[Chapter 20: Meet and Greets with the Folks!]

"Hello, Akasuna-san!" I greeted when I met the redhead beauty again at the same hotel entrance all those few days ago. It was now the fated day of our little 'tour' and I thought that to hell with my bun, letting it drop down to my back. And when I mean tour, I mean just going to the usual cafe and meeting Hiro there to discuss some things. "Sorry if I had'ta make ya wait."

Actually, it was Temari who confronted me just after the preliminaries to inform me that I should go to the hotel before going anywhere. The gorgeous blonde told me that Kugui is prone to get lost (pffffffft) when not on a mission. And so here I was, almost late cuz of my dreams of Sasuke losing to Itachi in a Just Dance match. It was Gangnam style by the way.

"No, no, it was fine." Was all she said politely, turning away from me. "Well, then: shall we go?"

I giggled, "Sure, but..." I pointed at the other direction, "You're facing the wrong way." She blinked before swiftly rotating around, seeming unaffected. But, based on the slight change of her posture, I can tell that she's embarrassed. I giggled, that's adorable, grabbing the hem of her kimono sleeve and dragged her along with me.

The walk was quiet and bit awkward but it made sense: we were practically strangers! I think the only times that two strangers click together in an instant are in some reincarnation story or some cringey fanfic (oh wait-). Anyways, I decided to make it better with my awesome singing (bob the builder style)! I think she enjoyed it as I felt her relax just a little from my grip: she has yet to make me let go so that's a good sign.

It had taken us about 5 minutes (if we were civilian it would have taken us much longer) when we got there. Entering, we found our table in the corner with Hiro already waiting for us. "Yo took you long enough," Hiro greeted with a small wave.

"Yeah right," I replied as I scooted next to him, Kugui settling at the other side. "We're not even late. You're just a person who likes to be early and suffer in boredom!"

"So what, Princess? It's better than dreaming about weird fantasies." He retorted with a small smirk.

I playfully pouted at the Hyuuga, "Hmm? It not weird: they're amazing! You just can't see that!" He let out a small laugh; I gasped. "Did you just mock me?!"

Before we could say anything else, a throat was cleared. Turning our head, we focused our eyes back at the adult with her fist close to her mouth, eyes closed but brows slightly furrowed together. I giggled at her, leaning back into the chair, Hiro also doing the same. "I'm sorry to interrupt but weren't we supposed to talk about some things?"

"Oh-- yeah, but let's order some food," I clapped my hands together, sensing someone approaching our table. "Speaking of food..."

The bell next to me jingled, indicating that our waiter is here. Grabbing a part of the curtain that separated us from the civilian, I pushed it away. "Hello again!" Our waiter cheerfully greeted with his pen and notepad in his hands.

"Chiaddo-san!" Both Hiro and I greeted back, waving excitedly at him.

"How've the Chunin exams been?" The adult male asked.

"Nothing much: just escaping death and Megumi being an idiot." Hiro casually responded back, earning a 'Hah?!' from me. "Oh yeah, I'm going to be in the final phase too." The dark-haired man added in.

"Nice. I wish I could see the finals but the boss ain't closing that day. Sad, I know." He sighed with a shrug. "You two want the usual?" Chiaddo Maiduda questioned, having a knowing grin as he knew that we would never change our order, the food was that good. I nodded eagerly as he pretended to jot down our orders. Heh, like he needed to. He turned to the hesitant and somewhat reluctant Suna nin with just as much enthusiasm. "And you, my dear madam?"
