[b][u]4/7 Late Afternoon - Silver Dragon Restaurant[/u][/b]

Kaori took my order, then gave the cutest blush ever in response to my comment about her archery skills. She was very modest about it, which just made her look even better. After confirming she was who I thought, she asked for my name in return. [color=f26522]"Ah, sure thing. It's Akatsuki Toroname. Yeah, my dad and I head the family dojo. It's, uh... just the two of us, though."[/color] Mom and Mikata were still fresh on my mind after visiting the cemetery. I did what I could to move on with the conversation, though.

Unfortunately, Kaori didn't know much more than Itachi did about Ame. The main thing she added was that Ame was looking to start her own restaurant in the city. Sounded really weird for her. Always thought she loved working here. Apparently, the lip gloss was her idea, too. After a bit more talking, Kaori cut herself off and apologized. So... damn... cute. It's alright, just play it cool, man. [color=f26522]"Ah, no big deal. Nice talking with ya. Looking forward to next time, 'kay?"[/color] After that, she mentioned a... fan club? Why had I not been informed sooner? I would've been all over tha- Oh... Crap.

Of all people to see walking through that door... Koi Maki-Maki. The girl had made her mark as quite possibly the [i]creepiest[/i] girl in school last year. It's okay... It's all good... Just don't make eye contact, and you'll be fine. I glanced over at the table Itachi put them at to see Kaori taking hers and her mom's orders. Oh, boy... Here's hoping all goes well for her.
