For some reason when Hikari saw him, she seemed to get nervous. Or at least that's what both Kuronotsurugi and Ryuu thought as they watched her stumbling with her words. It was rather strange seeing her like this, since back on the mission, even when they were in an uncomfortable situation she didn't get like this. So why now? He was oblivious to the fact that it had to do with him not having a shirt on, completely and utterly oblivious. Ryuunosuke then decides to dismiss himself from this awkward moment, and leaves Hikari's side, disappearing back in to the house, though doesn't go far. In fact he goes to a window that was nearby, to watch what was going on, curiosity overpowering the feeling of awkwardness that he felt. He simply had to see what happened. She seemed nice...so why would someone like her want to even talk to Kuronotsurugi? It didn't make any sense at all.<br/><br/>"Uh..." Kuronotsurugi mutters, taking a half step forward when Hikari asked if it was a bad time, but before he could say anything she spoke again, saying not to answer that. He then stops, standing there with a hand on his hip, watching her mutter to herself, before she actually came out and asked the question. His eyes go wide for a split second when they meet glances, before he quickly looks away from her, a hand raising to scratch his cheek with his forefinger. So...she came to keep her promise, even though she knew that he might not have an answer...? Such a strange and unique girl, that definitely was Hikari.<br/><br/>He wasn't sure what to say at that moment, because truthfully he hadn't had enough time to come up with his answer. For him, he knew that it might take a couple days or so...but right now he didn't want to let her down. He'd seen the worry and nervousness, but also the determination. So he should be strong too, just like her...right? "I..." He looks to her, meeting his eyes with her own, taking a deep breath, calming his pounding heart...or at least trying to slow it down a little bit, so it didn't sound like drums resounding in his ears. He needed to be calm, to be strong. But looking at her standing there...it made his walls crumble, it made him feel unsteady, but maybe not in a bad way...<br/><br/>It seemed liked time was moving slowly, trudging on forever, as his mind slowly and numbly tried to come up with the words to say to her. No doubt she was on edge, waiting for the answer that felt like it would never come. But eventually, he speaks. "I...maybe...well...if...you want to keep seeing me...and I want to...maybe...uh, keep seeing you well...that would be okay...Yes. It will be okay." His cheeks were red, and he mentally slaps himself for sounding so stupid. He, Kuronotsurugi Uchiha, had muttered and mumbled, sounding like a complete and total fool. An idiot! That's what he was! Fighting the urge to cover his face with his hands, he nervously looks to her, fidgeting where he stood.<br/><br/>He needed a distraction, something to keep his mind from thinking of his stupidity, and for some odd reason it lands on food. "Would...would you like some tea or something?" He asks, or rather blurts. Inside, Ryuu was surprised at what just happened. Had his brother really...just opened up to someone? Did he actually have a friend? And it was this girl? Well...that was a development...but he couldn't help but feel really proud of his brother. Maybe he had a chance in actually becoming someone respectable... He moves away from the window, rushing to the kitchen, gathering supplies and such. He wanted to do something to congratulate them on their friendship...<br/><br/>Back in the training yard, Kuronotsurugi steps forward. "Um, let me just put on a shirt first..." He then crosses the distance between them, motioning for her to follow. Leading her to his room, he steps inside, tossing the katana he'd had earlier on to the bed. "Uh, well...this is my room. Make yourself comfortable...I know there really isn't much...but yeah...you can sit at the desk...or on the bed...I don't care..." He said this to Hikari before opening the sliding closet door in the wall, revealing shirts, jackets, cloaks and other such clothing inside. Pulling down a sleeveless blue shirt with a white flame decoration at the bottom, and of course the Uchiha symbol on the back, he slips it on, buttoning it up in the front. Turning to her again, he takes a deep breath, letting it out slowly. "So, uh...I'll be back..."<br/><br/>Crossing the floor to the door, he opens it to find Ryuunosuke standing there, a tray with a kettle on it, and two clay tea cups, along with a plate with biscuits and cookies and such on it. "Here." Ryuu says, holding it out to Kuronotsurugi, who takes it, a little shocked that Ryuu had done this. "Uh...thanks..." Kuro stares at Ryuu, who was smiling a little bit, and glancing inside to see if the girl was there. She was, and he steps back, blushing. "Well, uh, enjoy the tea." He turns to walk away, and Kuronotsurugi stared after him. Oh well. He'd always been a strange kid. Closing the door, he set the tray on the desk, and pours some tea in to both cups, taking a sip, it was really sweet but not in a bad way. In fact it tasted amazing. "So...yeah...what were your plans...for today? No missions today I'm guessing, since we just got back...?" He looks to her, as he leans back against the wall of the room.
