Re: Ichiraku Ramen

[Ijin]

“Thank you for your advice, but i'll just stay in an inn. Actually traveling doesn't cost much if you know to do it right.” He sighes softly while finishing up his ramen.

[Chieko]

Her shoulders drop a little and her body slouches down in her seat feeling she's given useless advice.
"O-Oh... I see. It must be nice traveling on your own with no one to tell you what to do..."
Her thoughts trace back to her family for a moment.

[Ijin]

((I see where this is going.))

“Not really my favorite times is when I come to a town and meet nice peopke like you, or meet other friendly travelers. I love company really.” Koku said in a very happy voice.

[Chieko]

Her cheeks glow a light pink as he says that and gives off a smile. "Maybe someday I can go traveling like you!" Her smile widened. She finally finishes off the ramen, being a slow eater after all.

[Ijin]

“maybe someday I would have no problem with it.” He said as he looked outside it was getting dark. “where do you live i'll walk you home.” He said softly.

[Chieko]

She averts her gaze and jumps out of her seat.
"Oh... my home is... Oh don't worry about it!" She says with a smile. "I don't live too far from here..."
Her voice trails off a little.

[Ijin]

“if you insist I guess i'll be going now. I hope we meet again tomarrow.” Koku starts to get up and stretches a little.

[Chieko]

She nods softly and goes a little sad. "Maybe we can meet at the Academy? I start tomorrow." She looks up at him hopefully.

[Ijin]

“i could check it out its a promise.” Koku smile and heads out the shop.

((i'm done for tonite later.))

[Chieko]

She smiles back waving as he leaves and runs to home for the night.
((Sweet dreams))

[dragoon nara]

i walk in and order a bowl of ramen i pay for it and start eating it

[Ijin]

Koku walks on and waits for Chieko he takes a seat dusting himself off and wiping the sweat off his face.

[Chieko]

She runs down the road from her house, enjoying the slight breeze the wind had on her scarf.
'Hehe! Sensei owes me ramen today!' She happily giggles to herself. She comes across the ramen shop to a sliding stop and looks around.
"Koku-Sensei! Where are you?!" She called in a childish way.

[Ijin]

"I'm right here Chieko as promised I'll treat you for your hard work." Koku said smiling and gesturing to the seat next to him. "Sit down and order anything you want."

[Chieko]

She smiles back and nods, plopping into a seat next to him. She looks around at the menu on the wall and puckers her lips as she stares at her usual Miso ramen.
"Sensei... Can you choose for me this time?"

[Ijin]

Koku recalls what she had the first time she came here and said. "Two large miso ramens please." The cook hand them to him after a few minutes. He handed one to Chieko and paid and thanked the cook.

[Chieko]

She feels a large cold sweat drop from her cheek and feels as though a bell smacked her in the head.
'M-Miso...' She thought to herself. She swallows softly holding back a whine but nevertheless she settles for the miso and breaks her chopsticks into two.

[Ijin]

((OoC if the miso was bad enough dis will kill ya.))

"Hey Chieko there something I would like to do now that your my student." Koku said in a diffrent than usaul voice. "I would like to meet your family. Have you told them about me yet?" He said looking at Chieko as he breaks his chop sticks in two.

[Chieko]

Her eyes almost pop open only hearing the words, "Meet" and "Family". She swallows the ramens noodles she had in her mouth not really chewed at all, leaving on end of the noodle down her throat and the other end still sticking out of her lips. She begins to turn blue as she starts to punch her leg trying to force the noodle down. 'M-My family?!' She screams in her head.

[Ijin]

"Are you ok."koku said as he saw Chieko."I didn't catch a cold from the water yesterday did you." He said with concern. Koku not being able to put two and two together

[Chieko]

She grabs the cup of water and chugs it down her throat. She then puts it down softly, her face still red from noodle choking her a bit, and starts to stare blankly into the empty glass.
'Oh no... W-What do I tell him? I can't tell him Mother has no clue I've been training with a stranger. A-At this rate... I'll be killed for sure!'
She shakes feeling a dark loom of her mothers figure with red eyes over her body. She feels her body freeze as she hesitantly turns around, in almost a comical way.

[Ijin]

"So she dosen't know." He said softly losing his smile. Though I want to ask I won't. I know you have a good reason, but if you plan to leave the village for one of my travels she'll find out." You may change the subject now if you want." he said eating some of his ramen.

[Chieko]

She swallows another gulp of air hearing the slight disappointed tone her sensei had in her. She grips her scarf softly, folding and playing with it in her hands.
"I-I'll tell her tonight... I promise, Koku-sensei...."

[Ijin]

"It's alright if your not ready to tell." Koku said putting a smile on and patting her head. "You've made me proud so much already and I know you'll do whats right." He said now his voice sounding regular again.

[Chieko]

Her cheeks grow a little pink from the word "Proud" and gives up a smile. She opens her lips to say something but can't find anything to fit as a response. So instead she nods with a smile and goes back to eating her ramen.
