Chapter 17 - SHOPPING

"Dinner's ready!"

Ayaka yelled as soon as Kakashi opened the door and almost made Kakashi jumped to the ceiling.

"What!?"

"I said dinner's ready, now let's eat!"

"Ohh... About that..." Kakashi suddenly remembered what Kurumi said to him before he left.

... Don't tell Ayaka...

And now he was beginning to wonder why she said that.

"What are you waiting for!?" Ayaka yelled. "I made sushi rice and miso soup. Your favorite, or is it my favorite"

"I'm actually not hungry..." Kakashi said with an awkward smile on his face.

"But I prepared it specially for you" Ayaka said with a sadden expression, which made Kakashi worried. "I spent do much time and money on it, are you not going to at least taste it"

[What happened to her?]

"Okay, I'll try the soup. But don't expect me to finish it!"

Kakashi said as he sat on his bed while Ayaka say on the only chair in the room.

"Now say Ahh" Ayaka said holding the bowl of soup as she slowly scoop a spoonful.

"You don't have to ...gahh, cough..." Kakashi choked on the soup as Ayaka forced it into his mouth, he quickly reached for the cup of water and gulped it down. "I said I'm going to eat, you don't have to kill me!"

"Oh, I'm so sorry!" Ayaka bowed her head.

"It's okay, at least the soup was surprisingly good"

"I did work hard to... Wait!, Surprisedly?!" Ayaka yelled. "What do you mean by 'surprisedly good'?"

"Oh, I didn't mean it like that" Kakashi apologized. "You just don't look like the type that knows how to cook, at all"

"You...." Ayaka said boiling with anger. "I'll have you know that I started cooking since I was six years old and everybody always love my cooking!"

"So, why are you suddenly being nice to me?" Kakashi asked. "This morning you look like a quiet girl, then you became noisy and now you're acting like you care about me. So tell me, what's your deal?"

"Huh?... Wh... What do you mean by that!?" Ayaka yelled. "You know what!?, I'm going to bed. You don't have to eat my food if you don't want to!!!"

Ayaka ran to her bed and covered herself with a blanket.

"That was not what I meant. I was just saying..." Kakashi said but didn't reply. "Just forget it"

Kakashi went to the bathroom and came out minutes later, Ayaka was already asleep. Kakashi walked up to her bedside and noticed tears on her face.

[She took what I said seriously]

He lay down on his bed, thinking about the demon that attacked him.

[That man, I hope he's okay]

"I've postpone your training till after the summer break" Yaze announced.

Kakashi who had woken up a bit earlier to meet Yaze at the training ground didn't know how to react, he wasn't actually looking forward to his training session with Yaze.

"Can't you just train me during the break?. It's not like I'm going anywhere" Kakashi said, trying to make Yaze reconsider.

"Actually, we're all going to the beach. It's the only week in the entire year where the academy takes everyone to anywhere the want to spend their vacation" Yaze explained. "Normally, Miss Natski is the one that get to pick the location but she asked for my opinion, so i suggested we all go to the beach"

"That's great, but shouldn't you have at least picked somewhere else to go, away from Japan?"

"I get sick when I'm in a plane"

"What about using a boat?"

"I get sea sick" Yaze replied.

"Okay, but we can always go to the..." Kakashi looked around but couldn't find Yaze. "I'll ask him to teach me that technique"

"That didn't take long"

Ayaka commented as Kakashi opened the door, He had left before she woke up so he hadn't been able to apologise for what happened the night before.

"I'm sorry"

"For what?"

"For what I said last night" Ayaka didn't respond so he kneeled down and begged. "Please oh great goddess, forgive this sinner for he knows not what he was doing"

Ayaka quickly grew a smile on her face.

"My worshipers usually ask for forgiveness with an offering, but I'll forgive just this once if you do something for me in return"

Kakashi stood up. "What is it?"

"I and Mira were planning on going shopping, the summer break is next week and I thought maybe you could come and help us choose a swimsui... Kakashi, are you okay!?"

Ayaka was shock as she saw blood flowing from Kakashi's nose.

"It will be my honor!"

"Than it's a date!, Meet me at the gate thirty minutes from now!"

"Yes ma'am" Kakashi saluted and ran off.

"I said thirty minutes later! And your suppose to change your uniform first!!!" But Kakashi was already gone.

{NOTE: Time passed, they went shopping. I'm just to lazy to write this parts because it's even too boring for me and I no nothing about romance}

Ayaka and Mira walled out of the shopping complex with Kakashi walking slowly behind them, carry their bags. There were so many that he could hardly walk or even see what's in front of him.

"Why I'm I carrying all the bags, for barely bought anything?" Kakashi muffled behind the stacks of shopping bags.

"Because that's what a gentleman is suppose to do" Mira replied.

"But I'm not a gentleman, I'm not even eighteen yet" Kakashi replied.

"Being a gentleman, or a man in any case isn't about age. It's about being able to help and protect those around you, especially the ladies" Mira explained.

Ayaka stopped and ran over to a man selling taiyaki at the other side of the road.

"Ayaka!, You're not suppose to be running around!" Mira yelled and ran after her.

"Wait for me!" Kakashi tried to run but hit his head against something and fell down, scattering everything on the ground.

...

"Ayaka, watch out!" Mira shouted as a car speedily approached Ayaka.

The car almost knocked Ayaka down but she quickly jumped, using the car as a stepping stone, she sent herself in the air and landed in front of the vendor.

"That was dangerous, if anything had happened to you it would have been my fault!" Mira lectured Ayaka as soon as she got to her.

Ayaka didn't look like she was interested in Mira's lectures, instead, she was more focused on the snacks as her mouth was wide open and drooled. Seeing that Ayaka was interested in the snacks, Mira reached for her pocket but she didn't have any money with her and neither did Ayaka, they wanted to buy a new swimsuit but they got too distracted and end up changing their entire wardrobe.

"Don't worry about it, you can have some" The vendor said and offered some to Ayaka.

"But you don't have to..." Mira said, trying to be polite.

"No, I insist. Besides, this girl saved my life once" He forced Mira to accept. " This is my way of saying 'Thank you'"

"If you say so..."

Ayaka quickly dragged the taiyaki and sunk her pointed teeth in it and spat it out almost immediately.
