(no subject)
After Temari rushed off to see Gaara, I think Baki-sensei felt sorry for me and said that I could come along if I was out of the cast (unfortunatly NOT if I had busted out of it myself) in time. The doctors are sure I'll be ready. I didn't tell them I'll be training muhahahha! Really all I'll be excersizing is my chakra. It's not like I'm a taijutsu user, sheesh!
So I'm all psyched and ready to go and I turn around and I see Nehorin's face through the doorway. She looked like someone died! When she saw me, she turned away.
Ok, Yamanaka. I did it.
I went down to the little store thingie they have in the hospital and got a bunch of flowers. Nothing crazy, just some yellow roses, the didn't have much else except those cheap carnation things that I'm pretty sure would mean "I'm cheap" if I gave her those.
She friggin cried.
I wanted to jump out the window.
"I... I'm sorry! This chick I know said that chicks like flowers and you looked sad so I thought that..." I stammered, totally lost.
She wiped her eyes. "It's ok. I'm just... I'm so..." I sat down. This was gonna take a while. "You're going away?" she asked quietly.
I nodded. "A short mission thing with my sensei. I'll be back in time for the KNAICE."
"Oh... I thought that..."
I had the feeling she had something messed up. "Thought what?"
"That you didn't want to be with me cause of this..."
Oh my god.
"Baka! I'm the one who feels like shit! I was totally useless against that thing. You got hurt because of me!"
"I got hurt because I didn't do what you said. If I had just listened to you..."
"But if I'd been worth anything I would have been able to..."
"Kankuro," she said and held out her hand. That was the first time since we had met at the shis-stand that she called me by my name. Usually it's 'hey you' or 'dude' or 'bitch' (don't ask) "I think you're an amazing ninja. That was a demon we were fighting, not some thug."
I felt better, sort of. "Ok. So... will you be ok?"
"I will be. If you answer my question."
"Eh?"
Her head lowered a little. She looked up at me with those black eyes... "Can I be your girl?"
"Uh... sure. Why not?" I TRIED to sound relaxed. I think she saw through me. Could have been the sweat on my forehead. Maybe.
So yeah. I've got a girlfriend.
*panics*
