Satoshi ruffled the back of her hair as she walked through town. There were plenty of street vendors around, each stand holding its own kind of food. The different aromas drifted to her nose, causing her stomach to rumble. She hastily reached into her pocket and came up with few bucks and a couple of coins.
She stared at the small amount of money in her hand and frowned. "Well, there's gotta be something I can buy around here."
Satoshi walked down the street, looking for something she could afford. Her stomach let out another loud grumble as she continued her search. She almost cried as she passed her favorite bakery store their huge window display: rows of multi-colored cakes with ridiculously expensive prices written in elegant cursive.
She doubled back and pressed her face against the glass. "I want cake..." she mumbled, oblibvious to the stares she was receiving.

He didn't care about his surroundings. His face was pressed to the glass as another person was.
He still didn't quite care. The smell from the bakery was too much. Sure, he had the money, but he wasn't sure if it was worth the effort to go into the place, and buy the cake, AND eat it all at once. He'd prefer to go to the Ichiraku, where the two who worked there automatically knew what he wanted to order.
*sigh*
He checked his pockets. He was CERTAIN he had the money, for those delicious cakes. His fingers touched nothing as he dug through his pockets.
"Ah....hmm.." He slumped over against the window and sighed again. He turned his head to see the girl he had talked to before.
"Heh, this place isn't worth the trouble. Trust me." |

Satoshi's breathe turned into steam as it hit the surface of the glass. Her body was slightly aching because she had stood in the same position for quite a while. It took all her energy to tear her eyes away from the cakes. She finally pulled her face away when she heard a voice talking to her.
"Hm?" Satoshi said stupidly, not recognizing the boy at first. "Oh, Naruto!" she shouted after a few seconds of thinking. "I knew there was something familiar about that voice."
"What do you mean it's 'not worth the trouble?'" she asked, jabbing her finger against the window. "This place makes the best cakes! They're always sweet and melt in your mouth." She closed her eyes for a spilt-second, imagining the flavor.
Her eyes snapped open when her stomach growled yet again. "Do you know a place with good food?" She suddenly remembered the little money she had in her hand. "A cheap place?" she added with a sheepish grin.

Naruto smirked and put his arms in the back of his head.
"Hehe, heya Satoshi!" He took a glance at the window once more and turned back.
"Well yeah, they are the best cakes, but uh...not a good thing to think about when you can't afford them ya know?" He stopped himself in his sentance "Ah not like that, not like that. I'm sure you could afford you, but aaghh! Nothing I say comes out right, I'm so hungry!"
He shuffled through his pockets again and his fingers picked out a few slips of paper and lint. He unfolded the papers and lay them in his hand.
"Oooh! I have coupons for the Ichiraku! Sweeeeeet!"
"Definantly the best food on this planet! It's cheap too! Yessssss!" Naruto did a little dance in place, waving the tickets in the air.
"Oh! You should come to! These expire soon and I need to use them ya know. You can have one if you want, I'm heading to the Ichiraku now actually." He handed Satoshi a slip of paper with the text 'Free Ramen, Applicable Until The Full Moon - Ichiraku Ramen'.
He aboutfaced and started down to the direction of Ichiraku Ramen. He looked back. "Eh, you coming?"

Satoshi just continued to grin as Naruto spewed random sentences out of his mouth. She honestly didn't understand one word he was saying. She couldn't help but burst out laughing when the blonde started dancing with his hands in the air.
"Really? I can have one?" she asked, looking at the paper he was offering her. "Thanks!" she said happily, not bothering to wait for a reply. She took the coupon from him without another word and silently read the text to herself.
"Oh yeah, wait up!" Satoshi called, rushing forward.
"So, is Ichiraku Ramen good?" she asked once she caught up to him. "I've heard of it but I never actually went there before."

