Chapter 4 : Ramen vs Miso

Kakashi's P.O.V.

"Suzu-chan! Kashi-kun! Can you please cook lunch today? I need to go on a meeting with the Hokage. It'll probably take a while." Kushina said.

Suzume looked up at the red headed jounin.

"Eh? Uh, okay." she said, giving me a warning side glance which told me 'don't you even dare to try something, or you'll regret it'.

I just smirked and gave her a knowing look, making her stare turn into a glare.

The blonde devil entered the kitchen, and opened the fridge. She pulled out some eggs, frozen narutomakis, and some vegetables. Closing the fridge with her left hand, she put all the ingredients on the table, before she grabbed a chair and stand on it.

"Too short to reach the cupboard, Shōto?" I taunted, amused by the way she wobbled on the chair, reaching for the cupboard.

She grunted, as she jumped, and managed to open it. She grabbed some ramen noodles, before she slammed the door shut, and jumped off the chair.

I snickered, as she now pushed the chair into the front of the stove. I rolled my eyes as she stuck her tongue out at me.

I stood there, watching Suzume as she turned on the stove, climbed off the chair and filled a pot with water.

I walked towards her and pulled the pot out her hands.

"Hey you goblin! Give it back!" She shouted at me, hands on her hips.

I ignored her and placed the pot onto the stove. I turned around to the dish drainers and grabbed three bowls and put it on the counter.

"What are you doing, Jāku?" she asked.

This time I looked at her, raising an eyebrow at her. A smirk appeared on my face as I failed to suppress it.

"What is it, Golden Satan? Kushina-san asked us 'both' to cook, didn't she?"

Suzume stomped her foot on the ground as she turned to the stove, giving me a cold stare.

I smiled at her, closing my eyes, causing me to receive an angry huff in return.

"Whatever. Now hand me the ramen noodles." she grumbled.

I narrowed my eyes. "Seriously. Of all food, you chose ramen?"

She crossed her arms. "What's wrong? Allergic to noodles?"

I glared at her. "As if. Can't we cook miso soup instead?"

"Kushina-nee likes ramen, idiot." she snapped, as she took the noodles, "She will kill us if we cook other things."

I scoffed. "Kill us? You want me to believe that?

She shuddered, "You don't know what she can do. But if you really want miso, then do it alone. I won't help."

I laughed. "We won't die. You're a devil's reincarnation, so you're immortal."

I swear I heard her mutter "A Medusa can still change me into stone."

However, I just let out a chuckle, as I approached the cupboard.

I had just grabbed the miso from the cupboard and started to making it next to Suzume. She was standing next to me, stirring the pot of ramen and humming a tune I couldn't recognize.

Y'know, standing this close to her, she didn't seem that bad. I mean, her blonde hair looks really soft and-... wait, what am I thinking?!

I stepped backwards accidentally hitting Suzume and sending us both to the ground. When did she walk behind me? As we landed, I felt something connect with my elbow then heard a loud 'ouch!' Oh, I'm dead.

"Ow! Ow ow ow ow... what are you doing, Jaku!" she shouted at me, rubbing her nose. I stared at her wide eyed, then quickly recovered and narrowed mine.

"Me?! You're the one who stood behind me, wasn't it? How was I supposed to know?!" I accused. Good, it looks like she didn't see my blush.

Suzume glared at me and growled, her hands suddenly grabbing my hair.

"You're a ninja, baka! A NINJA! How did you not know that I was behind you? I WAS RIGHT NEXT TO YOU!" She screamed. "And you have eyes and ears, right? Tch. Maybe the famous Kakashi isn't as amazing as everyone believes him to be, huh?" She mocked, smirking.

It was my turn to glare. My head was starting to hurt from all her pulling, so I grabbed her hands and pinned it above her head, catching her by surprise.

I scoffed. "And you're the golden satan who's always starting trouble," I said. I was about to say something else when I noticed the position we were in, at the same time Suzume did. Both of us looked at each other wide eyed and I narrowly escaped her kick as she screamed out, "PERVERT GOBLIN!"

I watched as her leg connected to the stove, causing the two pots on it to start wobbling.

Before I can do something, Suzume had pushed me harshly in anger, causing my back to hit the counter.

And at the same time, one of the pot, the one with the ramen in it, fell from the stove. And it landed right on my head, covering my whole body with the warm ramen soup.

My eyes twitched in annoyance, watching as the beauty- scratch that, I mean beast,- crossed her arms, smirking at me in victory.

I growled, and grabbed the other pot, throwing the miso in it at her, covering her golden strands with the white noodles. Her white dress was wet with the warm substance, revealing her undergarments.

I bet she realize this, because she approached me, slapping my cheek.

"Kutabare, Kakashi!" She growled between her gritted teeth, and turned her back at me, walking out of the kitchen.

"I'm gonna take a shower. You should wash yourself up, too. We can think about lunch later."

I raised an eyebrow. Is she really that mad? Whatever. I don't care.

Do I?

•×•×•×•×•×•

It's been a while since Suzume and I had cleaned ourselves and the mess we made up. The miso soup and ramen are almost done too, and not once has Suzume even looked at me. Not once. Was she really that mad?

I watched as she read a book at the dining table. It didn't really look like she was reading it. Her eyes kept switching from the book to the table, her eyebrows were furrowed, and she kept shaking her right leg. I really must have upset her this time.

I sighed, running a hand through my silver hair.

"Oi, Suzume." I watched as her blue eyes took a quick glance at me then returned to her book. She grunted.

"What do you want, Jaku? Can't you see I'm busy reading?" she asked. Her voice sounded devoid of emotion. I frowned, now knowing how much I must have upset her. Ah, I'm acting so out of character...

"Look, all I wanted to say is that-... that, I'm sorry," I began. I looked away when I noticed Suzume's head shot up from her book and her mouth drop. "I realized that I took things too far back then and like I said, I'm sorry." I turned my head back to her and noticed a small smile had graced her features.

"Wow, who knows?" She randomly asked. I raised an eyebrow, causing her to laugh.

"It's just, you know, I never thought that I would live to see the day the Silver Goblin would apologize! To me, even!" She said.

I rolled my eyes. "Yeah, well, it's a one time thing. Don't get used to it, banshee."

Suzume just laughed harder, making me crack a smile too. At least everything's sorted out now. Kinda.

Once Suzume stopped laughing, she got up from the dining table. Her book was long forgotten. She walked towards me.

"Do you think our lunch is done?" She asked me. I nodded. A grin was quickly plastered onto her face again. "Then what are we waiting for, goblin?"

I watched as she headed towards the kitchen again, a bounce in her step. I sweat dropped. Where does she get all her energy from?

She grinned as she turned off the stove, grabbing a large spoon. She took a large portion of the ramen, putting it in her bowl, before she sat in front of the table, licking her lips, before she starts eating.

I smiled in amusement at how much (and fast) she ate. So she's not afraid to get fat, huh? Or, she wants to get taller?

I was about to taunt her on that, when she turned at me, her innocent blue eyes locked at my dark ones.

"Eat up, Hatake. I honestly don't care about what you hide behind that stupid mask."

I chuckled slightly, deciding not to do my previous plan. Don't ruin the mood, Kakashi.

Taking my miso, I am surprised that she didn't even took a glance at me. Not even once.

"Oi, Suzume."

"Hm?" She hummed, her mouth full with ramen.

"... Look at me when I'm talking to you."

"Why would I?" She asked back, "I'm helping you to keep your face as a secret."

That's it. I bursted out laughing, pulling up my mask.

Slowly, she lifted her head.

"What's so funny?"

"I-... I don't know!" I managed to answer her between my laugh. I mean, she's not even interested in my face. Not at all! Fangirls are stalking me just to catch a glimpse at it!

"We're actually similar in many ways," I told her, still chuckling, "I have fangirls, you have fanboys. I got my mask, you got..." I trailed off, analyzing her. She waited for me to continue.

"... your scarf..."

She turned away all of a sudden.

"Yeah. And we will keep them as secrets." She muttered.

My curiosity rise. What's behind that red scarf?

I have something to tell you. This is not my story alone. I wrote this with Angel Slayer from Quotev. The plot, from prologue to chapter 3, is mine. But on chapter 4 here, we wrote this together.

Thanks for reading.
