Food in a food place to get food for food

She giggled. "Ah, Gaara-kun, you talk so smart-like now, I don't think I'll be able to keep up with everything you say, meow!" Then she nodded. "But I can tell you how they came to be."

(this is the part that if this was a TV show, the screen would go fuzzy and it would have a flashback X3)

"I'm sorry to say this, Gaara-kun, but although you are my first-ever best-friend, I had a friend before you, meow." Neko twiddled with her thumbs a little bit. "Although, in the end, I don't think she wanted to be my friend anymore. You see, through my ages of around 8 to 9 I had a very close friend. I can never remember her real name because she only told me it once. But when she met me, I think she thought I was playing a joke with my tail, ears, and name. So she called herself Usa-chan, and she made herself a fake set of bunny ears and a little fluffy tail. She wore it everyday wanting to be just like me. We had both made bows and bells to tie on our tails and each one of us had a collar with our names which we wore everyday as a sign of our friendship." Neko nodded, at this moment she was more telling the story back to herself then to Gaara, she kinda forgot about him.

"Sometimes she would ask to come to my house, but as you would guess, I couldn't allow my fake daddy to know about her. He might've beat us both if he knew that I was spending some of my time around people instead of working for him. But, Usa-chan never let me over to her house either, so we were just friends in the academy.
But one day, it was a little after I had graduated at age 8, I was going to walk Usa-chan to the academy. She was one year older then me, but still not graduated yet. She was late so I had gone to her house to see what was up. But when I got there, I saw through the window her parents yelling at her. Telling her to stay away from me, saying that I wasn't a real person, I was just a monster. But Usa-chan didn't believe them. We walked to the academy that day in silence but our friendship stayed.

Until one day.." Neko closed her eyes. "Usa-chan had come to my house after the academy right when my fake daddy was in the middle of hurting me. I turned into a cat, jumped through the door, and turned into my up-right again. And Usa-chan saw it all. Finally, she believed her parents. And in doing so, she hated me. She knew what I really was. Usa-chan turned around and started running out of the garden. I tried to stop her, but before I could, my fake daddy killed her with his own kunai knives.
I wasn't allowed to the funeral. My fake daddy told Usa-chan's parents that a rougue ninja killed her, trying to kill me. He said that he had killed the ninja right after, but wasn't able to save the girl. I took off Usa-chan's collar and bow and tied it to her cross in the grave yard. I left mine there too."

Neko shook her head, slipping back into reality. "That's where I went when I left, Gaara-kun, I went back to Usa-chan's grave to tell her I was sorry. But I only stayed in the Cloud village for a little bit, it's not a very nice place for me."

ooc: whoopsie! sorry about super long post, I got a little carried away and forgot I was rping for a while!

He hadn't realized that he had been staring at her the whole time, eyes widened. Some-what coming back to reality, his eyes traveled to the table, and he stared at that instead, feeling as though if his gaze was upon Neko, anything he might say would sound as if he didn't know what he was saying at all.

Something told him he should say something, anything, but his lack of words was showing, and he remained silent for the time being, thinking it through as quickly as he could. He hadn't expected such a long, depressing explanation.


"I can understand.. why you cherish them so much." He finally said, not taking his eyes from the table. "Tell me.. do you know if your fake father is still alive?"

((ooc: No worries about the long post Though, I didn't quite know what to say XD So basically, I rambled a bit))

She shook her head and tried to smile but it didn't really work out. "I don't know anymore. I once thought that he was dead but then I heard word of him still being alive." She lifted a shrimp out of the ramen and stuffed it in her mouth. "Why don't you understand why I love my possessions, meow?"

Finally, he looked up from the table to stare at her, staring into her eyes as if searching for something that might have been missing. "I said I did understand.. your possessions hold memory of the first friend you ever made.. a good friend, someone who admired you. Your fake father, no, the bastard who called himself your fake father, ruined that for you. He made things miserable.. he killed your first friend, he abused you.."

The sudden feeling of rage coursed through him, and he glared. "I want to know if hes alive.. I'm hoping he is, that way, he can get years of torture that he deserves, a very slow and painful death.."

"Oh.." She looked back at him, understanding that she had misheard him and now was a little worried. "I wouldn't want you to hurt him, though, Gaara-kun. Meow, it would not be very nice.. What if he broke a bone and had to go to the hospital? Maybe he wouldn't be able to walk for the rest of his life. That wouldn't be so good."

Nuada sighed as he was not very satisfied with his meal. After leaving a tip, he walked over to Gaara's table and popped a squat next to him. "Hey.....Gaara, right?" He asked him.

"I could care less if he wasn't able to walk for the rest of his life, he deserves it." He said to her, as calmly as he could, not seeming calm at all. Then, suddenly, after seeing the random person beside him, he shot his head to the side and looked directly at him, not meaning to seem rude, though he was infuriated at the moment so he seemed rude anyway. "Yeah, what?"

She completely ignored Nuada ( X3 sorry!) and poked with her chopstick at something in her ramen that she wasn't quite sure of what it was. "Nobody deserves broken legs, meow." She looked a little up at him but he was blurry because her bangs were in the way. She didn't like seeing him like this. "It's not nice!"

Nuada fell asleep on the chair while they were talking.

(LOL omg)

"Well," He stared at her, eyes in a glare, though he didn't mean to be glaring because of her, merely because he was enraged. "Look at what he did to you.. he deserves every and any kind of torture out there.. and I will ensure it all.."

An evil smirk crossed his face for a moment, disappearing as quickly as it appeared. "I feel no sympathy for him.."

"No you will not." She said, reffuring to his 'I will ensure it' comment. Then she picked the 'thing' up out of her ramen bowl, sniffed it, and then flicked it across the table where it landed (I guess) on Nuada's nose. She was trying to act like this was an every-day conversation, but it was very hard considering the fact that Gaara was angry and she had not seen him angry like this in a very long while. "I believe that he's still alive, somewhere out there.."

She said sadly, but then perked up. "And I think that he's waiting for me, meow. I think that he wants to see me again to say sorry, and then he can come live with us and it'll be just like a real family!"

"If he ever..." He started, shutting his eyes and lifting his hand to his head, a low growl emitting from his throat. "If he ever comes near you again.. it will be the end of his life."

His eyes shot open and he stared at her once again, dropping his hand from his head to the table. "You must know the difference between a liar and someone who actually cares."

She slammed her hands on the table and stood up, knocking her ramen bowl over, which spilled onto the floor.

ooc: if this was Death Note, they'd replay Neko standing up, like, 10 times from different angles! X3

"Gaara-kun!" She was real pissed now and voice was a loud growl which resonated through the whole restaurant now that everyone there was quiet and staring at them. "Gaara-kun.." Then she picked up the ramen bowl that Gaara hadn't touched and dumped it on his head. "Gaar-kun, I HATE YOU!"

Then she stormed/ran out.

((ooc: Fun fun, what a rush XD))

He sat there for a second, one eye slowly widening into a bit of a confused face. "What the hell.."

He pulled a noodle from his face and stared at it for a moment before letting it drop onto the table or floor, he didn't really pay attention. He was utterly confused, thinking about the last statement she said and why it was repeating iself over and over in his head, creating a harsh pounding in his chest. He wondered what he did wrong, and why she was suddenly angry with him, but the only thing he could think of was that she had a sudden mood swing.

Until, of course, a random female shouted 'asshole'. The word was definitely directed to him, considering nobody was looking at her, but at him. Even though it still confused him, he decided sitting there thinking about it wasn't going to help at all. So, he took the bowl off his head and left, going after Neko to discuss what it was that he did to get her to say such a statement that sounded so true, and it seemed like she had a reason to. Which made it worse.


((ooc: Heh... noodles ))

Nuada stood up, trying to bear the pain that was inflicted upon him. The worse pain any male can get. He screamed out: "GAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!" He ran around in circles, a wet spot on his pants in the general crotch area when Neko spilled her Ramen....which spilled onto Nuada's legs and burnt him.

ooc: LOL He also has a piece of some-kind-of-fish-thing on his nose that Neko flicked there accidentally. X3

Nuada then sniffled like a puppy and looked around. He turned to a random person and said: "You smell fish? I smell fish."
