Suzuna walked into the shop, her face and her legs scratched with ashes.While she walked, the shoe imprints she left behind were of ashes as well,seeing how she was practising the fire jutsu in the dojo, and had accidentally stepped on some ashes.As she was passing by, a mirror was at her right, hammered into the wall.Suzuna kept walking, her right eye slightly looking at her reflection and noticing the ashes on her face.Suzuna then quickly stopped, running back infront of the mirror and looking at her reflection.
"...ah...i got some ashes on my face...."
She said putting her hands into her obi sash to get some tissue's.She pulled out about three from the sash and slightly pressed on the ashes, rubbing them slightly so that they would'nt spread all over her face.After rubbing off all the ashes from her face, suzuna kept walking forward towards the counter, tossing the crumpled tissue onto the garbage box, without looking.Though after about seconds, she looked back to see if she had gotten the tissue in or not.She sighed, looking at the crumpled tissue that was far from the garbage bin.Suzuna walked back towards the garbage box,picking up the tissue and throwing it into the garbage box, this time keeping her eyes on the tissue.She then continued to walk towards the counter, her eyes on the menu, thinking of what to order.Her face suddenly lite up, as she remembered the quantity of dango's she used to have when she was little.Suzuna sat on one of the stools infront of the counter,keeping her hands on the counter as she ordered.
"...i'll have two big cups of mitarashi syrup,twenty two botchan dango and twenty Anko dango."
Suzuna ordered, the waiter's face in an awkward state, seeing the number of dango's she ordered and also noticing that she had the number '2' on every type of dango.The waiter nodded, with a blank face and headed towards the back to make the food.Suzuna giggled,noticing the waiter's expression and started to twirl around on the stool,her legs up on the air, to not interfere from th ground.Her hands placed on the stool's front edge and her legs slightly apart.She twirled around and around on the stool,giggling as she could almost re-enact the moments when she was small.She would always spin around on the stool, and would often get scolded by her parents, but suzuna always had her ultimate weapon, The puppy dog eyes,which would often convince her parents into letting her spin for a longer time.Suzuna often got out of troubled situation,with her puppy dog eyes.The speed of her spinning slowly decreased as a sad face came across her face.Her parents were no longer there to scold her, to do the spinning.Suzuna stopped spinning, starring into the stool's rips as she remembered the times with her parents, an unpleasant aura slowly occuring.
"...uh...miss....your order is ready...." The waiter said with a smile, placing the huge order infront of her, two big bowls mitarashi syrup, twenty two botchan dango and twenty two Anko dango's were infront of her.The unpleasant-ness of the room vanished, as suzuna smiled and grabbed a stick of the An dango, dipping it into the mitarashi syrup and taking a bite of it.She chewed on the dango for a while and burst out saying.
"..UMAI!"
She said dipping the other part of the dango into the syrup and muching on it as well. I guess the saying, hana yori dango makes sense... Suzuna thought, smiling and finishing the first stick of the dango.
((There's a typo on the first post, it's anko not An. sweatdrop ))

Ritsuki skated up to the shop and then popped his wheels in his pouch. He sat on the stool next to the girl and ordered a Kushi dango. The man brought him a skewer with 5 dango on it. Ritsuki paid and stuck the first in his mouth beginning to chew and ordered a tea.

Suzuna kept eating,finishing all her dango and the syrup as well.She then grabbed all the fourty four sticks and turned to her side, the door was open and a big tree stood outside, it seemed sorta old though.Suzuna threw all the sticks at the tree, trying to make the symbol of konoha.When suzuna was small, she often did that, trying to copy anko, whom she looked really up on.All the sticks were in order and it made the konoha's symbol.
"...bull's eye..."
Suzuna said smiling and started to twirl around on the stool again.

Ritsuki bit off his third dango and drank some more tea."You know glaring at people with Sharingan isn't a way to make friends. And if you're thinking I'm no a member of Konoha, then look."Ritsuki showed his black fabric hitai-ate on his left arm.

Suzuna giggled, getting close to him so that her eyes could be seen by him.
"...Sharingan? You see a tomoe here?"
Suzuna asked, sarcastically.Red, was suzuna's natural color and it was okay for people to think it was sharingan, since this had happened many times.

Ritsuki turned and looked into her eyes."Hmm. I guess not. You have the diposition of an Uchiha and your eyes look like tomoe less sharingan." He then finished his dango and tea, tossing the skewer towards her Konoha symbol, as it landed inside one of the spirals. After a few seconds it exploded, leaving nothing but a burn mark in the tree.

Suzuna sighed and looked at him,confused a little.
"..what was that for?"
She said looking back at the burn mark.
"..though i've got to hand it to you kid, you've got skillz"
Suzuna said ordering once more dango and dipped it in the mitarashi syrup, finishing it quickly.She then tossed the stick behind her, the stick reaching into the garbage bin, and not missing.

Suzuna suddenly had an ashamed and an blank face.A sweat drop had slowly made it's way down suzuna's face as well.
"...i am fourteen....still a genin......-"
She said, though suddenly her tone had changed a bit, and had sounded more confident.
"...but...but....I had my own reasons too...."
Suzuna said nodding, she indeed had a reason, and a good one too.Suzuna had thought that he was young around ten or something, despite his height.

Suzuna's face lite up as she noticed the boy saying he was older than her.
"..Yoshii! that's great! 'cause i thought i was the only one who was old and a genin at the same time...though you must have had some trouble..too eh?"
Suzuna asked giggling and muched on another dango,throwing it towards the tree.

All of a sudden the Uchiha girl felt a little tug on the back of her shirt. When she looked behind her she saw it was that boy with the konoha ninja headband over his eyes. He was wearing a black short sleaved shirt with the spiral symbol naruto has on the front of his shirt and the back of it. He was wearing green shorts with his shuriken poutch where his kunai holster was soppose to be, and his kunai holster were his shuriken poutch should be. He was wearing normal blue ninja shoes and had bandages wrapped tightly around his entire arms and his right leg. His brown hair looked the same bangs going down the front of his face while unlike sasuke that had his hair spiking upward behind his head sachi's hair spiked downward. He also had a red bandaid across his left cheeck. "Oi..........girl.......can you buy me some food. I don't have any money right now and I'm kind of hiding from my father." The boy had the same emotionless face as if his face didn't change at all ever since she saw him last time. He also spoke in a calm manner, it was a bit strange though seeing how even though the boy couldn't see he found her and not only found her but knew it was her.
