," he apologized, though wanting to take it back as she slurped and ate louder than before. He throbbed.
"Thanks. Great," he also added, turning back to his half-finished soup. He ignored the girl as she swung her legs back and forth and continued to eat. His eyes however couldn't help but look back at her, but he made as casual as possible.
"Why are you here anyway? I mean, besides to eat. I haven't seen you in a while..." he said, looking back at the contents of his bowl, his reflection in the yellow-ish soup. He ran a hand through his jet black hair smoothly and took another mouthfull.
ooc-that was short srry

She giggled silently with success as he apologized then quickly finished off her remaining ramen. Swallowing hard she continued to listen to him speak, her eyes trailing his face. Nikooru then looked at her swinging feet for a second before returning her intent gaze to Kaemon. It was true, she hadn't seen him in a while (much to her disapointment), and his arrival brought her joy, joy in which she hidden with her usual pestering.
"Haven't seen you in a while either..." she commented back rather quietly, shifting her bowl around with her palms. She felt her cheeks hot and continued to move her bowl around, searching her mind for something to say without sounding stupid (which was hard for her). Finally as he began eating again the girl's bright eyes lifted, her face back to normal hue and temperature.
"I should be asking you why you're here," she paused and raised an eyebrow, "you don't even like ramen."

Kaemon stopped in mid-swallow, paused and then swallowed fully.
"Well yeah, but, well..." he started, not really sure WHY he was here in the first place. He scratched the back of his head uneasily, trying not to show any confusion on his features.
"If you really want to know, I'm hungry. Why else? And yeah, I don't like ramen. It was just the first thing that came to mind," he retorted, averting his eyes. He sighed.
"And I just came back from a four day mission. What have you been doing? Harrassing the neighbours I'm guessing?" he said, smirking and taking another mouthful of ramen. Kaemon turned his head around behind him, watching people pass the shop. He then turned back and finished his bowl.
ooc- i suck. D: sorry for very short posts. I cant rp emo ppl ><

As he stuttered Nikooru covered her mouth with a small hand, trying to surpress a giggle. She stopped swinging her legs and pressed her elbows against the counter, her face toward him and back leaning in with behind sticking out on the stool. The girl grinned warmly at him, hoping he'd stay despite his disliking for the warm food. She really liked, as a friend. Or so she thought, Nikooru honestly didn't know what her heart was going for so she considered it a friend-like love.
"Not just the neighbors," she responded slyly with a dangerous smirk, trying to hold back her laughing. Green-gray eyes sparkled with enthusiasm and she wiggled in her seat, excited for the company. She stirred her ramen more then opened her mouth to stuff some in with an 'ahhh.'

Kaemon secretly rolled his eyes as he finished up the last of his ramen and stared at the remaining pool of soup at the bottom of the bowl. His face was the usual expressionless mask he wore on a daily basis, hiding his thoughts and feelings. As Nikooru replied, he sighed, slightly annoyed.
"Yeah yeah, you mean like me?" he replied bitterly, not really caring if he offended her. She would probably take it as a joke anyway.
"Well, I'm done. I'll see you around Nikooru...I guess," he finished, pushing himself off the stool and nodding a weak good-bye to his kunoichi comrad. He stuffed his hands in his pockets and slowly and casual toook a few steps forward to advance back to his apartment. He wondered if she would follow him.
ooc- srry for the late reply i was on vacation and then you and lani slept over lol xD

ooc;
Lani delays us from all important tasks xD

Staring at him for a few moments, Nikooru soaked in what he said then simply let it go without a care. She blinked a few times and shrugged, returning her attention to the good before her. The kunoichi pretended like she didn't care what others thought of her, and for the most part it was true. However for some reason whenever Kaemon mumbled an insult as he usual did she felt damage inside.
As his usual lame departure caught the girl's notifiction she quickly stood, her stool screeching back and empty ramen bowl wobbling. Not intending such noise, Nikooru winced but then ran after him almost slamming into the poor boy's back, "Err...."
"Wait!" she struggled, biting her lip with nervousness, "a-are you..." she trailed off, trying desperately to think of a question to ask to keep him around for longer or at least talk to him a bit more. Finding little success the girl blushed madly and quickly spun around, speeding back into the shop and whipping the banners shut behind her.
"Baka!" Nikooru scolded herself, elbows on table and hands clutch the hair on the back of her head. Shaking slightly, a few thoughts quickly came to mind. Scowling again, Nikooru began talking to herself, "there's a thousand and one innocent questions," she mumbled under her breath with a groan. "Are you going to the festival!?" she asked rather loudly to herself with a frustrated tone, and began glaring as the shopkeeper gave her a weird look.

