Leo's Authoress note: We wrote this chapter together too, it really is much easier. I've written 'bout what happens with me and Chun what happens on her side of it all.
Chun's Authoress note: Hey everyone! As you can tell Leo and I are back. Sorry it's been a while. Writers block is sticking around longer this time. Now for the reviews! Konoka: lol so you like Naruto and Chun? Hope you like this next chappie then lol. alatnet:Glad we got a new reviewer! I'm glad you like the story to. Now the thing about Leo and Chun reading Icha Icha Paradise...well to put it simply...Leo and I can at times be well...majer pervs. (Sorry Leo! But it is the truth!) lol well I hope you all enjoy this. R and R please!
Leo twiddled her thumbs and giggled slightly as she read through a particularly graphic scene in the orange little book Kakashi was holding. 'Geez, I'm prolly blushing like a virgin.' She thought and sneaked a peak at Kakashi. Ha had already gotten to the end of the book before she started reading it with him. Leo still stayed with him and read over his shoulder, though it wasn't just because she wanted to know what would happen in the book, (she used to read just as smutty romance novels on the net anyway. She already knew that the heroic priestess would get boinked by the mysterious wanderer in the end despite her faithfulness to her god) it was more because Kakashi was the one holding the book.
'Oh no,' Leo thought when her tummy growled almost as if it was scolding her for not eating more of Chun's delicious cooking before she left to find Kakashi.
"Sounds like someone skipped out on breakfast." Kakashi said amused and glanced at her. "Did not!" she defended herself, "I just didn't eat very much." Wanting to change the topic she searched her memory for something that could distract him. "Oi! You've got dogs don't you?" she asked happily.
"Yeah." He said after a moment of silence. Leo grinned "Can I see them?"
--------------------
Meanwhile Chun and Naruto were currently walking down a street in awkward silence. Neither one of them knew what to say to the other. 'OK Chun…..just chill and say something!' She thought franticly but it was no use. Hanging her head in defeat she sighed. Naruto noticed this and asked "Are you OK Chun?" Her face flushed when she realized he had noticed. "Oh…er…no nothings wrong. I was just uh….wondering if…um….you wanted to get some ramen?" Chun said quickly. Narutos face brightened up and with a cry of "RAMEN!" he grabbed her hand and began to run to his favorite ramen stand..
A few minutes latter Chun sat on a stool next to Naruto poking at her bowl of ramen. She wasn't hungry after all she did just have breakfast. 'Ugh….what's wrong with me? Why did I have to suggest ramen?' She thought. 'Because you know he loves it and you wanted him to have a good time.' A small voice in her head said. 'Who're you!" Chun asked startled. 'Me? I'm your conscious. You can call me Buba.' The voice said. Quirking an eye brow she thought 'Buba?' 'Hey don't make fun of the name! At least I'm not on a lame date like you!' He cried. Flinching slightly Chun looked to Naruto and saw he was happily eating. 'Well….it's OK. If he's having a good time then that's fine by me.' She thought. Besides they had the rest of the day to do whatever they wanted.
--------------------
"They're my summons," Kakashi said and snapped his book shut "I don't have them running around in my apartment."
"Oh," Leo stuffed her hands in her pockets "maybe you can summon them then?" she said hesitantly and swayed back and fourth on her heels.
"Well," he se drawled lazily "maybe I could. But first we should get something to eat." Leo looked up and asked "You're hungry?"
"Not really, but it sounded like you were." He said and started to walk away from the tree he had been leaning against. Leo blushed and started at her feet as she followed him 'buggar' she thought and cursed her tummy viciously. Somewhere in her mind she started a plan of revenge towards her own digestive system for ruining such a cozy moment. The only plan she could think of however was to eat so much that her tummy would get sick, a plan which she abandoned rather quickly when she received a mental image of herself in a hospital bed with several scary looking nurses trying to feed her some disgusting goo that she even in her imagination were unable to identify.
"Fine, so where are we going?" Kakashi didn't even look back when she asked. He briefly thought about to take her out for ramen but decided against it "My place." He said without much consideration.
"Your place? Are you going to cook?" Leo asked in disbelief. Kakashi looked a bit miffled as he turned around to glare slightly at her. "Yes I am. What of it?" He asked in badly hidden amusement. "Nothing." Leo replied quickly and shook her head to further make her point.
"You were pretty rude." Kakashi said playfully while somehow having his usual 'I'm bored' aura. (Leo had yet to figure out how he pulled that off.) "And you looked like a kicked puppy." She said cheerfully. "Where do you live anyways? We've been walking for like what?- ten minutes. I thought you lived close to here."
"I do" He said and pointed at a building not too far away. Leo blinked, and felt awfully stupid. "Oh." She mumbled quietly.
--------------------
Naruto leaned back and sighed. He was stuffed. Looking to Chun he saw that she had barely eaten half of her bowl of ramen. "Hey you're not gonna eat that?" He asked. Shaking her head Chun said "No sorry. You want it?" Naruto looked to the bowl. It looked really good but……he was just to full! "Nah that's OK." He said. A few minutes latter they were walking down the street once more. Yet again they were surrounded by an awkward silence.
That is until Naruto came up with an idea. "Hey I got something I wanna show you." He said suddenly. "Really?" Chun asked. He nodded and said "Yeah it's a little ways from here so we should get going." The two then set out towards where ever it was he was taking her.
"OK now close your eyes." Naruto said. She quirked and eye brow at him and he smiled. "Please? I want it to be a surprise." He said. Chun couldn't help but smile in return. "Alright." She said as she closed her eyes. Suddenly she let out a yelp of surprise and her eyes shot open. "Whoa! What are you doing?" She asked. Naruto was now holding her bridal style. "Just trust me and keep your eyes closed." He said.
Chun studied his face for a few seconds. 'OK….so what's he planning? I hope it's nothing….well…er yeah….' She thought. 'It's not like you'd object to anything he did.' Buba said. 'Yeah you're ri--HEY! That's not true!" She cried blushing a bit. The sound of Buba snickering filled her mind as she suddenly felt wind rushing past her.