He walked with his hands behind his head, one eye closed to deflect the sun and the other one slowly scanning around.
His head turned when he noticed Satoshi alongside him.
"Oh yeah, best ramen IN THE WORLD! I've been eating there for as long as I can remember!" He took a hand out from behind his head to scratch under his headband and placed it back in place. "Gah...it's so hot today. My clothes are sticking to me..."
He glanced up and saw the Ichiraku about 60 feet off. "YESSS!" He pulled his hands down to his sides and clenched fists. He sped off towards the stall at lighting speed.
"HURRY UP!!! WHOOOOOOO!!!" He called back to Satoshi, turning his head long enough to walk into the side of the stall's wall and sliding down onto the ground.
The stall keeper's daughter, Ayame, looked over and smiled. "Hey dad, it's Naruto again!" She called over the counter to her father at the ramen dishes.
The man glanced over and smiled. "Oi Naruto. You're bound to break my stall if you don't watch where your going."
Naruto looked up and smirked. "Hehe, I couldn't resist. It's hard to pay attention with more than once thing ya know." He stood up, dusted himself off and took a seat at the counter.
"Oi! Satoshi!" He waved to her and patted the seat next to him.

"Yeah, it is pretty hot today," she agreed, using her hand to shade her face. "How can you stand wearing that orange jacket in this heat?"
Satoshi stared wide-eyed as Naruto suddenly let out an excited shout. He put on a burst of speed and ran towards the small stand up ahead. She saw him heading straight for one of the walls.
"Hey!" she shouted quickly. "Look out for-"
There was a loud bang. She couldn't hold it in and started laughing again as she saw Naruto collaspe onto the ground. She lifted her gray wings and flew over to the stand. Satoshi jumped into the seat and sniffed the air.
"Smells awesome!" she exclaimed with a grin, clapping her hands together. She took out the coupon Naruto had given her earlier.

The ramen stand owner grinned and tossed two filled bowls down the counter the bowls sliding exactly in front of each of the ninja. A thick smell wafted off from the top of the bowl.
"Pay me after you two finish. I have some things to take care of in in the back." The shop owner smiled and turned to exit the back of the building.
"Hehehe, pork ramen! My favorite!" Naruto took a pair of chopsticks from the spot next to the dish rack and snapped them apart.
"Mmmm." He turned his to Satoshi, nodded with a grin and turned back to his meal. "Idakimasu!"
Naruto dove into the bowl, picking the ramen up at lightspeed and swallowing it even faster. He slurped the ramen intently, absorbing the flavorfilled soup into his seemingly bottomless stomach. He picked the bowl up and drank the entire broth from the bowl and stacked the empty bowl on the rack.
He sighed deeply. The raman counter girl came around. "Another bowl Naruto?"
"I wish. Hehe, I'm poor today."

((Sorry for not replying for so long, my computer has a ton of viruses on it. It'll probably be a while before I post again. XD))
"Thank you!" Satoshi called as the man turned around and went inside. She took the pair of chopsticks and snapped them in half. She swirled the noodles around the broth before picking some up.
She lifted the chopsticks to her lips and slurped nosily. "Mmf, dis tastes really guf!" she exclaimed, her mouth full of noodles.
Satoshi looked over to Naruto and stared at him in surprise. He was already finished devouring his bowl, and she had only taken a few bites. "Wow you eat pretty fast!" she commented, swirling the noodles onto her chopsticks.
This time she took a huge bite of the ramen, wanting to finish the bowl before it cooled off. Again she started to talk with her mouth full, being her usual unlady-like self.
"Hey Maruto," she said, her words covered with half-chewed food. "You mow dat misshun you were on before? Whem you found me training? What did you have to do, I meam, you were pretty beat up-"
Satoshi paused and let out a huge cough, slightly choking on her noodles.

((hey it's no problem. My computer doesn't love me anymore anyways ;( ))
The blonde smirked and sit back in his stool, his arms across his filled stomach. He sighed as the fans stationed around the ramen stand FINALLY began to kick in.
"Gaah.." He closed his eyes a moment and let the cool air flow through his hair and over his face.
Satoshi began speaking and he opened an eye and glanced over to her.
"Hmm, the mission...Hmm.." He thought for a second, waiting for his mind to kick into gear from the heat.
He face palmed himself as it came to him suddenly.
"Ah right! I was escorting a missionary from the Cloud!" He scratched at the bandages over his neck.
"Aaah, I got into a few scrabbles, nothing much. No one can take me down. Hehe." He smirked and flashed a 'V' sign. "Cause I'm the future Hokage!"
