I'm NOT a GIRL (BoyxBoy) (RE-CONTINUED)

Cooking

(Back to Shi-chan's POV)

I knocked on Naruto's door as I held four boxes of miso pork ramen for me and him.

"Naru-kun! Open the door!" I knocked again before spitting out the stick part of my lollipop.

"Ugh..." Naruto groaned sleepily as he swung the door open. "Whaaattt..."

"I have ramen." I smiled as he instantly woke up and pulled me into his small apartment.

"Let's go eat in the kitchen then, yeah?" He smiled his bright smile.

"Okay." I followed him into his kitchen. He still wore his pajamas which were black sweats and a gray shirt with an orange flame on it. He also had some weird animal type hat thing.

"So, how are you?" Naruto asked as I set three of the boxes in front of him.

I took a seat across him and opened up my box of miso pork ramen. "I have been ... okay. Kaito.. Kaito died yesterday or the day before. And.. Well, Neji Hyuuga is living with me now."

Naruto nearly spit out a mouth full of noodles when I told him the scarest guy lived with me. He swallowed before daring to speak again.

"N-Neji? Why him?" Naruto sputtered out.

"The old man said he was mature and would lead me down a great path. Or something like that. Also, Naru... I want you to know something." I shyly looked away. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw him turn dark red. Gotcha.

"W-What?" Naruto muttered.

"Well, Naru-kun. I..." I looked at him with my big red eyes. His face darkened, if that was even possible. "I'm a guy."

His face totally dropped and he went paper white. "WHAT?!" He screamed causing me to cover my ears.

"I am guy, Naruto. I can prove it if you want." I began to stand up.

"N-No.. No .. It's okay. I believe you." Naruto was blushing again. I internally smirked.

"But I.. I always thought you were a girl. I mean, Shizuka is a girl name." Naruto looked really confused.

I shrugged. "I dunno. My parents probably thought I was a girl too. It doesn't bother me though." I smiled softly.

I finished my ramen a little before Naruto started his second one. I stood up and kissed Naruto's forehead and gave him a hug.

"See ya around, Naru." I waved before leaving his apartment and heading to the market street.

I entered the market street and saw a lot of booths and stores open. I went into the dairy place first. I bought milk, yogurt, butter, and cheese. I teleported the food to the fridge at home. 

I entered the butcher's store and got a small ham, some pork chops, sliced chicken, chicken thighs, a roast, a pork shoulder, and chopped up beef. I paid and then teleported the meat into the freezer at home. 

I left the butcher's place and entered the wheat store. I bought whole white bread, wheat bread, and blueberry, strawberry, and chocolate muffins. As I headed to the bakery, the bread stuff was teleported home. 

I entered the bakery and bought cookies and different candies. I teleported that home as I left the store.

I bought a few small bags of spices, some fruits, and some veggies.

Once I had teleported everything home, I popped a strawberry lollipop into my mouth before walking home. I stopped by the weapons store and bought more black stained bandages and normal white ones. I slipped the bandages into one of my pouches as I headed home.

I didn't get far because my stupid self bumped into someone and I almost fell. But, the person that I had bumped into had grabbed me, stopping me from falling.

I looked up to see Kakashi Hatake.

"Oh sorry, sensei!" I smiled softly. Kakashi just stared down at me before kneeling, bowing his head.

"Uh... S-Sensei what are you doing?" I poked his shoulder.

"One is suppose to respect royalty, especially one of a legend, young prince." Kakashi said.

Uh... WHAT! "I will be going now." I quickly ran home. Scared of Kakashi now. Though, from the Third, Yamato is way worse. Haven't met him yet, but I have this horrible feeling that I will in the near future.

It was dinner time and Neji was out with his team. I was cooking manicotti. It had riccotta cheese, spinach, and garlic with spices stuffed into a pasta cylinder type thing. ((Google it I guess))

I was pulling it out of the oven when the door open. The scent of sweat, blood, and woods hit my nose. It was Neji.

He walked into the kitchen and sat down. He looked tired and beat up.

I looked at him after setting the dish on the stove top. "H-Hello, Neji."

"Hi, Tomoko." Neji muttered.

"Are you hurt? Or hungry? I know you do not like my cooking, t-tomorrow I can cook something-" I started speaking, my voice slowly shaking.

"Just shut up and give me something to eat. I haven't ate at all today and yeah, I am a little hurt." He harshly snapped.

I flinched slightly before getting a plate and setting the stuffed pasta onto the plate. I set the plate in front of him with a fork.

"What is it?" He glared at the food.

"Manicotti. It is meat free. Just cheese, spinach, and spices." I was trying not to shake my voice, it made me feel weak. "Would you like some water or tea?" I looked at him, noticing a blood stain on his shirt.

"Water is fine." He slowly began eating. I got him a glass of water and set it down next to his plate.

"R-Remove your shirt, please... I can see y-you are b-bleeding." I was super nervous. Like, what if he hit me or snapped or something? I would hate to be hit. I don't like being hurt, no offense, it hurts.

He looked at me before taking his shirt, undershirt, and fishnet shirt off. I could see a horrible gash on his side. I went to get the first aid kit.

Kneeling, I took a rag out of a bucket full of water and rubbing alcohol. I wrung the excess water out before gently placing the rag on the gash.

I heard him hiss and almost shy away from the cold rag. "S-Sorry." I mumbled as I looked up at him.

He just kept eating as I cleaned his wound and wrapped it up. I couldn't help but stare. He wasn't the most defined male, not like Rock Lee or Guy-sensei who train so much they(no doubt) have some muscles. Neji had his trade mark pale skin, those defined hip bones that disappeared under his pants. He had a few scars from previous fights or training sessions. Not to mention, his skin was soft and his body gave off such a natural heat, it was crazy.

I stood up after bandaging him up and placed the first aid kit on the table. He had finished eating, so I took the plate away and went to wash it.

He didn't say anything as he got up and entered his room. I didn't expect a "thank you" from him or anything. That would be asking for too much. 

I went to bed, not eating, and stared at my ceiling as the night went by. I could hear Neji snoring so quietly it almost mixed in with the night birds and insects. But I heard it.
