Hikari watched the water when Kuro disappeared beneath the surface, not reappearing for quite some time. She worried for a moment and she finally decided to try to find him. Maybe he was waiting for her to find him? She didn't think there was any real chance that something had actually happened to him. Just as she moved to search for him the water began to move, spiking up and falling down, then spiking up higher before the final spike exploded into a million tiny droplets, each appearing as a different color because of the way the light played against them. She couldn't help but smile as she watched the display, grinning as she stared up at the colorful display.<br/><br/>She watched quietly, but happily for a moment before she lifted her hand and moments later the water turned to snowflakes. The light refracted through the ice crystals, creating a sort of rainbow on the surface of the water as the snowflakes slowly fell. The snowflakes swirled around them, almost as though they were dancing. It was quite a sight. She hoped he didn't mind. She didn't really know if he liked snow or ice or winter, but she loved them. She found the snow beautiful and peaceful. But then, she guessed that wasn't surprising, all things considered.<br/><br/>She looked his way and smiled lightly when he swam her way, apologizing for tricking her. "It's alright. That was pretty cool." She smiled sweetly. When he blushed she tilted her head slightly, the thought never occurring to her that it was because of what she was wearing. She herself was trying to be careful not to return to her rambling, stuttering state because of the way he looked. He was admittedly rather attractive, particularly the way he looked now. Still, she had thus far managed not to stutter and stumble over her words.<br/><br/>She was surprised when he asked if she wanted to get some dinner or something after this. For a brief moment her thoughts raced, only momentarily entertaining the thought that it could be a date, before dismissing the thought and deciding that it was probably just as friends. After all, he was... well, him. There was no way it was a date. Even so, her cheeks flushed pink at the thought. The thoughts crossed her mind in a split second before she answered, "Yeah. Of course. I'd like that." She responded with a sweet smile, a hint of pink lingering on her cheeks. If she were being honest, her answer would have probably been the same regardless. She paused for a second before adding. "Ummm... If you want... You could come over and I could make dinner?" she offered, a tentative smile on her face, the pink on her cheeks darkening as she spoke. "Real food this time. Promise." She smiled, trying to push down the nervousness she felt and the fluttering of her heart with a joke about the food she'd made for him on their mission.<br/><br/>She hoped he would accept. She loved to cook and she rarely got to cook for others, and she would love to cook for him. And it would give her an excuse to spend more time with him, and allow him to see where she lived, as she had already gotten to see where he lived. Of course, her own dwelling was less impressive, but it was nice enough and it functioned well enough. She thought Kakashi was heading out on a mission soon anyways, so they would probably have the place to themselves. Not that it would matter much either way. She thought Kakashi would find something to do elsewhere if she asked, but she didn't want to have to ask and explain things if she could avoid it.
