The sun slowly sets behind the skyscrapers of the inner city in the distance. The house is warm as the little electric heater beat out hot air into the room. I'm sitting on the tatami flooring watching the TV. Would you believe me if I said I've never had a television? Well here I am watching the news in the main room of Akatsuki's Japanese home. Akatsuki is in the kitchen cooking dinner. I can smell it from the living room and it smells so good that my belly is rumbling. I haven't really eaten anything today. Yes I know that is bad but most times I don't get hungry.

All afternoon I was relaxing and exploring the home. It's going to be the first night having dinner in Akatsuki's home...a new experience which I'm going to be a part of for a long time.

My mood has changed so much ever since lunch time. I feel somewhat safer with Akatsuki yet at the same time it feels weird that I'm living with my teacher. I wonder what everyone will say if they find out. I'll more likely have just about everyone talking to me and about me. This will be a pain. It means no quiet lunch breaks or time on my own when I go to the library in the morning.

I sigh and lay down with my knees up and my feet flat on the ground. I stare up at the ceiling silently as the television keeps on playing. I can hear pots and plates clink and bang as Akatsuki cooks. I wonder what he is cooking. He is noisey about it which I can't help but almost laugh out. I've never really hard the urge to laugh but being with Akatsuki now makes me want to smile and laugh but you can say I'm uncomfortable about doing so, so I try not to show much emotion.

"Dinner is ready." Akatsuki calls while poking his head out the door of the kitchen. He smiles across at me beaming his white teeth.

"Okay." I drop the thought I had just a moment ago before I get up and use the remote to turn the TV off before walking to the door of the kitchen. "Umm, would you like me to set the table?"

"Yes please. That would be nice."

"Plates or bowls?" I say as I walk to a glass cabinet near the window off to the side of the room.

"Uhh, bowls please." Akatsuki walks into the living room and places down a tray on the brown low-legged table I was sitting at a moment ago.

I get out two rice size bowls with saucers and place them down on the table before sitting down on a cushion on the ground that Akatsuki got out for us. Akatsuki serves up some rice into both the bowls then put a yellow sauce with chicken pieces and what looked like potato. It smelled like spices, a curry.

It looks really scrummy. I pick up a spoon which is already on the table and scooped some of the curry into my mouth. The taste bursts alive in my mouth. I can taste all the different spices and chicken pieces. The potato is soft to chew too. It is a mild curry but still has a little bit of a bite to it. I am pleased with the flavour and I take another spoonful.

"This tastes so good. You're a great cook Akatsuki." I smile softly and continue eating.

"Thank you, glad you like it." For the next ten minutes there is silence except for the sound of our spoons hitting the China bowls. I finish up first and stand holding my bowl and spoon in my hands.

"Thank you for the meal." I walk to the kitchen and put my bowl in the sink. "Would you like a drink?"

"Oh umm, a glass of water please." Akatsuki says as I look in the cupboards and by guess it is the right cupboard. I get out two glass cups and fill them with water before walking back over to the table before sitting down placing one of the cups in front of Akatsuki. Akatsuki finishes his meal then takes a few gulps of the water before taking his bowl to the sink. I drink some of my water before helping clearing the table and entered the kitchen.

"I can wash up for you." I say as I stand at the sink and fill it with water and soap.

"You don't have to but thank you anyway." I suddenly feel Akatsuki's arms wrap around my skinny body from behind. My cheeks instantly flush red and I stand still.

"A-Akatsuki?" I wonder what he is doing. I don't even know why I am suddenly flushed and hot I mean he is just hugging me...but he is pressing against me! He leans his mouth closer to my ear before mumbling.

"I feel relieved that I've found you again..." It still questions me on why does Akatsuki feel better that now he has found me. Surely I thought it was just so he could give me the locket but Akatsuki also said he wants to protect me. I don't know if it was a request from my mother or Akatsuki just requested to my mother that he wants to protect me with his own will. Just when I think everything is starting to make sense I have yet another puzzle to solve.

Akatsuki rests his chin on my shoulder and the hug becomes more loose and relaxed. I look down at the dishes in the sink thinking for a bit as there is silence between us again. I finally broke that silence.

"Akatsuki...what am I to you?" My head is still looking down as Akatsuki pauses longer. I wonder what is going through his mind right now. What will his answer going to be? Whether he tells me the truth or hides it up with something else...I will never know...
