To Sensei, With Love

Dreams and Ramen

My dreams were full of ninjas and large, nine tailed foxes. For some reason, I see Naruto to be more inclined to be related to my little Kurama, I think it's because of the little whiskers and that toothy smile that he gives. Sasuke seems like the ultimate cool ninja that everyone wanted to be. It made me wonder what Sakura would be as a ninja.

I wonder if they have a group photo of themselves when they were younger? Would Hatake still have that mask on? I wonder what's behind the mask? Maybe he got a really bad burn and he's embarrassed to have people look at his face. Or maybe he's been possessed by some evil and half his face is actually someone else's face like in that one movie.

The rest of my dreams were filled with Hatake and being an evil wizard. I'll admit that my curiosity towards Hatake was increasing, but the fact that he was in my dreams disturbed me. If I can't get away from him at school, nothing makes it any safer in my dreams.

I woke up with a drag in my step and I went to shower. Naruto had texted me that they would get me breakfast and would be at their usual spot. So I dressed up in some shorts and a shirt, pulling my black cardigan over me and putting my my hair in a side braid and left the building. That was after I said goodbye too my little Kurama.

I headed down to the cafeteria and as I came closer, I came to notice a mop of silver gray hair. I audibly groaned as I was finally in front of him.

"Well, aren't you having a swell morning?" Hatake smiled through his mask.

"I was until you showed up." Jeez, I can't escape him. He chuckled.

"I'm happy to have made your morning." I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms.

"Want do you want?" I stared him down. He had one of those tight shirts again from when we met and some navy blue almost skinny jeans.

"Well I came to ask you if you wanted to meet up sometime after your classes?" My eyes went back to his singular eye, heat rising to my cheeks.

"W-What's that supposed to mean?" My words stammered but I added a hint of annoyance to make it seem like I wasn't flustered by what he asked. I

"So we can work on the project I assigned in Intro. As the professor, I have to have it prepared before it's due."

"Yeah, so you won't forget it and do it last minute." I muttered, looking away. There was a group of girls that were walking by and they were shooting heart eyes at Hatake. I guess he noticed them and turned to look at them and waved with a fake smile I've seen him show ever since I've met him. The girls squeal and run off. I rolled my eyes. Fangirls. 

"So, what do you say? Ichiraku Ramen after your classes?" He asked. 

"You act like I know where that is." He sighed.

"It's it ramen bar that across the street of the book store where we ran into each other." 

"Oh, where I found out you were a pervert?" A smirk slid on my lips and he semi-glared at me. 

"I'm not a pervert." I rose my hands up defensively. 

"Hey, what ever floats your boat, but I don't roll that way." He really glared at me this time. "I'll be out by 4:15. I want you there punctually at 4:30, or else." 

"Deal." He offered me his hand and I just stared at it. 

"Deal." I said, moving my hand to the door of the cafeteria and pulling it open. He stared at me with a narrowed eye and I just stuck my tongue out at him and laughed, going inside. I went to the usual table that the two boys would be sitting at. I pulled my chair out and sat down with a little sigh.
