Ayame silently snapped and realised just who she was talking too. She gulped, "s-sorry."
"Liar, you're not sorry," I said in a weak voice, lowering my head in disappointment.
"No, I am, I'm really sorry Yami, please, let me make it up to you," she said in a sad pitying voice.
"Will you do anything?" I asked.
"Sure. You want extra ramen?" "No...I want you to go on a date with me!" I cried out laughing at her shocked face when I revealed my shit eating grin, "oh come on, you think me being an orphan is going to break my little heart? Oh please, get over yourself! Or better yet, get over me," I said wiggling my eyebrow.
Ayame grumbled, "I can't believe I feel for that. Pervert."
I winked, "yup! So what do you say? I know an amazing ice cream bar a few stalls over, it'll be a short date! Someone as hot as you needs something to cool her down," que the cheesy smile and wink.
Ayame rolled her eyes, "not in your life Yami."

"You're really weird Yami," Naruto said with narrowed eyes, "one moment you're like super cool and stuff and the next you're acting like a baka."
I shrugged, "love makes fools of us all. Isn't that right sexy?" I winked at Ayame.
"Will you stop flirting with me for one second?!" Ayame called out as she took another customer's order.

Naruto smiled, "I know what you mean! I met this girl the other day in the park when you were gone! She's so beautiful! She had such pretty hair! Pink like a sakura tree! That's also her name! Sakura!"
I blinked, huh, so begins the crush. Usually people would want Naruto and Hinata to get involved immediately, but me? I don't care. Let him be with whoever he wants to. If he and Sakura get together that's fine me with, I honestly couldn't care less. I smiled, "that's great Naruto! Hey, if you want I can teach you a couple of cool moves to impress her!"
"Really?! That would be awesome Yami!" Naruto cheered, "you're the best friend I ever had! Believe it!"
I chuckled, "I'm the only friend you ever had monkey boy!"
Naruto chuckled rubbing his head, "yeah, that too."
I smiled, "anyway, it's nice to have a friend Naruto, I'm glad I get to spend time with you, it's fun."
"Yeah..." Naruto said squirming in his seat, wanting to say something. I waited, slurping my broth, and finally he spoke up, "hey Yami, remember that time you asked if you could move in with me? Like live in my apartment?"
I blinked, "yeah? Why?" "Well, I was wondering, if you haven't changed your mind, that you would want to come and stay with me," he said measuring every word he said out of fear of rejection.
I grinned, "of course I will Naruto! Damn, is that what you wanted to ask? Do you think I would actually say no?!"
Ping!

+100 EXP Nice. Naruto and I talked about it and agreed to talk to our guardians as well and tell them what we were doing. The Third for Naruto and the matron for me. I went to the orphanage at night and talked to Ksume in private telling her what I wanted to do. She didn't think it was a good idea, but said she couldn't stop me if I wanted to go. She warned me not to trust Naruto and that he's a tricky boy, but I couldn't blame her for that, she still considered the fox in control and not Naruto.
A week later:
Today's the day I finally leave the orphanage. I had a small box of my stuff packed and ready, I couldn't carry it all in my inventory, it would seem odd if I walked in with nothing and then suddenly began to pull stuff out of nowhere.
I wished the matron all the best and gave her a quick hug. There wasn't many people I cared for other than her, so I left after that.
Naruto and I were giddy in excitement that day, we could barely sit in our seats. The Third had agreed to our request and allowed Naruto twice the normal allowance to be shared between the two of us for living expenses. I wouldn't need the cash, but Naruto didn't know that.
After class that day we practically ran to the orphanage to pick up my stuff and then actually did run all the way to Naruto's place.
I placed the box on the kitchen table and looked out at the small studio size apartment. It was honestly a dump, but, I knew for a fact that I could fix it up with just a little bit of elbow grease and sweat.
That night Naruto and I had ramen for dinner, which was nice, but I knew the kid needed to eat proper food. He had gotten a spare futon for me to sleep on and quickly proceeded to fall into a ramen coma, giving me the perfect chance to move around.
I first got rid of the filled up trash bags and empty ramen cups. Then I began to clean the place up with a broom before wiping the floor clean with a mop. I managed to clean every bit but Naruto's bed, I tried not to make much noise, and this resulted in two skills getting better:
