Kuraiya finally changed his clothes, and came to hinata, "where we going, even though your treating me, I'll let you decide".
"Then how about we go for some ramen, then some sushi", "sound's good, let's eat them till they run out of stock" kuraiya smiled, he rubbed her shoulders, while walking behind her.
Even though he was pampering her, she didn't care, she enjoyed it, "can you.. go a little lower".
When the two were leaving the residence, marcarita appeared out of nowhere, "dear, is it okay if I tag along".
Hinata turned her head rapidly, [yet another one who wants to take away my time with him.]
Hinata spoke for kuraiya first, "fine", she grumbled under her breath, [even if you do come, I'm taking his hands and his attention.]
"Oh my, thank you, then don't mind me" she walked over, and started trodding behind kuraiya silently.
Hinata looked back slightly and said to marcarita, "um, can you change your skin, like ours, you'll bring a lot of eyes to our side if you stay like that".
"I can, but is it really that necessary", "it is", "okay, then I'll change my appearance, more fitting for a mortal".
Hinata's and kuraiya's eyes twitched at that word, kuraiya shook his head, [mortal, why do you sound so resentful, like zamasu.]
He saw her appearance quickly change, from blue to the same color as kuraiya's skin.
[She literally just used me as a template.] Kuraiya coughed and continued where hinata left off, "your halo is still there".
"Mm, this will not go, I've already accepted your first suggestion" her eyes turned cold, while she was gazing at kuraiya.
"Alright alright, I was just joking, calm down", marcarita smiled, then walked past the two, "aren't we going for some food, i am quite interested, so please lead the way".
[So impatient, but I like it.] Kuraiya thought inwardly, his gaze went a little lower, hinata slapped his shoulder, "eyes forward, stop staring at her arse".
[How'd she know that, but I only looked, was I staring.] "You aren't exactly being discreet about it".
"My bad, I..", "I know", kuraiya and Hinata just stared into each other's eyes, while walking, kuraiya soon smiled wryly.
It wasn't long until the three, arrived at a location hinata chose, "ichiraku, this guy's noodles are good, shame it's small portions".
"Ow, what was that for", Hinata bit his arm before letting go, "stop complaining, we're here to eat, not complain about portions".
"Oh my, is this a fast food", marcarita already appeared in front of the stall silently and quickly.
She ignored the two behind her and sat down, "excuse me, may I have the special, that you've posted here" she pointed to a poster on the side.
Kuraiya also took a seat, hinata followed soon after, "yo! been a while old man, get me 10 bowls of that special chicken ramen".
"10? wait, he said chicken, you're that brat, from back then, who pestered me to try that mix, for some reason it even got praises from others".
Kuraiya looked away in embarrassment, at that time he came here, from beating some fool's, who had been bullying the girl next to him.
At that time, he was bored of eating beef or pork and he repremanded the man in front of him, to try more than two mixes.
Naturally the two argued for a long time, the old guy even thought it was a good idea, and follow with along it.
Teuchi at the moment, came out of his past memories, "heh, I have better flavors, from back then, why don't you try my new mix, it's crab and shrimp, I'm sure you'll like it".
"I asked for 10 bowls, why not add all your new creations, I'm up for the tasting, if it tastes disgusting, don't blame me for being harsh".
"Hmph, I'll be sure to leave you satisfied".
"geez, stop arguing and get preparing", the curtains in the back opened up and out came a woman, who eyes were staring at kuraiya with some heat in her eyes.
[I remember this guy, he used to challenge the both of us everytime he came here, huh? Oh my goodness, he's grown into such a man, he still has those sad eyes, like the world, owes him money though.]
"Ah, wait I haven't ordered yet, I want the same, 10 bowls of difference flavors please".
"Oh, then I'll have the same as them, I'll have 10 bowls".
Teuchi felt his heart collapse, [these monsters, are they trying to give me a stroke.]
Ayame rolled up her sleeves, "dad, are you scared of this challenge, you said, if this guy comes again, you'd treat beat him at his own game".
He gritted his teeth, looked at his daughter, rolled up his sleeves as well, with a look of determination in his eyes.
"Alright, your food will be a long you'll have to wait, but I'll get it done".
.
5 hours later.
.
Teuchi was making the last bowls, while wiping sweat from his brows, "they're surprisingly still eating, ah, that reminds me, I should hold a tournament to spread, my famed ramen further".
"But is it just me, or do those two women seem a little too close to that brat", teuchi murmured to himself, constantly looking at the group with intrigue.
"He also has a different aura about him, it's quite suffocating", "hey dad, your losing focus", "oh, my bad".