ooc- yeah lol xD
Kaemon was rather surprised when Nikooru came darting after him, almost slamming into him. He didn't have time to turn around when she was back at the shop. He looked in time to see the banners flap in. He sighed and was slightly puzzled, though he didn't admit it. He sighed, tired and slightly annoyed. Her behavior always frustrated him. Nevertheless, he made his was back to the shop and stopped as he took a step in, hands still in his pockets. He heard her shout out a random question.
'Probably what she wanted to ask,' he thought.
"Well, no, I wasn't planning on it. Are you asking me out on a date?" he asked curiously, raising a brow. He scratched the back of his head, unsure if that's what the girl was talking about.
'Damn, I shouldn't have come back. She doesn't matter to me...'
ooc- lamest post ever. its so short! D:

Immediately freezing up, Nikooru turned around slowly to face Kaemon, her cheeks flushed and eyes dull. Apparently he had heard her question, unfortunately for the girl that was not what she was intending. Swallowing hard with more nervousness, the kunoichi furrowed her brow and pretended to be disgusted.
"You?!" she asked, her usual tone covered with fake surprise and slight amusement.
"Yeah right, like I'd ever!" exclaiming this with little enthusiasm, her face quickly returning to normal color. However Nikooru turned away without hesitation anyway, her face now hidden by ruffled hair and hunched shoulders.

Kaemon was obviously not amused. She was wasting his time.
"Pfft, yeah, whatever. Just thought that was what you meant when you screamed 'are you going to the dance'," he replied sarcastically, turning away again.
"Later then. That wasted a bit of rest time..." he murmured, shrugging. He suddenly stopped and found himself pausing for a longer amount of time than intended. He was slightly confused with this and frowned to himself. He turned toward the girl slowly again, hoping not to make too much noise. He quietly stepped toward the girl and to his surprise he gently placed a hand on her leaning shoulder. He grew sort of dizzy and said his words without really knowing what he was saying.
"But if you really want...I...can, you know..." he whispered without much emotion. His lip twitched at his sudden compassion but he slowly and calmly slid his hand down from her shoulder and back to his side. He clenched his fist and his his face behind his bangs.
"Nevermind. What am I thinking? You don't want me to go with you anyway. And you might not even go yourself..." he said partially to himself in a low tone, not lifting his head. He just stood there.

Pouting angrily, Nikooru's eyes gleamed and she began turning around, "I only said that beca-" but she was cut off when she noticed his hand. Stopping in mid-word the girl's mouth was still open and her eyes widened with shock. Unable to speak, a blush ran across her face quickly and her heart began pounding.
Suddenly she felt very heavy in her head and it was hard to concentrate, her mind thrust into tunnel vision. Barely hearing his words, Nikooru then locked her eyes on him as he turned away, closing her mouth fast and wincing. "I-umm... I-I" she began but couldn't conduct her mouth to form the right words.
"Umm..." the girl trailed off then squeezed the fabric on the end of her shirt. She looked down at her tight fists and bit her bottom lip, trying to focus. The vibrations of her heart seemed amplified and they trailed through her body mercilessly. Swallowing hard, Nikooru looked up helplessly at Kaemon again.

Kaemon was very confused with himself and Nikooru. Why was she acting so...strangely towards him? He never really noticed if she ever had acted the same way before but...And why did he feel like...he wanted to get closer to Nikooru? His head was spinning but he couldn't understand why. "Well, so what are you saying?" he finally said with his usual voice but slightly softer. His face still behind his bangs, he lifted his palm to his forhead to try and focus. "Er, listen I'll go with you if you're going and all. Sure, but er, I need to get home now..." he said uneasily. He was honestly confused. He waited for her answer in a rather akward state. ooc- shortness yay  |

Never faced with this challenge before, and never expecting it, especially from Kaemon, Nikooru's legs and hands began shaking. Although her shaking was barely noticable her problem was she felt as if her insides were constantly churning around the interior of her body. She felt as hif she needed to throw up from the sensation of butterflies in her stomach yet she enjoyed every second of it.
From the movement of his hand Nikooru wondered if Kaemon felt the same way, and couldn't help but smile. She wiggled in her sit and stared down at her fists again. Struggling to cease her grinning, the girl looked up at him with sparkling eyes. Happiness was shining through her beaming face and expressive eyes, as well as the clean pink hue on her cheeks.
So she wouldn't miss a word the kunoichi stood and pushed back her stool, running toward him. She went slightly pigeon-toed and tried another smile, "s-so if I go you'll want to go with me?" she asked with a sly glint in her eyes, she wanted to see his reaction.
