Yes, RTN!Yukiko is still too badass to write in a diary......

Walking back from the therapists office, Yukiko couldn't help but think about what the therapist had said. He couldn't be right, Yukiko knew it. She could not fall in love, she just couldn't. According to her, love did not exist, it was just a fake feeling created by the older generation into tricking the younger ones into starting a family and having kids.

Anyways, Yukiko thought back to the time before the incident in the code room.



Walking down the street, Yukiko felt her stomach growl, but she ignored it. She had to bear starvation for at least one day before she could afford something to eat.

Hoshi had given her the mission to clean the code room even though he gave Aiko another easier mission. Yukiko protested and Hoshi told her that he could excuse her mission if she did something for him..... or rather, with him. But Yukiko would never stoop that low and she refused his offer. She found some lower ranking shinobi to do the work for her instead.

But of course, this person wouldn't do it for free and asked for a payment in return. Yukiko agreed, as it was only fair. After the girl did the mission, Yukiko payed her half the amount she would have gotten for the mission. Considering the fact that Yukiko did absolutely nothing, yet would be getting paid with a mission slip, Yukiko considered the payment worth it. However, the only drawback to this was that the money she paid the girl was all she had. Yukiko immediately went to Hoshi to get her paycheck, but  since there was some misunderstanding, she would get her paycheck the next day.

In short, at this moment, Yukiko was completely broke. And hungry. She thought of going to mooch something off Ubume, but after Ubume paid for Yukiko's brand new 'toy', Yukiko had promised her that she wouldn't bother her for the next two weeks. And there were still a few days remaining for the two weeks to be up, so Ubume was out of the question. She thought of going to Wolffie's place, but then remembered that she was out on a mission for the next few days. Well, looks like she would have to starve the night. But this didn't bother her much, after she walked out of her house, and decided not to slack off Wollfie for a long time, Yukiko had spent many days on a hungry stomach. She was more or less used to this, but she didn't imagine that she'd be this careless again.

In her own dreamland, Yukiko didn't realize someone walking towards her until he was standing right in front of her.

"Hey, Yukiko" said Atsuo, snapping Yukiko from her thoughts "nice seeing you here."

"Oh Atsuo," Yukiko said, a little surprised "I did not see you here, what are you doing at this late hour?"

"I could ask you the same thing," Atsuo replied "but I am going to grab a bite to eat, do you want to join me?"

Considering Atsuo's size, Yukiko highly doubted that it would be just a bite. And as much as Yukiko wanted to scream a yes, she knew she couldn't.

"No thanks'" she replied "I was just heading home, and I'm not hungry either."

Her stomach decided to imitate a demon at that very moment. Atsuo let out a chuckle after hearing that while Yukiko just glared at him to stop.

"It seems that your stomach disagrees with you," he said, still chuckling "come on, I know this place that has the best burgers in the village."

"I said I can't go," Yukiko replied a little rudely "didn't you hear me the first time."

Atsuo looked a little disheartened and it made Yukiko feel guilty.

"That's fine, I guess" said Atsuo, looking hurt "If you don't want to spend time with me..."

"No, it's not that" Yukiko replied, trying to defend herself "It's just that.... how do I say it..... I'm in no condition to eat outside food."

"What?" Atsuo asked "Are you sick or something?"

"No..." replied Yukiko "I'm broke till tomorrow and prefer to hide in my apartment till I can afford items of daily necessities."

"Why does it matter that you're broke then," said Atsuo "it's not like I was going to let you pay anyways."

Yukiko's eyes widened at that "No, I can't let you do that" she said "I'll probably find some instant ramen at home or something..."

"And if you don't, you'll starve yourself for the rest of the night" said Atsuo, "That's it, you're coming with me."

"But Atsuo-"

"Nope" he replied "I'm not hearing any excuses."

"Fine" replied Yukiko, "but next time, I'm paying."

"Have you seen how much I eat at once?" asked Atsuo.

"I noticed," said Yukiko, eying Atsuo from head to toe. Sure, he was a bit overweight-okay, a bit is an under exaggeration-, but he wasn't bad looking. Wait, why was she thinking about this again "anyways, I need to repay you somehow. I don't like being in debt."

"Fine, you can repay the debt by spending time with boring old me" Atsuo replied " or not..... I'm sure you have better things to do."

"Nah, I'd like that," said "all I do whole day is clean my toys and maybe find someone to play with."

"Toys?" Atsuo asked, a little confused "What kind of toys?"

"Wouldn't you like to find out" Yukiko said, smirking seductively. The look in her eyes sent shivers down Atsuos spine and no matter how curious he was, a voice in his head told him that it was probably a bad idea.

"Here we are" said Atsuo. Their arrival at the restaurant saved Atsuo from answering an awkward question.



Yukiko stood outside her apartment, fumbling with her keys to open the door. Atsuo was with her too, he insisted on walking her home despite her declining his offer.

'So he isn't that different from the others' Yukiko thought 'he obviously wants that in return... I should have know....'

Once she unlocked the door and opened it "Coming in?" Yukiko asked "I'd probably find some hot chocolate or something."

"I'm sorry Yukiko, but I'm afraid I can't" Atsuo replied, shocking Yukiko "I've gotta go home. Hana-chan might be worried."

"Wait, so you're not staying?" Yukiko asked "but what about my 'toys' you wanted to check out?"

"Maybe next time" he replied "I can even get a couple of action figures I've been collecting."

"Action figures?" Yukiko asked, confused.

"Yeah," Atsuo replied "Weren't we just talking about that?"

Yukiko realized that Atsuo had misunderstood her, and in turn, she had misunderstood his intensions. "Yeah we were, I just..... Never mind me. Maybe we can see your action figures later..."

"Cool," Atsuo said "bye then, see you later." With that, Atsuo turned to leave. A few steps ahead, he heard Yukiko call out to him. Just as he turned, he fell back as Yukiko bumped into him. A while of awkward standing later, Atsuo realized that Yukiko didn't bump into him, but she hugged him. Atsuo was shocked, but he hugged her back.

Once Yukiko let go, Atsuo did the same too. He did not want to end the embrace, but he knew Yukiko could break him if he got too clingy.

"Thank you for everything" said Yukiko and she stood on her toes to plant a kiss on his cheek.

"Bye" Yukiko said as she walked back into her apartment and closed the door. Atsuo though, stood on the same spot for a long time, touching the cheek where Yukiko had kissed him.
Path mission:

INTELLIGENCE
DIVISION LEADER :: Hoshi the Prince
MISSION ::
1. Cleaning the code room

I was originally going to write a normal mission, but I liked the RTN version better.

Oh, and I don't know if Atsuo has action figures, but for the sake of this story, lets just assume he does.....

And an interesting thing I found out while writing this. 'Cheque' is spelled 'check' in American English. I was writing this and the red squiggly lines came under cheque. I got confused as I knew I was spelling it correct. I even checked in my accounts book. So I goodled it and found out about the cheque-check thing. I know most of the American-British English difference words, like favourite-favorite, colour-color etc. But this I never knew. You learn new things everyday I guess.