"Here's your last bowls" Ayame came over and placed the bowls in front of the three.
Ayame stared at Hinata for a moment, [is that an hyuga, since when did they start to hang out with civilians, much less this annoying critique.]
Kuraiya felt like he was insulted with her scrutiny and he glared at Ayame, [tch, I should find some time to bully this woman, who acts all high and mighty, these saiyan genes refuse to be looked down on, it's making my blood boil.]
Hinata pinched his thigh, "just enjoy your food, stop gloating", she leaned forward and whispered, in his ear, before turning back to the bowl of ramen.
Ayame widened her eyes, [ah, that voice, so it was him, he's so shameless and perverted and he said just now, he'd find a chance to bully me, hmph then I'll just stay here, that way you'll lose that opportunity.]
Kuraiya became grumpy, but still ate with gusto, as he was eating he felt something touch his third leg.
He looked down and turned to the person next to him, [what's she doing, didn't you just tell me, not to gloat.]
Kuraiya spilled the broth on the counter, and he started coughing, "ah, are you okay" Hinata spoke in a low voice but teasing tone, while doing something to kuraiya under the table, he gritted his teeth in the process, "I'm fine, it just went down the wrong way".
[What are you doing, are trying to force me to attack you, at least wait a few weeks for a full recovery, you only just gave birth a few weeks ago.] Kuraiya's face was ferocious, showing bright red, he was trying his hardest to hide his own embarrassment.
[Heh, it seems to have worked, he isn't gloating anymore, nor is he thinking about attacking this ordinary girl.] Her face was showing a victorious smile, she began to tap his back, then she whispered into his ear, "if I catch you trying anything to this girl, I don't care if I need to recover, I'll make sure you're unable to move, if you try anything".
This time she was genuinely upset, she stared at marcarita to the side and marcarita smiled towards herself almost instantly.
To hinata's surprise, marcarita moved closer to kuraiya, "dear, please feed me, ahhh".
Hinata's entire body trembled, "honey, I want feeding too, ahhh".
Kuraiya seeing them opening their mouths, reached out and patted their heads, "I would, but the grease would get on your clothes".
[Few, that should've diverted their attention, when we go for sushi later, I'll feed you both, but here is unsuitable.]
Marcarita pouted before turning back to the food, "I should drain him till he can't move again, how dare he not feed me", marcarita grunted in annoyance.
Hinata didn't say anything, she just put her hand on her waist, [feed me inside the sushi restaurant, hmph fine, I won't make thing's difficult for you then.]
.
When they finished their meal, kuraiya stared at teuchi, before he spoke "not bad old man, your talent for ramen, is unparalleled, shame you can't make a good chicken broth still".
Teuchi almost passed out from the sheer amount of critique, coming out of kuraiya's mouth.
"So you're saying the others were good, then I accept your critique, I hope you come again", teuchi smiled, with a white face, [don't come back, my old age can't handle you anymore.]
Kuraiya nodded gazed at Hinata and sighed [I'll pay.] He threw a pack of ryo to Ayame, "i paid extra, think of the rest as my thanks for making the atmosphere lively".
He stared at teuchi meaningfully, "or use it for the upcoming tournament, you're preparing for, after all I'm planning on going, you have my full support for it".
Teuchi smiled upon hearing this, "alright, then I'll gratefully accept your donation".
Kuraiya waved his hand, "don't mention it, I'll see you when the tournament starts, see ya", kuraiya stood up as did the other two, they waved their goodbyes.
However Ayame ran inside, teuchi saw this and he felt strange, "why did she run off, did something happen while I was distracted".
[Why the hell was staring at me when he said that, it was like a predator staring at it's prey.] She shook her head, while murmuring, "damn pervert, I won't let you get your way".
She heard rustling behind her, she turned her head around and saw teuchi peeking inside, "Ayame, we have other customers".
"ah, right let... What... Um, dad we're out of ingredients".
"Huh?"
.
Meanwhile with kuraiya.
.
They had already arrived at the restaurant, and each were feeding each other, despite other people stares, they had gone into their own world, inciting jealousy from the crowd.
When they finished their meal, they once again, emptied the back kitchen.
After some time they came back home, when kuraiya was wandering around he didn't see tsunade, when he used his ki, too sense her location, he felt bewildered.
"Why's she so far away, is she in trouble", his face became serious and he disappeared, only to arrive in a desolate area.
Tsunade had her arm's up in the air, "come out shenron and grant my wish".
Kuraiya's lips twitched, "she snuck off as soon as the dragon balls came back, how sneaky".
Tsunade turned around and saw kuraiya, "tch, of course you'd appear".
