Chapter 253 - 253 (2/2)

He helplessly sighed, and then teleported to a place in the Sand Village, that of Pakura.

It was peacetime, and Pakura was working at the Hokage's office. Shi however was home, and she heard movement downstairs. Carefully, she walked down the stairs, only to sigh helplessly at Ryo's sight.

”Please! How many times have I told you already; this place has a door?!”

Hearing Shi, Ryo was a little embarrassed and scratched his head saying: ”Next time, I'll be sure to knock!”

It was not the first time Shi heard this, and she knew, it certainly wasn't going to be the last.

Soon, it was dinner time. Pakura attached great importance to time with her sister, especially after losing her for many years. No matter how much she would be busy at work, she would return everyday to have meals with her on time.

Today is no exception, but what Pakura did not expect was that she would find Ryo on the dinner table.

Ever since Shi gave her a hint, Pakura had been thinking of Ryo while he was far away. Today, as she finally saw him again, the acc_u_mulation of her thoughts made her feel something she never felt before.

Ryo sat in place, trying to speak. However, Pakura managed to adjust her voice and speak first: ”What brings you here? is there something wrong?”

”Noth… nothing! I just came to… pay you a visit!” Ryo was unusually fl_u_s_tered.

Pakura smiled and did not ask him again. After washing her hands, she sat down next to Shi and ate her dinner.

After the meal, Ryo watched her washing the dishes with Shi, when suddenly, he saw Minato and Kushina standing in their place and then, the two were replaced by him and Pakura!

He was shocked by the thoughts in his mind. Now he knew; he liked her… He really liked her…

Feeling Ryo's burning gaze behind her back, Pakura felt uncomfortable and wanted to complain about it. However, Shi pulled her hand.

All night long, Pakura could feel Ryo's eyes following her wherever she went around the house, and just tried to pretend that she did not notice.

It became late, but Ryo did not seem to have any intention to go. Pakura did not tell him to leave either. A few minutes later, Ryo suddenly stood up, and walked reluctantly to Pakura. He took her hand, and then Teleported with her to the Waterfall Country!

”What did you bring me here for?” Pakura looked at the dazzling surrounding environment, and remembered that this was where she helped Ryo seal the Nanabi.

Ryo was embarrassed, scratching his head. He never was in such a situation before, so he could only directly say what's on his mind: ”Pakura, I think I like you!”

Pakura never expected to hear those words on this night! Her mind went blank, her legs went weak, and the face became red.

Ryo had no experience with love, but he was sure that he really liked her.

Pakura was also very fond of Ryo. In fact, she did want to break the ice between them, but Ryo's words were too sudden. Not only did he break the ice, he broke her mind as well!

After a long time, Pakura finally recovered from her ”crash”. She ”stealthily” turned her eyes to Ryo, just to find him still staring at her.

Their eyes met, and Pakura instinctively wanted to look away, but Ryo stepped forward, and very strongly held her!

In his arms, Pakura's heart gradually calmed down. After a moment of hesitation, she gathered her courage and said: ”Ryo, I like you too!”

Hearing her answer, Ryo was very excited! Under the moonlight, the two finally came together.
