"Beautiful…" Naruto breathed unaware that he had spoken out loud.
Yugito felt heat rise to her face at the awed tone in Naruto's voice, she put her head down so he would not see how red her cheeks were getting. "Do you really think so?" she asked in a low voice.
Naruto blinked as he realized that he must have spoken his thoughts; he reached out with his left hand and put his thumb and forefinger under her chin. Raising it up so she could see his smile, "I have rarely met anyone who could match how beautiful you look right now…"
Yugito felt herself actually becoming somewhat faint from the compliment; no one had ever said something like that to her and actually meant it, the few who had she was easily able to smell the lust coming off them. She willed herself not to pass out and took several deep breaths as she steadied her heart rate, which had been beating far faster then she had ever felt it even after her toughest training routine. Once she steadied herself Yugito offered him a dazzling smile, which literally seemed to light up her face, "thank you."
Naruto grinned as he stuck out his arm, "shall we?"
Smiling just a little wider Yugito wrapped her own arms around his after she closed and locked the door to her apartment. The two walked along the streets making small conversation as Yugito told Naruto the directions to her favorite sushi bar, which was where he had decided to take her to. As they walked Naruto noticed the odd looks Yugito was getting from some of the populace, no doubt they were surprised to see her not only with a man but in a dress of all things. It was easy for Naruto to see that the young woman was not one for dressing up; in fact it amused him that he could still see the shopping tag on her dress; meaning either she never wore it and so forgot to take it off, or she had just bought it recently and didn't even see it. He figured it was the latter.
Naruto also noticed that he seemed to be getting many glares from the males of the village; it was rather easy to see they were jealous. In the one day he had known her it was plain to Naruto that Yugito was not really the kind of person who would go out on dates and what not, in fact given how nervous she seemed chances were good that this was her first date ever. Given how attractive the blond woman was he knew that at least some of the men here had probably asked her out, most likely to be turned down the moment the request for a date left their mouths. Then along comes this new guy, a foreigner no less and in less than a day gets a date with one of the most desirable women in Kumo. It was rather easy to see why they were jealous of him.
Not that he cared.
They arrived at the sushi bar and made their way inside, seating themselves at two seats at the bar. The way Yugito moved to the seat gave Naruto a hunch that it was reserved for her, much like his own seat at the Ichiraku Ramen. The thought of the Ramen stand and the two people who were like family to him brought a smile to his face.
"Oi, Kenshi-san can I have the usual please?"
Naruto watched as an old man came out of the back, wiping his hands off with a rag. The man had the same air about him that old man Teuchi had, Naruto figured it must be a chef thing.
"Wow Yugito-chan, look at you all dressed up," Kenshi said with a smile as he looked between her and Naruto. "I take it your actually on a date ne? About time if you ask me."
"K-Kenshi!" Yugito said with a small whine as her face began to heat up.
Kenshi just laughed, "so one of the usual eh? And what can I get for your date?" he asked turning to Naruto.
Naruto smiled, "I'll have the same thing she's having."
Kenshi actually looked surprised before shrugging, "you must have quite the appetite if you're gonna eat that, they'll be right up." with that said Kenshi went into the back room to get supplies to make the food.
While the food was being prepared Naruto and Yugito engaged in some conversation, telling each other about their experience as ninja. For the most part they left out anything that could be considered delicate information such as some of the classified missions they had gone on, Yugito normally just told her fellow blond shinobi about the different places she visited and her time as a genin under Killer Bee's tutelage; making sure to leave out her Jinchurikki status as Naruto was a foreigner. As for Naruto himself he regaled her in tails of his accomplishments when his team had just started, telling her about his first C turned A rank mission where they had taken on Zabuza Momoichi and his mission to protect Koyuki Kazahana. Yugito had to admit she was impressed that a mere team of genin had accomplished missions of that caliber, though he did have Kakashi Hatake as his sensei so it was not too much to think such feats were possible.
A few minutes after the conversation began to die down the food arrived, Naruto was shocked to see that it was 10 servings of each dish of sushi they served here. Naruto had never seen so much sushi in his entire life, "wow when you said I better have an appetite you really meant it…"
Kenshi laughed as he went into the back of the store again.
Yugito looked at Naruto with a smirk as he stared at the incredible amounts of sushi, "if you can't eat it all I'd be more than happy to take it off your hands."
Naruto looked over at Yugito and saw the challenging look in her eyes; he gave her his patented foxy grin. "Not a chance! This will all be gone long before you can even think of sinking your paws into it!" Naruto stated in a confident tone.
Yugito gave him a challenging grin, "Ooh wanna make a bet?"
